About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who is new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I currently have a cat of my own and grew up with multiple dogs, giving me experience caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs. Over the years, I've pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and helping pets maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I also work a flexible hybrid schedule, which often allows me to check in during the day in addition to mornings and evenings. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I'll provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I'll treat them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work a flexible hybrid schedule and typically only go into the office 1–2 days per week, though my schedule can fluctuate as needed. This allows me to be available for drop-in visits in the mornings, during the day, and in the evenings or to watch your pet in my own home throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any household routines that help your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I have 1 very social cat, Goose, who is 2 years old. He is absolutely spoiled and more than willing to share his space and toys.
“Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!”
“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!”
“I had a great experience with Hannah as a dog walker! She communicated promptly to coordinate everything and took my puppy Luna's schedule into consideration, which I really appreciated. She arrived right on time, took Luna on a nice walk, and sent lots of pictures throughout. Luna looked so happy and comfortable in every photo. It was clear she was in great hands, and I’d happily book with Hannah again!”
“Michael is very responsive, flexible and dedicated. He gives me regular update and takes dog walking to the next level. You can tell that he enjoys it. I’m a repeat client ;)”
About: I have a deep love for all animals, and bond quickly with them. I'm patient and caring, as well as responsible and cautious. I over communicate and will send tons of updates, pictures and videos. I live and work downtown; I am within a few blocks of my apartment and can be flexible to walk and drop in during the day. I have ring cameras that I can set up in my home for boarding, or in your home for day visits, to give piece of mind that your pets are well looked after. I'm happy to board or visit your pets at their home! I have a city apartment with great windows, hardwood floors, lots of sunlight and tons of comfy spaces for kitties/dogs to get comfortable! I am happy visiting in your home as well, and will adjust my cadence to what your pet prefers. I can set up ring cameras to make sure your animals are happy and cared for during the day, and make sure, if they need immediate attention, I’m aware and available .
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.
About: I have over a decade of experience raising both dogs and cats, having grown up in a multi-pet household. Currently, I’m the proud owner of a wonderful 3-year-old French Bulldog. I’m a big believer in continuous self-development, and I’ve channeled that patience and dedication into training my own pup, who now knows over 10 different tricks! I’ve also helped friends teach their pets new tricks. Because I have a highly flexible work schedule, I have plenty of time to give both my Frenchie and your loved ones the dedicated attention, structure, and care they deserve. I live in a secure, managed building in downtown Boston alongside my friendly French Bulldog, meaning your pup will have an instant buddy and a safe environment if they need a place to crash for the day! For your convenience, I’m also fully available to travel to you for drop-in visits, feeding, and neighborhood walks.
About: I've have volunteered in animal care since I was a teen. I have had both cats and dogs that I raised from newborns to senior citizens in need of special care. I love pets and will work hard to make yours feel at home while you're away :) I am a new grad student in Boston, so dog walking and cat sitting is a perfect way to get fresh air between my online classes! I don't offer boarding, but as a pet owner I know how important it is to keep pets safely secured by leash or harness if stepping outside is part of the request.
“Great job!!! Making Penny so happy She is behaving so much better after these walks Please if it’s freezing don’t mind hanging out in house with her and throwing her toy but great job if it’s ever really cold feel free to just let her out to go bathroom then play inside or walk around inside the building Thank you!!!!!”
“Lauren has been an amazing dog walker for my dog, Ginger. She’s kind, reliable, and always gives Ginger the best walks. What I love most is that she takes the time to snap adorable photos of Ginger every single day. It’s such a nice touch! Lauren also keeps me updated on how Ginger is doing, which puts my mind at ease. It’s clear she really cares about the dogs she works with, and Ginger absolutely adores her. I’m so happy to have found Lauren and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Muller can be a little apprehensive about strangers and Alice was able to settle him down and get him on a walk. She is great, and we will definitely schedule walks in the future!”
“Megan is great! She took care of our Yorkie, Mochi, for two walking sessions, and Mochi was always so happy when she returned home. Our puppy tends to be reactive during walks, so we provided Megan with a dog walker guide. Megan carefully read through the guide before the first walk and communicated openly and proactively before each walk. We strongly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was in high school. Many people in my apartment building relied on me to walk their pets after school which I rushed home from to hang with my favorite furry buddies. I have a flexible job that brings me all around Boston. I can chose whenever I start working so I can hang with your fur baby right before work even take a break and play for an hour or two! I have a pretty spacious apartment with a fenced in backyard. It is shared, but I live in a building of animal people so another fur baby would be welcomed.
About: Having grown up with a family dog, who is now 14, I have been put in charge of caring, walking, playing, bathing, you name it! I also have a 2 year old Golden Retriever with my girlfriend, named Frankie! She is extremely friendly (almost too friendly) and loves new friends! Love dogs of all ages, always happy to walk and play as I work remote most everyday. Working remote most everyday, happy to take walks early morning, at lunch, or just following the work day around 4:30-5 pm. Having a pretty flexible schedule I can make things works outside of that as well if needed! My girlfriend and I have an 2 year old Golden Retriever who is probably the most chill dog I’ve ever known. She’s great with other dogs and loves new friends. I live close to great walking areas / parks. I also have a dog canopy in my back seat and keep my car / home clean and extremely pet safe

Kayla is wonderful! Our 10-month-old puppy, Mochi, is always so excited when she gets to go out with Kayla. Mochi can be reactive when she gets too close to certain triggers, such as birds or other dogs, but Kayla follows our walker’s guide carefully and handles her with patience and confidence. We really appreciate how attentive and reliable she is. We’re repeat clients and highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.
Pebbles was in great hands the entire weekend I was away. The communication was excellent - I got regular updates and always felt in the loop. His routines were followed perfectly, making the whole thing stress-free. Will definitely be booking again and highly recommend! Thanks, Elliot!
I had a great experience with Hannah as a dog walker! She communicated promptly to coordinate everything and took my puppy Luna's schedule into consideration, which I really appreciated. She arrived right on time, took Luna on a nice walk, and sent lots of pictures throughout. Luna looked so happy and comfortable in every photo. It was clear she was in great hands, and I’d happily book with Hannah again!
Maddy was amazing! She was so sweet and gentle with our nervous dog. Arrived on time, took him to all his favorite spots, and sent lots of pictures. Her communication was great throughout! We felt so relaxed knowing she was taking care of our dog! Absolutely will ask her to come by again!
Danny has been absolutely wonderful with West. From the very beginning, it was clear how knowledgeable and experienced he is with dogs. He takes the time to understand West's personality, needs, and energy level, and it shows in every interaction. Danny is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves what he does. He has also shared helpful insights and advice that have been incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring dog walker.
Steven walked my dog Dexter for about eight months, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was always kind, professional, and genuinely cared about Dexter’s well-being. Both Steven and Tiffany were communicative, reliable, and flexible whenever schedules changed. We’re moving out of the neighborhood and are genuinely sad to be saying goodbye. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
