About: I have been an owner of my dog, Scout for 13 years. Over those 13 years, I have learned how to care for animals. I have volunteered for the humane society for the past 5 years as well! I am currently working during the mornings of each weekend so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays. I can care for your pet during any hour of the day during the week! I feed, walk, and shower my dog with attention each day. I will treat your pet the same way mine would want to be treated.
“Dave is reliable!”
“Kanwar was great! Scout picked up the good vibes immediately and got along very well. Kanwar was responsive and very considerate. For example, he went out of his way to check Scout’s water bowl was full after his walk on a hot day.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small furry or reptilian! I’m comfortable with different energy levels and sizes and willing to put in the work to get to know your pet and make sure they are comfortable! I work from home with very flexible hours so I can accommodate many different schedules during business hours and throughout the rest of the day I live in an apartment so will not be caring for pets in my home, but I am very careful and thorough with all pet care instructions.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
“She is really nice, I really like her. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life; my first was a black lab, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve helped train, walk, and care for our family’s three dogs, who are truly my world. I’m willing to go the extra mile for your dog(s), whether it’s playing, going to the dog park, or just giving them love 🐶❤️ I just completed my last internship at law school and now have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to petsit full time for the summer and fall of this year. I’m available during the week and on weekends! In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved by creating a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal schedule and care instructions, keeping things consistent to help them feel at ease. Doesn’t matter if it’s feeding, walking, cleaning up, or just giving them attention: I treat every pet like my own.
“Great service! She was right on time. Responsive and flexible.”
About: I have volunteered with dogs for about 5-6 years, including with large dogs and reactive dogs. I also pet sit my friends' dogs. For me, spending time with animals is therapy. I would love to give your dog all the attention they deserve during my visits. Whether it's long walks, snuggle time or a check-in, I will make sure your pet gets the best love and care! I work full-time but my job is flexible. I'm available for drop-ins, overnight stays and walks. The end of the week and weekends are the most open for me. I cannot pet sit at my apartment, but I am comfortable staying in others' homes. This is how I pet sit for my friends. This also helps with pets' comfort, I think.
About: Growing up I’ve had either a dog , cat , fish or bird. Once I had all four at once ! My love for my fur family grew with my age & now I’m extending the love from my fur family to yours ! <3 I currently work a part time meaning I have plenty of time to spend time with your fur family ! That could be cuddles , walks , meals & just chill time I’m there ! My services happen in your home to ensure you the most secure & trusting environment for not only you but also your fur family! <3
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 16, typically for friends and family members. I currently own a 2 year old pit bull mix named Milo, and my husband and I adopted a chihuahua mix last year as well. Both our dogs were completely untrained when we adopted them so we spent countless hours training and supporting them. Now, both our dogs are fully house trained as well as trained off leash, with amazing recall. I am currently in between jobs, so my schedule is very open. Typically, I take my dogs on 1-3 walks a day depending and also allow them to just roam and sniff around where possible. I can ensure your pets safety and will follow any and all rules you have set in place for your pet! I am more than happy to bring one of my dogs along for a walk to keep company or just to have someone to play with. Whatever needs you have I am happy to help!

About: Since the age of three I’ve always been around pets! Ranging from alligator lizards, to German shepherds to pigeons in a shed! I became a member of PETA at the age of 10, it’s true lol! P.S. I only signed up for the cute calendars! ❤️🐶 I am a college student, however, my early afternoons and evenings are typically open! During that time, I’d love to care for your fur child!! My backyard is fenced in for safety. For overnight services especially, I will reach out to the owner beforehand to gain insight on how to best make your furry loved one feel as safe and comfortable as possible!

Great Communication. On time, and very caring to our pet. They went above and beyond and even hung-out with my dog after the walk. Could not recommend more highly. Strongly advise you book with Matthew!!
