Dog Walking Wenham

“Jonathan was fantastic with Bella while we were traveling for 2 weeks. We received daily pictures of the walks he took with her. Prior to leaving, Jonathan took Bella for a practice walk. Jonathan was very attentive to Bellas anxiety and on occasion stubbornness to walk. We highly recommend Jonathan and will definitely hire him again when we travel again.”

“Elizabeth wonderful to work with and our rambunctious puppy absolutely loves her. She is very patient and kind and helps to reinforce Nova’s training. We know that she will take great care of our girl while we are away.”

About: I am a 32-year-old living in a house in Wenham (with a large backyard!) with flexible work hours. I work from home, and I'm a writer so hours are flexible, so I can take your dog for a walk whenever you need me to. I am responsible, kind, and athletic, and would love taking your dog on a long neighborhood walk, a dog park, or another location you'd prefer. I’ve been a Rover sitter for over five years, and have watched all kinds of pups! Young or old, big or small, energetic and outgoing or shy and timid… I’ve watched (and loved) them all! Being a Rover sitter is truly one of my biggest joys. As someone who loves dogs but doesn’t have one yet myself, I will truly treat your pup like my own and make sure he or she has a fantastic time away :) I am a previous pet owner myself -- growing up I had an incredibly energetic golden retriever dog, as well as a cat who lived 15 years. I also used to volunteer at the Ipswich Animal Shelter because I love all animals! I work a 9-to-5 job from home, but my role as a writer means I have limited meetings — so I have a lot of flexibility to take your pup for walks and play with him or her throughout the day. I follow the owner’s advice when it comes to how to make the animal feel safe and comfortable in my home. I ensure I am always aware of where the pup or cat is and watch them so they don’t get themselves into harm’s way, and I follow the animal’s lead when it comes to whether they want to be picked up or pet or whether they want space to explore a bit. I work full-time from home, and as a writer I have a flexible schedule to play and walk your pet throughout the day as well as on weekends. We have a house in Wenham, and I always ensure anything potentially dangerous is off the floor before a pup comes over. I also make sure they have their own space in my house on a dog bed or blanket with toys so they feel safe and welcomed.

“Lauren saved us last minute! Incredibly professional and on time. Very grateful, we would certainly use her services again in the future.”

About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.

About: Hello all animal lovers! My name is Olivia and I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for about 3 years now. I’m new to the rover app but I currently sit some of my friend’s pets which are a Pomeranian, Doberman, bichon frise and pit bull puppy. I am looking to gain more experience in the animal field as I am going to school in the fall for animal care specialist. I’ve just begun volunteering at an animal shelter in Salem to lend a helping hand to all the animals that are waiting to go to there furever homes! I have such a passion and unconditional love for all animals I hope you will give me the chance to help care for your fur baby!

About: I grew up with dogs and have almost always had one as an adult. I’m comfortable with all breed big and small and have trained many dogs, including stubborn pitties and enthusiastic goldens. I just adopted my foster pup Remy who is the best girl. I love dogs and will treat yours like they’re mine. I can’t wait to meet your pup and go for a frolic! I currently am unemployed and filling my days with walking pups and volunteering. My schedule if pretty flexible. I’m on a pretty standard schedule for wake up and walks. I live in a 2nd floor apartment of a 2 family, so I can’t take dogs out there for a quick pee. I go for 2-3 walks a day with my pup. I’m adaptable for your pups schedule when sitting.

About: For a year I worked for a home kennel/breeder and managed approximately 13 adult dogs on each shift. Some adult dog care duties included: preparing food, walks, bathroom breaks/outdoor playtime, indoor playtime, some training exercises, and occasionally giving medications. When the dogs had their puppies I would also care for the puppies on the same shifts. Puppy care included: feeding, cleaning of the whelping boxes, potty training and outdoor playtime, sometimes cleaning up the pups themselves when they got a little messy. In addition to these tasks extra care would be given to the momma dogs. Overall I also had cleaning responsibilities such as vacuuming, mopping, dishes, and laundry. Additionally, over the past 3 years I have sat for approximately 5 families. I provide sitting services and boarding services, but generally prefer boarding as it feels better and sometimes safer to be in my own home. I have a fair amount of experience with reactive dogs (on-leash reactive and off-leash reactive) and am comfortable with dogs who have high anxiety. If there is anything else you’d like to know, please feel free to ask I work remotely from home so I am pretty much always available to dog sit/board and would be able to be with your pet 24/7 while you are away. It’s very rare that I leave pets alone while I sit as it gives me peace of mind to be with them, so at max I usually only leave for an hour or two if I have errands to run. I do not have a backyard in my home so I take dogs for walks. I live in Swampscott so it’s either a walk by the beach or, for more reactive dogs who need less people/dogs/noise/distraction it’s a walk to the park up the street where I can do some training. I’m the only person in my home so there are no other variables to consider for safety in that way. I am very responsible when it comes to pet care. I only give pets food or treats that are provided by parents to make sure they stick to their regular diet. If something comes up I’m quick to text and keep parents informed of any issues and discuss options on how to resolve issues. For example, I’ve sat a couple of dogs before who’ve had some tummy troubles and after texting with parents we decided the pet would need rice and chicken for their next couple of meals and managed those changes just fine.

About: I first discovered my passion for animal care in fifth grade when I brought home and later adopted my class pet, Spot, an anole lizard who remained with our family for two years. Since then, I have continued developing hands-on experience caring for animals, including working with reactive dogs. During the pandemic, my family adopted our dog Henry, and through that experience I gained valuable insight into supporting dogs with anxiety and learning effective, patient approaches to behavioral management. I currently have full availability for the summer and am flexible in accommodating a wide range of pet care needs, including daytime, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners to ensure I fully understand each pet’s individual needs and routine. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the highest quality care possible.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I am committed to providing every pet with the same love, care and attention that I would give my own. I have been working as a pet sitter for 6 years and worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities from bearded dragons and clingy cats to Chihuahuas and Newfoundlands. I also have experience administering medications like insulin, subcutaneous fluids and other medications during my stay. I understand the importance of following routines closely and ensuring that the pets and their parents are comfortable and stress-free. Additionally, I have volunteered at the shelter during college for a couple of months working with animals with different backgrounds and temperaments. As a cat mom of 3 I understand first hand how important it is to find a dependable, compassionate pet sitter you can trust whether it is companionship, a walk or playtime I will provide the best care I can for your animals. Currently I am working towards getting my second degree in nursing but I am still committed to providing reliable and attentive pet care and can work around my schedule whether it is waking up extra early for a morning walk or extra playtime when my school day is over. I can only pet sit at the clients house as I have pets of my own but their routine will still be followed including daily medications. I understand that this is a stressful time for both pet and owner so I focus on providing the best care I can give and will give regular updates for a stress free environment. Please note that I am only comfortable caring for indoor cats. For safety reasons, I do not allow outdoor cats outside while they are under my care and ask that they remain indoors during the duration of my visits or stay.

About: I have always had a great love for animals. I am unable to own a dog where I live as it is not allowed ,but I do have a cat that’s the size of a pup. I take care of my friends animals whenever I am needed and I love it.I love to walk and enjoy every walk with a furry friend! I will take excellent care of your fur baby 💜 I currently work from home and am very flexible with walk times and drop ins for your pet. I am available as early as 6:00 am I follow instructions on what you will need for your pet at the time of service that is scheduled . Walk, play, feed , and make sure they are well taken care of.

About: I’ve taken care of my family's dogs over the past 15 years. A 70 pound Airedale Terrior named Jake, and a 20 pound Welsh terrior named Riley! Most recently a hound mix named Libby I’ve also cared for friends and family pets while they are away. Both cats and dogs. I’m currently in between jobs at the moment and have a fairly open schedule. I am flexible so please just ask and I’ll do my best to fit you in! I have a fenced in yard, but I am not willing to bring pets to my house as my dog can be aggressive around other dogs.

“Lindsay was super! She made time to drop by our home to meet our dog before the walk…even though we booked last minute. Very professional and caring with our dog.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Heather! Highly recommend!”

“Jessica is so sweet ! Buddy is anxious when left alone and was so reassuring to see how calm she was when we arrived home ..recommended Jessica highly will be requesting her for future dates !”

Regina C.

“Sam is great! Caring and responsible. Our dog, Mona, loves her!”

Marlayna S.

“Happy to leave a review of Collette and tipping is out of control so there will be no tip and I am guessing that is OK. I'm a bit taken aback by the request actually. Maybe because I am a senior. Collette was a dream! We will be doing more of this. GSDs are distinct dogs and not everybody likes them. It was clear from the start that Collette was up to the GSD challenge. They sometimes are too smart for their own good. A big thanks to Collette!”

“Jacquelyn was very nice and took my golden retriever for 2 really great walks!! She was on time and took her for the full 30 minutes which was perfect. I would definitely book her again!”
