Dog Walking Somerset

About: I will treat your pets as if they are my own. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. I’ve fostered puppies, watched neighbors pets, worked at an animal shelter, and have training skills. I have my own dog as well! An Australian shepherd who just turned a year old! I work mostly in the afternoons 1pm-6pm I’m available for walks later in the evening into late at night! I’m available early in the mornings as well! I’m currently in grad school, doing my internship, and working full time so I can do odd hours or work around schedules pretty well! I care for pets as if they’re my own. I understand wanting someone who will treat your pet with patience and care. They are your family and should be treated as such!

“Kaitlin is our dog walker, she is responsible, shows up on time, keeps us up to date and is very knowledgeable about dogs.”

About: As a seasoned pet owner with years of dedicated care to my own 15-year-old Morkie and extensive experience caring for family members' and friends' Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and various other breeds, I bring a wealth of expertise to Rover. My specialization lies in the compassionate care of senior dogs, including hands-on tasks like changing diapers, administering medication in pill pockets, and even first aid training. What truly sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care and companionship to your beloved furry friends, particularly on those hectic days when you need extra support. I prioritize not only meeting their basic needs but also engaging them in stimulating play and showering them with love and attention. Whether it's reinforcing good behavior or offering gentle assistance to senior pets, I ensure every interaction is guided by patience, understanding, and a genuine passion for animal welfare. With me, you can rest assured that your cherished companions are in capable hands, receiving the highest standard of care and attention. I am a substitute teacher with a bachelors in communications. I am available during school vacations, as well as most weekends to care for your furry-friends as well as evening ands even weekdays when I’m not teaching! I am available to care for your furry-friends in your home. I am a licensed and insured driver which will enable me to bring your pets to the park, on play dates, or appointments as needed. I will always treat your pets and home as I would my own.

About: Hi, I’m Sam! I’m 31 and have 1 cat. Smoke and drug free. I’ve had many other pets of varying species (if you need someone to take care of and love your exotics or small animals i can do that also!) I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your babies! Currently have a full-time job in Pawtucket. I work 9:30-6 but am available before and after that. Tuesdays and Sundays always off. If you’re close enough to my job I can swing by during my lunch break. I am able to walk around my property and neighborhood with a leash. I have a one floor house that we own. I have an indoor outdoor cat who is very friendly. No smoke, no drug, no alcohol home. I have my own transportation. I have had to administer insulin to my own cat along with pills and liquid medication so i’m comfortable with medications.

“My dog got a cut on her ear walking in the woods, and Brittanie responded perfectly. She reached out to me, we discussed what to do, and she waited for my sister to arrive. Turned out to be very minor, but I was so grateful she was extra cautious and communicative. I feel really comfortable with her caring for my Millie.”

“Very responsive and good communicator!”

About: What sets me apart is that I really take the time to get to know each dog and what makes them happiest. I’ve worked with everything from wiggly puppies who need a little help with training to older dogs who just want a slow, peaceful walk and some extra TLC. I’m super patient, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup wants to run, sniff, play, or just take it easy, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Pet care fits into my routine perfectly. I have tons of free time, so your pet gets my full attention and flexibility. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m able to adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like a job it’s just a great part of my day. When I care for pets at your home, I try to keep everything as normal as possible for them. I stick to their usual feeding and walk times, give any meds they need, and just hang out to keep them company. I’m not perfect, but I’m always patient and caring, and I make sure to keep their space clean and safe. I’ll check in with you regularly so you know how they’re doing. If I’m watching pets at my place, I make sure they have a cozy spot to relax and plenty of attention. I’m pretty chill and try to keep things low-stress so they feel comfortable. Either way, I just want your pet to feel safe and cared for, even if I’m not perfect!

About: I’ve been in a pet loving family since I can remember. Taking in animals in need and caring for neighborhood pets is something I have been doing since a young age. I am a go to friend for someone needing a house sitter while they are away or just someone to stop in to feed. I have pets of my own including a cat needing medication and have experience caring for cats with special needs. I would love to make my new part time job caring for your pet. I currently work from home, Monday through Friday and have weekends off. I can drop in for a visit or walk your dog anytime with some notice. I am very detail oriented and take pride in doing my very best. I have no issues following specific direction especially for high maintenance or high need pets. From my past experiences with many different kinds or animals I can safely judge when redirection or intervention would be necessary.

About: In my 30 years, I have always had at least one pet in my care. Growing up, I took care of dogs, goats, chickens, rabbits, degus and more. I have personal experience with "exotic" animals such as hamsters, rats, chinchillas, etc. I have a combined 7 years of experience with animal care in a professional setting, including work at a pet store, as an Animal Care technician for laboratory animals and as a receptionist and kennel/boarding assistant in a veterinary hospital. I am a true animal lover and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy to care for your furry family. I am available several days a week for drop in visits for new and current clients. Drop ins include let outs, feedings, play time, medications, etc as needed. I am available for live in care to current clients only. There are days that I will not be able to be full time at your home.

About: Although I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for pets. I've provided pet sitting and drop-in care for friends and friends of friends, giving me experience with dogs and cats of different personalities, routines, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Owning my own dog has taught me the value of patience, enrichment, positive interactions, and paying attention to each dog's individual personality and needs. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys getting outside for walks and adventures, and I love making sure dogs have the opportunity to explore, sniff, and enjoy their time outside at their own pace. Whether your dog loves a longer adventure walk, a game of fetch, or simply some extra companionship, I'll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. For cats and more relaxed pets, I'm just as happy spending quality time keeping them company, playing with their favorite toys, or providing a calm and comforting presence while you're away. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can leave knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like one of my own. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Since the school year has begun, my availability is more structured as I return to teaching. It is more focused on providing weekend support and occasional weekdays during the school breaks. I will continue to update my schedule and communicate clearly to make sure I can provide reliable care for the pets I commit to. I enjoy being able to provide pets with attention, exercise, and companionship when their families need an extra hand. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. Before each visit or walk, I will take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, and any specific needs or preferences. I believe every pet is different, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I understand that some dogs may be nervous, shy, or need extra patience when experiencing new people, places, or situations. I will always take the time to build trust, pay attention to their body language, and adjust my approach based on what helps them feel safe and confident. For walks, I focus on creating a safe and enjoyable experience by paying attention to your dog's energy level, surroundings, and comfort. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic adventure or a slower walk with plenty of time to sniff and explore, I will follow their pace and needs. During drop-in visits, I will treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet's routine consistent, and provide updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing they are happy and cared for. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both you and your pet—giving you peace of mind while your furry friend enjoys some extra love and attention.

About: Dogs have been the heartbeat of my life for as long as I can remember. From my childhood pup who lived to be 17, to my first adult dog who gave me 16 years of unforgettable adventure, I have deep experience caring for canines at every stage of life—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Currently, I’m the proud parent of two incredible doodles, Macchiato and Noisette. They are well-socialized daycare veterans who absolutely love welcoming new friends into our pack! After a rewarding 25-year career as a hairstylist, I am slowly pivoting to include my passion for detail and customer care toward pet care services. I can’t wait to treat your pups like family! With advanced notice, my schedule is incredibly flexible. When your pups are staying with me, their comfort and safety are my top priorities—I ensure they are never left alone for more than 4 to 5 hours at any time and provide tailored care to each dogs needs. To make things as convenient as possible for you, I also offer pickup and drop-off services. I proudly service the Aquidneck Island and East Bay communities, including Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth, Bristol, and Tiverton. Your pups will be treated exactly like members of my own family. I live on a spacious half-acre of fully fenced yard, offering plenty of room for your dogs to stretch their legs, zoom around, or just relax in the sun ( new PUP DECK coming soon). As a dedicated dog parent myself, I completely understand how tough it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else. That is why I am highly receptive to your specific routines, preferences, and instructions. I pride myself on being a clear communicator and highly dependable because I know that when it comes to your pets, trust is absolutely everything.

About: I personally walk or hike my dog every day despite inclement weather. I own a high energy power breed. Ensuring he is given a high quality of life and general enrichment daily. I would love to give your dog the same. Through walks, hikes, or adventures letting them fulfill their needs so they come home tired in the best way possible. I understand dogs on a deeper level through body language and “why do they do that” I want to be a support or an aid in your life to help you with your fur baby. Thus creating a higher quality of life and care. My focus is respect, communication, and creating a relationship with your dog so they feel safe and can enjoy their time to the fullest. I strive to give high quality care. I would do this through play, training, walking, and enrichment. I own a German shepherd named Zeus and I love my life with him. Together we have traveled 11 states just the 2 of us. I focus on creating a safe, welcoming, fulfilling, enriching, time. To our dogs, we are their entire world. I want to support you in giving your dog the best quality of life. Safety and respect are my priorities. Along with communication through the app, and photos. Patience, reading body language, and moving at their own pace. I maintain a calm demeanor and focus to create an engaging relationship built on trust, and care. I work with infants as my main job. Creating a warm, welcoming, supportive, and loving environment is my niche. I love care taking and want to include that in other areas to my life.

“Thx for update, being on time and taking my suggestions to make it a good first visit.”

“I recently booked Christina to spend time with my Corgi, and I couldn't be happier with my experience with her! Before booking, Christina kindly agreed to do a meet and greet with my pup, which really put my mind at ease. You could immediately tell she cares deeply about being a reliable resource and great pet sitter. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care. Christina sent me numerous pictures and updates throughout her visits, keeping me informed about my pup's adventures. It was lovely to see the two of them having so much fun! I would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Her attention to detail and love for animals shine through in her work. I'll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: Took a little time off to Travel Nurse but I’m back!! ☺️ I’m a dog mom and a Nurse of 13years. Dog mom to a very friendly snorkie named Gronk (Go Pats! lol) I’ve had him for 10 years, & a 2 year old Pomsky named Skyler who is the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen, with bright blue eyes 🩵 We spend a lot of time outside (when the weather permits) it’s a short walk to the beach from my house & I also have a fully fenced in back yard! I do outside Potty breaks every 2-4 hours, which can be adjusted according to your fur baby’s needs. I can keep any feeding schedule you already have in place.

“Stuart is great to work with, I’d highly recommend him for any of your dog walking or other care needs. He is a clear communicator, proactive with updates, and flexible with scheduling…plus our dog loves him!”

“Caroline is very dependable. My dog was nervous at first, walking with a stranger, but now she wags her tail when Caroline arrives and enjoys her walks very much.!”

About: I volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am great with both dogs and cats. I grew up with my cat, Hepsiba, born before me who died when I was nearly 20 years of age. We were best friends before I knew what that was. Then at the age of 12 or so, my parents adopted 2 English cocker spaniels, brother and sister. Robbie and Flora. So I was taking care of three pets. Then I raised Bruce, a rescued black lab mix from August 2013 until 2025 with some breaks for the US Army. And I taught him very well; he passed in June 2025 but he will always be my companion at my side. For some time I carried him, 120 lbs, up and down flights of stairs. Sometimes from here to there, carefully, comfortably, gingerly. I have a background in psychology, and I’m a dog trainer and a bit of a behaviorist. I’ve taken care of pets for family members and friends. And did so professionally in the past prior to Rover, after friends got me into it, which I started in August 2025. I’m great with animals. After spending even just a short time with them we can often establish a connection or rapport, especially when training a younger pet (or caring for an older dog). I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, I could run with your dog, play with them, but mostly we’ll be doing what they want - within reason. I will basically be spending the entire time with your pets. We’ll wake up between five to eight in the morning, and we’ll go bed between eight and eleven at night. I’ll be up with them as they need and we’ll be in and out much more than is required. I am delicate and meticulous and believe in leaving no trace that I was there. I want my client after their time away from home and their animals to not be met with the mess that I could be leaving behind. I am committed to performing an act of cleaning based on the tools available.

“Isabel was wonderful with Daisy! She was very friendly, followed all of my instructions carefully, and took great care of her during their 30 minute walk. Daisy seemed very comfortable and happy with her. I really appreciated the communication as well. I would absolutely book with her again!”
