Dog Walking Dorchester

“Walter showed up promptly to meet Stryker and we made arrangements for 3 walks while we were on vacation. He showed up, sent pictures and a map of their walk. Put my mind at ease while away that he was getting exercise. Would definitely recommend Walter to anyone looking for pet care. Very satisfied.”

About: I’ve taken care of Family pets. I am Very Responsible for feeding, walking, playing and enjoying dogs unconditionally. I recognize that animals also need the same love and care that humans require. I am able to take care of your beloved dogs throughout the week and weekends. I am available in the early mornings and early afternoons I make sure to have all food and water available as required. I ensure that the animals are fenced or gated and I provide the proper care and timing for their bathroom schedule.

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with family dogs, and loved my own dogs and cats as a pet parent, so I’m very comfortable caring for both. I am also a volunteer at the Humane Society London & Middlesex. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, litter care and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable and experienced with administering basic medications if necessary. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to spend time with pets while house sitting, providing regular outdoor breaks, companionship and supervision throughout the day. My laptop is pretty easy to carry anywhere! For house sitting visits that are overnight, my husband and I will often work as a team, especially if there is more than 1 dog involved to provide the best possible care. Let me know in the request if for some reason you prefer just me (ex. If your animal is more comfortable with females or something). Most importantly, I know how much trust is involved in leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I’d want for my own — and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. 🐾 I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my day. I can easily bring my laptop with me while house sitting, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day rather than being away for long stretches. As long as I have Wi-Fi and a place to plug in, I’m all set! This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime and lots of companionship. Pets in my care are treated like family. I know how important routines, comfort and consistency are, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed and loved while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and mindful of things like secure doors and gates, feeding schedules, medications, walks and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs/cats from young to senior ages. I care for my own dog who is 15 years old and requitres frequent attention and medication. I've developed skills to administer medication orally with approved foods. I'm a full-time worker out of town. Fridays and Saturdays are my available days, preferrably in the mornings or afternoons. It offers time in between duties for my own pet. I would normally assess the pets condition/mood/etc. Check their water and food dishes. Prepare them for a potential walk or a breath of fresh air in a fenced area. assuring water and food dishes are full prior to leaving. Administering medication depending on agreement/approval with client.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and young, energetic pets as well as senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I also enjoy teaching tricks and basic commands using positive reinforcement. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and routine and love making sure they get plenty of play, exercise, attention, and affection. I work full-time and receive my schedule about a month in advance, so I’m able to plan pet care well ahead of time. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your home on my scheduled days off or around my work hours. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to coordinate in advance to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained. When caring for your pet in your home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine. I’m respectful of your home and will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other specific needs. I understand that pets often feel most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, and I’ll give them plenty of attention, patience, and companionship while you’re away.

About: I've owned pets my whole life, dogs and cats. I’ve pet-sat for other animal owners multiple times, especially in the past few months, while away or on vacation.

I'm currently doing an unpaid summer internship at a daycare for school three days a week, so I will have plenty of time to watch your animals! I am especially open and available on weekends, too!

About: Depuis toute petite, je me suis occupé de mon chat et des animaux de mes parents. En étant plus vieille, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper des chiens de ma sœur. J'ai la passion des animaux dans le sang. J'aimerais faire se travail à temps pleins. Lorsque j'aurai réunis assez d'argents, j'aimerais ouvrir mon propre studio de photographie animalière et faire du pet sitting en plus de cela. Ce serait mon plus grand rêve. Vous pouvez avoir une totale confiance envers moi. Je suis là pour vos chers animaux et pour eux seulement. J'ai toujours eu une connexion profonde envers les animaux, comme si j'étais destinés à les côtoyer. Je veux ce qu'il y a de mieux pour toutes les créatures de la planète. Si je pouvais adopter tout les animaux qui existe, je le ferais sans hésiter.

As the owner of a young, energetic American Labrador, Reni, I understand how important exercise, patience, enrichment, and mental stimulation are for dogs with lots of energy. Reni has taught me how to channel that energy in positive ways through training, enrichment activities, scent work, and engaging play. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and grew up with family dogs and other animals. I also have experience caring for neighbours’ pets and have developed hands-on experience with positive reinforcement and managing some dog reactivity through my own dog.

“Although Nicole and I were not able to complete our days of dog walks, I enjoyed meeting her so much and the one walk my dog had was very successful. We have just been through the worst heat wave I ever remember in Southwestern Ontario, so it was just too hot for my dog and for Nicole to be walking. But we stayed in touch each day and made our decisions together about the extreme weather. I'm only sorry that we did not get to know each other better. I would never hesitate to contact her another time.”

“As usual, smooth sailing. Friendly, prompt, diligent.”

About: I've had the privilege of growing up with dogs since I was little, so their day to day needs come naturally to me. Around 10 years old I took my love for animals to a new level by beginning to walk dogs in my neighborhood. The families that I worked for trusted me to care for their fur babies and I loved each of them as if they were my own. Over the years I have worked with a variety of dogs, small and large breeds, sweet & easy going dogs, reactive / more difficult dogs, and rescue as well. At the age of 21 I began working at a veterinary clinic and currently still work within the industry. The experience has given me immense hands-on knowledge and a deeper understanding of the medical side of pet care, animal welfare and everything it truly means to be a responsible pet owner. I believe the combination of my personal & professional experience as well as genuine love for animals sets me apart. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved and would be honored to provide that same level of care for your pets too. Caring for animals is part of both my personal and professional life. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic and love spending my free time caring for pets as well (my own dog included!). I'm currrently available for evening drop-ins during the week and dog walks or additional care on the weekends! My top priority is ensuring that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. Every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow their schedule as closely as possible to keep things stress-free and make them feel happy and comfortable. I provide lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and whatever else may be needed for each individual dog. With my experience in the veterinary field, I pay close attention to behavior, comfort levels, and overall wellbeing to ensure your pet is receiving the best possible care while you’re away.

About: I bring over three years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, combined with volunteer work at therapeutic riding programs and other animal care organizations. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and compassionate handling. Whether it’s energetic walks or calm, cozy sitting sessions, I’m dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.
