About: Hi I'm Christian I live near airport station. I've been walking small and large dogs for years for family and friends as a hobby and part time in different companies. Looking forward to do something I'm passionate about while making a few dollars. I work for wag as well,and am finding the more I do this type of work the more I want to take on. It's one of those jobs you never dread going to because it's what you care about doing so trying comes effortlessly. I encourage people to request me if they want someone with experience and enthusiasm. Available usually weekdays throughout the day and afternoon,and some weekends during the day. Currently am working flexible part-time jobs and am willing to accommodate request. Looking to make the experience a good fit for both you and me. I have a fenced yard in the back and a calm pet free place inside. The location is easy to find and have plenty of experience with other pets at this location. I do freelance part-time jobs,and some per diem jobs, so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets I'm boarding or sitting. I have a porch ,small backyard area and the pet/s can roam free throughout the apartment. Also a park down the st I can take them too if you wanted me to.
“Arianna was incredible with our doggo Padme. Our dog can be a little sassy at times and will refuse to continue on walks unless she is treated (we have spoiled her!) but Arianna kept Padme moving and they had a great time. Really appreciate her working with dogs that have their own mind!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including multiple senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. My entire family has had, or currently has dogs, so I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! In the past, I've trained my own dog to sit, lay down, shake, and even dance—so I know how much time, love, and patience pets need. I also understand how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, giving them attention, affection, and reliable care. My wife and I dream of one day owning a personal farm where we can give even more animals a loving home. Until then, I’m here to provide your pets with the next best thing—a safe, happy, and caring environment. I'm a musician, so my schedule is a bit more flexible and less traditional—which works perfectly for giving your pet the care they need, even on short notice. I'm most available during the day, but I understand that things can change quickly in life, so I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests too. Whether it's a quick walk or some quality time while you're away, I’m here to help keep your pet happy and comfortable! When I found my dog, Rhythm, in college, she quickly became my best friend and my whole world. From the start, I felt a deep responsibility to keep her safe—like I was the only one who truly could. That experience taught me how important trust is when it comes to our pets. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, which is why I prioritize safety and care above all else. Every pet is different and deserves personalized attention, and I’m committed to making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“Katie was amazing! Very reliable, responsive, and respectful. She was great with my dog and sent pictures / updates on each of their walks. I will definitely continuing using her going forward!”
About: I’ve had to be around 5 yorkies, 7 cats but now 5 and one guinea pig in the last six years. They don’t all live together…just same building. Currently working a part time job so I have Friday through Monday to take care of your pets! It would be a good way for getting my steps in! My cat is an indoor only cat. He can only go to the porch (which is fenced) with supervision by me or his grandma. As for dogs I will care for them however you want but always making sure their safety is first.

Rye V.
“Rye watched my senior dog and kitten during a last-minute trip, and I couldn't be more grateful. He responded and connected with me so quickly, despite the short notice. He did a wonderful job caring for my pets and even gave medication to my new kitten, who had a cold. I usually leave detailed instructions for new sitters, but due to the time crunch, I wasn’t able to prepare much. Still, Rye handled everything effortlessly. It was clear right away that he knew what he was doing, which really put me at ease. He also sent updates and photos while I was away, and I returned to two very happy pets. Rye was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be using his services again. 10/10!”

East Boston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan walked our 2 boxers and we were so thankful for her!! She is responsible, communicative, kind and professional. Both of our dogs have specific medical issues that Megan was great at helping with (pill administration and activity restriction). She even graciously cleaned up when one my dogs had an accident in the apartment and was willing to do a meet and greet with us beforehand which we really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone!
Soo is the best. She’s reliable, communicates often, and is always on time to pick up our dog. She keeps us informed with quick updates, which we really appreciate. It’s obvious she cares about the dogs she walks, and ours is always happy to see her. We’re very glad to have her help and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog walker.
