About: My entire life I’ve taken care of dogs; in addition to experience growing up with family pets, both big & small, older and puppies, I also worked as a PetSmart pet hotel night staffer - feeding, walking, and keeping an eye on all pets the entire evening. I also gained valuable experience in college owning my own dog, ensuring I was always available for walks, playtime, and pets constantly throughout the day. I work full-time as a Food & Beverage Manager at hotels in Boston, but my schedule changes every week and I am looking to get more dogs in my life on a day-to-day basis. A little extra cash is helpful, but most importantly I would love to have more dogs in my life 🙂 I have an apartment in a building that is incredibly pet-friendly. I also live directly above a veterinarian as an added bonus. I also have a car and scooter and would happily go to any clients’ home.
About: I grew up with 2 amazing dogs (labradoodle and border terrier) and I took care of them daily. I would also take care of friends’ dogs frequently. I have experience with young and old dogs. I love hanging out with dogs and getting to know them! I work from home and I have a flexible schedule. I can work out a pet care schedule that fits most people’s needs. Just contact me and I’m sure we can figure it out. I always listen to the owner’s requests and follow them carefully. A dog deserves to treated well and with respect. The owner knows best, so I will always follow your guidance.
“Maria is thoughtful and very kind. I appreciate the peace of mind and care she provides our pups while we are away and she keeps us in the loop and we love how much she cares! Thank you Maria”
About: I've been working full time as veterinary technician for about 4 years. I have both Fear Free and CPR certifications, and am able to administer injectable medications and provide treatments such as subcutaneous fluids, ear cleanings, and applying topical, ear and eye medications. I have experience with handling and caring for exotic pets such as rabbits, ferrets, snakes, rats, bearded dragons and more. In my personal life, I have been caring for my family's dogs from a young age, and often care for friend's pets when they are out of town. In September I will be working part-time and taking classes in the evening. I will be available every weekday morning after 9 am except Fridays. I will have class from 5:30-9 pm on Mondays, and class from 5:30 - 10 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am free weekends all day. I have experience with caring for friend's cats and dogs, both in the capacity of stopping by once a day, or staying at their place to provide full-time care and company. I would be happy to spend time with your baby, and would be able to set time aside to play with them, go on medium-length walks, and take them outside to relieve themselves. Any medications or treatments that your pet needs, I can administer to them.

Samuel E.
“Sam is a caretaker. He made sure that the fraternity dog was properly cared for. The vet said she was the happiest and healthiest frat dog that he had ever seen. Sam was the overnight caretaker in a Pet Smart and he was particularly in tune with every dog’s need. At home he was the first to notice when one of our dogs was not well. He checks on the dogs water bowl as soon as he walks in the door. Dogs have an affinity to him and he to them .He brought the dog snack jar to the hotel where he works. The dogs are customers as well. I would trust Sam with any dog - he loves them and cares for them and sees their needs. Theresa Eichenwald”

Paula E.
“Paula Evangelista has a special gift in caring for and bonding with dogs. She’s provided expert dog walking services for our two dogs over the past 2 years. Happily, EVERY TIME the dogs see her, they’re noticeably enthusiastic and excited. Each dog adores her outgoing personality coupled with her attentiveness to their needs — walking, feeding and playing. She has a true gift for linking with a dog’s individual personality. Paula has been providing outstanding pet caregiving services for our very ‘spoiled’ and pampered dogs for two years. Highly recommend!!”
Angelina C.
“Angelina has loved animals her whole life, growing up with a dog, three cats, and two bunnies. She learned at a young age the dedication and hard work it takes to give a pet a long, healthy, and happy life. As a pet owner herself she gives her pets the most love and care, they are truly lucky animals. She keeps a clean and healthy environment for them and is extremely intuitive and diligent when it comes to animal care. She is one of those people that is known for her love of animals, kindness and fondness for all animals and would be a great choice for caregiving of others pets.”

Brookline dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lia always takes great care of our senior dog, who is not the easiest to deal with at times. Lia is reliable and responsive and we are happy to have someone to help us out when we need to go out of town without our dog. She’s helped us out on short notice a few times.
Sophia is EXCELLENT in all respects. She is very conscientious and amazing with dogs. She went above and beyond for us, addressing challenging issues in real time and responding flexibly when situations and needs changed. We are so grateful to have her caring for our dog!
Katie was very responsive to meet up on short notice. We had a great meeting with Lou for future sitting opportunities. Katie was easy going, super friendly and transparent about her experiences with dog and cat care in people's homes. Katie was very forthcoming about her approach and very forward thinking about caring for Lou, asking many important questions and checking in on specifics to accommodate Lou and his needs. Katie's approach to pet care is very genuine and connected to the experience of the individual pet and owner- this is much appreciated. We look forward to working with Katie and would recommend her again as our current dog walker has to us.
Sophia is so great at taking care of your pets! My dog loves when she comes over and hangs with him. She is super thoughtful in making sure he goes out enough, drinks plenty of water, and has enough play time before leaving. She takes the best pictures and I know how happy my pup is with her. I highly recommend Sophia in caring for your pets!!!
Claire was great! I was a little nervous about leaving our bunnies, but she came and did a meet and greet so we felt really comfortable and she was really understanding about our concerns. Claire left great updates so we could relax and enjoy our time away. Everything went great!
