About: Hello! I have grown up with multiple dogs and cats through out my life and had full responsibilities of their care. I walked my dogs every day, washed and brushed them weekly, and provided love and constant attention. I'm available in the morning for early walks, walks between 9-12 tuesday through thursday, or evening walks. I have previously pet sit for many family and friends at their homes while they were away on vacation and followed detailed instructions and expectations of care wanted for their pets. I have experience in administrating insulin to pets with diabetes and administrating other medications in pill or liquid form. Overall I am just a person who truly loves all animals. I am familiar with prong collars and gentle leaders. I am currently a stay at home mother to a 3 and 5 year old. I have availability when my kids are in school, evenings and weekends. I currently have one large breed dog and two cats. I provide for all their care and needs of exercise, feeding, litter box, etc. When I am caring for other pets, I will provide clear and thorough details of the visit/walk.
“We signed up for the app and sent a message to Angela and Adam and got a response within minutes. They immediately booked a meet and greet. Our boy,Teddy, still has a bunch of puppy energy and can be intimidating to some because of his size. He is 80lbs of muscle and marshmallow. He is a rescue and not much is known about his past so there were some things we were concerned about in finding someone to walk him, but they both were very confident that they could handle him. Their demeanor made our family feel so comfortable. It's been a week and he has taken to Angela and Adam very well. They communicate when they are on their way and when they've left. They send pics that show he is having a blast. We are very happy knowing that Teddy is getting some exercise and TLC during the day and is in great hands!”
About: I have been a veterinary technician for a long time! I have recently changed careers and have been a student again. I miss being around fur babies and I would love to have the opportunity to do it again! I started my career with animals in a shelter and moved into the veterinary field. I have had too many foster animals of all types to even count! I am completely confident in my skills weather that be behavioral, medical, age specific, etc. My own pets are all over the rainbow bridge now and I deeply miss these interactions. Very available unless on vacation. Reach out if you need something! We may be able to make it happen! Full time student home for the summer ready to take care of your fur babies! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a large yard to walk your dog all around! We also have a great area to go on longer walks right on our street! While your away, let your pet have the experience of their very own vacation with me!
“I felt very confident when she was enthusiastic about setting up a quick meet and greet. She completed the walk despite a minor collar failure, and I appreciated her transparency with the situation. Professional, polite, and wonderful to work with!”
“Tara has been great. She took my three dogs on a walk and then played with them. She takes good care especially of my 3-month old puppy. I feel like my dogs are safe with her and she’s extreme communicative! She’s really great and I will definitely use her again!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and all have lived healthy long lives. I've pet sat for friends and family. I think all pets should have the chance to stay in the comfort of home and be cared for while their owners are away. During my school year (September to June) I am available weekends and during school breaks. During the summer months I'm available daily. I look forward to discussing options with you. I treat all pets as if they're my own. I have a little boy who can't get enough puppy/dog time. I'd love for him to join me and learn more about pet care for when he gets his own dog. We have an elderly dog currently and he wants a puppy. We will be kind, playful, and loving to your fur baby.
“Jenna did a great job walking my 2 girls. She was right on time and was a sweet, caring person that you can tell loves animals. I was very pleased and will be using her again. I was also happy with Rover. 5 stars + for both.”
“Alexis was awesome! Charlie is getting used to her so he was a bit stand off-ish. Alexis was very patient and took her time with him. Once he came around she was great with him. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to have you back!!”
“We had such a great experience with Raquel. Our dog came back from the walk happy, tired, and clearly well-exercised. It was obvious they had a fun time together! Raquel was punctual, friendly, and really great with my pup. I appreciated the updates and photos too.”
About: Pet CPR and first aid certified. Pet owner for 35 years. Experience with dogs, cats, small animals, lizards puppies and seniors including dispensing of medication. I’m retired and have a flexible schedule. I have a car to pick up and drop off to Fairhaven and neighboring towns and can make trips for pee breaks.

About: I have been grooming, boarding and walking dogs professionally for 11 years. The best part of working with dogs is playtime and they will definitely get that here. I have three dogs that love to make new friends! Your pup will be provided with a safe and fun environment while you are away. Available seven days a week. I am a professional dog groomer and work from home. There is a six foot fenced in area for playtime or for just relaxing in the fresh air. I have dogs of my own that love to make new friends and play. If your dog requires quiet I also have an area for peacefulness.
About: I've owned and cared for dogs my entire life. Currently I have two dogs, a Standard Poodle and a Goldendoodle. They are very sweet and get along well with other dogs! I am retired and have a flexible schedule so I am available for dog walking and boarding. Occasionally, I assist a friend (and local breeder) with her puppies and older dogs. I love it! My dogs are a huge part of my life. I love being outdoors, walking/exploring trails and new areas. I'm retired and have a flexible schedule. Therefore, I am available for last minute dog walks, more permanent walks, visits in your home, and boarding. It's important, with boarding that your dog gets along with other dogs since I have two (very loving) dogs at home (a Standard Poodle & Goldendoodle). I have a large yard (not fenced), so I would be with your dog at all times outside. There are some wooded trails behind my house that I enjoy walking with my dogs. I am happy to use a crate if needed for boarding.
