Dog Walking Hopedale

About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have cared for pets while friends/family were away and enjoy doing so. I love spending time with animals. At the moment I am part time and have my daughter. My schedule is very open. Even on my work days I am free the first half of the day. However you want them taken care of is how I will do so. Always with love and kindness. I see my pets as my family.

About: Owner of 3 yr old pomsky. What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need extra playtime and consistency, to senior dogs who require patience and gentle attention. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, while keeping their routine on track. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like family. Pet care is a natural part of my routine — I enjoy daily walks, outdoor time, and making space for play and cuddles. My schedule is flexible, so I can give pets the attention they need, whether that’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening care. In my home, I create a safe and cozy environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable, with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely — from feeding schedules to exercise needs — so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to keep their day as normal and happy as possible while you’re away.

About: I have owned dogs for the last 15 years. I also grew up with dogs my family home and I also cared for a ill cat for two years. I have my own dog Mondays and Tuesdays so I hope to take care of yours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and Saturday. I recently retired so I can dedicate my time to animals. This works great with my plan to get more exercise. My dog has a huge fenced in backyard and I spend all my time with him when I have him. I always keep him on leash and pick up after him. I also spend much time just cuddling and petting Gizmo also.

“Cassandra is a wonderful person and so happy we found her! We have an 18yo dog who’s essentially deaf and blind and last minute Cassandra agreed to help us, not once but twice. She took exceptional care of him and was a pleasure working with.”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own and foster puppies and adult dogs as well. We also have chickens. I love animals of all types and understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust with their care. I am a Registered Nurse and caring for animals comes as natural to me as caring for people. Caring for your pets gives me the flexibility to spend time with them but also be available as a mom. My daughter loves animals and is very helpful and loving. I have a flexible work schedule and work from home. I am able to interact while working and provide frequent potty breaks and extra attention as needed. I do feed separately to avoid food aggression issues which can sometimes happen in new environments. I have 2 dogs of my own and a large fenced in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play and also lounge and nap! We’d love to know what your dog's typical routine is at home as well as any behaviors (food/toy aggression) or quirks we should be aware of. I will do my best to accommodate any special needs. Please let us know if they are on any medications or have any health issues. I DO NOT accept dogs that are aggressive, excessive barkers, non-house trained, destructive, or have severe separation anxiety. All dogs who stay in our home must be well socialized, healthy (i.e. not sick with any contagious diseases that could be passed onto humans or other dogs) and up to date on their vaccines and flea/tick preventatives. Required vaccinations: Rabies Distemper Bordetella (kennel cough)

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds both personally and professionally. I bring deep knowledge, patience, and heartfelt dedication to every pup I meet. My love for dogs runs deep, and I always strive to make each one feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Whether it's energetic playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own with compassion, consistency, and lots of belly rubs! Providing the best care possible isn’t just my job, it’s my passion and my priority. I currently work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m also supported by my two mature and responsible children, who have hands-on experience with dog-sitting, walking, and even cat care. They fully understand the responsibilities that come with caring for animals and love being involved. With our home full of warmth and care, your pet will feel like part of the family. We live in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s known as one of the safest in Massachusetts. Our area is peaceful, welcoming, and perfect for regular walks, with nearby dog parks and friendly neighbors. I have all the necessary dog-walking supplies on hand, and as an active, athletic family, we love spending time outdoors. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and outdoor play always in a safe and stimulating environment.

“I highly recommend Steph, she has been wonderful with my two pups - one is a grumpy bulldog and the other is a crazy black lab, so I know she can handle double dogs of different speeds which is great! She’s also really sweet with the dogs, super friendly and easy to talk to, and very flexible with bookings.”
