Dog Walking Groton

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’ve been around animals of all types my whole life, from cats and dogs to birds and horses, young and old. I love all kinds of pets and I’m always learning how to better care for them. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available almost anytime on weekdays, and available weekends after 5 PM. I’m a naturally extremely careful person, and will treat your home with the upmost care and respect. By hiring me you are trusting me with your home and pets, and I won’t let that trust be misplaced

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.

“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.”

“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.”

Meredith S.

“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 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: My journey with animals did not start as a job. It began when I was 10 years old and welcomed my first cat into my life. Since then, animals have always been part of my world. I also grew up with a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years and taught me what patient, devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Over the years, I have gained hands-on pet-sitting experience with many different animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to Maine Coons, playful kittens, and small companion dogs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I live with my husband in a two-floor apartment with hardwood floors and no carpets. I am happy to lift and carry pets on the stairs when needed, as long as they are comfortable being picked up. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated with patience, attention, and care, just like part of the family. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give all the needed attention to your pet throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live with my husband in a two-floor condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful of safety and always keep dogs secure when they're outside. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play.

About: Growing up I started pet sitting long and house sitting long before there were smartphones and apps for it! Once I was old enough, I became a vet tech, then switched careers to dog handler doing training and working with dogs at a daycare as a floor manager. In addition to being a mom, I am now a caregiver to my father. He is a 77 year old disabled Air Force veteran. I am blessed to have the opportunity! However, it also prevents me from adopting a dog of my own since my guy Benj passed away in 2023 at nearly 18 years old. My loss is your gain though, because all that love and experience is looking for another outlet! I’m incredibly flexible. I will try to accommodate with whatever you need! My regular job has mostly a flexible schedule so I can usually make things happen! I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care as I will your family! I am always willing to listen to suggestions too! I am not easily offended, so if you have any preferences in how you would like me to do something, please feel free to let me know!

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 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.

About: I genuinely treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, attentive, active and understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I am especially comfortable with larger dogs and strong pullers, since I have hands on experience with my own large dog. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone else. I will make sure the owner feels reassured with as many pictures, and check-ins as you desire! Whether your dog loves long walks, or a short neighborhood stroll, cuddle time, playtime, or just a safe environment. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you are away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already have an active lifestyle and spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I work four days a week as an hairdresser and am fully available Saturdays after 4, all day Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays for walks, drop ins, daycare, or boarding. Boarding availability would be Saturday afternoon-Monday nights! I love being outdoors and spending time with animals any chance I get, so pet care feels like something I look forward to, not a job. When caring for other pets in my home I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment where they feel part of the family. I have a large dog who loves the company of other dogs and helps create a fun active atmosphere for pets that enjoy social interaction.

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.
