Stillwater Dogs - Dog Walking and Pet Sitting - Quincy, MA

Member since Sep 2020

As times are changing and many are now working from home, your dog walking needs may also need a change up as well. And because of that, I am happily now providing a Romp & Run option to my services menu! This option offers your friend time out of the house--enjoying a romp (or time to explore for quieter dogs), a change of scenery, as well as to benefit all in preparation for the possibility of your heading back to the office sometime in the future. This service will be a 20-minute visit which will include a great walk, plus much one on one attention for your furry companion. Need more time for a Zoom call or getting an errand done, this is a completely customizable service for whatever your needs are for that day!

Happy, Happy Dogs -- plus Cats and other Critters too!

Be it for fun, daily, personal, individual walks while you are at work or several visits to your home while you are on vacation, you can leave with the peace of mind that your dog will be in responsible, caring hands as a seasoned dog walker and pet sitter. My special clients have their own customized visit, fitting all their needs while they are in my care.

Being a lifelong, loving animal owner with much dog/pet experience - 35+ years - from puppy training, working at and with humane societies, to vet know-how. Professional, energetic, reliable, dependable, and trustworthy, I will respond back quickly and in a conscientious manner, each and every time.

Customized Individual One-on-One Walks/Home Visits can include:
- New Service: 20-minute Romp & Run for those pups that just need time out of the house!
- 30-minute to 60-minute Sniffari or Hike Around
- Personal Walk with your dog only
- Approved treats and fresh water at each visit
- Feeding
- Medication given if needed
- Playtime
- Cuddle time
- Tuck-in Service

All these visits are always tailored and customizable to meet my clients’ wishes, making it the most comfortable time for you and your dog or pet. You can relax knowing your puppy or pet is being completely taken care of and having a super fun time! After each visit you will receive a text update with lots of pictures and captions--showing just how much fun your best friend is having!

If you’re interested in learning more about my services, I’d be happy to chat more over the phone or set up a complimentary Meet & Greet! See you soon!

**Stay tuned for a new service coming soon!**
