It is said "find a job that you love and you'll never work a day in your life". While that may not be entirely true, I am indeed one of the fortunate few who has found a job that fulfills me and makes me happier than I ever could have imagined. With the help of my husband & co-owner Ultan, my General Manager Jannine and my amazing team of dedicated walkers I am lucky enough to spend my days surrounded by wagging tails and purring felines enjoying all the New England Seasons have to offer

I used to be known as the "lab" guy. After moving to the States from my native Galway, Ireland and buying my first house the first thing I did was head out and get myself a puppy. That puppy was Juno! She was the most amazing & loyal friend and lived a long & healthy life before I had to say goodbye to her at age 16. After that I got my lab fix from DAP and have walked pretty much every lab we have. So, it is pretty ironic that I am now the proud father to Benji, a 30lb Cocker Spaniel and Aggie, a 9lb Jack Russell / Chihuahua mix. When not hiking with your dogs, I work as a Realtor for Vogt Realty Group in Dedham.

Hello! I've been working at DAP since 2011. I've had dogs all my life. I grew up with Beagles and had a Newfoundland, Yellow Lab and a Boxer. My most recent dog was Lily a Treeing Walker Coonhoud that I rescued from Forever Home Rescue. She was an amazing dog that I miss greatly. She passed away in January 2023.  I love working at DAP and walking all my pups. I love how happy they are to see me - I am their favorite Auntie after all! It's super cute when you see some of your pack becoming bff's with each other and how excited they are to see their pals everyday. I feel lucky that I get to spend my day outside with dogs and the connections I make with their owners is priceless as well.

Hi! I'm Rebecca. And these are my dogs Chi and Nix. When I'm not hanging with them, I'm with my DAP pack. I've been with DAP since April 2017, but I've always been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I'm originally from Vermont. I grew up competing in Hunter Jumper shows with my horses. And of course had a dog, cats, parakeets, hamsters... I had a whole menagerie. I love my job because I get to be out in nature, with my 4-legged friends. Best of all, I can escape the crazy world in the woods, and be at one with nature and my pack. See you on the trails!

I grew up in Islington and fell in love with the local hiking trails with my Boxer Jasmine (RIP). I am thrilled to be working with DAP and to be back exploring the area with my pack. When I'm not walking dogs, you can find me on the yoga mat or at a poker table

Bonjour! I'm Flo, dog walker by day, soccer coach by night. Growing up in France, I've always had a dog by my side. When I got the opportunity to surround myself with muddy paws and stinky breaths, I just couldn't resist. Walking in the woods with my pack gives me that feeling of freedom and serenity that I need. It's a nice balance between the calmness of the woods and the chaos of the soccer fields. I am now a father of a couch potato named Buffy and a toothless cat, Noel, who absolutely loves being held

I love to be busy and I also work as a Dog Trainer for my own company Fluffy Ruffian Academy, getting plenty of practice with my own rescue pups River (female Rottweiler x Retriever) and Lowkey (male Pittie mix)

I grew up in New Hampshire loving my dogs and the great outdoors, I can’t wait to extend my love to your pups! When I’m not with your pup I’m outside hiking or on some sort of adventure with my tiny chihuahua mix. I’m always on the go and I love life being fast paced.

You know, it only took me 30 or so years of trial and error to realize that perhaps office jobs and I weren’t an ideal match. I finally made my escape and started at DAP shortly thereafter, in the late summer of 2022. I can honestly say that working with dogs is the most enjoyable, fulfilling job I’ve ever had. Sure, sometimes the weather can make for some challenging walks, but I feel fortunate to be able to get outside and spend some daily quality time in the woods with the many pup friends that I’ve made.

I'm Kaylla. I’m an old soul in a young body. I love antiques. My love for animals is the same as my love for chocolate and pickles. Which is ALOT! I enjoy being out in nature and going for jogs. But I also love spending time with my fur babies Ethel and Lucy.
