Dog Walkers in Leverett, MA

About: I have over 13 years of experience caring for my Labradoodle and have developed a strong understanding of dogs' needs, behaviors, and routines. In addition to caring for my own pet, I have experience walking and looking after friends' dogs, giving me confidence working with pets of different personalities and energy levels. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a UMass student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pet. I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care and treating every animal as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh water, are fed according to instructions, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and have any other needs met. On walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure each dog gets the activity level they need. I treat every pet and home with respect and care, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages.

About: With 25+ years of pet care experience, including 15 years as a vet tech, I treat each animal as I would my own. I enjoy getting to know clients and their companion animals. I feel it is important for pets to have someone familiar taking care of them while their people are away. For this reason, I will usually ask to set up a meet and greet prior to the first booking. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience with small mammals (e.g. gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits), exotics (e.g. lizards, turtles, birds), and farm animals (e.g. chickens, horses, cows, sheep, goats). Whether exercising exuberant young animals, entertaining indoor cats, or just keeping them company so they don't miss you [as much], I'm there to be another one of their people! I look forward to meeting your animal companion(s) and learning more about their routine and requirements to keep them happy & healthy while you are away. You can expect to receive updates including photos while they are in my care. Drop-in visits and house sitting generally available 7 days (between 8AM-8PM) and 7 nights/week. I offer dog walking but not are occurring service on week end days, though available some weekends. My own yard is unfenced; I offer leashed walks and potty breaks in yard and/or on nearby trails. Due to respect for my 3 cats, I do not offer doggy day care or sitting in my home across the board. I have made exceptions for cat-friendly and low-key critters in the past. Find it generally works best to care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where I keep their regular routine going to the best of my ability.

About: I started my first dog walking business at the age of ten, “Paws on Petsitting” complete with business cards and all! I love to spend time outdoors and enjoy the fresh air and what better than to have the company of a furry friend?! I am a passionate caregiver and will never leave without a few extra treats and lots of belly rubs. If personal space is your pets MO, we can do that too! I love to get to know animals and their unique personalities and it brings me lots of joy in the day to get to give them company. Communication is a key part of my services and I want to make sure that both you and your pet are comfortable and confident! I am recent graduate from Hampshire College with a BA in photography and plant biology. That means that you will receive lots of pictures from our visit and that I am highly self motivated and communicative. I am a barista/waitress and generally can pet sit in the mornings/afternoons and am free to fill up my days off! Exercise is always a part of my day whether it just be a walk in the sun, or a trail run and I would love to bring your pet along. I am very reliable and working in the service industry for 8 years now I never leave a job unfinished or without double checking my work. I am sure to not only take general safety measures, but also leave a space clean and full of love!

About: I have lived with and taken care of at least two dogs of various sizes my entire life. Over the past few years I have dog sat and dog walked the pets of family/friends. Some of which had special accommodations such as meds or a strict schedule which was no problem at all! I love spending time with animals so let me bring my care and love to your pets to make your life easier! I am a recent college graduate looking for a full time job at the moment. Until I find that position, my schedule is as open as it needs to be to take good care of any pets. For my own pets, I share responsibility of all the basic needs of a pet; feeding, walking, giving attention, letting them out for the bathroom, etc.. For the pets of my client I provide all of those necessary services myself. I can dedicate any needed time and effort to ensure that the pet stays safe, healthy and active.

About: I grew up having dogs and cats and taking care of them. Now that I don’t have any pets of my own, I’d love to care for someone else’s! I have dog sat for all kinds of dogs and always enjoyed the time spent with them. I currently work as a full time teacher, so I have time for pet care in the evenings most days of the week and even weekends. I care for pets by trying to understand what they need and giving them lots of love and attention. I am also fit enough to lift a dog if needed.

About: I’m a long time pet owner with lots of experience as a sitter and walker when it comes to dogs, cats, bunnies, and rodent friends. Special skills include… - Giving brooding hens a new lease on life - Sneaking in unappealing pills with treats I’m picking up lots of little jobs while home from college for the summer, so I have a ton of flexibility within my day to day. I provide care to by giving consistent supervision, especially if outdoors, to make sure pets are out of harm’s way. I try to offer physical and mental stimulation to ward off boredom and destructive behaviors.

About: I took care of dogs growing up, and now dogs are part of my family. My children have also grown up with dogs, helping with training, feeding, brushing, bathing, and playing with our dog. I am a middle school teacher who is home with my family during the summer. My 10 year old son and I are available to welcome your dog into our family life during the summer weeks and on weekends during the school year. We have a large yard with a stream and conservation land behind our house. We enjoy walks in the woods, running around and playing catch in the yard with dogs who stay with us. Inside dogs are allowed on the couch. We are home all day during the summer. We are excited to meet your dog and welcome them into our family life.

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was able to walk them! I have two dogs, a medium and large breed and have cared for them in every way, walking, feeding, bathing, and of course giving plenty of love! Since going to college I’ve missed my time with my dogs and the opportunity to show such amazing animals all the love and care they deserve. I am a graduate student so I am very busy during the week. However on the weekends I have plenty of time to walk and take your of your dog! I am happy to care for your dog on your terms! I respect the many different ways people go about raising and caring for their dogs. For drop in visits I can let them out in the yard, take them for a walk via my own transportation or down the road, or just spend time with them!
