Dog Walking Allston-Brighton

About: I’ve helped take care of my roommates and friends’ pets. I’m very active and will be happy to take your dog on walks. I also work at home so I’m available during the week. Although I have not had a dog myself, I have owned chickens and cared for them very well. Their personalities are honestly very dog like. I am self-employed and work at home so my schedule is very flexible. Would love to help take care your pet and would love the company I love in an apartment building with a patio which can be used for quick potty breaks. I live with my sister who would be thrilled to help pet-sit. Our parents never let us have a dog/cat growing up and having a pet full-time isn’t a good fit for us, so pet-sitting would be ideal.

About: I have a toy poodle named Gumball who is living with my parents now! I trained him and watched him grow up before leaving the house to go to college. I have the same enthusiasm when it comes to small to medium sized dogs. I am free on the weekends and some Wednesdays and Fridays. I am flexible so feel free to reach out! I can take your dog out to a walk or teach him new tricks. I give my dog Gumball a fresh bowl of water every day and clean bowls daily. I take him out for multiple walks a day and brush his hair at night. I’ll be sure to say goodnight and give him a Greenie!

“We are very grateful for the work that Andreas has been doing with Tango. He has always comes on time, responsible, and very kind. His gentle and professional way of handling Tango has truly helped our two‑year‑old puppy to continue maturing and feeling confident during his walks. Tango enjoys his time with him, and we’re glad he will keep walking with him. We highly recommend his work.”

About: I've always been around animals growing up, from dogs to birds to horses, and everything in between. My neighborhood often sought me out when they needed a sitter, or just someone to stop in and throw a ball around. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, and love learning about their individual personalities! I am comfortable taking animals on long walks, or keeping furry friends company while their family is away. Staying overnight does not bother me whatsoever, or dropping in at multiple times during the day. I know how special pets are and value their companionship. I look forward to working with pet owners and getting some animal love that I have been lacking in my life for a while! I’m a graduate student at Simmons University, but my schedule is very flexible and I am always willing to work with owners to make something work! I want your pet to feel as comfortable with me as with their family. When house sitting, I'm a stickler for details and ask lots of questions so that I can make the sitting experience comfortable for pets. I'm active and can keep up with pets that have high energy, but can also be a stay at home TV watcher for those types of pets as well!

“I can’t say enough great things about Maia. She walks my dog Lexi every day. Lexi ADORES her and she sends tons of pics and gives me detailed info about the walk. Lexi couldn’t be in better hands.”

“Zilalai is so great with my large husky! She learned the commands he knows and uses them for him. This helps us so much, and him, with sticking with routine. It’s a breath of fresh air to have Zilalai!”

“Elizabeth was amazing! She was super flexible with our time and when our address wasn’t updated! Lady looked like she had the best time, thanks again!”

“Carley took our dog Emmitt on a long walk. She took lots of pictures and played with him when they got back. Our little guy is a ball of energy and she handled him well. Thanks Carley!”

About: I am new to Rover, but have taken care of dogs since I was 11 with my childhood dogs, most large sized! Additionally, I have ample experience with pet sitting for neighbors, including both cats and dogs, and overnight stays. I am familiar with dogs with special dietary needs and preparing their meals, and distributing oral medication. I love meeting all kinds of pets and seeing each one’s unique personalities! I am a recent BU graduate with quite the flexible schedule! While I do some remote tasks from home each day, I am able to create my own schedule. Therefore, I can accommodate a variety of visits. I am only unavailable Wednesday nights from 6:30-9:30 pm. With the services I provide, I can help ensure a safe environment for your pet at your home or on walks. I am experienced with pets that are crate trained as well as pets that are not. I understand that each pet may have different levels of trust towards new people and look forward to building that with them!

About: I grew up with two English Setters and cared for them from their puppy years through their senior stages, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I’ve also dog-sat many times for friends and neighbors and have experience walking multiple dogs at once, safely and confidently. I truly love animals and take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and loving care treating every pet like my own! I work a 9 to 5, so anytime before 9 AM, during lunchtime, and anytime after 5 PM, I am available. Weekends I typically am available all day long! I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’ll always follow any instructions you have for walks, feeding, routines, or anything else they need. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I also know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

“Meaghan was great with walking Apollo! She made sure to keep me updated throughout the walk and let me know how he did while i was gone! Would definitely recommend her!!!”

About: I grew up with goldendoodles. My first was a full sized, about 80 pounds. I’m used to handling big or small dogs. Now I am a cat dad for a senior cat (over 20 years old). I am seeking part time employment. I am available throughout the workday for walks, check-ins and anything else your pet might need. I am also available on weekends. I am able to provide services in your home. I cannot board without disturbing my own cat. I am gentle with animals and attentive to their needs. I am detailed oriented and happy to give your pet the special attention it needs.

“Rachael was great with my pup! She took care of her every day for a full week and went on some nice walks with her.”

Niko K.

“Diane is always attentive to our dog’s needs and is good at communicating how our dog has behaved during the walk. It’s so nice to know how my dog is when I’m not around. I highly recommend Diane.”

“Gabriela has been wonderful with my dog. She is reliable, communicative and extremely accommodating. My dog can be leash reactive around other dogs and Gabriela is wonderful in navigating him away from troublesome situations. Highly recommend!”

“Kayleigh was very easy to communicate with and flexible with her arrangements as I had booked two walkers for the same day! She was very willing to change times and thoughtful about my needs. I will absolutely have her back next week!”

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life! I was raised with two dogs and two cats and have cared for them, my friend's pets, and other animals in my community for as long as I can remember. I enjoy the long, meandering kind of walks with dogs who want to smell everything and enjoy the route, finding the perfect way to pet a cat (based on their specific preferences), and generally love any space with an animal in it. If your pet needs special care, a complicated feeding or grooming routine, or just some extra love I am here to help! I'm currently the owner of the large, rather rotund cat in my photos who - while being the joy of my life - requires specialized feeding and medication. I am more than comfortable assisting in any medication administration and any other needs your critter has. I am a work-from-home writer, my schedule is flexible based on your needs. I am available for walks in the morning and afternoon and drop in visits throughout the day. As an animal lover I understand the need for careful attention when owners are away. I want to give the animal in question as much attention and stimulation as they require. If your pet has a favorite play space, walking route, or way they like to be around others I will gather all of that information to best support them!

“Lavendar is so dependable and is great with my dog!”
