Dog Walking East Cambridge

About: I am new to the Boston area and looking to offer my services! I have been pet sitting and dog walking in Western MA since 2019, and since then my clientele has grown in size and scope (I’ve even cared for farm animals and exotic birds), but I have always loved animals, and dogs, especially. With my many years of experience caring for others’ pets, I have honed my skills and I take pride in the love and attention I pour into every walk and visit. You can be sure to receive high-quality and individualized care specific to your special buddy. Even after many years and many animals, I treat every new client as if they were my own beloved pet. I have experience with dogs of all ages, size and breed, including those with medical and behavioral needs. My experience also includes oral administration of medication and light training. I would be happy to share references with prospective clients. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to meeting your fur baby!❤️🐶 My work schedule changes week by week but I am willing, able and eager to fit your pup in for walks. I am able to care for my dogs in my own home if the parent is comfortable with them being alone in a new environment for up to four hours if I am scheduled to work (I am happy to have this discussion if the situation arises!) I am very diligent when it comes to safety and routine. I try my hardest to make help pets adjust to their owners’ absence by giving lots of attention, love and stimulation. Additionally I like to know what your pet’s daily routine looks like so their time with me is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible for the animal.

“Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!”

“Michael is very responsive, flexible and dedicated. He gives me regular update and takes dog walking to the next level. You can tell that he enjoys it. I’m a repeat client ;)”

“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”

“Elizabeth was great! She was able to walk our puppy with less than 24 hours notice. I had a narrow window of time to give her the lowdown of what she needed to know, and she was a trooper in taking it all in and executing what we asked for our Maple’s walk on a hot day.”

About: I've grown up around dogs and love spending time with them. I deeply miss my family dog who I always spoil when I visit. Outside of my family I regularly am my friends go to care taking/ walking person. I'm comfortable with dogs of any size except extra-large breeds. I can also give medication that's mixed into food, though I'm not set up for injections. I live with roommates who also have pet care experience in a quiet household. My schedule is flexible I work from home, so I can offer more consistent attention and some flexibility around visit times. My neighborhood has several parks nearby and is easy and pleasant to walk around, so walks are never just a quick lap around the block. I am currently working part time and am available for weekly or even daily times! My schedule will be updated regularly to reflect any unavailability ahead of time. My home is currently pet free and I have a large living room area they can explore around. Before any pets visit I make sure there isn't anything that they shouldn't interact with. I clean the space and check for any plants that may need to be moved around and I can keep them crated if needed too.

“Alyssa was fantastic!! Took the time to meet my pup & go over instructions. She did great my dog & I always came home to a very happy & tired dog. Would definitely recommend booking with her”

Stephanie M.

“Denise did a fantastic job taking care of our girl. She was highly communicative and super accommodating. Highly recommend!”

Lexi & John L.

“Jo & Adam C have taken care of my pup Korra multiple times--they even accommodated a walk for her sometime ago on very short notice! They are very easy to work with and are friendly, as well as great communicators. Korra seems to love them whenever she sees them. I would definitely use them again!”

“Cecilia is the absolute best! She started walking my dog, Elphie, while I’m gone and has been instrumental in helping as we transition to a two dog household adding in a senior, deaf rescue. She gained both dogs trust and they look forward to seeing her everyday. I would highly recommend Cecilia for all your pet care needs! She is kind, reliable, thorough, attentive to my girls needs - everything you want when you’re away from home!”

“Emily is a fantastic, wonderfully caring dog walker / pet care taker. We use her services for daily weekday walks for both of our dogs which have very different needs ( a 14 yr old golden doodle with mobility issues and a 10 yr old lab that still thinks she's 3 yr old spring chicken). She has also house sat over a navigation for us so that they didn't have to go into a kennel. She is trustworthy, communicative and extremely kind. You'd be fortunate to have her services.”

About: I was a long time pet parent for over 20 years. I've lived in the East Cambridge area for over 3 years and know all the best spots for walks. I stay home most of the day, so I can keep a close eye on your pet. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm available most days from morning to late afternoon. I'm happy to work with you to find a time that works best for everyone. I was previously a realtor assistant and have 10+ years of experience entering other's homes, respecting privacy, and making sure to securely lock the entryways before leaving.

“Stacy has been a lifesaver. We moved to the Boston area with little notice, and our mini poodle needed a dog walker on the days me and my spouse were at the office. Stacy stepped in and has taken excellent walks, and is super communicative and responsive. Our pooch and we are super happy with Stacy's service.”

Heather B.

“Very kind and patient with our aggressive reactive dog!”

About: While I am new to rover, I am definitely not new with pets! I’ve taken care of my dog at home since I was 11. he was a small Pomeranian with alopecia so I am familiar what it takes to take care of smaller dogs. I have always loved cats as well and have taken care of cats for families and friends and moving to Boston I recently adopted a cat of my own, which has been one of the greatest decisions I’ve made. I am currently working full-time in research so I usually leave early and come back at around four. Other than my work hours, I am pretty flexible. I will take the time to build trust if needed and make sure their needs are met! Whether it’s playing with them at home or walking them around town I’ll make sure they get what they need.

“Chad was great! They met our dog Clover on the same day as they had their first walk and she was immediately at ease. She can sometimes be skiddish and wary of new people and situations, but she loved Chad right away. We love that Chad lives close and will take Clover on walks to the Boston Commons to see all the flowers and people watch. She's more of a human than a dog, in my opinion, and she really loves time with her trusted people just chilling in the sun. Thanks so much for being her new friend, Chad!”

About: I have been an animal lover in my whole life growing up. I had a white cocker spaniel named Rainbow (that was the first thing I thought of when I got him as a five-year-old). she sparked a lifelong love for pets since then I’ve carried for cats and dogs of many friends and family members. I am currently a full-time student. I am able to have drop in visits on the weekends and also some time during the week. I can do doggy day care during the weekends and a few days during the week as well. I am able to on-board depending on a few factors and house sit. I do live in an apartment with a few other roommates who can help take care and provide services. There is a park near where I live which I can take them too.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My family has always had a family dog. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I am very attentive to a dog’s needs and wants. I just graduated from an occupational therapy graduate program. I am in the process of applying and interviewing for jobs, which leaves my schedule quite flexible. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. If I were to be in your home, I will leave it just as/nicer than I found it and your pup will even be happier. I understand that it takes a lot of trust to allow someone into their home and to take care of a loved one, and I will do everything in my power to keep that trust safe and build from it.

About: My family has had dogs and cats since I was young and I now have a cat of my own. As a kid I got to know my neighbors through their dogs. I have experience taking take of dogs of various breeds, sizes and ages. I am currently working full-time with a flexible schedule. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to make it work. I quadruple check that harness and leash are secure before we even leave the house. Every pet has their own needs and will discuss with you before taking care of your pet.
