Dog Walkers in Whately, MA

“James was great with Taina! When we returned back home, Taina looked happy and well taken care of. James followed the instructions I left for Tiana’s feeding and gave her nice walks. I was always updates with various pictures and a narrative of how the visit and walk went. I will definitely use James again!”

“We started using Bree just over a week ago and she has been terrific! You can tell right away that she has a special bond with animals. She has been very responsive and dependable and has taken Bella on wonderful long walks in the woods and has added on backyard ball tossing. Bells is very happy to see her!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets from a young age. I’ve had many dogs of my own and taken care of litters. From coworkers needing a helping hand to neighbors taking a vacation I’ve seen it all. I have a part time job that’s very fluent with hours so I will have tons of time to take care of and even just hangout your pets. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and I am easily accessible if there is any worry or concerns about my care or your pets well being.

“Anna is super sweet and very communicative! She helped out walking my dog very last minute which I so appreciate. Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future :)”

“James is super sweet with our pups. They challenged him but with his patience and tender persistence, their first off leash solo walk was a success! Thank you James, we are looking forward to having you take them on more walks.”

About: Hi, I’m Jaclyn! I’ve always been an animal lover. I have taken care of family, friend’s, and coworker’s pets for over 15 years. I have been consistently pet sitting since 2020. This ranges from cats, kittens, senior dogs and puppies, to rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, mice, and tropical frogs. I make sure to keep your space clean; laundry, dishes, vacuum, take in the mail, take out the trash. I want your home to be a safe haven when you get back, with nothing to tend to when you return. I am a wonderful companion, and I make sure your pet is happy, clean, litter scooped, fed, walked, and they will get lots of love and playtime. I always respect their cues and boundaries for everyone’s comfort. Animals love me! Whether they enjoy playing ball or walks, or snuggles on the couch, I want to make sure your fur-babies are happy and cared for in your absence. I provide a free meet-and-greet before sitting dates; I want to meet you and your pet, and ensure they are comfortable with me ahead of my visit. I love check-ins for longer stays and taking photos. My house sitting overnight services are in high-demand so please book ahead for best results. Let me know how I can help! I look forward to meeting you ☺️🐶🐾 I began working at a doggy daycare in May, so a couple days a week I have a shift there, typically Tuesdays and Fridays. Otherwise, I’m mainly focused on house sitting, or dog walking. I am often in Amherst or Greenfield, and don’t mind traveling. My house sitting is very in demand so please book early. I have more flexibility for daytime walks. Thank you! I will go over your regular routines for your furry family member, and chat about what keeping your pet safe looks like. I love a good harness for walks, I’m familiar with gentle leads, and I carefully supervised backyard playtime. Wood trails are great for walks and I always keep a close eye to make sure your pet is not getting into any mischief! I exercise the utmost caution when walking on the street, keeping alert for traffic or other hazards. I carefully assess dogs we may meet on the street to ensure safety and distance if necessary, with skills I’ve learned working at a doggy daycare. I care for dogs in a reassuring, calm way, with lots of praise and patience. I have a good eye for ticks and I am always finding them, but your dog should be treated for this, too. Your best friend is in good hands with me!

About: I am an active 20 something animal loving gal. Throughout college, I dog walked and house sat very regularly. Now I take on more long term house sitting gigs, but I am open to new drop in/dog walking clients. I am comfortable and have experience with all indoor animals (big and small) and some outdoor critters (think chickens, goats, etc.). I have familiar and comfortable with the needs of puppies and older dogs, I have experience taking care of both. Currently, I work part time so I an free throughout the day to visit your furry friends while you’re at work. Additionally, I don’t have many responsibilities at home (no fur babies or kiddos), so I have a generally flexible schedule for housesitting. I am comfortable caring for animals with any kind of needs. I am adamant about clear communication with owners to understand how to best care of their fur babies and keep them safe. I reciprocate this communication when caring for your fur babies and try my best to stay in regular contact with owners.

About: I took care of dogs growing up, and now dogs are part of my family. My children have also grown up with dogs, helping with training, feeding, brushing, bathing, and playing with our dog. I am a middle school teacher who is home with my family during the summer. My 10 year old son and I are available to welcome your dog into our family life during the summer weeks and on weekends during the school year. We have a large yard with a stream and conservation land behind our house. We enjoy walks in the woods, running around and playing catch in the yard with dogs who stay with us. Inside dogs are allowed on the couch. We are home all day during the summer. We are excited to meet your dog and welcome them into our family life.

About: I have had dogs and cats as part of my family all my life. I have taken care of puppies and kittens to seniors and every step in between of my own and friends and family. My job is based on volume and is generally 6 to 8 hour day. I work 5 minutes from my house and at anytime if needed I would be able to run home for a potty or medication break My dogs are my world. I provide the up most safety standards for all of the furry paws that come into my life. I believe in treating everyone pets in a manner that I would expect mine to be. I have gone above and beyond to provide a secure fenced in yard. I also have a gate between the living area of my house and the front door to keep dogs from running out.

About: I am a true dog lover who would be overjoyed to help care for your dog(s). My dog, Parker (65-pound mixed breed), is my whole world and I will treat your pet just like they are my own. Thank you for considering me to help care for your pet(s)! I have used Rover in the past to find care for Parker and deeply understand the importance of finding someone you trust. My availability to help care for your pet(s) is very flexible - let’s connect & come up with a plan that works for both of us! I ensure we are on the same page about how best to keep your pup(s) safe and happy by beginning each dog walking relationship with a brief meet and greet.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of my own since I was 12 years old! I pet sit for my friends and family frequently. :) I am currently a full time student so on week days I’ll be available any time after 4 pm, except Wednesdays I’m available after 5pm. On weekends I am free pretty much all day! I am able to watch your pets in any environment and I am willing to do whatever you need me to do for your pets.

“Sarah was great with our active dog - They had a fun time exploring! Sarah is conscientious and professional. We are looking forward to working with her in the future.”

About: When I was growing up, I was always caring for at least two dogs and cats at my family’s house. Neighbors and friends also made me their go-to dog sitter when they went away. I have loved caring for two greyhounds, four loveable slobbering hunting hounds, a giant golden who always thought he was a puppy, and one super sweet bullmastiff. Since my landlords do not allow pets, I am looking to give my attention to someone else's canine. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I especially appreciate dogs that behave well on leashes and like big walks. I would like to help care for dogs in the Pioneer Valley, ideally around Amherst, Deerfield, and Northampton. If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and experienced dog sitter/walker then let's talk! I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)! Cats are cool too 👍 This winter and spring I have flexible working hours. I would love to break up the working day by visiting your pet and going for a walk. I will always provide gentle and loving care to your pets whether that’s playing outside or inside. Wherever care is given, I will always be mindful about respecting your living space

“Tanya consistently provides professional care for Chewy (my dog) and I look forward to scheduling her on a more routine basis. Keep up the amazing work!”
