Dog Walkers in Johnston, RI

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5. I currently have two dogs one 8 and one 7 at my parents home where I currently live. My brother and sister in law also have two dogs 2 and 1 years old. When my parents and them travel, I am in charge of the 4 of them at my house and we are all on a routine where everything is under control and still having fun. When needed, I do go to my brothers to take them for a walk and play with them to break up their day of being in the house. I am currently part time worker, so I have more free time during the week and figured I could use my time to help out dog lovers like yourself! For dog walking, I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet and yourself are satisfied with my job. I will be safe but fun at the same time making sure your pets are cared for properly.

“Marie and her husband were wonderful! Great communication throughout. My dog is 84 pounds and young so he does pull on walks at the beginning. They handled him amazingly. Got him some exercise when I cant right now. Even recharged his night light. I would absolutely book Marie again”

“Eden was the most reliable, most communicative, loviest dog walker in the world. She gave us many updates and answered all our questions. We were so lucky to find her ! Thank you for everything, Eden, and we will be in touch for future walks with you!”

“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.”

“Caprice was very responsive and handled the pups very well. The pups took a shine to her right away and she was very thorough with the instructions that I gave her! Definitely going to have her walk the pups again!”

“Rich is incredible super helpful whenever we go away and also helps me out in a pinch from time to time which has been awesome. His wide array of knowledge with different dogs is super helpful especially with our huge baby Goomba. 70 pounds of pitbull.”

About: I grew up with a sweet Golden Retriever, Jake, who taught me a lot about pet care. I walked, fed, and got to know his unique personality. As he got older and developed mobility issues and glaucoma, I made sure he stayed comfortable, loved, and happy. Later, we added a sassy Poochan puppy, Blake, to the family (I picked him up from out of town!), and I helped raise him, taught him tricks, and helped him bond with our senior dog. I've also noticed when dogs weren’t feeling right, once I suggested allergies, and I was right, and we got him treatment! I've pet sat and walked dogs for others too. I love all kinds of animals and pride myself on being patient, observant, and understanding of every pet’s individual needs. Pet care for me is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I find joy in spending time with animals, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Each day starts with caring for the pets I'm responsible for: morning walks, fresh food and water, and a little play or cuddle time. Throughout the day, I build my schedule around each pet’s routine, whether that’s a midday walk, medication, or just some one-on-one attention to keep them happy and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I like to check in on things like cleanliness, grooming, and overall health, making sure litter boxes or food bowls are fresh, fur is brushed if needed, and every pet is thriving. I take my time to really get to know each animal’s personality, quirks, and comfort zones so they feel understood and cared for while their family is away. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust for all animals. I understand how important it is to keep their environment calm, secure, and familiar. In your home, I follow your routines closely to keep things consistent and stress-free for you and your pet. I pay close attention to any instructions regarding food, exercise, medications, and behavior quirks. I also make sure your home is respected and cared for while you're away. If I’m welcoming pets into my own home, I create a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space. I remove anything that could be unsafe or tempting to chew, and I make sure pets have their own space to relax, eat, and play. I supervise all interactions and tailor the environment based on the pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. Trust is everything in this job. I communicate openly and often with updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel confident and reassured while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and wellbeing are always my top priorities.

“Jasminette was a godsend. She left Frankie in better shape than when she first met her. She communicates well I would definitely use her again”

About: I've had dogs all my life from old to puppies! My friends and family ask me to watch their animals all the time while they go on vacations and I absolutely love it. I currently have a 7 year old lab of my own that I trained through puppyhood. Before her, I took care of my previous dog who lived to be 16, so I am also familiar with doggie diapers and medications. I am a per diem physical therapist at a major hospital in RI so my schedule is variable week to week. Since I have a dog of my own I will not be able to board in my own home. I am also flexible with schedules as long as I am notified of the needed days at least 1 week before. I will not be boarding in my home due to my dog however I am knowledgable about the dog parks and trails in RI so I will be able to take walks or bring them to the park when I am with them. If there is a case where one of my other family members wants to join me on the walk and they were to bring my dog, she gets along very well with others! We are a very lovable household!

“Meaghan was great with Brady! Will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve had a dog of my own for a while and also have taken care of my neighbors pets for long periods of time! From walks, baths, feeding and playtime, I’m experienced in taking care and having fun with dogs of all ages. My dog in particular was a senior and she dealt with arthritis and liver disease, which would limit her ability to do certain things like long walks and going upstairs, or even eating. I do have the experience of taking care of senior dogs that may need this special treatment. I also walked King (pictured) as a volunteer for PAWS NY. This organization has volunteers who walk and/or take care of pets for those who are unable to do so themselves. My job is remote, so I can work from anywhere. My hours are also very flexible, so I am able to work around your schedule! I am also available anytime on the weekends! My area is safe and very pet friendly. The neighborhood is very residential, and there are a few parks nearby. There is also plenty of accessibility and perfect for pets!

“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: Growing up, I’ve always had a ton of animals in the house. Since I was a teenager, I have house-sat/animal-sat for family members and family friends. If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)

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 wanted to mention that I am open to meeting your pet prior to the scheduled service to ease any anxieties. 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 tended to if an urgent situation were to arise.

About: With 13 years caring for my two pugs, I offer patient, reliable pet care. I focus on comfort, safety, and treating every animal with love. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, able to fit pet care between classes and on weekends. I reliably manage visits around my school routine when needed. I’m new to pet sitting, but I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I follow instructions carefully and keep pets secure at home and on walks.

“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.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages- from birth to little old pups and I am here to help where I can. I am a huge pet lover and have always helped family and friends take care of their pets when needed. Extra Note: I have taken care of and owned many types of pets- cats, goats, chickens, reptiles, ferrets and more! I am a college student with weird hours and time to spare! In the summer I am available most of the time with really no time constraints. The school year is trickier but I am still able to help when needed and ready to! However you care for your furbabies I will do the same! Just tell me what they love and don't love and we will work together. I want your pet to be comfortable with me as much as you are with me caring for them!

“Genesis is amazing! Came through last minute to walk my Sophie and Leo, as I am recovering from surgery. Even walked them in the RAIN. Absolutely recommend her. .”

About: I love pets. In my experience, pets our part of family and I will treat them as such. I have care for pets for over 30 years and am able to handle 5-8 dogs. I do pet care full-time. I am always home watching the dogs and cats, making sure they are safe. Pets will never be home alone and we follow strict food or medicine schedules if necessary. Pets are always being watched. They will never be left home alone when boarding. We have a fully gated yard that is impossible for dogs to escape.
