I am taking classes online right now and my time is flexible. I have an English Bulldog named Henry who only ever wants to go for car rides. I am always trying to find ways to exercise and keep moving so I would truly love to play or walk with your dog.

Hi, My name is Paul and I have had rescued three dogs since 1997. I had a large Bull Mastiff / St. Bernard mix named Veego that passed away at around 15 in 2012. I have had a German Shepherd since 2005, Honey is currently 14 years old. I have also had a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Ben since 2007 that is about to be ten. I have pet sat for lots of friends in the past. Pitbulls, Rotweiller, Labradors, Boxer, Pug, Chihuahuas, French Bulldog, and a few Terriers. Seeing any dog always puts a smile on my face, from abandoned rescues to show dogs. I enjoy learning their unique personalities and quirks. I will treat your dog (and home) like I do my own, with love and care. I've also been vegetarian / vegan for over 25 years and like to stay active. Reliable transportation for North Shore and Boston.

Dog Walking in North Reading

North Reading is a picturesque town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Created as an independent town in 1853, some of the well-preserved buildings and houses date back to 1730, and the town center retains this historical feel with a Federal style meeting house and a Federal village with period houses.

Adding to the ambiance of the town center is the recently completed, state-of-the-art North Reading High School. The amenities and beautiful surroundings the town has to offer -- as well as its proximity to Boston -- has seen North Reading become a very desirable spot for families to live.

There are a number of parks and trails in North Reading and its surrounding areas for you and your pooch to explore, including Reading Town Forest, and Bare Meadow, both in the nearby town of Reading. With two highly-rated veterinary clinics located in central North Reading, as well as a number of dog grooming services both in town and nearby, you can be confident that your dog will be well looked after while you're here.

If you’re planning on spending a few days in the area, there are quite a few pet-friendly hotels available, including Red Roof Inn, and Best Western Plus in nearby Woburn.

A little further afield but well worth checking out is the Dog Beach in Nahant, MA. There are only a few beaches on the North Shore where off-leash dogs are allowed during the summer, and this beach is one of them. In case you’re worried about your pooch wandering off into the water, Dog Beach has a rock wall which also acts as a barrier to keep dogs on the beach. Dog Beach is also a popular spot for kiteboarding and windsurfing, so you will have to keep an eye on Spot to make sure he doesn’t shred any kites!
