“Jenin was so friendly and so sweet to Charlie! He had the biggest smile on his face during their walk! Jenin is reliable and walked Charlie for the entirety of the booking! Great at updating us with pictures and Info!”

“I’ve heard great reviews about Chloe and my dogs clementines walks. She’s been great at doing short walks during the hot spells which I greatly appreciate!”


About: My family has had dogs and cats since I was young and I now have a cat of my own. As a kid I got to know my neighbors through their dogs. I have experience taking take of dogs of various breeds, sizes and ages. I am currently working full-time with a flexible schedule. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to make it work. I quadruple check that harness and leash are secure before we even leave the house. Every pet has their own needs and will discuss with you before taking care of your pet.
“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”

About: I have a dog and a cat and I have never met an animal I didn't get along with! I raised my dog from being a puppy and watched him grow into my senior boy! I also have experience living with and caring for a variety of dogs, all the way down to a tiny 6 pound dachshund. I also have plenty of cat experience and have cared for and lived with many of those as well :) I emphasise patience and respect. I typically work from 4-late so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend mid-day for a walk or home visit. For in home visits I will respect and adhere to any rules or specifications you lay out for your pet. For walks I will adhere to any specific route you would like us to take or area of the city you would like us to stay in.
“Can’t say enough good things about Yulia. She is so sweet and you can see how much she loves animals. She was very kind to our yellow lab who sometimes gets anxious and stubborn. She made sure he was well taken care of, that he got good exercise, and potty breaks. She sent lots of photos which evidenced how much fun Dempsey had while in her care. Highly recommended!”

About: I've grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. From tiny puppies to large lovable seniors, I've been around them all! I'll treat your pup with lots of scritches, belly rubs, and love like they're my own, all while maintaining the level of discipline you keep in your home. I'm comfortable walking on a leash, taking them to a dog park, or just hanging around at home watching whatever is on TV. Dogs are a comforting presence for me, and I'm eager to take care of yours. I'm currently unemployed and am job hunting as we speak, so my schedule is wide open! Whenever you need a caring, watchful eye over your pup, I'll be there. I live by a park, so if I'm dayboarding, there's easy access to green space. If I'm dog walking or dog sitting, I'll follow your lead. You know your pup best, so whatever rules or expectations you have, I'll ensure they're followed and maintained.

“Elliot walks my young large German shepherd mix twice a week . He’s great , arrives on time , feeds her when I request it and Daisy loves her . I would highly recommend Elliot to anybody looking for pet care”

About: I used to volunteer at a dog shelter where I would feed, water, walk and supervise the dogs. I’ve also had experience handling and caring for puppies with my 2nd dog (who we got at 10 weeks old) and experience with senior dogs with my 1st (who is now 13). My mother also used to train puppies to be service dogs so I’ve learned a lot of what I know about leash training, reading body language, and overall handling from her! I’m about to be a senior in college and a student full time, so in between studying and classes, I’d love to use my time to keep your dog (and myself!) healthy and active! I don’t have any pets at school with me but when I’m home they get walked regularly for 30+ minutes but also get loooots of lazy time!
About: I am home full time most work days! Our dog, Bagel, has been getting a lot better with his separation anxiety but we’re definitely familiar with the struggles of not being able to leave your dog alone, so we’re happy to work with you to find a solution! We have experience giving pets medication, experience with picky eaters, and with dogs with separation anxiety. We can take medium sized dogs but don’t like to take dogs bigger than 60 pounds! This is flexible if your larger dog is relaxed and easy to walk. We also prefer low-moderate energy dogs as it is more difficult to take care of a high energy dog alongside our beagle. I have recently graduated from my grad program and am looking for work, so am home most days during the work week! Our schedule is more unpredictable on the weekends, but we’re happy to work with you to accommodate. We have an unfenced backyard and two long tether leashes so your dog can hang out in the yard (while supervised!). Dogs are welcome on our furniture but not on the bed. Our dog Bagel likes to just hang out on the couch. He has lots of puzzle feeders and enrichment toys and is happy to share!
About: I grew up with cats, and currently have one now. I am a big cat-lover, and am happy to check-in on, watch, feed, and play with your cat(s) while you are away. Whether your cat is anxious, shy, energetic, etc., I am happy to be there for them however I can, and fulfill your/their needs to the best of my ability. I also love dogs! Although I did not grow up with a dog, I have extended family members + friends whose dogs I have cared for regularly. I am happy to provide whatever care your dog needs - whether it’s walk(s), meals, playtime, companionship, etc. I can ensure they will be under thorough, considerate, and loving care! I am very reliable, patient, thorough, and respectful, and am happy to provide updates during visits. I am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand if you’d like. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or if you are looking for a sitter! :) I am pre-med and my schedule is currently pretty open/available since I recently left my full-time healthcare job in search for part-time while I study for the MCAT for medical school. I am flexible and am happy to accommodate you and your schedule as best I can. I am very reliable and communicative. I will arrive on-time (i.e. your preferred time(s)) to care for your pet(s) and will ensure that they are well cared for. I will be respectful of your instructions, and of your home. I am not offering pet-sitting services in my own home.
“Angela was great with Haisley! She is super communicative and kind, Haisley loved her as soon as she met her. She checked in when it was snowing to make sure Haisley was comfortable for her walk. It is great having a dog walker you trust who is kind and communicative. Thank you Angela :)”


About: I have loved and cared for pets my entire life and understand the importance of attentive and loving care, especially when the owners are away! My schedule is quite open as I work from home full time and can be available day and evening as requested. I can provide walking and/or sitting for short or long term durations. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in downtown Boston. My home would be very suitable for smaller dogs! I live directly across from a park as well.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Central is $25

Nate has been a great dog walker for our dog, Sierra. He provides nice updates about the walks and it looks like Sierra is having a great time. He is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. I will be booking Nate again and I highly recommend him for your dog walking needs.

David is an excellent dog walker who I would recommend to anyone looking. He is courteous, professional and knows dogs well, and rather than just taking my dog on walks he mixes it up with fetch, dog parks and play time. He is always on time and very dependable.

Lauren was super friendly super cute, on time (annd even early!) and my dog loved her! She followed directions perfectly, made sure my dog had water spray to cool him down and freedom was very happy to see her again! Lauren has a bubbly personality that makes her especially fun to be around.. Trust 100% with my dog. Highly recommend her for your pet!

Julia was able to walk our dog twice over the weekend upon last minute notice. We just had a baby and needed our Maple walked, and Julia was so helpful in getting her exercised. She was mindful of the heat and our dog’s short snout and made sure to give her water and breaks in this summer weather. We’re so thankful.

Karley has such an enthusiasm with new dogs, my dog warmed up to her immediately on the first walk. My dog is not a “licker” but sure licked Karley in appreciation and happiness. In our our communications she was warm and very responsive and even offered help in finding someone on a day she couldn’t make it . It was a pleasure having her walk Freedom and I am extremely lucky she could do it . Most importantly , I trust her with my dog. I highly recommend her and will use her again.

Jenin is amazing!!! She is so warm and friendly my dog loved her right away!! We did a meet and great prior to our walks and Jenin was sure to ask about any allergies or medications my dog potentially needed. She then did an amazing job walking him and locking up our home after the walk! One day it was raining outside so she took the time to play with our pup to ensure he was stimulated for the day! I cannot say enough kind words about Jenin and Clyde, my pup, is excited for his next walking sessions with her!!
