Dog Walking Marion

“Always gives a written update with a few pictures which I appreciate. Thank you for helping out with our new pup”

About: As a wildlife biologist, I’ve worked hands-on with animals, so I’m calm, observant, and quick to notice small changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable giving medications and caring for senior, special-needs, anxious, and reactive dogs, plus puppies, cats, and small animals. I grew caring for German Shepherds and spent 11 years with my own cattle dog mix, Topo, through old age and health challenges. I send photos and daily reports, reinforce basic training, and love taking dogs on trail and beach adventures. I work as a scientist during the week, so pet care fits around that schedule. I’m most flexible on Thursdays, Fridays, weekends, and holidays, and I can often do early-morning walks before my day starts. I have some availability Monday through Wednesday near Mashpee. For overnight stays, house sitting, or longer vacations, I can arrange extra availability, so just ask about your dates. I can usually pick up and drop off, and I’ll confirm times with you ahead of each booking. In my home (boarding): Dogs are always supervised and on leash for potty breaks, since my yard isn’t fenced. They get daily walks and playtime, and can sleep in a crate or free roam, whichever they’re used to. I live with my husband and two young children, so boarding is best for dogs who are comfortable around kids, and I supervise all interactions. I’ll follow your feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. In your home (house sitting and drop-ins): I stick to your pet’s routine, keep your home secure, and lock up whenever I leave. My background as a wildlife biologist makes me careful and observant, so I’ll notice changes in appetite, energy, or behavior and tell you right away. You’ll get photos and a short update after every visit. For everyone: I’m happy to do a meet and greet first so you and your pet can see how we get along. If anything seems wrong, I’ll contact you immediately and follow your vet’s instructions.

“Jen is both fabulous with her furry clients and their owners. She cares very much about what the need is to be met. She communicates well and is prompt on service. Such a joy meeting her and having her help me out when I'm injured.”

About: Had a 5 month old pup at aged 9 (also had a dominant cat) taught her basics and more over time until she needed medication due to her old age. Looked after friends senior dog which needed meds with food and their other dog that had special dietary needs including medication 3 times a day. House and dog&cat sat for friends that would go away to France for a long weekends I have plenty of time to give care and attention. I am not working at the moment and in between job maybe this is my calling we have a lot of space in the home and in the yard. We do not have any of our own pets yet, but we are talking a lot about them. We have a large 4ft fenced in grass yard and a large basement to allow for off leash freedom to play regardless of weather. Over the back fence we have active cranberry bogs with loads of open space and smells perfect for long walks. I am a fast walker and happy to cover 3-5 miles on a walk. Any fur-babies that need to stay overnight will be looked after like they are my own. I’ll send lots of pictures and make sure your pet is comfortable with as much attention as it needs.

“Jared was fantastic with Rafi and Harley while we were away! He was reliable, communicative, and always let me know when he arrived and when the dogs were safely back home. I loved getting pictures and updates after every walk, including how they did and whether they went potty. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely use Jared again and highly recommend him! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 3 years old, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands on experience with large breeds and am confident handling bigger dogs with different energy levels. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, comfort as they age. I put a lot of love and care into every pet I watch. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. Making sure they feel safe, loved, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule where I work from home somedays. My partner also works 5 minutes from our house and is able to help with potty breaks during the day. We spend a lot of time in our yard or walking the canal on nice days and would love a wagging tail to join us. We have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood to go on walks. We love to go to the canal and spend time outside. We have a fully finished basement with mini splits and air circulation system, perfect for any size dog to enjoy!

About: Have taken care of many types of dogs from Dalmatians and Cane Corsos, to Pomeranians and chihuahuas. I will make sure your dog is taken care of and entertained to my upmost ability I am currently in school 2 days a week, as well as working on getting my private pilots license , but I would be out before 12 everyday. I could take care of your pet before as well as after my lessons. I will follow any rule given to me as well as any instructions about care or treatment of your pet. I will not snoop around or try and be nosy or go into any rooms you don’t want me to go into.

“I've had a run of poor health for the last year leaving ankles and feet painful. Maggie left with a very depressed dog and returned with a smiling happy bundle of energy. My little girl doesn't understand Maggie's name yet but hopefully, that will come. Rhea, who is a five year old Havanese poodle who doesn't understand why walks with myself are so short. Maggie at least got her to stretch her legs and run.”

About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet sitter with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable watching multiple dogs at once while making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I have experience administering oral medications, supporting dogs with special needs (including helping care for a blind dog), and adjusting care routines to fit each pet’s personality and abilities. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my top priorities. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats and guinea pigs, so I’m happy to help out in multi-pet households. I am a dog groomer, which has strengthened my understanding of dog behavior, handling, and overall pet wellness. I am available most of the day. I am working as a dog groomer so when I am not working with a dog I am available for pet care! It easy to work my schedule around what a pet parent may need! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will keep your animal in designated areas if directed to do so. I am comfortable walking any size dog or if you have a fenced in yard I can watch your dog there.

“Heather came into the house and you could tell immediately that she has alot of experience with dogs. My two crazies immediately warmed up to her.”

About: I have been caring for dogs my entire adult life. I have become the go to for dog sitting among all my friends and family, and even my work place! I have watched dogs from puppy to senior. I have experience administering medication, ensuring correct schedules with feedings, and am an expert at making sure the pet is getting all the exercise and attention they need! I also have worked with a shelter walking, caring for, and even taking for visits dogs of many breeds and ages. At this time I cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs. I currently work entirely remote with flexibility for walks and drop ins as needed anytime during the day! Scheduling and time away from pet can be discussed for a pet by pet basis. Any further questions and additional details can be provided! I have a very large but fenced in yard. I have two cats who are immune to dogs and generally pretend they aren’t there when we have dog sat in the past. I also have two dogs of my own! Unfortunately at this timeI cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs, as one of my boys has a temperament against them. Male dogs of any size and smaller female dogs he adores! I am a combination of active and homebody so your pet will simultaneously get unlimited cuddles and all the exercise in my care!

“Alison has been such a blessing with my return to work! She has come to walk my dog Elliot when I’m in office. She always comes within the time window, sends photos, and tracks their walks. She was kind enough to do a meet & greet beforehand, where I could tell she loves dogs! Elliot loves her, and I know her visits help him get through the day. I am confident that Alison provides excellent care, whether that’s in your home or her home.”

“Nikki was amazing. I was nervous because I had just pulled my dog out of a bad sitter situation. She was available last minute, took the time to talk to me for a while, was validating and reassuring and made me confident my dog was in good hands. She showed up as promised, was so sweet and professional, and great with the pup. Can't thank you enough for stepping in a a tough time, and taking such good care of us. 💜”
