About: Hi! I’m a graduate student with 5+ years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including seniors and pets with special needs. I’ve done drop-in visits and pet sitting for my friends in the Medford and Arlington areas, and I always treat each animal with patience, love, and attention. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, especially during the summer. So I’m available for pet visits and drop-ins on weekends and most weekdays. I’m happy to accommodate short-notice requests and extended stays when needed. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, medication, or playtime. I keep things clean, calm, and stress-free, and I make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.
“Shawn has helped me a number of times take care of my golden retriever and has been a real lifesaver. She is experienced, reliable, clearly cared about my dogs wellbeing and was also a great communicator. She took my dog April for multiple long walks and also figured out how to safely get her some running exercise on a long line. Would definitely recommend Shawn!”
“Julia and Grace are a wonderful team! They took Zara on daily walks as I was transitioning back to going to an office. I trusted them with access to my house and they did amazing keeping Zara active, feeding her a treat, and following up with me! I appreciate their flexibility and positive energy and would highly recommend them.”

“Andew showed kindness and conscientiousness and respect to my elder shiba inu, while also holding the boundaries that these basal breeds need. Knowing that Andrew was walking Jaxson gave me the peace of mind to do the work in the world I am called to do. Gratitude.”
“Good communication about logistics, and she let me know about questionable looking poop. (It was just because of his weird diet.) Friendly. I'm lucky she was available on super short notice! I'd happily use her again.”
About: I have grown up with big and little dogs my whole life. All throughout college, I fostered dogs until they found their forever homes and I currently have a small chihuahua mix (see my picture) who I've trained to do many tricks! I also have experience with different dog temperaments including anxious and reactive. I especially love working with puppies! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am available for walks or overnight stays most days of the week with advanced notice. Every pet is different, so I make sure to follow the instructions and schedules given by the owners. I like to treat their homes and pets with respect and as if they were my own!
“Sophia was such a pleasure to work with. Sophia came on time and collected Dakota and Bogomila on a walk replete with photos and helpful commentary. I look forward to working with Sophia in the future”
About: While I've never owned a dog myself, my love of them has extended out to others. I have experience walking and helping care for dogs dating back to high school when I would help care for our family friends' dogs in the Summer. I was also a volunteer dog walker during my senior year of college, walking a then 8-month-old puppy in the Fall and an older Dachshund in the Spring. I have experience with both younger and older dogs, and am more than happy to help walk yours! I work a 9-5 with a hybrid work schedule requiring me to be in the office every other week. Weekends will tend to be the best days for me but I am flexible and can work with you for weekdays if necessary. I am someone who does not mind pets being around me at all times. I am always responsive to needs and will strive to make sure your pet is always happy.
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young. From training playful puppies to providing gentle care for seniors, I adapt my care style to meet each dog's unique needs. I am experienced in feeding, walking, bathing, administering medication, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog needs an energetic play session or a calm, relaxing environment, I can provide customized care to ensure they feel safe and loved while you're away. I have a completely flexible schedule at the moment, so I’m available to care for your pets whenever you need! Whether it's weekdays or weekends, I can dedicate my time and attention to your pets for boarding, sitting, or walking. I live in a pet-friendly house with a back yard right next to a beautiful park, perfect for walks and playtime. Although I don’t have pets of my own, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment for your pets while they’re with me. Your furry friends will have plenty of space to relax or enjoy some outdoor time at the park!

About: Hello I am Dongfang (Hana)! I’ve taken care of cats and dogs (from mini poodle to Great Dane, from puppies to senior dogs) since I was little. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. Overnight boarding is cat only! I have two cats. Pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. My daily or weekly routine is flexible to accommodate the specific needs of each pet. I provide both in-home and client's home services.

Safety and comfort are my top priorities in both scenarios.
