Dog Walking Prides Crossing

“Jonathan is a very thoughtful, caring and patient dog walker. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety and we were expecting that she would have a hard time adapting when one of us started working full time. But, Jonathan is making this transition so much easier by being very attentive to our dog’s needs and providing us with very useful information about how she is doing on their walks. We strongly recommend him.”

About: 30 years as a dog mom, 2 young school-aged kids + friendly puppy!! Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 30 years! I grew up with a dog from the time I was 4 until I was 20, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. At 28, I got my own dog, who was a beloved part of our family for nearly 13 years. Shortly after saying goodbye to her we welcomed Lola, our mini dachshund, into our family in May 2026, and she has brought so much fun and energy to our home. I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day care that comes with having a dog, including walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Our family includes two young school-aged children, so our home is loving, active, and full of attention. Lola loves having other dogs around, so we’re especially excited to welcome friendly, social dogs who enjoy playing and having a canine companion. We’re a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of a family and having plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re with us! We take dogs out first thing in the morning, throughout the day as needed (typically at least every 3 hours), and again before bedtime. I am not currently working, so I’m around and available throughout the day. On weekends, we’re home most of the time with Lola and the kids, so there’s plenty of company, attention, and playtime. We enjoy getting outside for walks and, when appropriate, may visit a dog park or a dog-friendly beach when seasonally available. We’ll always consider your dog’s personality, comfort level, and energy when planning activities. Our goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home! Our home is a dog-loving, family-friendly environment with a large yard on a quiet private road, surrounded by woods and backing up to the Hannah Trails. There’s plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and get some energy out! We have one very friendly, playful puppy (Lola) who loves having other dogs around, plus two young school-aged kids who are always happy to provide extra attention, entertainment, and cuddles. We especially enjoy welcoming dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. Our puppy has free rein of the house when we’re home and is crate-trained when we leave. For guest dogs, we’re happy to use a crate when we’re away if that’s what they’re accustomed to. If your dog isn’t crate-trained, that’s completely fine—we’re happy to work with their routine and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while we’re out. At night, we’ll follow whatever routine your dog is used to. They can sleep in a crate, in a designated area, or even in bed with us (& Lola) if that’s their normal routine. Our goal is to keep your dog’s experience as comfortable and familiar as possible while they’re staying with us!

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other animals, and I have always loved taking care of them. My family, neighbors, and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pets over the years, whether it's for walks, check-ins, or overnights, and I would love to do the same for your pet. I'm a college student and have plenty of time during the week for quick check-ins and walks, and I will be able to stay overnight most weekdays and on weekends. I am very comfortable around dogs and would have no problem going on walks, crating your dog, administering most medicine, or doing any other tasks that may be required.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. From dogs and cats to the everyday responsibilities that come with having a pet, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience over the years. With my husband and our two kids ages 8 and 5, we had a cat for 16 years and recently adopted a lab mix. I’m currently a puppy parent, so I understand the patience, attention, exercise, playtime, and love required! I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am available for taking care of a dog in home, dog walks, playtime or cat visits. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and have the flexibility to provide care during the day. This includes walk, playtime and visits for love and attention. I have a fully fenced in back yard which our puppy adores. I am comfortable with using a crate or not, depending on the need of the dog.

About: I’ve been a loving and devoted dog owner since I was ten. I’ve raised both small and large breed dogs from puppyhood. In addition, I’ve been a foster mom to many dogs of various ages and breeds through Great Dog Rescue. I enjoy getting outdoors, rain or shine, walking and playing with these wonderful animals. My dogs get are doted on with lots of cuddles and attention. I currently have a very friendly Bernese Mountain dog who gets along well with other dogs. I am available full-time to care for your fur baby. I could offer daily exercise and plenty of individual attention to your pup at my home or yours. I have a house with a big yard on a quiet cul-de-sac. Either in your home or mine, I would take your dog out on a leash to make sure it stays safe. Having hosted many rescue dogs, I know how to care for nervous animals and they have thrived under my care.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs throughout my life as friends and family members have trusted me with their dogs. My own dog has some behavior issues since she is a rescue so I have skills in how to handle those types of situations. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s energetic playtime, long walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt to suit your pet’s personality and routine. I’m currently a student at Endicott College, so I have time throughout my day in between class to walk or check in on your dog! I do not plan on bringing your pet into my home since I am living at school; however, in my clients home I follow the owner’s instructions to maintain routines, such as feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I take extra precautions to ensure their home is treated with respect and kept clean and secure. Building trust with both pets and their owners is my top priority, and I make sure pets feel loved, safe, and happy while under my care.

“Libby took such good care of our girl! Our pup can be a bit lazy and Libby did a great job getting her motivated for her walk and followed our instructions perfect. Thank you Libby!! Will be rebooking”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need every day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable.

About: I worked at the Ipswich Animal Shelter for 6 years and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages. I’ve always owned cats, from kittens to seniors, and am very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments! I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and in-home sitting. I’m also able to accommodate weekends when needed with advanced notice. I always care for pets as if they were my own and consistently follow their established routines as closely as possible! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications are handled on schedule, while also keeping their environment clean, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Animals are my passion I went to high school for veterinary science, and have worked in all aspect of the animal world, grooming, daycare, walking, sitting, and even the medical aspect. My goal is to make sure that you're pet is more than satisfied and happy as well as the YOU the owner! I currently am working on building my own pet care business, so I have a lot of time for this as it's what I am trying to build and will be my only focus. I do also own two dogs and four cats of my own so animal care is not something new for me, something that just comes easy and flows into my day naturally. I have two dogs of my own that are also extremely dog friendly as well as 4 cats that are very used to the dogs, two even think they are dogs! I have a two story duplex with a mostly fenced in yard, but I do also have super long leads screwed into the ground incase of anything. animal care is my passion and what I love to do.
