“Tiffany and Steve have been walking our puppy Kevin at least three times a week since mid January of this year. They have been reliable, easy to communicate, and understanding. We receive pictures and updates from every walk, and our puppy seems to enjoy them very much. We are happy that we found Tiffany!”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was young. I’ve had many dogs throughout my life and truly enjoy both training and caring for them. During the school year, I work at a school, which means I have summers off and plenty of time to devote to your furry friend. I’m very active and love long walks, so your dog will get lots of exercise and attention. Beyond experience, my passion for dogs really shines through in my personality. I even live near a dog park and often stop by just to pet the dogs because it’s the highlight of my day! I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and dog-sitting is the perfect summer job for me. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup as if they were my own. Starting this summer (June 3rd-August 25th), I am available Monday-Friday anytime between 8am-6pm. If you would like to start before the summer, I am happy to schedule weekend care that fits with your schedule. I live in a pet-friendly apartment conveniently located near a dog park, where I can bring your pet for regular park time, long strolls, and plenty of opportunities to play and explore. I also have a reliable car, which allows me to offer pick-ups and drop-offs as well as trips to nearby trails or parks for longer walks or hikes.

About: Growing up in Minsk, Belarus, I had an Alsatian (he was the best) as a teenager, however I don't have my own pets at the moment, and I have a lot of love to give! Taking care of pets comes very naturally to me. I had boarded and sitted my friends' pets for many years, before joining Rover. I love giving pets care and attention they crave and deserve. I am pretty flexible mornings and afternoons/nights as I work from home at East Boston waterfront, 7 minutes walk from Maverick T station. I love walking dogs on the waterfront or play with them in the local dog park (if your dog loves playing with other dogs). I will follow your recommendations and rules strictly when caring for your pet. I live in an apartment, and can do 3 walks per day on the beautiful East Boston waterfront.

About: I love dogs and I can't wait to meet yours soon! I have been walking dogs on platforms such as a Wag for over 5 years. I am excited to dog sit now as well. I am currently working on a hybrid schedule and WFH on Mondays and Fridays. I am happy to accommodate for any schedule during those days and weekends and can support your dogs around 9-5 pm working hours on Tuesday to Thursdays! My apartment is a safe and clean environment. It is spacious and in a walkable area with green spaces that your dog can enjoy. I will provide your dog with the appropriate amount and type of food and fresh water. Furthermore, I will be so happy to provide exercise and playtime. I currently live with a roommate who has a small, calm beagle who gets along with other dogs. It would be great to do a pup meet and great in advance to ensure our dogs will get along :)

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.

Caitlyn is an empathetic and trustworthy. I had a challenge to find someone to walk my 9 year old golden retriever on short notice and I reached out to Caitlyn. She was communicative and found a way to be there despite it being cold and snowy, for which I am very grateful for. It also helps that she showers a lot of pets to Pluto (my Golden retriever) and Pluto is very happy to see her.

Reilly was phenomenal! Even though I was booking last-minute, Reilly still made time for a meet-and-greet and was super communicative throughout. I received adorable pictures of my dog having a great time, and I could relax, knowing that my dog was well taken care of. Reilly is thoughtful and friendly, and I will definitely be looking to rebook the next time I need some help!

I booked Ashlin when I desperately needed to find help with my dog very last minute. She was very quick to respond and was so flexible! She was able to do a quick meet & greet with my slightly anxious dog the same day. You can tell she truly loves dogs. My dog became comfortable with her in no time! She was on time, if not early, and took such good care of Mello. She was attentive to the details I gave about Mello and I definitely plan on hiring her again!

Nicky is the absolute best! Our sweet pup Hadley is shy and nervous with new people so getting her a walker felt like a big task. She absolutely loves Nicky- she doesn’t even look back at the door anymore she can’t wait for her walks! Nicky is reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoys being with Hadley (and we know Hadley loves being with Nicky because she jumps on her and gives lots of kisses). She is someone you can trust and will become your dogs best friend.
