Dog Walking South Dorchester

“Nancy was great with my Setter Georgie! Many people say they'll treat your pup like he/she was theirs. Nancy truly does that! She is quick to respond, on time and my Setter loves his walks with her.”

About: I have taken care of all different breeds and understand what puppies need versus senior dogs. We own our home and have a fenced in yard, but also live near many trails of varying lengths. Tell us what your dog needs and we will be happy to oblige. All dogs deserve the very best days. I am currently working part time and have evening and weekends open to board. Our own dog walks 3-4 times a day and would be happy to have a fellow dog for play time. My schedule adjusts daily, so I am also available for daily watch sessions. I have a fenced in yard and many local trails to walk/run depending on what your dog needs. We know how to crate dogs and also allow for freedom throughout our home. I am also capable of following directions for needs at your house and very responsible with keys.

“Angelina was wonderful! Accepted our last minute request and went above and beyond. Would definitely have her again to care for and walk our boy.”

“Lauren was so nice and friendly and so good with Cookie. She came thru in a pinch and I am so grateful. Cookie was so happy to see her! I will rebook with Lauren!”

“Danielle was wonderful with my senior pup, she was very detailed in her notes and gave such compassion and care to my dog. Would recommend her!”

“Great walkers :)) so friendly and accommodating. I appreciate when a walker does their best to do long distance walks in 30 minutes. In a dream world, I’d love to pay for an hour but just can’t afford it right now, so having a walker that is putting in the effort, means so much. Nothing better than a tired dog!”

“Bonnie has been a wonderful daily dog walker for our Stevie girl! Bonnie is very communicative and is able to be flexible with my fiancé and my unique schedules week to week.”

About: Before you book with me, you should know why I’m a sitter on Rover! I’m a lifelong dog lover and former dog mom to a very energetic Goldendoodle who was the center of my world. My life revolved around long walks, games of fetch, park adventures, and plenty of snuggles, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like family. I work from home 2–3 days a week, so your pup will have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long stretches. While I don’t have a yard, I believe dogs deserve more than just a quick walk around the block. Every stay includes at least one trip to a local park each day for fetch, exploring, or simply getting their energy out. I welcome small to medium-sized dogs that are friendly with young children, as I have a toddler at home. Whether your dog is full of energy or happiest curled up on the couch, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles while they’re here. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own. 🐾 Size wise, I will accept dogs that are up to 50-55 lbs. I will facilitate at least a 1 hour walk during the day, plus two other potty breaks. We will get lots of play during the day if I work from home and if not, at the end of the day. I am happy to prepare food puzzles or play tug or hang out on the couch. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only care for small to medium sized dogs that are friendly with young children, as I have a toddler at home. I don’t have a fenced yard, but all outdoor time is supervised and on leash (off leash can be done in safe places), with plenty of walks and park visits. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I only accept one dog at a time so each one gets the attention they deserve.

“Ange is incredible with our two larger rescues! She does well taking them for long walks, catering to both of their very different personalities, making sure they have food and water at all times. They absolutely love her!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 7 years and have been around animals my whole life. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. I’m very attentive and patient and always try to match each pet’s personality and routine, whether that means lots of walks and playtime or just calm companionship and cuddles. I truly treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available before and after work, evenings, weekends, and overnight. I plan my schedule carefully so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and providing dependable, compassionate care. I always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication when caring for pets. I’m very respectful of each pet’s home and follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure, keep pets in safe areas at all times, and never introduce them to unfamiliar animals without permission. I’m attentive, calm, and careful, and I always aim to create a comfortable, stress-free environment where pets feel safe and cared for.

About: ***I am only able to house sit during the day, not available overnight*** I have had a family dog in my life ever since I was born. My first dog lived to be 15 and he lost the ability to use his legs around the age of 9. We took care of him by giving him medication, carrying him in and outside of the house, and even purchasing a wheelchair for him to be able to go on walks again. I was 16 when this was happening and played a huge role in taking care of him. We had another dog throughout this time and were responsible for feeding, bathing, and walking both dogs. I now have one dog who I walk regularly and take on hikes. I have dog-sat for both neighbors' and family's dogs and cats since I was 15. I am currently starting a part-time position and will have more available during weekdays to spend time with your sweet pets! I tend to have few obligations on the weekends, as well. I have two friendly dogs who live at my house, one that I just adopted as my own puppy to take care. We have a very large yard that he runs around in with an electric fence. However, we do have a long run that is tied to a tree in the middle of my yard. I would prefer to take care of pets in my clients' homes in order to make the pet and owners feel the safest.

“Jose is incredibly kind and compassionate and my dog - who is usually pretty wary of new people - warmed right up to him! I would recommend him to anyone that owns a dog.”

“David is awesome with handling puppies, adults and dogs who are more anxious. Our dog gets so excited to see David everytime he comes. David does a great job of tiring them out and giving them opportunities to be social and get play time with other dogs.”

About: Hi - My name is Sarah, and I am a life-long dog and cat owner who can't wait to meet your fur baby! Dogs have always had a particularly special place in my heart; when I was a kid, I knew the names of every dog in my childhood neighborhood. I have experience walking, playing, feeding, and doing some light grooming of dogs since I was twelve years old. I have experience playing with, feeding, and doing some light grooming of cats since about the same time. I have also owned mice and hamsters at various points throughout my life. I have a gentle demeanor that makes animals naturally trust me. I am just as happy to be playful or cuddle on the couch with a pet, and I am naturally cautious, making sure to build trust with pets so they can get to know and feel comfortable with me. I look forward to caring for your pets!! I am an educator who is off for the summer, so my week day availability is very open until the end of August. After August, I will still be available nights and weekends. I will work with the safety measures you have in place at your home. I will keep a watchful eye on your pets inside and outside. I have experience crating dogs and can do that if necessary. I will also make sure leashes and harnesses fit well and are not frayed or torn.

“Lydializ is amazing. We feel so lucky to have her as our dog walker. She takes such good care of our dog. I would have been so stressed returning to work if not for her!”

Jenny G.

“Mary was so great with our dog! She had good communication, took her on nice walks, and took very cute pictures of her! She definitely went above and beyond to make sure Lonnie was comfortable and feeling okay!”
