“Emily is a fantastic, wonderfully caring dog walker / pet care taker. We use her services for daily weekday walks for both of our dogs which have very different needs ( a 14 yr old golden doodle with mobility issues and a 10 yr old lab that still thinks she's 3 yr old spring chicken). She has also house sat over a navigation for us so that they didn't have to go into a kennel. She is trustworthy, communicative and extremely kind. You'd be fortunate to have her services.”

“Sheylah has been great with both of our dogs! She is proactive in her communication, and our dogs have a blast on their walks. We would highly recommend Sheylah to anyone seeking a caring and responsible dog walker!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and dependable pet sitter and dog walker with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve worked with animals since I was 16, including 7 years as a veterinary technician assistant in an animal hospital and experience in doggy daycares. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, administering medications, and handling pets of all sizes and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize safety, patience, and communication! 🐾🫶🏻😻 I work full time four days a week as a house coordinator at a women’s halfway house in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. My position is very flexible, which allows me plenty of time throughout the day to care for your fur babies. I also have full availability on my days off, which are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs! I live in an apartment complex and typically prefer to provide pet sitting in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. I have, however, pet sat in my home before. I share my space with three cats and a small chihuahua who get along well with other animals, and I have plenty of room to safely care for your pet’s needs. I always follow care instructions closely and prioritize a calm, clean, and safe environment.
“Ria took such amazing care of my two dogs. Her care and attention is evident in her communication and the dogs absolutely loved her. (They're watching for her to come back today.)”

About: Since I was a kid I was surrounded by animals! At 7 years old I was given then responsibility to take care of my own life long best friend I named Sandy, who grew up with me for 15 years until 2021. Throughout the time and especially after I have always jumped at the opportunity to take care of my friends and family’s pets! Some of my favorites are my older sister’s three energetic pups: Benjamin, Buttons and Bleu who love to run in the yard and play ALL day! I also love taking care of my other sister’s two cats: Lulu and Phoebe who enjoy a quiet night in full of cuddles and head scratches! I also spend a lot of time dog sitting my best friend’s 1 year old Boxer who is full of energy and loves treats! In the summer of 2023 we went on daily walks around the neighborhood and on special occasions we would go on Starbucks Pup-cup runs which she loved! Overall, I’ve been around dogs and cats of all ages and have had a lot of fun throughout it! Pet care fits into my schedule since I work remotely the majority of the week! I am also a senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst which allows me to have a lot of flexibility with my class schedule! I have my own apartment which is quiet and pet friendly! I especially have tons of time on the weekend to take care of pets for a longer duration of time! I live at an apartment which is 100% pet friendly. It is surrounded by many side streets which are great for going on long walks and exploring the area. My apartment is quiet and has space for a crate if needed. I own pet bowls, dog and cat toys, and can be easily puppy or kitty proofed if need be!!
