Dog Walking Eastham

About: I have take care of animals for over 2 decades. Pups are my favorite and I also have chickens and volunteers with horses on a local farm. I respect nature and appreciate what great companions animals are for us humans. I treat them as family members. I had 3 dogs from puppies to their senior age and understand all stages of dog lives. I can play, socialize, train puppies. Walk fast pace with athletic dogs or slow down for littles or seniors. I can give medicine and keep an eye on health any conditions. I have 10yo son who is a huge dog lover and helps out with our dog and chickens and also does barn chores at the farm. I feel so blessed we both feel the same love for all creatures on Earth. I currently work from home, so your pup(s) will have a companion most of the time. I also go on 2-3 walks a day and we have a nice private yard for additional play and relax. We have a private yard, one friendly 2yo Boston terrier who has proven to be more than a gracious host to all sorts of furry visitors. He naturally accepts their energy if they want to play or are shy and need time. We also had some rescues and traumatized pets and Gizmo proved to a respectful companion. He is the reason I love pups and want them to have the most fantastic time in our home.

About: I have experience walking all sorts of dogs from an elderly Bichon Frise to an energetic, young Chow mix. Pet parents trust me to give their dogs exercise and loving attention. I have experience giving medication to dogs and navigating challenging behaviors by maintaining the dog’s structure. I am active and adventurous. Your companion love hikes? Me too! Do they love running and playing? I’m game! They want love and reassurance- we all do sometimes! I’m currently between jobs so I have the flexibility to build the life I want! Which includes lots of dog walks. I love to get out there during the day so if you need morning or daytime walks..I’m your girl. I respect client’s homes and always leave it better than I found it. I make sure the maintain the same structure as usual in terms of meal and potty habits and house rules.

“Thank you so much for taking Tess and working with our schedule. We appreciate you!”

About: I have always taken care of dogs and cats throughout my whole life. I grew up with a Rottweiler lab, beagle and two black cats. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I currently am living and working remotely on Cape Cod. Enjoy staying active in my free time. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large yard. I also live with my fiance who is a registered nurse! We keep our home clean and tidy for any pets who stay.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs for my whole life. I love caring for them as I believe they care for us too. Own an oldie Goldie with my boyfriend! I am currently working in Chatham.

“Marissa was great, even did something I had forgot to ask her to do (wipe the dogs paws because of the salt)!”

About: I grew up with golden retrievers but have cared for and spent time with dogs of many breeds and sizes. Building trust and showing love is the name of the game. I work part time and enjoy being active outside so there’s nothing like enjoying the outdoors walking and playing with a dog. I know how important a good long and fun walk or just a nice long visit is especially when a dog is missing his/her loved ones. Safety is my main priority and I’m always aware of other animals, obstacles and the environment. I double check everything. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness is my priority.

“We were in need for a very last minute responsible, caring person to provide drop in and walks for our two dogs. Kellie responded immediately and based on your prompt response, communication and rave reviews, we hired her. She was responsive to my questions, very attentive to our two dogs and took extra special care of them due to the extreme heat. She sent pictures and comments and updated us frequently. Kellie is kind, attentive and an excellent caregiver. We will definitely be using Kellie’s services again and we strongly encourage you to as well!”

About: My partner and I are absolutely obsessed with dogs! We both grew up with dogs and have each raised and trained our dogs Toffee and Tony since they were puppies. We know the responsibility involved to care for your furry friend and will make them feel at home. - 15 years experience: puppy training, house and crate-training, boarding - 2 dog sitters with 2 dogs at home - Flexible schedule My partner and I both work from home so we walk our pups multiple times a day and take them to the dog park whenever the weather permits!

About: With a deep passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a level of care and understanding that goes beyond the basics. I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter for over two years, where I gained experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including those who needed extra patience and love. This experience taught me how to read canine body language, build trust, and handle all kinds of situations calmly and confidently. I’m also entering my third year working at a dog daycare, where I manage group play sessions, monitor behavior, and ensure each dog is safe, engaged, and happy throughout the day. I’ve worked with puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable tailoring care to meet each dog's unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every dog like my own—whether we’re going for a walk, spending the night, or just sharing a moment of calm. You can trust that your dog will not only be cared for but genuinely loved. I currently work at a dog daycare everyday other than Wednesday 8 AM to 5 PM, I have a lunch break from 12 PM to 2 PM, and I’m happy to do quick drop-ins or walks during that time if you’re nearby. I'm fully available on weekends and Wednesdays for dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight stays. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a weekend buddy, or some loving company while you're away, I’m here to help! Whether your dog is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their comfort and well-being come first. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I will treat your home and your pup with complete respect. I follow all your instructions closely, from feeding to medication to where your dog likes to nap. I keep things tidy and make sure your dog feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

“Great walker and good communicator!”

“Caroline was extremely flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Our dog is cautious around new people and he took to her right away. He dog got to experience some fun adventures with her since she knows some great secret spots around the cape. We look forward to continuing to use Caroline anytime we’re down the Cape.”

About: I am a very active 49 year old mom with adult children and two small dogs. I grew up with animals my whole life, and my family even owned a chain of pet stores when I was growing up, where I worked. My family is packed with doctors and vets. I move to the Cape full time and am available to walk dogs, house sit, and board small to medium sized animals in my home in Orleans. We have a fenced in backyard and lots of space to run on the beach. I work remotely, part-time as an attorney and set my own schedule. My true love is animals! My flexibility gives me plenty of time to care for pets, in your home, in mine, or just for a walk. I take my dogs for a daily run to on the beach and am happy to take along another. I can also care for your dog alone in your home (and leave mine home with my amazing family). Finally, I am available for walking your pup, most days in your neighborhood or mine. We have an acre of land and half is fenced in for dogs. We have extra cages if desired. Ours never enjoyed their crates. We will follow your schedule and treat your pet like a member of the family. We invite interviews in advance to ensure we are the right fit for your pet.

“We hired Laurie to bale us out when we were in a situation, one with a broken leg the other with the darn upper respiratory virus. She was great. Very take charge, warm and friendly and our dog loved her. She gave good feedback about her walks and even helped catch our little sneak when she escaped our yard before her walk. I highlyrecommend Laurie!”

About: Lifelong dog owner and new cat mom! Batman is my dog and is 10 y/o and 75+ lbs. Did primary care for him from COVID onward (feeding, walking, spending time with, etc.) I’ve also frequently pet sat for friends and family who are out of town. Other skills/ situations I’ve handled in the past: - Training reinforcement (dog should already know the skill and/or command) - Dogs with knee injuries - Dogs with separation anxiety - Giving medication - Potty training (limited) - Dogs who are too big to be lap dogs and haven’t realized it yet LOL I am also a cape local, so I’ve learned all the good walking spots around here If you have any questions, lmk! Currently on summer break before going to NYC for college in late August, so I’ve got plenty of free time before then! Weekly availability schedule as follows: S: 12-7pm M: 9am-12:30, 1:30-7pm T: 9am-12:30, 1:30-6pm W: 9am-12:30, 1:30-7pm Th: 9am-1:30pm F: 9am-12:30, 1:30-7pm S: 12-6pm *I may be able to schedule outside of available times with 1 week of notice, but can make no guarantees. Please contact me first if you’re looking for a time outside my typical hours. My pets follow feeding schedules, so that’s 100% something I can accommodate. I have handled pets with limited access to or from parts of homes before. My dog has walked on both a harness and a collar, so I have experience with both. Please leave a harness is clear view of that’s your preference. Crating is not something I do with my pets, but I am aware of how to if that’s something you’d like. I interned with an interior designer, so I am aware of home etiquette! My baseline is taking shoes off at the door, sticking to main areas (kitchen, living room, yard), not accepting or eating food, drinking from my own water bottle, and I’ll typically use the bathroom in my own home before I go to a client’s unless it’s an emergency. If any of that is different in your home or you want clarification I can absolutely do that, just let me know ahead of time! And I will NEVER give out an address, security code, or key location.

I have my own dog at home that is super friendly and live in a quiet neighborhood which is great for walks and meeting other people and their dogs.
