Dog Walkers in Hatfield, MA

About: I have loved dogs since I can remember—I used to read dog encyclopedias as a kid! My own dog and sidekick, Miguel, is a cute rescue with a pronounced underbite. He lives with my family far away, so I am excited to provide services (walking, dog sitting) for pets nearby! Over the summer, I am working remotely and thus have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am never away from home for more than two hours at a time. All dogs who have stayed at my apartment have been treated as my own; no couch or bed is off limits! 3+ walks a day, and a dog park nearby!

“Ash was so nice and dealt with quite a few logistical changes in walk coordination. Prudence was so grateful for the walks. Thanks again Ash!”

“Tanya consistently provides professional care for Chewy (my dog) and I look forward to scheduling her on a more routine basis. Keep up the amazing work!”

“Lovely, courteous, complimentary to our pup (who doesn't love a dogsitter that identifies and praises all our dog's best features?!?), and a really good sport hanging out with Calcifer on a muggy, hot, tick-filled day. Thanks!”

About: Calm, experienced animal care provider in Northampton with years of hands-on experience around animals and therapeutic riding programs. I’ve raised and trained my own four dogs from 8 weeks old, including Canine Good Citizen-level training, and have safely handled dogs in therapeutic environments. I offer dependable, thoughtful care focused on safety, routine, communication, and helping pets feel secure. I currently offer pet sitting on a selective basis so I can provide focused, dependable care and maintain consistent routines for each pet. I require a meet and greet initial assessment for you to meet me and for me to assess your dog. Best fit will be with dogs who enjoy the company of my dog Coco (a Shih Tzu Dauchshund mix) but evening visits, weekends, vacation coverage, and overnight care are fine for dogs that perfer human company. I keep my service area manageable to ensure reliable communication, punctual visits, and attentive care for every animal. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and household preferences, and I communicate reliably with updates and photos.

About: I have Joyfully shared my entire life with pets for almost 70 years now!! I speak Fluent Feline and Canine and have been a pet parent to dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, turtles and fish as a child and provided daycare for birds. I am also a Certified Level ll Reiki Energy Practitioner. My services include Housesitting, Drop-ins and both dog and cat walking! My beloved Josie used to love going outside on a harness and leash since she and brother Shadow were feral-born barn kitties and then “indoor only” rescue pets for 15+ years! My “Platinum Spa” Services include pet massage and Reiki sessions for an additional fee for Housesitting and Drop In clients. My Passion to care for other people’s pets as a new career/business stems from the tragic loss of both my feline companions at the end of 2024. I have decided to no longer own pets myself and to get my “Pet Love Fixes” by Pampering My Client’s pets as if they were my own!! I have maximum flexibility with scheduling 24/7 for all services in the 5 Colleges Area of Western MA. I am also available to travel outside my local area to provide pet, plant and housesitting services upon request. I provide a full menu of services at client’s homes including multiple walks daily on leash, outings to local dog parks and hiking trails, specialized diets and medications, senior and disabled pet care, active playtime, basic training reinforcement, photos and text updates on how your pet is doing with each visit. My exclusive pet massage and Reiki treatments can enhance your pet’s health and happiness under my care!!

“Anna is super sweet and very communicative! She helped out walking my dog very last minute which I so appreciate. Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future :)”

About: I have had dogs and cats as part of my family all my life. I have taken care of puppies and kittens to seniors and every step in between of my own and friends and family. My job is based on volume and is generally 6 to 8 hour day. I work 5 minutes from my house and at anytime if needed I would be able to run home for a potty or medication break My dogs are my world. I provide the up most safety standards for all of the furry paws that come into my life. I believe in treating everyone pets in a manner that I would expect mine to be. I have gone above and beyond to provide a secure fenced in yard. I also have a gate between the living area of my house and the front door to keep dogs from running out.

About: I’ve spent over a decade working with animals, starting in Birmingham, Alabama, where I rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed dogs through a bully breed rescue. I’ve also rescued and socialized cats and kittens, rehoming entire families. I currently have an active profile with Trusted House Sitters that has several five star reviews. After moving to New England, I worked at a cat hospice and later as a veterinary assistant at an emergency hospital. I’ve always had animals since I was a kid—especially cats—and I’ve also cared for reptiles, small pets like hamsters, and even fish. I’ve lived in many homes over the years and have often housesat for friends and family, so I’m comfortable caring for both pets and the spaces they love. I even have experience as a house cleaner and organizer and believe in leaving spaces better than I found them. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work part-time as a cheer coach a couple of times a week and occasionally help with our family business, but my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to be available most days for quality time, pet visits, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure animals get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. 🐾 Caring for animals is truly a passion of mine, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I believe every walk, play session, or visit should be a highlight of their day, and I make sure to give them plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their owners are away.

“Abigail took such great care of my pup Norma!! I reached out to her for a last minute care need. She responded very promptly and even made extra time in her schedule to squeeze in a meet and greet before walking and feeding Norma later that day. Abigail was very thorough in both asking questions about Norma’s needs and following through with all that we discussed. Norma is also a nervous, hyperactive pup and Abigail did a great job building rapport with her. She is very responsible and takes her job seriously. I will definitely be reaching out to Abigail again in the future—highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve grown up caring for and loving animals my entire life! Taking care of animals comes naturally to me, I love walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and believe it or not cleaning up after them! While I don’t have any professional experience yet, my personal experience makes me qualified to deal with any challenges as I’ve been trusted in the past! Pet care fits into my daily life with me having to take care of my pets! I have two dogs, one is a german shepherd, the other is a Chiweenie. I love taking care of them and taking them for nice long walks! I care for my pets as well as my clients pets as I show them respect and I show them how much I care about their needs. I care for my own pets by feeding them, cleaning up after them, walking them, and if needed washing them. I would show these same principles to my clients dogs and animals as well

About: I was blessed with a feline friend at the age of 2. Although I do not remember all of our times together, she has been by my side through all of life's up's and down's. We have even experienced the responsibility of sharing our home with 2 more companions: a Maltese and a Chihuahua! It is quite a random pool of different beings! Nevertheless, we all seem to get along. I do all I can to ensure their well being is top notch. You really grow a love for your companion(s) and it's hard to not care for them. I am full time and have no restrictions to my schedule. I am available as early as 6:00am and can accommodate appointments during sundown. I am easy to communicate with and straightforward with negotiations. It is a dogs fantasy: a large neighborhood with quiet streets to explore, 2 nearby parks to frolic and play, with a dog park frequently visited by other furry friends and their owners.

About: I grew up having dogs and cats and taking care of them. Now that I don’t have any pets of my own, I’d love to care for someone else’s! I have dog sat for all kinds of dogs and always enjoyed the time spent with them. I currently work as a full time teacher, so I have time for pet care in the evenings most days of the week and even weekends. I care for pets by trying to understand what they need and giving them lots of love and attention. I am also fit enough to lift a dog if needed.

About: I’ve lived with both cats and dogs since i was a little kid. I think the most special bonds exist between humans and animals and there is nothing more rewarding than being able to spend time with a happy dog or kitty. I’ve watched both a tiny pug and a huge newfoundland, as well as cats of many different personalities, so i would consider myself pretty qualified for both animals! I currently live with a wonderful cat named Goose and I would love to watch your furry friends! I am a full time student as well as a couple of part time jobs, but I can always fit time in during the week whether it’s a simple walk or more extensive care. I’m also pretty open in the evenings! I can adapt to your pet routine easily, as long as provided with instructions. I think pets deserve lots of love and attention as well as exercise and I’m more than happy to provide that!

“Mr. Sampson absolutely loves his walks with Jacklyn. He’s slightly dog reactive, and Jacklyn handles him just fine! She fills his water bowl when it’s empty, send pictures, and often gives a quick summary of how the walk went. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Andy is great! My little dog was comfortable & happy walking with Andy from the moment he picked up her leash. After their walk my dog watched him , wagging her tail, relaxed & happy. Thanks so much Andy! Looking forward to our next walk.”

About: I have lived with and taken care of at least two dogs of various sizes my entire life. Over the past few years I have dog sat and dog walked the pets of family/friends. Some of which had special accommodations such as meds or a strict schedule which was no problem at all! I love spending time with animals so let me bring my care and love to your pets to make your life easier! I am a recent college graduate looking for a full time job at the moment. Until I find that position, my schedule is as open as it needs to be to take good care of any pets. For my own pets, I share responsibility of all the basic needs of a pet; feeding, walking, giving attention, letting them out for the bathroom, etc.. For the pets of my client I provide all of those necessary services myself. I can dedicate any needed time and effort to ensure that the pet stays safe, healthy and active.

About: I am a true dog lover who would be overjoyed to help care for your dog(s). My dog, Parker (65-pound mixed breed), is my whole world and I will treat your pet just like they are my own. Thank you for considering me to help care for your pet(s)! I have used Rover in the past to find care for Parker and deeply understand the importance of finding someone you trust. My availability to help care for your pet(s) is very flexible - let’s connect & come up with a plan that works for both of us! I ensure we are on the same page about how best to keep your pup(s) safe and happy by beginning each dog walking relationship with a brief meet and greet.
