About Us

Walden Pet Services was founded after the closing of Ritz Canine in Concord, MA, and is owned by dog walker and pet parent, Julie Gabrilska. We provide services in Concord, Carlisle, Lincoln, Maynard, and Acton.

Walden Pet Services is comprised of a group of adults who care deeply about animals; many are pet parents themselves. The Walden Pet family loves each pet as if they were their own, providing dogs, cats, and other small animals with hands on, transparent, engaging, and consistent service.

We specialize in catering to each pet's individual identities. Right from the new client interview we'll get to know their name, furry face, and distinct personality. Each pet visit is then tailored to your pet's specific needs — whether while you are away for several hours or for multiple days while traveling, or just want your cat to have extra cuddles or your dog to go have some fun! Dog walks can be solo or in small groups for socialization. Clients can choose from neighborhood walks, trail hikes, or yard play.

You know your pet the best — let us love them the way you do!

Meet the Walden Pet Pack

  • HUXLEY

    2010-2022
    A true “Petfinder Special”! Hux was Julie’s right hand dog before and during her early years at Walden Pet and was the inspiration behind her becoming a professional dog walker. He was always ready to hit the trail or dig into his extensive toy collection. His favorite treat was bacon!

  • MARTY

    b. 2024
    Adopted from Save A Dog in fall 2024, Marty has fit right in here at Walden Pet! When he isn’t busy greeting everyone who stops by our office, he’s out joining new friends on various neighborhood and trail walks. His favorite treat is cheese!

We are fully insured and bonded through Business Insurers of the Carolinas.
