Dog Walking Woods Hole

About: My husband Bill and I currently have two senior dogs, requiring special needs. We have boarded dogs and puppies teaching them the use of my doggie door outside. We reinforce some basic commands, such as sit, stay and come. We are retired so we have plenty of time to walk/visit or sit and play with your furry family members. Our schedule is very flexible. We currently do boarding in our home, we also provide pet sitting in your home, which consist of three or more visits per day. We will visit sit with, cuddle with, play ball, or walk the dogs as you would.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years, and I run my own small pet care business here on Cape Cod, so this is my full time job, not a side gig. I’m fully insured, pet first aid certified, and I’ve cared for everything from big strong breeds to shy rescues to small dogs with big attitudes (yes, little dog syndrome included!). At home I’ve got a high energy Brittany and a gentle Cavalier, so I know both ends of the energy scale. Pets I’m great with: ⚓ Puppies and senior dogs ⚓ Rescues and shy pups ⚓ Large, strong breeds ⚓ Little dogs with big personalities ⚓ Multi dog households ⚓ Medications and special diets Pet care is my full time business, so your pup is my priority, not something I fit in around another job! I cover Falmouth, Bourne, Sandwich, Mashpee, Cotuit, Centerville, Wareham and nearby towns. I especially love weekly clients because I get to become your pet’s favorite visitor. Got a surprise trip or a long day at work coming up? Shoot me a message and I’ll check my calendar! Your pets get to stay home where everything smells like you, which makes the whole experience so much easier on them. I’m fully insured, pet first aid certified, and I’ve spent 15 years with every kind of dog, from big strong pullers to sweet nervous rescues. Doors stay shut until everyone is secure, no one is ever left alone in an unsecured yard, and your house rules are my house rules while I’m there. My own dogs stay home unless you’d like a playdate! In My Care & Environment: 📍 Supervised and Secure: Pets under my care are never left unattended in unsecured areas. I am extremely mindful of door safety, ensuring pups are secure before any entryways are opened. 🐾 Tailored to Their Needs: With a high energy Brittany and a gentle Cavalier of my own, plus years of experience with large breeds, rescues, and small dogs with big personalities, I know how to keep energetic dogs safely stimulated, help nervous rescues settle in and feel secure, and give small or sensitive dogs the patience and structure they need to feel completely protected and relaxed. 📸 Clear Communication: I believe trust is built through transparency. You will receive regular check ins, updates, and photo updates so you always know your baby is safe, happy, and thriving. 📋 Strict Adherence to Routines: Whether your pup has specific dietary restrictions, precise medication schedules, or distinct boundary training rules, I follow your instructions down to a T. My goal is to provide a reliable, peaceful, and incredibly safe environment so you can travel with absolute peace of mind!

“Lauren is amazing! I just moved to the area and she was able to make room for us in her schedule. She has been so professional throughout the entire process. She has been so great with my dog who has been anxious throughout our move by giving our dog plenty of love, patience, and attention. She also sent updates and pictures through the day, which we loved to see! We can not say enough wonderful things about Lauren!”

About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I have always had pets of my own and taken care of family and friends pets. My children are all grown so I have alot of free time and would love to help others with busy schedules. My schedule is quite flexible and I am available 7 days/week. I currently work 32 hours per week 7-3 alternating days and every other weekend. I am available some days for morning walks and everyday after 3. I will walk your pet where you prefer I do and am also willing to take them for rides to other walking areas such as canal or trails.

About: I volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am great with both dogs and cats. I grew up with my cat, Hepsiba, born before me who died when I was nearly 20 years of age. We were best friends before I knew what that was. Then at the age of 12 or so, my parents adopted 2 English cocker spaniels, brother and sister. Robbie and Flora. So I was taking care of three pets. Then I raised Bruce, a rescued black lab mix from August 2013 until 2025 with some breaks for the US Army. And I taught him very well; he passed in June 2025 but he will always be my companion at my side. For some time I carried him, 120 lbs, up and down flights of stairs. Sometimes from here to there, carefully, comfortably, gingerly. I have a background in psychology, and I’m a dog trainer and a bit of a behaviorist. I’ve taken care of pets for family members and friends. And did so professionally in the past prior to Rover, after friends got me into it, which I started in August 2025. I’m great with animals. After spending even just a short time with them we can often establish a connection or rapport, especially when training a younger pet (or caring for an older dog). I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, I could run with your dog, play with them, but mostly we’ll be doing what they want - within reason. I will basically be spending the entire time with your pets. We’ll wake up between five to eight in the morning, and we’ll go bed between eight and eleven at night. I’ll be up with them as they need and we’ll be in and out much more than is required. I am delicate and meticulous and believe in leaving no trace that I was there. I want my client after their time away from home and their animals to not be met with the mess that I could be leaving behind. I am committed to performing an act of cleaning based on the tools available.

“Chelsea was great with our dog Gracie while we visited the Cape on vacation. Chelsea stopped by to walk Gracie and was a great communicator. I loved her pics and report!”

About: I am a very compassionate, enthusiastic person that absolutely loves dogs! I don’t have a dog of my own anymore and only take one dog with no other dogs - unless the dogs in your family are more than one - the more the merrier in that case I’m in! I know many dogs do not get along with other dogs which is normal for many dogs, no worries I get it! This is a huge peace of mind for many dogs and their owners- and my specialty catering to one dog - hence my pricing. Believe me it’s worth every penny! A bit about me- my family and friends have always say “I’m a dog whisperer”! I have always had dogs in my life, but I lost my best friend (yellow lab). She was my soulmate! I am now ready to enjoy and take care of your fur-baby or fur-babies as my own. I give one on one attention to your dog that you will not find anywhere! All the dogs do very well with me, and their owner’s have all said they’ve had a huge relief knowing their fur- babies are in good, loving hands with me! You will absolutely have a peace of mind!! I’m available for house sitting in their comfort of your home or vacation/summer home or boarding here at my home. I also do drop in visits with walks, play and company for your pet. I love going on adventures with trail hikes, beaches and exploring with your pups. I know dogs, and I know their needs. Dogs need social interactions, company and lots of attention just like we do as humans! Your dog(s) will always be my bestie too! I look forward to hearing from you, meeting you and your fur baby! I am home full time (early retired teacher) and have plenty of time to walk, play and cuddle with your pet! I’m available for your needs and your pet needs too! I have a great yard, deck to play and hang out together. I live in a quiet area that has great places for taking walks, hikes, beaches (when dogs are allowed during the year here), and adventures with your fur baby! People tell me it’s like doggie vacation camp when their dogs come stay with me!
