Michaela is super reliable, and I really appreciated how effortless the whole process was from day one. I simply sent over the instructions, and she handled everything seamlessly from there. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands!

About: My family has taken care of dogs my entire life. We’re constantly taking in and fostering dogs that don’t have another place to go. Sometimes we bonded especially well with them and decided to adopt them as our own ❤️. Now I’m living away from my family and missing the love and energy I got from having the pups around. I’m currently working hybrid from work with q very flexible schedule so I have the ability to keep the dogs company and walk them outside during the day. My roommate and I previously fostered a dog in our first-floor apartment close-by to the esplanade. Living a hundred feet from the park has been so convenient to let the dogs play and walk around.

About: Having lived in Boston for the past 8 years, I know great walking routes in Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, Cambridge, and nearby green spaces. I’ve been caring for friends’ dogs for years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’m comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to older dogs who prefer slower, gentler walks. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure each walk is tailored to their personality and needs. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, or a calm routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every time we’re together. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be dependable and consistent for walks and drop-ins. I enjoy being active and outside every day, so having your dog join me would be a pleasure! I’m available for weekday walks, evening visits, and many weekends. I’m happy to work with owners to create a schedule that best fits their dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any special instructions before we begin. During walks, I stay alert, use secure leash handling, avoid unsafe or overcrowded areas, and choose routes that match your dog’s energy level and comfort. In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow feeding or care instructions carefully, and make sure your pet feels calm and secure while you’re away. I’ll make sure to provide updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing!

Nicole took the time to really gauge what Cocoa wanted each day. Some days all she wants is to play or get belly rubs and others she wants a long walk around the neighborhood. She always sent a report on how Cocoa was and what they did and included great pictures of her playing or getting pets. I couldn't recommend Nicole enough!

About: I have had my own dog since I was born, and through this I fell in love with pets. I then started the care end of it on a smaller scale and then improved once I got more clients. I would go to client's house while they were on vacation to take care of their pets, i.e. walking, feeding, bathroom breaks, and entertainment. I would also walk dogs that needed a break in the day while their parents were away at work. I even started my own dog walking business junior year, but I have a small community so it didn't take off. I got a few replies from this, and did the best of my ability to get there in a timely manner. I hope to end up doing it on a bigger scale this summer and gain even more experience with dogs. I am available all day to check in on your pets as frequently as you would like. I just finished a grad school program and am currently looking at applying to others so I wanted the time in between to be filled with work that I really enjoy. I have a great respect for people’s home and personal items. I understand it can be difficult to let a stranger into your home to care for your animal who often means the world to you however I will work hard to make you and your furry friend comfortable!

About: I have many years of experience looking after dogs having taken care of my dog Lexy since we got her 12 years ago, along with helping out with my family’s two dogs in Jordan whenever I visit. Whether it is taking them out on walks, routine feedings and medicine, or just giving them attention and playing with them, I know what it takes to look after a pet. I am currently a student at Boston University and I have a schedule that would allow me to be with pets most of the time throughout that day. I can be around for feedings, walks, and just to give them the attention they need. I live in a spacious apartment near a park in an animal friendly building. I will be able to cater to pets needs as they come.

About: I've grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. From tiny puppies to large lovable seniors, I've been around them all! I'll treat your pup with lots of scritches, belly rubs, and love like they're my own, all while maintaining the level of discipline you keep in your home. I'm comfortable walking on a leash, taking them to a dog park, or just hanging around at home watching whatever is on TV. Dogs are a comforting presence for me, and I'm eager to take care of yours. I'm currently unemployed and am job hunting as we speak, so my schedule is wide open! Whenever you need a caring, watchful eye over your pup, I'll be there. I live by a park, so if I'm dayboarding, there's easy access to green space. If I'm dog walking or dog sitting, I'll follow your lead. You know your pup best, so whatever rules or expectations you have, I'll ensure they're followed and maintained.

About: I have a dog and a cat and I have never met an animal I didn't get along with! I raised my dog from being a puppy and watched him grow into my senior boy! I also have experience living with and caring for a variety of dogs, all the way down to a tiny 6 pound dachshund. I also have plenty of cat experience and have cared for and lived with many of those as well :) I emphasise patience and respect. I typically work from 4-late so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend mid-day for a walk or home visit. For in home visits I will respect and adhere to any rules or specifications you lay out for your pet. For walks I will adhere to any specific route you would like us to take or area of the city you would like us to stay in.

About: While I am new to these services professionally, I grew up with 4 small dogs (all at once!) and have lots of experience with senior and disabled dogs. Most comfortable with small to medium sized. Starting April 25th, I am completely free for services at almost any time of day! This is my free summer time as a student, but my schedule will change stating July when I begin work. I will update my calendar accordingly! I am always attentive to needs or concerns. I have a 650 sq ft apartment with plenty of parks and places for walking nearby. No crates, no other roommates but I stay home most of the day.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog walker and sitter based in Back Bay. I love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether that’s going on long neighborhood walks, providing attentive drop-in care, or keeping your pup comfortable and happy while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I always treat every dog like they’re my own - making sure they get attention, exercise and affection. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect, keep everything tidy, and provide regular updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

If you’re looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter, Cynthia is the one! She helped me out when I was in a tight scheduling situation and was able to fit me in on short notice. Milo was a little grumpy at first because he hadn’t seen her in a while, but Cynthia was patient, understanding, and somehow won him over. She handled everything with care and professionalism. She even came back the next day to walk Milo for me, which I greatly appreciated. I am so grateful for Cynthia’s services and the peace of mind she provided. She is reliable, kind, and truly cares about the pets she works with. I will absolutely continue to use her services in the future. Highly recommend! 😘

Mochi can be reactive when she gets too close to certain triggers, such as birds or other dogs, but Kayla follows our walker’s guide carefully and handles her with patience and confidence.
