If you are looking for a professional dog walker for your beloved pup; you have come to the right place!

Midday dog walking is a nice option for people with a busy schedule, and pooches with long days. Your dog will look forward to their daily «fun»… a walk and some playtime. This can be especially helpful for a pet that needs practice with housebreaking; or just gets lonely during the day. Cleaning up accidents, refilling food, water, and administering medication are all included in a midday dog walk. Knowing your pooch is comfortable during the day will also lower your anxiety level, and you will not feel as rushed worrying if your dog is going to «make it». Local References. Individual dog walking service is available in the Holliston, Sherborn, Ashland, & Medway areas. Your email inquiry will be promptly returned.

History

Established in 1986.

I started my pet sitting service in 1986 at the suggestion of a friend that needed her doggies watched while she went on vacation. Soon, pet sitting was a full time job for me. Over the years, I managed an Akita kennel in Bellingham, a 40-​stall horse farm in Medway, and spent 2 years working in the Large and Small Animal Hospitals at Tufts in Grafton. I also lived at an 18 horse-​boarding barn in Holliston, and got up every morning in the dark to feed and turn out my charges.

Over the years my customers consistently requested a midday walk for their dogs during the work week. Gradually dog walking became the majority of my business, and I was able to find 3 other wonderful pet care professionals to help me operate this growing service.

Today, Dawn, Gina, Cathy, Colleen, Tracy & myself walk the pups every week day for our clients, and love every minute of it! We also do some pet sitting for our «babies» and are available to help with many aspects of dog ownership.

Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. As a kid I begged my father for a dog, and when he said «no» — I started walking all the neighborhood dogs. I was 13 when I knocked on the neighbors’ doors and asked if I could take their dog for a walk. I was usually greeted with a surprised look, from both the owner and the dog!

When I was 15, I started working for a pet shop — Puppy Palace. I loved that job very much, I would ride my bike the 10 miles from Holliston to route 9 in Natick, just to spend time at the shop (much to my mother’s dismay).

Eventually I was able to get my own German Shepherd puppy. «Kaptain» went everywhere with me during senior year of high school. My nickname became «Woofy». I learned about dog obedience and confirmation showing with Kaptain.
