“Did such a great job with our dog - great walks and fun write ups and pictures, and was always flexible and great at communicating. Would definitely work with her again!”
“My pup loved her walks with Max. He was prompt and we could count on him and have rebooked for our next trip.”
“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”
“Iryna was fantastic. She was great at communicating, and Waffles had a great time with her. I never thought I would need a dog walker, but I am injured, and she was a lifesaver.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—starting with the family dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters I grew up with. Over the past 20 years, I’ve provided trusted pet care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and currently live with a much-loved cat. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. Whether it’s a senior dog needing extra support, a shy cat who takes time to warm up, or a high-energy pup who needs structure and play, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also experienced with basic puppy training and feel comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every pet like family—with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail—because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience. In your home, I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. If pets are in my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re never left alone for long and always treated like part of the family. --- ### My Pet Care Expertise My life has always been deeply intertwined with animals. From chattering birds and curious hamsters to graceful fish, independent cats, and loyal dogs of all sizes, I've had the joy of growing up with a diverse range of beloved family pets. This lifelong immersion in animal companionship, including personally owning both small and large dogs alongside my current cat, has given me invaluable insight into their unique personalities and needs. Today, my passion for pets continues through the routine care I provide for our **neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats**. This hands-on, consistent experience means I'm adept at maintaining routines, understanding different temperaments, and ensuring every furry guest feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved in a family environment. You can trust that your pet's well-being is my absolute priority. ---
“Michelle was wonderful walking our dog Rosie! Rosie is a nervous pup but Michelle’s calm and friendly demeanor put everyone at ease. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Isabella! I work remote so I'm home all day for belly rubs, potty breaks, and playtime. With 15+ of experience around animals, I know how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, happy, and loved - whether that means sticking to their routine, going for outdoor adventures, or providing extra cuddles. I know it can be stressful to be away from your pet, so I promise to send lots of updates and cute photos while you're away! Since I work fully remote, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I love taking breaks for walks, playtime, and snuggles, and I'm always available for mid-day potty breaks, check-ins, and zoomies. In my home, pets get a comfy, safe and supervised environment with plenty of attention. I keep things clean and cozy. In your home, it's completely up to you! I'll follow your instructions - whether that means maintaining routine or sticking to a preferred walking route. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and stress-free while you're away!
“Willa very much enjoyed her week with Stacy! Stacy is very sweet and charismatic. Wild Willa Wafer enjoyed being able to get in some midday exercise with her!”
About: Back in my college days, I worked in a dog daycare with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. Before Rover, I mostly pet sat for my friends and family. In addition, I have 14 of experience caring for my own dogs. I understand the struggles that come with leaving your pet with a stranger so please rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of. I will always treat your fur baby with lots of love and kindness and adhere to your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently work a 9-5 at a hospital. I have the flexibility to work from home 3x a week so I’m able to do drop ins and walks on those days. In addition, I am available most weekends and holidays. It is always helpful to have written instructions on how to care for your pet. For example, activities they enjoy most, things they absolutely hate, or undesirable behaviors to look for. Let me know their daily routines so I can do my best to make they feel like they’re with family and not just some stranger.
“Dominique was great with Bear! He accommodated Bear’s grumpiness and was attentive to my concerns! He went above and beyond! Highly recommend him as your walker!”
“Emma was great with my dog - she came back from her walk excited and happy!”
“Best of the best!”
“Diego is great with our puppy on his weekly walk with her! We feel comfortable knowing he's checking in on her while we're away and his communication is great. We tried other services before finding Diego, but they didn't walk the full time and left our dog feeling anxious. Now, she's happy and calm when we come home!”
“Brittany walked my dog Karuna every afternoon during a busy work week for me. She was very communicative and shared details from every walk. I’m grateful for the attention she gave Karuna and Karuna is very thankful for all the belly rubs!”
About: I absolutely love animals and I currently have a 9 year old Carolina dog named Zara. Growing up I've had all different types of dogs generally larger ones but I have also taken care of smaller dogs and cats for family and friends. I am also used to dogs of different temperaments and have experience with dogs that are reactive to other dogs. I am available on weekends for walks and drop ins and I can give your pets lots of attention and care! I can’t wait to meet them. I like to treat all of the pets as if they are my own making sure they are well take care of during walks and drop in visits.
About: Dogs enjoy sports as much as me. Hence I can be a duo for them at parks with sports facilities. I can be good quick and they can be wide receiver I am available during weekdays from 9am to 2pm. I can respond all the messages prior to 1 hour. I am very close to Quincy Park I am completely ready to act according to a dog’s needs. Whether it’s my home or not, I can be coherent with dog’s general habits

“Sam was awesome with my dog and I will definitely be booking with him again. He follows any directions diligently and takes great care of my pup on their walks.”
