Dog Walking North Reading

About: I have experience caring for animals ranging from livestock, domestic pets, and more exotic types. I have received formal schooling regarding large animal care. I have owned many different animals through out my life and most of my work has consisted of animal care. I have been pet sitting specifically for about 5 years. I’m currently an online college student and only work part time so my schedule is very flexible. I am comfortable with early mornings and multiple visits a day I am comfortable with handling animals whether anxious or rambunctious. Cleaning up messes, crating, exercise, etc., I am comfortable with. I am educated on checking animals health states, along with making simple assessments such as vitals and physical presentation should an animal have any injury or illness.

“Catherine has been great with our 2 black labs the last couple of months. They get excited every time she comes to the door, because they know they're going for a nice walk. We are scheduled for 3 walks a week but with the holidays, snow days,and work from home days the schedule has fluctuated drastically. Catherine has been very accommodating. I highly recommend her services.”

About: Hi there, my name is Don and I am an experienced dog owner looking to help families in need of a dog sitter or walker. I figured this would be the best way for me to meet new dogs all the while helping people out! I am able to work from home several days of the week and my hours are quite flexible so I am happy to come up with a schedule that's best for you and your pet. At home, I stay in 1 bedroom condo which would be perfect size to house up to 2 dogs for short or long term.

Feel free to message me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you and your fury friend! -Don My work schedule is very flexible as I’m working from home most of the week. I’m an early riser and usually like to jumpstart my day with a walk. I take your pet’s safety and wellbeing to the upmost level and I’d treat them just as my own. I value the importance of communication so i’ll always send follow up texts and check in pics!

“Courtney was truly exceptional with my little anxious boy, Gus. She cared for him with so much patience, compassion, and genuine understanding. She went out of her way to ensure he felt safe and comfortable, even while he was struggling with separation anxiety and the challenges that come with it. It’s not easy to support a dog through that level of emotional stress, but Courtney handled everything seamlessly and with such kindness. I feel incredibly grateful to have found someone I can completely trust with Gus, especially during more difficult times. Courtney went goes above and beyond, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially those with dogs who need a little extra care, attention, and love.”

About: My mission is to give pets the exercise, care and love they need for both physical and mental health so they can live longer, healthier and happier lives. I succeed at this because I am a compassionate, energetic, and enthusiastic person. I am responsible, reliable and trustworthy as indicated in my references and experiences. In addition to these traits, you can expect the following from me; Punctuality - to ensure consistency for you and your pet. Stamina - I practice the postman's motto :) "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers (me) from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."(your pet's needs) Organization-free consultations to meet your pet before agreeing to paid services to understand Flexibility-you can always count on me when you are in a pinch. Great Customer Service- I will provide daily follow up feedback on your pet with pictures and text throughout the visit. Highest Rating on "Yelp” - Customer feedback and quality customer service is essential to a pet’s continued care. While your pet may not be able to communicate verbally, it is my expectation that through your pet's behavior with me you will interpret that to be the highest rating of satisfaction possible; I strive for nothing less day in and day out. I am available to travel to your home on daily, weekly or overnight visits/stays. I am also available to take your pet on appointments to the veterinary or groomers. I am happy to care for your pet in your home, as this is the most comfortable environment for them. However, should your have a dog who enjoys visits to the local dog park, I am comfortable with keeping your dog safe and happy in that setting as well.

“Tom is awesome! He was very patient and very kind to my "slow to warm up" beast. Tom was very good at communicating with me and came to walk my dog very consistently! I appreciated Tom's service and once I am able, I will be hiring him again. Thanks again, Tom!”

About: I am an absolute dog lover. I have 2 of my own, a bichon/shih tzu who I’ve had since I was 13 (she’s very old and doing great for her age) and a border collie mix who my partner and I rescued in 2020. She’s about 7 now, so also in her senior years. I have experience with leash training with her. I’ve lived with dogs all my life and love all types of dogs, big and small. I have various experiences looking after pets for family and friends, while also providing care to children through personal connections or the use of other reputable online care services. I hope to be able to look after your dog(s) and make them feel as loved as you do! I have a full-time job where I work in-office 3 days per week. My partner works fully remote and doesn’t mind helping out with walks when I’m in the office. We take our dogs outside about 4x per day, ensuring a longer walk in the afternoon/evening for brain stimulation! Living in an apartment complex, there is a small dog park area a short walking distance. Our dogs don’t enjoy that type of environment, so we don’t visit it, but we do have access to a walking trail so in the warmer weather we’ll frequent that for exercise with the dogs. When watching other folks’ dogs I usually avoid/limit the visiting dog’s interaction with other dogs for safety purposes. Our dogs are welcoming of other dogs, being older they take the coexisting approach and with time they’ll form their own little pack. My partner and I have both had dogs all our lives, so we know all dogs are different and have their own personalities and needs, which may vary in new situations/environments. We welcome the opportunity to take care of your dogs the same way you do!

About: I grew up with dogs and have almost always had one as an adult. I’m comfortable with all breed big and small and have trained many dogs, including stubborn pitties and enthusiastic goldens. I just adopted my foster pup Remy who is the best girl. I love dogs and will treat yours like they’re mine. I can’t wait to meet your pup and go for a frolic! I currently am unemployed and filling my days with walking pups and volunteering. My schedule if pretty flexible. I’m on a pretty standard schedule for wake up and walks. I live in a 2nd floor apartment of a 2 family, so I can’t take dogs out there for a quick pee. I go for 2-3 walks a day with my pup. I’m adaptable for your pups schedule when sitting.

“Claudine did an excellent job - right on time, walked Luna for a good amount of time, sent wonderful photos. We plan to book her again to walk Luna.”

About: I had a dog in my household throughout childhood, and after moving out on my own I got my very own sweet pup! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppy to senior. I am very patient with dogs and understand that each one is unique! I would treat your dog just like my own (and she's VERY loved and spoiled!!) I work full-time remote, so I am at home all day, every day! This gives me the flexibility to care for your dog and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I take my own dog on numerous walks throughout the day and take additional work breaks for some play time. :) I am easily adaptable and can care for your dog however is needed. I am happy to take them for long walks, or cuddle on the couch, amor romp around and play. I am also comfortable crating dogs as needed and can keep them on a consistent feeding schedule if you have one. (My own dog is on a feeding schedule and I know how important routine can be for them!)

About: For the past five years, friends and family have trusted me to not only to care for their pets but also to house sit while they’re away. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing and playtime ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need .

I am available Mondays and Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. On a weekly basis, I stay flexible to accommodate needs like walks, feeds, grooming, administering medication, playtime, or even just cuddles. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe environment where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m maintained regular feeding schedules provide plenty of playtime and ensure they have a cozy space to rest. In clients homes, I treat their space and pets with the same care and respect as I would my own. I follow their routines closely - feeding walking playtime and any special instructions- so pets experience as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the home stays secure and clean, providing peace of mind for pet owners while they’re away.
