“Rosie has been walking my Finley for a while now. He’s reactive with high anxiety which makes coming in and out of a 30 floor apartment building challenging. She communicated her experiences with me and we work through them. She’s my go to call when I have plans and want him to have company. She’s been great all around.”


“Stephanie walked my dog once a day for 5 days while I was traveling. She was punctual, easy to communicate with and great with our dog. I look forward to working with her again! Thank you Stephanie”


“Katherine was a wonderful dog walker, she took so many great photos of Ricki and had a lot of great notes for each walk! I would definitely book her again for Ricki!”


“Thomas is such a gem!!! Book him! He’s punctual, communicates well, and is patient. My dog Cairo is not everyone’s ’cup of tea’ (not that I care, since I love him) but he’s vocal at times from excitement and has high energy as a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. Thomas arrived on time, and took Cairo on an hour long dog walk. Although it was 80+ degree humid weather with no breeze, he did it with a smile on his face. Moving forward, whenever I need a walker for Cairo (most likely 1x weekly), I will contact Thomas to check his availability. And next time Thomas, I’ll have a nice cold unopened bottled water for you. Thomas, thank you for bonding with Cairo and accepting his high energy level. Not sure if you’re told this enough, but you are absolutely amazing!”


“Umnia has been so sweet with my dog Ladybug! She sends great updates after their walks and has been good about communication. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Ana Christina is fantastic. She clearly loves dogs and is knowledgeable and experienced, and my dog adores her. Ana Chis is also professional, timely, and always responsive. I'd hire her to watch my puppy again in a heartbeat.”


“Katie has been phenomenal! She has been coming to take our dog on walks a couple times a week for the last month or so while we are in the office. She is very communicative, respectful of our instructions and our home, and our dog Frankie loves her. Frankie is a very anxious/fearful dog, and Katie has been so patient and gracious with her as we’ve been transitioning her to new medication. She respects her boundaries and has been helpful in making Frankie feel comfortable and confident. She even gave Frankie her medication after we forgot to one day which was super helpful! Katie is very sweet and the perfect fit for us, we highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog walker.”


About: With 20 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I've had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, including: dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and hamsters. I understand the unique needs of each species, from providing enriching activities for dogs, offering individualized care for cats, to creating safe, stimulating environments for birds, turtles, and hamsters. Whether it's ensuring proper habitat conditions, managing dietary needs, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I approach each pet with a deep understanding of their behavior. I'm committed to fostering the well-being and happiness of every pet I care for, tailoring my services to meet their specific needs and personalities. I've built a flexible and reliable pet care routine that allows me to give your pets the attention and care they deserve without disrupting my own schedule. On a daily basis, I make time for early morning walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring that your pets start their day happy and active. I also structure my evenings to include additional walks or cuddle sessions, and I'm available for drop-in visits throughout the day as needed. On a weekly basis, I plan regular check-ins, grooming sessions, and any other specific care tasks, such as administering medications or cleaning habitats. I will be attentive to your pets' needs without the rush, ensuring they receive the best care and companionship every day. My top priorities are ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being. I create a secure environment by pet-proofing the space, removing potential hazards, and making sure they have room to explore, play, and relax. Trust is key, so I build a strong bond with each pet through consistency, gentle interaction, and routine care. In a client's home, I take extra care to respect their space, keeping everything familiar for their fur babies. Whether in my home or yours, I strive to offer a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where animals feel happy, secure and cared for at all times.

“We got really lucky. Lynne is the best pet caregiver, feeder, walker we have ever met. She fed and walked Gilda and Jaxx, put up with their silliness and was very kind to me after I recently was recovering from surgery. I absolutely recommend her!”


About: Hi everyone! My name is Maddie. I’ve been around my dogs my whole life and I’ve been taking care of dogs since middle school. I had a Portuguese Water Dog growing up, and have always loved volunteering to walk and spend nights with my neighbors’ dogs, as well. In college, I walked dogs for professors and people living in town. I would love nothing more than to help you out with your dog :). I’m responsive and organized, and typically have no issue picking up last-minute requests! I’m working a hybrid clinical research job that has fairly flexible hours, and I love breaking my day up with some fun dog time :). For walks and drop-ins, I will be sure to understand any particular details ahead of time to ensure your dog’s safety. As an athlete, I have no trouble with strong dogs on the leash.

“Meredith was incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and loving with my dog! I had issues with my previous walker with being flaky, but Meredith was proactive in confirming our upcoming walks for the month and took the initiative to make sure Rover reflected our scheduled walks. She was flexible with me when I needed time changes, and Coco absolutely adores her. Could not recommend more!”


“Samantha accommodated a last minute request to walk my dog a few days in a row. She showed up on time and sent photos. I love her post walk updates! Would recommend. Thanks, Samantha =)”


“Carson was amazing to work with and we will definitely book her in the future! It was our first time leaving our very high energy dog in the hands of someone else and it couldn’t have gone better!! Carson was constantly communicating with us, easy to reach, and was as kind as can be. Our dog definitely enjoyed his time with her because he was always so sleepy when we got home to see him. We loved all the pictures Carson took and sent to us, was a truly nice touch. Thank you so much Carson, we are so appreciative of you 😊”


About: I've been taking care of dogs for two years now. I personally have a black lab as well. I'm happy to take your dog on a walk, keep them company, or play with them! I'm currently working on a hybrid schedule so every week my availability differs. If I'm at home I can take care of your dog as needed. But I'm always available after 6pm on weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced yard, but if I'm at your location I will give them my full attention. I live in a residential area with lots of friendly dogs nearby, and good safe spaces for walking.

“Darby stepped in to walk our dog when something came up last minute, and we couldn’t have been more grateful! She was flexible, communicative, and really attentive to our dogs (and cats) needs! We’re so happy we already booked her for another weekend!”

“Being an animal lover and dog owner herself, Emily will take great care of your pets. She is respectful, responsible and will treat your animals as her own. She has house sat for me and taken care of my cats and dog when I was out of town. She sent me updates to put me at ease and left everything in the condition it was before I left. Hire Emily to walk your dog or care for your pets and know they’re in good hands!”

Madeline S.Star Sitter
“Maddie is an extremely kind and thoughtful person already, but that gets exponentially scaled when she's interacting with dogs. Having been around here for multiple dog walks/pet sitting experiences she completed while we were in college she is super sweet to animals, very patient, and enjoys hanging with them and going for walks like no other. She's a very active person so taking a pet for a longer walk is no issue for her and her extreme organization makes planning around pet sitting a breeze. If I had a dog and I was looking for someone to help take care of them Maddie would be the first person I called.”

She herself has raised her black lab from puppyhood to adulthood, she understands the care, dedication, and attention to detail needed when it comes to taking care of dogs. From dog walking, feeding, making sure to pick up after the dogs, and making sure to notice any signs of sickness, anxiety, or nervousness, she makes sure her dogs are always comfortable and happy.”

Mid-Cambridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nathaniel is outstanding! Excellent communication, very patient with our dog who can be timid with new people, and he was super engaging on the walk. It can be hard to find someone who can help with training our puppy while really listening to how we are working on training, and Nathaniel has been just perfect! Our dog is very excited for many more walks.
