Dog Walking in Newburyport

“Charles, Teresa and their girls were very attentive and informative during Marty’s visits! I knew all of my animals (not just Marty!) were in caring and loving hands. They also helped wrangle my goats when we weren’t there to mend the fence and picked up any messes my rambunctious guy made. Thank you!!”

“Laura is a gem! I hired Laura to walk Ragnar while my husband was out of town for the week and I was working. She was prompt, excited, and ready for an adventure with treats at the ready every morning! Laura and Rags immediately bonded and he would come back tired and happy! I can’t thank Laura enough and will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Kathryn was so great with our dog Ruby. Ruby is a tricky girl to walk as she can be reactive to other dogs and Kathryn worked so well with her to keep her calm. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been doing drop in visits and walking for over a year now and I would love to do it more often. I’ve loved meeting different dogs and getting to know them and their personalities. I have always had pets in my life. I currently have four dogs and three cats. Because of them I have experience with grooming both dogs and cats, dog walking, feeding medications, cleaning litter boxes, handling large or reactive dogs, training, and more. I am available Monday through Friday and would love to have more jobs early in the morning or in the afternoon. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to look after your dog or cat! My dogs have a fenced in yard and free roam of the house. They are walked regularly and love to go to the beach and hike. My cats also love to go outside, but only if they are leashed and can be supervised. They have beds and litter boxes throughout the house, a water fountain, and can eat whenever they are hungry.

About: Aside from having dogs of my own since growing up, I’ve also had 15+ years experience with dog sitting, walking and drop ins! I love all dogs - big, small, young or old and would love to help provide comfort throughout your day by ensuring your pup is taken care of ☺️ I work from home full-time with flexibility in my schedule! I can be super flexible with last-minute requests or schedule changes should they align with both of our schedules! I have many years of experience caring for different types of dogs/animals in other peoples homes which means I understand the importance of sticking to routines and processes that work best for your dog within your space. I am very communicative and would always ask questions before making an assumption if there’s something I’m not sure about that is specific to your dog!

About: I have always had pets growing up. I currently have three cats and four dogs. I also have experience watching both cats and dogs. I would love to watch your pets too! I am currently available most days of the week. I work part time nights at a restaurant. On the days I work I am still available to watch/walk your pets before and after my shift. I can watch your cats or dogs whenever I am needed. I have done lots of dog walking in the past and am comfortable with any kind of dog. I would be happy to play with your dogs outside, take them for walks, and even just keep them company.

About: Hello! I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I have always had my own cats, dogs, rabbits, and even a hamster. I have a love and passion for caring for animals, so much so that I received my Bachelors Degree in Veterinary Sciences! I have experience working with all types of pets and I enjoy taking care of your fur babies <3. I can easily fit pet care into my schedule. I am a stay at home mom and enjoy spending time caring for animals 🫶🏼. I am available whenever you need me! I have a fenced in yard and would treat your pets with love, as if they were my own. I know how important our pets are to us, and I take animal care very seriously. I can't wait to shower your pet with extra love and hugs while you're away!

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and I love to hang out and take care of them and thought joining rover would be perfect for me! I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I am around on the weekends if needed for an overnight or a walk during the day! I have experience taking care of family members dogs while they are away and take care of my dog as well. I feel comfortable taking care of all dogs

“Maggie is great! Very calm, reliable, and a great communicator. And ... our dog gets excited when she arrives (which isn't true for everyone), so she is a great fit and we feel so comfortable when we know Maggie is with our dog!”

About: I have always loved dogs and eventually the begging worked when we got our first family dog when I was 7. Along with our own family dogs, I have taken care of many different dogs in my life, from Maltese to Great Dane, from 9 weeks old to 15 years old. I have dog-sat neighbor's dogs for weeks at a time, taken care of service dogs, and began fostering in 2020. I care for and love all dogs like they are my own and am learning more and more about training as I foster service dogs in training while at school! I am currently in school taking four classes so the majority of my time is free. I am available for walks/care about every day of the week except for 12:30-4 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The way I care for a pet varies between clients as sometimes I am asked to do simple training, while other times I'm told the dog is totally fine hanging out they just need someone to be home. I always follow the owners instructions/recommendations to ensure the best experience for all involved! I also do not typically feel comfortable letting dogs off leash outside unless the area is fenced in, I prefer to be on the safe side. Your dog will be in the best hands :)

About: Donna and I started taking care of dogs when we lost our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dutchin. We got her when she was 3 months old and she was our baby. When she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we couldn't bring ourselves to get another dog, but wanted to still experience the joy that dogs bring to our lives. We decided to provide both care and a safe, loving home for other people's pets while their humans are away or otherwise unable to care for them short-term. This way, we can give you peace of mind in knowing your best friend is safe and happy, and we get to interact with all kinds of dogs, which gives us great joy! Your friend will get all the love and attention you give them; and, well, if we spoil them a bit too much, sorry (not sorry)! We are both retired, so we have plenty of time to care for your pets whether in our home or yours. We are available for walks, drop in visits and overnight boarding in our home. When boarding with us, your fur baby will never be alone as someone is always home. We have a large fenced-in yard where your dog can run and play off leash safely. Are your pets used to making themselves at home on the couch? Not a problem! They are more than welcome to snuggle up on ours. If you wish to make your pet a little more at home, you may bring your pet's bed, toys and/or crate.

About: Apart from raising an all-white bearded collie from infancy to her departure, I have welcomed countless dogs of friends into my home and walked an equal number over the years. I rencently formalized my experience and love of the four-legged friends into a welcoming business where I can provide your dog with the best 'leash' on life with pampered care. As a communications consultant for non-profit cultural institutions, at this stage in my career, I only take two at a time, and they take a back seat to my four-pawed client. My work is flexible to accommodate daily walk-times (M-F) and availability for weekends and holidays. Dogs in my care overnight take priority for the period of the visit. I work with the owner to develop a care plan, including walks, playtime, and other requirements during the dog's stay. I only walk or sit with one dog at a time. There are no double bookings so I can provide complete attention to my charge.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifelong love of dogs and a deep understanding of their care. I grew up caring for our family dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, and I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks, feeding, and playtime to grooming, baths, and administering basic medications. Over the years, I’ve also provided reliable care for friends’ and family members’ dogs, including overnight stays. Whether your pup needs lots of play or extra snuggles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I am currently available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop in visits and overnight stays. I am working part time and my schedule is flexible. I believe in keeping the lines of communication open! I will keep you posted daily on how your pup is doing and any details of their experience or behavior that I think you should know. I will ask questions if I need more information and I would ask you to let me know anything you are wondering about while you’re away.

About: Growing up, a dog was always part of the family. Currently, my family and I have a goldendoodle named Leo. He is 3 years old and full of excitement. Senior dogs are extra special and am happy to cater to their needs while you are away. I currently work part-time as an Xray Technologist. Therefore scheduling walks/visits on Rover will be the perfect way to keep my schedule packed. Although my availability may change from week to week, I generally have multiple days a week that I am available to see your best friend. I will treat your pet like my own, keeping them safe and happy. I love dogs of all sizes and cannot wait to help you out!

About: I have been helping out friends with their pets for awhile and I had a lab that I took such good care of all of the time I work part time but am home the other half of each day. If I don’t have clients I am home all day anyways. I I have a small apartment but plenty of space to take the pet on a walk around the city. I can always take them to a park as well

“Julie was great ! She came within a few hours of making a request with her for the first time and Coby was happy to be with her . I’ll call her again.”

About: I've owned and been around dogs (and other pets) my entire life and love it! My dogs are my best friends and adventure buddies. I have also fostered dogs and plan to get back into doing that at some point. I love all breeds, ages, and sizes and find them to all have unique personalities just like people! Friends and family call on me frequently to help care for and train their canine friends or for advice because of my experience and knowledge in working with various temperaments, behavioral issues, and training. I provide much love and attention, but know when to be a stern pack leader to keep everyone safe and in check! I use positive reinforcement and correction/redirection over discipline and I believe a lot of exercise and encouragement can make any dog a "good dog." Dogs tend to love me and are responsive to my leadership style. Daycare and/or Boarding: I do meet & greets so you and your pup can meet me, my dogs, and sniff around my space before services begin. I’m currently only taking familiar dogs into my home (I.e. I will consider taking in those who I’ve cared for or walked). Please feel free to contact me with questions or suggestions - I want to do my best to meet you and your dog's needs. I currently work per diem so my schedule often leaves me entire days to be flexible and I love to fill my down time with furry friends I find the most critical care to be love, pats & praise, and structure & consistency. When it comes to others’ pets, I want to provide individualized care that is consistent with their daily life, so I try to incorporate owners’ standards and parenting styles. I recognize consistency is key to improve dogs’ understanding and reduce their stress. Let me know how to accommodate you and your pet.
