Dog Walkers in North Oxford, MA

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs and cats for over 40 years. I have experience owning multiple dogs and cats from puppies/kittens throughout their life. Whether young and vibrant or older and more fragile, all pets need special and individual care. I treat pets as friends and let them drive the experience. I am always up for meeting new friends and enjoying our time together. I am very flexible and can work around the needs of the pets and the owners. If I am listed as "available" on the schedule, then I can respond quickly. I ask questions and base the pet's care on the owner's guidance. I am happy to provide updates as often as the owner would like, including photos of their happy pet if desired. I also always respect people's property and space.

“I've had Kerri watch my dog overnight in the past, she was terrific. This time I mixed it up and she walked my dog a few times while I was at a wedding, she was terrific. As usual, I got updates, pictures, and came home to a happy healthy pup.”

About: I have owned dogs since I was born, and have experience with different breeds and needs. Experience with: Puppies-Senior Aged Dogs Dogs with multiple triggers and behavioral and reactivity I work full time but 4 days a week so I’m open on the weekends and Mondays if needed to hang out with your pup. I like to try and exhaust all the energy out of a dog (as long as they are healthy to do so). I have a large yard for pups to run around in- I also have a very long line in case your dog is a bolter. In your home, I meet dogs where they are at, if they want to run around outside I will do that, but if they want to roll around on the floor I can also do that with them too. Whatever makes them happy!

“Jessie was once again amazing with my dogs. She is incredibly reliable, sweet, caring, and responsible. She takes the time to really go above and beyond. I trust her and highly recommend!!!”

About: I am very open in my schedule and absolutely love dogs. I have grown up with at least one dog in my home my whole life and now own my own black lab mix. To me, pets are family! I have been a nanny for many years and all of the families have also had dogs that I would take care of simultaneously. I also worked for a few families to care for their dogs in the past assisting with feedings, play time, and walks. I have some experience training using a clicker as I have trained my own dog and know of little tricks. Dogs brighten up my day and I love being around them whenever I can. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of open time in my schedule to attend to your animals and give them lots of play time and attention! I offer caring for pets in my client’s homes and always make sure to ask about fenced in yards, safety precautions, allergies, and any other precautions the owner needs me to be aware of. I also only do walks on sidewalks or non busy roads when possible.

“Shelby is the best! We have a big dog and she is amazing with her. She is always willing to adjust the schedule or do an extra walk if we need her to.”

“Connor is amazing. I have talked to him twice on emergency situations and both times he has been responsive and very respectful. He was punctual to bring my Frenchie out. He was very communicative to tell me how the day went. I would 100% recommend him and have him take care of my dog too. Thank you, Connor!”

About: Hi, I’ve owned all types of animals my entire life like dogs, cats, bunnies and birds. I currently work at a pet resort, where I look after pets every day, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or feeding time. I treat every animal like my own. I’m also well trained in giving medications or any type of special care! I know how important your pets are, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work at a pet resort where I work all types of hours, from Tuesday-Saturday. I can work anywhere from 6AM-6PM but I’m very flexible with fitting you and your pups into my schedule! Since I have so much experience with animals, I’m okay with helping out with almost anything you need for your pets! Whether it’s cleaning, potty breaks, playing, feeding, medications. I’d love to just spend some time with your pet and be their friend! I do not take pets to my home as I have reactive animals, but I’m always okay with commuting to yours!

“Justin is the best dog walker I’ve had for my little Gia. She is American Pitbull Terrior who is so playful happy and sweet he helps get her energy out during the day while I’m at work. She does pull a little on the leash but Justin is really good about working with her on not pulling and a plus, he teaches her cool little tricks!! I would def recommend him to walk your dog!!”

About: Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! You clicked on THE absolute best pet-sitter you will ever find. My name is Amy, and I LOVE ANIMALS. I've had pets since childhood; dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, bunnies, fish, ferrets, and turtles. Most of my pets are rescued. I'm a great dog walker- I will take your dog for a lengthy walk, (or a slow stroll for my older clients) and I will provide him/her with attention, love, and affection. According to their needs, I can sit with your pet to offer comfort and companionship, or romp around on the floor or in the yard for exercise and stimulation. My visits can be tailored to your requests. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and committed. Your pet's health and safety come first. I will take pictures during my visits (or videos, if you'd like) so you know your pet is being cared for. If you have a cat, I will bring toys for stimulating activity, or simply sit with him/her and offer a comforting presence. I also care for gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, birds, and turtles. If you have fish, I will feed them, and give them attention. (Yes, I connect with fish.) I understand animals. I relate to them. I'm intuitive to their needs. And of course, I have great references. There is no better pet-sitter on the planet than me. I look forward to meeting you and your precious family member! I'm currently available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can be flexible in the morning, afternoon, or early evening hours. If you need more than one visit per day, that can be arranged as well. I will show up with great energy, a calming presence, and toys to play with (according to your pet's needs.) I'm not like other pet sitters- I really spend TIME with your pets. I'm intuitive and understand their needs. For younger pets, I offer lots of play and exercise- stimulation is important! I'm physically fit and would be happy to walk your dog if requested. After the walk, I will sit with him/her and offer my affection and attention. I will refresh their water bowl, feed them, (if requested) offer a treat, (if requested) brush them, play with them, or simply sit with them and be a calming presence in their day. It all depends on your pet's needs. I cater to their behavior and energy. If you have other pets in your home (gerbils, fish, turtles, bunnies, birds, etc) I would consider caring for them during your vacations. All to be discussed and negotiated, of course. As you can see from my profile, I'm very accommodating and flexible, and I offer a wide range of services.

“Rileigh was awesome. I had to make a last minute scramble for a walker and she came through for me. I was very impressed with her natural affection for Findlay and will definitely call on her again.”

About: My name is Taylor, but I go by Reya. I am looking to become more active and spend some time with some of your furry family members! I currently have a 12 year old cat named Sully, a 1.5 year old, deaf ACD named Cody and a 6 year old Pomeranian mix named Charlotte. I have spent the past 2.5 years dog walking under companies in Boston. I now work at a vet clinic as a receptionist. I miss spending my time outdoors and the hands on experience I gain with dog walking! I have experience with dogs with special needs (deafness blindness and some medical issues). I also have basic experience with training and dogs with behavioral difficulties. I have learned a lot about body language throughout the years and love to get a dog’s brain working on a walk to make it more enriching. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Most days I work 10 hour shifts, but on weekends and most Mondays, I am available regularly! Feel free to reach out and check on my availability! I have some experience with dog training through training my own dogs and working with training companies as a walker in the past, so I can use those skills to help take care of your dog! I am more than happy to encourage any training you are already doing! I do only participate in positive reinforcement, but am willing to discuss our options to keep everyone comfortable and happy. Any instructions you leave me with will be followed!

“Logan does a great job taking care of our pets, he is extremely reliable, responsive and his communication is clear. He is also very patient and shows a real connection with our dog and our cat. Fully recommended.”
