Dog Walking Hollis

About: I work full-time from home in Amherst, meaning your dog will never be left alone or crated for long stretches. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where guest dogs can run safely alongside my friendly 35 lb Rat Terrier/Beagle mix, Wally! Because I only host ONE client family at a time, your pet gets 100% of my attention, unlimited bathroom breaks, and constant supervision throughout the day. Whether it's lounging next to my desk or playing fetch in the yard, your dog will feel right at home. I work full-time from home, which means pet care seamlessly integrates into my day. Your dog won't be left alone or crated for hours while you're away. I take regular breaks throughout the day for yard play, potty breaks, and walks. Because I only take one client family at a time, your dog receives constant company alongside my friendly mix, Wally. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. Inside, furniture privileges are welcome if that's what your pup is used to at home! Whether your dog is crate-trained or prefers lounging on a dog bed, I adapt to their normal routine. Mandatory meet-and-greets ensure everyone gets along before booking.

“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.”

About: Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’ve lived my entire life. From hermit crabs and guinea pigs to dogs, cats, and even farm animals through veterinary science programs, I’ve cared for animals of all sizes, personalities, and needs. What truly sets me apart is that I respect animals for who they are. I understand body language, boundaries, and temperament — especially with cats, who require patience and trust. I don’t force interaction. I don’t rush visits. I create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels understood. Your pets aren’t just appointments on my schedule — they’re individuals, and I treat them like family. I currently work full time as a dental assistant at a small, local office. I am typically available evenings starting at 5:00pm, and free all day Friday- Sunday! My cats are truly my babies, and their happiness and safety shape how I care for every pet. We recently moved into a large townhouse specifically so they would have more space to explore — three full floors to run, climb, and play. Creating an enriching environment for them was important to me, because I believe cats thrive when they have room to move and feel stimulated. They even have their own dedicated cat room (yes — the spare bedroom belongs to them). It’s filled with endless toys, cozy spots, scratchers, and safe hiding places where they can relax or play whenever they want. Out back, they have access to a secure, fenced-in area on our private patio within an additional fenced yard — giving them safe outdoor enrichment while staying fully protected. I believe cats deserve more than just basic care — they deserve intentional space, enrichment, safety, and love. That’s the same level of thought and attention I bring to every cat I care for.

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me

About: I have been a lover and caretaker for animals since I was young. I foster puppy’s often and love it. Having the opportunity to train and prep them to find their forever homes is so special to me. From potty training, to obedience training and everything in between as a start to giving them their best lives! Through Fostering, I have learned how to connect with dogs on a different level. I would love to have the opportunity to walk, connect and take care of your animals as needed. I work part time and I have plenty of time to do drop ins or take your pups on a nice walk. Around the neighborhood or a few miles in the woods. What ever matches their energy. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, keeping them safe and loved while they are in my care. ❤️ ❤️

About: I have two cats of my own. A 10 y/o sweetest little girl Tabby and a 5 y/o Maine coone. I have experience with administering inhaler, pills, liquid medicine, and syringe feeding due to my girl cat having multitude of health issues. I am also expert in giving cats bath & nail trimming. I genuinely love animals to my core, which is why in my free time, I rescue cats & volunteer in shelters I work fully remote so can be available anytime and with short notice. I also drive so getting to places will not be a problem at all. As a pet owner myself, I understand the stresses and worries that comes with when people are away from their pets. To earn trust, during the first interaction I like to sit on the floor and let the pet come to me. They can sniff me, cuddle up on my lap or just stare at me if they want. By sitting on the floor, I get to their eye level which makes me less intimidating as a new object in their environment. After I gain the pet’s trust, I make sure to send pics and videos during each visit. I also have no issues if the owners want to set up camera to monitor my activities and interactions with their pets.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own. Each of them are rescues and are very different breeds. Learning all their personalities was a challenge but love to see them all thrive and love each-other and get along super well. I am a a stay at home mom of a 2 year old boy and some days he would need to come with me on our walks . He loves our dogs soo much and has been such a great help with them! Our days are very open and would love to help care for your pets ! If a pet is not child friendly I can do my best to make accommodations to ensure the pets best interests. I give all pets the love and care that is needed. I will also be very respectful of their space and let them get comfortable with me first. I have a nice calm demeanor to let the pets know I am a safe person.

“Brittany is fantastic... Great communication and she alleviates my stress tremendously by making my pup happy. Will definitely be continuing to use her for dog walking!!”

About: I have grown up around dogs and have one of my own. I work with dogs on a daily basis and have found that I enjoy being around all dogs and finding out their quirks. What they like, what they don't like, and how to have fun with them. I also do love cats as my household had no less than 3 when I was growing up. They can be absolute sweethearts or absolute chaos, but we all love them regardless. I can accommodate what I need to. I work 2 jobs but both are based around my preference. I am able to figure out what I need to in order to proper care for pets. I truly wish for animals to stay comfortable around me so I always try to build trust before doing anything with a dog or cat I do not know. I prefer it when I can get their true personality to shine and they feel comfortable around me.

“Polite. On time. Dogs liked her and behaved well for her on the walk.”

About: Hi there! I've grown up surrounded by animals, dogs, cats, even chinchillas! Helping my parents care for and train our dogs was one of my favorite parts of childhood, and that love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. I have a fur baby of my own, Lola who is not just my dog, but my best friend and most loyal companion. She loves her long morning walks and getting lost with me on hiking trails, but I think her favorite thing might just be snuggling on the couch. I rescued Lola from a shelter, and that experience inspired me to start volunteering with a nonprofit pit bull rescue. We're passionate about giving dogs in need a second chance and helping to change the negative stereotypes around pit bulls. Meeting new furry friends always brings me joy, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care is truly a part of my everyday life! My own dog, Lola, keeps me on a consistent routine. We start every morning with a walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some cuddle time before I head to work. On my days off, I love taking her to new parks, hiking trails, or to families houses for some playtime with cousins. Pet care doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with furry friends, I naturally work pet care into my routine because animals have always been such a big part of my life. Caring for other pets while their families are away is just an extension of what I already do, and love doing every day! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in yours, my priority is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that sticks as closely as possible to your pet's normal routine. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar setting. I’ll follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and potty routines to playtime and bedtime rituals. I always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping your home clean and respected. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or handle other light household tasks as needed! In My Home: If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated just like family! I have a dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots for naps, space to play, and a calm, safe atmosphere. My pup Lola is very well-socialized and gentle with other dogs. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and has their own space to eat, relax, and rest. I’ll also keep up with their usual schedule, dietary needs, medications, and, of course, give lots of love and attention! No matter where the care takes place, communication is key—I’ll always keep you updated with photos, notes, and check-ins so you can feel confident and relaxed while you're away.

“We love Colin! He takes such amazing care of my puppy Vincent and my dad said he is always so impressed at how patient and kind he is even when the puppy attitude comes out. Thank you Colin!”

About: Hello! I’m Cassidy, a dependable caregiver with hands‑on experience across a wide range of animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, cows, fish, and donkeys, and I’ve provided care for pigs, goats, turkeys, and other farm animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, behavioral support, and caring for animals from newborns to seniors. My background in social work helps me stay calm, organized, and attentive — especially with pets who are anxious, reactive, or slow to warm up. I communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s wellbeing and safety are my top priorities, and I bring both experience and heart to every visit. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages, from newborn kittens and calves to senior dogs, horses, and farm animals. As a result, routines like feeding, walking, enrichment, and medication management are second nature to me. I’m consistent, organized, and attentive, and I build my schedule around providing reliable, steady care that helps animals feel secure. Safety is always my top priority. Having worked with a wide range of species- cats, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more- I’m comfortable reading body language, managing different temperaments, and adjusting my approach to each animal’s needs. I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow instructions closely, and take the time to build trust with shy, anxious, or slow-to-warm-up pets. You can expect clear communication, consistent updates, and a dependable presence.

“Nicole was great with Buster! You can tell she has a love for dogs. Great communication and she was great with him. He definitely had a good time getting out for some mid day adventures, we’re looking forward to working with her again!”

“Sam was great! Sam came over to meet Mulligan first, and took a walk with him. Sam took Mulligan for a long walk around the neighborhood and gave great updates! Looking forward to having Sam walk Mulligan again!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for a very long time and recently got into pet sitting! I’ve worked for quite a few families and have been pet sitting for over a year now. I dog walk as well and all the families I have worked for have loved me. I’ve taken care of mutiple animals at once with no trouble. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals with no issue! I am easy going and understanding and very energetic! I’m currently a college student and I love doing this as a part time job! I have plenty of good references and a very flexible schedule. I love working with animals and people and would be thrilled to help! Please consider me as a worthwhile candidate for your pet care position!

About: I’ll take care of your pets like they’re my own and provide only the best care for your animals. I’ll play with them and tire them out for you. I loss my job recently so I take my dog to the park and train with him in my free time. I train my cat with a few tricks. Obviously lots of snuggles for my animals I follow directions to the T and will provide proof of pets. I will constantly communicate with clients about their pet. I will constantly make sure your pet(s) get their needs met and more.

About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
