Dog Walkers in Myricks, MA

About: I love to pet sit and walk dogs, as well as house sit. 🏡🪴 I have been doing this for quite a few years now, all through college and into my adult career, with experience at several different homes/with several different pets. I work a hybrid/remote schedule with flexibility to stay at your home to watch your pets overnight. I have experience with reactive dogs, two and three dogs at a time, cats, small animals such as guinea pigs, and elderly dogs, and I can provide references if you’d like. I treat your pets and your home like they are my own! I have a hybrid/remote schedule at my current full-time job in higher education, which allows some flexibility in terms of working location during the week and pet sitting after work and on the weekends as well. In your home, I follow the routine of your pet(s) just as you do, and I treat your home with respect, leaving everything as I found it.

About: I am a retired Probation Officer in Masachusetts, but animals are my true passion. I have cared for my friends and neighbors cats, dogs, and rabbits. I am willing to care for any animal with no breed restrictions. I have a Senior rescue cat who is the joy of my life, and the only reason I am not offering home care at this time as he is a very happy and loved only child. I am not sure how he would react to another pet in the home, and he is my first priority. :) I am recently retired, and I am available most days and evenings to care for your pets. I will send plenty of photos and always keep you updated on your pets during visits. I bought my senior cat two sets of stairs because I saw that he was struggling to get off the bed. I bought one set for him to get on the bed and one set to put beside his condo so he could just go straight over to it. He prefers to hang out on the stairs instead of his condo so he can spy on my neighbors. LOL I love animals, and I love to make them happy and to make their lives easier. I will treat any client's pet like my own and spoil them rotten!

“Candi has been such a blessing to our family. She communicates before and after each walk, sends multiple pictures, and is very kind and reliable. She was open to helping train our 1yr old rescue dog and provides much feedback regarding their progress. We are comfortable with Candi driving our dog to the local walking trail since our neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks. Candi is an asset to Rover and I know our pup agrees.”

About: What sets me apart is my extensive background as a veterinary technician. I started in animal shelters and later worked in veterinary practices, caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience gives me confidence handling everything from energetic puppies who need structure and reinforcement, to senior pets requiring medication, patience, and gentle care. I’ve fostered more animals than I can count, which has given me a strong understanding of behavior, transitions, and how to make pets feel safe and secure in new environments. Although I’ve recently changed careers and returned to school, I deeply miss being around animals. My own pets have crossed the rainbow bridge, and caring for others’ fur babies truly fills that space in my heart. Pet sitting isn’t just a side job for me — it’s something I genuinely love. I live in a loving, multi-generational home where pets truly become part of the family. There is almost always someone around, which means plenty of supervised attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs staying with us receive lots of love, playtime, and, of course, belly rubs. They are never left feeling alone and are spoiled in the very best way — with structure, safety, and tons of positive interaction. My goal is to provide a warm, home-like environment where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to plan my days around the pets in my care. I’m available most days and evenings, and I’m happy to accommodate overnight stays, drop-ins, or daytime care. If you need something specific, just reach out — I’m always willing to see if we can make it work! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, I have a large yard for leashed walks and supervised outdoor time. We also have a wonderful, quiet area right on my street that’s perfect for longer, structured walks. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m very comfortable monitoring behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and administering medications if needed. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I follow your routines closely to keep them feeling secure and at ease. While you’re away, your pet won’t just be “watched” — they’ll be cared for, exercised, and loved like part of the family. I truly aim to give them a safe, happy experience that feels like their own little vacation.

“My dog got a cut on her ear walking in the woods, and Brittanie responded perfectly. She reached out to me, we discussed what to do, and she waited for my sister to arrive. Turned out to be very minor, but I was so grateful she was extra cautious and communicative. I feel really comfortable with her caring for my Millie.”

“Louis did a great job. He came prepared for the meet & great with some treats ready. Neither of my dogs likes strangers in the house - they often take awhile to approach male visitors - they warmed up to Louis' calm approach. He came prepared for the walks as well, with his own backup harness to handle two dogs at the same time. They all came back happy and were happy to go with him for the second round a couple days later. I would recommmend Louis to anybody needing a 'walker.'”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and all have lived healthy long lives. I've pet sat for friends and family. I think all pets should have the chance to stay in the comfort of home and be cared for while their owners are away. During my school year (September to June) I am available weekends and during school breaks. During the summer months I'm available daily. I look forward to discussing options with you. I treat all pets as if they're my own. I have a little boy who can't get enough puppy/dog time. I'd love for him to join me and learn more about pet care for when he gets his own dog. We have an elderly dog currently and he wants a puppy. We will be kind, playful, and loving to your fur baby.

“Taylor is very flexible and accommodating when I need her to take care of my dog. She takes great care of Emmy Lou and always has great things to say about her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing her services.”

About: What sets me apart is my dedicated care, ensuring pup safety and happiness! I'm skilled in handling various breeds and temperaments, providing reliable service with passion and fun! I love going on walks - with a cute puppy by my side, and maybe a frisbee to throw! I've experienced pooch-care while growing up and at shelters! Check out my calendar, I am open and available! Let's chat to set up a date and time that works best for you and your furry friends! Caring for pets in either my own or someone else's home involves several key practices: 1. Safety and Comfort: Ensuring the environment is safe and comfortable for the pet, with secure areas and appropriate amenities. 2. Routine Care: Providing regular feeding, watering, and bathroom breaks according to the pet's schedule and needs. 3. Exercise and Play: Engaging pets in physical activities and playtime to keep them active and entertained. 4. Medical Attention: Monitoring the pet's health, administering medications if needed, and being attentive to any signs of distress or illness. 5. Affection and Attention (My favorite!): Offering companionship, cuddles, and positive interaction to make the pet feel loved and cared for. 6. Communication: Keeping pet owners informed about their pet's well-being through updates and photos, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. By following these practices, I aim to provide a nurturing and secure environment that meets both the physical and emotional needs of the pets entrusted to my care.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with both dogs and cats as part of our family. My childhood was filled with the joy of caring for and playing with our pets, which helped me develop a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. As an adult, I continue to nurture that love for animals. I regularly take care of my neighbor’s dog and cat whenever they go on vacation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I make sure they’re comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are away. I have also previously house sat for friends while taking care of their two dogs for several years whenever they went away. I work from home several days a week and I am around on most weekends with my family. I'm able to accommodate morning, afternoon and evening requests. When I care for your pets in your home, I make sure to follow a routine that keeps them comfortable and stress-free. I’ll start by reviewing any specific instructions you have regarding feeding, walking, or other care needs, ensuring I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I always provide lots of attention and affection, while also respecting their space and personality. If your pet enjoys playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll be sure to spend quality time engaging with them. For dogs, I’ll take them on regular walks, provide playtime, and make sure they get enough exercise and mental stimulation. For cats, I’ll ensure they have their food, water, and litter taken care of, as well as spend time with them if they enjoy companionship. I’ll also keep an eye on their health, watching for any signs of stress or discomfort and acting quickly if needed. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you can rest easy knowing they’re in great hands.
