Dog Walkers in Charlemont, MA

“Carlea was amazing!! She was always communicative but also low key. I felt confident the dogs were getting their needs met (and my dogs are my children.. so they’re a little extra needy). I appreciated all the pics and comments Carlea sent. She was very available to help. I just can’t say enough great things about her!”

“Really kind and communicative! Iris took good care of my dog while I was away -- I think she really liked having someone new pay attention to her, haha. Very flexible with scheduling and responded quickly when I needed help with walks/check-ins on fairly short notice; I'm very thankful Iris was willing to work with me! ^^”

“I am a repeat customer of Heather’s and she’s great! I have an elderly dog that she walks twice weekly for me, and Heather is super attentive, responsive, and reliable. She gives detailed updates, and Holyfield loves her! I have only had great experiences with Heather, 10/10 would recommend”

About: I have had pets since I was around 8 years old, when my family had a dog and a cat. When I was a teenager, while living in, I took care of 2 young Yellow Labs while their family was vacationing in Europe. Soon after, I then adopted a young Irish Setter, who I enjoyed running with on the beach. She was full of energy, enthusiasm and so much fun. I enjoy being with dogs and walking outdoors with them, getting our fresh air and exercise. My daughter in law also cares for dogs in her home, through Rover, and I enjoy being with the dogs in her home. I enjoy brushing and playing with dogs and I am attentive to their feeding schedule and always put out fresh water with each meal. I am attentive to their outdoor needs and clean up well after them. Dogs are wonderful! I am available 7 days a week, from 6 am through 10 pm. I am happy to walk you dog, feed meals, play, and keep your dog company I have 3, 2 1/2 year old sister cats. I keep their litter boxes very clean, by usually cleaning them 3 times a day.. I feed them in the morning, and then I play with them, and they get their exercise by running up and down the steps in our house. I brush them frequently. When weather permits. I open a window for them to enjoy watching the outdoors. Dinner time and more playing. They absolutely are so happy to play with the catnip toys, along with lying next to me on the rug or on the couch. They sleep very well through the night. each

About: Hi, I’m Jaclyn! I’m new to Rover, but not to pet care. I’ve always been an animal lover. I have taken care of family, friends, and coworkers pets for over 15 years. This ranges from cats, kittens, senior dogs and puppies, to rabbits, guinea pigs, and tropical frogs. I make sure to keep your space clean, laundry, dishes, vacuum, take in the mail, take out the trash. I want your home to be a safe haven when you get back, with nothing to tend to when you return. I am a wonderful companion, and I make sure your pet is happy, clean, litter scooped, fed, walked, and they will get lots of love and playtime. Animals love me! Whether they enjoy playing ball or walks, or snuggles on the couch, I want to make sure your fur-babies are happy and cared for in your absence. I have references on my website which I’m happy to share upon request. I provide a free meet and greet before sitting dates; I want to meet you and your pet, and ensure they are comfortable with me ahead of my visit. I love check-ins for longer stays and will send photos if desired. My house sitting overnight services are in high-demand so please book ahead for best results. Let me know how I can help! I look forward to meeting you ☺️🐶🐾 My main focus is on building dog walking and pet care services, so I’m available for all your pet care needs! I am often in Amherst or Greenfield and don’t mind traveling. My house sitting is very in demand so please book early. I have more flexibility for daytime walks. Thank you! I will go over your regular routines with you about your furry family member, and chat about what keeping your pet safe looks like. I love a good harness for walks, and carefully supervised backyard playtime. Wood trails are great for walks and I always keep a close eye and make sure your pet is not getting into any mischief! I exercise the utmost caution when walking on the street and keep alert for traffic or any other hazards. I care for dogs in a reassuring, calm way, with lots of praise and patience. I carefully assess dogs we may meet on the street to ensure safety and distance if necessary. I have a good eye for ticks and am always checking and finding them, but your dog should be treated for this too. Your best friend is in good hands with me!

About: I've taken care of animals all shapes and sizes since I can remember. Growing up my only job was to make sure my fur babies were fed and loved unconditionally. I would go to a friend of the family and help her with her pit bull and (several) greyhounds. I've worked at kennels from a young age and have had my own share of birds, mice, fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and chinchillas as well as dogs and cats. The home has only been without pets for around 7 months now and I would love to dedicate some of my time to people who need genuine love and care for their fur babies! I do not have a job, I am around all of the time! I can be there any time day or night! You name it. I do not have a fenced in yard, however all of the neighborhood doggies are very very friendly. I have a decent sized yard and live next to multiple fields and grassy areas.

About: I’ve interned at my local vet clinic for two years now and have recently moved to a paid position as an assistant! through this internship i have not only learned substantial knowledge regarding pet care, such as how to most effectively administer medications, but also discovered my love for pet sitting, as i have become one of the veterinarian’s permanent pet sitter! i also plan to go to vet school after i earn my bachelors degree! i am currently working various part time jobs, so i will need at least two weeks notice for a majority of the services i provide. i will try my best to arrange my schedule for your convenience! i’ll treat your furry family like my own! i come with treats ready (with permission of course) and never leave without a game of fetch or whatever else your babies might enjoy! they’ll definitely be the highlight of my day, so i’ll try to be there’s too!

About: I have over twenty years of experience in pet care. I have worked at boarding facilities, in pet grooming boutiques, in retail pet stores, and have done a fair share of dog walking and pet sitting. I am freelance illustrator and graphic designer, so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I also have weekends free to do house sitting I believe I would bring compassion as well as experience to the job. I am extremely responsible and reliable 40 year-old animal lover willing to get my hands dirty and work hard.

About: I have had animals my whole life and always also have been employed in animal care fields. Personally have 5 dogs and 4 cats. I also have experience with farm animals including horses. I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I can always adjust my day as needed to fit your desired schedule. I understand the importance of routines for your pets and with a flexible schedule can always make sure their needs are met and they are happy and stress free.

About: I am a speech-language pathologist in Greenfield, MA and love working with animals on the side when possible. I started dogsitting down in Rhode Island in 2014 while I was in graduate school. I've also grown up with dogs in my life (a black lab/german shepard mix and a yellow lab). I have some experience with puppy training and enjoy going on walks with and exercising dogs. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I can remember. I've grown up having a dog. My first dog was a black lab/German Shepard mix named Pretina. I would play with her, take her on walks, go hiking with her, and many more activities. My second family dog, Piper, was a yellow lab who I had since she was a puppy. I helped in her puppy training and have enjoyed all the previously mentioned activities with her as well. Many of my friends and extended family have also had dogs which I've enjoyed playing with and caring for. During my undergrad career, I petsat for my professor's yellow lab and thoroughly enjoyed caring for him when I was so far from my own dog. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication, though I would like to be shown how to administer it and practice with the owner before sitting for the dog. I have some experience administering insulin shots to a cat. I work in schools, so I am generally available before 8am and after 3pm on weekdays during the school year. During school breaks and summer, I have more availability. I care for your dogs following client preferences. I will let dogs out into a fenced in back yard, crate when left alone at home, keep on leash for walks, etc. as indicated by owners. In general, I would default to keeping dogs on leash during walks and not letting them out on their own unless the yard is fenced in.

“Hillaree was wonderful! Our gentle giant was happy and well cared for while we were away. I enthusiastically recommend her, and will certainly rebook with Hillaree in the future!”

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!

“Piper and Sky loved meeting Meaghan and they had a great walk.”

About: I have been caring for people's furry (and sometimes not furry) babies regularly for the past 8 years. I have cared for dogs and cats, who have needed medicine and who have not, and who have needed extra special care and attention around walks. Most of my experience is around short and long-term overnights/stays, but can come for just walks or other shorter term care as well. I mainly work remotely and have a flexible schedule right now, so I am often available for last minute requests in addition to in-advance ones. In general, I work best with clear instructions. If you outline what you're looking for and what you're needing to best support your fur babies, I will make sure those things happen!

About: I have grown up surrounded by all sorts of animals and have been an adoring playmate for them all, except for one of my ferrets who only liked my mother! At an early age I began to provide animal care for people in my communities and have continued to gain experience ever since. From cats and dogs to horses and geckos, I've loved interacting with so many different personalities! I am a UMASS Student who is currently figuring out her summer work schedule. As of now weekdays are when I am most available but might still have availability on some weekends! Whenever I house/pet sit for a household, I take the instructions left for me very seriously and make sure to always return to them. I like to be in touch with the family of the pets I take care of so any anxieties or questions can be communicated effectively. I also like to inquire about the animal's demeanor and personality so I know what to expect. Overall, I try my absolute best to provide a comfy and fun environment!

About: I’ve had large dogs my whole life, 4 German shepherds as a kid and 2 Australian shepherds as an adult, and also several cats over the years. I have experience in dog grooming and veterinary assisting. I love animals and would love to help out with yours! I currently work Monday through Thursday so Fridays I am available for walks, drop ins and nail trimming or just a visit to break up the day for your pet while you’re gone. I have 3.5 acres of mowed lawn for my pups to run and play, and live their best life. I will do my best to ensure your animals are well cared for and exercised to keep them happy and content while you’re away.
