One dog? Two dogs? Three? No problem. I am an active person seeking to give love and exercise to all types of animals. Whether they want to leisurely walk or take our pace to a jog, I am up for anything. I am a life long owner of a rambunctious black lab and expert in cleaning up the messy stuff.

I can walk to the comfort of your dog! I am very active but also enjoy leisurely strolls. It is all about the capabilities and needs of the pup. I know older dogs can take longer and get tired faster, and younger hearted pups need to run. I am also comfortable with multiple dogs.

I love walking fast and long, throwing balls and frisbees is a must, so I cannot wait for some pup/puppies to join me on these excursions. I can do anywhere from 1-5 dogs at a time. I grew up with a lot of dogs so I am more than capable of handling small to large dogs. I cannot wait to meet my four-legged friends!

The walks will be either leisurely or active. They may be a little bit of both. May stop and start playing depending on time and weather. I think there should be a healthy balance of walking and playtime. I prefer solo walks, but will walk up to 2 dogs. It becomes too chaotic when multiple dogs must be walked by one person at the same time.

I always do walks with your dog(s) only; I'll never walk dogs from multiple clients together. I like to keep your dog in it's normal routine - whether that be going for a jog, to the dog park, a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, etc.

I've walked quite a few dogs that aren't keen on other pups so can cater to that also.

My walks vary depending on the dogs preference. They can be leisurely or active and I usually find a nice spot in nature for walks. I am a runner and can run with your dog as well; usually 2-3 miles. Walks can be solo or include multiple dogs from the same owner or neighborhood. Walks will cater to your dogs preference. I look forward to meeting your dog!

The walk can be leisurely or active. If leisurely, it can be one dog or I can bring my dog along to socialize. If you have a big dog that needs to be active and run, I'm happy to take him/her on a run with me. Happy to take them to the park to hang out too.

A specific walk for a specific dog! Whatever your dogs needs are, I am more than happy to provide. Whether he/she likes a leisurely stroll or running around in a park, he/she will be taken care of.

I have many friends with dogs, and I'm willing to sit for more than one dog at a time, so depending on that walks will be either solo or with other pets. Again, this is as per your pets needs.

My apartment is located right next to the spacious Public Gardens. The Public Gardens is known for it's beautiful views and trails, in which your best friend and I will get plenty of exercise. Also, if your pal wants to meet up with other dogs, I'm a short walking distance from South End's Peter's Park Dog Run, an off-leash active and safe dog park. I normally love playing fetch or running alongside your dog in this fenced-in park in order to provide the ultimate exercise!

I would love to take your pup for a stroll thru his or her neighborhood! I like meeting all types of new dogs and there is no issue I haven't dealt with before. Your pup will have a great time on our walk! I will bring my own or use provided leash and collar as well as snacks and treats. I will walk your dog solo or with any other dogs you may have. I look forward to meeting your furry friend!

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Boston

  1. Look for a dog walker who has passed a background check.
  2. Ask a DogVacay dog walker for a free Meet-n-Greet. Take your pet for a short stroll in Boston, letting the dog walker hold the leash. You’ll know quickly if this is the right person for your pet.
  3. Then visit your home with the dog walker, so your pet becomes comfortable with this person in the dog’s territory.
  4. Make plans for letting the DogVacay dog walker into your home. Some people may feel comfortable providing a key. Others keep a key in a combination lockbox. Many people use smart locks and programmable key codes.
  5. Discuss the length and route of the walk in your neighborhood in Boston. Cover what kind of updates you want (such as a “bathroom” log or behavior notes).
  6. Explain what your treat policy is after a walk. Keep treats safely stored, and let the dog walker know where to find them.
  7. Make sure your pet has the right harnesses, collars, leashes and equipment for a safe and fun walk.
