I've never met a dog who doesn't love me

Hello hello,

I’m Johan, a proud Lowell local, lifelong animal lover, and 10‑year vegan. I bike throughout the city to visit clients and provide reliable dog walking and pet care in both English and Spanish. Caring for animals and helping their humans is genuinely my favorite kind of work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fill out a short booking form on this page, then we schedule a meet and greet. After that, regular walks or visits can begin.

It’s a free, quick 15 minute visit where I meet your pet, see the home, and go over routines, quirks, and anything you want me to know.

I primarily service downtown Lowell.

Safety comes first. On hot days, walks stay short and shaded. Light rain is fine for most dogs. In heavy rain, strong wind, or lightning, it’s a quick bathroom break and indoor play instead.

Fetch, tug, hide and seek with treats, gentle training, brushing, and cuddles. Outdoor walks stay the priority when the weather allows, but on tough days indoor play keeps your dog happy and tired out.

Slowly. I go at your dog’s pace, build trust, and plan routes around their triggers. Tell me what stresses them out and I’ll work around it.

I keep dogs leashed at all times, bring water, avoid hot pavement, and follow your care instructions. I’m experienced in handling loose dogs and other unexpected situations, and I’m Pet First Aid and CPR certified, licensed, and insured.

Yes, feeding is included at no extra charge. Just keep in mind that feeding time comes out of the walk, so the walk may be slightly shorter.

I contact you right away. If I can’t reach you, I take your pet to your listed vet.

I just need reliable access to your home. You can hand me a key, or leave one in a lockbox and I’ll return it after every visit. If service ends, your key can be returned, kept on file, or left inside your home, whichever you prefer.
