“Adela is amazing!! She took the best care of my 3 month old Havapoo for 2 days in a row - lots of walks and playing! She sent me tons of updates and pictures, which I so appreciate having a new puppy. I will be using her again and I know that will make my pup Henry so happy :)”
“Nicholas took great care of my puppy. They went on lots of adventures. He kept me informed about any mishaps. Penny is still a baby and is training. Nicholas was very understanding and patient. I trust that my pup was in good care and would recommend watching my pup again.”
“Jim is extremely responsive and flexible and made me feel at ease. My dog primarily has spent every day with me during the pandemic so it is sometimes hard when we separate. He kept me updated with my dog’s day and sent a video for check-in. Thanks Jim!”
“Emma was a lifesaver! We needed to book hour of and Emma responded right away. We were not aware our Airbnb did not permit pets to stay unsupervised, we were only in Boston for the day and needed to find daycare in a hurry. Emma was responsive, kind and took great care of our dog. Super appreciative and highly recommend if in the area:)”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animal care. Having cared for dogs since I was 13, I bring years of hands-on knowledge, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with special needs. I’ve managed dogs requiring medication, and I’m attentive to those with mobility, hearing, or vision challenges. My time helping raise my roommate’s dog included daily walks, feedings, and nurturing companionship, which deepened my understanding of canine behavior and well-being. With me, your pet will receive personalized care, love, and attention, just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine as I work from home in my apartment in South End, allowing me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. My role has a fairly flexible schedule, enabling me to accommodate walks, feeding, and playtime at times that suit your pet’s needs. In my home, I can provide a calm and pet-focused environment with playtime with my golden retriever, Benny. Since my partner is allergic to cats, we only offer dog-sitting. While we do not have a fenced in yard, we live near a popular dog park. I have enjoyed taking dogs there for exercise, socialization, and playtime, making it a favorite spot for the dogs I’ve cared for. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize their happiness, comfort, and well-being with personalized attention and care.
“Anastasia was amazing!! Visiting Boston for my bday Nervous to leave our puppy but she was so incredible with Bella and sent us updates all day! Thank you!”
“Lauren was amazing! She was super communicative, kind, and took great care of my dog. I felt completely at ease, and my pup came back happy and relaxed. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had many dogs over the years and have helped take care of friends’ and family members’ pets as well. I’m comfortable with different breeds and routines. I recently moved to Boston with my partner and we are getting settled before getting another dog, so pet sitting has been a great way for me to still spend time with dogs and give them great care. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can provide walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship throughout the day, including weekdays and weekends. I keep a calm, clean, and safe space and stick closely to each pet’s routine. I live right across from the Common, so there are plenty of great spots for walks. I’m careful on walks and always focused on your pet’s comfort and safety.
“Julia took great care of my new puppy. She kept me updated on how things were going. Julia is extremely patient as my new puppy is still potty training. She made sure to take her out frequently. Already booked another puppy watch with her so I’m confident that she does a great job with my fur baby”
About: I carry lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had pets since I was 4 years old and have cared for puppies, kittens, and senior dogs including my own so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. Keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved while you’re away isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy and take pride in. I’m a second-year business student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to offer morning availability during the week and open availability on weekends. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, and I genuinely love starting my day spending time with animals. I’m so grateful I get to combine my love for pets with helping others feel at ease while they’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own—if not more, because I take the responsibility seriously. I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience pet sitting for family friends in both Mexico and the U.S. I believe walks and outdoor time are essential for a pet’s physical health and overall happiness, so I make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also live in a modern, pet-friendly apartment with green spaces and relief stations, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to feel happy and at home.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and having my own dog since I was 12 made them a big part of my life growing up. Being away from home for college means I really miss my dog, which is one of the reasons I enjoy dog-sitting so much, it lets me spend time caring for and bonding with dogs while giving them the attention they deserve. Over the past three years in Boston, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and families who trust me because I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on maintaining each dog’s routine and comfort. I’m currently a senior in college with classes mainly in the mornings, so I’m home and available for most of the day. This schedule allows me to prioritize pet care, stick to routines, and provide consistent supervision and attention. When dogs stay with me, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their usual schedule as closely as possible. Dogs are never left alone for more than four hours, and I send daily updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My apartment also has a dog park amenity, which makes potty breaks and outdoor time easy, safe, and convenient
“Stephanie was great! Super accommodating for a late notice booking. Fergus was well taken care of and had an amazing time with her pup! He is happy and had a great day care experience!”
“Sophie was great with Georgia. When i picked Georgia up she kept looking back and wanted to play with Sophie some more. Great communication as well. Will definitely use again.”
“Emily and Robbie were great! Really responsive, sent a lot of photos, really made my dog feel comfortable and at home. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Jia truly helped me out with my brand new rescue pup. She was very responsive and communicative. Also extremely patient as my pup is still learning to potty train. Would trust her again.”
“She took great care of my Amelia with lots of pics and videos and walks and spoiling. She looked like she was having a blast so I wasn't worried about her in the least! I definitely recommend Tiffany for overnights (and everything else but overnights is what I booked her for).”
“I had an excellent experience with our Jayden. She was available to help my dog and I during a snow storm and I had to go to work! My dog Jack was well cared for and she helped to ease my mind! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog made himself right at home with her and cried when he was dropped off which means he missed her already and had a great time! I really appreciate the updates and peace of mind knowing my dog is in safe, attentive hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

Anastasia was amazing with my Darla. We were visiting Boston from NJ and I chose Anastasia based on her reviews. She is extremely kind and loving. Anastasia lives very close to the convention center and near lots of sight seeing and shopping so she is the perfect sitter if you are traveling with your pet and need a sitter for a few hours so you can visit tourist spots that aren't pet friendly. I can guarantee you your pet is in loving safe hands with Anastasia. She responds to messages quickly and sends photo updates of your pet. Thank you Anastasia!!!! xoxo
Michael was responsive, flexible with drop off and pick up, and very friendly. He gave my dog multiple walks, sent beautiful pictures and updates of him showing that he had a good time in his care. Will certainly like to book him again, thanks Michael!
I’m so happy we found Ruya and Ayberk for doggie day care. My dog was a little fussy at drop off and they helped him calm down and feel at home quickly. They shared several sweet pictures playing and snuggling with him throughout the day and were so friendly at pick up and drop off. We will certainly book with them again!
Michelle did a great job providing a day of daycare for my dog. She is very easy to work with and responds to messages quickly. I greatly appreciated her flexibility with my adjustments to both the dropoff and pickup times. Most importantly, my dog was happy and comfortable going with her after our initial meet and greet. I'm pleased to have found Michelle and will definitely keep her in mind for future daycare needs.
Dayquan is the best. Works at home, easy going and loves dogs. He and his sweet lab live in a complex that has a dog park and plenty of walking areas. Dayquan sends lots of pictures during the day which is so nice! Our dog has epilepsy and Dayquan is not intimidated by this. He’s willing to love and manage a dog on meds who could have a seizure at any time.
Jessica watched Kingsley twice, I missed leaving a review last time but I should this time, as she was excellent. Not only did she accept a request that was only a week ahead of when I needed, but she was so flexible and understanding regarding start time when I was running late. Kingsley was well taken care of both times. I’d certainly recommend her and would totally request in the future. :)
Bianca was SO accommodating of our changing schedule, as well as an early drop off! She sent so many updates throughout the day and sent check in messages that put us at ease, as this was the first time our 4 month old puppy spent a day away from us. We highly recommend Bianca and will gladly use her services again, if she will have us 😊
