Dog Walking Shirley

“Bonnie did a great job introducing our new puppy to the neighborhood. She fed, watered, and walked him each day, right on time. I love the pics! They helped put this new fur mama's mind at ease. We look forward to the next vacation week to hire Bonnie again.”

About: Hello! My name is Katherine and my experience with animals has ranged from volunteering to in home sitting. I am so excited to offer my services and meet your furry friends. Not only do I love meeting new breeds, but I care about their health and wellbeing. My weekly visits to my local animal shelter gives me a chance to showcase my passion for helping dogs who lost their homes. My volunteer experience includes walking, feeding, and caring for various breeds of all sizes! These visits have made me familiar with a dog’s body language that may signal how they are feeling. We meet many new dogs each week that are new to this environment and may be very nervous and timid. This also has given me a chance to learn how I can gain a dog’s trust with friendly mannerisms. I can’t wait to get started on Rover and meet your furry little friends! I have recently graduated with a bachelors degree from college and am looking for opportunities to spend time with animals. Currently, I have a part-time job and have lots of time to care for and visit any animals needing company throughout the week. My dog at home gets daily walks and has a runner in my backyard for when she needs to go outside. I often give her treats when she is being a good girl and notice if she needs to use the bathroom outside. At my local shelter, I am able to feed large and small dogs and leash dogs who are unfamiliar with me. I tend to make sure my posture and manners are friendly with all the pups! I also make sure to notice when a dog needs praising and do not ignore their good behavior!

“We have been working with Blaise for a few weeks now, and we are so happy we found him! He is flexible, reliable, professional, affordable, and extremely punctual. He is highly communicative and easy to get ahold of. He is always flexible with any last minute changes, and he always arrives exactly when he says he will. We are so glad we found someone who we can trust so highly, and who our dog loves so much! Our dog is our baby and we know he is safe and happy with Blaise. If you are looking for a dog walker, look no further than Blaise!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From growing up with dogs to caring for my own as an adult, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I also previously walked and cared for dogs for clients years ago, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals — and I’ll care for your dog the same way I would want someone to care for mine. Providing pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part time as a healthcare professional, which gives me several days off during the week, including weekends, allowing me to provide flexible and dependable care for your pets. On the days I do work, I still have availability during mornings and evenings for feedings, walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship. Because caring for others is already a big part of who I am professionally and personally, I bring the same level of responsibility, patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every pet I care for. I understand how important consistency and reliability are for both pets and their owners, and I truly enjoy making animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in yours. I provide a calm, clean, loving, and supervised environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. During walks and playtime, I stay highly attentive by using secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas or interactions, monitoring weather conditions, and always ensuring pets are safely supervised both indoors and outdoors. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I take the time to build trust and provide individualized care, patience, and affection. As both a lifelong pet owner and healthcare professional, I take responsibility and safety very seriously, and you can feel confident knowing your pets will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own.

“Ann Marie has been wonderful with our pup. She is kind, professional, and trustworthy. I feel comfortable allowing her into our home. Her updates and photos brighten my day everytime and she is very sweet to our girl.”

About: Hello! I’m Cassidy, a dependable caregiver with hands‑on experience across a wide range of animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, cows, fish, and donkeys, and I’ve provided care for pigs, goats, turkeys, and other farm animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, behavioral support, and caring for animals from newborns to seniors. My background in social work helps me stay calm, organized, and attentive — especially with pets who are anxious, reactive, or slow to warm up. I communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s wellbeing and safety are my top priorities, and I bring both experience and heart to every visit. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages, from newborn kittens and calves to senior dogs, horses, and farm animals. As a result, routines like feeding, walking, enrichment, and medication management are second nature to me. I’m consistent, organized, and attentive, and I build my schedule around providing reliable, steady care that helps animals feel secure. Safety is always my top priority. Having worked with a wide range of species- cats, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more- I’m comfortable reading body language, managing different temperaments, and adjusting my approach to each animal’s needs. I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow instructions closely, and take the time to build trust with shy, anxious, or slow-to-warm-up pets. You can expect clear communication, consistent updates, and a dependable presence.

About: I have been pet sitting for 10 years, I board and do in home visits, I sit for dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and even fish! I prioritize animals safety while also providing proper enrichment, walks, hikes, playdates, and play sessions. I am also a Certified veterinary technician. I currently work at a doggy daycare, on days off i'm with pets all day walking and playing. During work days I walk dogs before work and then get a 3 hour break in the middle of the day where I hike with dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat and a friendly dog at home to keep your pets company. I find hiking trails and safe walking routes to take pets on fun adventures!

“Dee is compassionate, patient and reliable. She's also a very nice lady. My dog is comfortable with her so I will definitely hire her again”

About: I grew up in Montana with animals. We were always bringing home stray or injured animal asking my mom to help us take care of them. I now have a small Pomeranian dog. I am currently in Westborough Monday-Thursday. I may be able to accommodate lunchtime visits in the area. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I love taking walks and being in the fresh air. I hope we can be of service to you. My schedule fluctuates I am happy to accommodate last minute needs as I understand how we can worry about our small family members when we are away longer than expected.

About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve raised five dogs from puppyhood and have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a reliable choice for families with diverse pets who need patient, knowledgeable support. I offer fully open availability, providing flexible, reliable care whenever your pets need support. My schedule is built around consistency and convenience for pet parents, and every visit reflects my commitment to animal welfare. As I grow my business, I’m also working toward my long‑term dream of opening a multi‑species rescue to help even more animals thrive. I care for pets in the way that keeps them happiest and most comfortable. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.

“Ria took such amazing care of my two dogs. Her care and attention is evident in her communication and the dogs absolutely loved her. (They're watching for her to come back today.)”

About: I have grown up in a house with multiple dogs and cats, so I am extremely comfortable working with pets as being with them is all I have ever known. I participate in the Dog for a Day program at ACCT Philly, so I have experience in taking shelter dogs out for the day. I love taking my own dog on different adventures. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I have experience caring for timid rescues, energetic dogs, and dogs that have special needs such as medicine. I have experience caring for dogs both overnight and during the day. I am offering in home check ins/overnights, house sitting, and walking services. I can’t wait to get to know your furry friends! I am a college student home for the summer. My dog and I live a very active life in the summer, as we go on many adventures to different lakes and hiking spots. I have done this with other dogs I have cared for and would love to do so with yours! I am used to doing some athletic activity with my dog at least once a day. As I have grown up with animals, I am familiar with body language and how to keep a house pet-safe. I am open to specific needs for your pet such as medicine, particular food, allergies, crate training, etc. Your pet will be cared for the same way I care for my own!

About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant, as well as shelter experience. I'm available for drop in visits and dog walking. I do not have a set schedule at work yet so I will have different availability every week. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.
