Dog Walking Easthampton

“Responsive, kind, courteous, and was great with my pup who had a bit of extra enthusiasm because of being cooped up inside with sickly me all morning. Took Calcifer through some snowy trails in our backyard with ease and aplomb, leaving me with a pup ready for cuddles while I slurp my soup. I couldn't be more grateful for the help!!!”

About: I grew up on a farm and always had dogs! Right now I have three dogs, and, as a teacher I have summers off. I’d love to spend my break taking care of your pups! As a teacher, I have the whole summer off. I’d be happy to take your dogs on walks whether quick or long. During the school year, if the timing is right, I would be happy to walk or watch your pets on weekends, evenings or breaks. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, reactive dogs, puppies and seniors. I love to take dogs on hikes, a stroll around the neighborhood, or playing in the yard. Growing up with livestock as well, I am responsible, calm in emergencies, and prioritize animals safety and well-being.

“Lovely, courteous, complimentary to our pup (who doesn't love a dogsitter that identifies and praises all our dog's best features?!?), and a really good sport hanging out with Calcifer on a muggy, hot, tick-filled day. Thanks!”

About: I have cared for friends and families dogs for 5 years. I have dealt with dogs with behavioral challenges, medication needs, mobility challenges. I am comfortable with large dogs and can handle them safely. Willing and able to get to know your animals and give them the best interactions I can. Patient and understanding. I am currently a student, studying online for the next 2 years. I have reliable transportation and can be available any day of the week, any time. I am detailed oriented when it comes to pet care instructions, will be followed exactly. I am energetic and can spend active time with animals that need some running around. I am extremely reliable and good communicator, you will be informed of your pets status and I will be available when I say I am. I am calm under pressure and have handled a number of emergency vet situations, ex. stomach problems, medication reaction, injury

About: I’ve spent over a decade working with animals, starting in Birmingham, Alabama, where I rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed dogs through a bully breed rescue. I’ve also rescued and socialized cats and kittens, rehoming entire families. I currently have an active profile with Trusted House Sitters that has several five star reviews. After moving to New England, I worked at a cat hospice and later as a veterinary assistant at an emergency hospital. I’ve always had animals since I was a kid—especially cats—and I’ve also cared for reptiles, small pets like hamsters, and even fish. I’ve lived in many homes over the years and have often housesat for friends and family, so I’m comfortable caring for both pets and the spaces they love. I even have experience as a house cleaner and organizer and believe in leaving spaces better than I found them. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work part-time as a cheer coach a couple of times a week and occasionally help with our family business, but my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to be available most days for quality time, pet visits, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure animals get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. 🐾 Caring for animals is truly a passion of mine, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I believe every walk, play session, or visit should be a highlight of their day, and I make sure to give them plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their owners are away.

“Betsy has been reliable and responsive and I am glad that I found her! She has been in touch whenever needed, and I am very glad to know that my dog is in caring hands!”

About: Taken care of several friends and family members pets over the last 10 years. Have owned cats and a rescue dog. Love animals and happy to help checkin on yours. Looking for basic feeding/walk check-ins. I am currently home with my kids and have a flexible schedule but afternoon/evenings are best during the week and weekends I am available anytime of day.

“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!”

“Tanya is terrific. She is conscientious and caring. She followed up with me and led me through the process to ensure she knew everything needed. And she took great care of our dog. Trusted her completely and our dog was absolutely comfortable. I would absolutely work with her again.”

About: I’ve been a dog care volunteer at Dakin for almost two years now where I’ve had robust training on how to properly handle dogs that may be stressed out. I’ve been trusted with handling the biggest of dogs to the smallest of pups. I have a flexible schedule. Currently most of my days are spent making art to sell at fairs so it doesn’t take much for me to go check in on your pets! I am a highly experienced dog walker with training on how to properly handle dogs in many situations. Volunteering at the shelter has given me experience in some high stress situations and I’ve always been able to manage it.

About: I have been a pet owner since I was in my 20s. Over the years I have rescued a number of animals in need, both dogs and cats. I have also helped friends with their animals, including taking them to the vet and watching them when their owners were out of town. With my own dog, we have a routine that includes multiple walks per day, as well as at least one car ride. I believe in following a pet's routine. I am free in the summer and on the weekends and in the evenings. It all depends on what someone needs in a person caring for their pet. I believe in following what a pet owner needs for the comfort of their animal. Depending on the need of your animal, I can take care of walks, bringing them to the park, feeding them, and whatever else they need.

About: I have had a deep love of animals as long as I can remember…This led me to receive my AVA certificate in 2020. I worked at a Tufts Clinic caring for animals both big and small gaining hands-on experience in total animal welfare. This time allowed me to gain an even deeper appreciation for our furry companions :) I’m currently taking classes and working part - time so I am pretty available throughout the weekdays. I am available on most weekends so please feel free to ask and I will let you know! I live in a large house with plenty of space for animals to explore and I also live in a community with great sidewalks and parks within walking distance from my home for your fur babies to play. At your house my attention is on your pet always. I grew up in a household where dogs and cats have always been an integral part of my life and I find a lot of joy in having them around :)

About: I have pet sat cats and dogs for the last 7 years, and am very attentive to individual needs. Having grown up with a cat myself and taking care of my sisters dog definitely set me up for successful pet care. I work part time currently so am often available up to 2 days during the week and often one weekend day to care for your pets! I often let the pets lead me at first when I enter their environment. I want them to feel safe and comfortable, and am very patient when dealing with more anxious or defensive pets.

About: My passion for caring started with dolls and stuffed animals, but has grown from that to animals and children. I've had experience taking care of many animals in the past (turtles, bunnies, cats, and dogs) and have extended my experience with animals to outside the home doing volunteer work. I'm currently enrolled in college taking Early Childhood Education classes and love to fill up my free time by taking care of animals! I go to school part time, and am currently finishing up the semester, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pet(s)! I'm very flexible and can work on most if not all days of the week or weekend. Any time too! Just let me know what you need at least a day in advance and I'll do my best to deliver. Safety is my top priority. I take everything into consideration, and I'm very curious about each individual pet. I look for anything that could be a potential hazard and pay close attention to the needs of each animal. I love to play games and spend quality time with animals. I love cooking and preparing meals, so I get that same joy when prepping meals for a pet as well.

About: I grew up with dogs. First, an eighty-pound lab with a five-hundred-pound personality. Then a water dog who swam with me all summer in Lake Michigan. And bulldogs, so many bulldogs. Now my wife and I live in Easthampton with a fifteen-pound walking Beanie Baby we adopted from Dakin. I could not live without dogs, and I wouldn’t want to. I would treat your dog like my own. I work part-time, which means your dog isn't competing with a packed schedule. Monday through Saturday, 8 am to 6:30 pm, I'm available for walks, drop-ins, or simply keeping your pup company. Six years of professional walking taught me a few things. 1) Standard leash only, four to six feet, never retractable. I bring my own, but am happy to use yours. 2) Never rush a dog through a sniff, because that fire hydrant at the end of the block is important information and your dog knows it. 3) Always clean up after them. 4) No AirPods, ever; I’d rather keep an ear out for oncoming traffic and any renegade squirrels. 5) Make walks fun. That means positive reinforcement, goofy voices, and treats for good sits and stays. Treats are on me.

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.

“Wonderful reliable sitter very saavy about dogs! Will use her again.”

“Hannah is super sweet and took the time to come meet before taking my dog out for the first time. The walk was a success and i appreciated the cute photos of him having fun.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and homes since I was in grade school, and so have 14 years of pet- and house-sitting experience. You can rely on me for numerous daily walks, active play dates, timely medicine provision, prescribed feedings, and even teeth cleaning. I’ve been a proud dog-owner since birth and currently have a sweet and goofy rescue fur baby (Armando). Rover is my only obligation as of now, as I don’t currently work. I’m an early riser as well as a night owl, so I can walk your pup(s) super early or late ~ and any time in between! My partner and I share a rescue dog in our home, so I’m available to house sit or do overnight stays since he can take care of our dog when I’m gone. Our doggo is super sweet, friendly, and loves other pets!! I have a very safe, gated 1,00 sqft house right off of the Deerfield Beach Island strip. we have a backyard with two permanent leashes so your pet(s) can hang out with me outside in close proximity. In my home your dogs will be allowed on all the furniture. In your home, I will respect whatever boundaries you have in place for your pets :)

About: I’ve had pets since childhood and know how to take care of them well, from dogs to guinea pigs I have had to care for multiple different types of animals and will always care for them as my own. I have pet sat both during the day and overnight for friends, family, and people outside of my everyday life, each time caring for the animal with the utmost care. I am currently working part time. I am very reliable and will make sure your pets get the opportunity to be active as much as possible and as much as they need. I will make sure to listen and pay close attention to what rules and behaviors follow to keep the pet safe in the home, and I will make sure not to let the animals out of my sight when letting them outside if needed.
