“Zilalai is so great with my large husky! She learned the commands he knows and uses them for him. This helps us so much, and him, with sticking with routine. It’s a breath of fresh air to have Zilalai!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! I had to find a last minute sitter for my 8 months old puppy and she was so accommodating and flexible. She was willing to connect beforehand to make sure all details were set, which made me feel extra comfortable. She was timely and so attentive to Loon, and shared updates and photos along the way. She was truly so great. We will definitely be going to Emily first when we need help in the future!”
About: I don't just love my cat, Pinto, I also respect him as a living being. I don't push his buttons and I'm constantly working to make him feel more safe and comfortable. Your pets will receive the same love and attention from me! I'm taking a hiatus from my fulltime job and I just moved to a new area of the city, petsitting will allow me to get out and explore the neighborhood and meet cute creatures! I'm good at following instructions and respecting pets' spaces, I'll be checking in with the owners and giving constant updates. I take my cat's safety seriously and I do worry a lot, I have a camera to monitor him when I'm at work, and before I leave I remove any objects that could possibly harm my cat.

“So thankful that Kelly was able to take care of my pup for a few days while away for the weekend! It makes me feel better knowing she’s in a calm and secure environment with Kelly instead of in daycare/boarding. And great to see lots of pics of her hanging out with Kelly and her dog, Lemon. Thanks again!”
“She was very kind and accommodating. Communication with her was very easy. We were able to schedule in an additional walk. My dogs seemed to have had a good time.”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and animal person. I grew up riding horses and spent years at the barn caring for the horses, dogs, and cats. I've had my own dogs and taken care of other people's. I would love to take your dog for walks and spoil them with love! I am also licensed in my town and have pet sitting insurance outside of Rover's insurance. I have a flexible job and work from home most days. I can fit in walks or be around the house with your dog. I have a secure and good sized fenced in yard and live near a dog park as well if your dog is okay with other dogs. I balance spoiling dogs with lots of love, treats, and pats with making sure dogs get whatever individual care they need including feedings, exercise, and medications if needed.
“Maxie just had his first walk with Natalia, and I can tell that he is happy and comfortable with her. Natalia comes across as an empathetic and kind person from a caring family that loves all animals and worked patiently with rescues. She listened to me with genuine interest as I spoke about Maxie and his background, habits and requirements. I feel completely comfortable leaving my beloved boy in her hands, and look forward to many more weeks together in the future!”
About: I have experience working at multiple animal hospitals, and currently work at an emergency animal hospital, which has equipped me with more than enough experience to take care of your furry friend! Past my work experience, I grew up with a pets and adore them. I currently only work Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, so I am free to take care of your pet during the early morning if those days, or any other day of the week! Having experience in veterinary care, I can assure you that your pet will be well taken care of. I grew up with animals, and have prior pet sitting experience.
About: I have been surrounded by animals all my life, starting with my cat Cheeks and leading to the 3 dogs and 2 cats that I have at home. Alongside taking care of my family animals, I have professional experience with Crossroads Campus, a dog adoption center and non-profit in Nashville, TN. I worked in dog care during Summer 2025, and I go back to work during my school breaks. My responsibilities included taking each dog on walks, spending personal time playing with them inside and outside, feeding them, monitoring their behavior in a kennel environment, and learning each dog’s individual personality. I felt connected to each dog and can proudly say that all the dogs I worked with have been adopted. Ultimately, dogs and cats remain an integral part of my life, and I want to continue to remain close to animals and take care of them while I spend my summer in Boston. I am currently interning at the International Institute of New England as a Legislative Advocacy Intern, and I am working on a hybrid schedule. I am unavailable on Thursdays when I need to go into the office, but otherwise, I'll be working remotely and will have lots of free time. I am located in Chestnut Hill, MA near Boston College, but I have access to both the T and a car, so it is easy for me to travel. Overall, I am very flexible with scheduling and will have tons of open time during the week to get outside with your pet when you need a date night or a couple days out of town. At home, I help my family by feeding our dogs morning and night and giving them the proper medication that they need. I also go outside with them and play in our backyard as well as take them to different dog parks near our house to let them get out of the house every so often. At Crossroads, I took each dog on a walk every day and helped with feeding and playtime. I love walking, running, and hiking, so getting your dog out for some exercise is a given for my work methods!

About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, bunnies, fish… you name it! Growing up as the go-to pet sitter in my New Hampshire hometown, I’ve had the joy of looking after pets of all kinds, ages, sizes, and personalities. Now based in Boston, I’m excited to connect with new furry friends and provide them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m patient, responsible, and truly passionate about animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle buddy, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m here to help! Let’s make your pet’s day a little brighter! I’m currently a graduate student, with most of my classes and commitments happening Monday through Wednesday. That means I’m wide open Thursday through Sunday to spend quality time with your pets! I also have flexibility throughout the week, so if you need a quick drop-in or walk outside of those days, just reach out—I’m happy to make it work! My experience caring for pets has taught me that safety always comes first. Whether we’re at home or out for a walk, I’m always mindful of the little things that make a big difference—double-checking that doors are secure, food is stored safely, leashes are properly fastened, and any potential hazards are out of reach. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority every step of the way.
About: I have been working as a veterinary assistant for 4 years, and will be starting veterinary school in the fall. I am passionate about making pets feel safe, cared for, and happy in whatever ways I can. This is reflected in both my years working in the veterinary field, and the many years taking care of my own family dogs. While your pet is in my care, I treat them as my own! I am currently working per diem as a vet assistant, and enjoying the summer before I begin graduate school. I have very open availability on days where I am not working, which are reflected in my calendar. I have grown up around dogs and cats, and feel comfortable caring for and being around animals in all settings. I have lots of practice with walking dogs around other people, children, and dogs. My experience as a vet assistant allows me to be comfortable if your pet requires medication or specialized care during my time with them.

Although it was her first time meeting Terry, she handled him with ease and took him on a great walk. She made sure he was comfortable by taking short breaks and offering him water when needed. She communicated with me throughout the visit, asked if there was anything else Terry might need, and followed all of my requests. I really appreciated her care and attention to detail.
Taryn was absolutely wonderful! I needed a last-minute walker and she came through without hesitation. She was communicative, punctual, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I'll definitely be booking Taryn again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker!
