Dog Walking in Back Bay-Beacon Hill, Boston, MA

About: Hi, I’m Cody! I recently moved to Boston and am exploring the city one dog walk at a time. I love caring for dogs and would be happy to host your furry friend for boarding. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a weekend stay, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I work from home and can comfortably board your pet or set up a single, or recurring, mid-day walk as my work schedule is fairly flexible. I live in an apartment with a dog park nearby should I board your pet in my home we often go there for fun or I am happy to take your pet out for bathroom breaks, walks, or playing.

“Sean is great! I have two 'velcro dogs' but they happily leave me to go for a walk with him. Super quick replies and very accommodating when scheduling adjustments need to be made. We will continue to use Sean as long as possible!”

About: I really enjoy making each animal I meet feel safe and loved- seeing a pet relaxed gives me a feeling of gratitude! I’ll be sure to adjust my presence to make your pet comfortable, whether that’s playing vigorously with them, gently petting them, or just letting them do their own thing- you can feel safe knowing that I’m also looking to make your pet feel less lonely while you’re away! I also like to draw so it’s a fun way for me to sketch in live time- depending on the situation + there is an opportunity to draw as I’m pet sitting I might show you ;) I recently got laid off so I am actually doing this as a way for me to also get out of the house + have a little bit of furry company as I search for a new job! Because of this, my schedule is quite flexible and I can definitely come help keep your pet company while you’re busy with job, school, vacation, etc. Just let me know a day in advance so I can confirm it on my schedule! I’ve had dogs and cats growing up and I’ve pet sit for my family members, friends, and coworkers multiple times. Each time I make sure to take care of each pet in the way they’re used to/the best way possible. If there is something I have a question about I will reach out and ask so you can be assured that I will communicate if anything happens. I respect the space I’m in and usually don’t interact with the surroundings anyways unless I have to (i.e. leash is in the cabinet, I have to fill up their water, etc.) If I do have to interact with something I make sure to put it back the way it was- if I was asking someone to pet sit I would feel much more comfortable knowing they will be very mindful of my pet/space- so please know that I will be mindful of yours. I really have no desire to leave things a mess, go through your things, steal, neglect your pet in any way, or whatever else you might be scared of! If it helps, we can talk directly about potential concerns and work together to make you feel reassured.

“Megan is simply terrific. She replied immediately to our short notice request and gave Storm all the attention and care we would! I highly recommend her for any dog walker requests and hope she doesn’t become in too high demand (selfishly) for our future needs! Thank you Megan!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for almost ten years, including a dog of my own, friends, family and colleagues' dogs and cats. I am skilled with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and love to spend time with dogs and cats. I am available all days of the week and extremely flexible with time of day because I am currently between full-time jobs. I am available for walks and pet-sitting, including last-minute requests. I am calm and approachable with pets new to me. I am familiar with public dog parks and walking paths. I am also comfortable bringing pups to their favorite spot if it is new to me!

“Great as always! Very communicative, takes great pictures and gets a sometimes stubborn pup on long walks.”

About: i grew up with dogs so they’re all i know! i did part time walking/visits with a variety of breeds for family and friends while in college! i am a online grad student, so i have a lot of flexibility and availability! hanging out with your pup would be the best break from schoolwork:) My apartment complex is very dog friendly, and it is just me at my apartment so they’ll have all the attention! I’ll do everything I can to provide a safe and comfortable place for your 4 legged bestie

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 lived with dogs since I was born, mostly larger breeds (German shepherd, golden retriever, huskies) and now have a cat too! Love animals! I work from 10am-5pm everyday but have most afternoons free and also can help out during the weekend! Can also pop by during lunch if it's a short enough distance! I have experience taking care of friends dogs, both crated and uncrated and can arrange for whatever is best in my apartment! My cat is also very dog friendly but can stay in a separate room if needed.
