Dog Walking Hancock

About: Animals have been the touchstone of my life. I grew up taking care of animals and I prioritize each pet’s needs. I understand that each pet is different and will provide excellent care to your pets as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs at all life stages, and can administer medications confidently. Whether your dog loves to snuggle, play with toys, run around outside, or keep their distance, I can meet them where they’re at with patience and respect. I will provide photo and text updates for you, follow care instructions precisely, and be available for any questions you may have. The times listed are when I’m not working and fully available to take care of your pets! For drop in visits, I make sure I can spend at least an hour at your home and won’t be rushed. At my home, your pet will be with my two dogs and two cats, all of whom are friendly. There are plenty of dog beds, toys, and places to get cozy. We have a large, unfenced backyard, where your pup can play, supervised by me. We often let the dogs out at night leashed to ensure they stay close. I love to take the dogs for walks at the lake nearby or rail trail. I will be home with them all day.

About: I am the son of a former vet tech and zookeeper. For as long as I can remember caring for animals of all kinds has been an ingrained mindset and part of my life. I have many years of sitting, fostering, and adopting animals of various species, age, temperament, and medical needs. I pride myself of showing up for my clients and their pets needs and understand the anxieties inherent in watching your home and invaluable pets wellbeing. I work part time with a relatively flexible schedule. If booked, I understand the importance of enrichment and varying levels of time and attentiveness needed. Pets are all unique and I prioritize meeting my client's needs for their pets. Understanding the importance of trust in any pet sitting work is not something I take lightly. Your home and pets wellbeing are my top priority. I am happy to meet client's request for updates with photos and and info to ease any worries.

About: I waitress, have taken care of seniors and am a certified yoga instructor. I have had cats, dogs, chicks, fish, hamsters. I currently do not own any pets. Pets to me are precious friends who are to be taken care of like children. With full attention, support and love. I work from home so I am able to provide that kind of care. I work from home (virtually) and can accommodate boarding weekdays and weekends. I keep a clean and tidy home and have a gorgeous park very close by. Pet care fits in my routine as I used to have a cat until recently. I care for pets with respect and integrity. Showing them love and care. Keeping them and the area around them clean. Accommodating to their needs by always keeping an eye for out for them.

About: Animals kept me safe my entire life, now I return the favor by keeping your babies safe while you’re away. ❤️ I have been working with animals my whole life. At only 3 I moved in with my step father onto a small farm(yes this means I can feed your chickens, gather your eggs, clean your stalls, and feed your cattle, pigs, or even horses). I spent three years working in the veterinary field where I learned to better understand and triage animal emergency and how to deal with them calmly and safely. I have 3 dogs, and 2 cats of my own as well as a bearded dragon and a few chickens, whom I love more than life. I have minimal boarding experience, but have had or worked with everything from fish and birds, to dogs to cattle, from snakes to horses, and I love each one of these creatures just as much as the rest. I adore all animals, and cherish my pets so much, and finding some one you can trust to REALLY care for them can be a challenge, so let me make your life a little easier with flexible, reliable, patient and gentle care. As a pet mom to 11 furry, scaly, and feathered babies, I know how hard it can be to find reliable pet care. My animals are my children, my babies; the most important things in my world. I promise to love yours the way I’d love my own. I am currently unemployed and taking a leap. What I’d LOVE is to start my own pet care company. I know how hard it is to find pet care in and around the Berkshires, especially the holidays when all the day cares and well known sitters are booked - so let me take some of that weight off you. I’m flexible and reliable and can do drops ins, walks, day stays, over nights, or multiple day stays. I’m open to any animal type, including pocket pets, exotics and special needs. What can I say? Pets are really the only thing most of us like in this crazy world; so it’s kind of the perfect job. 😉 I am open to all types of care, all types of animals, and all types of situations. I have experience in vet medicine and have had elderly and special needs animals my whole life. No matter how long my interaction with your baby is, I assure you it will be filled with love.

About: I have my own dog walking/Pet Sitter business called “Canine in motion” On facebook and instagram. I’m super excited to have new clients reach out to me that need a dog walker/pet sitter. I’ve worked at an animal shelter, a doggy day care and I also used to volunteer at a nearby animal shelter to help walk dogs. Through those experiences i’ve learned so much about different dog breeds and other small animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I’m available for pet sitting/dog walking Monday-Friday. My weekends are also free. Why should I look after your dog while you're on vacation or unable to look after them? I give genuine love and passion to dogs. I understand their needs, both physical and emotional, and i’m dedicated to providing them with the utmost care and attention. My patience and attentiveness allow me to anticipate their needs and respond accordingly, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I have a keen eye for detail, noticing subtle cues and behaviors that may indicate their mood or health. I’m responsible, I follow instructions diligently, whether it's regarding feeding, exercise, or medication. My calm and nurturing presence creates a safe and secure environment, allowing dogs to feel at ease in my care. With me, dogs will find a trustworthy and compassionate companion, someone who will go above and beyond to ensure their happiness and safety.

“Net did a fantastic job with our dog’s first Rover experience and we were happy to get the photos, update and report cards - assurance our dog was being treated great while we were away. We will be booking with Net again!”

“This was my first experience entrusting my puppy with a dog walker, and Lydia exceeded my expectations. She’s very communicative, open to my requests, and took great care of my little girl. Lydia also takes the cutest pictures! I’d recommend her, and I’ll be a repeat client for sure.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve owned multiple dogs & cats that are sadly no longer with me. I love the joy going for a run or walk can bring them. Bathing your furry friend is never an issue. I do have a cat named Zelda who loves animals but she’s the only one I have now. Offering boarding services for holiday times coming up! I work part time and go to school full time as well as being a mother to my daughter. We can always talk about what works best for us both & your furry friend(s). I do have an open backyard but I do have extra long tie outs so they will be able to run. I have no problem taking them to a local dog park or a walk around the neighborhood. If you’re going on vacation & your furry friend can’t come, we can easily discuss what works best for scheduling.
