Dog Walking Hope

“Thankful for her we needed a walker last minute and she did it. My dog likes her and seems very happy when she comes. She makes sure his needs are met before she leaves. She plays fetch with him and gives plenty of cuddles 🥰”

About: My family and I have fostered dogs and cats, and litters of puppies and kittens since I was nine years old. Being homeschooled for a majority of my childhood, I was able to learn about taking care of these needy animals at such a young age. We have fostered dogs and cats of almost all ages, from newborns to adults. Even during the years, my family and I fostered these animals, I’ve had multiple neighbors at a time rely on me to visit and walk their dogs while they’re at work. That is how I got my first job at 11 years old. I’m out of school for the summer, so I am free practically whenever your pups need me! I can drop in/walk daily or weekly, whatever works for you! With my school and work schedule and the living situation I’m in, I don’t currently offer boarding services, but that may change in the future!

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young. I own dogs and cats and treat them as well if not better than my own children lol. I’ll be sure to treat yours the same and for those that say they’re just animals I say they are our babies. I currently work from home, minimal hours and have plenty of availability to check in, walk or whatever is needed for your pet care. I have experience giving meds and also with puppy training. I have a fenced in yard and currently one senior dog who is dog and cat friendly. I will folllow any instructions you have for your pets care and be mindful of there individual personalities and needs.

“Our dog Reggie loves Paul. Paul is always punctual and reliable. He takes Reggie on extra long walks to wear him out when we have long days at work.”

About: Experience as a dog groomer, doggy daycare attendant, cat shelter volunteer and pet owner most of my life. Firm believer in dog obedience. From dogs to cats to reptiles to aquatic pets, I know how to care for most pets. I spend my free time studying animal husbandry (caretaking) of all kinds and have always wanted to be a vet. Taking care of animals gives me purpose. I am available Monday- Friday including some holidays, from sunrise to sundown. My schedule is pretty flexible, we can talk about what works for you :) I am comfortable with what you're comfortable with. I am extremely picky myself with who takes care of my animals when I'm away. Tell me what you need and I am happy to comply.

“Rich has always been super awesome. Goomba loves when he comes around. Super responsive and knowledgeable no matter what dog. Definitely would recommend booking him if you’re planning a trip or getting away.”

About: Ive been taking care of family pets for years and I enjoy spending time with them! Animals are my passion and I’ve earned the experience of taking care of them. This is my part-time job, which means my schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I’m able to adjust my availability to meet your needs, whether that’s weekdays, weekends, mornings, or evenings! I have had a dog for around 10 years and I’ve seen the way he’s grown from pup to a big dog. I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs that are smaller. With this, I can promise that your pets will be safe with me!

About: Animals are definitely my passion in life! I have taken care of and owned cats and dogs my entire life and have loved every moment. I have previously worked as a certified pet sitter and dog walker for a local pet sitting business. Along with pet sitting and dog walking, I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters where I worked with a variety of different animals. I am also Pet CPR and Pet First Aid certified, and am able to administer oral medications to dogs and cats. I have experience working with puppies with high energy who are not leash trained, with senior pets, deaf pets, and more. I will provide customized care tailored to your pet’s needs and give them lots of love along the way! I treat animals the same way that I treat humans- with respect and empathy. I also encourage meet and greets with clients so that I can get to know you and your pets before the scheduled visit! This helps me learn your pet’s routine and get comfortable with them. My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible. I have availability for drop-ins and dog walks in the mornings and afternoons (6am-3pm) every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Safety is my #1 priority while pet sitting. I will follow any instructions you give me for taking care of your pet. As for dogs- your dog and I will always take the quieter and less busy route and avoid people and other pets to prevent any unfavorable mishaps. A fenced-in yard is always preferred for playtime, but if you do not have a fenced-in yard than your dog will always be on the leash while we are outside to prevent any runaways. If you have instructions to put your dog in their crate upon leaving, I will always make sure they go into their crate comfortably and latch the hooks completely. In regards to cats, when entering and exiting the house I use extreme caution to make sure the cats do not run outside. I am also Pet CPR and Pet First Aid certified so you can rest assure that your pet would be well tended to if an urgent situation were to arise.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different breeds since I was 15. I have experience in feeding, walking, playtime, and anything that helps keep them in their normal routine. Neighbors, family members, and friends have trusted me with their fur babies. I even still care for my neighbors sweet dog, Molly, from time to time when they are away. Caring for animals is very rewarding for me because I love seeing how quickly they react to patience and kindness. It feels meaningful to know that I’m improving their day-to-day comfort and happiness while their owner is away. I’m currently in college (off for the summer) so I’m available whenever you need me to care for your fur babies. Im available for walks any time and will gladly make home visits when needed. I understand that safety is one of the most important factors in caring for animals. I will always respect a client’s home and only do what is instructed of me. At my home, I have a large fenced in backyard my own dog loves!

“Stephanie was great with Daisy, who can be very strong and excitable. I needed someone to walk my dog while I was recovering from an injury. She showed up promptly when she said she would and walked her for exactly the time she said she would. She is friendly and so good with my pit bull. I would highly recommend her.”

I have owned multiple pets of my own for the last 14 years. My dad’s dog was blind and had diabetes (administering insulin) so I have experience in extra care for animals.

About: I got my first dog at 3 and have been in love with them ever since! At 15, I began volunteering with Rhode Home Rescue and have fostered over 80+ dogs and 3 cats since. Volunteering has helped me learn senior, disability, puppy and pregnant dog care. I’m currently attending the University's of Rhode Island as an undergraduate Political Science and Criminology major. I have flexible weekday availability for house sitting, dog walks and in house visits. My pets live a spoiled lifestyle that entails outfits, groomer trips, special dinners and consistent love. They spend their time outside in a large kennel but enjoy walks throughout the week.

“Keasha genuinely loves animals and quickly built a rapport with Lily. She came home grateful for her water bowl and doggie bed. We have found a great dog walker for our fur baby.”

About: Se habla español! Hello there! I’ve always loved animals and have spent most of my life caring for pets. I consider pets part of the family, and I know exactly how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I offer a highly attentive, safe, and loving environment in Cranston. My home had a fully fenced yard where your pup can run and play safely, and I am home to provide potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours. My family has a friendly 6 year old Goldendoodle named Toby, but he lives downstairs in a separate apartment. Because of this layout, my main living space is completely open and dedicated to my guest dogs! It is a fantastic, flexible space where multiple guest dogs can socialize and play together comfortably. Since I attend school virtually, I am home all day and pet care is my primary focus! Your pets will have constant company and plenty of attention. I am fully available for overnight boarding, fun doggy day care, and active neighborhood dog walking on both weekdays and weekends. I am happy to help with your pet's feeding, playtime, and exercise routines throughout the day! Safety is my top priority. I am here to supervise play and potty breaks in my fully fenced yard. I closely follow your specific care instructions, including feeding schedules and crate routines. I’m home most of the day, but I do sometimes pop out for quick errands. Before leaving, I always make sure the dogs are safely tucked into their crates or separated so they stay safe and happy while I’m gone. You'll get plenty of regular photo updates so you can see your pet is safe and having fun!

“Love Ashley! Always on time, always confirms beforehand to make sure we’re still there, and always sends me pictures of my little guys adventures”

“Chantelle has been such a wonderful dog walker for my pup. She is a good communicator and very reliable- she’s even been able to be flexible if my schedule has changed, which is amazing! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone kind to walk your pup.”
