Dog Walking North Chicopee

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to Raven (7 female dog), and Miles (8 female cat) I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I would love to provide them with the same love and attention I give my own! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air and exercise. My home is used to being around both animals and kids. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs company, playtime, walks, or just a comfortable and caring place to stay, I will treat them like part of the family!

About: All my life I’ve had a variety of different animals all including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc. You name it, I have owned it. In some time spans all at the same time. I would love to take all this experience that I was fortunate enough to obtain throughout the years and bring it to your home! I am currently enrolled at the Western New England University. At the time being as I am on summer break I am looking for something to do to take up all this newly acquired time. As well as make some extra money to go towards my tuitions. Since I have a love for animals I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a cocktail. As you can imagine yes they can certainly be a handful but I couldnt imagine my life without them. Each and everyone being on a schedule of their own which is always never a problem.

About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have certain days where I can stay put at your home -- saturdays, part of sundays, mondays, and Tuesdays. The rest of the week, I work in chunks of the day, but have long days on Thursdays and Fridays. I prefer to spend every minute I possibly can with your pet though :) I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

“Milo had such a great experience today! 😊 Paisley was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cared about him. She made sure he got everything he needed, followed all of my instructions, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoy working with dogs, and Milo came back happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and will be continuously using her walking services. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy!”

About: Hello! I love all animals, and grew up specifically around cats and dogs. I’ve had two labs, a bichon frise, two golden australian shepherd mixes, and two cats. I’ve done overnight pet sitting, walking, and drop ins regularly since 2019. I am comfortable giving medication if needed, taking lots of walks and playing, and feeding. I want to accommodate your needs, nothing is too overboard when it comes to the ones you love! I’ve worked with everyone from Great Pyrenees to the little guys. I’m here to help you and I want to be as flexible as possible! I’m a Senior at Mount Holyoke College and available throughout the week, I’m flexible working around my class times and have a car on campus. I am away some weekends, typically Friday through Saturday, but no time away is set and stone, and I am here for you! I can be there bright and early or as late as you need as well. I am currently not able to host any pets at my home because I am dorming. However, I’ll treat your home as my own, and I am totally comfortable with cleaning any type of animal mess or even changing doggy diapers. I want you to feel at ease when you are away. I can always send updates and pictures, and I am very willing and flexible to meet all your needs.

“Lilit is amazing. My pups are ready for naps when they come back from their walks.”

About: My first responsibility I had as a 4 year old was feeding our family dog, Shannon. Since then, I not only helped feed, walk and care for my own pets, but have helped others as well. Whether it was classroom fish, or boisterous double-dog walks, I always love making a pet's day brighter. I take pets' well-being seriously and like to do all I can to make your pet feel at home and worry-free in your absence. During the school year, I have limited availability during evenings and weekends. During the summer and school vacations, I am available weekdays, weeknights, and on most weekends. I offer drop-ins for cats, dogs, bunnies, and other small animals. I also offer dog walking. I am an avid athlete so I am happy to take on energized dogs who like long walks. I have experience administering oral medication and injections.

“Awesome walker!”

About: It’s so hard to be away from your pup but having friends come in to visit and play makes the day feel not so long. I have had dogs my whole life. I just love their individual personalities. I typically work Monday through Friday and can pop in for an early morning visit and breakfast or stop by for a longer visit and dinner after work. My schedule is flexible so running over midway is possible if necessary. Weekends are generally wide open. I would like to work with you to meet your needs. I have 2 pups and 3 cats at home that love extra attention, playing and quiet snuggles. Nice long walks or a trip to the dog park could be a fun adventure. For cats, some scratches along the jaw line or kitty fishing can be an engaging way to interact.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.

About: With years of dedicated Petcare experience, I have developed a profound understanding and love for our beloved furry companions. From cuddles to walks, feeding to playtime, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care. I am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. Whether it's administering medication, adhering to dietary needs, or simply showering them with affection, I go above and beyond to ensure that each pet receives personalized attention and care. Trust me to be your pet's second best friend, offering reliable and compassionate Petcare services that will leave tails wagging and hearts content. I recently Took time off from work so I have open availability to take care of your furry family! Long walks, drop ins or even sitting for the day. In both my home and my client's home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of pets under my care. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease. I ensure they have access to clean water, nutritious food, and a cozy sleeping area. Regular exercise and playtime are incorporated into their daily routine to keep them active and engaged. Whether it's administering medication or following specific dietary requirements, I pay close attention to each pet's unique needs.

About: I’ve taken care of almost all kinds of animals since I was very young and I adore all pets and understand the necessity of pet sitters. I have done foster care for puppies, kittens, and special care senior animals alike. I’m a quick learner and dedicated to the absolute best for your pet. I’m also new to this app and am happy to negotiate on prices! My schedule can revolve entirely around your pet! I’m currently on summer break from my online college degree and am able to work flexibly depending on your needs. My only obligations are to take care of my own animals in the morning, evening, and midday. Which often is a quick routine and can be taken over by a loved one if necessary! I have an unfenced yard and hiking trail for walking dogs directly behind my apartment, I’m also close to a large field for stimulation if they need more activity and love going on hikes as well. I have 2 very friendly spayed female dogs and a spayed female cat, all of which love other animals. I have a crates for either my own animals or yours in a safe space. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed in my apartment.

About: I have cared for dogs since I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. Since then I have volunteered for several years at a wolfdog sanctuary. When I worked at Hawaii Volcano National Park I volunteered to walk the Park hunting dogs and clean their enclosure several times a week. A have dog sat for a very elderly,infirm English mastiff that could no longer stand on its own. I am very experienced in getting puppers to take medication. I have done house/dog sat for up to a month at a time for 2 dogs and 3 cats, making sure they are all fed and entertained. I absolutely adore animals, but particularly love dogs. I am happy when they are happy. I am currently working towards making pet care more of a career as I transition out of my current job. I am a government employee who is looking to make a change in my work life. During the current shutdown, I am available anytime for all pet care needs. I have just moved into my first home with my fiance! We have a fenced backyard and a nice walkable neighborhood. Inside all of the furniture is dog friendly, so your puppers can snuggle up if they wish or have room to themselves. My number 1 priority is the comfort and happiness of the dog and I will always do my best to provide a safe and fun environment for them.

About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 5 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 12 year old daughter who adores all animals! I work Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm but make sure your fur baby is tended to before and after work just as I do my own :) I have a fenced in yard which helps make sure they have lots of space for running around. During the daytime hours while I’m away, the dogs are kept safe in separated areas of the house but are always left with a comfy bed, food and toys. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are either kenneled (if crate trained) or separated when not being watched directly. Dogs are let out in the fenced in yard multiple times a day and are given tons of attention :)

About: Hi, my name is Marley, I am currently studying my graduate degree at Springfield College. Since I was 10 years old, I have volunteered at local dog and cat shelters whenever I have a couple open hours within the day: CPR (Companion Pet Rescue, Southbury CT), Heartland Humane Society (Corvallis OR), and Safe Haven Humane Society (Tangent OR). I have been dog sitting and cat sitting for local families for over 5 years just to help out and absolutely love it. I am always responsible of a pet’s health and prioritize them always. I currently have a part-time job where I do not work longer 5 hours in a day, I am also taking classes come September 24, but will easily prioritize checking in on your animals and making the time to care for them! I think that one of the most important jobs as a pet sitter is making sure nothing is rushed, which is why I spend as much time as needed with the animals I watch. I think it is crucial to make sure the animals are happy and healthy both when I arrive and when I leave. I love to take dogs on long walks, play with them outside, and give them the care they need (from feeding to outside time). As for cats, I think they deserve the same amount of attention and I will never pass up the opportunity to give a cat some pets!

About: I have taken care of multiple animals, from dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and even birds! I have always loved animals, there is nothing better than loving on an animal. I had fish and hamsters growing up. I have taken care of so many cats for multiple people and walked a ton of dogs for neighbors. I am so comfortable with giving animals medicine, even when they are not thrilled about it. I would love to love on your animals while you are away, have fun with them and make you and your pets feel secure while you are away from each other! I work full time at Baystate Medical Center. Full time for Baystate is only 3 days out of the week so I can be with your pet most of the time, I do work overnight, so I can take, let’s say your dog, out for a walk and feed them and all that good stuff before I work and be back first thing in the morning for when they wake up! Whatever you and your pet is comfortable with I can do. The last thing I would want is for you or them to feel uneasy or uncomfortable so whatever routine they are used to and like is exactly what I will do!

About: I have a 6 year old Jack Russel/Chihuahua that is the sweetest most loving girl! I have trained her myself since she was a puppy, I have learned SO much. I have a schedule that’s a little all over the place but I’m willing to work out different times through the week that best suits you and your dog. It’s something that would have to be discussed based on your wants and needs for your dog. All dogs are different, every dog owner is different. But I would be sure to feed, give them water and walk as needed.
