Sheila is great! She took care of my two dogs this evening and made them feel comfortable. One of my dogs has a severe anxiety disorder so taking him for a walk is no easy feat. She handled it and got him to walk for her. I am so grateful to Sheila for this. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker.

About: I am a reliable and attentive pet walker who loves getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I provide safe, engaging walks tailored to your pet’s needs, with plenty of care and attention. As a pet owner, I go the extra mile, I’ve even taken my own cat camping and to the beach, so I understand how to keep pets comfortable and happy in any environment. 🐾 I am currently taking a break from work and have plenty of time to adventure! I start my days generally early so I will be available! When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I carefully follow all care instructions to ensure consistency and minimize stress. Safety is always a priority, from securing the home to monitoring surroundings during walks. I also value trust and professionalism, providing reliable care while treating your home and pet with the utmost respect.

I have experience with special needs dogs, reactive/fearful dogs, puppies, housetraining, administering medication, senior dogs, leash pullers, escape artists, super chewers, you name it. I work part time from home, and make my own hours, so my schedule is flexible. If you’re unsure of my availability or looking for weekend care just ask! For dog walks I will take them on a familiar path or try to find a nice path nearby. I will keep them on leash unless there’s a fenced in area, and happy to accommodate any requests you have.

I deeply care for animals well being, I do everything I can to make sure pets get enough attention, care and love while their owners are away.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs, along with other animals such as goats and bunnies. There was never a time in my life where my family didn’t own at least one dog. When I'm home I love hiking with my Pyrenees Mountain dog. I currently work a full-time job from 8:30-5 pm Monday through Friday. I will be working remotely so I will be able to hangout with your pet during this time. I currently have a dog and two cats so at the time I am not offering pet boarding in my house but I will watch your pet from your home and provide potty breaks and walks. I will be working from home so I’ll be able to hangout with them during the day while I work.

About: I have cared for pets for almost 6 years, ranging from pet sitting to caring for dogs while working at my local grooming facility. I also frequently volunteer at Cape Ann Animal Aid in their cat wing caring for the shelter cats. I have fed, cleaned, and walked dogs. I am also experienced in veterinary care including administering medications and being certified in FearFree, Pet first aid, Pet CPR, and more. I fully dedicate my time to your pets, and I am able to take them to dog parks, beaches, anything that’ll allow them to socialize and get proper exercise! When you are gone I would do anything and everything to make your pet feel as comfortable as they can, as well as keeping up with their current routine. I am experienced in dogs/cats that are very anxious, whether that means shy towards humans/dogs, afraid of loud noises, reactivity, etc. Due to my veterinary background and personal experience, I am fully capable of administering medications including daily or preventatives. (Oral, topical, etc) I am currently working part-time, but I am fully free on days that I am not working. I am available after 11am and before 8pm. I am available on weekdays and weekends, as well as some holidays. I am a college student, so I am only available over the summer, winter, and spring when I am home for breaks. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home at this time due to the temperament of my pets, however I can care for pets in clients homes. I am familiar with using crates, basic obedience training, and petsitting dogs and cats including feeding, cleaning, playing, and walking the dog.

About: I can take your dog on a short walk or can take your dog on longer walks such as hiking or going to the beach where they will get lots of exercise and/or socialization if needed. You won’t have to worry if your furry companion is lonely or bored when they are in my care! I love getting to know each individual dog and will cater to their specific needs. I have previous experience house sitting, dog walking, and making drop-in visits from my own business I started. I have a B.S. in Equine Studies, which has given me knowledge of basic small and large animal health, nutrition, diseases, and care. I have my own 2 year old Lab mix named Rory so dealing with puppies or energetic dogs is no problem for me! I can also provide longer visits at the home for those families who are away long periods of time during the day and want their furry friends to have a few hours of socialization. I offer this at a specialized rate, for about 2-3 hours at a time.

About: I’ve taken care of our dog (black Australian labradoodle) Levi since we got him almost 4 years ago. We also have chickens, so I’ve been around animals for most of my life! I love walking my friend’s dogs, and playing fetch with Levi in our yard, or going on runs together!! 🐾 I’m free at any time on the weekends, and during the week until July 31st I’m available in the early mornings (before 7am) and evenings (after 6pm). After July 31, I’m available any day, any time for the rest of the summer! In my home town, I walk my dog on a leash and make sure that he’s secure. Depending on your dog’s needs, I’m ready and willing to take any additional safety precautions.
