Dog Walking Upton

About: I have done many dog and cat sitting jobs since I was 12, for multiple people in my neighborhood. I am an animal behavior major and love working with animals! I also have two dogs and cats of my own who I love very much! I am currently home from college for the summer and have lots of free time! I am available any day of the week day or night! I am happy to care for your pets in any capacity you need! Your pets will get lots of love and exercise while I am there!

About: My first dog was a 105-lb lab mix who had failed obedience school. I'm also a mom of 7 with the energy to match. Exuberant pets are welcome! Messes don't scare me! I can handle your dog, cat, or other furry friend. I'm home with my kids on a daily basis and rarely gone more than a 2-hour stretch. The days that I am unavailable are noted on my profile. I have lots of availability! I have a large, fenced-in yard. Our only pets are chickens, who can stay in their coop if necessary. Smoke-free home with plenty of people to give your pet attention and love!

“Nicole was great and exceeded my expectations. She came over to meet our dogs before we left on vacation and they instantly liked her. While on vacation she sent videos and pictures after every walk and was ALWAYS on time. She made my vacation worry free and I can’t thank her enough!”

About: With hands-on experience working at a doggy daycare and caring for pets both in my own home and in clients’ homes, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My experience has helped me build strong skills in providing attentive, reliable, and loving care while making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in any environment! *I can only take services from 6 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays! The rest of my schedule and availability is on my calendar! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In both my home and my clients’ homes, I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention, and affection! I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means keeping an energetic pet active or giving a more anxious pet extra patience and pets! My goal is always to make pets feel happy and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: Animal wellbeing has been a passion of mine since a young age. I started pet sitting and dog walking (individual and pack walks) in 2017. For me, it's easy to treat other people's pets like my own! I use Rover for my own pets, so I know firsthand how crucial excellent and reliable pet care is for our fury family members. I’m available for walks and drop ins 7 days a week and boarding from Friday evenings through Sunday nights. Feel free to reach out with specific dates/times! I love visiting pets in their home because so many are comfier staying in their own space while they wait for their humans to return. I know firsthand how important a predictable routine is for our pets.

About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.

“Sydney took great care of my dog Tessie when she was unable to go to daycare for several months and needed drop in walks instead. She was always reliable, on time, and communicative and I would strongly recommend her to any other dog parent!”

“Pia has been talking Pudge for walks twice a week for me. She is always on time, communicates well and is very respectful and understanding. Pia is great with Pudge and he is so excited when she arrives for his walks. I Continue to have Pia come twice a week for Pudge and I am grateful that I have her.”

“Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!”

“Adam is awesome! He did a great job calming our anxious dog down and was super flexible with our schedule. He is very professional and responsive!”

About: My very friendly little dog and I would love to host your dog here with us, up to 40 pounds only though...Or if your pal would benefit from a playmate, we would love to come sit for you! Well first off, I've been trusted with the care of many precious pets for years now...And enjoy it very much...I am fun, caring, and engaging, as well as all ble's, reliable, dependable, and responsible! And I took a CPR pet course, and human one as well. I have had cats mostly all my life, and now own a small dog of my own, who as I stated earlier, could, or doesn't have to if need be, come with me, as some love to have a playmate for their pet...And I know my friendly little guy very much enjoys the visit. But with anyone coming to my home, my guy will be there too, and they must all be friendly, and then we have nothing but a good time. Which brings me to, I can watch any animal, esp in the animals home and of any size...It is my home that, as also mentioned above, I would only be able to take in a small or medium sized dog, cat, or caged pet. And my home, that I live in with just my little guy, is pretty open and spacious for dogs to move around, and I have fenced in my backyard just off the back door porch for even more run around fun. And now onto my prices, I had to do additions a certian way on here...As to plus a cat if I'm also coming to care for your dog...But I can always modify and give a discount if say you have many plus one cats in your home so it doesn't keep plus one'ing a fee...Or if you have wonderfully easy small dogs, I would not keep plus one'ing for those and would find a nice set fee, and especially if my little guy could also come enjoy them, or they could come spend the time with us...It's the large ones that can be more of a handful and take a bit more doing often times, that I have to have it set that way for. And I did just recently up my prices some as I've noticed that Rover charges per night and I am not loving that, I always on my own charge per day, so I up'd my prices some to reflect that. But have noticed that I am still under many, esp when it comes to multiple pets, and so that is good. So you can always send me a msg and we can discuss any and all options. I can often work staying elsewhere into my routine, even if many miles away...Pop ins as well can be worked in more easily than not...Esp when it's on the way to work or right near work...And my work schedule often varies and can be shifted if need be...But that brings me to, work is part time, so I won't be gone hours upon hours at a time, but those hours could fall into the evening as in dinner could be an hour or 2 late an evening or 2, if that is alright. And I put a certain radius...But I have stayed in homes miles and miles away, out of state even, just ask if it's doable, it very well may be! But for pop ins and walks, I would prefer to travel within 10 miles or so from my home only. So I did just update this for a 45 miles out, but obviously I cannot be doing a pop in or daily walk so far away. I care for pets in my home or their home the same way I care for my pet in his home...With the added, well, additions that your pet may need. My home is often more foolproof safe...Such as I have an indoor fenced area around my front door...And I do sometimes bring something similar with me to others homes...I prefer to be (overly) safe than sorry.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for the past four years and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and bunnies. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from young puppies to adult and senior dogs, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality. I offer overnight stays in your home, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate each family’s needs. I offer overnight stays in your home, drop-in visits, and dog walking throughout the week and on weekends. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I respond quickly to messages and always keep owners updated with photos and check-ins. I do work part-time, but am flexible with dropping in before and after work to care for your animals! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Since I provide care in your home, I work hard to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and your home, so I treat both with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. I also send regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I've been around cats my entire life and currently share my home with two cats, Oscar Wilde and Dorian Gray. Growing up, cats were always part of the family. One of my most memorable experiences was helping care for a mother cat and her seven kittens after we rescued them from my grandmother's farm. Since then, I've cared for many cats with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. In addition to caring for cats, I've looked after dogs for friends and family, ranging from small Yorkiepoos to large German Shepherds. My experience includes walking dogs, providing daily care, staying in owners' homes for extended periods, and taking dogs on hikes and outdoor adventures to keep them active and engaged. I believe pets thrive with a balance of affection, play, consistency, and structure. Every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently finishing my degree and preparing to start my professional career, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Outside of school, I help care for my nephews once a week and play volleyball a few times each week. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, and I'm happy to work with each client's schedule to ensure their pets receive the care, companionship, and routine they're used to while their owners are away. While I am unable to host pets in my home due to HOA restrictions, I am happy to care for pets in their own home where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. When house sitting, I make it a priority to follow each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, playtime, and any household rules. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I also provide updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. In addition to pet care, I am happy to help with basic house-sitting tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash, and helping maintain the home while you're away.

About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have cared for pets while friends/family were away and enjoy doing so. I love spending time with animals. At the moment I am part time and have my daughter. My schedule is very open. Even on my work days I am free the first half of the day. However you want them taken care of is how I will do so. Always with love and kindness. I see my pets as my family.

About: I have been a true pet lover my entire life. Now I raise two daughters who feel the same way. There has never been an animal we did not love. I have been the one all of my friends and family always rely on to help walk, feed, bathe, and take care of their pets. I have a lot of energy so love being active and going on walks and hikes and running around with a dog. I am happy to have an animal cuddled onto my lap and do not even mind being licked all over my face! I treat every pet as if it was my own. I trained two dogs from 8 weeks old, on so understand what it takes. I have had a cats my entire life and I love kitties as well! I am comfortable with big and small animals. My children are the biggest animal lovers I know and both want to be vets when they grow up. We would treat your pet like it was our own with more love than you can imagine! My girls and I are around most of the summer, as I work in a school. We are very active so we would love to be out and about walking and taking care of your dog or taking care of your cats! If I were to come to your home and take care of your pet or walk your dog, I would be very comfortable letting myself in and approaching any time of animal. I would give them all the love in the world an any care or exercise they need!

“We originally asked Caroline if she could walk and feed our two dogs as we were planning to a long day trip. However, we woke up to find our oldest dog not doing very well. It turned out that he had cancer and that we would have to put him down. It was a long agonizing day trying of running tests and considering options before finally deciding that the most humane treatment would be to euthanize. Through all this, we are thankful to Caroline who took care of our remaining fur children--a dog and a cat. It was a great relief to not have to think or worry about them so we could focus on our oldest dog in his time of need.”
