Dog Walking Northampton

“Tanya is terrific. She is conscientious and caring. She followed up with me and led me through the process to ensure she knew everything needed. And she took great care of our dog. Trusted her completely and our dog was absolutely comfortable. I would absolutely work with her again.”

“Thomas did an excellent job walking and giving our dogs attention. We have a pittie and hound dog mix. Both can be high energy at times and Thomas walked both of them together with ease. He also gave them play time in the yard if they still had energy. I really appreciated his use of the report card, attaching photos and notes for the day. I was at total ease during my business trip. I knew my pups were happy and tired after a midday play date with Thomas. I would 1000% use him again and recommend him to others.”

About: I've worked in multiple areas of animal care including breeding and puppy development, dog daycare, and veterinary care. I have experience caring for all different breeds and ages of dogs! I don't have much professional experience with cats, but I have lived with many cats throughout my life and am a huge cat lover! I do not have any pets myself as I recently lost my dog. So i am in serious need of some dog time! I am available any time after 2:00pm sunday-thursday and all day friday and saturday(: some days i am available earlier than that, typically sundays and mondays im available around 12:30-1:00pm. I am happy to accommodate any of your pet's needs! I can walk, play, just give love, whatever makes your baby feel the most enriched and happy. I know every dog and cat has their own specific needs and I'm very dedicated to that! I live in a small studio apartment. There is plenty of great space to take walks near my house (i live right on the bike trail) but i do not have a fenced in yard. If this sounds like it could be suitable for your pet, i'm more than happy to board them(:

“Ash was so nice and dealt with quite a few logistical changes in walk coordination. Prudence was so grateful for the walks. Thanks again Ash!”

About: I have loved dogs since I can remember—I used to read dog encyclopedias as a kid! My own dog and sidekick, Miguel, is a cute rescue with a pronounced underbite. He lives with my family far away, so I am excited to provide services (walking, dog sitting) for pets nearby! Over the summer, I am working remotely and thus have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am never away from home for more than two hours at a time. All dogs who have stayed at my apartment have been treated as my own; no couch or bed is off limits! 3+ walks a day, and a dog park nearby!

About: I am a lifelong lover of animals, and have always felt truly connected to non-humans. I've been caring for pets for most of my adult life, and my first memory of caring for animals was on my aunt's farm in Louisiana as a 5 year old. I have experience caring for most all types of household pets, and experience with a wide breadth of dog and cat breeds. I have cared for pets with illnesses, specific dietary restrictions, and all sorts of quirks and routines. I have experience bathing pets, administering medication, and helping animals on the shy side warm up to me and feel safe. With animals, no ask is too large, as all pets are different and have their own special needs. I take pride in ensuring I approach all animals in my care with attentiveness, empathy, and love. I work part-time, so I have very open availability to pet sit, house sit, walk dogs, care for cats, etc.! I am available for overnights, mornings, nights- whatever your need is, I can likely accommodate! Whether I am at my house or am house sitting for a client, I ensure pets are comfortable, stick to routines, and do what I can to calm any separation anxiety.

“Heather was great with our sweet senior dog Ashley. She was very flexible and was even able to come an extra time to help out. Highly recommend.”

Susan Elena E.

“Kristin is awesome. My dog is reactive and she had treats ready for him to calm him down upon meeting him. It’s nice to trust your dog walker and I will definitely utilize her services again.”

Maddie M.

“Responsive, kind, courteous, and was great with my pup who had a bit of extra enthusiasm because of being cooped up inside with sickly me all morning. Took Calcifer through some snowy trails in our backyard with ease and aplomb, leaving me with a pup ready for cuddles while I slurp my soup. I couldn't be more grateful for the help!!!”

Anastasia D.

“Lovely, courteous, complimentary to our pup (who doesn't love a dogsitter that identifies and praises all our dog's best features?!?), and a really good sport hanging out with Calcifer on a muggy, hot, tick-filled day. Thanks!”

About: With dogs especially, I have worked at a dog daycare for 6 years while also doing my own overnights for the last 10 years. I mainly choose to do sitting rather than boarding, but the right dogs would also be okay at mine. I have a fenced in yard and great neighborhood for walking. Dogs are what I picture my future looking like. I’ve done basic training classes with certifications, but nothing specialized. I love dogs of all ages and feel very lucky to have been able to spend time with as many as I have over the years. I recently quit my job I no longer loved to get back into working with dogs. Going back to work and being gone for 8 hours/day was extremely difficult after having worked with dogs for so many years previously. I have a fenced in yard and my own dogs to either keep yours company or who also love to go spend time at their grandparents house. While I mostly prefer to sit over boarding, the right dogs are more than welcome in my home. There are 2 other humans that live with me who are also absolute dog lovers and makes it easy for someone to be home almost 100% of the time.

About: I have pet sat cats and dogs for the last 7 years, and am very attentive to individual needs. Having grown up with a cat myself and taking care of my sisters dog definitely set me up for successful pet care. I work part time currently so am often available up to 2 days during the week and often one weekend day to care for your pets! I often let the pets lead me at first when I enter their environment. I want them to feel safe and comfortable, and am very patient when dealing with more anxious or defensive pets.

“Alyssa is was wonderful! She is very communicative and Rex loved his time with her! We will definitely be reaching out to her first the next time we need a dog walk/pet sitter.”

Jennifer C.

“Alexio was reliable, flexible, a good communicator and deeply cares about the well being and good manners of our dog Maisy. He provided mid-day walks M-F for the entire school year. I trust him, have recommended him for friends, and hope he’ll be available when we need him next!”

About: I’ve spent over a decade working with animals, starting in Birmingham, Alabama, where I rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed dogs through a bully breed rescue. I’ve also rescued and socialized cats and kittens, rehoming entire families. I currently have an active profile with Trusted House Sitters that has several five star reviews. After moving to New England, I worked at a cat hospice and later as a veterinary assistant at an emergency hospital. I’ve always had animals since I was a kid—especially cats—and I’ve also cared for reptiles, small pets like hamsters, and even fish. I’ve lived in many homes over the years and have often housesat for friends and family, so I’m comfortable caring for both pets and the spaces they love. I even have experience as a house cleaner and organizer and believe in leaving spaces better than I found them. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work part-time as a cheer coach a couple of times a week and occasionally help with our family business, but my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to be available most days for quality time, pet visits, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure animals get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. 🐾 Caring for animals is truly a passion of mine, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I believe every walk, play session, or visit should be a highlight of their day, and I make sure to give them plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their owners are away.

“Sarah was absolutely wonderful, she took great care of our girl Minuit. She fed her, and gave her love and attention. She asked about Minuit's personality and habits and that was a very nice touch. Would absolutely recommend :)”

Marine B.

“Rowyn met with me and my two dogs prior to our scheduled walking. She was great with them and showed clear knowledge of dogs and enthusiasm. She was easy to communicate with, as well as accommodating and gracious with last minute changes I made to my booking.”

About: I've been house and pet sitting for ten years plus, besides that I've been an owner of many dogs and cats. There is nothing that makes me happier than the well-being of them. When you choose me for the care of your fur babies, they'll be taken care of to the maximum comfort and standard. I'm flexible in that I work remotely... So i huge amount of the time i will be around to cater to your pets. And also will be able to walk them often and keep them stimulated I'll make sure their safety and the environment they're in are safe and nurturing. If it's the owner's house I won't change a thing, if it's my house I'll have them have access to all that they would have at their home.

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 9 years old- I find such joy in connecting with animals and getting to know their unique personalities! Various close connections in my life have and continue to rely on me to care for their pets when they are away or need extra support for their pets. I am excited to meet you and your animals and build relationships with people and fur babies of all kinds! I am prioritizing caring for pets, therefore have a very flexible schedule! Reach out to me and I am positive we can find a schedule and routine that works for us both :) I can crate your dog if necessary through experience with my own dogs, and I have experience administering medication safely when necessary. I am very diligent about ensuring the safety of pets to abide with whatever their owners are comfortable with.
