Dog Walkers in Goshen, MA

“Carlea was amazing!! She was always communicative but also low key. I felt confident the dogs were getting their needs met (and my dogs are my children.. so they’re a little extra needy). I appreciated all the pics and comments Carlea sent. She was very available to help. I just can’t say enough great things about her!”

“Dan is so attentive and caring with my dog. He clearly understands dog behavior. I totally trust him which is very relieving since I have a large rescue. He communicates well, is always on time and is flexible if I need a change in schedule. I feel so lucky to have him around. Thanks for all you do Dan!”

About: I've had a dog or a cat (often both) in my life ever since I was 10. I love making new furiends, so I'd love to meet yours! My pup (Bailey) has separation anxiety, so I’m very familiar with supporting special needs, giving medication, and training. We alternate between off-leash fun walks and on-leash training walks, so I can adjust to your dog’s needs. I’m also a big fan of playing, especially if your dog needs to get some energy out. I split my time between volunteering at my local library and walking dogs, so my schedule is flexible. I prefer to walk dogs in the morning or early afternoon. I don't sit at my home, but I love getting updates about my pets when I'm away, so you can expect plenty of pictures and videos of your pets!

About: I've had and cared for animals my whole life, from the smallest fish to the largest horse, however didn't start taking it seriously until 13, when I successfully trained my senior dog how to do simple commands. Friends and family have asked for my help in caring for their pets, and I love every time they give me a call! My life feels simply incomplete without the ability to have and take care of animals, including exotics like birds, amphibians, saltwater (& fresh) fish, and reptiles! I work part time from home, which allows me an abundance of time to feed, walk, and care for any and all pets. I can spend more time caring for pets that need a little extra love! I'm an active person so I can spend a lot of time walking, playing and enriching your pets, or if they're not that active, I'm fine with just hanging out, too! I'm very patient, especially when meeting new pets, whether they're nervous, feisty, or just excited to meet a new friend.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life with experience ranging from hyper puppies to mellow older dogs. I've become the default care taker for any family members pet and love every second of it. My dog and I love going on walks and playing fetch in the backyard, she even sleeps on my bed which is the cutest thing ever. This is why I know how that special attention and physical activity is for a dog. I am capable of brushing and grooming the dog if they are well behaved. I've managed overnight care for a week while in school and making sure the pets were happy and well cared for. I'm reliable, organized and will always treat your dog as my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have my own vehicle and a flexible part time job. I'm available on weekdays and weekends while always willing to work with your schedule to do what is best for your pets. I make sure that my dog is walked or taken outside every 4 hours. Having explicit instructions on how to care for your pet is appreciated so that I can ensure that the best care is provided. I always check to make sure that gates are closed in the backyard and that whatever environment your dog is in they feel safe and happy.

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: Hi, I’m Jaclyn! I’m new to Rover, but not to pet care. I’ve always been an animal lover. I have taken care of family, friends, and coworkers pets for over 15 years. This ranges from cats, kittens, senior dogs and puppies, to rabbits, guinea pigs, and tropical frogs. I make sure to keep your space clean, laundry, dishes, vacuum, take in the mail, take out the trash. I want your home to be a safe haven when you get back, with nothing to tend to when you return. I am a wonderful companion, and I make sure your pet is happy, clean, litter scooped, fed, walked, and they will get lots of love and playtime. Animals love me! Whether they enjoy playing ball or walks, or snuggles on the couch, I want to make sure your fur-babies are happy and cared for in your absence. I have references on my website which I’m happy to share upon request. I provide a free meet and greet before sitting dates; I want to meet you and your pet, and ensure they are comfortable with me ahead of my visit. I love check-ins for longer stays and will send photos if desired. My house sitting overnight services are in high-demand so please book ahead for best results. Let me know how I can help! I look forward to meeting you ☺️🐶🐾 My main focus is on building dog walking and pet care services, so I’m available for all your pet care needs! I am often in Amherst or Greenfield and don’t mind traveling. My house sitting is very in demand so please book early. I have more flexibility for daytime walks. Thank you! I will go over your regular routines with you about your furry family member, and chat about what keeping your pet safe looks like. I love a good harness for walks, and carefully supervised backyard playtime. Wood trails are great for walks and I always keep a close eye and make sure your pet is not getting into any mischief! I exercise the utmost caution when walking on the street and keep alert for traffic or any other hazards. I care for dogs in a reassuring, calm way, with lots of praise and patience. I carefully assess dogs we may meet on the street to ensure safety and distance if necessary. I have a good eye for ticks and am always checking and finding them, but your dog should be treated for this too. Your best friend is in good hands with me!

About: I have had both cats and dogs in my life, so I am familiar with the care and love needed for both of them! I do work during the day, but I’m used to rushing home to spend time with my furry friends, as it’s my most favorite pastime. In addition to having my own pets, I’ve also been a dog walker on the app Wag! for about a year. If you’re looking for a caring and responsible animal lover, please send me a message! I work full time, Monday- Friday, but my week nights and weekends are wide open for boarding, sitting, or drop in visits. Also to make up for time in the house, I have a small dog park near my apartment that I would be more than happy to take your dog(s) to for some well deserved play time. I do my best to create the safest environment and loving environment for pets as possible! I’ve had a dog that loves to eat anything she could find, so I’m vigilant about keeping trash covered and the floors free of unsafe snacks. I also have experience with both reactive and social dogs, so I’m well aware of safe walking and play habits when it comes to being around other dogs and people in public.

About: Lifelong dog lover skilled with reactive, anxious dogs and puppies—experienced in training, stimulation, and gentle, attentive care. I am a dog mom myself! My Dogs name is Eggy who is a 2 year old rescue with a love of balls and social anxiety. I am currently in graduate school working towards my masters in clinical social work. With this, I have ample time to spend with furry friends. Entering someone’s home is an honor and a privilege, especially when you are in-trusted with the care and safety of a pet. With this I try to respect the expectations of every pet parent and every pet. I work to leave a home as I found it, be mindful of the needs of each pet, and express my gratitude.

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.

About: It might sound funny to say I have 26 years of pet care experience, but I’ve truly never known a life without animals. I grew up in a family where dogs and cats were part of the family, not just pets. Over the years, we’ve loved pugs, labs, terrier mixes, a cavapoo with epilepsy, rottweilers, dobermans, a brussels griffon, and an American bulldog. For a time, we even had bearded dragons and rabbits….every animal had a special place in our home! I’ve also had the joy of caring for households with both senior pets and energetic young ones, making sure each one got the attention and care they needed. These days, I live in Northampton with my sweet orange American Shorthair cat, Zora. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am, and I’d love to bring that same care and love to your pets too. I’m currently a PhD candidate, and during the summer months my schedule is much more flexible, as I’ll mainly be focused on researching and writing my dissertation. I’m truly lucky to have the privilege of being adaptable with my time, which allows me to adjust to the needs of each family I work with When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. When I’m visiting a client’s home I create a calm, secure environment where animals can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual routines, preferences, and any special needs they might have from medication schedules to favorite toys. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and keep communication open with frequent updates, photos, and check-ins. I know how hard it can be to be away from your pets, so I make it a priority to be as communicative and reassuring as possible, giving you peace of mind while you’re apart. My approach is gentle, patient, and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“James was great with Taina! When we returned back home, Taina looked happy and well taken care of. James followed the instructions I left for Tiana’s feeding and gave her nice walks. I was always updates with various pictures and a narrative of how the visit and walk went. I will definitely use James again!”

“Kelli is a strong communicator, dependable, and our Toby really took a liking to her. Toby returns from time with Kelli, happy and tired. We highly recommend Kelli!”

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.
