“Annabelle was exceptional! Mango is a rescue and can be shy meeting new people and can get a bit anxious on her walks. Annabelle was very attentive to Mango’s needs and took great care of Mango. She’s very professional, communicative and I would highly recommend her for your pets care!”

“Kara is great! 10/10. Super communicative, incredibly nice, reliable and has the utmost care for animals (and people)! Will absolutely continue to use her in the future, thx Kara!”
4. Chad C.
“Chad was great! They met our dog Clover on the same day as they had their first walk and she was immediately at ease. She can sometimes be skiddish and wary of new people and situations, but she loved Chad right away. We love that Chad lives close and will take Clover on walks to the Boston Commons to see all the flowers and people watch. She's more of a human than a dog, in my opinion, and she really loves time with her trusted people just chilling in the sun. Thanks so much for being her new friend, Chad!”

9. Elizaveta T.
About: As a dedicated pet owner of three dogs, I’ve gained hands-on experience managing a variety of personalities and needs. One of my dogs struggled with anxiety, so I learned how to create a calming environment, recognizing early signs of stress and adapting routines to help them feel secure. I’m self-employed, which gives me the flexibility to manage my own schedule and dedicate plenty of time to this role. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, so I can easily adapt to different time needs or special requests. When I’m looking after pets, I focus on safety, trust, and making them feel totally at home. Whether it’s in my place or yours, I make sure they’re in a safe, comfy space where they can just relax and be themselves.
10. Tommy C.
“Tommy has been such a huge help with walking Rhody while im in the office! He’s very accommodating, going out of his way to meet Rhody before the first walk, which made me feel much more comfortable. I’ll continue to book with him and highly recommend!”

“Anna was great. She walked Allie multiple times this week and was friendly, reliable, and communicative.”
12. Spencer M.
