“Chelsea is OUTSTANDING!! Communicative, patient, timely, reliable, and amazing with dogs. She took such great care of my anxious pup, can’t recommend more highly!!”
“Yasmin has been amazing! She has been walking Lemon for about a month now and she has been very responsible and communicative. She has also been flexible and willing to help when we need a change in the schedule. I highly recommend Yasmin for your pet needs.”
“Liza was incredibly responsive and responsible. She came by for a meet and greet, and was really good with our large, not so well trained lab. She always texted us and gave a thorough review of each walk. Super reliable and will definitely book again!”
About: I have taken care of my own family dog since I was 15 and frequently take care of my boyfriend’s family’s dog when they go on trips for extended periods of time (feeding, walking, play time). I love going on walks with dogs and would also love to meet some very talented biscuit makers! Happy to accommodate you and your lovely pet’s needs! :) I currently am working part time and looking to transition to a different job so I have a lot of time on my hands! I can help out every morning during the week (early riser) and could also do afternoons if you need! I can also plan to help board at mine if you ever need! I can crate your dog if need be at yours and for my apartment I am across the street from a park (will keep on a leash)!
About: Some of my favorite memories are of my sisters and I playing with our dog, Flor. I love animals and will provide a warm, playful and caring place for your dog to stay. I have a light day to day schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available evenings after 5pm, as well as throughout the weekend and on holidays. I have a beautiful large yard for your dog to play in, and live in close proximity to many amazing parks and green areas where your dog can make some friends!

About: Many years of pet care experience for friends and family. I have taken care of dogs with a variety of needs (medications, injuries, etc.) I have worked with puppies and older dogs. I’m currently in school and working a part time job but have plenty of time to stop by and spend time with your pet or stay over and watch them. I have years of experience staying over at client’s houses to watch their pets as well as just stopping by to take care of them. Whatever the client is comfortable with can be arranged.
About: Plenty of experience caring for pets. I'm a responsible and dependable person and have been a pet owner for most of life. Currently pet sitting to save some money for graduate school applications. - 18 years of growing up with 3 dogs, helping walk, feed, and play with them. Helping raise a half a dozen litters born in that time. - 8 years of dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and roommates. Including small dogs, large dogs, and puppies - Can go on long walks, do frequent potty and play breaks, and anything else a dog needs. I currently do research at Harvard Medical School as well act as a research coordinator for Mass General as I prepare for medical school and the MCAT. Most of my work and studying is remote, leaving me with plenty of time to interact with pets and go on walks in the gaps. I can provide a range of services for clients including house visits or house stays, providing frequent attention if needed. I do study and research for a lot of my time, and enjoy taking hourly breaks for 10-15 minutes in which case I can play with, walk, clean, or feed pets.
“Katie has been great with Riker. He's young and has quite a bit of energy, but he's much calmer when we get home thanks to his mid-day walk/playtime with Katie. She lets me know if he got into anything while we were away or if his bathroom habits seem to change. I'm continually rebooking her!”

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 have cared for dogs and cats for friends and family. I always want the best and I understand how hard it is to leave your furry friends alone! I am available afternoons and weekends. I am in school so midday check ins are less available for me but I am always happy to discuss timing! In my home I always make sure my cats have enough water daily and plenty of toys to play with while I am gone. I double check instruction and make sure to capture adorable moments that are sure to happen!
About: My extended family goes on vacation each year for a week and I've pet sat for them for 5 years for 2 small dogs and a bird! I also have 3 cats (1 through high school, now I live alone and have 2 kittens of my own) and frequently pet sit for friends in Boston or go to check up on them if they're out of town I am a server full time so my schedule varies but I am mostly available early morning and night to feed pets if I am working! I have easy access to both car and public transportation and am available to most parts of the city and Greater Boston Area. I live near lots of parks and walkways to go on walks. I have 2 very friendly cats who have lots of toys and energy to share. I'm very attentive to my pets, loving, and know their body language very well.

In his interactions and time looking after my dog and a dog of our mutual friend, he has shown excellent understanding of dog behavior / training, attentive communication with the dog owners, and trustworthiness to respond to unforeseen circumstances.
