Dog Walking Holyoke

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to Raven (7 female dog), and Miles (8 female cat) I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I would love to provide them with the same love and attention I give my own! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air and exercise. My home is used to being around both animals and kids. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs company, playtime, walks, or just a comfortable and caring place to stay, I will treat them like part of the family!

About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have certain days where I can stay put at your home -- saturdays, part of sundays, mondays, and Tuesdays. The rest of the week, I work in chunks of the day, but have long days on Thursdays and Fridays. I prefer to spend every minute I possibly can with your pet though :) I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

About: Hello! I love all animals, and grew up specifically around cats and dogs. I’ve had two labs, a bichon frise, two golden australian shepherd mixes, and two cats. I’ve done overnight pet sitting, walking, and drop ins regularly since 2019. I am comfortable giving medication if needed, taking lots of walks and playing, and feeding. I want to accommodate your needs, nothing is too overboard when it comes to the ones you love! I’ve worked with everyone from Great Pyrenees to the little guys. I’m here to help you and I want to be as flexible as possible! I’m a Senior at Mount Holyoke College and available throughout the week, I’m flexible working around my class times and have a car on campus. I am away some weekends, typically Friday through Saturday, but no time away is set and stone, and I am here for you! I can be there bright and early or as late as you need as well. I am currently not able to host any pets at my home because I am dorming. However, I’ll treat your home as my own, and I am totally comfortable with cleaning any type of animal mess or even changing doggy diapers. I want you to feel at ease when you are away. I can always send updates and pictures, and I am very willing and flexible to meet all your needs.

“Wonderful reliable sitter very saavy about dogs! Will use her again.”

About: It’s so hard to be away from your pup but having friends come in to visit and play makes the day feel not so long. I have had dogs my whole life. I just love their individual personalities. I typically work Monday through Friday and can pop in for an early morning visit and breakfast or stop by for a longer visit and dinner after work. My schedule is flexible so running over midway is possible if necessary. Weekends are generally wide open. I would like to work with you to meet your needs. I have 2 pups and 3 cats at home that love extra attention, playing and quiet snuggles. Nice long walks or a trip to the dog park could be a fun adventure. For cats, some scratches along the jaw line or kitty fishing can be an engaging way to interact.

About: With years of dedicated Petcare experience, I have developed a profound understanding and love for our beloved furry companions. From cuddles to walks, feeding to playtime, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care. I am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. Whether it's administering medication, adhering to dietary needs, or simply showering them with affection, I go above and beyond to ensure that each pet receives personalized attention and care. Trust me to be your pet's second best friend, offering reliable and compassionate Petcare services that will leave tails wagging and hearts content. I recently Took time off from work so I have open availability to take care of your furry family! Long walks, drop ins or even sitting for the day. In both my home and my client's home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of pets under my care. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease. I ensure they have access to clean water, nutritious food, and a cozy sleeping area. Regular exercise and playtime are incorporated into their daily routine to keep them active and engaged. Whether it's administering medication or following specific dietary requirements, I pay close attention to each pet's unique needs.

About: My first responsibility I had as a 4 year old was feeding our family dog, Shannon. Since then, I not only helped feed, walk and care for my own pets, but have helped others as well. Whether it was classroom fish, or boisterous double-dog walks, I always love making a pet's day brighter. I take pets' well-being seriously and like to do all I can to make your pet feel at home and worry-free in your absence. During the school year, I have limited availability during evenings and weekends. During the summer and school vacations, I am available weekdays, weeknights, and on most weekends. I offer drop-ins for cats, dogs, bunnies, and other small animals. I also offer dog walking. I am an avid athlete so I am happy to take on energized dogs who like long walks. I have experience administering oral medication and injections.

“Isabel was great - very communicative and responded quickly to all my messages. I will definitely reach out to her again when we need someone to walk our energetic dog!”

About: I have taken care of and had pets my whole life. I’ve had small animals to large. I have 14 pets of my own at the moment from hermit crabs, a bird, bearded dragon, guinea pigs, cats and 3 dogs. I love animals. I currently own my own business so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to take care of your fur baby, so timing of day will never be an issue! I will watch your pets at all time so they don’t get into mischief. I as a pet owner know they can try to run off or eat something they can’t so constant supervision is a must.

About: I've worked at dog kennels and taking care of dogs. Growing up my whole life I've owned and thoroughly enjoy working with them. I have trained and owned primarily larger breeds and work dogs I can offer pet care between the hours of 8:00 and 3:00 on the weekdays with more flexibility on the weekends, any other time would need to be negotiated ahead of time to fit my schedule. I would want to know ahead of time any specific accommodations for your dog including any major concerns you have. I would like to know what routines you use for walking, boarding and letting out. I'm happy to work within your dog's perimeters to keep them happy and safe

About: I’ve had cats and dogs and I’ve taken care of them and loved them for forever. I’ve recently adopted two kittens and I love to play with them. I’m a student right now with a flexible schedule so I could check in on pets on pretty much every day and throughout the day. I have energy to play with young cats or dogs and can fulfill all their needs. My services will change depending on the pets personality and what they’re needs are.

About: I believe in treating animals humanely and as we would want to be treated. Dogs get the same affect from exercising outdoors as humans do, maybe even more. So why not give them what is good for them? I know you love your pets as a family member and would do anything to keep them healthy and happy however, I understand life just gets in the way sometimes. Allow me to be there to take care of them and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s taking your pup on a wellness walk in the outdoors, playing laser tag with Mr. Meowgi, or keeping your house pets company by staying the night, no request is too big or small to keep your floofs happy. I am just as flexible with taking care of any animal (take a peek at some of my pics) as I am with what I charge. Please do not hesitate to reach out. And always remember, A happy pooch is a happy parent! I am patient, understanding and love all animals. I work full time as a waitress in the evenings and attend online college during the day. I have availability most days and can be flexible (: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I currently live with 2 dogs and a parakeet. I have cared for pets with anxiety, senior animals, farm animals and baby animals.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, from growing up with a Labrador to caring for my own pets. With five years working in a grooming salon, I’m experienced in meeting the needs of all dogs, such as playful puppies, adult dogs, and seniors alike. I’m passionate about providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s personality and health. I’m currently a part-time PetSmart employee and a college student, which means I have weekday afternoons available for pet care. Weekends aren’t always ideal, but I’m happy to discuss arrangements and see what’s possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs; whether it’s helping a puppy burn off energy, giving extra patience to a shy dog, or offering gentle care for seniors. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of dogs and homes since I was in grade school, and so have 14 years of pet- and house-sitting experience. You can rely on me for numerous daily walks, active play dates, timely medicine provision, prescribed feedings, and even teeth cleaning. I’ve been a proud dog-owner since birth and currently have a sweet and goofy rescue fur baby (Armando). Rover is my only obligation as of now, as I don’t currently work. I’m an early riser as well as a night owl, so I can walk your pup(s) super early or late ~ and any time in between! My partner and I share a rescue dog in our home, so I’m available to house sit or do overnight stays since he can take care of our dog when I’m gone. Our doggo is super sweet, friendly, and loves other pets!! I have a very safe, gated 1,00 sqft house right off of the Deerfield Beach Island strip. we have a backyard with two permanent leashes so your pet(s) can hang out with me outside in close proximity. In my home your dogs will be allowed on all the furniture. In your home, I will respect whatever boundaries you have in place for your pets :)

“Paul has been a great asset to getting the stimulation my German shepherd was bred to need! Both of my dogs respond so well to him. They’re very Intuitive dogs that instantly pick up on someone’s nervousness or lack of confidence - but Paul comes in with a confident but clam nature that they sense immediately. Both my dogs have struggled with reactivity - but have had no issues with him.”

About: I've had cats and dogs for most of my life. I'm experienced with caring for elder dogs and dogs with disabilities. People are often surprised by how comfortable their pets are with me, even pets who don't normally approach new people. I've studied cat body language to be able to better care for my two cats. My availability is consistently pretty open. I work part time with a flexible schedule, so I'll have ample time for pet sitting and dog walking. Your home is your sanctuary. I'm a quiet, respectful human who will happily care for your pets while respecting your home. I'm happy to play with your pets to keep them engaged while they wait for you to get back.
