2. Jayms P.
“Jayme was wonderful as a Dogwalker for my 3 year old mini poodle in the Watertown area. She treated my pup as her own and was absolutely lovely to work with. She was super flexible with timing and even last minute booking. She is great with sending text updates & pictures of your pet while out on the walk. Unfortunately we moved away from the area but I would take her with us if we could! We love Jayme!”

8. Tyler S.
“I have had the luck to be able to have tyler has a housemate and roommate for about 4 years as we traveled around the US. One of our fellow travel buddies was my dog Pippin. My now 9 year old Cavachon. Tyler was always considerate to Pippins needs and would walk him/feed him/ or simply take him on adventures even while I was at work, all without having to be asked. Tyler is a kind soul who loves animals and will always put their safety and well-being first. Now we are in different cities, but Pippin and our new pack-mate, a 3 year old Samoyed named Bao Bao, still love visiting and hangout out with Tyler! I fully endorse Tyler to be a dog walker because he is trustworthy, considerate, and kind to both humans and animals alike. I say 2 thumbs while Bao Bao and Pippin say 4 paws up!”
9. Alina S.

10. Marisa P.
“Marisa was so wonderful and caring in overnight care for my busy pup Cerbi. She was not only a great communicator and punctual, but most importantly the perfect company and companion for my pup while I travelled for work.

19. Emma F.
About: I have had both dogs and cats my whole life! I’ve had a yorkie, a pitbull, a lab mix, a German Shepard mix, as well as 2 cats, so you could so I have handled them all. I currently don’t have any pets as I have recently moved out, so I would love to fill that hole by giving your pet all the love they deserve. I’m currently working part time: Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday evenings. So other than those specific times, I’m completely available to you and your pet’s needs! I am more than happy to take care of some basic household needs like vacuuming pet hair and changing litter boxes. I have administered insulin to animals with diabetes so I am comfortable handling medication with proper instruction. Can crate and help with potty training if needed.
20. Cole T.
“Cole is AMAZING. I was traveling cross country and my pups get anxious. Cole took better care of them than I could have hoped. He is professional, reliable, mindful, and in tune with what my dogs needed. Cole does not come in and just do his job. He takes his time and provides excellent individualized care. I am a phd student of psychology that has the most nerve wracking conference to go, Cole made my life smooth sailing. He is my go to moving forward :) if I’m lucky. He will be available!”
