Dog Walking

+ Pet Sitting

“Do you want to go for a walk?” No? O.K. Let us do it.

As the name of my business implies, I really do love your dog! This isn’t just a job for me, it is my passion!

I began my professional pet care and walking service part time in the Fall of 2017. This work became so physically, emotionally and spiritually rewarding for me, I chose to make it my full time work.

My house sitting experience dates back much further to the late 1980s, beginning on Martha's Vineyard where I also worked as a carpenter and private property caretaker. Many of my clients had dogs and cats, so in addition to remodeling their living spaces, occasional deck repairs, fixing stairways, tending to their flower beds, walkways and driveways, I was only too happy to care for their pets at the same time.

Over the last few years, I have focused on walking groups of dogs, usually 2-3 groups per day in the fields and woods of the Arnold Arboretum and Lars Anderson Park. Boston's wonderful green spaces offer dogs a chance to stretch their legs and socialize, which is of course so good for their physical emotional and spiritual health as well as mine!
