“Sunny has been doing an amazing job with my high energy, large dog! She has been extremely reliable and takes my dog for a long walk so she is nice and calm when I get back from work!”

“Atlas loves her and so do we! Literally so grateful to have Alexandra as our walker and sitter. Receptive, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable. Patient with our pup :)”

“Emily is amazing! She took such great care of BB8 and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pup absolutely loves her, you can tell she has a genuine love for animals. She’s reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker! Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats as long as I can remember—I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been pet-sitting almost as long! I have watched up to 5 animals at once and have experience walking, feeding, playing, and delivering medications. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats. I’m a graduate student so my schedule is very flexible. I am able for drop-ins during work hours, walks, or any other sitting needs. I’m happy to discuss specifics further based on what you’re looking for! Unfortunately one of my roommates has pet allergies so I would not be able to host any furry friends, but I am more than happy to hang out with your pet in their home.
“Kean responded promptly and helped me out with a last minute dog walking need. He asked thoughtful questions, followed all instructions, and did a great job. I would hire him again for sure.”

About: I am adaptable to your dog’s needs—whether it’s playtime, nap time or a walk around the block, I will make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable while you’re away! I have experience with dogs of all ages, and am qualified to meet needs such as dietary restrictions, reinforcing training exercises, administering medication and caring for multiple pets. I am a part time master’s student at Northeastern with lots of time to care for your fur baby 🐾 I have online courses, so I can attend class and work from anywhere. I’ll be sure to plan my class work around your pet’s needs! While I am in your home, I will follow your routine to keep your pets comfortable and stress-free. I can provide meals, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and any special care or medications they need, while keeping their environment tidy and familiar.
About: I've been taking care of animals most of my life. I'm experienced with pets with high energy, low energy, and everything in between. I can also give medication. I am full-time caring for animals. Your pets are my priority. I'm available for drop-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and overnights. Your fur babies are safe with me. When I take care of pets, I treat them like my own. All the love I show to my own furballs, yours will recieve the same.
“I have to leave another 5-star review for Marcos! He consistently goes above and beyond for our dog, Deacon. He gives her daily walks and has come to our rescue several times when work or travel plans have changed at the last minute. He is reliable, caring, and consistent. We highly recommend Marcos for pet care!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and grew up with them. I volunteered in an animal shelter for 4 years bottlefeeding newborn puppies, caring for young dogs (walking, playtime, basic training, kennel cough medication, bathing/tick treatment). I also owned a dog with complex medical issues (epilepsy and autoimmune) so I am experienced and detailed with medication schedules and specialized dog diets. I love to walk and run and have grown up with dogs, so I can't wait to meet your pet and provide them with the best care and attention! Fun fact: I adore all dogs, but have a soft spot for sighthounds (borzoi, greyhounds, whippets, silken windhounds, and salukis!) I am in graduate school so I am able to easily fit pet care into my daily routine from 7 am- 10 pm on Monday, Wednesday, Friday-Sunday. I am extremely respectful and communicative when entering client's home and have a list of questions for clients to understand their preferences and pets' routines. I provide dog walking services and am able to do long walks/runs with your dog, but I do not off-leash services unless in the client's home or fenced yard.
“Kaitlyn was a wonderful dog walker who took very good care of my dog when I was traveling for a few days. She followed all of my instructions closely and left long detailed notes and cute pictures after every walk. I could tell that my dog really enjoyed walking with her and I would definitely recommend hiring Kaitlyn if you get the chance!”

About: I am a lifelong dog and cat lover who truly loves spending time with them - I get so much joy in caring for a pet and figuring out how to make them happy! I've grown up around pets of every size and energy level. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk their dogs on schedule or cat-sit and play with them to make sure they feel cared for. I am currently unable to do in-home pet sitting, but I would be happy to drop-in or take your dog out for their daily walk(s)! I am attentive, cautious and will always keep an eye on your pet and their surroundings especially while out and about. I currently work a hybrid (mostly WFH) and flexible work schedule, so I am able to drop-in and structure my schedule if your cat/dog needs specific timings! I'm happy to discuss timings and keep you updated as much as you prefer. Currently I am only able to offer in-home drop-ins (no overnight stays or hosting in my own home). I am responsible, trustworthy and will be respectful of your home and pet's environment.
About: I have worked with animals young and old, stubborn and easy going, aggressive and anxious. I understand animal temperament, and I know how to get them to pose for a cite picture. I have a very flexible schedule. I can make time for pet care as long as I have a week's notice. Weekdays work better for me I will be in constant communication with you about your pet, and I will ask the right questions beforehand to make sure I'm prepared. I have ample references to pull from to make sure you feel safe.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 2 years. I love walking with them, going to parks, and giving them a cozy place to stay I love going on walks and spending time at the park, so having a dog with me feels amazing. I make sure they feel happy and comfortable at home. I usually take care of pets in my home, where they can feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. If needed, I can also pick them up and drop them off
About: I have had pets all of my life and adore taking care of them! Specifically I have had guinea pigs, dogs, and cats. I have spent time taking care of my own dogs and neighbor’s dogs. I will tend to your dog’s needs efficiently and with care. :) I have experience in walking dogs (big or small), feeding them, and most importantly playing with them and keeping them happy! I am on winter break from mid dec-mid january so my availability is very flexible! I would love to help care for your pets while you vacation for the holidays. Check my calendar for the specific days I am available:) I will be able to travel to your residence to pick up your dog and take them for walks around the area or to nearby parks. If visiting your residence, I will make sure to be attentive to your dogs needs indoors and take them out as needed.
“Leigh was great with my dog and a guest dog that she agreed to care for on short notice! She was professional, caring and clearly wanted to provide special care fitting my pets. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new sitter!”

“I am so happy I have met Rachelle. She really knows how to address the needs of my "special" dog. She has already walked my dog 3 times and I plan on using her kind and professional services more. This is actually the first time in 7 years that I allow a "stranger" (not anymore) to take care of my dog. Thanks for your thoughtful work, Rachelle.”

About: I have grown up with a Rotty, a Boxar and a little guy who is a lasa-poo! So I have been around dogs all sizes and ages. Also have taken care of family friends and neighbors dogs throughout my life. I am currently working from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend a ton of time outside and walking which I love! I do not have a fenced in yard but directly behind my house I have a fenced in dog park that isn’t too busy but has great regular visitors. I am living by myself and would love the company of a furry friend!
