Dog Walking Rumford

“Xinwei was fantastic with Cody while I was out of the country. He was always punctual, reliable, and very communicative, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Cody was in good hands. I’d absolutely book with Xinwei again and highly recommend him!”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve provided long-term care and daily walks for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I’m also experienced with cats and understand the unique attention they need. I previously worked at Dog Mountain, a dog centered art gallery and off-leash haven, where I gained even more insight into canine behavior and safety. I have two dogs, that currently live in Vermont, both of which have faced serious medical issues that I’ve managed with calm, competent care. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and I make sure to treat every animal as my own. I currently work part-time, which allows me the flexibility to offer frequent walks and attentive pet care. Being from Vermont, staying active and enjoying the outdoors is a daily priority for me, so your pets will always enjoy plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I’m primarily available for morning and afternoon walks, seven days a week. I miss my dogs and want a canine companion on my daily runs/walks! When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I offer everything from drop-in feedings and walks to overnight stays. I’m respecting of your space and committed to keeping you pet happy, healthy, and stress free.

“Maryann was very communicative, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about dogs/dog care in general. We’d hire her to watch our little one another time in a heartbeat!”

“Michelle is amazing! We can enjoy our time away knowing that our dogs are in excellent hands and getting lots of snuggles and love. And her communication and updates are great! 🐶🐾”

About: Hello, I’m a Brown University graduate who gave up on the corporate life to live off my art and my passion for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life, especially cats, and I’ve been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, I also helped watch my neighbors’ pets whenever they needed an extra hand. Now, I’m a proud dog mom to Bonnie, a sweet Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix I share with my partner. Because she’s our first dog, we dove deep into research—while at Brown, we studied canine behavior and body language to better understand how dogs communicate and what they need to feel safe and happy. That knowledge has been invaluable in helping us welcome pet guests into our home. When your pets stay with us, they’ll be treated just like Bonnie—with cuddles, love, fun walks, playtime, and plenty of care. My goal is always to make them feel at home, comfortable, and loved. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and cuddle your pets throughout the day. Whether they need extra attention, long walks, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure they always feel cared for. The first priority for me when caring for animals is safety. I pay close attention to the environment and make sure pets are always comfortable and secure. For dogs, I have a safe yard where they can play, take potty breaks, or just relax outside. I also live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for safe walks and trips to the park. For cats, my home is equipped with window protection so they can’t slip outside (unless they are leash-trained or outdoor cats whose owners prefer outside time). I always respect each owner’s preferences—whether that means leash walks, indoor-only care, or a specific routine. If not in my own house, it's my pleasure to go to the owners house to take care of the cats! I will check the whole house to make sure everything is in order, clean everything, feed, hang out and play with the little ones! I pay attention to each animal’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I’ll always ask questions and keep in touch to make sure we’re on the same page.

“We couldn't be more grateful to have had Gilbert as our dog walker while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, was professional, trustworthy, and—most importantly—absolutely wonderful with our dog. Gilbert took the time to understand our dog's routine, quirks, and preferences, and it showed in how happy and relaxed our pup was when we got home. He kept us updated with photos and little notes after each visit, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Gilbert genuinely cares about the pets he works with—he treated our dog like his own. If you're looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly great with animals, we wholeheartedly recommend Gilbert. We’ll definitely be booking him again! Thank you so much, The Rebello's”

“Christina was very reliable. She took many pics of Teddy on their walks. Teddy loves when she takes him on walks and gives him belly rubs. Will definitely being booking her again when we go on our next trip.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. My first job was working as a cat sitter for my neighbor’s young cat, Monkey. I’ve stayed at neighbors houses to watch their dogs since high school, providing regular walks, enrichment, and love. I’ve worked with puppies as young as 10 weeks and dogs as old as 12 years. I’ve worked with pets with special needs and medication needs. Most importantly, I truly love animals. As my sister’s weenie dog puppy can attest, nothing makes me happier than having an animal curled up on my lap. Even if it means dealing with some scratches or disciplining, being around pets is always worth it! As a student, my schedule is super flexible. I’m happy to take care of pets whenever I can. I love early morning walks, so I’m available as early as 7:30 am. My house requires getting up a few flights of stairs, so large senior pups may struggle. Otherwise, any animals are welcome. I’m happy to stay at other folks’ homes as I know this often makes animals more comfortable. I’m flexible to whatever your house rules are!

“We had Xavier come and do walks twice daily for my energetic pup during a last minute trip my family took. Xavier provided excellent communication and went above and beyond in many ways. We received pictures with every walk and questions that showed he was attentive and responsible caring for our dog.”

About: I adopted my dog when he was two and trained him to become the calm, well-mannered gentleman he is today. Now a senior, he’s an expert at finding the best spot on the floor and supervising the household from there. Caring for him has taught me the patience, attentiveness, and extra support older dogs need. I’m dependable, observant, and committed to following each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog prefers long walks, slow strolls, playtime, or professional-level napping, I’ll treat them like my own. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is genuinely one of the best parts of my day. I plan my schedule carefully so every visit gets the time and attention it deserves... never rushed or squeezed in as an afterthought. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, arrive when expected, and keep you updated while you’re away. I know consistency helps pets feel safe, especially when dinner is served three minutes late and they’re considering filing a formal complaint. Safety and trust come first. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely, respect the space, and keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. I know from my own dog's personality that pets are not always committed to the honor system. I’ll maintain their usual feeding, walking, and playtime routines while giving them the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable. In my home, any introductions to my calm senior dog would be slow and supervised, with separate spaces available for meals and rest. I’ll also provide honest updates so you can relax knowing your pet and home are being treated with genuine care and respect.

“Exceptional as always! We’ve had Kristine take care of our cat and dog several times and each time she provides same level of over and beyond care!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love, compassion, and patience I have for animals. Ever since I was little, I’ve always had a passion for caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve cared for a variety of animals including cats, bunnies, and dogs, which has helped me become attentive to different personalities and needs. I currently have a dog named Roxie and care for a beautiful boy dog named Ozzy, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide the happiest, safest, and most loving environment possible for every fur friend in my care. 🐾 Pet care fits well into my schedule because I am currently finishing high school, which gives me flexibility throughout the week, and I’ll have even more availability later on. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I always make time for walks, feeding, and making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving every fur friend the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they always have fresh water, cleaning up after them, and providing walks, play, and companionship based on their needs. I pay attention to their behavior and well-being and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.

“Thank you! Misha loved her walk! See you soon.”

About: Hi there! My name is Shane, and I’m based in Taunton, MA, providing pet care all across Massachusetts and RI. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and even chinchillas. My background includes working as a playgroup supervisor at a doggy daycare outside Boston, as well as my former position at Providence Animal Rescue League as a communications coordinator and pet photographer (which means I’d be happy to capture some great photos of your pets, too!). In addition to my hands-on experience, I’m comfortable and experienced with administering medications — including to cats and dogs with special medical needs. I understand the importance of patience and precision when it comes to keeping pets healthy and happy. At home, I share life with my partner Anna (also an animal lover and caregiver), our diabetic cat Nestor, and our two leopard geckos, Meechee and Verne. I also help care for my family’s dog, Finn, whenever I can. Currently, I work mostly remotely, with occasional in office days. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting/boarding, I bring a mix of professional experience, personal passion, and a whole lot of care to every pet I meet. I’d love the chance to get to know you and your pets! I currently work a hybrid-remote job that is dominantly remote, with occasional in office days. Myself and my partner are a lovely tag team of caregivers when it comes to our cat and leopard geckos! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible so your pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding on schedule, refreshing water, walks or playtime, administering medication if needed, and of course lots of love and attention. I keep a close eye on their well-being, send updates and photos, and always leave your home just as I found it. To be able to stay in your home is a privilege in itself, so I thank you for the hospitality! When pets stay with me, I provide a safe and cozy environment, enrichment through play, and plenty of supervised attention. I believe in treating every animal as if they were my own — making sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for in the way that suits them best.

About: Hi there! 🐾❤️ My names Tessa & I have been a veterinary technician for 9 years now. I am also a proud pet parent to two of my own: Loki, my goofy and loving 5 year old Shepherd/Lab mix, and Elliot, my sweet 7 year old cat who is my soul kitty. They’ve taught me just how much personality, comfort, and love our animals bring into our live & how important it is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when we aren’t there. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and love that I give my own Loki and Elliot. I can’t wait to meet your fur family! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with your routine and your pets’ individual needs. I do have pets of my own, but I have a trusted support system in place to care for them while I’m caring for your pets, including overnight stays. I offer overnight pet sitting, daily drop-in visits, dog walking, medication administration, and of course, lots of love, attention, and playtime! Whether we’re going on a long walk, having a play session, snuggling on the couch, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Little miss Kimba was a happy little pup after her walk with Tatiana. Tatiana was communicative, timely, and even showed up early for the first meeting! Highly recommend.”
