“Jackie has been a godsend to both my and puppy. Seriously wouldn’t know what we would do with out her. She has beenvery invested to helping me figure out his needs as he adjusted to being in a new home and crate. She treats my home well and will even give the cat a little love too.”

“Rileigh was awesome. I had to make a last minute scramble for a walker and she came through for me. I was very impressed with her natural affection for Findlay and will definitely call on her again.”

“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!”

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.
About: With two years of caring for my own pets, I bring personal experience, patience, and genuine love that ensures every animal feels safe, happy, and valued. Pet care is part of my weekend routine. I’m fully available on Saturdays and Sundays to dedicate time, attention, and love to keep pets happy and cared for. At home, I give pets safe spaces, feeding, walks, and playtime. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines to keep pets comfortable and cared for.
About: There has never been a time in my life when I did not have at least one pet in my home. I truly love the companionship that animals can give us and in return I love being able to help provide them with a better life. I currently have 2 fat and happy indoor cats, and 2 happy and healthy dogs at my home. Both of my dogs were rescues, one dog came from Puerto Rico and the other one came from a shelter in Ohio. I live on a large property in Charlton with our own private walking trails right in my backyard. I love spending time outdoors and hiking, and I would love to be able to take your dogs along with me.
“I am so impressed with Mallory and James! They are so sweet and I can just tell by watching the videos they send me that my dog is so happy and excited to spend time with them! Thank you!”

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 1 pm to 11:30 pm. 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.
About: Grew up with multiple dogs at home and have watched family pets. Have experience with some exotic animals and am willing to care for them as well. I have a very flexible schedule, I will be able to care for pets of all ages and sizes, with few or with many needs. I will follow instructions left for your beloved pets, will leash and crate them as need. I am ready for long walks and relaxing for all energy needs. I am not able to bring pets into my home, but will happily visit or stay at your pets home to fulfill any needs.
About: Throughought the years I've cared for Animals. What started as a volunteer experience at a shelter 8 years ago turned into my full-time job being an animal care associate. The position comes with many responsibilities such as training all animals-even behavioral cases, medicating, tending to each ones personal needs, vet visits for each one, feeding, outings, create stimulation for them, etc. Each animals care is my priority. I'm currently in the midst of finding a new shelter to work at. That being said I'm available weekdays from 8 in the morning until evening. I will care for each pet accordingly. I will continue their routine and any established guidelines for their care, whether it be medications, allergies or just preferences.
About: I have worked with dog trainers so I know some training skills needed to help some pups. I also can administer meds if needed. I have had farm animals so I have that experience as well. I am looking to fill my time with some amazing animals because of my love for them. I take care of everything from farm animals to cats. I can watch cat friendly dogs in my home. I have gates and a safe environment. I am more than willing to watch pets in the clients home to make them feel comfortable and help with routine.

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.
“I asked Carina to walk my dog with only 30 minute notice and she was able to quickly come to my house and walk my pup. My dog was very excited about her hour walk and looked like she had a great time. I will definitely book Carina again. Highly recommend her!”

“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 two dogs, and an elderly cat that keeps to himself. Our yard is about an acre on a quiet dead end road and we have an electric fence for our pups, but can of course use leashes and leads as well!

Walks, feedings, and cuddle time are built into my schedule, not rushed or squeezed in. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home while in my care. Fenced in yard on 3 acres of open land.

About: My name is Taylor, but I go by Reya. I am looking to become more active and spend some time with some of your furry family members! I currently have a 12 year old cat named Sully, a 1.5 year old, deaf ACD named Cody and a 6 year old Pomeranian mix named Charlotte. I have spent the past 2.5 years dog walking under companies in Boston. I now work at a vet clinic as a receptionist. I miss spending my time outdoors and the hands on experience I gain with dog walking! I have experience with dogs with special needs (deafness blindness and some medical issues). I also have basic experience with training and dogs with behavioral difficulties. I have learned a lot about body language throughout the years and love to get a dog’s brain working on a walk to make it more enriching. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Most days I work 10 hour shifts, but on weekends and most Mondays, I am available regularly! Feel free to reach out and check on my availability! I have some experience with dog training through training my own dogs and working with training companies as a walker in the past, so I can use those skills to help take care of your dog! I am more than happy to encourage any training you are already doing! I do only participate in positive reinforcement, but am willing to discuss our options to keep everyone comfortable and happy. Any instructions you leave me with will be followed!
