Dog Walkers in Ware, MA

About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 14 years. I have my Master Trainers certificate for police and military k9s and I love all animals. I am currently working part-time as a surgical veterinary technician and shift lead. I have a very flexible schedule and open availability. I do not have many limitations when it comes to my schedule. I currently live in a nice and clean apartment complex. The complex has two large open grassy areas, however they are not fenced. This poses no issues for me since I am accustomed to leash walking, gentle leader training, pinch collar training and harness training. I live close by to multiple dog parks, trails and my current place of employment. I have a very sweet and loving spayed female Vizsla who is now 8 years old. She is extremely dog friendly and plays wonderfully with others. I also have a spayed female 10 month mixed breed named Ginny, who is also very sweet, playful and friendly. If you are interested in overnight pet care at my home I do have two cats, both are great with dogs and also very friendly. I also have the ability to crate train overnight if needed. In addition I offer obedience training services.

About: I have been thoroughly enamored by dogs most of my life, ever since my family got our first black Lab. I have experience working with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I currently have a 1-year-old puppy and 2 cats at home, all of whom are front-and-center in my life. I am also a veterinary technician (nurse), so I am very comfortable giving medication and caring for pets who may be unwell. I can also perform basic veterinary first aid, though I do not know CPR. I am extremely dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I love working with them and discovering their unique personalities and quirks. I look forward to getting to know your dog! I am currently a full time vet tech, but am available all day on Sunday and Monday, and also afternoons (after 2 pm) on Wednesday and Saturday. I have one very friendly large-breed dog, who is generally pretty chill around other dogs, but will sometimes play. In your home, I would respect any boundaries you set and maintain common courtesy. I also strive to leave everything as I found it.

About: I love all animals and have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have also taken care of the pets of friends, coworkers, and neighbors at every opportunity! I am currently working part-time from home; and make my own schedule so I would be available at a moment’s notice to care for your critter. I have so many years of animal care experience. While I cannot bring any animals to my home (because of a very territorial kitty), I would be happy to spend as much time as needed with your pet at your residence!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I come from a family of animal lovers. I have taken pet nutrition courses and am completing the NAPPS certification I work full time remotely with some travel. I have a newly installed fenced in area to make pet sitting safer! Reach out, I’d love to meet you and your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog that loves to play with friends. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well

About: Hi! I have had cats and dogs all of my life! I am an avid animal lover. I am patient and kind to all animals! With my own personal lifetime of owning and caring for pets, and now being retired, I would be more than happy to assist you in the care of your pet/pets. I have had experience with sick pets, having had a cat that required shots twice a day for diabetes. I most recently had a cat with kidney disease. He passed away but lived to be 18! All of my pets have lived long and healthy lives! I currently have a dog, Scarlett, who came from a shelter with only hours left before they were going to euthanize her due to her aggressive behavior towards other dogs. I am very diligent about keeping her safe and other pets safe. I took her because she deserved to have a loving home. With kindness and constant routine, she is having her best life. Scarlett is now 11yrs old!! I would provide personalized care for your pet. Focusing on positive reinforcement and lots of affection to keep them happy!! I always considered my pets part of my family and would love to meet yours! After having worked for a school system for 25 years, I retired. I have taken a year for myself but have found that I would like to do something. Always being an avid animal lover, I thought that this would be something I would genuinely like. Being retired, my days are very flexible! I do a lot of online selling with platforms such as Ebay and Poshmark, so fitting this into my daily routine would not be a problem. For my own dog, I have a completely fenced in yard. My cats are indoor only. I would love to meet your furbabies! I would most certainly take your dog for a walk, feed them if needed. Spend time with them, clean up if necessary. I would do the same for your cats! All of this would be on the instruction of the pet owner, of course, since you know your animal BEST!

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: I grew up surrounded by animals—3 dogs and 5 cats—so caring for pets has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I’ve walked energetic puppies, strolled with senior dogs, and everything in between. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block, a trip to the park to burn energy or some calm company for your cat, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like I would with my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I work with very flexible hours, so I have good availability both week days and weekends. Available for boarding any night and walks and check ins typically weekday evenings and anytime weekends. Will always ensure pets are properly leashed/harnessed before trips outside. Able to keep up with high energy pets. Very communicative with both clients and pets needs.

About: I do not have a ton of experience caring for other people's pets however we have 2 dogs and 8 cats that we are blessed with the opportunity to love on❤️ I have a full-time job during the day however I have no problem managing drop ins for toileting or liter box cleaning, walks, feeding etc How I care for pets in a clients home will depend on their environment? Fenced yard play vs a walk in community. Open to all

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have owned dogs, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice. Currently I own 2 cats with my partner named Rebel and Scout. Growing up my family dogs have included lhasa apsos, dandie dinmont terriers, a german shepherd, and a golden lab. I have experience sitting all types of dogs so whether you have a small medium or large dog, i am comfortable with all sizes. I also was an American Kennel Club junior handler for five years and during that time I showed my lhasa apsos. I have assisted with 4 four litters of lhasa puppies and am experienced with house training, puppy training, care etc. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them and look forward to the opportunity to become a friend to your precious pets! :) I am currently a homemaker, and am fortunate to have some flexibility! Just let me know the times/days you need. M-F preferred weekends are negotiable! My preference is to take care of pets at clients home. It is difficult to have other animals inside with the cats however I do have a fenced in area in my yard I can offer for them to be in!

About: I am that odd duck at a party who is in the corner playing with the cat/dog instead of socializing with people. I have always had at least 1 animal growing up (from cats to dogs, to guinea pigs). I have spent the past 15 years helping family and friends care for their furry babies when they are unable to. I will walk, bath, feed, and provide physical and mental stimulation to keep your animals happy while you are away. I currently work for a company that allows me to have a flexible schedule. I am available mid morning to evening to drop in and feed, engage with, and clean up after your pet. Cat boarding: I have a fully furnished spare bedroom set up in my home so that your cat can be in a home like environment while you are away. At no point will your cat come into contact with my cats. I plan to hangout and get to know your cat while they stay with me. When in a clients home I will be respectful of their home and follow all rules/instructions left for me. I am here to assist you and your pet.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old. I’ve dog sat at peoples homes, did pop up visits and boarded dogs. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. I make my own schedule for my work so I have a lot of free time to help with your pups and cats. Schedules and care plans can be discussed. I have a very large yard with a ground mount so your dog can freely run around. I don’t have any dogs of my own currently.

About: Hi there! I’ve been working with dogs for over 15 years and absolutely love what I do. I’ve spent years showing dogs and helping train rescues, so I have a good feel for canine behavior and what makes each dog unique. I’ve also safely transported dogs across the country for clients, ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being every step of the way. My background includes working with high-drive, working breeds that require structure, exercise, and mental engagement — so I’m confident handling energetic or challenging dogs as well as calm companions. I’m currently self employed so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I can fit anything into my schedule, from drop ins to a daily walk! I do not do constant care. I’m ok with dropping in multiple times a day for house sitting but I have my own animals to care for as well so I must be able to leave. I take every precaution to keep your pets safe and comfortable in their own home, making sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are properly fastened, and routines are followed just the way you like.

“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!”
