About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.
About: Hi, I’m Amanda, and caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me it’s my passion. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in dog walking, grooming, and pet care, I’ve dedicated my life to making sure every pup I meet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I offer dog walking, grooming, day care out of my home and drop-in check-ins, tailored to fit your dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special care needs. I’m also experienced in administering medication and handling anxious or reactive dogs with patience and compassion. Whether it’s a quick walk, a fresh groom, or just some love and attention while you’re away, your dog will be treated like family with me. I truly love dogs with my whole heart, and it shows in everything I do.💕🐶🐾 I am currently doing dog grooming from out of my house so I am free really any time of the day during the week and same going with the weekend i update my calendar every week so it is always up to date ! My house is away from the road and not near a main road at all we have a fenced in backyard. I have 2 dogs of my own that will be separated from all dogs at all times and a whole back room int the house with big comfy dog crates if they were needed to be crated. If i were to come to your home and take care of pets I will always supervise and keep your pup company with toys provided!

About: Hi! My name is Melissa, and I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. I gained hands-on experience working at Dog day care and training camp, where I learned about dog behavior, training, and proper care. My role included daily walks, reinforcing training, and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. This experience has made me confident in providing safe, reliable, and loving care for every dog I meet. I’m going back to school and looking for a part-time job caring for dogs! have a lot of availability throughout October and will have less availability once school starts, but I’m looking to take on as much work as I can. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable care whenever I’m available. In my home, my dog gets daily walks, whether on the beach or along a trail. We also have a fenced-in yard to ensure she stays safe while outside.

About: Due to my current employment situation, I have lots of schedule flexibility to suit the needs of your animals. I have been caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes since I was young and have done it on a more regular basis over the past 8 years. I have grown up always having dogs and cats so I am extremely familiar with caring for animals. Even the most skeptical dogs quickly trust me for my loving nature. I am always prepared to pay full attention to any animals in my care and to respond to any challenging situations that may come up. I truly love animals and am very excited at the opportunity to help others with the care and support of their furry friends! Your pet’s day will look exactly like it does when you’re with them! I pride myself on helping dogs to keep their routines. I am happy to offer whatever enrichment activities we discuss for your pet such as car rides, dog parks, play dates etc but also understand these are not for every dog so will never do anything we didn’t explicitly clear. I am very adamant about understanding the ways you keep your pet safe at home. I am extremely cautious when coming and going. I keep an eye on all pets in yards, even when they don’t typically require this. In 15 years of dogsitting, I have only had one dog slip away from me and handled it quickly and safely.
About: I been around dogs since I was 12 years old and have been dogsitting for 2 years now! I have experience with many breeds of all sizes. I would love to spend some quality time with your pup! I am very active; I love walks, hikes, and just being outside. I am up early in the morning and home most of the day. I have a large yard, and though it is not fenced in, pets will always be leashed and supervised. I have a quiet neighborhood behind my home and many parks nearby for some great walks. My favorite part of dogsitting is spending time with them, so we’ll be together pretty much 24/7!
About: Holly is the founder and primary dog walker at Down With Dogs Pet Care based in Weymouth, MA. She has cared for animals since a young age and is licensed, insured, and pet CPR and first-aid certified. Rescuing her dog, Rumi, and training her inspired Holly to want to work more with animals. She found that reactive dogs especially respond well to her calming nature and clear communication style. She also has a senior cat with medical needs named Coco who is her first baby. Holly has a special place in her heart for the kittys too! With a background in Marketing and as a registered yoga teacher, Holly started caring for her neighbors’ dogs in 2022 while they were away on travel. Four years later, she worked with a local dog walking company before starting Down With Dogs in 2026. Her signature offerings include dog walks, hikes, small play groups and drop in visits during the day time while pet owners are away at work or vacationing. Holly love spending time outdoors and getting to know your pet’s routine while offering them the critical exercise and companionship they need to live a long healthy life! Message Holly to discuss your pet care needs today! I enjoy walking dogs or making house visits during the week days when my children are at school (mornings, mid day, and early afternoon). I’m also available for evening and overnight visits in your home on a case by case basis. I’m looking to find clients who I can grow with and essentially become a part of the family. For now I’m offering care in your home or visits with your dog like walks, hikes, or play groups at an outdoor dog park. For overnight visits, I recommend visits 3 times in the day: once in the morning time for breakfast and a walk, once again in the afternoon, and then a night time visit as well before bedtime.

About: I have been around dogs and other pets my whole life!

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and animals have always been a big part of my life 💛 I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, getting to know their personalities, and making them feel safe, loved, and happy. I currently have a little French Bulldog at home, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, playtime, routines, and also the importance of patience and gentle care 🐶 I’m calm, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s individual needs.

I treat every dog like my own — with love, respect, and lots of attention 💛 Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! 🐾
About: We're a happy family looking to make your furry friend a member when they're here! Growing up with cats and dogs established my love of animals. My childhood dog made it to 17, and taught me a lot about handling senior animals. My wife and I currently have a 3 year old Shiba named Mikki. Shibas are notoriously intelligent and stubborn, which means we have needed to do our research. We believe this definitely helps us handle stubborn dogs, as well as finding fun methods to keep them engaged. We have been taking the utmost care with cleaning and sanitation of all surfaces, and require masks for all meets, pickups+drop offs. We also use dog safe wipes for paws and any other areas that need tending after walks. We have 7 day availability, and flexible hours for your needs. As this is our full-time job, we focus solely on our guests! They get walks 4x a day, with pee breaks in between. We are less than 5 minutes from the Quarry St dog park in Quincy, and frequently bring pups for meets/ playtime. If your dog requires any special attention, please let us know. With a large open living space, dogs gets the freedom to run around and play. They are only crated for timeouts or bedtime if that's how they generally sleep. Everyone is separated for drinking and feeding time. We follow your schedule as much as possible so they can adjust as easily as possible. Dogs have free roam of the house, and are let out to play and do business every 1-2 hours for as long as they want in our backyard. Our yard is fully fenced in, with a lot of open space and toys for everyone to play. We are always keeping an eye on them, and they are never left alone outside.
About: Hello friends! My name is Taylor and I am 32 years old. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I’m lucky enough to fill that space by caring for a wide variety of other people’s pets and giving them my full attention. With six years of experience pet sitting, I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, bunnies, fish, and chickens. I also spent 5 years in the Plymouth County 4-H program, where I trained, groomed, showed, and cared for dogs throughout Massachusetts. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior and follow structured routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy taking the time to learn what makes them happy. While your pet is in my care, you can expect regular updates along with photos/videos. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re away. I work full-time as a 911 operator. This schedule includes weeknight shifts from 4pm-12am, excluding Fridays. Because of this, I usually suggest that your animal is accustomed to time apart or there’s someone who’s available to check in while I’m working. I care for pets in their own homes whenever possible to keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner.

I booked Patti to walk our Aussie Doodle while we were away for nine days and she was awesome! She was professional, on time, communicative, sent great pics and she took care of our dog as if he were her own. She is extremely kind and has a genuine love for animals, our dog Finn loved her. I highly recommend Patti!!
