Dog Walking in Maple High-Six Corners, Springfield, MA

About: We currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've worked at the westfield animal shelter and have helped with new puppy feedings. I have had dogs most of my life and would love to watch yours. Me and my girlfriend work opposite days so someone is usually home. We work early in the day so most of the time the dogs are just sleeping. We have an extra crate if needed. We have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs of our own. There is a bathroom part of the yard that's fenced in and an area for play.

“Thanks for the help. Vassu was very prompt in messaging about Yoshi's walks and how he was doing. Was very good with the Yoshi. Always on time and if there was any delay she texted me immediately. Thanks for taking such good care of Yoshi.”

About: What makes me different is my personalized, compassionate approach to every pet I care for. I treat each animal like they’re my own—paying close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. I currently work full-time but I would love to have another job on the weekends. I have a lot of time on weekends to spare and would love to help families with their animal. I have taken care of my finance families dog whenever they need me. I enjoy walking my animals around. I treat all animals like they are my own.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.

“Awesome walker!”

About: I have had a love for animals since I was very little! I take the responsibility of caring for others very seriously and treat them as if they were my own! Let me take the worry and stress out of hiring a pet sitter by knowing you have someone reliable for you babies I just graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and will be starting law school come August! I have open availability for the summer between 8-5 (sometimes a little later)! Caring for pets is more than just a job—it's a responsibility I take seriously. Whether I’m providing care in my own home or visiting yours, my approach is grounded in safety, trust, and creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. **In My Home:** * I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-proof environment. * Pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe areas, and I use closed doors to manage boundaries if needed. * All animals are introduced slowly and carefully to avoid stress or conflict, especially if there are other pets. * I follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and comfort items to help your pet feel at home. **In Clients' Homes:** * I respect your space and follow your routines as closely as possible to keep your pet comfortable. * I keep doors and gates secure at all times and double-check for any escape risks. * I provide regular updates, including photos/videos and messages, or phone/video calls so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. * I observe pets for any changes in behavior or health and will notify you immediately if anything seems off. In all settings, I use positive reinforcement techniques, handle animals with compassion, and maintain high standards of hygiene. My goal is always to build a trusting bond with both you and your pet, creating a safe and stress-free experience for everyone.

About: I have experience taking care of big and small dogs, shy and friendly cats, as well as aquatic life like salt water fish and turtles. I work from home full time so I am more than available to bring my work with me to house sit on occasion as well as use my lunch breaks to take your dog on a walk.

About: I grew up with a beloved family dog, and cats, and have two of my own Golden Retrievers now. I have a home in East Forest Park with a fenced in yard where my dogs love to run and chase each other. I'm working on a Canine Good Citizen certification with one of my dogs and look forward to volunteering at hospitals with him eventually. I treat my dogs like my children (because they are!) and will do the same with yours. I have experience raising puppies and caring for 2+ dogs at a time. I work a hybrid schedule between home and the office but can take remote weeks and work completely from home occasionally. I regularly work from home Friday and either Monday or Thursday so boarding over a long weekend would be easy. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly Golden Retrievers. My girl is a talker (barker) but friendly. I have a large comfortable crate in the living room that is available if needed.

About: I currently only do Day Care because I have a Full-Time job. I am availaible for doggy daycare 7 days a week. (All day Mondays & Tuesdays) (10am-7pm, Wednesday-Sundays) as I work overnights those days. I apologize in advance if you come across my profile looking for boarding, or any other service I usually do. I can always work around my FT job schedule if needed. Your pet(s) will always have 100% of my attention, we will go for 30 minute to an hour walk as often as possible. I always let them on my bed and furniture if you allow them to. I can easily crate your pets if needed. I do not drive so I unfortunately cannot pick-up/drop-off your pets. I always walk them on a leash. All pets are allowed on furniture.

About: Dogs have and will always be a huge part of my life. We got our first family dog when I was just 3 years old and the rest is history. My husband Jack is extremely passionate about animals as well and is my partner in all of this so you get two dog sitters for the price of one! Between the two of us your pet will get so much love, cuddles & exercise! I also just want to add that our love for dogs extends to all animals so cats etc are all welcome to come hang with us :) Important Note: if you are reaching out for house sitting my husband and I only take those if we both are allowed to stay the night. We prefer to do this for safety as well as enabling the best care possible for your pet. Your pets will be my top priority & my main focus when they stay with us! I feel pretty confident that they will get more quality time, attention & lovin with me then any other pet sitter! I have a smoke free home and do not have any dogs currently living at my house so your pets will be my only focus! Also a child free home!

About: What Makes My Pet Care Stand Out? What sets me apart is my extensive experience with all ages, from energetic puppies to beloved seniors. I don't just watch your pet; I understand their unique needs. This includes specialized puppy training for housebreaking and basic commands, as well as compassionate senior care, including medication administration and gentle exercise. My commitment to individualized attention and proactive communication means your pet isn't just a client, they're family. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness above all else. My remote work schedule offers maximum flexibility for your pet's needs. I structure my workday around walks, playtime, and feeding schedules, ensuring consistent care. Frequent breaks allow for ample attention and potty breaks throughout the day, providing continuous companionship and supervision. Your pet's routine becomes my priority. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and trust are paramount. In my home, I provide a secure, pet-proofed environment with supervised outdoor access. For in-client's-home care, I meticulously follow your instructions, maintain strict home security, and remain constantly vigilant. I always have emergency contacts, vet information, and a first-aid kit readily available, ensuring your pet's well-being is my top priority. Regular updates and open communication foster trust.
