Dog Walking Prides Crossing

“Jonathan was fantastic with Bella while we were traveling for 2 weeks. We received daily pictures of the walks he took with her. Prior to leaving, Jonathan took Bella for a practice walk. Jonathan was very attentive to Bellas anxiety and on occasion stubbornness to walk. We highly recommend Jonathan and will definitely hire him again when we travel again.”

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!

“Tawny has been to help my two dogs and cat a few times now and she always goes above and beyond. She pays exception attention to detail and always gives us a full report so we feel like we are not missing anything with our fur babies.”

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.

I have plenty of time in the afternoon after my classes and I would love to spend that time going on a walk or taking care of pets! I can walk the dogs for long enough to make sure they are tired, feed them, clean up after them and even give medications or special requests that the animals would need!

“Brooke was amazing caring for our dog Zoey while we were away. We were hesitant on which route to take to care for Zoey on our 6 day vacation. We decided on using Brooke with multiple services and she exceeded our expectations. She was in contact with us daily with photos and communication. I will most definitely be recommending her to other dog families in need.”

About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.

About: I absolutely love all animals! I grew up having cats and dogs my entire life. I have pet sat for relatives, neighbors, and family friends since my early teens. My last dog had medical needs and was dog selective so I have first hand experience with both of those kinds of needs and the needs of elderly dogs. I'm active and have a fairly flexible schedule so I can care for your pets in whatever ways best suit them. During the week my schedule is very flexible and I can often structure my schedule around your needs. I am not available most weekends but I will be sure to keep my availability up to date. I will be thorough when asking questions in preparation of caring for your beloved pets to ensure I provide the best care possible. I would want nothing less for my own pets and would treat your pets as if they were my own. I will also treat your home with the utmost respect and leave it just as I found it.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog parent who understands how important it is to know your pup is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have experience with daily walks, enrichment, feeding routines, medication, and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and very tuned in to canine behavior and body language. I’m happy to follow your dog’s established routine, whether that means an energetic adventure, plenty of sniffing and enrichment, or simply some company and affection at home. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own and I’m always happy to provide plenty of updates and photos along the way! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my day. I’m available for regular weekly walks as well as occasional or last-minute visits, and I’m happy to work with your dog’s established routine. I genuinely enjoy being outside and walking, so giving pups the exercise, enrichment, and attention they need fits naturally into my day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, comfort level, and any specific needs before heading out. I pay close attention to body language and surroundings on walks and am mindful of other dogs, traffic, weather, and potential stressors. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, harnesses, gates, and any safety routines. I treat every dog with the same patience, attentiveness, and care I expect for my own.

About: I’ll treat your dogs like I treat my spoiled dogs. I don’t shy away from whatever weird quirks your dog likes. I’m happy to help in whatever way makes your pet(s) most comfortable. I talk to animals like they’re people. I’m currently on break from teaching college writing and literature, and would love for a reason to get outside and hang out with some pups. I’m currently a renter and therefore cannot board any animals in my place, but I’m happy to care for your babies in the way you indicate to me through your specific instructions.

About: My family has always had at least one cat or dog, so I have grown up with these wonderful animals as well as learned how to care for them with walking, feeding, cleaning, playing, etc. I am familiar with the body language of dogs and cats and want to provide a fun and safe experience for them while taking into account their unique temperaments and personalities. I treat every dog and cat like the beloved family member that I know they are. I am a grad student at Salem State, so besides going to classes and completing my coursework, I am available. I would love to spend some of my time meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am unavailable on Tues-Thurs mornings from 8:30-11am, Tues-Wed evenings from 4-7pm, and Thurs evenings from 6-9:30pm. I will treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I want to be an asset that will unobtrusively care for your animals in and outside your home. I know and honor how important every animal is in their family's life.

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 started taking care of dogs when my friends/family asked if I could help out. This all started because I love dogs and cats. Since then, I've cared for all breeds, sizes and personalities; from energetic pups to sweet seniors. I'm comfortable working with high energy dogs and quiet older dogs. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. I am extremely attentive to every dog's unique needs and your dog will be treated like family with me, if you give me the opportunity. My favorite part of pet sitting is getting to know each furry friend and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, since I work from home most of the time. This allows me to give plenty of time and attention to your dog throughout the day, including a walk every few hours and exercise tailored to your dog's energy level. Whether your pup loves long walks or quick play breaks, I make sure their needs are met with lots of love and care. I currently work part time and have the flexibility to walk and care for your dog/dogs all day/night. What sets me apart from other people, is I really enjoy the different personalities of every dog I meet. I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a fenced in yard that's perfect for daily fun. At home, I can provide a crate for pups who enjoy having their own cozy safe space. I maintain a calm low traffic home, so your pet gets a consistent, stress free environment. Whatever your dog does at your house, I can replicate at my house. I will follow your rules for your dog. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and loving space where every pup is treated like my own.

“Thank you so much Emily!!! 100 times over thank you for meeting rye on Sunday for a last minute walk on monday, It sounds like he really took to you fast! I’m so grateful.”
