Dog Walking Merrimack

“Lea was wonderful. Our 2 labs are 5 and 6 yo and this was the very first time we used someone outside of our inner circle. Lea made ua feel comfortable and confident in their care. We reached out last minute On a Monday for a Thurs/Fri booking and she was able to fit us in. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dogs.”

“Ben is awesome! I had a last-minute walker cancel on me through Wag, so this was my first time using Rover. Ben stepped in last minute and was there for both my family and Monty when we really needed someone. He was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and kind, and he was absolutely wonderful with Monty. It was clear that Monty was comfortable and well cared for with him. Ben went above and beyond to accommodate us, and I truly appreciate it. I highly recommend Ben and would absolutely use him again!”

About: You're barking up the right tree with my services! I've had dogs since I was 5 and have provided dog care to my neighborhood, friends, and family for most of my life. I treat every pet as if they were my own and never go anywhere without dog treats in my bag. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and rescues and have taken care of many breeds ranging from Dachshunds to Border Collies to an 80 lb German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. Whether it's playing fetch for hours or snuggling on the couch your dog will be in great hands. I don't have a dog of my own right now so I have lots of doggie love to give :) If you're looking for someone dependable, fun, and want to help me stop asking everyone I see if I can pet their dog then give me a shout! I'm in school right now so I'm very flexible and am happy to work with my schedule and yours to take care of your pet. Your pet is family when they're with me and I prioritize safety and respect of both your pet and household. I will always respect your pet's space and comfort and ensure they're safe at all times. I treat a client's home as if it were my own: any mess will be properly taken care of (whether that be a shredded toy or a potty accident), everything gets put back in its proper place, and all spaces will be left just as they were found if not cleaner.

About: Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’ve lived my entire life. From hermit crabs and guinea pigs to dogs, cats, and even farm animals through veterinary science programs, I’ve cared for animals of all sizes, personalities, and needs. What truly sets me apart is that I respect animals for who they are. I understand body language, boundaries, and temperament — especially with cats, who require patience and trust. I don’t force interaction. I don’t rush visits. I create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels understood. Your pets aren’t just appointments on my schedule — they’re individuals, and I treat them like family. I currently work full time as a dental assistant at a small, local office. I am typically available evenings starting at 5:00pm, and free all day Friday- Sunday! My cats are truly my babies, and their happiness and safety shape how I care for every pet. We recently moved into a large townhouse specifically so they would have more space to explore — three full floors to run, climb, and play. Creating an enriching environment for them was important to me, because I believe cats thrive when they have room to move and feel stimulated. They even have their own dedicated cat room (yes — the spare bedroom belongs to them). It’s filled with endless toys, cozy spots, scratchers, and safe hiding places where they can relax or play whenever they want. Out back, they have access to a secure, fenced-in area on our private patio within an additional fenced yard — giving them safe outdoor enrichment while staying fully protected. I believe cats deserve more than just basic care — they deserve intentional space, enrichment, safety, and love. That’s the same level of thought and attention I bring to every cat I care for.

“Thank you for taking care of my dog !”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own. Each of them are rescues and are very different breeds. Learning all their personalities was a challenge but love to see them all thrive and love each-other and get along super well. I am a a stay at home mom of a 2 year old boy and some days he would need to come with me on our walks . He loves our dogs soo much and has been such a great help with them! Our days are very open and would love to help care for your pets ! If a pet is not child friendly I can do my best to make accommodations to ensure the pets best interests. I give all pets the love and care that is needed. I will also be very respectful of their space and let them get comfortable with me first. I have a nice calm demeanor to let the pets know I am a safe person.

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me

About: We've always had a strong love for dogs! Growing up in a household with dogs, sitting for friends/families dogs, and now having two dogs of our own, we feel confident that your pup will be well taken care of! Unfortunately, both of our dogs have a chronic medical condition requiring very strict food and medication administration. Therefore, we are extremely mindful of dogs who may have special needs, diet restrictions, allergies, medication administration, separation anxiety, etc. We utilize a positive reinforcement approach to training/caring for our dogs and other dogs! Working from home provides us the flexibility to give your pup the love and attention they need! They will never be left alone when boarding with us regardless if it is a weekday/weekend. We understand being away from home can be stressful and want to be there every step of the way! We can accommodate 1 dog per day/night and have a large fenced in backyard for plenty of space for your pups to run around! The fence is 6ft+ and very secure. We also have two very friendly dogs who love nothing more than to play and cuddle on the couch! We only allow dogs from the same home at one time so you can be rest assured your dog will get the attention, love, and safety they need. We will treat your pup like they are our own and understand the anxiety of being away from your furry friend!

About: I've always had animals in my life since the day I was born. I was brought up to love all creatures big and small. My true passion and love in this life is for the animals. I have worked with mainly cats and dogs. Volunteered in many animal shelters in NH and CT. At one time I lived in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where I helped run an animal shelter. Saving many animals from bad situations. I also went around to the schools down there educating the children on how to care for an animal. When I moved back to the USA I started volunteering at my vet where I brought my dogs for care. My vet ran a rescue called All Better Pets. She turned it over to us volunteers. We created a Board where I became Treasurer. I have no children so my animals are my children. This is just a brief description of the many things I have done to help. Thank you for reading this and Happy Tails!! I am an LNA and currently I work Monday through Friday with seniors through a private company. I would eventually like to get back into working with animals full time. I am looking to walk, feed and or care for your furbaby in your home. Currently I can not Board an animal as my friend who I live with has 3 cats, 1 which is old and sick. Sorry! Currently in my home we have 3 cats. Our dog has passed. They have free range of the home and many places to look out the windows along with climbing towers etc. When my dog was alive she had an electric fence where she was free to roam while we were home.

About: Hello, thanks for considering me to help care for your family! A little about me- I’ve had dogs my whole life. A lovable quirky Golden and quite a few Akitas. I’ve found every dog has unique needs and especially adoptees and rescues, need extra patience and understanding to gain your trust. I like to be mindful and cater to each dog’s individual needs on a case by case basis so they get the best possible care, which they deserve. I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with care and love. I have experience with both puppies and aging dogs. At any stage in their life I’m happy to do what I can to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have cared for cats and dogs with daily check ins and in-house care. I feel strongly that both parties be comfortable with the pet care. You, the owners, should feel comfortable with me watching your pet(s) just as I should feel confident watching them. This is not just a way to earn some extra income (while that is important) your pet(s) deserve the best and if we are not a good match both parties are welcome to decline the care if we feel that’s best so your loved one(s), you, and I all feel good about the situation. Communication is key and as I mentioned if either of us feel unsure or unsafe it’s not worth the compensation. I hope this little blurb is not a deterrent but rather an extra layer of assurance why I am a good candidate for your dog(s) by being honest, fair to all parties, and prioritizing everyone’s safety. That being said I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family members! I have experience with a variety of cats, Golden Retrievers, Akitas (up to 130 lbs), German Shepards, Terriers, Boxer-Pit mixes, Labrador’s, and quite a few other mutts. I like dogs, big or small! If there are any specific instructions, medications, specific training commands, check-in requests, or any other requests please let me know! I’m more than happy to work with you to confirm details and instructions and make sure you’re comfortable leaving your little family members, while making the process easy and stress free. Thanks for reading my profile and considering me to help watch over your creatures! I truly love animals and look forward to taking great care of yours. FLEXIBLE! My schedule is a little different every week and can be flexible as needed (especially if planned ahead of time). I’m happy to discuss scheduling options with you to cater to the timeframe(s) your pet(s) need care. Let’s chat! I take extra care when in anyone else’s space, whether that’s your apartment, house, condo, whatever your home looks like, it warrants respect, privacy, and care. I have experience with dogs being put in their cages when left alone, for dinner, or overnight. I also have experience with dogs sleeping in the same square foot I do! (And by that I mean I am their human-sized pillow so they can sleep comfortably haha). All depends on what you prefer, happy to chat about your preferences. This is your pet, your choice. I will respect your requests, just communicate what you expect for your dog/cat/creature and we’ll make sure we’re on the same page so you and your pet are comfortable. Just let me know and I’ll make it happen!

“Olivia has been such a blessing to help break up the day for my newly rescued pup, Woody. She is kind, patient, friendly, responsive and is a great communicator. She takes her time with Woody never seemingly rushing or overwhelming him. She takes his ques when he’s anxious on walks and wants to return home pivoting to a play session out back or inside with his toys and giving me a debriefing. I was anxious about utility Roover at first with some friends poor experiences. My anxiety quickly disappeared after a brief FaceTime to connect prior to Woodys first walk. Woody and I certainly got lucky with finding Olivia to be apart of our days/weeks. Thank you Olivia for being you, we are truly grateful for you.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have always been trusted to watch over and love on family & friend’s pets. I enjoy my time when it’s dedicated to making your baby happy! I can typically work around whatever your needs are, just message and we can chat all about it! I’m available pretty regularly, life happens but I communicate well and will make it work. I will not be able to provide care in my home for your pets but I can at your home! I will care for your pets however you do, it’ll be like you never left. I’m good at paying attention to details and reading the body language of your furry friend.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 16. My family has owned dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits and chickens. I have experience fostering puppies and even fostered a litter of nine puppies. I am looking for flexible part-time work during the week and on weekends. I'm currently working as a trauma therapist and am looking to pick up some additional part time work working with animals! I work Monday-Thursday and have a flexible schedule. I have experience training puppies and kittens through my own animals and fostering. I have experience crate training as well if needed. I will make sure to treat your home and animals with respect!

“Ashley is always very accommodating with our older guy who needs some additional care. We feel comfortable being able to go out knowing that Ashley will be there to walk Austin.”

About: Hi there! I've grown up surrounded by animals, dogs, cats, even chinchillas! Helping my parents care for and train our dogs was one of my favorite parts of childhood, and that love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. I have a fur baby of my own, Lola who is not just my dog, but my best friend and most loyal companion. She loves her long morning walks and getting lost with me on hiking trails, but I think her favorite thing might just be snuggling on the couch. I rescued Lola from a shelter, and that experience inspired me to start volunteering with a nonprofit pit bull rescue. We're passionate about giving dogs in need a second chance and helping to change the negative stereotypes around pit bulls. Meeting new furry friends always brings me joy, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care is truly a part of my everyday life! My own dog, Lola, keeps me on a consistent routine. We start every morning with a walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some cuddle time before I head to work. On my days off, I love taking her to new parks, hiking trails, or to families houses for some playtime with cousins. Pet care doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with furry friends, I naturally work pet care into my routine because animals have always been such a big part of my life. Caring for other pets while their families are away is just an extension of what I already do, and love doing every day! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in yours, my priority is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that sticks as closely as possible to your pet's normal routine. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar setting. I’ll follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and potty routines to playtime and bedtime rituals. I always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping your home clean and respected. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or handle other light household tasks as needed! In My Home: If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated just like family! I have a dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots for naps, space to play, and a calm, safe atmosphere. My pup Lola is very well-socialized and gentle with other dogs. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and has their own space to eat, relax, and rest. I’ll also keep up with their usual schedule, dietary needs, medications, and, of course, give lots of love and attention! No matter where the care takes place, communication is key—I’ll always keep you updated with photos, notes, and check-ins so you can feel confident and relaxed while you're away.
