Dog Walkers in Templeton, MA

About: I've worked at a dog breeding company taking care of over 30 dogs(incl. puppies). I have two of my own dogs and have learned very valuable training skills and dog body language over the past 5 years. I have taken care of a few senior dogs so if you have an older pup I'm able to properly care for them as well! I'm currently looking for side work and if I can fill up my time by spending it with animals, I'd love that. I am available most of the week and can provide extended stays to make sure your beloved pet gets the best care. I provice a plethora of services; ranging from administering medications, grooming*, basic obedience training*, walks, overnight stays, daily check-ins, and basic care of dogs. I accept any and all types of dogs from the tiniest teacup dogs, to giant breeds. Any ages are welcome too! Whatever your pets care needs are, I will meet and even exceed them!

About: I have had experience caring for dogs all my life, from dogs my family had during my childhood through pet sitting in my college years to now having two of my own (a mellow yellow lab and an energetic aussie shepard). Dogs are just truly the best. I got both my dogs as puppies and am very familiar with puppy training and the extra care and attention pups require. I work night shift as an ER nurse 3 days a week and my fiancé works from home full time. Your dogs (like our own) have 24/7 care, plenty of play time, walks and comfortable space for downtime. My fiancé and I have a huge yard that our dogs love to run around and play in. We have several walking trails and paths available near by which our dogs love to explore. Our house is a spacious and clean 2021 build. The dogs a have free roam of the house and have plenty of indoor space to play.

“Rae is great with my dogs! She loves my pets and they love her. She is very reliable and trustworthy. My cats adore her as well. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care.”

“Stephanie did great with my pup! When I came home after her walks, she was always tired which is what I wanted. Will be booking with her in the future if needed!”

“Haley has been helping me with my pets for years! She takes my dog Spot every time I go away on a trip, and she treats him just like her own animals. She always goes above and beyond, takes him on at least one walk a day, spends time playing with him. She even makes sure to give him extra love at night when she knows he misses me extra! She’s an incredible pet owner, pet sitter, pet walker. Anything you need for your pets, she’s the best person to call.”

About: I love animals and spending time with them. I've had dogs my whole life, but have also had cats, bunnies, hamsters and birds! Let me help your pet feel loved while you're away! Available weekends all day and night, and most Wed and Fri during the day. Schedule is flexible but need at least 3 days notice to book. We have a partially fenced in yard and a friendly Australian shepherd at our home. Because the yard's fence is not finished, I'd prefer to pet sit at your own home.

“As you all know, our pets are our babies, or else we wouldn't be here reading this right now. We want the best care, best food, best vet, etc, and we want someone we can ultimately trust with our furry kids. Maggie made it easy for me to feel confident with leaving Fred in her care with accepting my bag of things, and she listened to my (obnoxious) instructions. I got texts with pics to ease my mind, and she answered me pretty quickly when I reached out to her. And the most telling thing? He absolutely adores her, just as we do :)”

“I used Jillian for the first time recently to walk my Australian Labradoodle while away for the day. I was so impressed. She was kind and communicative and of course wonderful with my dog. Very professional and reliable!”

“Sasha loved her! She’s amazing and so sweet! Can’t wait to have her walk her again!!”

“Shaunna is awesome. She came over to meet my dog Ella a week before. I was worried because Ella is reactive with other dogs but it went well! She is comfortable with her and she sent me some pictures. I’ll definitely book Shaunna again.”

About: We have four dogs and treat them like gold. We rescued three of them. The fourth I take to work with me a few days a week, he’s a yo chon. The kids have allergies so I can’t take turns with all of them. I nanny for fun. I have four kids and they are all grown. I find walking and spending time with dogs (as a really trustworthy person)a great opportunity! I nanny three days a week but other than that im free. I am very flexible. I love exercising and to cuddle dogs and to make it so they aren’t alone for too long during the day. Fenced in yard, walks on conservation land across from our house and we feed Ollie fresh food. Regular vet appts and lots of love. They all sleep with us.

About: I have taken care of fur-babies since I was about 10 years old and I took care of my neighbors pets during every vacation. Since then I have had many pets of my own and have continued caring for others pets in my spare time. I like to take the pups for walks and enjoy hanging out with the cats - if they're playful I like to throw their toys around and watch them run after them. I currently work fully from home so it's rather easy to take care of pets on my lunch break and again as soon as I get off. On the weekends I tend to go for a lot of hikes so if you have a pup I would be happy to take them with me. I also have a kitty backpack if your cat is the adventurous type! I will follow any instructions and care provided by you for your pup or kitten. I respect all training styles- if your pet is crate trained I will be sure to follow that, if they must be on a leash outside I will always follow that. When watching your fur-baby they will be my first priority.

“You could not find a better place to leave your dog. Not only the place is great, but also the family! Definately recommend it!!! Very happy!!!”

“Kaitlyn was right on time and took Scout for a nice long walk. We loved getting the pictures of him on the report card. Kaitlyn spent some time snuggling with Scout too. She did a great job!”

“Lauren is a highly responsible, caring individual who loves to be around animals. She has a kind heart and it shows in the way she puts the needs of her animals first. She enjoys being around them and animals take quickly to her kind nature and personality. I trust her with my furry family members and they love to be around her. She will do an amazing job caring for your family members too!”

“Anna is a kind-heated and loving person who has a warm spot for cats and dogs. She is conscientious and strong and will take good care of your pet.”

“We are very happy that we have found Alexis for drop-in visits for our dog. Like many pet owners, our dog is a part our family, so it takes a lot for us to trust someone with her. Alexis is very trustworthy, professional, and you can tell that she has a genuine love for dogs. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond by proactively resolving issues I have had with the app. Thank you, Alexis, for taking great care of our girl!”

“Victoria is great with animals, she goes out of her way to get them what they need. She loves walking and has tons of energy. She is just so outgoing and loves being around pets. I have trusted her to walk my dog a few times and a lot of people can't handle him, he's 80 pounds, deaf and can pull to the point he'll leave bruises on your arms. I don't trust many people to walk him, but I trust her because she always puts my dog first.”

“Where do I start: I have known Stefanie Stanwood since she was a teenager, she is such a caring and honest person. I have often had her house sit while taking care of my 10 dogs, chickens and goats. She loves animals and it shows in her interactions with them and how they respond to her. She has also worked in the veterinary field giving me even more confidence in her abilities. I would HIGHLY recommend Stefanie to anyone who needs a fur babysitter:)”

About: I love all animals. I have 3 rescue pups myself.I promise to provide a safe and loving environment for your fur babies! I am capable of any task just ask! Can’t wait to sit your pet next! Working from home allows me tons of free time to pet sit. I will treat your pet as my own and can be really flexible with proper communication I have a large yard and three friendly pups to provide your pet with company. If you’d prefer separation that can be arranged too & of course when in your home I can provide excellent care as well
