Dog Walkers in Ipswich, MA

About: I worked at the Ipswich Animal Shelter for 6 years and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages. I’ve always owned cats, from kittens to seniors, and am very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments! I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and in-home sitting. I’m also able to accommodate weekends when needed with advanced notice. I always care for pets as if they were my own and consistently follow their established routines as closely as possible! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications are handled on schedule, while also keeping their environment clean, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Happy to leave a review of Collette and tipping is out of control so there will be no tip and I am guessing that is OK. I'm a bit taken aback by the request actually. Maybe because I am a senior. Collette was a dream! We will be doing more of this. GSDs are distinct dogs and not everybody likes them. It was clear from the start that Collette was up to the GSD challenge. They sometimes are too smart for their own good. A big thanks to Collette!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life - huskies, goldens, and many types of cats. I raised and house trained a wild kitten last year and love spending time out walking with my two current huskies. I’ve taken care of them through surgeries, injuries and medications. I love animals and care very much about their joy and overall wellbeing. I would love to help get your dogs out walking or to simply spend some time giving some extra love to your furry friends. :) I have a fairly open schedule this summer. Generally, I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings for walks or at home check-ins. Overnight care can be discussed if it is needed, depending on my schedule. I am available to walk, play with, feed, or just watch over your animals if you are away. I love to take my dogs for beach, forest or simple town walks.

About: I have the experience of 3 years of dogsitting my neighbor’s lovely golden retriever, and miscillaneous other neighbors have had me walk all different kinds of dogs too over the years I just graduated highschool and work part time in the evening so I’m free basically every weekday until 3:00pm, some days even after that. Weekends are generally the same. I am very good at interacting by and playing with dogs, and keeping them happy while you’re away. I also love going on walks so naturally I love walking dogs!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a four‑legged best friend in the house. Growing up with dogs taught me the foundations of great pet care: patience, consistency, and plenty of affection. Today, I’m a proud dog dad to my pup, Ghost. He’s energetic, loyal, and always ready for an adventure. Caring for him has deepened my understanding of canine behavior and reinforced the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, structure, or just a calm presence. I’m also a big cat lover! I’ve always had a soft spot for cats and genuinely enjoy their personalities—from the playful and curious to the calm and cuddly. Whether your pet is a dog, a cat, or both, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I have a full time job in Higher Ed I work from 8:30 am to 4:30 PM Mon-Fri. I can work around those hours. I also have an hour for lunch which I can use for additional walks I live by a lake so if your dog loves the water they will get plenty of that! I also have lots of walking trails nearby.

“This was our first time using Rover and Lindsay was great! She arrived on time, sent pictures during her visit and took great care of our puppy. We will definitely book again!”

“Laura is the BEST! All of the tenants in my apartment complex are always complimenting on how wonderful my dog walker is. I always tell them, of course, my dog walker is Laura, she’s the best!!”

About: I worked as a dog walker for a year where I walked 6 dogs at a time usually walking around 36 dogs per day. I would also brush out feed and give the dogs water and any meds they may need for the day. Lastly I grew up with dogs my entire life so I know how to care for them very well I an currently babysitting and looking to walk dogs in my free days as a summer job. I am available most days and am happy to do any length of walk or visit needed I have a fenced in large yard and 2 very friendly dogs so if I ever needed to bring your dog to my house it would be completely safe

“Rory warmed up to Brooke right away! They had a great time on their walk and she spent some time cuddling with him when he wanted to cut it short because of the weather.”

About: I have two cats, lily and Iris and they are my babies! I also spent a year dog sitting two sweet girl dogs in my neighborhood. I love spending time outside and getting my steps in, so taking dogs on walks is something I really enjoy! I’m a very caring person and understand that not every dog or cat is the same! They all have special quirks and things they enjoy and I love being able to cater to that and make sure they feel happy and safe. I am entering my final year of grad school and am looking to work this summer and sometimes during the year! I work at my internship during Monday’s and Wednesday’s. I am also taking a few online courses, but I am flexible! I can do drop ins a few times throughout the day :) When I’ve dog sat I enjoy mainly to spend the sunny days outside with a fenced yard so that they are free to get fresh air. When inside I like the pet to be in my site range in case they need to go to the bathroom or are about to either eat or get into something they aren’t supposed to. I have taken a cat outside one time and he had been on a leash within a fenced yard. My own two cats are indoor, though when it’s nice I open a window or door that is screened for them to look outside. I do not believe in using spray to punish or train cats. I think electric collars can sometimes help with keeping a dog in the yard but not always necessary. I am very alert on walks and accommodating play time outside with the weather changes.

“Great communication - messaged me when he was 5 minutes away, and again after he actually got my anxious pup to walk away from the house so I knew she was doing ok. Would definitely book again when my regular walker isn't available!”

“Elizabeth wonderful to work with and our rambunctious puppy absolutely loves her. She is very patient and kind and helps to reinforce Nova’s training. We know that she will take great care of our girl while we are away.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I remember. I grew up with a Newfoundland and a Collie; meaning I have lots of experience with high energy pups as well as mellow ones. I’ve dog sat for neighbors on and off for 3+ years. Will shower your dog with love! I work part time at a restaurant, meaning I’ll definitely have time to fit your dogs needs into my schedule! With work hours, it may be difficult to fit into specific times, but I can accommodate the best that I can. Communication is key. My senior girl dog is not the friendliest with other dogs, so I would refrain from bringing any dogs back to my home. However, I will transport myself to your home and accommodate for your dogs needs/desires as best as I can!

About: I have cared for pets for almost 6 years, ranging from pet sitting to caring for dogs while working at my local grooming facility. I also frequently volunteer at Cape Ann Animal Aid in their cat wing caring for the shelter cats. I have fed, cleaned, and walked dogs. I am also experienced in veterinary care including administering medications and being certified in FearFree, Pet first aid, Pet CPR, and more. I fully dedicate my time to your pets, and I am able to take them to dog parks, beaches, anything that’ll allow them to socialize and get proper exercise! When you are gone I would do anything and everything to make your pet feel as comfortable as they can, as well as keeping up with their current routine. I am experienced in dogs/cats that are very anxious, whether that means shy towards humans/dogs, afraid of loud noises, reactivity, etc. Due to my veterinary background and personal experience, I am fully capable of administering medications including daily or preventatives. (Oral, topical, etc) I am currently working part-time, but I am fully free on days that I am not working. I am available after 11am and before 8pm. I am available on weekdays and weekends, as well as some holidays. I am a college student, so I am only available over the summer, winter, and spring when I am home for breaks. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home at this time due to the temperament of my pets, however I can care for pets in clients homes. I am familiar with using crates, basic obedience training, and petsitting dogs and cats including feeding, cleaning, playing, and walking the dog.

About: Hi Pet Parents! 🐾 I may be new to Rover, but I bring over 6 of professional pet care experience from Wag, where I built long term relationships with pups (and their humans!) through a ton of walks, drop-ins and sittings! What sets me apart? - Consistency & reliability: I treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own. - Experience with all kinds of dogs: from shy rescues to energetic puppies to senior pups or disabled dogs who need gentler attention and care - Communication: I keep you in the loop with updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and safe. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay or daily drop ins, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐾 I have the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s specific routine and needs, so they get consistency and attention just like they would if you were home. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. - Walks & exercise: I match your dog’s pace and energy level whether that’s a quick potty break, a long walk playtime. - Drop-ins: I handle feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks and always make time for playtime and affection so your pet feels loved, not just “checked on.” - Sitting: I provide companionship, stick to your pet’s daily schedule and make sure your home is respected and cared for while you’re away. I completely understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home. For extra peace of mind, I always encourage pet parents to use cameras if they’d like because that way you can see your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I also send regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Just for extra reassurance, I don’t invite people into your home. The only time I ever have was for a family I’d been sitting for over many years, and I made sure to ask first—I only had my dad over for dinner because it was Thanksgiving during that stay. Aside from that, I would never invite friends or anyone else over, as I personally find that disrespectful.

About: I have had multiple dogs my whole life and have watched neighbors' dogs for a decade. I love animals and will care for them deeply. I am a college athlete so I work out during the summer a lot but on my own time. I have a flexible schedule and can watch weekends. I have a fenced yard. It is a big yard with grass areas to play in and I also have a big front yard. The neighbors have horses, cats, and dogs so it is an animal-friendly environment.

“Jessica is great with our dogs!! She is always on time and gives our dogs the attention they need! I am very happy with Jessica and the care she gives our dogs!!”
