Dog Walking in Cumberland

About: Dogs have been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. Surrounded by GSDs and Goldens growing up, I quickly learned the joy (and responsibility!) of keeping them active, cared for, and loved while family members were away. From childhood through medical school, I have always brought that same energy, patience, and reliability to every pup I meet. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic play, or simply curling up with some company, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I'm a recent medical school graduate with time before the start of residency. With all of the important deadlines in my rear view mirror, I now have plenty of time to allocate to things outside of medicine. Whether it be weekday afternoons/evenings or anytime during the weekend, I always make sure to play fetch with the pup next door or tire him out on a run! With a fenced-in backyard and plenty of room inside, I have plenty of space to make your pup feel right at home. If need be, I can always take home a crate if that is the safe space your pup desires as well!

“Couldn't be more grateful for Rachel's incredible service! She came to the rescue last minute and took my dog for a fantastic walk. Not only was she available on short notice, but she also went above and beyond to ensure my dog had a wonderful time. Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter/walker!”

About: I’ve sat for multiple families and pets and have owned many animals so comfortable with all. Even other pets like birds, turtles, lizards basically any. Treat animals like my own and frankly treat them more like kids considering single and child free lol. Past clients say the animals miss me now look around for me and look when they say my name I still stay in touch and visit sometimes. I work at Dunkin’ Donuts mornings in Cumberland Rhode Island but usually any day after 1-2pm I’m free and I get a couple days off In your home I’ll spend time playing with the pets inside and outside and clean up after them. Willing to help around the house if needed also

“Jess has been amazing with my dog! She was very proactive in getting to know him, having done two meet-and-greets before the first walk. That went a long way with my dog being able to trust her. If you’re looking for any help with your animals, I would definitely recommend Jess!”

“Cassandra is fabulous!!! She is always willing to help my family out even with last minute requests and emergencies. She’s been so loving to our crazy little pup and accepts him for who he is (a menace!) She always goes above and beyond our needs. We couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I grew up with a dog (Bassett) for most of my childhood until I was 19. Since then, I have been a pet sitter (both cats & dogs) at times for friends and family. In 2020, I worked at a doggy daycare for about a month (I left due to COVID). While there, I received additional training around dog behavior. I also fostered some cats while in college! I'm a caring, attentive, and intuitive person, and I prioritize safety and comfort for everyone (& dog) involved. I would love to do a meet & greet with you and your dog before starting walks! I'm currently working part-time and in graduate school. This semester, I'm available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends from 9:30am-3pm for some beautiful walks with furry friends! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a spacious yard and a spacious & cozy home. I also do not have a crate available at this time.

“Kimberly was awesome. She showed up in time (Even 5 minutes earlier) and she made sure to do everything that she could for my dog. Will definitely contact her again.”

About: My first pet was Max, a cat. We met when I first got home from the hospital. My second pet was Tigger, a striped kitty, who was my best friend from adolescence to adulthood. I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’ve been pet-sitting for friends and family since I could stay home on my own. I currently have an older Aussie named Rain, who I adopted in Colorado. We would regularly go to dog parks, people parks, hiking in the mountains, and any other adventure we could find. My family recently lost our Pitbull and our two kitties to old age. So I do have experience taking care of aging pets. As well as experience administering pills - even for cats. While I was in college, I worked at a doggie daycare kennel for a short while. I fed, bathed, and walked dogs. I fed cats, as well, and monitored the daycare room. And when I lived in Colorado, I volunteered for the Denver Dumb Friends League (animal shelter). There, I wrote copy for the available dogs, so I’d often go meet with the dogs and walk them so I could write something good. I also played with kittens because I could. I’m currently only working part time with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit your fur-baby into my schedule in a way that works best for him or her. I’m happy to meet you somewhere prior to my visit for an introduction! If it’s a last minute need, we can video chat so you can show me where everything is and we can go over any specifics. If all goes well and you need a more regular schedule, I’m happy to talk about that after my first visit! If the service being requested is a neighborhood walk, I will treat your pup as if they are my own and keep them safe. If you have a fenced yard and the service is just to let them out, I’ll make sure to keep them company while they do their business. And they will get lots of pets and love while I’m there!!

“Chrystal did amazing with my dog who is very high energy !! She also went out of her way to come meet poppy before taking her and was available last minute would definitely book with her again”

“Kelsey was very good with Moo. We were in a real bind with our dog care falling through last minute. This was our first time using Rover, and Kelsey was very responsive. She helped us with very little notice, and even came the day before to meet Moo and us so we could all be comfortable with each other. She was very respectful of our home and our sweet pup. We will definitely use her again!”

“Thank you Amy and Scott for a great first visit with Leo! I was very worried about how Leo would do but Amy and Scott made the visit very easy and stresa free! Leo enjoyed his walk and was very comfortable with them!”

“We use Sheri for walks and drop-in visits for our dog. She is always flexible when our schedule changes, punctual, a great communicator, and, most importantly, she takes great care of our dog. We love working with her and plan to continue using her services for the foreseeable future.”

“Katie was great. She accepted my request last minute and was so sweet and attentive with Rio. I would have her walk him again in a heart beat.”

About: Hi! I grew up with golden retrievers and am currently raising a 3yr old and 9mo lab retriever. They are my whole world and I treat other peoples dogs as if they were my own. I follow directions well, I’m capable of administering basic first aid/ medication, and am comfortable with puppies to senior dogs. Looking forward to meeting and caring for your pups. I currently work a 9-5. I’m available weekends, early mornings and nights for walks, feeding, and playtime. Feel free to reach out at anytime needed. I am comfortable with following feeding and water instructions. I’m used to giving medication if needed. I’ll always make sure your space is left safe and clean.

“Lesley is amazing! We contacted her on short notice when my fiance was suddenly returning back to work. We loved that she had the experience to provide training walks for our little guy who is still learning his leash manners. She was flexible with our schedules, and keeps in contact with updates/videos throughout. She has provided us great advice on how to be better dog parents while on our walks. In just a few visits our baby is already behaving so much better on his walks! Do yourself a favor and hire Lesley!”

“Molly is great, she communicates effectively and has been making strides with my shy, anxious pup! I have piece of mind knowing Bailey is in good hands!”
