Dog Walking in West Springfield

About: I have been walking and caring for my own personal animals - 2 dogs, cat, bird, hamsters since I was 5 years old. I also have been dog sitting and walking for numerous neighbors and friends in the area. I work during the day a full-time job. I am available early in the morning and after 4:00pm during the week. I am available on the weekends anytime of the day. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Brittany Spaniel, Maggie loves to run around and play ball. It is completely fenced in so she can't get out. I love to be outside playing with my dog and bring her on 3+ walks a day around town and at the local park.

“Erin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Earl. Since she has been walking him he’s more calm when I get home and behaves better for me on our walks. I would highly recommend her. Very friendly responsive and amazing with my pup!”

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.

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

“Thanks for taking Alpha for a walk today. I forgot to tell you I took that little black piece off The door handle it’s kind of a pain so I have it. It’s not lost but thanks for letting me know.”

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’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. I am used to recognizing and responding to their needs and treating them with the utmost care and affection. I have experience with walking my own dogs, one of which was a large dog and the other is small, so I know what to expect when walking a dog of any size. I also know to be very vigilant while on dog walks and to be cautious of other dogs, when I take my own dogs on walks I avoid any interaction between them and other dogs we may see on our route because you just never know the temperament of another persons dog. I am a college student currently on summer break so my schedule is very open, which means I have ample time to help your pups get their steps in! I am available Monday-Friday from 11am- 3pm to take your furry friends on walks. I will care for your fur baby like my own during our walks. I am extremely attentive and will keep your pup from eating random things on the ground, keep them away from cars and anything else that could pose as danger.

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: 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: 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: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am loving and have compassion. Every time I meet a new dog they can sense the good energy from me. ( I can’t update my schedule timing but it’s Monday- Friday 5-10pm) and Saturday-Sunday ( 9am-10pm) I am currently working full-time. I can come by and take care of the dogs or cats for however long after 11am as well as do drops in. I can care for pets at my clients house by maintaining a boundary in where the dogs or cats are supposed to be. As well as set up a little place where they can be at so I can watch them and play.

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!

“Shayla has walked my dog Yogi twice now, and she has been great each time! Our meet and greet went really well, and when it rained on their walk, Shayla took the time to clean Yogi's paws and dry him off. I loved seeing the photos from their walk and playtime on the Rover Card. I look forward to using her again!”

About: I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or older and needing extra care, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize giving them consistent attention and care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care throughout the week. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free while their owner is away. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, walking schedules, medication needs, and household rules while making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise.
