“Zilalai is so great with my large husky! She learned the commands he knows and uses them for him. This helps us so much, and him, with sticking with routine. It’s a breath of fresh air to have Zilalai!”
“Alyssa really came through in a pinch when another Rover cancelled last minute. She worked with my pup who was a little hesitant since they hadn’t met. She communicated well, sent pix, and let me know specific details. Thank you!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Emily! Emily has been walking our dog for the past 5 days, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly kind. You can immediately tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. Our pup took to her right away, which says everything. Emily has been consistent, communicative, and attentive to our dog’s needs and routine. She gives thoughtful updates after walks, which gives me real peace of mind while we’re away. It is such a relief to have someone trustworthy caring for your fur baby, and Emily has absolutely delivered. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely continue using her services. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and amazing with dogs — Emily is the one! 🐕✨”
About: If you're looking for someone who can truly keep up with an active dog, you’ve found the right person. I am an outdoor enthusiast who believes that a tired dog is a happy dog. Living in Allston (02134), I am right in the heart of the action and familiar with all the best local routes, from the Charles River Esplanade and Ringer Park to the Soldiers Field Road Dog Park. Why choose me? - New to Rover, Fully Dedicated: As I am just starting my journey on this platform, I am highly motivated to provide top-tier care and earn your trust through 5-star service. - Fully Mobile & Local: I am very mobile and cover Allston, Brighton, Brookline, and Cambridge. - Maximum Flexibility: Since I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute requests or mid-day walks when your plans change or work runs late. - Tailored Activity: From high-energy runs for athletic pups to slow, mindful strolls for senior dogs, I adjust every session to your pet's specific age, health, and energy level. Cat Care & Drop-In Visits When I’m not out on the trails, I’m a dedicated cat lover. I have extensive experience with feeding schedules, play habits, and specialized care. I am punctual, reliable, and will ensure your home stays exactly how you left it. I’m excited to meet my new furry neighbors in the area. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to schedule a quick, free meet-and-greet to see if we’re a perfect match! - Monday – Friday: I specialize in the mid-day window (11 AM – 2 PM). This is the core part of my weekday routine, dedicated to giving your pets a much needed break, fresh air, and exercise while you are at work or in classes. - Weekends: My schedule is fully flexible. Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or just need extra coverage, I can typically accommodate any time that works for you. - Local & Responsive: Since I live right here in Allston, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. This allows me to be very punctual and often available for last-minute requests or short-notice drop-ins. - Whether in your home or on a walk, your pet’s safety and emotional well being are my top priorities. I treat every animal with the same level of care I’ve given to my family’s and friends' pets for years. - Routine & Comfort: I strictly follow your established routines (feeding, exercise, medication) to minimize stress for your pet while you're away. - Active Supervision: During walks, I am always alert to our surroundings, ensuring we stay on safe paths and maintain a respectful distance from other animals to avoid any unpredictable situations. - Home Security: I take your trust seriously. I am very attentive to home security and will always double check that all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked and the alarm (if applicable) is set before I leave. - Clear Communication: I love sending quick photo updates or a short message after each visit so you can see that your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Conor was great! He should up a few minutes before the scheduled walk. He communicated well and my high-energy pup was able to get a good long walk! I would definitely book with Conor again!”
“Andreas warmed up to her immediately and loves his daily walk with Nhu Theiu! She’s also very responsive, communicative and reliable every time I’ve needed her. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“So thankful that Kelly was able to take care of my pup for a few days while away for the weekend! It makes me feel better knowing she’s in a calm and secure environment with Kelly instead of in daycare/boarding. And great to see lots of pics of her hanging out with Kelly and her dog, Lemon. Thanks again!”
“Sydney is absolutely great with our dog Jack! She’s always on time, provides updates, and genuinely enjoys her time with him. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for dog walking services!”
“Yeojin walked my very large (80 lbs) and energetic puppy over New Years weekend and he was very well taken care of. Each day he was very happy and content when I returned from work. Would highly recommend Yeojin as a dog walker.”
“I had an amazing experience with Natalia watching my dog, Nutella! She was incredibly reliable, even braving a snowstorm to be prompt for her walks. My mom, who was staying at my place, mentioned that Nutella was always excited to see Natalia every time she arrived for a walk, which says a lot about how great their connection was. It was clear that Natalia truly cared for Nutella’s well-being and kept me updated with everything. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving dog sitter!”
About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.
“Dante is always wonderful and gives us detail about how Knox did. Also our faucet broke when he was there (not his fault second time our landlord needs to fix) and he went out and bought bottled water to make sure he could refill Knox! Such a gem!”
“Maegan took such good care of our pup! She was sick this week, and we were devastated to have to leave her. But Maegan was sweet to her and made us feel so much better. We really appreciate her!!!”
“Polina is absolutely fantastic! She is very easy to communicate with, always very quick with response, extremely flexible with scheduling, and wonderful with my dogs, sending lots of pictures every walk. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in great hands. I will definitely ask her to help with dog walking again very soon and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring walker.”
About: I have been an animal lover in my whole life growing up. I had a white cocker spaniel named Rainbow (that was the first thing I thought of when I got him as a five-year-old). she sparked a lifelong love for pets since then I’ve carried for cats and dogs of many friends and family members. I am currently a full-time student. I am able to have drop in visits on the weekends and also some time during the week. I can do doggy day care during the weekends and a few days during the week as well. I am able to on-board depending on a few factors and house sit. I do live in an apartment with a few other roommates who can help take care and provide services. There is a park near where I live which I can take them too.
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced pet sitter with over 4 years of hands-on work caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of small animals. I grew up surrounded by pets—rabbits, snails, cats, and many others—which taught me early on how to understand and care for different animal personalities and needs. Today, I live in a stable, pet-friendly home with one well-socialized ragdoll cat who is friendly and relaxed around other animals. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and at home. 🌟 What Your Pet Can Expect One pet at a time — Your pet receives my full attention and care A clean, calm, comfortable home perfect for overnight stays Weather permitting, fun outings to dog parks and local beaches A friendly resident cat who enjoys company but is respectful of other pets’ space Your pet will enjoy a peaceful, stress-free environment with plenty of affection, playtime, and individualized attention. Whether they’re energetic and adventurous or shy and sensitive, I always adapt to their needs to make their stay feel like a home away from home. I follow your routines and house rules so your pet feels secure, I always use their own bowls, beds, and toys for comfort, and I can handle special needs like meds, senior support, or post-surgery care. Litter boxes and habitats are cleaned daily, and you’ll get plenty of photo and video updates so you never miss their best moments.

Megan is the best! She took such good care of Benny while we were away and Benny loves her. Megan is so responsible, trustworthy and we feel so incredibly lucky that we found her. I will arrange our vacation schedule around her schedule just to make sure that she will be the one to take care of Benny while we travel! Thanks Megan!
Although it was her first time meeting Terry, she handled him with ease and took him on a great walk. She made sure he was comfortable by taking short breaks and offering him water when needed. She communicated with me throughout the visit, asked if there was anything else Terry might need, and followed all of my requests. I really appreciated her care and attention to detail.
Jacob was fantastic with our dog Maple! He was able to accommodate two walks for us on short notice. He was punctual, followed all instructions given, and sent us cute photos of Maple. He also seemed very experienced and knowledgeable with taking care of pets. Would definitely recommend Jacob to others and will book him again!
Taryn was absolutely wonderful! I needed a last-minute walker and she came through without hesitation. She was communicative, punctual, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I'll definitely be booking Taryn again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker!
Sunny, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for Tango.

You have been wonderful. We wish you the very best in this new chapter, with success, good health, and happiness for you and your loved ones. You will always have a special place in Tango’s story and in our hearts. Marcos, Silvina and Tango
