About: I have been around animals all my life. Grew up in the rural Midwest surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, in addition to the cows, pigs, chickens, and horses at nearby farms. I love animals and have helped care for them all my life. I am comfortable with all kinds and sizes of dogs and love getting them out on walks/hikes and playing with them, snuggling with them indoors as well. I adore dogs and remain calm, letting them get used to me before trying to engage...letting them set the stage or lead the way. Once I get to know them I am very affectionate with them and love to play and run around with them. I currently live in my own place with my cat and would love to care for your pets in your home. I'm currently between jobs and thought I would get back to pet sitting/walking for now. I love hanging with my furry friends and getting out for brisk walks! I will spend time getting to know your pet, snuggling with them(if they want), getting them outdoors and playing with them, keeping them on their feeding schedule and caring for them like they're my own.

“Laura had an instant rapport with Wyatt--she's clearly very experienced with dogs and loves them, and is an experienced dog trainer as well. She came to our house, fed Wyatt lunch, took him on a long walk and played fetch in the back yard with him. He had a great time and was a happy, content, tired guy when I came home! Communication was very prompt and frequent, I will definitely have her care for Wyatt again.”

“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!”

About: Hi I’m Christina! I’ve always loved animals and have several years of dog care experience through helping raise and care for my family dog, who is now 8 years old. I’ve regularly taken care of him for extended periods of time, including feeding, walking, playing with, etc and making sure he is comfortable and happy. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable watching over your pet, and I treat every dog with patience, attention, and care like they’re my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays when needed. I’m reliable with routines and communication. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep walks safe and supervised, and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable in my care.

“Lindy (Lourdes) has been so helpful walking our energetic golden retriever! She always comes reliably (with treats!) and keeps us updated on how things go. If it's wet she wipes our girl down. Our pup loves her and we rely on Lindy regularly.”

“Andrew is a patient and dedicated dog walker. Our dog takes some time to warm up to new people but he is friends with Andrew now and looks forward to their walks together. Andrew is also punctual and great at keeping us informed on how Casper’s walks go.”

About: Spent extensive time caring after my families dogs & cats as well as the pets of my neighborhood. I also look after my friends cats and dogs of Boston and Maine. Comfortable with walking, playing with, feeding, and even some light training with dogs. I don’t have certifications with dog training but I would be happy to reinforce training you do with them for some light commands. I work in sales in a fairly fluid environment. I spend some time at home and the rest of my time around the city and greater Boston. Drop in pet care/walking fits perfectly into my schedule as I can work from my computer and travel when needed. I do have a fenced in yard but I’m not currently accepting pet care in my own home outside of the critters I already have. I may open up to this in the future but I do use a lot of space In my car already.

About: I've had dogs my whole life and know how to walk bathe, clip nails, feed, and do anything else that a dog may need or want. I'm currently working part-time and love animals. So I will have plenty of time to take your doggos on walks. I am available all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I do not have a car so I will only be taking jobs that are walking distance or have nearby public transportation. At this time I am only offering dog walking services and house sitting between 1-3 nights on Thursday’s Friday’s and Saturday’s. I will keep your dog safe, let them sniff to their hearts content and make sure to stray away from anything they are afraid of.

“We are so happy that we found Aysegul! From out first meeting we could tell that she loves dogs and our dogs quickly warmed up to her. She was very punctual and attentive to our dogs behaviors and needs. She is also very friendly. Highly recommend!”

“Omar was great with our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks during the walks before his sitting stay. He was prompt, professional, and eager to get to know them, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. The dogs responded really well to him, and it was clear he was comfortable, attentive, and trustworthy. We really appreciated him making time on short notice and helping us feel secure before leaving them in his care. Highly recommend!”

“Max did a great job caring for our very-senior Rascal. He kept in touch and reached out to us when issues arose. We were very pleased with the care he provided.”

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for dogs, especially high-energy breeds. I have my own dog, Roo, who is a Vizsla, so I’m very used to active dogs that need plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation. Because of this, I’m comfortable with long walks, runs, play sessions, and keeping dogs engaged so they’re happy and tired by the end of the day. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your dog loves adventures outside, structured walks, or just wants companionship and attention, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I’m also used to maintaining routines with feeding, exercise, and basic commands to keep dogs feeling secure and cared for. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, exercised, and loved while you’re away. I am currently home for March break from school, so I am looking to spend the time helping out! I can make myself free all times of the day, any day of the week, as long as you let me know in advance! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions from the owner. Keeping a dog’s routine consistent helps them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure the environment stays calm, safe, and clean for the pet. I pay close attention during walks, keep dogs securely leashed when outside, and always monitor their behavior to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Because I have my own dog, Roo, a Vizsla, I’m very familiar with staying attentive to a dog’s needs, energy levels, and safety both indoors and outdoors. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Kaylor did a wonderful job walking our picky corgi! He listened to all our instructions and asked great questions! He is now our weekly dog walker and very reliable!”
