Dog Walking New Boston

“Lauren has been wonderful with Ike. She is very responsive, communicates clearly, and is always patient with him. Since Ike is a shy boy, I really appreciate the time and effort she puts into helping him feel comfortable. With each visit, Ike has become more relaxed and confident around her, which speaks volumes about her caring and gentle approach. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.

About: I have a Master’s degree in Biology and currently work in a management role, bringing reliability, organization, and strong communication skills to everything I do—including pet care. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even bunnies. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting for a wide variety of animals throughout college and beyond. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered my time walking dogs at a local animal shelter and have supported animal welfare through holiday donation drives. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I genuinely value. I’m also an active runner currently training for a half marathon, so I’d be more than happy to take high-energy dogs out for runs or extra-long walks to help them burn off energy and stay happy and healthy. I’m using Rover as a way to give back while doing something I love. I’m fundraising for two meaningful causes as part of my upcoming runDisney half marathon at Disney World: Hope Story, which supports individuals with Down syndrome, and Experience Camps, which provides free camps for children who have lost a parent or sibling. I’m just $1195 away from my goal, and every booking helps me get closer while continuing to provide loving, dependable care for pets. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. My son will be attending school this summer and I’m looking for additional ways to earn some extra money. I have a rescue pit-mix named Jetta who enjoys our acre and a half backyard. I am reliable and will show respect in client homes, if drop in visits are preferred.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life — from puppies to senior dogs who just want a cozy spot and a slow walk. That range of experience means I'm comfortable handling whatever your dog needs, whether that's patient potty training, managing high energy, giving meds on a schedule, or just knowing when an older pup needs extra rest and gentle care. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, quirks, and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for the whole time we're together. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority — I treat every pup like my own. I'd love to meet your dog and give them the same love and attention I've given dogs my entire life! I am currently working from home and get to make my own schedule, so I can tailor it to your pet sitting needs! If you need a specific time a few days a week I am happy to accommodate! Drop-In Visits: When I come for a drop-in visit, I stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. That means feeding on schedule, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, and playtime or cuddles depending on what your pet enjoys. I always do a walkthrough to make sure everything's secure before I leave, and I'm happy to send photo or text updates so you know your pet is happy and taken care of. Dog Walking: For walks, I focus on making sure your dog gets safe, enjoyable exercise at a pace that suits them. I pay close attention to leash manners, weather conditions, and any specific instructions you give me (routes to avoid, reactivity to other dogs, etc.). I always bring water and waste bags, and I make sure your dog is safely back inside with fresh water before I head out. In both cases, I treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own — respecting your space, following your instructions closely, and prioritizing your pet's comfort and safety above all else.

About: I started pet sitting for friends in 2021 while covid precautions were still in place, and since then I've helped many friends whenever they were heading out of town for a while. I've always had a knack for getting along with cats, dogs, and other animals, even those who are shy or aggressive at first. Your pet's needs are my priority. I will review all of your provided instructions with you so that I may ask questions and make sure we're on the same page. And, if anything ever seems wrong, I'll make sure you know immediately so that you can make informed decisions regarding your pet's care. I believe every pet has a good heart - they just need the right care and attention to let that shine through! I work part time on a pretty flexible schedule, so I can always make time for your animal companions! I specialize in keeping pets comfy and cared for so that you can rest easy on vacation :) I pay close attention to and respect both behavior and body language - this keeps everyone safe, and allows me to inform you right away if something requires your attention.

“Jackie is GREAT! She is punctual and very sweet with my pups. She took the time to learn their personalities which is helping them feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Jackie for your pet care needs.”

“Carissa was great! From the meet and greet to the daily pop ins and walks. Jett was very nervous, this was his first time being alone without us in the house. We were able to watch her sit with him and just pet, comfort and console him when she was there. She paid attention to the details and followed the instructions and asked questions. She sent pictures of him and updates.”

“Thank you, Nicole for doing such a great job with our dog Ruby. She's a senior dog that needs lots of special care, and Nicole was great with Ruby.”

About: As a family of animal lovers, we provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your pets. My 11-year-old and 15-year-old children absolutely love animals and enjoy helping give them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. We have a large yard where dogs can safely run and play, and we make sure they get regular walks and exercise. Have had experience with animals, including a senior dog all my life. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule (adjust as needed), which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do not have a fence but will go out with your dog and take it for a walk. My kids look for dogs to pet and play with everywhere. Exercise is something I am trying to do in the summer, let me watch your dog and take them for a walk.

About: I have grown up with dogs, and have years of experience volunteering at humane societies. I have handled dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and I love them all! I am currently going back to school and have availability on most days, although it does vary by semester. Animals are a huge part of my life and I cherish the time I get to spend with them and strive to provide them with the best possible care. It can be stressful when their owners are gone, so making their experience special and something to look forward to is important to me. Pet safety always comes first. I make sure animals are secure in their leash, do not escape, are kept at a distance from other animals (unless socialization is requested), and do not ingest anything dangerous. I am careful about keeping germs from spreading between pets and will always wash or sanitize my hands before touching your pet, will sanitize any toys I bring, and only use clean towels if they are necessary. Cat and dog body language is a special interest of mine, and I make an effort to interpret the signals of your animal and adjust my behavior to make them more comfortable if necessary. I believe in being gentle, kind, and encouraging with my tone of voice and actions. Pets pay a lot of attention to people, and can be sensitive to their reactions. For dogs: -I will follow your instructions for any walks/feeding/playtime -Unless instructed otherwise, I like to let dogs make a lot of the decisions about where we go on a walk and have lots of opportunities to stop and sniff. Smells are so important to dogs and are a major way their brain stays active and enriched. -I can handle strong pullers and fast walkers. -I am happy to reinforce any training goals or commands that you are working on with your dog if you would like. -I supply my own poop bags. -I have a couple of kong balls that I will bring (sanitized between dogs) if you are ok with your dog playing with them at our visits. I find for ball-motivated dogs, it can be a useful distraction and also a fun way to make their visit more exciting with a novel toy. -If approved by the owner, I bring 100% chicken treats that I can use to make them more comfortable or reward good behavior. -I will keep you updated on the appearance of their stool to make sure you know if anything is out of the ordinary for them. -I monitor how much panting and heavy breathing a dog is showing in the heat, especially in short-faced dog breeds. -If we walk through mud or rain, I bring a towel to wipe paws and towel off before coming inside. -I am experienced with elderly dogs and am careful of their joints and hips when handling them or asking them for certain movements. -I have experience with reactive and resource-guarding dogs. I pay extra close attention to any body language and the dog's individual cues in these cases, and have protective gloves if they are necessary in an emergency. For cats: -Cats have a very special place in my heart. They are all so unique, which makes getting to know each individual so rewarding. -I approach each cat at their comfort level. Sometimes a cat needs to watch me in their environment for a bit until they feel ready to come close. Some cats can be enticed by play. Some are won over with brushing or petting. Some will not be comfortable to come out for anyone except their person, and that is fine! -If approved by you beforehand, I can bring some of the many toys my personal cats have no interest in (washed before hand) to give them some novel enrichment while you're away. -I can also offer them some 100% chicken treats if you give the ok beforehand. -I have experience giving oral medication, subcutaneous fluids, eye or ear drops, brushing reluctant cats, removing mats, nail trimming, and retrieving cats from hiding places if necessary. I recommend doing a meet and greet session before our first visit, but if you provide me with instructions, I am also comfortable with visiting an animal on short notice. I look forward to meeting your animals! I'm in school and my schedule will vary somewhat each semester, however I currently have lots of availability. Let me know what times you need! I am happy to follow any instructions provided. I will take dogs out for walks for as long as is requested. We will walk close to the dog's preferred pace. I do not allow the dog to interact with other people or pets unless otherwise indicated. I may give the pet a treat at the end if you approve ahead of time. I leave the home in the same condition as it was when I arrived, barring any other requested tasks. If I take your pet for a walk on a muddy day, I will clean them after with my own hypoallergenic pet wipes. If I notice anything amiss, such as a limp while walking or other possible health concern, I will notify you immediately.

“Finding someone I trust to walk/hang out with my dog every day was a huge deal, and Kodi has been amazing. My dog absolutely loves their walks, and I always come home to a happy and relaxed pup. Kodi is super reliable, always on time, and very flexible with changing schedules. It's such a relief knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: With years of experience working at a pet store, taking care of friends pets while they're out of town, and even my own furry kids I feel confident in my abilities to be there for your pets when you need me to. I am currently trying to work for myself via a couple different avenues. What does this mean for you? I have open availability to fit in your and your pets schedule perfectly! I am a very open communicator! If I have questions or concerns I will reach out to you. I am a firm believer in treating people how you want to be treated and that will translate with how I interact with your pets and home!

“Vinny was great with my dogs and my pets all seemed to like him, including my cats. He knew a lot about dogs and was able to walk and care for my two very well.”

About: Hi, I’m your pets soon to be new best friend! 🙂 I have years of pet care experience and enjoy spending time with and caring for animals. I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was a kid, as well as family and friends pets throughout the years. I was also a professional dog walker and pet sitter in NYC for 10 years before moving back home to Michigan 5 years ago. I have done fostering and rescue work over the years as well, so it’s safe to say I love animals. I currently have a rescue dog and cat of my own that are my babies. I have experience with all dog breeds and puppies to seniors, as well as cats. I have even cared for birds, fish, and rodents over the years. I have a soft spot for the seniors and have a lot of experience caring for them. I love and respect all animals and will treat yours as if they are my own. I am self employed so my schedule is totally flexible and I am able to devote all of my time caring for your beloved pet. At my home I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run and play in. I also live near a Metro Park I can take your dogs for walks in if that’s something you would like. For stays In your home I will follow instructions on care for your dog whether you just want playtime in the yard or you would like us to go out on walks. I will follow the routine they have for feeding and potty breaks. For both I will provide updates throughout on how they are doing and will be available to be contacted if you would like to check in at anytime. My goal is to make you and your pet as happy and at ease as possible 🙂

“We’ve recently contacted Kacie for over night stays but also for walks. She is kind and very responsive. I’m excited for our pup Kiki to be in such good care. Thank you Kacie!”
