About: If you're looking for someone who can truly keep up with an active dog, you’ve found the right person. I am an outdoor enthusiast who believes that a tired dog is a happy dog. Living in Allston (02134), I am right in the heart of the action and familiar with all the best local routes, from the Charles River Esplanade and Ringer Park to the Soldiers Field Road Dog Park. Why choose me? - New to Rover, Fully Dedicated: As I am just starting my journey on this platform, I am highly motivated to provide top-tier care and earn your trust through 5-star service. - Fully Mobile & Local: I am very mobile and cover Allston, Brighton, Brookline, and Cambridge. - Maximum Flexibility: Since I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute requests or mid-day walks when your plans change or work runs late. - Tailored Activity: From high-energy runs for athletic pups to slow, mindful strolls for senior dogs, I adjust every session to your pet's specific age, health, and energy level. Cat Care & Drop-In Visits When I’m not out on the trails, I’m a dedicated cat lover. I have extensive experience with feeding schedules, play habits, and specialized care. I am punctual, reliable, and will ensure your home stays exactly how you left it. I’m excited to meet my new furry neighbors in the area. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to schedule a quick, free meet-and-greet to see if we’re a perfect match! - Monday – Friday: I specialize in the mid-day window (11 AM – 2 PM). This is the core part of my weekday routine, dedicated to giving your pets a much needed break, fresh air, and exercise while you are at work or in classes. - Weekends: My schedule is fully flexible. Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or just need extra coverage, I can typically accommodate any time that works for you. - Local & Responsive: Since I live right here in Allston, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. This allows me to be very punctual and often available for last-minute requests or short-notice drop-ins. - Whether in your home or on a walk, your pet’s safety and emotional well being are my top priorities. I treat every animal with the same level of care I’ve given to my family’s and friends' pets for years. - Routine & Comfort: I strictly follow your established routines (feeding, exercise, medication) to minimize stress for your pet while you're away. - Active Supervision: During walks, I am always alert to our surroundings, ensuring we stay on safe paths and maintain a respectful distance from other animals to avoid any unpredictable situations. - Home Security: I take your trust seriously. I am very attentive to home security and will always double check that all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked and the alarm (if applicable) is set before I leave. - Clear Communication: I love sending quick photo updates or a short message after each visit so you can see that your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Polina is absolutely fantastic! She is very easy to communicate with, always very quick with response, extremely flexible with scheduling, and wonderful with my dogs, sending lots of pictures every walk. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in great hands. I will definitely ask her to help with dog walking again very soon and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring walker.”

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced pet sitter with over 4 years of hands-on work caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of small animals. I grew up surrounded by pets—rabbits, snails, cats, and many others—which taught me early on how to understand and care for different animal personalities and needs. Today, I live in a stable, pet-friendly home with one well-socialized ragdoll cat who is friendly and relaxed around other animals. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and at home. 🌟 What Your Pet Can Expect One pet at a time — Your pet receives my full attention and care A clean, calm, comfortable home perfect for overnight stays Weather permitting, fun outings to dog parks and local beaches A friendly resident cat who enjoys company but is respectful of other pets’ space Your pet will enjoy a peaceful, stress-free environment with plenty of affection, playtime, and individualized attention. Whether they’re energetic and adventurous or shy and sensitive, I always adapt to their needs to make their stay feel like a home away from home. I follow your routines and house rules so your pet feels secure, I always use their own bowls, beds, and toys for comfort, and I can handle special needs like meds, senior support, or post-surgery care. Litter boxes and habitats are cleaned daily, and you’ll get plenty of photo and video updates so you never miss their best moments.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Emily! Emily has been walking our dog for the past 5 days, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly kind. You can immediately tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. Our pup took to her right away, which says everything. Emily has been consistent, communicative, and attentive to our dog’s needs and routine. She gives thoughtful updates after walks, which gives me real peace of mind while we’re away. It is such a relief to have someone trustworthy caring for your fur baby, and Emily has absolutely delivered. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely continue using her services. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and amazing with dogs — Emily is the one! 🐕✨”

About: I have been an animal lover in my whole life growing up. I had a white cocker spaniel named Rainbow (that was the first thing I thought of when I got him as a five-year-old). she sparked a lifelong love for pets since then I’ve carried for cats and dogs of many friends and family members. I am currently a full-time student. I am able to have drop in visits on the weekends and also some time during the week. I can do doggy day care during the weekends and a few days during the week as well. I am able to on-board depending on a few factors and house sit. I do live in an apartment with a few other roommates who can help take care and provide services. There is a park near where I live which I can take them too.

About: I have had dogs since I was young. I have experience ranging from small to large. I just adopted a lab mix and I honestly love walking dogs so much that I would love to walk yours as well. I would not walk the dogs at the same time unless we talk about it prior. I love dogs and walking and would love to help be a part of your pets life! I’m currently working part time and am available weekdays during the day for walks or at home visits! I currently work part time, normally in the mornings. I am available Monday-Wednesday, after 11 am and Thursday, Friday after 3 pm. Dog walking would help fill out my weekly schedule. Going slowly. I know dogs get scared when approached too fast. I would treat all dogs with patience, giving them the time to trust me. I would introduce treats and toys.

“Lavendar is great with my dog Nyles. She is incredibly dependable and is wonderful at communicating.”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals — from helping raise dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and hamsters in my own home, to professionally pet sitting and walking since I was a a young teen. What sets me apart is how naturally and intuitively I connect with animals of all kinds and how deeply I care about making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved when they're with me! I’ve had the unique (& humbling😄) experience of raising & training (crate, potty, leash) a beagle puppy as a 15-yr-old, while also helping my senior golden retriever through end-of-life care. I've also fostered and understand the unique needs of different breeds, temperaments, and how to meet pups where they're at. Whether it’s managing an energetic puppy's exercise routine, gently caring for a senior pet's slower pace, or understanding how to read a timid dog's body language—I’m highly attuned to the needs of every pet & always happy to follow special instructions.😊 My ultimate goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home with me & give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in the most loving, reliable hands possible! I’m currently focusing full-time on pet care, so I have a very open & flexible schedule! Whether you need a midday walk, overnight care, or last-minute help, I’m available & happy to work around your routine. I genuinely love spending time with animals & I’m excited to fill my days/weeks giving your pet the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep your & their space clean and safe, and send regular updates (& pics). Any specific instructions should be discussed ahead of time, otherwise I’ll ask questions as they arise. I am highly attentive to communications (messaging/calls) when pet sitting for everyone’s sake! I live in a spacious, 3-bed 2-bath, 2nd story sunny apartment with plenty of room to play & relax. I have a lots of cat/dog toys, but happy to use yours if applicable. My neighborhood is very safe and quiet, with quick access to the street for potty breaks & right around the corner from a beautiful park with a fenced-in play area - plus walking distance from 2 fenced dog parks for extra exercise & playtime.
