Dog Walkers in Whately, MA

“Lori is fabulous with our dog, Benji. He seemed very happy on the days they went on walks together. Lori is great with sending pictures and updates!”

“Daniel was really sweet with our high energy lab. He took Ziggy off our hands amidst the chaos of moving day and brought him home happy and tired, which made such a difference for us! We are happy to be moved into the area now and will definitely use Daniel again.”

“I've known Molly as both a colleague and friend, and she is one of the most reliable, responsible, and competent people I know. She is a total animal lover and whisperer -- she instantly bonded with my sassy cat, and has helped me out of a bind with cat care at the last minute. I would trust her to take care of my precious feline companion and home any time, and I could not recommend her pet care services more highly.”

“Juliana was really great with our high energy dog! She clearly knows what she's doing and is a great communicator! Looking forward to working together in the future!”

“Ash is amazing with Darcy! I fully plan on utilizing his services in the future & Darcy looks forward to working with him... Every time she sees him, she starts wriggling all over with joy; I cannot express the joy that brings me!”

“If there is one thing I know about Derek it is that he is willing to go above and beyond for his animals. I have seen him go out of his way for his cats more than anyone I know. Derek is always the first one to notice a cat on the street and to try and say hello. If he cares about other animals half as well as he cares for his own cats then I know that they would be in good hands.”

About: Your furry and leafy friends are in great hands! I specialize in meticulous care for senior pets and love meeting furry friends of all ages. With hands-on experience tending to an elderly dog as well as my own granny cat, I understand the patience and attention to detail required for their well-being. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog or cat! Bonus: As a plant parent of over 50 indoor plants (it’s a problem), I know how hard it can be to find care for your chlorophyll companions 🌵 if you need your green companions cared for alongside your pets, I’ve got you covered! I work a remote job with flex time based in another time zone, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. Having used Rover for my own cat’s care, I know it can be daunting to have a stranger come into your home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities, and I ensure a secure, loving environment while respecting your home. Expect thorough updates and thorough documentation!

“Zan was an excellent sitter for my orange kitty Louis! Zan visited my kitty every day to give him fresh food and water and spend some quality time with him. My cat likes to take walks on his leash, which Zan was able to do with him too! Louis also takes a daily medication, and Zan was able to give him regularly with ease. Louis was so happy to have a good friend like Zan stop by every day; he was calm and very happy when I got back! Zan also sent some great pictures of Louis while I was away, so it was like I never left :)”

“Janice took such great care of my dog Laila. She sent me lots of photos and updates and it was clear how happy Laila was there. I highly recommend Janice and will book with her again next time I need a dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been a veterinary assistant for a year, and I’ve pet sat for many. I’m currently studying animal science at UMass Amherst as I work to become a veterinarian. I have a very open class schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so I have plenty of free time to spend walking and caring for your dogs! I like to build trust with the pets I take care of before doing anything else. I let them sniff their sniffs and investigate anything they want before petting them or trying to put them on a leash.

“Thank you Taylor! Danea had a great walk and you gave us peace of mid, knowing she was cared for. It’s obvious you love animals, thank you for being prompt, attentive and caring with Danea!”

“When my toy Cavapoo, Dickens, and I first met Jaclyn Parker she was a receptionist at a hair salon. I was surprised and delighted to see that she also was willing to do pet sitting and dog walking. She soon left the salon and now does pet care full time. I was so happy to see that my dog was immediately attracted to Jaclyn. Her love of animals is apparent. At my age, it is hard for me to give my dog all the exercise that he needs—I walk with a cane. I hired Jaclyn to walk Dickens twice a week- and it has been an outstanding success. When Jaclyn comes, Dickens literally squeals with delight because he is so excited to see her. Since walking in the rain is not an option for Dickens, they sometimes play ball in my family room so Dickens can work off some of his excess energy. I also hired Jaclyn to dog sit for several days to live in my house with Dickens during the 2024 Christmas holiday so that I could have a visit with family. It was comforting to have someone who loves my dog as I do, stay in my house with him—someone I trust completely. I recommend Jaclyn whole heartedly She always comes when she is supposed to, texts me if she is running late and is totally reliable. She is a genuinely nice person and anyone who hires her is getting a gem.”

“He was really great keeping us in the loop. He was great handling a stubborn dog who didn’t want to come back inside the house!”

“We have a sweet but sometimes standoffish cat and very energetic (!) rat terrier who was still a puppy at the time - so a handful! Johanna watched our furbabies and house for 2 weeks in January 2024. Got home to happy critters and a clean and well-cared for house! We've already had her back once and would do so again.”

“I've known Catherine since 2000, and then all that time, she has always had pets of every imaginable kind. When I picture her, it is with a couple of cockAriel's On her head, a cat and a kitten on her lap, regaling me with a tale of Caring for sick lambs on her family Farm or Caring for 30-year-old horses. She has pet sat for my cats, finches, cockatiels, doves, and various other pets the entire time I've known her. Every time I came home, the litter box was clean, the pet food bowls impeccable, the floor swept, and the animals happy and content.she is the most thorough and meticulous person I know when it comes to animals. Perhaps even more importantly, she is a charming, personable individual who is liked wherever she goes, and trust she inspires is well deserved. She has always had the key to my home, because she's one of the few people on the planet who is welcome to make herself at home in my place, with my pets, anytime she would like. I highly recommend her for any service she may provide with your company.”

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.

“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!”

“Emily W. has been an outstanding cat sitter for us. She began working for us when our two Siamese were kittens, last summer, and we have been very impressed by how professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and gentle she is - a Siamese whisperer who understands their needs and helps us to be better cat parents. We recommend her highly.”

“Anne was a great communicator and we were very pleased with her services!”

“Kristina has been a phenomenal dog walker! She’s exceeded my expectations by showing the most care and attentiveness for my dog. She gives detailed rover reports and submitted DOZENS of photos for each walk. I would highly recommend her if you need help with your pup!!!”
