Dog Walking Grafton

About: I have been around animals ever since I was born, and started my first job petsitting in only 6th grade. I have worked with a variety of animals ranging from dogs and cats, to ducks, to chinchillas, to horses! I’ve always felt like I have a strong connection with animals, and see my own animals as children. This is why I want to help others take care of their fur babies knowing that they are in safe kind hands while they are away. It is my number one priority to make sure your animal is happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. Every animal has its own personality, and I’ve loved bonding with so many animals over the years. Animal experience: -dog -cat -horse -goat -chicken -duck -bunny -hamster -Guinea pig -chinchilla -turtle -hermit crab -fish Pet sitting is my full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for walks, drop in visits, and overnight care. I do have a few weekly dog walking clients that typically keep me busy from around 10 AM to 2 PM, but outside of those visits I am generally very flexible and can work around your schedule. I am also happy to accommodate same day bookings whenever possible! I firmly believe that a consistent routine for an animal is key to keeping them comfortable, especially if you are to leave. I would follow the owners daily routine to help keep your animals calmer. If they are crate trained I can put them in their crate, watch them in the yard, take them on walks, play with them, and cuddle at the end of the day. I strongly believe in the saying “leave it better than you found it”, which I intend to do in your home!

“Nicole was great and exceeded my expectations. She came over to meet our dogs before we left on vacation and they instantly liked her. While on vacation she sent videos and pictures after every walk and was ALWAYS on time. She made my vacation worry free and I can’t thank her enough!”

About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From growing up with pets to helping out friends and family with their dogs and cats, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience giving pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’ve also volunteered at dog daycares and animal shelters, where I learned how to handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I am currently working part time during the week but they are not long shifts so I will have a flexible schedule to be able to watch your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. On walks, I make sure leashes are secure and choose safe routes that fit your dog’s pace and energy level. During drop in visits, I’ll refresh food and water, give plenty of love and attention, and ensure everything is safe and secure before I leave.

About: I grew up always having dogs (of all ages) in the house, currently owning two dogs and a cat. I fostered many dogs/puppies for two years, as well as taken care of many family and friends pets. Some dog breeds include Bernese Mountain Dog, Havanese, Pitbull, Lab, Bulldogs, German Shepards, and so many more. I can feed, walk, bathe, basic train, and provide medicine if necessary. All fur babies are accepted as if they were apart of my own family ☺️ I am currently working part time on a rotating schedule, so I am able to care for your pets anytime of the week and I am flexible! I have a big backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. If needed or preferred, I have pet gates for play pen areas as well

“Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!”

About: Is your pup a social eater who gets a little sad when their humans are away? Don’t worry—I’m more than happy to sit on the floor with them, offer some calm encouragement, and help them feel comfortable enough to eat at their own pace. Maybe your senior cat needs medication, injections, or someone to keep a close eye on their resting respiratory rate, appetite, water intake, or other important health changes. Or maybe your furry family member simply needs someone to stop by for fresh food and water, playtime, and plenty of snuggles while you’re away. Whatever your pet’s needs, I’ll care for them with the same dedication and attention I give my own. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, including seniors and pets with complex medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, giving injections, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each pet’s unique routine. If your pet has a specific schedule or care plan, I’m happy to follow it closely to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a calm presence, or specialized care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also lived with veterinarians for 15 years, where I gained invaluable practical knowledge about animal behavior, common medical conditions, and the subtle changes that can signal something isn’t quite right. While I’m not a veterinarian, I learned what situations should prompt a call to you or your veterinarian, along with countless practical tips for safely handling and caring for pets. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone else with a member of your family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet will receive the same kindness, patience, attention, and respect I would want for my own. My goal is to match your pet's routine as much as possible while you are away, and my schedule reflects that. In addition to pet sitting, I care for an elderly family member, which allows for a lot of flexibility. I’m happy to come to your home, where your pet is most comfortable and their routine stays as normal as possible. My goal is to earn your cat or dog’s trust so they see my visits as something to look forward to while they’re missing their favorite people. With cats, I let them set the pace. I wait for them to approach, sniff me, and decide when they’re ready to say hello. Dogs are usually much more social, but I still like to get down to their level and let them get to know me before we jump into playtime or a walk. Trust is everything—both for your pets and for you. I want you to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and cared for just the way you would care for them yourself.

About: Every animal brings pure joy into my life, and I genuinely adore caring for all pets—from energetic wanderers to quiet, gentle souls who take a little time to warm up. I meet every pet exactly where they are, learning their unique language, respecting their boundaries, and making sure their days are full of comfort, safety, and genuine love. Living with my own three-legged dog and having nursed my sweet cats through cancer, I bring deep patience and calm confidence to medical routines, medication schedules, and unique physical needs. Whether your companion needs a brisk walk, a gentle ear scratch, or thoughtful care with their daily treatments, I’d love to connect and give your furry family member the dedicated attention they deserve! I have an open, flexible schedule dedicated to pet care from Sunday to Thursday (all day and evening). Whether your pet needs an early-morning walk, mid-day playtime, or evening drop-in visits and medications, I can easily match their exact routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment familiar, safe, and stress-free. I strictly follow your established routine—from exact feeding and medication times to favorite walking routes and play habits—so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space. During every visit or house-sitting stay, I provide attentive companionship, clean food and water bowls, and handle any necessary light tidy-up around pet areas. You will always receive detailed updates with photos after each visit, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is secure and your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.

“I know I can always count on Laura to take amazing care of my pups! She’s always on time, communicative and I know my dogs are always well cared for - I can’t recommend her enough! :)”

About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.

“Logan does a great job taking care of our pets, he is extremely reliable, responsive and his communication is clear. He is also very patient and shows a real connection with our dog and our cat. Fully recommended.”

About: Your dog will love me! I've been around animals my whole life, growing up on a horse farm and always having a dog by my side. My current furry friend is 6months old and my previous dog was nearly 17!! I have experience with dogs of all ages! I am also available take care of bunnies too! I am very experienced with them and know that sometimes a bunny break is needed <3 From the dog park, the fields, and to the city streets I am capable of bringing your dog to their favorite spots safely. I have a dog safe car seat readily in my vehicle if trips are requested! I'm super detail-oriented and always make sure the animals I care for are healthy and happy. Growing up on a horse farm taught me a lot about animal care, from brushing and feeding to the nitty-gritty like picking hooves. Plus, I've had dogs my whole life. Your pet will be in great hands! I care for pets in my home by ensuring they're as comfortable and healthy as possible! Cleanliness is super important for a pet's health. If requested, I'd be happy to bathe or brush your pet to keep them looking and feeling their best!

“Tori has been walking our 2 dogs, Apollo & Mia, for a few weeks now. She communicates well & is very accommodating. She takes great care of our pups and I know they enjoy their weekly walks with her. Would definitely recommend Tori for any dog sitting/walking needs!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets — dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. For the past 4–5 years, I’ve been looking after other people’s pets, along with helping out with my sister’s and dad’s dogs. I’m comfortable giving oral meds and eye drops, and I have experience caring for senior dogs who need some extra attention. While you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets are safe, loved, and getting all the care they deserve! I’m currently available weekdays and weekends, with a preference for mid-morning to early evening (10 AM – 7 PM), but I’m flexible with the hours to fit your needs! When caring for pets through Rover, I make sure they stick to their routines — with plenty of extra belly rubs and playtime! I treat every home with respect, keep things tidy, and send lots of happy updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I have 9 years of experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. I walked my neighbors dogs for 8 of those years and have had my own dog since, who I trained myself. I have always enjoyed spending time with my furry friends and will treat them like my own! I am in school full time during the day and have a part-time job Monday, Wednesday, Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I am available Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night while also having a few hours during the day for a possible potty break! I have always believed in slow introductions and building trust with animals. I love spending time with animals and will work to make their experience with a new sitter enjoyable. I am available for dog walking, potty breaks and house sitting. With that being said, I will leave the house cleaner than when I got there!

About: I have spent many years, cat and dog sitting for friends and family, and I am looking to start reaching out to others in the community. In addition to owning a pet of my own, I am a veterinary student and veterinary nurse. I have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I also have experience volunteering at an animal shelter where I would socialize with cats and walk dogs. With my job I am first aid, CPR certified, as well as fear free and cat friendly certified. This approach helps animals have stress-free experiences. I am comfortable with pets of all ages: puppies/kittens, elder pets etc. I am also comfortable medicating and understanding dietary needs Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine by finding time to walk/take care prior to my classes at school, during lunch, after school, or on my days off. In addition to walking, socializing and enrichment time are important as well. I am a student so my hours and availability may fluctuate on a weekly basis. When able, I plan to dog sit or cat sit as needed. This can include feeding, walking, entertaining, and overall watching pets as needed in the comfort of their own home. I am a student so my availability may fluctuate.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since before middle school. Everyday after school growing up I’d take care of our foster animal, giving them attention, feeding/water, CLEANING (so much!), administering medication like pills or injections like insulin are things I am more than comfortable with. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and kennel so I am experienced with working with various dog breeds and understand the needs of every dog is different, but nonetheless must be met! I am currently available at anytime during any day of the week! My schedule does not interfere with the needs of your pet and I can accommodate to you. I treat clients home as if it were my own. Leaving it as it was, caring for the pet and keeping the environment clean and homey!
