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 I am college student, and pet sitting is my full time job during the summer. This means I have a very flexible schedule to help accomadate your needs and can do same day bookings. 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: Hello and thank you so much for your interest in my pet care services! I have over 15 years of professional pet care experience, from dogs, cats and chickens, to fish, birds and even turtles! I have previous experience as a kennel technician and assistant manager of a pet boarding facility offering doggy daycare, overnight boarding and grooming services to both cats and dogs. Most recently, I worked alongside a wonderful team of dog walkers serving surrounding towns of central MA! I also have experience with puppies, medical boarding and/or senior care of both cats and dogs. I am comfortable working with dogs of all shapes, ages and sizes! *Pet first aid and CPR trained and certified! I am currently available for morning, midday and evening drop-in visits/vacation care, or from 10-3pm Mon-Thurs for dog walking/potty break & playtime visits! All availability and pricing is up to date. :) I hope to see you and your animal loved ones soon! After working in a pet boarding facility, I greatly appreciate getting to care for animals in their own home. It is much less stressful for the animals, and their pet parents. I have years of experience taking care of animals in their own home, and I value transparency, safety, trust and genuine care for the animals I care for.

“I have a young hyper lab and I was concerned she would be too much for someone else to walk. However Amelia was the perfect fit! Her calm demeanor impressed me. I was so glad to find her! I highly recommend her”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from about 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, family; I’ve been trusted to care for their furry family members for a while. Having my own dog and being surrounded by many furry friends, I have much experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule that varies throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate owners’ needs whenever possible. I prioritize communication and reliability, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I will follow all instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a calm, positive, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Nicole was great and exceeded my expectations. She came over to meet our dogs before we left on vacation and they instantly liked her. While on vacation she sent videos and pictures after every walk and was ALWAYS on time. She made my vacation worry free and I can’t thank her enough!”

“Tori took care of our Duke who is a 115 pound Labradane for the first time. We had a great meet and greet, she was very knowledgeable and accommodating to what Duke needed, she took great care of him. She was on time and responsive letting us know how Duke did. He enjoyed his time with Tori. We will definitely be using Tori's services again. Thank you again Tori for helping us out and being so kind our our biggest baby Duke😊”

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.

About: I decided to try letting a husky pull me on roller blades 27 years ago, and a bond was created that I am convinced was the greatest thing ever. I became an aspiring writer and began researching dogs, playing with them and loving them all the same. I understood that some people just had that dog thing, but I wanted to know why. Still working on my writing, and still researching, I started roller blading around Webster lake with a rescue puppy this past year. I remembered the incredible joys that a dog would have discovering the freedom, and it's really incredible. I don't claim to be a dog whisperer, but I have learned from studying dog behaviors and personalities. Honey has been incredible this season. Some dogs would rather just sniff, and it's arguably the most incredible of dog traits. Sometimes finding the space to run can be a challenge, but even just on a walk, it's all about giving them the chance to choose when you can. I have been an educator as a substitute and a paraprofessional, and enjoyed 20 years with a number of schools and institutions. Coaching tennis, track, and rock climbing, I love giving new experiences. As director for an adventure camp or as recreation games coordinator, I was able to incorporate a team into all the fun. Relying on the service industry for work, I have developed my communication skills in many fields. 3 years working for the May Institute with adults with severe disabilities gained me a humility not found elsewhere. In the Healthcare industry I found incredible individuals who just fit their calling, and you were better for being around them. The last 2 years I have traveled the state as a licensed pest technician solving homeowner problems, and keeping people safe. I enjoyed being a source of information, and health, and was careful to appreciate coming into someone's home and life. I'm currently planning on returning to school to attain my message therapy certification and utilize my background in health. It's a good plan with modification, and I am hopeful that Amazon flexibility will help. I'm the kind of person who starts with a smile, and believes that kindness is always an option. I understand that taking care of your animals and home is a sacred thing, and I will remain transparent and available. I'm currently working for Amazon, Sunday through Wednesday, and have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday completely free for services. Additionally I can be available for any other days with proper notice, due to Amazon's flexibility with their scheduling. Our yard is fenced in, and our two rescue dogs enjoy their space very much playing and running around. Our 16 year old cat enjoys being an inside/outside cat very much, and has adapted to our precocious new additions. Our back door is opened frequently.

“Hope was very professional and friendly. She was great with my dog!”

“Olivia really helped me out with my dog when my family and friends were unavailable. She took her for a nice long walk and even let her swim in the creek (which is her favorite thing ever).”

About: I am a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet caregiver. I'm currently in my third year at Liberty University, and animals, especially dogs, have always held a special place in my heart. I've had my own dog for over 14 years, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it's walking, sitting, or just spending quality time, I’ve looked after dogs (and other pets!) for friends, family, and neighbors with love and attention. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. If you're looking for someone reliable, energetic, and genuinely excited to meet your furry friend, I’m your person! I am a college student home for the summer with a lot of free time. I work a part time job and an internship that are very flexible so I would love to help out with your furry friends when needed! I am a very active person so I love to get pets outdoors to let their energy out but I always keep them on the leash unless they are in a enclosed space!

“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!”
