About: Finding someone you trust with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care every time. I’ve spent over 10 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings, including as a dog groomer, and at an animal hospital. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, while also recognizing when something doesn’t seem quite right. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers to stop and sniff every tree, or just needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and treated like one of my own. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours happiest. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and believe communication is just as important as great pet care. You can expect plenty of updates and photos from me! I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Since my classes are planned in advance, I can easily work around them to provide reliable walks and visits. I enjoy being active, so spending time with dogs fits naturally into my routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, an evening outing, or care while you’re at work, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your needs. Your dog’s safety will always be my top priority. With over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ll use safe leash-handling practices, stay aware of our surroundings, and always treat your dog with patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated after each walk, so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: With more than 15 years of hands-on experience in the canine industry, I bring far more than a love for dogs to every service I provide. I’m the owner and founder of The Canine Legacy LLC, a professional canine care and education business, as well as the founder and owner of Dog Moms of the South Shore, a community of over 5,000 local dog owners. I’ve invested thousands of dollars into my professional education, certifications and continuing development because I believe exceptional canine care begins with knowledge, experience and an understanding of each dog’s individual needs. My professional background includes formal education through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, Pet CPR and First Aid certification, and ongoing studies in canine behavior, training and nutrition. I’ve successfully completed my CATCH coursework and examinations and am currently completing the final hands-on mentorship requirements. I specialize in positive reinforcement-based training, canine body language, enrichment, socialization, confidence building, leash reactivity and individualized care. I’m experienced with dogs of various breeds, ages, temperaments and behavioral needs, including puppies, senior dogs and those requiring additional patience or specialized handling. Through The Canine Legacy, I provide professional dog walking, structured walks, enrichment sessions, drop-in visits, training, and individualized canine services. My business is registered and insured, and I’m committed to maintaining high standards of safety, professionalism and communication. I understand that trusting someone with your dog and access to your home is a significant decision. My goal is to provide dependable, knowledgeable and compassionate care while giving you complete confidence that your dog is in capable hands. Every dog deserves care tailored to their individual personality, needs and lifestyle. I look forward to getting to know yours! As the owner and operator of The Canine Legacy LLC, professional pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Unlike someone offering pet sitting as a side job, I’ve built my career around providing dependable, individualized care to pets and their families. I manage my own schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs, including regularly scheduled walks, drop-in visits, puppy care, enrichment sessions and occasional last-minute requests when availability permits. I understand the importance of consistency, particularly for pets who thrive on established routines. I work closely with each client to develop a schedule that accommodates their pet’s individual needs while prioritizing reliability, flexibility and quality care. Whether you need ongoing services or occasional assistance, I’m happy to discuss your needs and determine how I can best accommodate your pet and your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort and well-being are always my highest priorities. With over 15 years of professional experience, formal education in canine behavior and training, and Pet CPR and First Aid certification, I bring a knowledgeable, proactive approach to every visit. As the owner of a registered and insured pet care business, I take my responsibilities seriously and maintain high standards of professionalism, safety and communication. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their established routines. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, exercise requirements, medication directions and household preferences provided by each owner. I believe in positive reinforcement, enrichment and individualized care. I’m experienced in recognizing canine body language and adjusting my approach to accommodate different personalities, temperaments and behavioral needs. For cats, I prioritize respecting their boundaries, minimizing stress and allowing interactions to happen at their comfort level. I take additional precautions during walks, outdoor activities and home visits, including checking equipment, securing doors and gates, and remaining attentive to environmental hazards. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. I treat every client’s property with the utmost respect and provide consistent communication, updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and receiving exceptional care. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention and respect that I would expect for my own pets.

“Emily was wonderful with our Great Dane! She was prompt, kind and patient with her. She was very in tune with our pups needs during their walks, and was so mindful on the very hot days to take it slow or return for water when needed. Our pup is known to have some undesirable behavior on walks, and Emily came a few days early to meet her, learn her nuances and took notes so she was prepared to manage it. Looking forward to working with Emily again!”

About: Hi, I’m Amanda, and caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me it’s my passion. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in dog walking, grooming, and pet care, I’ve dedicated my life to making sure every pup I meet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I offer dog walking, grooming, day care out of my home and drop-in check-ins, tailored to fit your dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special care needs. I’m also experienced in administering medication and handling anxious or reactive dogs with patience and compassion. Whether it’s a quick walk, a fresh groom, or just some love and attention while you’re away, your dog will be treated like family with me. I truly love dogs with my whole heart, and it shows in everything I do.💕🐶🐾 I am currently doing dog grooming from out of my house so I am free really any time of the day during the week and same going with the weekend i update my calendar every week so it is always up to date ! My house is away from the road and not near a main road at all we have a fenced in backyard. I have 2 dogs of my own that will be separated from all dogs at all times and a whole back room int the house with big comfy dog crates if they were needed to be crated. If i were to come to your home and take care of pets I will always supervise and keep your pup company with toys provided!

About: Due to my current employment situation, I have lots of schedule flexibility to suit the needs of your animals. I have been caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes since I was young and have done it on a more regular basis over the past 8 years. I have grown up always having dogs and cats so I am extremely familiar with caring for animals. Even the most skeptical dogs quickly trust me for my loving nature. I am always prepared to pay full attention to any animals in my care and to respond to any challenging situations that may come up. I truly love animals and am very excited at the opportunity to help others with the care and support of their furry friends! Your pet’s day will look exactly like it does when you’re with them! I pride myself on helping dogs to keep their routines. I am happy to offer whatever enrichment activities we discuss for your pet such as car rides, dog parks, play dates etc but also understand these are not for every dog so will never do anything we didn’t explicitly clear. I am very adamant about understanding the ways you keep your pet safe at home. I am extremely cautious when coming and going. I keep an eye on all pets in yards, even when they don’t typically require this. In 15 years of dogsitting, I have only had one dog slip away from me and handled it quickly and safely.

About: With over nine years of experience in pet sitting, I have honed my ability to provide outstanding care for animals. I am committed to dedicating the necessary time and patience to any pet that requires additional attention and affection. As a former dog owner, I would be delighted to have the opportunity to care for your beloved furry companion. I have recently made the decision to transition into a career in Real Estate, and I now enjoy a flexible schedule. I am available during the mornings and late afternoons, with full availability on weekends. I offer an open-concept home with ample space for your pet to feel comfortable. Additionally, I have a large, fenced yard that provides plenty of room for your pet to run, play, and explore.

“Erin was great with Ryder! You can tell she has a passion for dogs and animals. She is very responsive and reliable. Can’t wait to use her again 😀”

About: I am the proud owner of Lilly. She is a sweet and fun loving Lab mix who loves to play and spend outdoor time with other pups. She is well trained and obeys many commands; especially when treats are involved😁. Lilly would love to go on local walks with your dog or spend dedicated blocks of time (play date) at our residence in East Bridgewater (fenced back yard and open land adjacent to property). Lilly would start with a meet and greet to get acquainted since the priority is your dog only for the walk or dedicated play date. Lilly likes to go on walks multiple times a day. She has been asking for play dates for several years😁. She is excited at the opportunity to meet your pup. Aside from short walks in your neighborhood, I have a fenced back yard and open land adjacent to our residence. These areas will be primary used for play dates with Lilly. The play dates are dedicated to your pet and no other dogs will be present during the date.

About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.

About: I started walking dogs as a first job when I was a kid! My family and I have always had dogs. Our most recent dog is an adopted mix, named Gogurt! I’m experienced caring for the pets of my family and friends. Looking forward to meeting your four legged friends! I am currently working PT, and have been with the same company for 30 years. I have flexibility on my off days, and can manage hours during the days/evenings. I am happy to meet your schedule needs when possible! At this time, I do not offer overnight services. In addition to walks and drop ins, I do home care during the day in clients’ homes.

“Amazing kind and caring dog walker. Shows up on time as well. I would recommend her to anyone. She took very good care of my french bulldog and my cat!”

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, I have experience with dogs, cats, and even experience with some exotic pets as well!! I currently own 2 guinea pigs of my own. I’m currently working a part time job however that doesn’t stop me from being able to provide for you and your pets! Feel free to reach out so I can give you my schedule. I know that everyone has different rules/regulations for how they want their pets handled in their home, so I’m always happy to take the time to meet with or speak to you about boundaries for you and your fur babies!

About: Fully insured for your peace of mind. Dog mom to my pup Zephyr. Over 25 years of hands on dog experience. Reliable dog lover treating every pup like family and every walk like an adventure. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog mom to my lab, Zephyr, my days are built around walks, exercise, and making sure he is happy and well cared for. I structure my schedule to provide consistent, reliable walks and visits, so each dog gets the attention, safety, and care they deserve. I do 3 walks a day, depending on your dogs needs and physical limitations. I also provide mental stimulation activities to balance out their energy.

Your pup will be very welcome in our pack!

About: I’ve enjoyed walking dogs since I was a child. I’ve taken care of many puppies and older dogs. I understand the special care that they require. I’m happy to take dogs in to our home as well as going to people’s homes to pet sit. I work most week days until 5. I am free to help with visits and walks at night. I am free on the weekends for taking in pets for overnights or going to your home to visit, walks, play and feeding pets. I have a section at my home that is fenced in or I walk dogs on the leash. I walk often and make sure to stick to schedules and feeding routines. I have so much love for animals and love nothing more than caring for them.

About: I’ve been surrounded by all kinds of animals my whole life, and I can’t help but fall in love with every one I meet. I look forward to helping you give them the care and attention they deserve! I am currently a student and working part time. My schedule is relatively flexible and I welcome this opportunity to have some company on my walks! I am primarily looking to walk dogs, which I have spent plenty of time doing having grown up with them my whole life and I am comfortable with a range of leash training levels.
