“Kayla is an absolute rockstar and has helped us out in a very serious pinch already! Copper is always so excited to see her and she takes such good care while I work long hours! Book with Kayla!”
“I felt very confident when she was enthusiastic about setting up a quick meet and greet. She completed the walk despite a minor collar failure, and I appreciated her transparency with the situation. Professional, polite, and wonderful to work with!”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up so I’m very familiar with their needs and what makes them happy. Currently have a 5 year old Half American Pincher / Chihuahua. Very friendly and full of energy. Great with everyone and all kinds of animals. I currently work from home so I’m always available to around to make sure they are okay. We got for multiple walks a day and also visit the dog park near New Bedford High School regularly. My dog roams the apartment freely while I work. We do not cage our pet. ( no offense to those that do) He is also allowed on the furniture. He has plenty of toys and I also take him to a fenced in park where he runs around for an hour a day. We got for walks in the morning, during my lunch break and plenty of walks after work. We have a fenced in yard but it is rather small so we don’t do much there.
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.
About: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.
“I utilized Lynne for daily walks/checkins for my dog while I was at work. Lynne was beyond amazing. She was reliable and flexible with my schedule, I always knew I could count on her. My dog is older and has some health issues and limitations, Lynne was great at taking these into consideration when caring for Neela. She was very gentle and patient, and Neela loved her for it. I highly recommend Lynne and the services she provides.”
About: I took care of my friends pets for a few years in their home and in my previous apartment. I love animals and will take care of them well I work part time and am a student so I am available in the mornings and evenings. Weekends are completely free and available for me. I cannot take care of pets in my home but love taking dogs for walks and playing with your pet. I love animals and will take well care of them
“Naomi is wonderful! Walking our two dogs throughout the busy streets of Manhattan is not always a “walk in the park” but Naomi always seems to find great places and furrfriends to say hi to during the walks. She is so knowledgeable and patient with our rambunctious pups - we couldn’t thank her enough!”
About: I have had a dog my whole life and love playing with him, walking him, and running with him. I always take care of the dog I used to have and play with him all day long. He was very active and playful so I am used to dogs who are a little bit more energetic. I have a passion for animals and love being around them and having them in my house. I am super friendly and will always be willing to do whatever it is you need for your dog. I will provide many different things for us to do including: going for a walk around a park or even the beach. I will always accept any dog of a variety of sizes to walk and play with. I have also been walking with Wag! for about 5 months now and I love it! I love playing with the dogs bringing them for walks and just being around them. I can walk at night during the week and all day on weekends. I am a teacher so summers I am more free to walk more as well! I will do whatever is needed to provide the best care. I always follow instructions carefully and never forget anything! I always provide extra time for play and cuddles!
“Kristie was so kind with us and Snowball! She asked me questions on how she could take care and walk Snowball. Very responsible, great communication and EXTREMELY sweet! No questions about using her services again! Thank you Kristie! ❤️”
About: I've had all types of animals growing up. From small critters to dogs. Currently own 2 cats named Sasha and Coco, chickens and have 3 freshwater fish tanks. I've house/pet sit for friends over the years. I have pretty good flexibility everyday for short visits > 2 hours. I have two young children in school so depending on time frame one might have to accompany me but if not needed I can work around it. My cats are pretty self sufficient as cats are but they are fed every morning and evening and get treats. They are indoor cats aged 7 and 8. I feed fish daily and do water changes once a week as Maintenance. Chickens are a bit more daily maintenance with cleaning out coop everyday and filling water and feeder but it's rewarding (especially with getting eggs)
About: I’ve had many pets as a kid, I love the company of animals! Fun fact I am CPR and BLS certified, and I am a Certified Medical Assistant! Summer time is approaching so i am now free mostly everyday! mornings and noon time are perfect for me and my schedule at the moment!! I am a big sister so i’m always taking care of the young ones! I care for pets in anyway shape or form I can to ensure their comfortable!
About: I understand the challenges that come with finding someone to care for your furry family while you’re out of town, or otherwise unable. I have had dogs my entire life, with a range of behaviors. My dog now is a high energy pup who loves other dogs, but growing up I had a chow who did not feel the same. I understand different dogs might need to be loved differently, and I’m happy to help with anything they might need. I can provide both regular or one time help depending on your location and schedule needs. Locations in Wareham/onset/Marion I can easily come by over lunch or before/ after work. Anywhere else I am happy to help but might need to nail down a good schedule. Weekends are easy and I’m happy to spend them with your cuties! I live in an apartment, frequent the dog park and take my own dog on 3-5 walks a day. My dog Lucy is family, and your dog will be too. My cat, Charles, is of course also family but he’s a tough cookie so don’t worry about me with your temper-mental furry babes. I will make sure they get tons of cuddles (unless their like Charles and prefer only words of affection) and love while your gone, and update you on how everything is going in whatever way you prefer!
