About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 9 years old. Growing up, my home was always full of pets, including cats, dogs, parrots, and bunnies. My dad is a veterinarian, so I’ve had the unique opportunity to learn about pet care firsthand, including administering medications, dog first aid, and CPR. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and even administer medications to their pets. Now, as a college student in Boston, I’m excited to bring my passion and years of experience to help local pet parents care for their furry companions! I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pet! My calendar is always up to date but please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about availability. I live in Boston, where I have access to beautiful parks and pet-friendly areas for fun and safe walks. I’m always mindful of your pet’s safety and comfort, ensuring they get exercise, love, and attention while in my care. Whether it’s a quiet stroll, a trip to a dog park, or games at home, I’ll tailor the experience to your pet’s personality.
“Lauren did a great job handling our 3.5 yr old pug. She has a limp from a recent injury and Lauren was great, playing with her inside rather than doing a full walk which the vet told us not to do for a while. Additionally, she did everything we asked to a T, when the request was last minute. Thank you so much Lauren!”
About: I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages. My cats at home are seniors. I’m good at making sure the animal gets to keep their routine. I am very good at knowing when cats or dogs want attention or need something. I have many years of experience dog walking with my friend. I am working part time right now so my schedule is really flexible. I will make sure to take my time to spend time with your pets. I love cats so much they are my favorite animals. I think it’s important to never leave the door open and I’m very good about making sure the cat can’t escape. I’m a big believer on respecting cats boundaries. I can tell when they want attention or when they want to be left alone.
“Lily did a great job with Evie, including dealing with some unexpected separation anxiety. She was an excellent communicator and we appreciated the extra effort she put in to make sure Evie felt better.”
“Dejah is amazing. She took such great care of my pup and cat.”
“Emma is amazing. Great at communication, trustworthy and absolutely amazing with my dog. He is always looking forward to his walks with Emma and will for sure miss her!”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and am now a cat owner myself. I will take care of your pet like it’s my own! I am a law student so my schedule is very flexible! However, sometimes I am on co-op where I do work full time. I do not mind waking up early or making time in my day to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for! I make sure that every animal feels comfortable and safe at every visit! I am good at reading cats and dogs and will let them take the lead.
“Sasha was wonderful again with my dog Yoshi! She is so reliable and I trust her completely with Yoshi. She takes so many lovely pictures and gives a very thorough description of what my dog was up to! She clearly loves dogs and always gives him extra cuddles!”
About: I've cared for family and friend's pets, as well as for the Metro Boston community as a trusted dog walker and pet companion. It's a service unlike many, it brings genuine joy. I'd be so happy to walk your pup! My work schedule has shortened from full time to part time, which makes me more available to sit for dogs of close friends in the Dowtown/South End areas whenever necessary. It's special to share time with pets of friends and to provide them of the walk of feed that's needed, and it's a wonderful way to build community. I live and work in a Chinatown studio loft with one other person and no pets; the space is large with ample running space and clear of debris and large funtiture.
“Anna went above and beyond for my Emmylou. Would highly recommend her as a sitter and walker.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past 15 years for family and friends! I am very reliable, organized, and stick to feeding and medication schedules. I make sure your pet gets lots of playtime, walks (for dogs), and get the attention they need! I also can take care of your pet at any age- from puppies/kitties to elderly pets. I also am certified for pet CPR for both dogs and cats. I’m excited to meet your furry baby!

I am in between jobs now so I have a pretty open schedule, so let me know what day and time works best for you. I unfortunately can’t board your pet in my apartment as they have a no pet policy. However, I can do drop-ins or stay at your home for house sittings. I am very clean and always make sure to prioritize your pet’s needs!

Carla H.
“Carla has been helping take care of my dog and cat for the past 4 years, and she has consistently showered them with love and attention during this time. A moment that particularly exemplifies her dedication to pet care is when she cared for my dog, Olive, who had a horrible stomach bug. When Carla arrived to watch Olive, the excitement of her arrival caused Olive to have an accident in the house. Carla insisted that we leave and not worry (we had a flight to catch), and she told us she would clean up the mess and handle everything. This was absolutely incredible of her, as I was fully preparing to have to cancel our trip and deal with Olive’s sickness and resulting mess. It was amazing. She is truly the best dog sitter of all time.”
Back Bay-Beacon Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer is so communicative and available for our dogs!! She provides great walks along with photos , highly recommend :)
6/5 Stars! Kate went above and beyond for our dog Casey. Even on short notice she was super responsive and took her out for an extra long walk. Will be booking with her again!
Michael is awesome! He was responsive, on time and took good care of Luka during his walks. Highly recommended .Thank you!
We definitely recommend Jenin! She was very patient with our dog Homie, played with him in the park, and even brought him treats when she came to walk him. We hope to book her again next time we are in need of a walker and we know Homie will be excited to see her.
Umnia is absolutely amazing. She's an incredibly experienced dog walker, and came prepared with questions I hadn't even thought of. On walks or during playtime at home my little girl looked entirely herself. Umnia made my dog's transition to latchkey kid as painless as it could have been, and her detailed updates were a definite bright spot during my day!
Samantha did a great job walking my dogs. Took great care of them and kept me informed of their wellbeing.
Catherine is not only very kind, but also clearly wonderful with all types of dogs. My dog is not the easiest, and he was extremely comfortable with her. :) Highly recommend!
Casey has been walking Jackson three times a week, and ever since we found her, I’ve felt so much more at ease on office days. She’s punctual, reliable, and very communicative. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough
To say that amanda is the best is an understatement. She has taken the best care of our girl over the last 7 months while we’ve lived in Boston. She is very communicative and caring. You can tell she truly loves and cares for your pet. We know our Riley girl is going to miss her, and so are we.
Megan was great with our dog and very flexible with timing shifts last-minute. She sent lots of pictures and was happy to follow all instructions around certain behaviors our dog has. Will definitely have her help out again in the future!
Brad walked my dog Easy for around a year and was fantastic. Super responsive, took great care of Easy, and I couldn't recommend him more!
Absolutely loved having Lynne as our dog walker! She was awesome - super friendly and had great communication throughout. She walked our dog, Liliboo, for 3 days and instantly became his new best friend. Lynne kept me updated every day with messages, notes, and adorable pics that made me smile. I could tell Liliboo absolutely adored her - he was so happy and comfortable. Can’t wait to book her again! Highly recommend!
