Marathon Mutts
About
Marathon Mutts is a dog walking and pet sitting business in Winthrop that also serves parts of Revere and East Boston. Walks are one-on-one, with one household’s dog at a time, so each pet gets full attention and exercise. The team uses positive reinforcement and fear-free handling, and dogs come home dried off with paws wiped clean after rain or snow. Cat sitting and four dog sitting options cover owners traveling for a day or longer.
Founder Janelle “Nellie” Schamaun grew up in Colorado with three Bernese mountain dogs and moved east to pursue figure skating for Team USA. After her skating career she spent three years with a dog walking company in Waltham before opening her own business in Winthrop. The business was founded on the idea that dogs differ in their social and emotional needs, and the same walkers return so pets know who is coming in.
