Dog Walking Boston

“Jenin was a great communicator and very attentive. Jenin followed directions very well and my dog really appreciated her company. On time and reliable.”

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve had two cats for the past 4 years and have pet sat for friends and family when they’ve needed help. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow whatever routine and instructions help you and your pet feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I work full-time (6am-2pm) as a scientist, so I’m generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My schedule can be flexible though to accommodate for early morning visits. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. I use Rover myself so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable until you’re back. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

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 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.

“Monty is timid with new people but took to Caroline quickly & did a full 30 min walk which never happens!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of both a cat and a dog, so I know firsthand how much love (and attention!) pets need. I genuinely love walking, so, why not bring a furry friend along for the fun? Whether it’s keeping routines consistent, offering extra TLC while you’re away, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like they’re part of the family and pride myself on being reliable, calm, and communicative! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day for pet care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays, whether your pet needs an early morning walk, a midday break, or some company in the evening. Because I work from home, I can be flexible around your pet’s routine and give them the attention they need without rushing. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! Before each visit, I take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any specific instructions you’d like me to follow. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy level, use positive reinforcement, and never force an interaction if they’re feeling nervous or overwhelmed. I’m also very respectful of your home and your pet’s space. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have over 13 years of experience pet sitting! I have experience with day visits and overnights as well as boarding at my apartment. I am trustworthy with animals that have medication regimes. Most of my jobs have been caring for dogs or cats but I also have experience with rabbits and once, a pet rat! Leaving your pup for any amount of time can be stressful on you and them. My main goal is to lessen that stress for both and treat your pup like my own. I currently have an 8 year old lab mix who loves to have dog company! If your pup loves taking walks and endless cuddles, I’m the sitter for you! I currently work from home on Tuesdays and I am off work by 4pm during the week! I am also pretty open on the weekends. I live in a large apartment that allows for a few good runs of fetch. However, I live by many walking paths with great views and a lot of space. My apartment complex also has a designated area outside for walking and the bathroom. All furniture and bed is dog friendly but there is space to bring a crate if preferred! At your home, all house rules will be respected.

“Angie was amazing with my crazy pup!! She was very communicative and kind! My dog got a great walk! Highly recommend Angie for your pet care needs!”

“Can’t say enough good things about Yulia. She is so sweet and you can see how much she loves animals. She was very kind to our yellow lab who sometimes gets anxious and stubborn. She made sure he was well taken care of, that he got good exercise, and potty breaks. She sent lots of photos which evidenced how much fun Dempsey had while in her care. Highly recommended!”

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.

“Elliot was thoughtful about the hot weather and took great care of River on his walk, giving him water during and after. I got great updates and trusted he could pick up & drop off while we were away from the house.”

Tess C.

“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”

Amory W.

“Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!”

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.

“Olivia was really professional and everything went well , we recommend her as well for other pet lovers and we will be sure book her with another occasion.”

About: I grew up with cats, and currently have one now. I am a big cat-lover, and am happy to check-in on, watch, feed, and play with your cat(s) while you are away. Whether your cat is anxious, shy, energetic, etc., I am happy to be there for them however I can, and fulfill your/their needs to the best of my ability. I also love dogs! Although I did not grow up with a dog, I have extended family members + friends whose dogs I have cared for regularly. I am happy to provide whatever care your dog needs - whether it’s walk(s), meals, playtime, companionship, etc. I can ensure they will be under thorough, considerate, and loving care! I am very reliable, patient, thorough, and respectful, and am happy to provide updates during visits. I am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand if you’d like. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or if you are looking for a sitter! :) I am pre-med and my schedule is currently pretty open/available since I recently left my full-time healthcare job in search for part-time while I study for the MCAT for medical school. I am flexible and am happy to accommodate you and your schedule as best I can. I am very reliable and communicative. I will arrive on-time (i.e. your preferred time(s)) to care for your pet(s) and will ensure that they are well cared for. I will be respectful of your instructions, and of your home. I am not offering pet-sitting services in my own home.

“Piper is literally the best and knows/loves all things dog! I can’t already tell that we are lucky to have our paths cross with her and can’t wait to work together more in the future!”

About: For the last 5 years my Sphinx cat Miso has joined me on my adventures in LA, NYC, and our new home in Beacon Hill. But Miso is not my first pet. I grew with my three sisters, Mom, Dad, and 6 bulldogs, a Great Dane, a bull terrier, an adopted cat, and a bunny. I am familiar with dogs that require special care and comfortable with larger dogs. I am active and love exploring the city via walking and jogging and your dog would be great company. Excited to meet your fur baby :) My schedule is flexible. I make my own schedule and I can adjust as needed.I am available weekdays (Monday- Friday) and weekends (Saturday and Sunday). I I make sure to have all required instructions before caring for you pet and follow all directions given prior and/or during the meet and great. Every visit I send pictures and updates of your pet.
