About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life. From a very young age, I’ve felt a strong sense of empathy toward them, and I think that love for animals definitely runs in my family. I grew up around people who have always treated pets as part of the family, and that shaped the way I see and interact with animals today. I’ve learned to notice the little things — their body language, moods, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m especially patient with pets who are shy or need a little more time to feel comfortable around someone new. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their person is away. As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and longer periods of pet sitting, including on many weekends. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m always happy to make room for it in my routine. I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and try to keep each pet’s usual routine as consistent as possible. I pay attention to their behavior and comfort level, respect their boundaries, and make sure they have a safe and calm environment. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Kayla is wonderful! Very detail oriented, caring, sweet and Benji loved her! She was very patient with me explaining all of Benji’s routine and was very diligent about following all of it. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have had pets (dogs and cats) my whole life and love being around them. I am a graduate nursing student hoping to spend time with your pets and help however I can! I am currently a Nurse Practicioner graduate student looking to spend time with some animals while not in class. I am excited to help out as much as I can! I am respectful of people's homes and routines for their animals. I love to be outside and will make sure your pet gets exercise. I live in a safe and walkable neighborhood.
“Rachel was a huge help when I was out of town for the weekend, walking and feeding my girl who has some behavioral issues. She was communicative, kind, and most of all - great with my pup! Thanks for everything and will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and have taken care of them all my life. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I enjoy walking and looking after dogs! I have no class two days a week and miss walking my family’s dogs back home in Seattle. I would love to walk yours and hang out with them. I look after my family’s two dogs often and walk and feed them. They are energetic, so I am used to that in dogs. I have experience with chill dogs and very energetic ones.
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. I have had a dog since I was 6 years old and I have additional volunteer experience. I volunteered with the Canine Healing Project, a non-profit which trains and cares for rescue dogs. I have also volunteered in a doggy daycare and at humane societies. I even have experience with caring for horses, so large dogs are no problem for me! I recently moved to the Boston area to attend graduate school which will start in September. I’m looking to make some extra cash and spend some quality time with animals before school begins! I am very flexible throughout August. I prefer some notice with bookings, but I may be able to make some same-day bookings work. My schedule will become busier in September, but please reach out and I will see what I can do for you! Since I recently moved away from home, I am missing my dog, Louie! I look forward to caring for your pet and will treat him/her as my own. My approach with animals is gentle and respectful. From my experience working with rescue dogs, I am used to working with pets who are skittish or defensive. I understand pets may have a hard time trusting a caregiver who is not their owner, so I will strive to make sure they are comfortable. I have found I am good at adapting to each pet’s personality and unique needs. I will reach out to you prior to booking with questions about your preferences in pet care. I will also reach out prior to discuss expectations for entering your home to ensure we are on the same page before the first booking.
About: I’m a dog owner and animal lover with hands-on experience caring for and walking dogs.

I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime on both weekdays and weekends, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. I keep dogs securely leashed during walks, stay attentive to their surroundings, and make sure doors and gates are properly secured. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I’m an experienced and loving dog sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a lifelong dog lover and dog mom myself, I understand that your pup is family—and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs through regular sitting, walks, overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and keeping them comfortable in their owners’ absence. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, laid-back and cuddly, or a little shy and need extra time to warm up. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands! My schedule is dedicated toward pet sitting. I will spend the day with the pups. We usually go to the dog park twice daily along with an early morning walk. I allow the dogs to free roam my space. They are welcome on the couch and bed. There are several rooms for separation if needed.
“Rowan is the best. We have been so impressed with their consistency, reliability, and care for our dog. They leave great reports after walks, and are so loving with our beloved pup. Cannot recommend them enough.”
“Alicia did a great job doing lunch time walks for a week on short notice. She was communicative, on time, and handled our rescue pup’s needs and tricky walking style extremely well! Would definitely hire again, and enthusiastically recommend.”
About: Growing up, I gained experience in caring for my many animal companions. I prioritize building a deep connection with each pet alongside the basic feeding and walking, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and cherished in my care. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, but would love to give some love to yours. I am an undergraduate at Northeastern University but otherwise can set aside time to care for your pets! I am available at select times during the week and my weekends are completely free. Feel free to reach out! I am dedicated to providing your pets with a safe and fulfilling service, with the guarantee that they will be in good hands. I understand your trust and their safety is the utmost priority.

We’ve had such a great experience with Jonathan! He is reliable, caring, and attentive, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pup is in such good hands. It’s clear how much he cares about the pets he works with and we’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend!
Alissa took excellent care of Pico while we were out of town. She was very communicative, and made sure she had proper care instructions before her first walk. She provided great details after each walk, and took lots of pictures! Pico clearly loved spending time with her. We would definitely book again in the future!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
