About: I used to have two dogs I took care of when parents are away. I've also worked in a veterinary office which had me working with all dogs small or large. I'm very active with my dogs and love to run with them. I have experience training puppies and all the tricks to make them feel right at home. I have also administered medication before to my dogs. I am an event coordinator so my schedule is very fluid, I make my own hours. I prefer to walk dogs before and after work since I work over in Belmont. I will be working dog walking hours into my schedule so I can be very flexible. My dogs are always welcome to new dogs. I have two 13 year old jack Russell's! I don't have much of a backyard but always walk my dogs all around the block about five times a day. I like being active with the dogs, it's so good for their health. Also love taking dogs to Cos Cob Park.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, including all throughout college, and have experience with everything from basic care to delivering medications to playtime to get out some energy! I trained two puppies myself and helped care for dogs through all life stages, including for my friends and family as well as my own. I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to break free for midday walk-breaks, medication schedules, and feeding times, and have the ability to stay overnight to ensure no lonely pets! While I can’t currently have pets in my own home, I do have a dog park, know the greenways and walking paths of the area, and can also take care of pets in the comfort of their own home! Whatever your pets routine and comfort level is, I can adhere to!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old, whether that was my family dog or my neighbors or friends needed a walker/sitter I am in school, so I will have more than enough time to spend with your pups! I am available everyday after 4pm except thursday and saturdays which i am available after 6pm I’d love to take your pups on walks and I am able to provide medication needed, I am able to stay for extended stays if needed
“Adam was amazing! This was my first time leaving My dog for the weekend with someone we didn’t personally know. Otto is reactive and anxious so it’s hard to find someone that can navigate caring for him especially on walks. Adam was great with otto and sent lots of updates and pictures. He was very caring and attentive. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets!”
“Cindy’s care was top notch of my precious cat. She showed on time each and every day. She gave my cat lots of TLC. I felt complete at ease, while I was away for a week. When the visit was over, I arrived home to a spotless, clean home and a happy cat. I would definitely highly recommend Cindy for care of your fur babies.”
“Stephanie was terrific with our two spoiled beagles. She was attentive and communicative throughout the stay. She sent lots of pictures of our happy pups. We will certainly use Stephanie again.”
“Teagan did a great job watching Niko and left my apartment immaculate. Very kind and provided regular updates for Niko which put my mind at ease and let me enjoy my trip to the fullest. Definitely found a long term dog sitter!”
“Kayla is very friendly, reliable and communicative. This was her second sit for us and I am very pleased every time! She sends photos and updates when she arrives, etc. Kayla is welcome back anytime! Thanks Kayla!”

Olivia was great! She watched our 3 dogs while we were out of town for work. She checked in regularly and sent pictures. She made us feel at ease about being away from the dogs and they were relaxed and happy when we returned. Will definitely book with her again. Thank you!!
Amazing sitter for my 2 dogs! I really appreciated her high level of communication, she did a great job sending updates and pictures. She stayed overnight in our home and left the place spotless. I would absolutely book Madison again and would recommend her to anyone!
The best sitter/ walker! Lindsey is so patient with Morgan. He’s very nervous and by then end of her 10-day stay, he was settled into their routine and was a more confident dog. Lindsey has gone above and beyond to build her relationship with Morgan. She also left our house in pristine condition, even had fresh sheets ready for us since we got back late in the day. 10/10!!
This was our second time booking with Yvonne, and once again she was wonderful with our two Basset Hounds. She provided timely updates and photos, kept them on their routine, and made sure they got plenty of attention and exercise. Communication was great, and everything from drop-off to pickup was smooth and easy. We felt completely at ease while we were away and already plan to book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!
We used Emily for the 2nd time. She is wonderful and we highly recommend. Was a rainy long weekend and she kept the dogs entertained and even walked them every chance they got when there was a break in the rain. Dogs were loved, lots of updates and photos and house was spotless.
