Dog Walking Northampton

“Heather was wonderful. I messaged her last minute and responded very quickly and she was very accommodating. Our dog Minuit had a wonderful time with Heather and her dog. I highly recommend her.”

“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.”

“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 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.

“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!!!”

About: I am a certified vet tech with about 15 years experience. Additional years for pet ownership. I have been with animals my whole life and have dedicated the rest of my life to help to take care of them and make them happy. I can administer any type of medication, give subcutaneous fluids, or snuggle. I work Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I can do three drop in visits those days on my lunch break. I can also come home on my lunch break to let out pets that are staying with me so they aren’t left for too long. My husband is home on Saturdays. My children are active participants in taking care of pets as they have been exposed to different types of pets with different demeanors. They understand to give pets their boundaries when they need their space. I have two large dog crates just in case it is needed, you don’t need to bring your own crate if your family companion is crate trained. You are also welcome to bring a crate if you would prefer. I have an open floor plan and have plenty of space. I have a fenced in yard for my active greyhound. I also have two cats who are older ladies so they don’t want to play but they love to snuggle. My greyhound loves attention and his favorite is butt scratches. Anytime a new dog comes over I make sure they are properly introduced through the baby gate I have in my mud room. If they don’t get along I make sure they stay separate with rotating times outside. Any cats that come over, they have their own safe space in my room. Depending on the length of their stay, they would also have a gradual introduction with my cats so they can be out of the room. I make sure everyone is safe.

“Wonderful reliable sitter very saavy about dogs! Will use her again.”

About: Hi! I have been taking care of dogs & cats since I was little. As an adult, I have been pet sitting an dog walking part-time for the past two years. I love all the amazing critters I've gotten to meet and care for - as well as the humans too (some pet sitting has even turned into babysitting for the same clients!) I consider it a great pleasure to get to work with animals everyday, experience the great outdoors with them (even if in winter 🥶 and summer 🥵), and be a trusted resource for my clients. I currently have two rescue dogs with my partner - a 45lb bossy-cuddler named Luanne and a 77lb sweet, shy girlie named Sheeba! I currently am working part time (3xweek) with a varying schedule. Usually a shift will be between 6-8 hours. If your pets can make it 6-8 hours some days, I’m sure we can work something out! I have a fenced in yard at my home that I am able to let dogs out in through out the day. I also provide my dogs with a walk in the morning and a longer walk in the afternoon for exercise and lots of good sniffs!

About: I've worked at dog kennels and taking care of dogs. Growing up my whole life I've owned and thoroughly enjoy working with them. I have trained and owned primarily larger breeds and work dogs I can offer pet care between the hours of 8:00 and 3:00 on the weekdays with more flexibility on the weekends, any other time would need to be negotiated ahead of time to fit my schedule. I would want to know ahead of time any specific accommodations for your dog including any major concerns you have. I would like to know what routines you use for walking, boarding and letting out. I'm happy to work within your dog's perimeters to keep them happy and safe

About: As a child, I owned almost every pet imaginable - from house cats to Rottweilers to lizards to ferrets! Bless my poor mother's heart - we practically had a small zoo at our house! As an adult I owned a cat for 5 years and also "dog /cat sat" for friends and families many times. I'm an all-around animal lover who is comfortable with many different types of pet care. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a four year old. Please be advised that if I pet-sit overnight at your home, my daughter will most likely be accompanying me for at least part of the job assignment. If you aren’t comfortable having well-behaved, well-supervised children at your home, then unfortunately I’m not a good fit your you. I have plenty of flexibility on both weekdays and weekends to provide care for your pets. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fenced-in back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks. I also have access to a nearby park.

“Pierson was very kind and gentle with Briar. She always checked in with me to make sure we were on the same page regarding the walking schedule. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have over 13 years of experience caring for my Labradoodle and have developed a strong understanding of dogs' needs, behaviors, and routines. In addition to caring for my own pet, I have experience walking and looking after friends' dogs, giving me confidence working with pets of different personalities and energy levels. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a UMass student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pet. I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care and treating every animal as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh water, are fed according to instructions, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and have any other needs met. On walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure each dog gets the activity level they need. I treat every pet and home with respect and care, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages.

About: I've taken care of dogs and homes since I was in grade school, and so have 14 years of pet- and house-sitting experience. You can rely on me for numerous daily walks, active play dates, timely medicine provision, prescribed feedings, and even teeth cleaning. I’ve been a proud dog-owner since birth and currently have a sweet and goofy rescue fur baby (Armando). Rover is my only obligation as of now, as I don’t currently work. I’m an early riser as well as a night owl, so I can walk your pup(s) super early or late ~ and any time in between! My partner and I share a rescue dog in our home, so I’m available to house sit or do overnight stays since he can take care of our dog when I’m gone. Our doggo is super sweet, friendly, and loves other pets!! I have a very safe, gated 1,00 sqft house right off of the Deerfield Beach Island strip. we have a backyard with two permanent leashes so your pet(s) can hang out with me outside in close proximity. In my home your dogs will be allowed on all the furniture. In your home, I will respect whatever boundaries you have in place for your pets :)
