Dot Walks

End of an era for now!🦮🐕‍🦺🥹💔🩷

As my clients know, today was my last day of dog walking (in means of having a set day/ schedule each week).

I am now going to be focusing on my fulltime career in canine rehabilitation mon-fri 🐾🐶

⭐️ I will continue pet sitting (always available) & dog walking (when I have open availability) ! So it’s not a goodbye forever🥰!!!! ⭐️

This is bitter sweet as I love these dogs more than anything, but I have other dogs I have to help too at the rehab.🫶🏻

Thank you everyone for being so understanding and for my Dot Walks dog walking clients being a HUGE part of my life the past 5ish years.

Maybe one day I’ll revisit Dot Walks as my full-time gig but for now it’ll be PT. 🐾🩷

**Please don’t hesitate to reach out about pet sitting requests as that service isn’t stopping. Dog walking will be by availability only**

Lacey knows she's not the easiest placement but after two months at the shelter she's really hoping someone out there can be here forever home 💙🤍

This right here is 120 lbs of pure love. Lacey has the most perfect personality. She can blend into any home, giving you all the love. Lacey is 7-years-old and the most gentle giant.

Lacey loves car rides, walk and stuffed toys. She is calm, quiet and happy to greet any human and dog with a wagging tail.

What makes Lacey a hard gal to place is her medical needs. When Lacey came to SAS, she was drinking large amounts of water and urinating so much she often didn't even know she was going. It was both heart breaking and frustrating as we all love Lacey and want to help her.

Currently, we have what we hope will help Lacey on her health journey and has helped with her urination issues. Lacey's current diagnosis is Diabetes Insipidus. This is not the type treated with insulin. Lacey is being treated with Desmopressin and Proin. Our vet team will work with Lacey's adopters as we navigate more of her future medical needs.

Lacey's adopters should be prepared for more than average medical costs. We know that is a heavy burden when adopting a dog, but this sweet angel will truly fill your life with joy.

Mastiff owners will understand that these dogs are typically expensive anyway, requiring larger amounts of food due to their size. We will be looking for an adopter with a great relationship with their own vet too.

Lacey is unique in that her personality is flawless. All dogs should be like this absolute gem.

Goodbye Summer☀️…

Hello Fall!🎃

As a Dog Walker fall has always but top tier walking weather! 🍁

This was the first summer in years I wasn’t walking fulltime and it was an adjustment that’s for sure! I miss my babies but am so grateful for my clients and doggos working with me still as I navigate three jobs🥹🫶🏻!

It means the WORLD to me the understanding and caring I get from my Dot Walks family!💕🐶

Here is some photos of Madden and Violet from this past week. I just love these 2 girls SO much! Madden is the swimmer in the pack can’t ya tell😆🤪! Violet just loves to get cuddles and treats instead🥰.

Hi friends!🩷

I’ve been so overwhelmed lately with pet sitting requests ( which I’m so so grateful for! ). Following with that comes a change for rates as I find myself running all over the place and not being compensated properly.

Here are my new rates!🥰 Calculated and thought out properly so I can continue doing what I love without losing money with commute time/gas etc.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Local dogs are Quincy!🐾

Come on Barbie let’s go PAWty💖💕🩷💝!

Loved having miss pug Barbie ‘Birdie’ accompany Ken ‘Archie’ for a fun filled pawty all weekend!💗

I love her fabulousness and cute personality. She is one of a kind!

Meet 🐾BIRDIE🐾!

I am watching Birdie this weekend while her owner is away. She is the cutest pug and is SUCH a good girl for me!🎀

She is having a ball as she has been coming to work with me ( meeting so many doggy friends! ) and hanging with her new bestie for the weekend Archie when we get home.

She has been my little sidekick for the past 48 hrs & counting😍!

So happy to have her here and see how much fun she is having!💕

🦮🐾 DOG WALKING AVAILABILITY🐾🐕‍🦺

As many as my current clients know I have cut back on dog walks as I have been working fulltime at a Boston Pet Rehabilitation ( my dream job!! ). I am so thankful for my new fulltime veterinary career but want to fill in my other days with my small business I love dearly!😊🐶

I am gaining an immense amount of dog experience that I can now implement to my Dot Walks clients (senior care, disabled animals, proper dog handling etc!)

**** I am dog walking every Wednesday and am looking for some new pack members to add to my crew! I would love to fill up my day fully!

I am also available on Saturday & Sundays for any walks needed! ***

Please share to support my small biz. Dot Walks is reliable, trustworthy and experienced😊💕!

🏠 Pet Sitting services always available! 🏡

Reach out for any questions!

🐾My first foster - Toupee🐾

Toupee had a foster family already but they needed someone to help with his first 2 nights which I was more than excited to take on!

Within the last couple of days only toupee has gone from being a full stray street dog - never being inside or knowing where his next meal is coming from. To all day vet appointments then immediately flying 5 hours all the way to Boston! He’s gone through a whole lot in the past 3 days!

He is a very gentle soul. Has not barked once! He is curious about his new world and seems very grateful he can sleep in peace! He doesn’t know how to walk at all on a leash - legit won’t move quality.

I am very happy to have fostered my first pup and be the bridge between his old and new life.🐾💛

Toupee is my real life “Toto”🥰

Been behind on social media posts but I am still out dog walking when I’m not at the vet hospital!💞

I look forward to seeing these special doggos every week!

This sculpture is entitled, "My Hero, My Friend," and was made in honor of military working dogs.
We hope you have a meaningful Memorial Day.

Recap of these past weeks walking and sitting these doggos! Very grateful to have lucked out with some amazing dogs in my pack!💛

I just love Skip! 🤎

Skip is part hound/pointer mix so when we walk you bet his nose is on the ground the ENTIRE time! Sniffing up anything and everything.

Now whenever I see a dog with that same quality I can spot a hound or hound mix anywhere thanks to skip! He is the best.🐾

Amazing spring day of dog walks!🌷☀️🐾

Featuring Everett, Skip & Ellie!

As my owners know I took a small break from dog walks and am very happy to be back! Dot Walks may not be my only focus job anymore but I will always try and find the time and energy for it. These dogs are my life!

I appreciate everyone for being understanding.💛 I am biased but I have the BEST community here at ‘Dot Walks’!💞

4/23/23 Today is Lost Dog Awareness Day! If you see a wandering dog, the safest and quickest means of helping reunite that dog is to call your local animal control officer. If you're aware of a lost dog in your community, or if you see a flyer matching the dog's description, call the number on the flyer directly to report the sighting instead of trying to catch the pup. Pursuing and calling out to a dog, who may be in survival mode, can force the dog to hide, or run in a panic near busy roads. A great way to help owners reunite with their lost dog is to help hang flyers locally, and enter the number in your contacts so you can report sightings ASAP, this is much safer and more effective than heading out and actively searching for a scared dog. And remember, a dog's appearance can change quickly when lost - fur becomes dirty and matted, dogs can lose weight if there isn't a reliable food source - it doesn't mean the dog was neglected or unloved. Help spread awareness!
