“Beth is wonderful - very flexible with scheduling, very accommodating with my dog with special needs, and so patient with him. We are lucky to have found Beth and highly highly recommend her!”

About: Originally from Framingham, now living in the city. I’ve cared for animals since childhood, including cats and dogs of all kinds (and even cows, horses, and goats!). I have specific experience with Retrievers and Australian shepherds including training, and I enjoy giving pets the attention, routine, and care they deserve. I’m currently in law school, with most of my classes in the afternoon and evening, which gives me flexible availability. Feel free to message me with any questions! I care for every pet with the same attention I give my own. I keep spaces clean, follow all instructions carefully, and prioritize trust, consistency, and comfort above all.
About: I’m reliable, trustworthy, and ready to give your dog all the love they’ll be needing when you aren’t there! I’ll be sure to keep your furry friend safe, happy, and well taken care of :) I’m currently unemployed so I have a ton of free time! I just need a heads up in advance so that I can make sure I’m available :) I live in an apartment and do not currently have any pets of my own (although I do have a 4 year old Australian shepherd at my parents house). My apartment is very pet friendly and has tons of grassy areas and walking trails nearby!
“Umnia is absolutely amazing. She's an incredibly experienced dog walker, and came prepared with questions I hadn't even thought of. On walks or during playtime at home my little girl looked entirely herself. Umnia made my dog's transition to latchkey kid as painless as it could have been, and her detailed updates were a definite bright spot during my day!”
About: hi, I’m David – an attorney by trade and a dog lover at heart, my partner, and I share our home with Harriet, our gentle, senior rescue, and we’d love to welcome your dog into our peaceful, dog, friendly home. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, and care for all the day. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can fit pet care easily into my daily schedule. I can get out of the house any time during the day. My house is close to several parks and two major dog parks, which means there will be lots of frequent and fun walks with me! I also provide one-on-one time throughout the day. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication, and preferred activities. If your dog prefers not to mingle with Harriet, I can keep her on a different level in the house. Your dog will have their own privacy.
“Ana Christina is fantastic. She clearly loves dogs and is knowledgeable and experienced, and my dog adores her. Ana Chis is also professional, timely, and always responsive. I'd hire her to watch my puppy again in a heartbeat.”
“Would have loved photos, but otherwise super thankful for Rachel’s help. She saved our Thanksgiving! Easy to communicate with, responsive, and showed up right on time/early.”
“Catherine is not only very kind, but also clearly wonderful with all types of dogs. My dog is not the easiest, and he was extremely comfortable with her. :) Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up I have always had dogs and cats needing plenty of love and physical/mental stimulation. I understand the big responsibility that comes with caring for animals and find so much joy out of doing so! I have experience caring for senior cats, dogs, and high-energy animals. I hope you consider me for your pet sitting needs! I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of availability to care for your animals any time during the day, including on the weekends. Unfortunately I am not able to board pets in my home due to restrictions in my lease. I am available for multiple drop in visits throughout the day. Safety is the most important aspect of care in my eyes when caring for pets in their homes.
“We have used Lynne multiple times for last minute dog walking. She has been reliable, on time, and clearly showers our pup with as much love and attention as we do. Thanks, Lynne!”
“Meredith was incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and loving with my dog! I had issues with my previous walker with being flaky, but Meredith was proactive in confirming our upcoming walks for the month and took the initiative to make sure Rover reflected our scheduled walks. She was flexible with me when I needed time changes, and Coco absolutely adores her. Could not recommend more!”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs in my household since I was a baby. I have been walking and taking care of my own animals and others since I was 12. I have continued to take care of other’s pets throughout college and law school! I love all animals and always treat them how I would want someone to treat my loved pets I am currently available around the clock! I just finished taking the Bar Exam and have a lot of free time to be flexible for your pet’s schedule! I live in a studio apartment in beacon hill that has a good amount of room for a pet to run around in, and makes it easier for me to keep an eye on them! I am close to the Charles River Esplanade and the Boston Commons to be able to take your dog out for bathroom breaks, long walks, and playtime. I always make sure to clean up after myself and a pet when in someone else’s home and will always communicate with you!
“Madison was an excellent dog walker and has our highest recommendation. Our dog Aili is a bit anxious around new people - Madison was exceptionally patient and understanding when she came for the first walk and took extra time to allow Aili to warm up. It’s clear that she loves animals and is skilled at caring for them.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, including corgis and labradors. I have dog sat for friends and family for many years. I would love to walk your dog! I work in Clinical Research and as a Medical Assistant at hospitals in Boston, so I have a non traditional work schedule, allowing me some free mornings during the week and weekend to provide dog care I am comfortable feeding, walking, crating, or playing with dogs. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to 15 years old. I am careful and conscientious of the challenges and needs presented by different dogs.
About: Hello! My name is Karina, and I have a deep passion for taking care of pets. Over the past 15 years, I've had the pleasure of looking after a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. My experience ranges from daily walks and feedings to administering medication and providing special care for pets with unique needs. I have been a pet owner myself for 15 years, during which I've developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and health. I am well-versed in recognizing signs of distress or illness and know how to respond promptly and effectively. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and love. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention and care, tailored to their personality and preferences. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just being a calm presence, I strive to ensure that every pet feels safe and happy while under my care. I am also experienced with various training techniques and enjoy helping pets learn new tricks and behaviors. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and providing consistent care, especially when owners are away. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I am committed to providing a reliable and trustworthy service. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I have a hybrid work schedule and just recently got a puppy so I am going outside for potty breaks frequently. I live in a pet friendly apartment building and have a park and dog park right by me. I am available to take out your pet roughly every 2 hours. When pets stay in my home, I ensure they are welcomed into a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I provide a cozy, designated area for each pet, including comfortable bedding, toys, and personal space to relax. I follow the pet's specific dietary requirements and feeding schedule. Fresh water is always available. Regular walks, play sessions, and interactive activities to keep pets physically and mentally stimulated. My home is pet-proofed, with secure indoor and outdoor spaces to prevent any accidents or escapes. Pets are never left unattended for long periods. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I maintain a clean environment, with regular cleaning of pet areas, and feeding bowls. I am attentive to any signs of illness or discomfort and have a basic first aid kit on hand. I am also experienced in administering medications if needed. I provide regular updates and photos, so you know how your pet is doing. I look forward to providing the best possible care for your beloved companion!

“Thank you Laura for being willing and flexible to walk Milo! I really appreciated the constant communication around the walk, which gave me a lot of confidence.”
Benjamin W.
“Ben is extremely reliable and kind, and a true lover of all animals. He has been absolutely fantastic with both my dog Bailey and my cat Geela, handling dog walks and drop-ins with care and consistency. My dog Bailey is very high energy (border collie) and has had some obedience challenges, but Ben has done an amazing job reinforcing his training while still being patient and understanding with him. My cat Geela is usually very shy around other people, but Ben has made her feel so safe and loved that she now greets him with confidence and affection. He’s incredibly communicative, accommodating, and truly cares about the well-being of the animals he looks after. I trust him completely and highly recommend!”

If she posted any photos of our childhood dog Cocoa (a border collie mix), you’ll see how much that dog adores her. Devin trained Cocoa to do all kinds of tricks and gave her so much love and attention. Your pet will be in good hands!”

East Cambridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sienna is really an impressive young lady. A genuinely thoughtful person. And smart, a good listener and great communicator. Always updating me on her schedule and arrivals and any other relative info. Always upbeat. I knew when I met her my dog was in good hands. I can’t recommended her enough!
Nathaniel is outstanding! Excellent communication, very patient with our dog who can be timid with new people, and he was super engaging on the walk. It can be hard to find someone who can help with training our puppy while really listening to how we are working on training, and Nathaniel has been just perfect! Our dog is very excited for many more walks.
