Dog Walkers in Charlton, MA

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and horses for as long as I remember. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few years. Any family pets we've had (cats, dogs, and horses) have lived all the way up to their senior years (and even passed the "intended age range" of their breed). I'm working full time from Wednesday to Saturday 10 am to 8:30 pm (sometimes upwards to an hour longer there) But I'm available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. If it's just to walk your pet or drop in, I can come over before work. I can house sit starting Sunday, but can't stay until I have to go to work Wednesday. I absolutely love pets and will treat them like my own. I can't board or take them to my house. I'll keep them safe while in my care. I have always been an animal lover since I can remember. So their safe in my hands when I'm walking them, coming for a drop in, or house sitting. Due to my work schedule, I am available Sunday through Tuesday for walking, drop ins, and house/dog sitting. I can either spend part of my day or my whole day with your pet. I try to fit in as much time with my animals as I can. Taking my dog for a walk, groom my familys horses, and even cuddle with my cats. I can make some exceptions with house sitting and drop ins. HOUSE SITTING: I'll gladly accept! If i am in college as well, I'll bring my laptop to work on homework. DROP INS: I will come in before work (around 8 am) to feed/walk them and I can come in after work for a check up (around 9 or 10 pm). If your yard is fenced in, I will gladly sit outside with your pet. Maybe even take a book with me so your dog can stretch their legs, play for a little bit and get some fresh air for a while. I will treat your dogs and cats like their my own and give them as much care as I can along with play times.

“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”

About: I am very open in my schedule and absolutely love dogs. I have grown up with at least one dog in my home my whole life and now own my own black lab mix. To me, pets are family! I have been a nanny for many years and all of the families have also had dogs that I would take care of simultaneously. I also worked for a few families to care for their dogs in the past assisting with feedings, play time, and walks. I have some experience training using a clicker as I have trained my own dog and know of little tricks. Dogs brighten up my day and I love being around them whenever I can. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of open time in my schedule to attend to your animals and give them lots of play time and attention! I offer caring for pets in my client’s homes and always make sure to ask about fenced in yards, safety precautions, allergies, and any other precautions the owner needs me to be aware of. I also only do walks on sidewalks or non busy roads when possible.

“Sabrina has been great with Max; she has taken him on several walks and he is always excited to see her. You can tell she really cares about your pets as if they were her own.”

About: Dogs have always been my favorite animal since I can remember! I love all breeds and will walk, feed, play with, cuddle & love every pup I am entrusted with. Working with dogs is my dream job and you can be assured that I will be 100% responsible with your pets. After all- they're part of your family! This is what i do for a living, so i have open availability and have the opportunity to be very flexible! I take care of dogs daily and love it I have a big open yard and field, both with a long run for your dogs to be on outside. I can take them for a walk on the property leashed (unless trained off leash) and can also provide a loving and safe home for them while youre away. I have a crate here and beds! And will always be attentive to their wants and needs.

About: Although always a pet owner and lover, we have opened our home to foster pets over the last five years. We have had small litters of puppies, kittens, have helped train and socialize and can offer quiet space for shy animals to decompress. We are an active family and would ensure dogs are getting lots of outdoor time in a safe and loving environment. I have the benefit of working from home so I am always available. I have flexibility to take breaks if attention is needed, and have also had experience with plenty of middle of the night wake-ups for puppies not quite ready to make it through the night. Whether in my home or yours, I will always ensure to stick to the pet’s routine and comfort level so that their stress levels are low and their needs are met.
