Dog Walkers in Sturbridge, MA

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and horses for as long as I remember. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few years. Any family pets we've had (cats, dogs, and horses) have lived all the way up to their senior years (and even passed the "intended age range" of their breed). I'm working full time from Wednesday to Saturday 10 am to 8:30 pm (sometimes upwards to an hour longer there) But I'm available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. If it's just to walk your pet or drop in, I can come over before work. I can house sit starting Sunday, but can't stay until I have to go to work Wednesday. I absolutely love pets and will treat them like my own. I can't board or take them to my house. I'll keep them safe while in my care. I have always been an animal lover since I can remember. So their safe in my hands when I'm walking them, coming for a drop in, or house sitting. Due to my work schedule, I am available Sunday through Tuesday for walking, drop ins, and house/dog sitting. I can either spend part of my day or my whole day with your pet. I try to fit in as much time with my animals as I can. Taking my dog for a walk, groom my familys horses, and even cuddle with my cats. I can make some exceptions with house sitting and drop ins. HOUSE SITTING: I'll gladly accept! If i am in college as well, I'll bring my laptop to work on homework. DROP INS: I will come in before work (around 8 am) to feed/walk them and I can come in after work for a check up (around 9 or 10 pm). If your yard is fenced in, I will gladly sit outside with your pet. Maybe even take a book with me so your dog can stretch their legs, play for a little bit and get some fresh air for a while. I will treat your dogs and cats like their my own and give them as much care as I can along with play times.

“Derek was great with Jasper. He was able to assist us with walking him on short notice, and was very responsive and communicative. I would recommend Derek to anyone who needs their pup walked!”

“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”

“We have used Beeca for watching our fur baby at least a half dozen times. Becca is always in communication with us and sends the best pictures! Highly recommend”

“I highly recommend having Jane as a dog walker! She is quick to respond to messages and great at communicating. I loved that she sent me pictures of my dog on their walk and kept me updated on how she was doing while I was at work. She was great with my little corgi! Both Poppy and I are looking forward to using Jane for more dog walks to come!”

About: I am very open in my schedule and absolutely love dogs. I have grown up with at least one dog in my home my whole life and now own my own black lab mix. To me, pets are family! I have been a nanny for many years and all of the families have also had dogs that I would take care of simultaneously. I also worked for a few families to care for their dogs in the past assisting with feedings, play time, and walks. I have some experience training using a clicker as I have trained my own dog and know of little tricks. Dogs brighten up my day and I love being around them whenever I can. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of open time in my schedule to attend to your animals and give them lots of play time and attention! I offer caring for pets in my client’s homes and always make sure to ask about fenced in yards, safety precautions, allergies, and any other precautions the owner needs me to be aware of. I also only do walks on sidewalks or non busy roads when possible.

“Sabrina has been great with Max; she has taken him on several walks and he is always excited to see her. You can tell she really cares about your pets as if they were her own.”

About: Hi, I’ve owned all types of animals my entire life like dogs, cats, bunnies and birds. I currently work at a pet resort, where I look after pets every day, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or feeding time. I treat every animal like my own. I’m also well trained in giving medications or any type of special care! I know how important your pets are, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work at a pet resort where I work all types of hours, from Tuesday-Saturday. I can work anywhere from 6AM-6PM but I’m very flexible with fitting you and your pups into my schedule! Since I have so much experience with animals, I’m okay with helping out with almost anything you need for your pets! Whether it’s cleaning, potty breaks, playing, feeding, medications. I’d love to just spend some time with your pet and be their friend! I do not take pets to my home as I have reactive animals, but I’m always okay with commuting to yours!

“What an angel. She worked with my dog for as long as it took to get him to go outside. Forever grateful. Highly recommend.”

“Brittany was fantastic. She’s very reliable and always arrived on time. My dog, Bailey, is very excitable when greeting people or dogs; Brittany took it all in stride and helped me work with Bailey to get her to be calmer. Will definitely call on Brittany again! Bailey loves her!”

About: I have three dogs of all ages in my home. One of 9, one is 3, and one is 6 months! All dogs all ages and sizes deserve all the love and attention. The trick to dog care is knowing the signs dogs give you. All dogs go at there own speed! I currently have lots of time on my hands therefore gives me a lot of time to get to know and love some fur babies! I believe all dogs are happier when active, weather that's playing fetch or a slow pace walk. Always make sure they get the play time they need and lots of treats of course!

About: I've had animals in my life all 33 years, I love caring for dogs part time to assist others when they need a home for their dogs to relax in, or even in the comfort of their own home! I have cats, so I am VERY used to routine (otherwise I get a paw to the face!) All joking aside, I'd love to work with your animals on the weekends. I am very adaptable to your needs, and I am comfortable with animal care in any way/shape/form. I have several friends that I assist in caring for and can provide references if needed. Thank you.

“Katie has been walking Page for a couple of weeks now and we feel very lucky. She is very responsive, conscientious, and great with a timid rescue dog who takes time to trust. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had pets in my life since I was a baby. We have enjoyed a lab, standard poodle and currently a mini cocker spaniel poodle mix. I love getting outside and being active with pets. I am at home with my daughter most of the time and I enjoy doing side hustles like selling vintage clothing online and seeking out antiques. We get outside with our dog, Carl often and would love to get a chance to offer outside time and love to other pets on Rover too! I always approach pets slowly with care and love. They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.

“Yet again Kailee came thru in a pinch! So helpful and so wonderful with our Delilah!”

About: Dogs have always been my favorite animal since I can remember! I love all breeds and will walk, feed, play with, cuddle & love every pup I am entrusted with. Working with dogs is my dream job and you can be assured that I will be 100% responsible with your pets. After all- they're part of your family! This is what i do for a living, so i have open availability and have the opportunity to be very flexible! I take care of dogs daily and love it I have a big open yard and field, both with a long run for your dogs to be on outside. I can take them for a walk on the property leashed (unless trained off leash) and can also provide a loving and safe home for them while youre away. I have a crate here and beds! And will always be attentive to their wants and needs.

“I am so glad I found Tiffany on Rover. She’s very knowledgeable and treats Zuko very well. Coming from out of state she had made finding a dog walker super easy. She’s very accommodating and would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. On multiple occasions I have taken care of my familys dogs, stayed over night to do so, and visited friends houses to provide care for their dogs. I have a deep love for animals. As a pet owner myself, I recognize how nerve wracking it can be to leave your animal in the hands of anothers care. It is my priority to alleviate your worries and provide the best care for your pet! I am currently in a nursing program and it is hard to make ends meet with my regular per diem job. This is the perfect opportunity for me to make some extra cash! In a way that I will enjoy as animals bring much joy to my life. It is important for us as humans to provide lots of love to animals so they know they are safe! But we all know sometimes pets like to push boundaries and I am comfortable being loving but stern when necessary.

About: I’ve had experience watching pets and dog walking for several years. I’m primarily looking to do drop ins or walking in the mornings, but am flexible and open to other offers, especially during the summertime! I am a teacher looking supplement some of my income and fill my time during my summer off. I enjoy being active so I’m very open to caring for energetic dogs and puppies! Your dogs safety will always be my number one priority. I am willing to learn about the individual needs of the pets I care for.

“Mallory and James are excellent! They take such great care of my dogs and send detailed updates so I know exactly how my dogs are doing when I’m away. Both my dogs have been won over by the care and love given by these two.”
