Dog Walkers in Monson, MA

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs in my neighborhood since I was a teenager. I’ve also had experience with house sitting jobs with a close friend and have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and frogs. The best thing about caring for animals is receiving love no matter the age of your pet! I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m open to discussion on dates and times; since I’m ready to add new furry friends to my day to day life. I have a veterinary certificate from a course and have background knowledge in caring for your pet. Safety and care is very important to me! I believe communicating is a big part of a good working relationship and check ins and up dates are a guarantee with me.

About: My dog passed away at age 18 and my family decided that we are not going to get another one. Being able to care for other people's dogs will be a joy. I am not good about updating my calendar. Reach out if you need care for your pet and if I am available, I will be happy to help! I am currently semi-retired and working part-time with a lot of flexibility in days and hours. Dog walking or pop in care will work for me. I won't be able to do any frequent regular visits as my schedule changes weekly. I am used to walking dogs and having dogs that are crate trained. Whatever your routine is, I can help to be consistent in training and care.

“He is fantastic! Mauricio loves him and looks forward to his walks with him. :)”

“Ashley is amazing with our pups! She’s so flexible and easy to work with and always stays for some extra pets with our older dog!! We’re lucky to have her!”

“Starting a regular cadence of visits with Katie was the best decision we’ve ever made for our dog! She is super reliable, flexible when schedules or weather force changes and provides the absolute best care and communication. I think our dog likes her better than us! I never worry about a single thing - she is so thoughtful and thinks of everything he might need. We really really appreciate her. She deserves all the stars, I’d recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 16 years. I have my Master Trainers certificate for police and military k9s and I love all animals. I am currently working part-time as a surgical veterinary technician and shift lead. I have a very flexible schedule and open availability. I do not have many limitations when it comes to my schedule. I currently live in a nice and clean apartment complex. The complex has two large open grassy areas, and it is fenced in. I am accustomed to leash walking, gentle leader training, pinch collar training and harness training. I live close by to multiple dog parks, trails and my current place of employment. I have a very sweet and loving spayed female Vizsla who is now 8 years old. She is extremely dog friendly and plays wonderfully with others. I also have a spayed female 10 month mixed breed named Ginny, who is also very sweet, playful and friendly. If you are interested in overnight pet care at my home I do have two cats, both are great with dogs and also very friendly. I also have the ability to crate train overnight if needed. In addition I offer obedience training services.

“Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!”

About: I have owned cats and dogs the entirety of my life so far, and my favorite part about owning animals is the snuggles! I have also been pet sitting for several years for family and friends. I work as a full-time substance abuse counselor and have recently graduated with my social work degree. Before working as a counselor, I was an animal caregiver, giving me the excess knowledge of animals. I am an empathetic, compassionate, and a loving animal person. I don’t care for just dogs, I am able to care for cats and small animals as well. I do overnights and drop ins, and am always looking forward to meeting new pets! When I am not working, I am spending as much time with your pets as I can. From having access to veterinary care, I know a few additional things; giving fluids, pilling, weighing, and giving liquid medications to cats. I look forward to snuggling your lovebugs! I’m currently working full-time, but for when I am out, your home is where I will be! I will be able to spend as much time with your pet as I can. I would be caring for the animal in your home with an immense amount of compassion and care! For when I am there, I keep myself tidy so your animal won’t be getting into anything unusual.

“Shayla has walked my dog Yogi twice now, and she has been great each time! Our meet and greet went really well, and when it rained on their walk, Shayla took the time to clean Yogi's paws and dry him off. I loved seeing the photos from their walk and playtime on the Rover Card. I look forward to using her again!”
