Dog Walking in Taunton

About: I’ve just recently moved back home from Scotland after being there for about 7 years. While there I did use rover as a part time job while finishing my Veterinary Medicine degree. I’m happy to announce I graduated in 2024 and have been a practicing vet since. I love learning from the pets I sit because every time personality is different and each experience can give me so much. I’m happy to cater to whatever you pet needs! I have a varying schedule throughout the week. I work most week days with various start times but most end times at 7.30pm. I’m happy to help owners organize with me what works best for them though! I do not take safety lightly and am happy to cater to whatever needs are required by the owner. I do have family pets at home who don’t like strangers so unfortunately I will not be allowing anyone to be boarded at my house.

Your favorite family member will love being pampered with my treats and snuggles- I bring nothing but PAWSitive vibes to every home I enter. I provide 100% of my clients with photo updates. I am no stranger to caring for canines. I grew up living with dogs all my life and I have years of experience pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. I consider myself a genuine dog lover and there is truly nothing better than puppy-love! I very much have an affinity for cats as well and am well-versed in providing care for chickens, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, frogs, lizards, etc!

About: I grew up dog sitting for my neighbors, friends, and cousins as I've always had a known strong passion for animals my whole life. I currently have an older Chihuahua, so I understand how to be extremely gentle, patient, and attentive to comfort, slower movement, and health needs. I also have a young, very active Yorkie that I personally trained to do tricks like speak, play dead, and give paw, along with other basic obedience skills. This has given me experience with consistency, positive reinforcement, and keeping energetic dogs mentally stimulated. I’m comfortable balancing both calm, gentle care for senior pets and structured, engaging attention for younger, active dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already work part time at a doggy day care, so I’m around animals regularly and used to handling different personalities and energy levels. I’m available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Tuesdays, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pet sitting, walks, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I care for pets in a safe, calm, and structured environment. At my home, I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs that can provide company if your pet is comfortable around others. I also have a large, comfy crate available if a dog needs their own quiet space to relax or rest. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own environment while maintaining their normal routine. I make sure they are safe, supervised, and given plenty of attention, including walks, playtime, feeding, and any specific care instructions provided. My goal is always to keep pets feeling secure, cared for, and stress-free whether they’re in my home or theirs.

About: BOOK 7 NIGHTS AND GET YOUR 8th NIGHT FREE!!! (On your first stay only) I WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING DOGS 30lbs AND UNDER FOR THE SAFETY OF MY OWN SMALL PETS. (Although I will make larger size exceptions for elderly lazy pups ❤️) Hello and thanks for considering me for your pet sitter! Your pet will enjoy all the pleasures of home and more! We are a loving, pet friendly family that any pet would love to be part of (even if it's only for a short time). My name is Breanna and I have had animals my whole life and simply adore being around them. I enjoyed being with them so much that I opened my own grooming salon several years back and am still enjoying it today. I work from home so I am used to having my four legged visitors around very often. I thought that I could help my fluffy friends even more by letting them stay with me rather then those terrible kennels so they too could enjoy their vacations too! Your pets will be treated like part of the family and if you choose, I can offer grooming services as well. We are more then happy to take in older dogs as well as younger and they are always guaranteed a warm, soft place to sleep. Summer is no problem either as there is central air so your pet will be totally comfortable at all times. Does your dog need medications? If so no problem, just tell me what to do and your pet will be taken care of. We do have two young children so your dog must be ok with kids. We also have two small dogs who are very friendly so your dog must be ok with other pets as well. I am pet cpr and first aid certified through the Red Cross and also a certified pet groomer. If this sounds like a home you'd like to let your pets visit while you are away i would be more then happy to meet you and set up a meet and greet! I hope to hear from you! Note: At this time I’m unable to accommodate pitbulls and German shepherds. Sorry for any inconvenience! I’m a self employed, work from home mom so it’s very easy for me to care for your pets. I make my own schedule and absolutely love what I do. Having extra pups in the house is a huge bonus for me because I’m a huge animal person! I love taking the pups outside into the back yard or for a walk through the golf course we live on. I have two wonderful fur babies to keep your pets company. When inside your pets will enjoy a “part of the family” life style with lots of love, cuddles and lounging on the couch.

“Amethyst is a joy to work with she is on time she’s kind and she is someone I would highly recommend to a friend or others who need a dog sitter or walker”

About: I absolutely adore animals. I have a dog of my own that I take care of and I took care and puppy-sat my sisters dog & cats for months beforehand. I am only comfortable watching friendly and clean pets! I have open availability & would love to help out if you need to get away or just have work! I'd describe my personality as friendly, comfortable to talk to, and trustworthy. I like working with animals because they deserve to be loved and taken care of, they deserve to have fun and someone to help them just like anyone else. I'm looking for a job where I can help take care of animals while also making them feel comfortable to rest or play! I started working with animals 3 years ago. In my spare time, I like to watch shows and spend time with my puppy One thing you should know about me is you can be honest and trust me with anything. I am here to help you and your animal feel safe I am looking forward to taking care of your pet and ensuring that they don’t feel alone or bored & that they can get all the enrichment that they need in. I have a dog in my home that I care for, i take him on long fun walks so he can get all his sniffs and playtime in, I feed him and give him gentle pets to make him feel comfortable and safe.

“Sophia is great with my boxer. She showed up on time with a planned route for the walk and even sent me a picture of them walking. My dog came home tired - which makes me happy.”

“Very professional and great communication! She is able to handle my high energy Pitbull!!”

James T.

“Candi has been such a blessing to our family. She communicates before and after each walk, sends multiple pictures, and is very kind and reliable. She was open to helping train our 1yr old rescue dog and provides much feedback regarding their progress. We are comfortable with Candi driving our dog to the local walking trail since our neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks. Candi is an asset to Rover and I know our pup agrees.”

Ali S.

“Always has a smile and my fur baby enjoys her walk with him”

Let's chat to set up a date and time that works best for you and your furry friends! Caring for pets in either my own or someone else's home involves several key practices: 1. Safety and Comfort: Ensuring the environment is safe and comfortable for the pet, with secure areas and appropriate amenities. 2. Routine Care: Providing regular feeding, watering, and bathroom breaks according to the pet's schedule and needs. 3. Exercise and Play: Engaging pets in physical activities and playtime to keep them active and entertained. 4. Medical Attention: Monitoring the pet's health, administering medications if needed, and being attentive to any signs of distress or illness. 5.

About: I took care of my mother's dogs up until I moved out. I've taken them to appointments, bathed them, provided nourishing home made meals, trained them to learn new tricks, and trained them on obedience. I strongly believe animals bring joy to a home and so they deserve to be treated with the same love that they bring to us. Since then I've been caring for dogs of all sizes & energy levels. I currently stay at home as a full-time mother so my time is mostly open and very flexible. I'm available any day of the week so I'll be here for whenever you need me. First I gain the pets trust first before roaming any further, usually clients leave me a list and I will complete the list without bringing any worry to you or your fur baby. Im there for you and your pet only.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends pets as well. I’m currently unemployed so I’ll have plenty of time to go for walks and play with your pups. I’m also available for boarding at any time. I have an open yard so there is no fence but I do have a park near by wear I can walk and play with your dogs. I also have a small dog named Linda that is very social and loves other animals so she will be good company.
