About: I'm an avid pet lover I've owned all types of pets and cared for dogs since I was a young child. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I love spending time with dogs and giving them lots of love an affection. I currently own one dog, Scooby. He is a lab-basset mix and one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. We love going on hikes together and spending lots of time outside. I also have experience giving dogs oral medication. I live at home with my partner, Nick. We don't have any kids - so we treat our fur baby like our child. I'm currently in a job transition so I have plenty of time to play with pups! I walk Scooby twice a day (morning and evenings) and play with him in the afternoon. Whatever your dog's routine or unique needs - I will make sure to maintain it! I provide a loving, pet-friendly environment. My home is clean and secure, ensuring you pet's safety remains a top priority. Your pet will enjoy a routine that's consistent with their habits, including meals, walks, and play. I provide regular updates and photos of your pet's stay for peace of mind. I make sure to meet any specific needs or preferences you have for your pet's care. We have a backyard that is partially fenced in, but I never let our dog outside alone. Your dog will always be on leash when outside our house. Dogs can play in the backyard and we have direct access to hiking trails behind our house where we love to take Scooby on walks.
“Tanya was so helpful walking our dog at a last minute request. She did really lengthy and enriching walks and was able to tire out our dog. Also appreciated the pictures and open communication. Will definitely recommend!”
“Lori has been so wonderful with our pup! He can be very attached to us at times and she's been so patient with him. Now he is scratching at the door to walk with her when she arrives! We feel so lucky to have Lori as our dog walker and know Maverick is in such good care!”
About: I have been caring for dogs over the last 15 years including dogs with special needs (blind), dogs who need daily medicines, senior dogs and puppies. I have two dogs that I care for daily. One is a 3 year old blind dog and the other is a senior dog. I love to care for them, play with them, walk them and of course snuggle with them I will care for your dogs like they are my own. I will ensure they are fed per their normal schedule, exercised, played with, patted, and snuggled. If needed, I can give them oral and ophthalmic medications.
“Winnie and Finn loved their walks with Lesley! We booked Lesley for 4 consecutive days of 60 minute walks. She was a good communicator and was one time. She handled Winnie (74 lbs) and Finn (20 lbs) with ease and kept them safe and happy. Lesley varied the route to keep things interesting for them. I would recommend Lesley without hesitation and would definitely use her again.”
“Frances and Julia did a great job with Marge! They spent extra time hanging out with her after the walk. Marge looked so happy in the photos and we are very appreciative!”
“Sylvia is incredible! She noticed my dog wasn't feeling well on his walk and immediately let me know. She then stayed with him until I was able to rush home and take over. Your furry friend is in the best possible hands with her!”
“Fernanda is amazing! We have a temperamental, sweet yet sassy GSD who adored Fernanda immediately! She is 70lbs and stronger than she looks but Fernanda has no problem walking her with her slip lead (even though Shire hates the lead). Shire looks forward to Fernanda’s visits during the week and we’re so happy we found her! She also adores Shire so I know my girl is in good hands!”
“Sanela is a phenomenal dog walker! She is attentive, personable, communicative, and timely. She takes my dog Tully on nice long walks and he loves her. I’m so happy we found her, and I highly recommend!”
“Dylan is just awesome. I moved to my apartment and under last minute circumstances I needed someone to take care of my Dog, Jolene, while I work long hours. He stepped right up and put my mind at ease. He made sure she was comfortable and even helped get her to eat her food! (Had some anxiety after moving) 10/10 recommend!”
“Brady was great walking with our Golden. She seemed like she had a blast with him. He had great communication and was flexible with some last minute changes. Will definitely use again!”
About: 15+ years of experience owning and caring for animals from dogs, to cats, to birds, fish, and more. Each pet has its own amazing personality and character! I work a flexible schedule as a real estate agent that mostly consisted of work at home, afternoons and weekends. I am happy to help neighbors with any pet care needs. I do walks and drop in visits but unfortunately cannot host at my house I currently live in lynnfield in town, and I have no pets at home so your pet will be my sole focus for care and attention!
About: I am looking to get more exercise in my day to day life and I would love for your furry friend to come along! I have a German Shepherd and a cat at home with a big family so I have plenty of support to spread the love to your home! I work as a hair stylist a few days a week so I have a flexible schedule and I can stop by before or after to make sure everything is comfortable and clean for your friend. I have had pets my whole life and I know they are a lot of work and responsibility so let me know anything I can do to make your life easier. If you have any questions feel free to ask! I have a set schedule at work and I am pretty flexible! I have a car so you just let me know what your friend needs and when and I’ll be there :) I know how much our companions mean to us so their safety is my top priority. I will always keep them safe and on leash. Only feed them what is instructed and when. They mean as much to me as they do to you and I will treat them like family.

Alicia is a fantastic dog walker and human being. Alicia came over first to meet our doggies and asked good questions and was very loving towards both of our dogs (one of whom barks a lot). When we were away and the dogs were at my in-laws, Alicia communicated beautifully with them and most importantly, was very prompt and consistent each day. It can be hard to win them over and Alicia did so with flying colors. We most definitely will ask Alicia to take care of our pups again in the future. Thank you so much, Alicia, for a job well done!
I highly recommend Sophia! She's reliable and responsible. Her energy is gentle and positive. My girl, who has horrible separation anxiety, is slow to trust usually, but never looked back when Sophia offered a walk. It is a huge comfort to have someone as trustworthy as Sophia.
