Dog Walking Newbury

About: I have a sweet beagle that was rescued 7 years ago. I am fully responsible for his care, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, etc. I always check him for ticks after visiting a park and know how to safely remove them. I enjoy going for long walks, especially in summer, so would be glad to give your dog exercise. My kids have had goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, which are all fun to play with, and I would be glad to care for your less-typical pets, if needed. I have even cared for lizards and snakes. I am a teacher, so have loads of time available in the summer. During the school year, I am available most weekends and after 4 on weekdays. I always keep dogs on leash when walking them...you never know when a squirrel or other dog will come by or how they will react.

“Gay was awesome! We were staying in our RV at a local campground and wanted to do a day of sightseeing. Gay came to out RV twice, then nice to meet our pup and us, and then again to walk the dog while we were away. She was kind, helpful and obviously loves dogs! Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of new puppies and also senior dogs who need special attention and care. I have experience giving dogs medications as well (including my own pups)! Currently I am fostering a kitten who requires medications every morning and night. I also have 2 dogs and one other cat at home, so I spend a good amount of my time cleaning, feeding, caring for and walking pets. I would prefer going to clients home due to me having a territorial dog at home, who doesn’t take his crate very well. He is a sweetheart, just unpredictable sometimes!

About: My goal is to make sure that pet parents like me have someone they can trust to help care for their babies. I have two years of experience working at a boarding/daycare facility where I was a supervisor for 1.5 years there, this means that I have experience working with dogs who need to take any type of medication- like insulin. I have been working at an animal shelter for 6 months where I’ve grown to learn more about the body language of dogs which has made me more confident in making sure the animals are comfortable and I can tell when they are starting to get overstimulated. I treat every fur baby like my own just as I would hope anyone else would mine. I am currently doordashing, actively seeking more work. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to do last minute drop in’s if needed! I have a fenced in property where your dogs would be safe from getting out and wandering around, I have 3 very social dogs who love to have friends but I could also keep everyone separated if that is what’s needed. I also have crates if your pet needs to go in one. If I were to be at my clients home I would make sure that your pets are able to go potty at a scheduled time either going in your backyard or bringing them on a walk to get everything out of their system. I can make sure that your pet will not have anything in their area that could hurt them or be eaten which could cause more damage as well.

About: Since I was 11 years old putting dog walking flyers on my neighbors porches, I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. I still have people contacting me to cat or dog sit for them, and they love to recommend me to their friends. I love animals, and I know how to handle them safely and responsibly. From working with horses to dolphins, I have been around many different animals. I have owned reptiles and guinea pigs as well as dogs and cats, I have been working with and riding horses since 2018, and every summer since around 2020 I have gone to the Florida Keys and learned about training dolphins, I have aged out of that program now. I also volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger. I am looking for a job to use my skills with animals. I work at a veterinary practice for a large animal veterinarian currently on Wednesdays and Fridays. I am looking for another job that I can work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I can also do weekends if you are looking for someone who will stop by and take care of your animal for 30 minutes to an hour, but I like to have time on my weekends to spend with my loved ones, so the activities that take longer I would like the save for weekdays. I promise to love and take care of your animal as if it is my own until their favorite person comes back! I have my own reliable transportation, I can take your dog to a dog park if it is dog friendly, or I have a lot of land at my house. I also could take it to any walking paths. I know how to handle animals of all temperaments, and I am a good communicator and will keep you updated. I would love the opportunity to take care of your animal! I work at a veterinary practice part time on Wednesdays and Fridays and I generally start early in the morning around 7, and it’s a 40 minute drive. My hours can vary but I’m usually done sometime before 4pm. I can do drop by visits on those days early in the morning and after 5pm. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I can do dog walking, dog sitting, or doggy day care at my house! Anything that generally takes a decent amount of time I can do on those days. On the weekends, I can do house visits for 30 minutes to an hour, but I would like to keep my weekends open as much as possible to spend time with friends and family and go to the barn. I have my own cat as well as 4 other cats, an english bulldog, and a french bulldog owned by my boyfriend’s family that I live with. I generally feed and take care of my cats and the other cats, but I used to pet sit for them and took care of their dogs as well. As far as caring for animals in my own home, I live on 8 acres of land, some of which is a field blocked off by tree line that would be a perfect place to play. I also have a fenced in concrete and grass area for the dogs to use the restroom. I have crates in my house where I can separate dogs if needed. I also know of lots of places to walk dogs, and live by a couple of dog parks. As for care in a clients home, I have lots of experience. I can do litter boxes, feed and water animals, and give enrichment and treats if requested by the owner. I can also let dogs outside on leash, or in a fenced in backyard. I’d rather be safe than sorry, so I avoid taking a dog off leash if they do not have a fenced in or secluded area. I can take them on walks around your neighborhood as well. I am also willing to take care of exotic animals or livestock, as I have plenty of background in that as well.

“Just had our first walk and she was as very patient with my two dogs that were a bit confused by walking with someone else for the first time.”

About: With seven years of experience, I provide reliable, loving care for pets, including feeding, walking, and administering medications! Your pets will be in good hands!! I am currently an undergraduate student at Tri-C. I schedule feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure pets’ needs are met consistently!

I have worked with clients who have electric fences, a tie out in their yard, or have simply walk their pets to use the bathroom. I am open to anything!

“Chloe was amazing! She was great with Ziva and sent me photos of their walk. She's reliable, responsible, and definitely loves dogs. Ziva was tired and happy when I came home. I would definitely contact Chloe again!”

“Christy is fantastic! She jumped right in when I needed someone last minute and I am so happy to have found her. She does very well with my pit bull mix Jameson. He can be difficult sometimes, but Christy seems to take it all in stride.”

About: Hello! I have helped friends and family take care of their pets for years. I would love to spread the joy with you as well. Currently, I am waiting for the school year to begin so I have the possibility to do multiple drop ins. My hours range from 5am to 12am. I live in a gated community with a large backyard. I believe it’s the perfect amount of space for running, playing fetch, or just lounging.

“Randy walked my dog today, and I have to say I was nothing more than impressed. I got multiple pictures and constant communication. I really appreciate Randy walking my dog in the time that I needed. I will be reusing Randy’s services whenever I need someone to walk my dog that I can trust. Thank you, Randy.”

About: I spent most of my childhood at neighbors’ houses helping walk, play with, and care for their pets. I always knew I wanted one of my own, and when I finally got my dog, people constantly complimented his obedience and sweet, playful personality. I’m a dependable, active, and patient pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I don’t just stop in and leave, but I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and real care. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I typically work from home and live near parks, so I look forward to taking your pet(s) on walks, snuggling, and playing with them. I have a fenced in yard, but I always supervise my pets when they are outside. I keep my pets occupied constantly with frozen Kong toys, frozen lick mats, interactive toys, single ingredient treats, single ingredient bully sticks, etc.

“Dejaun is amazing!!! He was sooo good with my Bernedoodle! Dejaun is attentive, sweet and our pup loved him. He was on time and very responsive. He also sent me videos and pics every day! Thank you Dejaun! We found our go to from now on. :)”

About: I’ve had a wide array of animals my whole life. Nothing gives me greater joy to take good care of my pets and to see them happy, healthy and thriving. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of other people’s pets because I know how busy life can be and I would love to help out with keeping all animals happy and thriving. I’m currently working part time so I would have lots of time to keep your pet fit, happy and healthy. I am available for walks/check-ins all week long. I strive to give my 2 senior chihuahuas and my cat the best life possible. I have always kept my dogs active and they are 15 and 12 years old and thriving. I believe dogs need walks every day and unfortunately a lot of people have busy enough schedules that’s not always possible. That’s where I come in to help!

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Currently, I have 2 dogs and a bunny. I adore animals and enjoy quality time with them. They are family and deserve the best… I’ll treat your best friends like my own! Experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a very flexible schedule. Pet sitting and walking is something I do because I enjoy it. i am available most times of day, 7 days a week. I am comfortable with enclosed fencing, invisible fences, leashes and tie outs. Whatever your pet is used to will work for me. I am responsible, dependable and very careful to make sure your home and pets are safe.
