Dog Walkers in Southwick, MA

“Pat’s been doing a wonderful job with Rudy. I know he loves his time with her and she is dedicated to making ours dogs happy. She takes the time to interact with them and learn what they like. Couldn’t be more grateful. She’s also had great advice for me along the way when I would ask for help. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!”

“Excellent walk with Penny this week as always, she loves her walks, you are always on time, which we think Penny knows you are coming LOL!Thanks again!”

“We can always count on Jocelyn to take care of Kevin when we go away. He is used to her now and loves to go on walks with her! We highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Cant thank you enough for being so patient with my stubborn pup! I wouldve given up by now but i so appreciate all the love & help youve given her”

“What a sweetheart. She was early, really friendly & you could tell she love dogs! My Beagles loved her! She accommodated a short notice request ( not saying that she’ll do that all the time), but she did for me, and I was super grateful. I would absolutely use her again!”

About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 4 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 11 year old daughter who adores all animals! With the help of my spouse who works at a local fire department, we can ensure your pets feel loved every second of the day with his rotating schedule to my day shift schedule! I work day shifts but my spouse is a fire fighter so has a lot of time to help out in between shifts. He will be assisting me with the day shift duties and I’ll be home at night and weekends. There will never be a time when your pup is not cared for. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are kenneled at night or when not being watched directly. Dogs are given daily walks and are given tons of attention :)

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Walking the neighborhood dogs was my favorite job I ever had. I have always had a love for animals from growing up on a farm. I currently work part time so I have lots of time during the day to take care of and love animals. I also love to go on walks and adding a cute four legged creature makes them even better. I have a partially fenced in large yard for all of the fur babies to run around. I also have two strictly indoor cats that would love to make new friends.

“EJ is the best! She had an instant rapport with my dog and inside of a week, he loves her! She has always been on time, great communication and is particularly watchful of him when they are at the dog park. Henry is going to miss her when we head back home!”

About: I have dog sat for countless dogs and there is nothing more special than meeting a puppy for the first time and creating a bond that they remember next time you see them. I brought my dog to some training classes and watched how they train the puppy’s and how they use treats to help them. I taught my dog how to do all the tricks that I love to show off when new people meet her. I love spending time with dogs and meeting new puppy’s!! I’m a college student at Westfield State University and play basketball here! I’m home here and there in Framingham and I have a car at school that I can get around with! My dog is a cuddlier so most of the time we chill out on the couch and snuggle. However she loves her walks and car rides and all you have to say it “do you want..” and she’s up and ready to go. When it comes to other peoples houses I normally let the owners tell me about the dog and house of course, but I also like to let the dog show me around by laying in spots they like to lay and looking out the windows they like!

“Heather is the absolute best dog walker we have ever had. She goes above and beyond on each visit, always staying longer than she needs to to make sure our dog is happy and taken care of. We trust her completely. She will even bring her own toys to help exercise our very active beagle. She sends adorable pictures and notes with each visit. Recently, she went back to our house after her scheduled visit to open windows because she was concerned the fumes from some floor staining would affect our animals! She is very attentive and responds quickly to any questions or concerns we have. Her schedule is very flexible and accommodates whatever we need. You can tell she truly cares for all animals. We love Heather and recommend her without any reservation!!”

About: “Wag more. Bark less.” is my motto and animals are a quintessential part of my identity. I have always loved animals of all kinds and have spent many years caring for them in different capacities. I got my dog fix in high school by volunteering at my local shelter. During and after college I worked at a boarding facility for 5 years cleaning and providing playtime to canine and feline guests and was a doggie daycare counselor. Finally, I now work as a receptionist at a veterinary office. All of these jobs have given me experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities - you name it, I’ve seen it. I have also been fostering dogs, puppies, cats and kittens in my home for two years (in addition to my own 2 dogs) so have constantly adapted my daily routine to fit my household - I have patience and experience with puppies especially. I work full time but live less than 10 minutes from my job so come home during lunchtime. I also have flexibility to bring animals to work with me if needed. I work long days so have a few days completely off during the week. I have a finished basement that provides peace and privacy for pet guests at my house. When visiting your home I will treat it as my own and leave it as I found it and abiding by any house rules.

“Amanda has been to our house a few times to watch our 2 rescue pups. They absolutely love her! She is wonderful with them. She is a sweetheart of a young lady and I will definitely keep using her!”

“Deborah has always been an animal lover. She is very responsible and always kind to animals. She will treat your pets as is they were her own. She has always had both cats and dogs as pets and would be great as your pet sitter.”

“I have known Lilly all of my life, and her life has always been surrounded with pets. From older rescues to pups, cats, and farm animals, fish, reptiles, and rodents, she has always been a kind and loving companion to any animal that has come her way. Lilly is very punctual and professional as well as understanding and respectful when it comes to caring for pets as she often does for me.
