“I cannot speak more highly of Eleanor! She took such good care of my pups, is an incredible communicator, and responded so well when one of my dogs had an emergency. I would leave my dogs in her care any day!”
“Natalia has walked my dog multiple times and she is awesome! She is extremely reliable, responsive, and great with my dog. Would recommend her to anybody! Thank you Natalia!!!”
“Thomas is such a gem!!! Book him! He’s punctual, communicates well, and is patient. My dog Cairo is not everyone’s ’cup of tea’ (not that I care, since I love him) but he’s vocal at times from excitement and has high energy as a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. Thomas arrived on time, and took Cairo on an hour long dog walk. Although it was 80+ degree humid weather with no breeze, he did it with a smile on his face. Moving forward, whenever I need a walker for Cairo (most likely 1x weekly), I will contact Thomas to check his availability. And next time Thomas, I’ll have a nice cold unopened bottled water for you. Thomas, thank you for bonding with Cairo and accepting his high energy level. Not sure if you’re told this enough, but you are absolutely amazing!”
About: Remote worker | flexible time | well experienced I have 12 years experiences in take care of different dogs, including puppies and senior dogs (ranging from 2 months to 14 years old). I have a small well trained goldendoodle at home that will keep your baby occupied! He is very well socialized and he is always around other dogs. I can also work with your pup to do training. I work fully remotely, so I am home all the time including weekends. I will be there to give your pup the love and attention they need! My time is more flexible and I can do walks or exercise for them based on your instructions. We usually go out for 4 walks a day. Your pup would be getting the love from our family and it is also a very safe community with multiple dog parks that is walking distance for them to run and play! I do not give dog human food and always check if they have dietary restrictions. If they can get treats, I provide dog treats and dog safe vegetables (like carrots, broccoli) but all in moderate amounts. I provide multiple big water bowls at home and change to fresh water multiple times a day. I do not crate dogs at home unless instructed and they are more than welcomed on the bed!
About: Some of my favorite memories are of my sisters and I playing with our dog, Flor. I love animals and will provide a warm, playful and caring place for your dog to stay. I have a light day to day schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available evenings after 5pm, as well as throughout the weekend and on holidays. I have a beautiful large yard for your dog to play in, and live in close proximity to many amazing parks and green areas where your dog can make some friends!
About: We welcome every dog like family! Whether it’s their first visit or they’re a returning friend, we make sure each pup feels safe, loved, and part of our home from the moment they arrive. Miu Miu, our sweet and social 1-year-old mini golden doodle, is the perfect playmate—she adores meeting new dogs and sharing her toys. We love taking pups to the dog park for exercise and socialization, and at home there’s always time for play, cuddles, and healthy treats (including veggies and chicken breast if you approve!). With us, your dog gets the perfect mix of fun, care, and companionship. Pet care is a natural part of our daily life! We have a 1-year-old mini golden doodle who gets four walks a day, tons of playtime, and all the love she could ask for. My partner works from home and has a flexible schedule, so someone is always around to provide attention, care, and supervision. We also love taking our dog to nearby parks to run around, explore, and burn off energy—it’s a big part of our routine. Your pup will enjoy a mix of structure, play, and plenty of affection, just like one of our own! We provide a safe, loving, and clean environment in our pet-friendly 1-bedroom apartment, where your pup will feel right at home. Our gentle doodle Miu Miu loves having doggy friends over! We follow your pet’s routine closely—whether in our home or yours—and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. With flexible schedules and a calm, respectful approach, your pet will be in caring hands every step of the way.
“Cori was great with my 80lb pup for walks! She was flexible in scheduling, sent me lots of pictures so I knew she was being well taken care of, and was available for a quick meet and greet a few days before walking her. She is responsible and sweet. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“Samantha accommodated a last minute request to walk my dog a few days in a row. She showed up on time and sent photos. I love her post walk updates! Would recommend. Thanks, Samantha =)”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting since I was in middle school. I’ve taken care of puppies, old dogs, disabled/blind dogs, and of course my own little black Labrador, Luna. I personally raised my lab, trained her, and am her primary caregiver. I’m currently a college student in Boston and am quite busy Tuesday through Thursday but available most weekends for drop ins, walks, and house sitting! I can calm/soothe dogs if needed. I can also do some light training or crate dogs if necessary. I can be a calm companion or a fun playmate depending on the dog!
About: I've been a dog lover all my life and have cared for many family pets as I've grown up. Currently I live in an apartment and don't have the space for a dog of my own so I'm so happy to get the opportunity to care for your dog! I'm a recent college grad looking to help take care of your dogs! I work a part time job but I have a lot availability especially in the afternoons and weekends. I unfortunately don't have the space for in home pet care at this time but for walks and client home drop ins making your pet feel comfortable and safe will always be my first priority!
About: Have grown up around dogs all my life. Experience with pets big and small, active and energetic, as well as lazy and lovable. Patient and knowledgeable dog owner that has trained multiple dogs. Recently finished the bar exam. Hoping to make use of time until starting work to get to know your furry friends. I am available during weekdays and business hours to take your dog on a walk, let them out, or feed them while you're busy during the day. Or just take them on a nice walk and provide some more exercise and enrichment. Have lived in the city for 10 years, experience walking dogs in urban environment. Happy to take your dog to any parks or outdoor spaces nearby.
About: I have always grown up with and loved dogs! I have cared for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and cats over the years, helping with feeding, walking, and companionship :) I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and most temperaments! I bring a calm, patient energy that helps animals feel safe and at ease. I treat every pet like with kindness and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I am also trained under Nero's Law to provide BLS to dogs! My childhood dog was a loving yellow lab. However, for the past eight years, my family and I have cared for our two golden retrievers who I love immensely - managing everything from daily walks to vet visits and health concerns. While both are playful and energetic, one is also anxious, so I have experience working with more sensitive or nervous dogs. I am a recent college-graduate working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with and walk your pups! Access to visits by the T is preferred. I always aim to create a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment. I follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to adjust to any special needs. I treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: I have taken care of friends’ dogs (Shih Tzu/Bischon Frise, Cocker Spaniel) while they are out of town for longer than 4 days. Unfortunately cannot have a dog myself due to size of apartment so I would be very excited to get some dog time during the day! I am working from home couple of days a weeks so I am now up for long walks, short walks, mini hikes, some tricks, fetching or just a pee break for your fury friend while you are at work. I will fully follow any instructions you provide- I am here to help your dog feel more comfortable during the day and give you peace of mind.
About: I have three dogs of my own (whom I am away from right now at college) and I’ve cared for dogs and cats alongside my babysitting responsibilities for families I have worked for. This includes watching multiple dogs at once and making sure they are happy and cared for and go out when needed :) I am a college student, with no responsibilities on the weekends, and I would love to dedicate some of that time to caring for your pet! I live with other dog lovers who would help to give you dog plenty of play time if we are not out walking. I would love to go for longer walks and make sure that your dog is getting the most attention and care they can get!

“August took amazing care of my two cats while I was away! They went above and beyond by not only feeding them and refreshing their water, but also cleaning up the litter area without being asked. I especially appreciated the extra time and care August spent bonding with my shyer cat, Pancake, who usually hides from new people. It gave me so much peace of mind to know both of my cats were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

I can always count on Peter to follow her feeding schedule, give her meds if needed, and take her for walks that tire her out and quick potty breaks as needed. She gets all the attention she needs and I can enjoy time away knowing she’s with someone I trust. If you need someone to look after your furry family member while you’re away or trust that your dog is getting the walk they need, Peter is a reliable and trusted sitter/walker! Highly recommend to everyone!”
