Dog Walking Manchaug

About: I have been around animals ever since I was born, and started my first job petsitting in only 6th grade. I have worked with a variety of animals ranging from dogs and cats, to ducks, to chinchillas, to horses! I’ve always felt like I have a strong connection with animals, and see my own animals as children. This is why I want to help others take care of their fur babies knowing that they are in safe kind hands while they are away. It is my number one priority to make sure your animal is happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. Every animal has its own personality, and I’ve loved bonding with so many animals over the years. Animal experience: -dog -cat -horse -goat -chicken -duck -bunny -hamster -Guinea pig -chinchilla -turtle -hermit crab -fish Pet sitting is my full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for walks, drop in visits, and overnight care. I do have a few weekly dog walking clients that typically keep me busy from around 10 AM to 2 PM, but outside of those visits I am generally very flexible and can work around your schedule. I am also happy to accommodate same day bookings whenever possible! I firmly believe that a consistent routine for an animal is key to keeping them comfortable, especially if you are to leave. I would follow the owners daily routine to help keep your animals calmer. If they are crate trained I can put them in their crate, watch them in the yard, take them on walks, play with them, and cuddle at the end of the day. I strongly believe in the saying “leave it better than you found it”, which I intend to do in your home!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life & now have a yellow lab and a golden retriever puppy of my own! I have taken care of all my friends and families dogs and love playing fetch, cuddling on the couch or going for walks! I took care of my diabetic and blind senior dog through the end of her life and am comfortable with all sizes/ breeds. I work full time at home in a remote role and have full flexibility in my schedule. I am available days/nights and weekdays/weekends! I have my own dog to take care of so I am used to the schedule of waking up early, letting them out every few hours, and feeding them a few times a day! I have a fenced in yard and a 1 year old very friendly Lab to keep your dog company! My dog sleeps in a play pen and I am happy to have your dog crated or loose depending on what you prefer. I even have an extra crate at my house if needed!

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and I am a huge animal person. I've taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I love getting to know new pets and their unique personalities! I work during the evenings from 2:45-11pm so I have time during the mornings and afternoons. My days off are Friday and Saturday so I have more availability then. I can walk your dog, play fetch, take them to the dog park or anything your dog loves to do. I take my dogs walking or hiking on a daily basis, and they love to swim.

“From day one she respected the fact my dog just needed a minute to warm up to her. She’s a very respectful and awesome dog person! My pup Tony absolutely loved and looked forward to his time with her. Would recommend her to everyone and anyone! Was blessed!”

About: Hello, PLEASE READ. I am sorry in advance to any past clients but we are only ..... ACCEPTING DOGS THAT ARE EXTREMELY CAT-FRIENDLY AND HAVE ZERO HISTORY OF BITING :) Older dogs with lower energy or again, a dog that has always lived with cats.. That said, I have owned, cared for, and loved dogs for 36 years and would love to welcome your dog into our wonderful home. I promise to treat your furry friends as my own and protect their safety while promoting their well-being. I can assure you of my vigilance while you are either at work, on vacation, or just unavailable to walk your pet on any given day! With every walk or overnight, I will provide as many photos and updates as you prefer. I am available 24/7, 7 days a week, and look forward to building a long term relationship as a sitter for your pets. I always include free walks with boarding and extremely affordable baths. I can administer medication and also am flexible with any diet. Sparkling references and smiles are free; woof. My partner and I both work from home and are available all day to care for your animals. We have a fully fenced yard. Thank you! We have a fully fenced yard and a great open home where your pups will feel right at home. Safety is our top priority so for the time, we are only accepting very chill pups.

“Samantha took great care of our good boy while we were away! He seemed to really enjoy his walks with her and we hope to use her services again in the future!”

“Logan has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Milo! His communication is excellent — he always keeps me updated with messages and photos from their walks, which gives me peace of mind. He’s incredibly responsible and caring, and it’s clear that he truly loves spending time with the dogs he walks. Milo is always excited to see him.”

About: Every animal brings pure joy into my life, and I genuinely adore caring for all pets—from energetic wanderers to quiet, gentle souls who take a little time to warm up. I meet every pet exactly where they are, learning their unique language, respecting their boundaries, and making sure their days are full of comfort, safety, and genuine love. Living with my own three-legged dog and having nursed my sweet cats through cancer, I bring deep patience and calm confidence to medical routines, medication schedules, and unique physical needs. Whether your companion needs a brisk walk, a gentle ear scratch, or thoughtful care with their daily treatments, I’d love to connect and give your furry family member the dedicated attention they deserve! I have an open, flexible schedule dedicated to pet care from Sunday to Thursday (all day and evening). Whether your pet needs an early-morning walk, mid-day playtime, or evening drop-in visits and medications, I can easily match their exact routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment familiar, safe, and stress-free. I strictly follow your established routine—from exact feeding and medication times to favorite walking routes and play habits—so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space. During every visit or house-sitting stay, I provide attentive companionship, clean food and water bowls, and handle any necessary light tidy-up around pet areas. You will always receive detailed updates with photos after each visit, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is secure and your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.

About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of animals my whole life. My experience is with dogs of all ages, cats, and other small animals. I am experienced in giving special care (medication, etc.) and would love to care for your fur babies! I treat each Rover client as if they were my own. I have had a yellow lab for 16 years, a black lab for 13 years, and currently have two cats of my own. I currently work from home most days, with weekends off. My schedule allows me to fit pet care in very easily. I look forward to working with you! I ensure my pets have all they need and more, including new toys and items that keep them engaged. It is important for pets to have a clean safe space, always! I believe in giving pets the same quality of life as humans

About: My husband and I have a lot of love for animals, but we have none of our own yet so we have plenty of love to give to your furry kids! We live in a good area with a park, but if your pets enjoy the indoors more, we have a spacious home for them to roam around in and plenty of movies to watch with them! First timers with me will receive complimentary puppy portraits!! We work nearby with flexible hours so with a good amount of notice, we can make almost anything work! I work early mornings and get home by noon. My husband works a 9-5 close to home and is available to be home in an instant. I volunteered at animal shelters for years and have tons of experience! I moved to Massachusetts so I recently started my journey here! We also live near a dog park!

“Taylor is fantastic! So good with a young pup, not only walking and spending time with him but also teaching him some obedience and tricks! Thanks Taylor!”

About: I am in the middle of a career shift and have some additional free time on my hands and would love to turn my love of dogs into a little extra cheese... "who said cheese, can I haz some cheese". If you dog is in need of some extra walks, I am your man to keep that pup happy. I will be going to class in the evening, I can come over and walk your pet between 9:30am and 3:30pm. I regularly walk my own dogs over 2 miles everyday I am a loving a trustworthy person who has had or been around pets for over 20 years. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own

About: I'm good with all animals. I've just always clicked with our little furry friends. No dog is too big and no cat is too spicy. I'm logical, fun, and love playing with animals. I'm currently in a tough job market as AI is really taking over a lot of the software world. I'd love to make a little side hustle money while taking care of our furry friends. I think the most important thing is I treat all animals with love and respect. And I'm not looking to mess up any routines you guys have set. I will execute them for the letter.

“Melissa is awesome! She bonded quickly with our puppy - she fed him and brought him on his daily afternoon walk.”

Shauna M.

“Nicole was awesome. Great communication, really dedicated to animals, my dog loved her. She did a meet and greet prior to the walks, very professional and showed great care for my doodle- who has a mind of her own.. Very impressed with Nicole.”

About: I love caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special routines or medications. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I recently moved to Connecticut with my boyfriend to start a new chapter in our lives. While we look for a new home, I have no work. I’m looking for pet-sitting opportunities. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! 🐾❤️ I’m currently staying somewhere temporarily while my boyfriend and I look for our own home, so I’m not able to have pets stay with me right now. However, I’m more than happy to come to your home and care for your pets there! I have a very flexible schedule and can stay for as long as your pets need, whether that’s a few hours, overnight, or multiple days. 🐾❤️

“Marissa is fantastic! Our fur baby instantly loved her. I would recommend her for dog walking.”
