Dog Walkers in Waltham Highlands, MA

“Jacob is wonderful! Our shepard mix can be a real handful, but she loves walking with Jacob. Before his first day on the job, he researched using the gentle leader we asked him to use and memorized the list of commands we gave him. He's always responsive and conscientious. Truly a great dog walker!”

About: Hi I’m Megan! I just moved to Boston, I studied animal science at the University of Vermont so I absolutely love spending time with pets and I know a lot about animal needs! I have experience with a variety of animals as I have owned dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, Guinea pigs, cows, chickens, and more! I interned at a vets office and I also worked with sled dogs (Siberian huskies) throughout college and did all of the care for them including feeding, picking up poop, bathing, and tons of handling. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs, and love both. Specifics for what you want for your pet are always appreciated! I work at a pre-school so I am gone Monday-Friday from about 8am-3pm, so any dog staying with me during the week would have to be comfortable staying home during the day. I love to be active and go for walks and having a dog with me makes it so much more enjoyable! Whenever I have a pet they become my best friend for the time we spend together and I take their care very seriously. I live in an area of Boston that is very dog friendly with lots of walking trails nearby! I have gained a lot of experience through dog sitting and will always listen to your needs and expectations for how you want your pet to be cared for. I know how much love we all have for our pets so I make sure they feel loved while you’re away, and will keep you updated with lots of pictures and videos!

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I currently have a Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix, and I've helped care for her sister (my girlfriend’s mom’s dog), as well as dogs belonging to friends and neighbors. From energetic puppies to senior dogs—and even reactive or nervous pups—I’m confident and comfortable handling a wide range of needs. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience not only as a pet owner, but also as someone who actively volunteers with animal shelters both in the U.S. and abroad. I try to volunteer anytime I travel, especially in areas where stray dogs need extra love and care. These experiences have taught me how to connect with nervous or anxious dogs by being patient, gentle, and understanding their unique personalities. I'm calm, friendly, and highly reliable. I know how important it is to keep pets on their regular routines, and I’m committed to making sure every dog I care for gets the exercise, stimulation, and affection they need. I also have experience administering medications, basic training, and working with dogs who need a little extra patience. Im currently working in a restaurant so my schedule can be changed if booked in advanced. i am typically available during both the weekdays and weekends until 4 pm My house has a fenced in yard and my family dog is friendly but typically would stay somewhere else while your pup is with me. When I'm at your house I will make sure to follow all instructions and leave things as I found them. I will also make sure there is nothing for your pup to get into such as trash cans or anything else they tend to go after.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family over the last 5 years. Responsible for 1-2 dogs at a time of all sizes 15-75lbs + cats. I’ve done walking, feeding, and over night stays up to a 10 days. Currently Hybrid work schedule which offers lots of flexibility to dog walk/sit. Most availability is from Friday-Monday. I go into the office located in Stoughton Tuesday-Thursday from 8-5pm and cannot provide afternoon drop ins on those days. I have experience caring for dogs in their own home (current apartment does not allow me to have dogs). I am clean and respectful and will follow alol instructions given.

“My doberman loves Madelaine! Every time she comes for their walk, my dog gets so excited. We've had a great experience with her so far!”

“Jon is responsive, reliable, kind, and professional. He is great about letting us know when he’s on his way, his ETA, and then gives us a heads up before he knocks on the door. My dog is extremely anxious, and this has been challenging; Jon has been so accommodating, open to trying anything to get her to trust him, and clearly cares about her.”

About: With over 5 years of experience, I offer exceptional pet care services that include basic command training during their stay and soothing massages for their comfort. Your furry friend will receive personalized attention and specialized care, ensuring they feel loved and content while in my care. My experience also extends to caring for retired patrol dogs, providing our brave canines heroes with specialized attention they deserve after their dedicated service. Additionally, I have expertise in assisting senior dogs with walking troubles, ensuring they receive the gentle support they need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay I'm home-based on Mondays and Fridays, giving me all day to focus on our furry friends. From Tuesdays to Thursdays, I work from 9 AM to 4 PM. Each day, your furry friends get their morning stroll at 8 AM sharp before I dive into work, and another refreshing walk at 5 PM, and another walk before bedtime. There will be a midday stroll during lunch hours when I work from home and during weekends. Whether caring for pets in my home or at the client's location, I prioritize following all guidelines regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, and any specific needs or preferences outlined by the pet parents. In my home, I provide a secure and nurturing environment where pets have ample space to roam and play safely.

About: As a person who has spent most of my life with all kinds of animals, I am a big advocate for their emotional well-being. I would love to be that familiar face that soothes your dogs anxiety, someone s/he looks forward to seeing, not just for exercise and a bathroom break, but for human companionship. And truth be told, I'm in it for the exercise and four-legged companionship myself. After having pets all my life, I find myself without furry friends at the moment. I've parented three dogs, one cat, and five guinea pigs, and have sat with or boarded both dogs and cats for friends throughout my adult life, starting in college. Nothing is more important to me than their welfare and I can be trusted to keep them safe and happy. Each animal is an individual with his or her own biases, but I find that, in general, animals tend to gravitate towards and trust me. But I'm happy to have a meet and greet to see if that is indeed the case and put us all at ease. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Thank you for reading my profile. I work from home as a freelance graphic designer and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am reliable and understand the importance of routine in your pet's life and will make it my priority to maintain that routine. I do not offer boarding services at this time but I am available to care for your pet in your home. I am extremely respectful of your privacy and will only go where I need to to care for your pet.

About: I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a Westie who was a handful and lived to 18. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family ever since high school and recently thought I’d join Rover to give my rescue pup a friend for walks and play time. I am a freelance designer so I work from home with flexible hours. I recently adopted my pup Cooper and the rescue told me how much she loves dogs so I signed up for Rover to give her some friends! I plan walks about 4 times a day but would accommodate more for your pup. I live next to Fort Greene Park and can go to the dog park there once a day (unless you don’t want). I live in a door man building and have space for your dogs crate and anything else they need! I am home all day so will be always watching over your furry friend.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. Rescues, pure breads, energetic & rambunctious, low key, nervous, happy, big and small, healthy, sick, I've been around them all! I work from home 90% of the time. There are occasions when I meet with clients in person or I need to spend a little time at my office, but the majority of the time I am working from the house. I take Remy and Holly to the park/on a hike twice a day unless it’s too hot. Remy grew up surrounded by new dogs everyday for the first 3 years of his life and over time he's met pretty much every kind of dog with every kind of personality so at this point he's a pro with being around new pups! Holly basically loves everyone!! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog that enjoys the company of all types of dogs. He lived with his Mum until October and she is a dog trainer who also boards and so he is completely use to new dogs of all breeds and sizes coming in daily!
