“Sheila is great! She took care of my two dogs this evening and made them feel comfortable. One of my dogs has a severe anxiety disorder so taking him for a walk is no easy feat. She handled it and got him to walk for her. I am so grateful to Sheila for this. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker.”

About: I absolutely love dogs. I have cared for my own dog my whole life, and he is my world! I will care for yours the same way! I am a student and have plenty of time on weekends and between classes to care for and walk the pups! I love walks too! I will cater to whatever specific needs or requests you have. My schedule is very flexible as well so just let me know what you need and I can help you!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a four‑legged best friend in the house. Growing up with dogs taught me the foundations of great pet care: patience, consistency, and plenty of affection. Today, I’m a proud dog dad to my pup, Ghost. He’s energetic, loyal, and always ready for an adventure. Caring for him has deepened my understanding of canine behavior and reinforced the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, structure, or just a calm presence. I’m also a big cat lover! I’ve always had a soft spot for cats and genuinely enjoy their personalities—from the playful and curious to the calm and cuddly. Whether your pet is a dog, a cat, or both, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I have a full time job in Higher Ed I work from 8:30 am to 4:30 PM Mon-Fri. I can work around those hours. I also have an hour for lunch which I can use for additional walks I live by a lake so if your dog loves the water they will get plenty of that! I also have lots of walking trails nearby.

“Myleigh was able to come within a hour of my request for dog walking which was incredibly helpful. I needed someone to come for a day and a half and Myleigh was available and on time each time, even in the rain. Very nice, Molly loved walking with her!”

“Carol was great about getting a walk rescheduled when we had some weather and scheduling conflicts. Squire came back from his walk today happy and tired.”

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey—new to Gloucester and excited to connect with the community 😊 I previously ran a dog walking business in Providence, RI and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m happy to provide references! I offer dependable, loving dog walking and in-home sitting with a unique perk—direct beach access right on Wingaersheek Road near Coffins Beach 🌊🐾 Your dog will enjoy: • Daily beach walks with plenty of space to run and play • Fetch time (ball or frisbee!) • Optional swimming for water-loving pups • Fresh air, exercise, and a calm, cozy home environment I treat every dog like my own and always send updates/photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. I also have two cats at home, so dogs should be comfortable around cats. I’d love to chat and see if it’s a great fit for you and your pup! I maintain an active, consistent daily routine and plan my schedule around the dogs in my care. I’m typically out for a Pilates class from 8:45–9:45am, and occasionally run a quick errand afterward—but I’m happy to bring dogs along for pet-friendly outings like local farm stands or errands when appropriate. I’m available for walks late morning, mid-day, and again in the afternoon/evening after the gym. My schedule allows for multiple walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day, and I always prioritize the needs and routine of each individual dog. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where dogs are treated like family. I’m very attentive to each dog’s needs, energy level, and routine, and I always prioritize their comfort and safety. Dogs in my care get plenty of exercise, whether that’s structured walks, beach time, or play, along with downtime to relax in a cozy setting. I’m experienced with a range of temperaments and can adjust to puppies, active dogs, or more relaxed/senior dogs. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions (feeding schedules, medications, crate use if needed), and I always provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident your dog is in great hands. I do have two cats at home, so dogs should be comfortable around cats.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs in the house from little Poodles to Great Danes. While in college my roommate got a dog for the house and we all pitched in. I also took time to foster dogs in the area will they found their forever homes! I am currently in nursing school part time, so I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your doggy’s. I am available Monday and Tuesday after 1 and throughout the rest of the week I’m free at all hours. Every pet is unique and requires different levels of care and attention, I am very open to learning about the needs of your pets to give them the best experience possible!

About: I can take your dog on a short walk or can take your dog on longer walks such as hiking or going to the beach where they will get lots of exercise and/or socialization if needed. You won’t have to worry if your furry companion is lonely or bored when they are in my care! I love getting to know each individual dog and will cater to their specific needs. I have previous experience house sitting, dog walking, and making drop-in visits from my own business I started. I have a B.S. in Equine Studies, which has given me knowledge of basic small and large animal health, nutrition, diseases, and care. I have my own 2 year old Lab mix named Rory so dealing with puppies or energetic dogs is no problem for me! I can also provide longer visits at the home for those families who are away long periods of time during the day and want their furry friends to have a few hours of socialization. I offer this at a specialized rate, for about 2-3 hours at a time.

About: 10 years of hands-on animal care experience I provide reliable compassionate care for dogs all breeds and sizes. Creating a loving environment while you’re away. I currently work driving a doggy daycare bus, which leaves me plenty of time in between to take care of any furry friends. I am available early morning, between the hours of 11 and 130 and then available for late afternoon after 3:30 for evening walks, feedings, etc.. I will come to your home and if you’re comfortable, I can spend the night. Making sure everybody gets fed. I have no problem with giving medication. I was a vet tech at one point so very adapt with all animals no matter what their situation is or their dietary restrictions. i’ll even water your plants if necessary.

“I just started with Laura a week ago. So far Laura and my dog are creating a wonderful bond. Laura is terrific! She is trustworthy, she has a key to my home. I love all the footage I receive whilst she’s with my large dog. I’m very impressed with Laura’s depth of knowledge in dog care. Also she is very humble in her personal accomplishments relating to human and animal communication and skills. I highly recommend Laura.”

About: I excel in multitasking, providing companionship, and assisting with various tasks. I'm well-versed in training puppies and offering support for seniors, making me a versatile and caring sitter. I allocate time daily for feeding, exercise, and playtime. Weekly, I ensure grooming and health check-ups, tailoring care to each pet's needs for their well-being and happiness. Pet care is a regular part of my routine, involving feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime. I prioritize their well-being and tailor care to their unique requirements. In both settings, I provide attentive care by feeding, grooming, and exercising pets. In clients' homes, I maintain their routines and ensure a comfortable environment for them.

About: Since I was a small child, I have had numerous family dogs and otherwise, all of which have helped me develop a deep understanding of love, care, and joy. Each dog I meet leaves a mark on me, and I truly value that. Recently, I left my career in Civil Engineering to pursue my love for dogs and all animals - which has brought me to my most recent job and passion of working at a kennel. I only wish to continue this new journey by helping/assisting/caring for even more animals, which brings me to Rover! I am currently working part-time (25-35 hours per week) at a kennel. I have 3-4 spare days each week - in which I hope to incorporate extra care work into my schedule, which brings me to Rover. I am comfortable with both on leash and off leash care, and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. In my home, my dog has always been the priority in my day to day. Ensuring good health, a positive atmosphere, and the ability to show them/allow them to live their life to the fullest. I value safety incredibly, and I am confident in my abilities to build trust with any and all dogs - given the necessary time and comfortability.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and caretaker since I was 10 years old and have lived with dogs in multiple places across the U.S. I’ve had experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes—from my first dog, Cody the Shiba Inu, to my current dog Reese, a Lab/Plott Hound mix—so no size, energy level, or personality makes me nervous. I genuinely think every dog is just as lovable as the next. My dog Reese is now 13 years old, and caring for her as she’s aged has given me extensive experience with senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, assisting dogs up and down stairs, and adjusting care routines to match a dog’s mobility and comfort needs. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to following an owner’s instructions. I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire and commissioned into the U.S. Army as an officer. Before heading to training, I have approximately nine months where my schedule is very flexible and dependable. I currently work with a transportation company for about 1–2 weeks each month, but outside of that my availability is wide open. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I enjoy filling my time caring for pets and helping owners feel at ease while they’re away. Because my schedule is consistent and planned well in advance, I’m reliable, punctual, and easy to communicate with. I’m happy to discuss recurring care, extended stays, or last-minute needs whenever possible. Arrival Before your trip, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care needs. This can be shared however you prefer—through a message, a note left at home, or during a meet and greet. As long as I have clear instructions, I’m confident stepping in and keeping your pet comfortable. If you’re not home when I arrive, I’m happy to use whatever access method you prefer, whether that’s a door code, lockbox, or key. ⸻ During My Stay When staying in a client’s home, my priority is to keep everything feeling familiar and low-stress for your pet. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits. I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, adjusting activity levels, and providing extra patience and care when needed. Whether your pet is energetic or more relaxed, I tailor my care to match their personality and needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and affection while also respecting their space. I’m attentive to safety at all times and aim to create a calm, positive environment while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos as often as you’d like—once a day, multiple times a day, or just check-ins when requested. I adjust communication to whatever makes you most comfortable. ⸻ Departure Before you return, I make sure your home is left exactly as you left it. This includes tidying up any areas I used, washing dishes if needed, and ensuring everything is clean and orderly. If requested, I’m also happy to water plants, collect mail or packages, and leave everything neatly in one place. After I leave, I can send a final update with photos and a quick summary so you feel fully informed and reassured. ⸻ Final Note At the end of the day, my goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I take this responsibility seriously and treat both your pet and your home with care and respect.

About: We are a dog/cat family who welcomes all dogs who are good with children, other pets, and our 3-year-old rescue girl Luna! She is a love and would really like to make some friends. I currently work from home and have flexible hours during the week. My weekends are dedicating to being a cheer/soccer/basketball/dance mom, which makes me a professional time juggler! I keep my pet on a leash at all times unless in an area where she is safe to run without being a "flight risk".

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs, along with other animals such as goats and bunnies.

I also would like to note that one of the 4 dogs is handicapped and uses a wheelchair so i am familiar with handicapped pets and would be willing to learn and adapt my care however they may need. I am working part time but my hours are flexible so i am able to pet sit generally any time of the week and would be happy to discuss what times work best for you! My dogs at home have an electric fence and go out whenever they would like but also get walks in and i would be happy to take your pet on a walk. The other family i pet sit for has a fenced in yard so their dogs can also go out as they please.
