“Jaylene came the day after our meet and greet to walk our dog Remi! She was easy to communicate with to make plans and schedule. Jaylene took her time to win over Remi, who can be a little shy and skeptical upon meeting someone new. They went for a walk and Jaylene updated me with everything Remi did. Remi and I look forward to our next booking with Jaylene!”

About: I have grown up with various types of pets for the 20 years of my life. I had two Labradors since I was young, they are not around any more. We have a large yard for plenty of running and playing for any type of dog. We are a big family so there will be someone to play with them. I have pet sat for a friend of my mom for two medium sized dogs for three weeks. I am available on Tuesday mornings because I have class at 6:30 at night and free any time from Thursday through Sunday. According to my sister's weiner dog, I am very good at tug-of-war. We have also extra toys that they can play with here and at home.

About: I have had lots of felines through the years and really love taking care of them. I also love playing with dogs and taking them for long walks. They have lots of energy and love exploring as much as I do. 🐕 I have lots of time to care for and play with your felines, dogs and birds. It is the best time of the year to get outside and explore the area with dogs. We start the day by taking a walk and eating breakfast. Follow the pet's usual walking route unless otherwise instructed. I allow the dog to explore and sniff within safe limits. I provide exercise tailored to the dog's age, breed, and health. I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and people to prevent any potential conflicts.

About: I have love and deep respect for animals, my experience is based on taking care of both dogs and cats and nothing would make me happier than having the opportunity to make income doing what I like. I am willing to take care of any kind of pets, always open to suggestions and to improve every day more. My house does not have a closed yard but I am extremely careful to avoid any incidents, I live near a lake so we can have very pleasant walks. I am at home full time so I can stay with them and give them excellent quality time. Play, time to pee and poop and just walk. My yard is open, I am extremely careful and I always walk on a leash. My Labrador is very playful and loves dog company 😍

“Maria was able to take our pups on walks on very short notice. She is very polite, was always on time and sent lots of pictures. Pups enjoyed their walks and always came back happy and tired! Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 years old. Growing up, I had four dogs at once as family pets. My siblings and I were responsible for taking care of them. Their breeds ranged from English Mastiff, to Great Dane, to Jack Russell Terrier. I especially helped take care of them towards the end of their lives, where care is more challenging. They have since passed, and I now have a 3 year old Lab of my own. Neighbors and family members have always relied on me to take care of their pets while away, and the dogs have always taken a liking to me. I pride myself on having experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes. I promise you’ll dog will be in good hands, as I know the unnerving feeling of leaving your pet with a stranger. As a teacher, I thankfully have the entire summer off. I’m available morning, day, night, and weekends! There is no time that is off limits. I will care for your dog however you request in your home, whether that be left out or crated. They will be walked or played with until their heart’s content!

About: I have had dogs, cats, birds my entire life. I have baby sat my friends dogs and cats, I love caring for animals of all sizes and ages.

And I have two indoor cats that are strictly inside. They get along great with my dog. But we also have plenty of space in the home to keep them separated if needed. All of our pets are healthy and go to the vet regularly. We have a large home with plenty of space for all our fur babies!

I’m also a former Pet Car Technician at K9 Resorts Luxury Dog Hotel of Roxbury. I’ve been house/ pet sitting for years now but just by word of mouth. I’ve dealt with breeds ranging from golden retrievers and labs to rottweilers and pitbulls to chihuahuas and french bulldogs. I believe I am fully capable to properly and lovingly take care of your furry friend(s)! I’m currently working weekend nights at Roxbury Diner. I work 3 pm or 4 pm to 9 pm or 10 pm at night. I am able to take off from work if you need me over the weekend but I need 2 weeks in advance to request off! I care for your furry friends with lots of love. I like to go for walks so I am willing and able to take your pet with me!

We rarely use our front door and go out/in through our garage making sure to close the door before opening ! I am looking to board dogs primarily in my home if it’s over night . Our house is split leveled and although another dog is welcome in the entire house, having the split level is a nice option if the dog needs to be separated .

I prefer that all puppies are crate trained . We do have a crate . I work from home part time am always home or around town!

I have a large fenced in yard which makes for a great space for your dog to run around and play/use the bathroom!

Sophia N.
“I’ve known Sophia for years, and if there’s one thing that’s always been true about her, it’s her love for dogs. She grew up in a home with four dogs and was always the one making sure they were fed, walked, loved, and cared for. Whether it was giving belly rubs, managing medications, or patiently training them, she handled everything with so much responsibility and heart. What really stands out about Sophia is how naturally she connects with every dog she meets. Big, small, shy, energetic—it doesn’t matter. Dogs immediately warm up to her because they can sense how genuine she is. She treats every pup like her own, and you can tell she truly enjoys spending time with them. If you’re looking for someone who’s experienced, reliable, and will love your dog like family, Sophia is it. I’d trust her with any dog, any day.”

Christen D.
“Christen was a wonderful help while my husband and I went away on a trip recently. We had completely forgotten to book a kennel for our pups while we went away (mommy brain!) and she was our saving grace! We immediately felt comfortable with her when we met and knew she would take great care of our two pups. She would send daily updates along with pictures which was great! She was very helpful, accommodating and trustworthy. I would absolutely ask her to help us again and recommend her to anyone who needs someone to help with their fur babies. 10/10.”


Ava F.
“As a pet owner who’s really attached to her pitbull, Ava has really given me peace of mind knowing that she is the most attentive and caring pet sitter/walker. When I’m away I know she’s not just feeding and walking my dog Gigi. She’s observant and will tend to my dogs needs, be it that she wants to play or isn’t feeling well. Ava is knowledgeable and also just great energy to have around. Gigi was in the best care possible.”


Taylor C.
“Taylor has a degree Animal Science from Rutgers University so from biology to care and everything in between it’s clear she knows what she’s doing. Her love and knowledge for and about animals is unmatched. She will treat your pup as her own - walks, play, whatever. You name it, she can do it. I trust her with any child of mine, even human :)”
