Dog Walking Marlborough

“Ivan is an excellent dog sitter. He obviously loves dogs and he was attentive, calm, and thoughtful in his care. This was my first time using a dog sitter for taking my dog for walks, and I couldn't have gotten luckier in choosing Ivan to take my dog to the park and care obout my pet. Ivan takes the responsibility seriously and understands my dog behavior rather than treating it as a checklist. My dog usually has the anxieties. Ivan found the way to calm my dog and communicate with wonderful care. After couple walks withIvan my dog is very excited, waiting for Ivan to come and go to the park. Ivan isd professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would not hesitate to book Ivan again. I am highly recommend Ivan service.”

About: My husband Lonnie, and I will be the care team for your dog, whether they are staying for a few hours or a few days. We are a pup-loving family looking into fostering or adopting a dog in the long-term. We've had pet hamsters, a hedgehog and bunny but our kids (10, 12 and 15) have wanted a dog for years. In our last neighborhood we signed up as puppysitters and hosted a few different dogs, started walking others, and generally tried to give our kids as much experience with them as possible to test the waters! Now that we live in a big house with a large fenced yard and quiet neighborhood, we would love to welcome your pup into our home for a day, a weekend or a longer stay full of love, hugs, play and walkies. We are still fairly new to the dog-sitting game but we are eager to hear from you and learn how to care for your dog the way you do at home. I work two days a week as a supply teacher, and my husband works remotely from home, so most days there will be 2 adults around to play with your pup! We have three kids between the ages of 10-15; two boys and a girl. They are all eager to spend time with your dog, and help us out with walks, potty breaks, playtime and quiet cuddles. We have a large, fenced yard and plenty of room in the house for your dog's crate and favourite nap mats. If your dog is used to being allowed on furniture or beds, we will allow it in our home too. There will always be somebody home to walk your dog in the mornings, during the day, after school or in the evening. On weekends we will clear our schedules so that we are all available as a family, and during the week there will be 1-2 parents home until school finishes, and then 3 kids home to play after that!

About: I just left my job after many many years. I worked in the addiction recovery sector. I have found myself still having so much in my heart to give I am retired and home so while I am babysitting your fur baby I will be sure to schedule things remotely. That way he or she will get the attention they need while you are away I take dogs on a walk regularly on a leash. Also, there is lots and lots of love to go around here for your fur baby while yo are away.

“Jacqueline is great with Ollie, and great to support watching him on short notice!”

“Georgina is wonderful! Our 1 year old pup absolutely adored her, and she provided great updates and photos after each walk while we were away. We hope to work with Georgina again soon!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since birth- literally. My first dog used to sleep in my crib with me! I’ve had 12 dogs so far throughout my life, and each one has taught me important lessons about love and responsibility. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I’ve had dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I can safely administer medications, provide happy and fun play time, snuggle up on the couch with your pet, and tailor individualized needs based on your requests. I truly enjoy meeting and caring for dogs, and would love to meet yours :) I work full time as a night shift registered nurse and home care nurse in the greater boston area, and would like to make some extra money doing what I love; being around animals. My schedule is different every week, so my availability is very flexible! I am also home during the day when lots of people are away, and work when the world is asleep! I am adaptable to any environment, needs, or requirements for your pet. I am comfortable walking, crating, training, feeding, and administering meds to your pet! All I require is written or typed instructions to ensure it’s done properly and safely!

“I am very thankful I found Lucy to drop in and walk my pup while I am at work! She has been so easy to work with and always sends lots of pictures with the daily reports. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thanks Lucy!”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and volunteering at rescues. My favorite is getting to work with the large and high drive dogs as well as dogs with reactivity issues. I own two American-pitbull, Staffordshire Terrier mixes and LOVE working with bully breeds. I however offer services for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Services: - Solo trail walks (for reactive, dogs, aging dogs and young dogs.) - Small pack hikes (3-5 dogs) for well mannered dogs - Structured Socialization for Reactive Dogs (Walks with my personal dogs trained to help allow reactive dogs - with no forward aggression - to safely and calmly integrate into a small pack of 2-3 dogs.) - Solo Family Boarding - Solo Family Daycare (6-8 hours - must be dog friendly) My daily schedule is entirely structured around the dogs I work with. I am available for morning, mid-day (Monday and Fridays), and evening group or individual trail runs. We have the schedule and flexibility to give your dog the full time and attention they deserve without rushing. I maintain the rules and boundaries you have set. I practice "sit" at crosswalks, check-ins during walks, and ensure they are calm before we exit the door. I treat your home with total respect, ensuring it is locked, clean, and exactly as you left it—just with a much more tired and happy dog waiting for you :)

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I have 2 of my own at the moment as well as spending a lot of time volunteering at a local shelter and have met many different breeds. I am more than happy to watch over a sweet senior or a bouncy puppy, just let me know! I'm currently taking classes online, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I'm available most days to pet sit or take the pups for walks. I would love to do a 'meet and greet' with your fur babies if you would like. Feel free to message me as much as needed!

About: Hi there! I’m Fawn, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, I was the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors, where I looked after a variety of pets, giving them plenty of playtime, exercise, and, of course, cuddles! I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with both big and small dogs, including gentle giants like English and Bull Mastiffs, Rottweilers, and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller pals like Beagles and Chihuahuas. I understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I’m dedicated to tailoring my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. At home, I’m a pet parent to two wonderful cats and a dog, so I know firsthand how important it is to find a reliable, loving caretaker. I offer flexible pet care services tailored to your needs, including house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks depending on location. With very open availability, I would be thrilled to care for your furry friend! Whether they need a brisk walk, a cozy snuggle, or some good playtime, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe. Pet care is my passion, and I’m excited to fill my days with extra furry friends. Caring for pets is a fulfilling way for me to unwind and do something I love while helping pet owners like you. I’m based near Westborough, MA. My main focus is keeping your fur baby safe and happy! I will follow any and all instructions you leave for your animal. I’m very communicative and super reliable. I work full-time as a pet sitter, allowing me to carefully plan my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention they deserve.

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for dogs, especially high-energy breeds. I have my own dog, Roo, who is a Vizsla, so I’m very used to active dogs that need plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation. Because of this, I’m comfortable with long walks, runs, play sessions, and keeping dogs engaged so they’re happy and tired by the end of the day. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your dog loves adventures outside, structured walks, or just wants companionship and attention, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I’m also used to maintaining routines with feeding, exercise, and basic commands to keep dogs feeling secure and cared for. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, exercised, and loved while you’re away. I’m a college student-athlete, so I spend most of the school year on campus, but I love dog walking and helping out when I’m home during school breaks and over the summer! I grew up with my dog, Roo, and have years of experience walking, playing with, bathing, and caring for her. I love being active outdoors and spending time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company and giving them lots of attention. I’m happy to coordinate scheduling around your needs while I’m home! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions from the owner. Keeping a dog’s routine consistent helps them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure the environment stays calm, safe, and clean for the pet. I pay close attention during walks, keep dogs securely leashed when outside, and always monitor their behavior to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Because I have my own dog, Roo, a Vizsla, I’m very familiar with staying attentive to a dog’s needs, energy levels, and safety both indoors and outdoors. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets.

I’m currently taking real estate classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to work dog walking and pet sitting into my schedule easily, and I enjoy having a job that keeps me active while allowing me to continue working toward my career goals. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pets are comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. With my 20 years of experience around animals and growing up with veterinarian parents, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs.

About: I believe what sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals! I have been around all types of animals my entire life, including my own dog, Parker. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make it a priority to provide patient, personalized care while the owner is away.

“We were scrambling to book a sitter for our pups when we had to make last minute travel plans for work. Jayliana was quick to respond and confirmed her availability. Our pups immediately warmed up to her and we were very impressed with her ability to get our antisocial cat to play and cuddle with her. Jayliana was very attentive to our pups needs and communicated frequently with updates for peace of mind. She even sent us pictures and videos which made us feel like we were back home with our fur babies! I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter and I will definitely look to book with her again. Jayliana is very kind, detail oriented, and has a genuine love for animals. We are lucky to have found her and are happy that our pets have a new friend in her!”
