Dog Walking Maple Grove-Franklin

“Freedom is an absolute rockstar! 🤘”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been lucky enough to grow up with 3️⃣ of my own! One of my dogs was my best friend for 16 years, so I also have firsthand experience caring for a senior pup and understanding the extra patience, attention, and care they can need. 💆‍♀️ I’m the person who will absolutely stop what I’m doing to say hi to a dog walking by. 😂 At my other job, I get to see dogs throughout the day, and it’s genuinely one of my favorite parts of working there! I love getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic and ready to play 🎾 or would rather spend the afternoon getting spoiled with cuddles 💤 . I’ll give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like you already do. 🐾🐶🩷 I work full-time, but my schedule leaves me with a lot of time to dedicate to pups outside of work. I’m usually completely free on Sundays and Mondays, and most weekdays I’m home by 3 PM (sometimes as early as noon!). I love having something to look forward to after work, whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, some playtime, or simply giving a pup some extra attention. My schedule allows me to be flexible, and I’m always happy to work around your dog’s normal walking routine rather than expecting them to fit into mine. 🐾 I’m mainly here to help with dog walks, and I really enjoy getting outside and having a pup tag along! I’ll make sure their walks fit their energy level and personality, whether they want to run around and explore or take a slower walk and sniff everything along the way. I’m also happy to follow any routines or preferences you already have for your dog. I’m also totally down to do quick drop-ins if your pup just needs someone to stop by, let them out, give them some food or water, or spend a little time with them. I’m not looking to do long house-sitting visits, but I’m happy to make sure your pup is safe, happy, and taken care of while you’re gone! 🐾💕

“Arlo loves Ellie! He gets a nice mid day walk and Ellie gives me updates and pictures of their time together. Thanks Ellie!”

About: I recently graduated with my MBA and, while I figure out what comes next professionally, I’m currently home full time. That means I’m able to spend plenty of time with my dogs and any dogs staying with me rather than being gone at work all day. I’ve always had dogs in my life, starting when I was a child, and I truly cannot imagine my life without them. Everyone knows that person who walks into a room and says hello to the dogs before the people. That’s me. I’m absolutely that person. I currently have four dogs of my own, so dogs are a pretty big part of everyday life in our house. I have a Pomeranian, a Husky mix, and two Chocolate Labs. My dogs love other dogs, and having dogs ranging from a little Pom to large, energetic dogs has given me plenty of experience with different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. My Pom is 17 now and has definitely earned the right to take life at his own pace. These days, that often means being carried around by me rather than walking everywhere himself. He also has his own smaller fenced area within our large fenced yard so he can enjoy being outside without having to deal with the bouncing energy of the bigger dogs. If a visiting dog needs a little more peace and quiet outside, they are welcome to share his area too. Not every dog wants to be in the middle of the action all the time, and that’s perfectly fine here. For the dogs who DO want to be in the middle of the action, there is plenty of room in our large fenced yard to run, play, explore, or just hang out. And if your dog needs daily walks, I’m your girl! Mine insist on them, so walking is already part of my everyday routine. My Pom makes it about half a mile, my Husky gets around 2.5 miles, and my two Chocolate Labs need at least 3 miles. I walk all four separately, so everyone gets individual time and a walk that actually fits their needs. Adding another walk or two for a visiting dog is no problem, whether they need a long walk to burn off some energy or a short leisurely one to sniff everything along the way. Your dog will fit right in. Inside, there are dog beds and blankets throughout the house, although our dogs are also welcome to sleep with us. Basically, they sleep wherever they decide they are most comfortable. I want a dog staying with us to feel comfortable too, so I’m happy to follow what they are accustomed to at home as much as possible. I also take mealtimes seriously. Our Husky and Pomeranian eat separately, while our two Labs are comfortable eating together. Visiting dogs are typically fed separately from our dogs so everyone can relax and enjoy their meal without competition or unnecessary stress. Depending on the dog, that may be as simple as eating across the room or having a baby gate between them. I adjust based on the individual dogs involved because their comfort and safety matter more than having one rule that every dog has to follow. Some people might say my dogs are spoiled rotten. I prefer to say they are extremely well loved, and that is exactly how I treat the dogs who stay with me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, from seniors who prefer a quieter pace to younger dogs with energy to spare. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may need a little extra attention. Whether your dog is staying for daycare or boarding, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for them. When a dog stays with me, they aren’t treated like a guest I’m watching. They’re treated like part of the family until their family comes back to get them. I am currently home full time, so I have lots of time to spend with my dogs and yours! My life is sincerely built around the happiness and comfort of my babies, and yours when they are with me. Our days already include individual walks, outside time, playtime, meals, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of lounging and snuggles. Because I’m home, I also have the flexibility to adjust my routine to what your dog is used to. If they normally eat at a certain time, need multiple walks, take medication on a schedule, need more frequent potty breaks, or simply want someone nearby, I can accommodate that. Your dog doesn’t have to adjust to my schedule. As much as possible, I’ll adjust my schedule to theirs. We have a large, fully fenced yard with a smaller fenced area within it for little dogs or dogs who just want some peace and quiet. That way, if the big dogs are running around playing and being their usual goofy selves, the smaller or less energetic dogs don’t have to worry about getting run over! Visiting dogs are welcome to use whichever area makes them most comfortable. We also have multiple dog doors, so dogs can come and go as they need or want rather than having to wait for someone to let them outside. Since I’m home full time, I’m here to keep an eye on everyone throughout the day. I pay attention to each dog and what makes them comfortable. Dogs can be together when they enjoy each other’s company, but I also have plenty of space to separate them when someone needs a break. Meals are typically separated as well, either with physical space or a baby gate, so everyone can eat comfortably and safely without worrying about another dog getting into their food. My own dogs range from a 17 year old Pomeranian to a Husky mix and two Chocolate Labs, so I’m very accustomed to managing different sizes, ages, energy levels, and needs under one roof. I don’t expect every dog to behave or interact the same way. I’d rather adjust the environment to the dog and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your routines and house rules. My goal is to keep things as familiar as possible for your dog while you’re away, because sometimes the best way to help them feel safe is simply to keep their world as normal as possible.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for over 10 years. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, parrots, fish, and even ducks. I care for each animal as if it were my own, and prioritize not only their physical health but also their emotional! Animals are deeply emotional and are affected when their parents go away, so I promise to provide excellent care of your fur babies. Rest assured you have a reliable and loving person that you can trust. I work full time during the week, but that doesn’t stop me from taking excellent care of your pets. They will be seen at a minimum of 3 times per day, if not more. I like to see them before work, during lunch, and when I get off. I prefer to stay overnight to make sure they’re okay. If they need more attention, I can certainly accommodate! My job has the flexibility of letting me work from home if needed. We prefer to let Koda free roam around the house. We don’t have a fenced in backyard but are always taking her out on the leash. She is lower energy for a Doodle and easily bored, so we make sure to give her toys and treats! She loves watching kids movies too so we make sure to have those on while we’re not home. Whether your pup is at my house or yours, they will go out at a minimum of 3 times daily. If they need to be crated or separated from my Koda, we can make that happen too! I will adjust anything in my schedule or routine to accommodate your fur baby. ❤️ We allow dogs on the couch and bed because we love snuggling!

“Anastasia was great, truly professional. She offered to come over for a little meet and greet ahead of time. On the day of, she confirmed in the app and was timely in arriving. She took such sweet care of my pup and provided several photos of their adventures together. It is such a stress relief to know that my girl is getting nice, long walks during my working days now. We will be using Anatasia regularly!”

“Hatcher did a great job with my Alfie! He walked him around the neighborhood while I was at work, and he sent me several pictures of him, which really made my day! He was highly communicative throughout the whole process, which I really appreciated.”

About: I have had three medium breeds and one small breed throughout my life. I have helped feed, walk, and play with all of them often. I am currently a college student with weekends, and a good amount of time during the week open. Saturday-Tuesday is preferable, other days are negotiable. I care for pets with compassion and patience. I give them as much love and attention as they ask for and respect their needs and space.

“Brittney is amazing! She’s been walking our dog for a few weeks now daily and takes great care of her. She is so creative and also brings adorable stickers around”

About: Hello, my name is Atticus! I worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, have been pet and house sitting for neighbors and friends for over 3 years, actively volunteer at a cat shelter since 2017, and have been walking dogs since I was a kid. I have 5 pets (one dog, three cats, and one snake) of my own, making me well versed in caring for a variety of animals. I work a sporadically scheduled contracted job 1 to 3 Saturdays a month that I'm very committed to. However, these jobs have never gotten in the way of my care towards my own animals and the animals I have pet sat for. I don't pet sit in my own home, as I can't be sure that my animals will 100% get along with a client's animal. I have slept over in guest rooms of the houses I have spent over night in, as well as having only been in the house with the pets during the day, all per the client's request. Whatever one's house looks like or whatever features one's house may have, I am always sure to respect boundaries, clean up after myself, and make sure the house is left looking better than when I arrived.

“She was so punctual, communicative and my pup loved her! So glad to have someone in the neighborhood for walks! Thank you 😊”

About: I believe a house isn't a home without a dog! I grew up around dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and lovingly cared for my own best dog friend Hobbes for 11 years. I'm ready to be a stand-in best friend for your canine companions whenever work, travel, or life keep you too busy to dote on them. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I work part-time as a healthcare professional. I often have multi-day stretches of time off, and am happy to take time out of my day to give your pets the love and attention they need. I'm flexible, reliable, and adaptable. My goal is to keep your pet's routine and environment as familiar and comfortable as possible. I'm happy to stick to the schedule your pet knows and provide plenty of snuggles in between.

About: I have over a decade of animal care experience from working as a pet sitter, dog trainer at Petco and Karma Dog Training, and also a Vet tech at Saugus Animal Hospital. Dogs especially are my passion and I will take care of your fur babies like my own :) I am fairly flexible as I only work part time. I am also usually available weekends and holidays for petsitting. I enjoy doing regular walks throughout the week also. I have a secure, fenced yard equipped with Ring cameras. I have extra crates as well if needed, and plenty of cozy dog beds, furniture.
