Dog Walking Groton

About: I've been dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting for over 10 years and have owned both dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have a 1 year old dog, so I have recent hands on experience with puppies, including training reinforcement, exercise needs, and maintaining routines. In addition to my pet care experience, I work in healthcare, where attention to detail, reliability, communication, and compassion are essential every day. I bring those same qualities to caring for pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, overnight care, medication administration, or simply companionship while you're away, I will treat them as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and strive to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for every pet I meet. I am looking for part time opportunities. I am a recently graduated healthcare professional looking for flexible pet care opportunities prior to my full time job. I ensure pets are kept safe. Making sure they are fed and cared for properly. I think walking dogs and interactive play time is important.

About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.

About: I have owned a cat and a dog. I watch or check in on my friends' and family's pets when they are away from vacation. I WFH fairly regularly so check-ins are really easy. House sitting is doable, but would need to coordinate times as i have some activities with my kid. Animals are all about routine and I don't like to rock the boat. However you take care of your pets is how i want to provide for them.

“Sheylah has been great with both of our dogs! She is proactive in her communication, and our dogs have a blast on their walks. We would highly recommend Sheylah to anyone seeking a caring and responsible dog walker!”

About: I’ve been a dog walker for 2 years. Each dog gets all the lovings and attention from me every time! I do drop in visits to feed a meal and just let them out, or I’ll take them on 15-30 minutes walks (weather/temp dependent). Dog walking is my current job, I’m just looking to fill my schedule a little more. I typically start around 10am and the last dog gets walked around 3pm so anywhere in that time frame works for me! I have worked with dog aggressive dogs by using an E-collar so I’m knowledgeable on how to use those correctly. I am comfortable putting dogs into their crate if needed as well.

About: I've had numerous variety of pets my whole life, Worked in pet retail for a time, and genuinely feel I understand animals more than people sometimes. Currently I'm between more traditional 9-5 employment, so I have the time and space to give the care needed for the little (or big) ones. I am open to discussing the individual needs of every client, but the basics of walking, feeding, just plain old attention are well within my capacity. Happy to help facilitate any training that is being done as well.

About: Soaking up all the kitty loving I can after a lifetime of not being allowed to have pets at home. I will care for your fur babies as my own and give them all the loving while you're away. I am currently a stay at home mom looking for things to do outside of the home while the kids are at school. I will love on your fur babies any time you need! We have one cat in our home that is friendly and curious about new furry friends and people too! She is out going and will take loving from anyone.

About: Not only can I walk your dog, check in on your dog, provide special care for special needs animals but I’m also able to do basic training with dogs. I love them and care for them like they’re my own. Because for that short bit they’re apart of my pack. I know they’re an extra special family member and they’ll miss you as much as you’ll miss them while you’re away so I’ll provide extra love and care they need until you get back. If you need more information about my services please feel free to contact me. I’ll happily do a test round with your pet to see if we get along. Thank you for the consideration and I hope you contact me very soon. I work from home so I'm available most of the day to care for your pet as my hours are flexible. If you have any questions please reach out My dogs have a large fenced in yard to romp around in and actively train 1 hour a day. They're fed on a schedule with a diet made just for them.

About: We are a trio (Riven, Matt, Jason) that have mostly work from home schedules. We have individual Rover verified profiles, and this one is Rivens. I have lived with cats, dogs, and animals of all sorts my whole life. After growing up on a farm and being a founding member of the local 4H Club, my love for animals continued to fostering through rescues, volunteering, and my own pets such as my now passed 17 year cat named Moya, whom I had had since she was a few months old. We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed. For boarding, my Matt and Jason (also on Rover) and myself are home 95% of the day and can usually accommodate most pick up or drop off time, frequent potty breaks, and walks. For drop in visits we are avaliable to work in the Shirely and immediately surounding area. We have some flexibility with the schedule that we can work out if you're interested! We offer lots of human and other dog socialization in our home. We have people and dogs visitors in home as well as on walks to parks and rivers.

About: Lifetime of experience caring for my own dogs & cats. Experienced sitter caring for up to 3 dogs at a time. Experienced with many different breeds & dogs of all sizes. I am currently in grad school taking classes Monday & Wednesdays with limited availability for those days. I can offer drop in visits or walks 3-5 those days. Overnight care is no issue for my schedule. I take safety very seriously. I will care for your pet & home as though it is my own! Safety is always my top priority as our pets are like our children!

About: I have been taking care of pets for friends and family for the last 5 years and it’s always been a welcome opportunity as I was never allowed to have pets growing up. I love nature so long dog walks are never boring. I also have experience petsitting so I’ll make sure your pet is never lonely. I am able to stay with your pet all day and on weekends as well. The longest I would be out is 4 hours, but that would be very intermittent. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and I want the pet to be as comfortable as possible. If the pet makes a mess I will be sure to clean it as soon as possible and the return the place to how it looked before if not cleaner.

“Grayce was great. You can tell she really loves dogs. Murphy seemed comfortable with her right away. We will continue to use her for our walks.”

“Bonnie did a great job introducing our new puppy to the neighborhood. She fed, watered, and walked him each day, right on time. I love the pics! They helped put this new fur mama's mind at ease. We look forward to the next vacation week to hire Bonnie again.”
