About: I own 2 dogs and 2 cats myself, and have taken care of pets for family since I was young. I enjoy being around animals, and promise to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have 13+ years of experience with dogs, including senior dogs and 5+ years of experience with cats of all personalities. I am currently working freelance, so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your pets. If you have a pet that requires extra attention, I can complete my work in your space, providing any amount of care needed such as timely medication or frequent potty breaks. I have cared for pets in other people homes multiple times and I will ensure your space stays neat and tidy, and will ensure your pet gets the best care in the safety of their own home.

About: I have always been raised around dogs and love all breeds. A few years ago we adopted our own three- legged mixed pup who has filled our hearts with love! We also have another rescue mix that is high energy and keeps his friends playing all day! They love to play, but also love to cuddle and relax. We have never had trouble with our fur babes getting along with others. We and our dogs love to play and go on walks! We have a nice sized backyard that is fenced in and a great neighborhood to walk in with a park near by. Due to our opposite work schedules someone is almost always home to be with the dogs. We would love to meet your furry friend and let the playing and cuddles begin!

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week so my availability will always be changing. But,I will try to keep my Rover calendar up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! The plan is is turn this into a full-time gig so I will have probably more availability as time goes on towards the end of this year, but I’m hoping to find some regular clients that will book with me on a consistent basis! Plus, I’m really looking forward to all the pet snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too! I do highly recommend a meet & greet ahead of time so we can meet pet parents and also meet dog(s)! Let’s them see me and hopefully remember me and feel comfortable with me in their house! (*Please note: House Sitting rates apply to stays where overnight accommodations (a clean bed/space) are provided in your home. If you prefer daytime/evening visits only without overnight stays, please book via my Drop-In rates!)

About: I’ve rescued/raised three dogs from about 2 months old, and fostered pups/kittens as well. I currently work as Foster Coordinator at a local humane society. I have access to good walking trails, and a dog park. I can keep your dog active with hikes and parks, or we can just chill. Whatever they need! I’m working part-time with a consistent schedule. With advance notice I can be available almost any time, and be able to care for your dog throughout the day. Available for house/dog-sitting anytime. I’m available for anything your dog needs! I enjoy the outdoors, so we can go on walks/hikes together and play at the park. Or if your pup is more the indoor type, we can lounge about and play in the home.

About: I have two fur babies of my own. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and honestly don’t understand how some people don’t have one. I’m a professional fetch player and ear rubber. I’ve been able to teach old dogs new tricks and help leash train! I’m usually available morning and afternoons until 3pm. I don’t mind caring for multiple pups at once! I don’t mind kisses, and adore big dogs (all dogs are great though.) I love walking, so I don’t mind taking your pup for a good tiring walk around and a little adventures! I really want to meet more dogs in and around the area.

I can’t say enough good things about Caitlyn. My Goldendoodle is a little wild (okay, a lot wild), and she handled him with patience and confidence on their 30-minute walk. My Goldendoodle came home happy and tired, which is the best compliment I can give! If you have a high-energy pup, Caitlyn is the walker you want. I’ll definitely be booking her again.

We reached out to Christell for last minute walks for our senior dog while we were out of town for an evening. She showed promptly for the walks and sent us wonderful updates. Our dog is a little quirky on walks (he freezes) and she figured out a way to keep him moving! We also have a cat at home who got lots of attention. Thank you so much Christell for agreeing to take care of them under short notice! We would highly recommend Christell to take care of your fur babies!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Chestnut Hill. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
