1. Annabelle F.
“Annabelle was exceptional! Mango is a rescue and can be shy meeting new people and can get a bit anxious on her walks. Annabelle was very attentive to Mango’s needs and took great care of Mango. She’s very professional, communicative and I would highly recommend her for your pets care!”
2. Clare N.
“Very clear communicator! Really appreciated that Clare also kindly agreed to wipe my dogs paws after the walk!”
3. Emma L.
“Emma took our dogs on a long walk and took great care of them! Would definitely recommend her!”
4. Chad C.
“Chad was great! They met our dog Clover on the same day as they had their first walk and she was immediately at ease. She can sometimes be skiddish and wary of new people and situations, but she loved Chad right away. We love that Chad lives close and will take Clover on walks to the Boston Commons to see all the flowers and people watch. She's more of a human than a dog, in my opinion, and she really loves time with her trusted people just chilling in the sun. Thanks so much for being her new friend, Chad!”
5. Diamond D.
“I highly recommend Diamond as a dog sitter! She has a natural ability to connect with dogs, no matter their personality. I have two dogs with very different temperaments—one is high energy, and the other is more reserved. Diamond was amazing with both of them, giving each dog the attention and care they needed. She is not only loving and comforting around dogs but also has a lot of experience as a dog owner herself. Whether it's playtime or walks, she handles everything with ease and confidence. I trust her completely to take great care of any dog!”

About: I am currently in graduate school as a PA student. I'll care for your dog just like my own. I've grown up with dogs my entire life - both pure-breds and pound pups. I have a 3 year old lab/husky mix who is 70 pounds so I have lots of experience with large dogs. I also have experience with dogs who pull/jump. My lifestyle is very active and filled with hiking, running and spending time outdoors as it is - and I would be happy to take another dog along with me or walk your dog around the neighborhood. As a dog owner myself, I know that finding someone you trust with your beloved pet can be a struggle and I assure you that I will meet your expectations. I am extremely reliable, responsible and kind. You can depend on me to show up on time, communicate effectively and be attentive and loving to your dog just as if he/she were my own. I am currently a graduate physician assistant student in my clinical rotations. I have extra time on the weekends to walk and care for your dogs I am willing to take your pet on long walks or even runs to get their energy out. I am patient and kind and will treat your dog as I would my own.

9. Chelsea J.
“Chelsea took care of my pet for over a week while I was out of town, she was great and extremely communicative during the whole period I was away. She stayed a few hours extra over the course of the week keeping my cat company because he liked her so much! She is very responsive and sends plenty of pics whenever she goes and visits. 10/10!”
10. Ava S.
“Ava did amazing with Stella. We could tell from the first meetup that she enjoys being around dogs, and she has been so nice to ours. I would highly recommend her as a walker. Your dog will be very well cared for”
11. Caroline S.
“Walked and fed our dog 3x a day twice in a row. Really helped us out and would definitely have Caroline walk for us again.”

13. Karina M.
“Karina is the best! She is very professional and communicative. Provides lots of daily updates and was very caring with Oscar and Ringo. Definitely coming back!”
14. Miing D.
“Miing is a devoted sitter & dog-dad, who is also great with big dogs! Kendall can occasionally be reactive to other dogs, but she was very calm around Kaya, Miing’s pup, both on & off-leash. He provided expert advice on everything from training to harnesses & was very accommodating in the scheduling process. Most importantly, I trusted him 100% with my 100lb bundle of exuberance. Would absolutely book with Miing again!”
15. Tommy C.
“Tommy has been such a huge help with walking Rhody while im in the office! He’s very accommodating, going out of his way to meet Rhody before the first walk, which made me feel much more comfortable. I’ll continue to book with him and highly recommend!”
16. Jordan S.
“Jordan has been amazing with my two dogs, both of whom are rescues that need a little extra care. My senior dog is sometimes nervous around new people and Jordan made sure to respect her boundaries and gain her trust over time. Jordan is very knowledgeable and good at catering to the different personalities and needs of both dogs and I am very comfortable leaving them in her care. Highly recommend Jordan if you’re looking for someone you can trust to care for your pups!”

“Emily was very responsive and flexible as our needs changed slightly within 24hrs and she was able to accommodate - would definitely use again”
20. Emma I.
“Emma cared for my shiba inu this past winter break for 2 weeks while I was traveling. They understood my instructions very clearly and were very communicative with me when I was gone. Shiba inus can sometimes be a little temperamental, but Emma handled him like a champ! I think they formed a great bond, and my little boy earned a new friend!”
