About: I’ve had a pup for as long as I can remember, and LOVE training dogs. I was able to learn the basics from my mom, who happens to be an agility dog trainer! Big or small, I love all pups. Can’t wait to meet yours! I am typically available weekends, and have a varied schedule during the week. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, and would be able to tend to your pet most consistently those days. I have a dog run area, and enough space for a crate if you provide one. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, so if your pup gets nervous I’ll be spending a lot of time with them!
“Alana was so sweet and gave us wonderful peace of mind while we were off getting married! Her messages were thoughtful and we’ve already rebooked her for later this month :) thank you Alana, Leila never warms up to people that quickly!!”
“Elliott is amazing! He always takes cute photos of my dog and is very communicative and friendly. I appreciate him so much - thanks Elliott for being so great!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Nico! She has cared for him over multiple days, and I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter. Emily handled both oral meds and injections with complete confidence and care. She also kept me consistently updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled cat sitter—especially if your cat needs a little extra medical attention.”

About: I’ve had 2 dogs and 3 cats during my time in undergrad, and I miss them dearly (they were my roommates). I can’t have a fur baby right now because I’m in grad school but I’m looking to play with yours :) I’m currently in grad school at MUSC and this upcoming fall semester I have class Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays until 12 pm. Other than that I will be working remote so I am pretty flexible during the work week. Weekends just depend on if I am out of town but if I’m in town I’m willing and able if I’m not busy! I love playing with dogs and cats, I’ll take them for however long a walk they need because that’s an excuse to get more steps in for the day!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I have a dog myself that lives in Houston with my parents. I have been taking care of dogs in Boston since 2020 when I moved here. I have been taking care of dogs overnight since 2021. I have experience with all breeds, sizes and ages. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs. I work from home. There are about 5 days a month I travel for work but the rest of the month I am home and available for any type of service. The dates I am unavailable are known a few weeks in advance. I live in an apartment but there is ample outdoor space. I go on at least 3 walks a day myself so I can easily take your pet with me. I have no pets myself but Charlestown is a very dog friendly area.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Marina, I am 23 years old and currently in graduate school for my masters in nursing. I grew up with two loving dogs in my home, including a very sweet black lab named Riley who passed at the age of 16 this past march, and a very energetic Australian Shepard named Flora, who is a 5 year old pandemic puppy. I have always loved taking my dogs and the dogs of friends on long walks and hikes. I am extremely loving and patient with all dogs and am comfortable with all energy levels, from a senior who needs a slower walk with lots of stops to an active dog that wants to play and run. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and happiness of all dogs and will ensure that your dog is well taken care of and well supervised when in my care. Please reach out if you have any questions! I’d love to chat! I am a student running on a 6 week class and clinical schedule so my schedule changes about every 6 weeks. I currently have lots of mid week morning and afternoon availability. I am overall flexibility with my schedule and know my available dates far out in advance. I can schedule consistent care, or just an occasional walk / drop -in I always keep my dogs on leashes when walking. I am very patient and allow them to take their time to sniff and enjoy their walk. I am very carful to ensure dogs do not consume or run into anything that could be harmful to their health! Their Saftey and well being is my priority. Riley, my senior dog, needed various medications towards the end of his life, so I am comfortable with administering pills with dog food. I ensure to walk dogs in a dog friendly environment and do my best to get to green space that they can enjoy while on their walks. I will work hard to meet your dogs unique needs and ensure they are safe and happy when in my care
