“Elizabeth was great! She was able to walk our puppy with less than 24 hours notice. I had a narrow window of time to give her the lowdown of what she needed to know, and she was a trooper in taking it all in and executing what we asked for our Maple’s walk on a hot day.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, am very patient with all dogs, and love long walks on the beach. I currently have a lot of availability to dog sit during the day and to stay over night. Taking long walks around Boston is already part of my daily routine. Please let me know if your dog has special needs or behaviors that I can account for. It is important to make sure that your dog is comfortable while you are away! For example, I will ask how your dogs is near other dogs before taking them to a dog park or in crowded areas.
“Great communication with prompt updates with pictures! Could tell she was very comfortable around my pup and knowledgeable about dogs on my meet and greet. Would recommend!”

“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.”

About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs ever since I was 8. I have trained all my dogs and some around my neighborhood. I have walked the dogs around my building since I was 13. I am currently an undergraduate student so I have a lot of time before and after my classes. My favorite time to walk is in the afternoons and I am excited to meet all of the dogs. I have big open spaces in my apartment and currently don’t have any dogs so a fight between them is not possible. I can also crate the dogs if the client ask.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and tutu was adopted 3 years ago. Tutu passed away in October 2025 and I wanted to do more and keep his spirit alive by caring for other dogs. Tutu was a senior dog, was selective with other dogs, and had separation anxiety so we have experience taking care of similar dogs. Biggest thing for me is letting me know what triggers your dogs have, any medical needs, what “safe” looks and feels like to them. Our dog tutu was a rescue so I so understand the pain of reactivity, separation anxiety and respect owners who have dogs with behavioral issues a whole ton. I'm happy to provide boarding, house sitting and walks. I prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand. I’m a clean and tidy person (a little too clean maybe!), and in your home, I’ll respect your space and keep things where they are. Ask me about my house cleaning service!
“Sarah was amazing! This was our pup’s first time having a walker come in while we weren’t home. He was very nervous and Sarah was so calm and patient! Kept me well informed throughout! Thank you again, Sarah!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love caring for pups of all sizes. I’ve dog-sat for neighbors and friends for years, and I’m very comfortable with big dogs thanks to my family’s 95lb English Lab☺️ I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. I can also provide references from families I’ve dog-sat for throughout high school and college! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so those days I am super flexible! It’s easy for me to step out for a walk or do a drop-in during the day, and I actually enjoy breaking up my work with some pet time! The other weekdays when I go into the office, I am available for drop in visits/walks anytime after 4pm! Most Saturday and Sunday’s, I am available throughout the day for visits as well! I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home, following their routine and giving them plenty of love and attention! I also send updates to owners so they know how everything is going.
“Joselio and his fiancé did an amazing job watching my dog while I was out of town. They were extremely responsive and took excellent care of my dog. Joselio sent daily updates with pictures and detail! I would 100% recommend and will count on Joselio again when I have to travel!”
About: As a full time higher education professional with a true passion for dogs, I spent my free time throughout my college and graduate school years getting professional experience in the dog care industry. Through my years working in a dog daycare setting I have learned crucial dog handling skills including reading dog body language, working with reactive dogs, basic obedience training, and medication dosing. My dedication spanned to working overnight shifts where I cared for boarding dogs ranging from 6 months to 14 years of age. With these important skills under my belt, I am hoping to keep utilizing them in the time I have beyond my 9-5. I am currently raising my own pup, Otis, to be the best gentleman he can be! I have absolutely adored the dog training process, and love watching him succeed. I would love to do the same for your dog. With years of professional experience and a passion to keep dog care in my life, you can be confident that your dog is under trustworthy and thoughtful supervision. I look forward to befriending your best friend!! 🐾 As mentioned, I am a full time professional by day, but I am dedicated to providing walks & drop ins to pups in need in the evenings, some days during lunch, and weekends! With extreme attention to detail, I will make sure your furry friend is walked and cared for exactly how you prefer. I understand that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to pet care, and every dog is unique. So, getting to know you and your dog is of utmost importance to me.
“Kristen jumped in to help us out at the last minute when we were already out of town. She was prompt and gave our dog a nice walk! She was very quick to respond and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I honestly don’t have a single memory without a dog in it! I grew up with two big black Labs who were basically my brothers. I was always the neighbor everyone called when they needed help with their pets because I believe dogs deserve the best care from someone they trust. These days, I have a rescued Jindo mix who completely stole my heart. I also help my family with our two other pups—a lovable Lab-Pit mix (our “Covid dog”) and a 90-pound black Lab who thinks he’s a lap dog. My husband is a total dog whisperer, and together we’ll treat your pup like part of the family! I am a remote student who will be home for all boarding needs, providing plenty of walks and playtime! Any special instructions for what your pet needs for their routine will be met! I have my own sweet pup who loves meeting new friends! I do have a crate available if needed, though it rarely gets used—dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture and even snuggle in bed with us if that’s what they’re used to. I’m a total helicopter dog mom when it comes to their food, water, medicine, and overall well-being. I’m very in tune with dog dynamics and can tell when a little space or alone time is needed. The only thing I ask is that your dog is comfortable around men, since my husband will be around and is just as much of a dog lover as I am. I only host one dog at a time, so your pup can get my full attention and care!
“Lily did a great job with Evie, including dealing with some unexpected separation anxiety. She was an excellent communicator and we appreciated the extra effort she put in to make sure Evie felt better.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I volunteered for a full year at a dog shelter, where I walked dogs daily, played with them, helped socialize them, and even welcomed some into my home when they needed extra care or weren’t getting adopted. Beyond my shelter work, I’ve also taken care of my own dogs and regularly looked after my aunt’s dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, senior, or somewhere in between, I’m patient, loving, and always focused on keeping them safe, happy, and relaxed. I’m currently between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care, and I can easily adapt to last-minute requests or special routines. Your pet will get consistent attention, reliable timing, and lots of companionship — no rushed walks or long hours alone. When I take care of pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy, just like they would with their own family. I always follow the routine you already have in place — feeding schedule, walk times, treats, training rules, and any special needs.
About: Hi, I’m Cody! I recently moved to Boston and am exploring the city one dog walk at a time. I love caring for dogs and would be happy to host your furry friend for boarding. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a weekend stay, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I currently work from home and would be able to comfortably board your pet or am happy to set up mid-day walks as my work schedule is fairly flexible. I currently live in an apartment with a dog park nearby should I board your pet in my home or am happy to take your pet out for bathroom breaks, walks, or playing as well as feed and clean up after any accidents in your home if only there for a walk.
