Dog Walkers in West Barnstable, MA

About: I am a physical therapist who has a passion for working with people, however, I interact with people quite often. SO, what I really enjoy is making the time to cuddle or walk with furry friends any chance I can get. As a former doctoral student, I have learned how to manage time well, organize and prioritize. I have over 8 years of experience dog sitting for family members and these dogs include small breeds (Coton de Tulear and Dachshund), medium breeds (Beagle/Australian Sheperd mix) and large breeds (Pitbull/Boxer mix, Boxer, and Lab/Pitbull mix). I have administered medication on a strict schedule, bathed, walked and snuggled with all of these pups, showing nothing but love and dedication. I take all safety precautions to ensure gates are closed when necessary, human food is placed far out of reach, and all doors are shut that lead to tempting, tasty objects such as shoes and remotes. My experience with a variety of breeds and sizes makes me stand out, as well as my ability to handle high energy dogs who may appear confrontational at first. If you choose me to watch your fur babies, there is no doubt that they will be in good hands with someone who is dedicated to ensuring they are comfortable, happy and well taken care off. I have a very flexible schedule, I am in between jobs at the moment, so as long as I have enough notice, I am willing to make anything work! At my house I have to flexibility to take the dogs out as needed, I have a dog currently who is friendly with others. In my clients’ homes, I respect the client’s instructions and can perform any task they need! I respect the home and privacy as I have also had Rover sitters in my home and would want someone trustworthy.

About: I have taken care of family and friends animals since I was very little. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, and will take the BEST care of your fur-babies! I am currently working part time during the day and part time at nights. I will make sure I provide your fur-children with the best care. I will always make sure the rules of the house are followed and I take the utmost care of your pet in the way you expect. I am physically fit and have an extremely loving personality.

About: I have had years of experience with animals, dogs and cats. There has always been a pet in my home as my family are huge animal lovers. As of current we have 3 dogs, ranging from a 14 pound Jack Russell to a 80 pound German Shepard....and in between we have a 50 pound Husky. I also had a cat growing up so I am super familiar with the care and characteristics of a cat. I am very compassionate when it comes to the needs of a pet. My own pets are considered a big part of our family. They always make the family photos! I am a recent graduate of ST. John Fisher University. I have an internship that will keep me busy during the week but am available any weekend. From Friday afternoon till late Sunday, your pet will have my full availability. I am extremely trustworthy and will offer care and kindness to your pets, giving you peace of mind to enjoy your weekend away!

About: I strictly follow your dog’s personal and walking routines to prevent any anxiety, while sending frequent photo updates so you can travel completely worry free. Working from home allows me to easily blend my day with your dog’s needs, offering frequent play and potty breaks and endless cuddles while working. By staying at your place, I minimize your dog’s anxiety. I provide dedicated overnight care, plenty of playtime, and frequent updates so you feel connected.

About: Animals, including dogs, live by instinct and intuition, which has always intrigued me and taught me a lot of life lessons. For as long as I can remember, spending time with different dogs in my life, I can really get a sense of each dog just by looking in their eyes. I.e. what the dog needs, how the dog feels and why. I have always loved animals and spent a lot of time with them growing up. My dad had a dog in his house that I used to take care of for years. I love to watch the nature and personality of each dog. I also have a hamster at home that I care for including vet visits. When I take my hamster to the vet, I meet dogs and dog owners there who I really enjoy spending time with and learning about.

“Eliza has been walking my dog for over a year. She is punctual, great communicator, reliable and responsible. My dog absolutely adores her! He gets so excited when we tell her she’s walking him. She has also helped us when we needed dog services outside of our weekly walking schedule. I highly recommend Eliza for pet services.”

About: I have experience as a veterinary assistant, and have worked with so many different animals! I have lots of hands-on experience and knowledge of animal health and care. I have worked with a doggy daycare as well and loved every second. I know how important it is to find a pet sitter that really cares! I can go on long or short walks depending on the dog’s ability. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs, so I know the different activity levels. If away, I will make sure your animal is eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom normally, and I will always let the owner know if something seems wrong. I will also gladly send pictures when asked! Can administer medication. I am also fully insured! I will always make sure pets are safe and secure when leaving homes. I can crate dogs if ever needed. I will feed on schedule and go on walks accordingly. I will follow all protocols given by owners, and I will clean up messes from the animals if that ever happens. Your pet will be in good hands, and if anything seems wrong with the animal while you are gone, I will call the owner or, in case of an emergency, bring she/him to the vet. I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to play with your animals! I am available on weekends and weekdays. I am always willing to fit you in around my open schedule! I provide attentive care tailored to your pet's needs. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I maintain a clean and safe environment, ensuring your pet's comfort and well-being at all times.

About: As a husky mix owner, I’m very used to high-energy dogs and the importance of consistent, engaging walks. I’ve also cared for dogs through pet sitting and walking for friends and family so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and routines. I work in a restaurant that doesn’t open till 4:30 Monday - Friday so I am available all day, some weekends and a few nights a week! I care for pets by maintaining a calm, safe, and familiar environment that follows their usual routine. I pay close attention during walks and playtime to ensure they’re safe and comfortable at all times. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and introductions to other animals, and I always treat the client’s home with respect. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for while owners are away.

“Renee is awesome walker. Good communication and responsive. Thank you”

I'm available most weekdays for walking, feedings and playtime and weekends for overnight care. I will happily provide whatever your dogs needs will be. If you need overnight care, I'm happy to stay in your home so your dog can remain comfortable and in their own familiar surroundings.

About: Hello! My name is Sammie and I’m a recently retired college athlete and nursing student at UML. I’ve had three dogs in my lifetime so far with many more to come. I am 21 years old and a New Graduate Nurse. Im also a huge animal lover and obsessed with every furry friend. I had two beagles growing up… and now I have a six year-old sassy, husky named Skye… we rescued Skye a little over four years ago when she was 1 year old. She lives with my mom and I. We take her on three walks a day, short car rides, dog park trips, and we give her plenty of playtime. She has a few different husky friends in the neighborhood. Although she’s a little crazy, she’s my best friend. I attended Umass Lowell, where I played Division I women’s lacrosse. I’m excited to get started helping other families with fur babies. Every morning and every evening I walk my husky. We play with her throughout the day depending on who is around in the family. She gets weekly dog park trips as well and hangs out with her friends in the neighborhood. Plenty of playtime, cuddles and walks. I know my dog loves to take long walks in the neighborhood, play fetch with her ball and snuggle on the couch when she’s tired.

“Thank your for taking such good care of our fur baby! We appreciate your help and your detailed thoughtful approach!”
