Dog Walking in West Springfield

About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.

About: I have done both walking and house sitting for family and neighbors for five years, and have worked with and am comfortable handling both large and small dogs. I grew up owning dogs, including a shitzu mix, a poodle mix, and a shelter girl of unknown breed. While all but one of the dogs I have owned were under 20 pounds, most of my history in pet sitting has been with has been with dogs in the 30-70 pound range, including labs, huskies, and a pit bull mix as my most frequent clients. I have experience with owning a fear reactive dog, but my comfort with taking care of them will be on a case by case basis. I also have experience with training young dogs for crating, potty training, and leash training I am currently exclusively self employed and have a flexible schedule with my income sources, so I am available most days and times of the week At this time I am only able to provide care in my clients home, I am unable to provide boarding due to limited space in my house I will work with owners to maintain your pets normal schedule, including feeding and walks. I am comfortable crating and using alternate feeders or feeding styles as needed Dogs will never be outside unattended, and will be kept on leash or in fenced in yards unless the owner specifically requests that I do otherwise. Cats will not be taken outside for any reason unless requested by owners. All animals will receive a significant amount of play and/or pet time during each visit, assuming the animal is comfortable with and enjoying it For drop ins, I will provide at least one update per visit including pictures. For continuous house sitting, as my standard I will provide at least three updates per day (morning, mid day, and afternoon/evening) with at least one photo per update. If you would like more or less updates, just let me know and I am fully willing to work with you to get you the amount of contact desired

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog sister with experience caring for pups of all sizes. I’ve handled post-surgery care, I make dog treats, and dream of opening a doggy daycare. As a part-time worker and college student studying to become a vet tech, my mornings are free after class, which always ends by noon. This gives me plenty of weekday flexibility for drop-ins and dog walks. On days I’m not working, I’m fully available to give your pets the attention and care they need! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’m attentive, patient, and experienced with dogs of all sizes, including those needing extra care. I follow your routines, use safe handling practices, and always keep pets on-leash during walks. You can trust that I’ll treat your pup with the same care and responsibility I give my own.

“I am so happy to have found Sarah! I had a German shepherd mix who is an anxious mess. Sarah spent so much time during our meet and greet to make sure she understood Maizi and felt comfortable. Sarah is thoughtful, caring, patient and great communicator. I am looking forward to continue working with her.”

About: I grew up with my grandparents farm and a passion for all animal care! With having everything from dachshunds and labs to everything in between, rabbits and birds all alike! What sets me apart is my patience and passion for all the beautiful fur babies we all love. I currently am in school Tuesday and Wednesday nights 5-7, so I have plenty time to devote to your pups and all of their needs! I care for dogs with staying on schedule with walk time to feeding time, with proper crate time if need be and more than enough attention.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats(only a couple) since I was a kid. My friends, family, and nanny families knew they had someone they could trust to take care of and love their fur baby like it was mine. I have lived with a dog my entire life-all rescues(Golden Retriever, Pitty Mixes, King Charles Spaniel, Rotty Mix, Lab Mixes, Great Dane…) Our current fur baby Midnight is a senior Lab Pitty mix. I have experience caring for puppies to seniors. I am comfortable giving medication, feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up after, and transporting your dog. I have less experience with cats, but have house sat several cats-making sure to follow their feeding schedule and cleaning out their litter box. I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I worked with children 6 weeks to 5 years old for over 12 years. Which means I have lots of patience, love, and understanding. I have been lucky to be able to stay home with our daughter the last five years. But I am ready to make my way back into part-time work. I believes pets are our family and I will treat yours like mine. It would be a honor to help care for and love on them. I am currently a stay at home mom. My daughter is in preschool three days a week and starting kindergarten in the fall. So I have flexibility in my schedule. At the moment I am available Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 9am-12:30pm, and flexible Thursdays and weekends. I can do drop ins, hangout time, playtime, walks, and lots of snuggles and pets. At the moment I am not able to board any dogs or cats. My sweet boy was attacked in his foster home and still learning to trust other dogs again. I am comfortable come to your house to care for your pets.

“Collin was great! Super communicative and responsive, took good pictures. Will definitely have him walk Molly in the future!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.

About: Hi! My name is Rilie, and I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter with experience caring for a wide range of animals. I have cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline routines, behavior, and the patience cats need to feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also pet sat for neighbors with dogs, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. In addition, I have lifelong experience caring for rodents and reptiles, making me comfortable with pets that have more specialized care needs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’d love to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve! I’d love to meet you and your pets—feel free to reach out with any questions! Hi! I’m Rilie, I’m 24 years old, and I’m currently taking time to build flexible, meaningful part-time work while preparing to go back to school to pursue a career working with animals. Caring for pets has always been a big part of my life, and pet sitting is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. Because I’m not working a traditional full-time schedule right now, I have flexible availability and can be attentive, reliable, and accommodating to different routines and needs. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Working with animals is more than just a job for me—it’s the path I’m working toward long-term, and I treat every pet I care for with patience, respect, and genuine love. I provide care in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to remain in their familiar environment and routines. During visits, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter or habitat cleaning, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and safe and adjust my approach based on their personality and energy level. While I’m unable to offer care in my own home, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and house sitting, and I always prioritize consistency, patience, and clear communication. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I have grown up with dogs & cats and began taking care of my family, friends and coworkers pets when I was in high school. I’ve worked with seniors, puppies, and larger dog breeds like Great Pyrenees, Great Dane, and Newfoundland’s but have a special place in my heart for dachshunds. I am home all week so pups can spend as much time outside as they want. For walks, early mornings and late nights are welcome. I am usually available during holidays as well. Depending on the need of your pet I will be able to accommodate most asks. Crating, training, hiking, giving medications, giving baths, meal time, cuddle time or anything else you would need I can help with!

“Highly recommend Adam!”

About: I have an indoor orange cat which I adore. I have had several large dogs-german shepherds are my favorite! I can house sit and take care of your cats or one dog when you're away. I have volunteered at animal shelters. One was a cat shelter where I fed and cleaned cages and gave the kitties some play time, the other was walking pitbull dogs at the shelter. If you need someone to take care of your best friend , call me! Thanks! I am available now anytime to house sit or drop in for 30 minute visits or 60 minute visits before work, lunchtime or evenings. Whatever you need. Thank you. I will treat your pets like my own-they're family. I will treat them with respect and care. I'll give them lots of attention. Thank you

About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 5 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 12 year old daughter who adores all animals! I work Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm but make sure your fur baby is tended to before and after work just as I do my own :) I have a fenced in yard which helps make sure they have lots of space for running around. During the daytime hours while I’m away, the dogs are kept safe in separated areas of the house but are always left with a comfy bed, food and toys. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are either kenneled (if crate trained) or separated when not being watched directly. Dogs are let out in the fenced in yard multiple times a day and are given tons of attention :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years now, my aunt had very sweet german shepard that I would always walk, feed and play with. And now my family has our own dog that we love and care for very dearly! I currently work full-time, but I would be more than happy to take care of your furry friends on any of my days off or any afternoons I’m free!! My cat is indoors, but she always has food and water available, and lots of toys that’s she loves to play with! No fenced yard, but it is big and we have a very long leash that we use to play fetch with! And of course, lots of walks!

“We are so glad we found Drew to walk Benji. Drew is always dependable and a pleasure to work with.”
