Dog Walkers in Cummington, MA

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: 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.

“Jeremy went above and beyond and was very attentive to all of my dog’s needs. And willing to trust her even on a first time walk! Would definitely hire again. Thanks a bunch.”

“Danielle is the best dogwalker I've ever had. She's very attentive and knows each dogs special needs. They love her and go crazy when they hear her car in the driveway. I couldn't be happier!”

About: Have owned dogs for over 20 years, pet sit for friends, family, and neighbors. I am over cautious and protective when it comes to animals, I'm also active so love walking dogs, throwing a ball for them, or taking them to our local lake for a swim. I have tons of patience for shy dogs, I have dealt with rescue dogs and know when to get close or not to an animal. I have never had an incident where I have had a dog become aggressive with me. I have taken my own dog to obedience school a few times and learned a few key trips for working with difficult dogs or puppies. I have taken care of puppies within the past three years and am comfortable with the extra care they require. I have a solid connection with our local vet and emergency animal hospital and am able to handle dogs who need shots or medications administered. I work from home and have several pets already needing care. Bathroom breaks, walks, ball throwing, catnip time, all of it already happens in my home. We have several pet fences within our home and a puppy proof first floor. If a pet is okay of leash then we walk them around our 4 acres throwing a ball or whatever the pet likes. If a pet is not okay off leash, then we just walk them on a leash on our land every 1.5 or 2 hours or as needed. Water bowls are everywhere, no chemicals are on site within reach of curious puppies, and no cars move very quickly on our driveway and everyone who does arrive at our home knows we have several pets and need to slow down. We have owned dogs for over 25 years and have never had any of our pets get injured.

“So happy!!! I always stress about leaving Odys at home when I’m working longer days and Alexis has been AMAZING! Sending me videos, pictures, and summarizing their time together! So great!”

About: I'm available for all holidays starting with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and New Year's Eve I'm a lifetime pet owner and pet sitter with strong references 🙏 I'm not employed by anyone else, so my time is wide open and I live on a quiet dead end street and close to regular parks and dog parks / trails. I always take the owners preferences seriously, but I do like to spoil with good food and treats. I also am good with grooming calmingly.

“Ziggy walked our two large, energetic Pyrenees mixes and did an amazing job! One dog is a recent rescue and Ziggy was prepared to avoid interactions with other dogs on trail, especially off leash ones which happens a lot in our neck of the woods. We highly recommend Ziggy for any dog walking or animal care needs!”

“Amad was great! I left my high energy dog with my 88-year-old mother and hired Amad to walk the dog. He was open to suggestions, sweet with my mother, communicative, loved by our dog, and very respectful. I would definitely recommend him and I will hire him again, if my dog is back in his area.”

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!

“Aspen was very kind. She spent time getting to know and understand my puppy's strengths and weaknesses, before she took him out. He obviously liked her company. As he refused to pay attention to me when I met them outdoors too show them a place where she could play fetch with him for a while before bringing him in the house. She was also very good about using proper techniques too help with his weaknesses!”
