About: Hey there! My goal is to help ease the stress of leaving your pet at home when you can't take them with you. I have had dogs since I was a kid, 4 Newfoundlands, a Black Lab-Brittnay Spaniel mix, and I now have Charlie, a 9 yr old German Shepherd-Black Mouth Cur mix and Finn, a 1 yr old Heeler. Finn came to us as a puppy, so I have plenty of experience dealing with those puppy messes and temperaments. Most of our newfoundlands had hip problems near the end of their life, so I have no problem helping with senior dogs that need a little more care. I have also had multiple cats throughout my life and now have Luna, she is 11. I have 2 boys that are in school, so I'd like to spend time during the day helping other pet parents. My flexible schedule gives me the ability to be available on short notice. I am willing to fit in weekend time, but just need a little heads up due to family activities. I am happy to walk and play with your pet while I visit. If they like a good brush, I'm happy to bond with them in that way, too.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats. I have always been involved in pet care, as early as 9 years old by feeding my family cats and walking my dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs, giving them their shots. I also have experience with anxious dogs, especially ones that come from troubled pasts. I am a college student currently home for the summer so I have plenty of time to devote to taking care of your pups or cats! I am experienced with dogs that tug on leashes or aren’t exactly well trained. I am good at reading dogs’ emotions and giving them what they need. I am also detail oriented and will make sure to follow any instructions left for me to the T.
“Georgina is wonderful! Our 1 year old pup absolutely adored her, and she provided great updates and photos after each walk while we were away. We hope to work with Georgina again soon!”
“Tricia is fantastic! This was our first time using her to walk our dog, and we couldn’t be happier. She showed up exactly on time and was immediately great with our black lab, Cooper. After just one hour with her, Cooper was listening to her better than he listens to us! You can tell she truly loves animals—she’s kind, patient, and clearly a pro. Cooper came back happy, well-exercised, and tired out, which is exactly what he needed. If you’re considering a new dog walker, I highly recommend Tricia. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.
About: I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience and am a proud dog owner myself. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and maintaining routines. I treat every dog like my own and focus on safety, consistency, and lots of love. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my availability around class times to meet your pet’s needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep spaces clean, secure doors and leashes, and make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times.
About: I grew up surrounded by 3 dogs all throughout my childhood. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages as well as rabbits. I have experience in elderly dog care as I had taken care of my elderly dog, helping him stand and ensuring medications were given on time. I have two adoring kittens who I’ve raised from 4weeks old, i’ve had cats all while growing up. I can do deep litter box cleanings if asked. I strive to not only meet your needs and make you happy but also ensure your pet is happy and feels loved under my care. I work early mornings and get out at 2pm at the latest, meaning I have the majority of the day to be able to walk, play, and spend time with your pet(s). We can soak up the sunshine and they’ll always get dinner on time. I love to play with your pets, ensuring they get their energy out and have a good time. I love to go on walks with your dog or play with them in a yard.
About: I have been fostering dogs in my home for the past 2 years and have cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Through fostering, I've gained experience helping dogs adjust to new environments, routines, and people. I also volunteer monthly by taking foster dogs on field trips around town, to parks, and on neighborhood walks to help with socialization and exercise. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. I am available anytime and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care whenever needed. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, daytime check-ins, evening care, overnight stays, or weekend attention, I can accommodate their routine. I understand the importance of consistency and will make sure your pet receives plenty of care, exercise, companionship, and attention while you're away. In my home, pets will stay in a safe and welcoming apartment environment. While I don't have a yard, I regularly take dogs on walks around my apartment complex and to a large nearby field where they can enjoy exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. I closely supervise all pets and make sure they have access to water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, litter box cleaning, and companionship. If crate training or crating is part of the pet's routine, I can safely crate dogs when supplies and instructions are provided. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, fresh water is always available, and they receive the appropriate amount of interaction based on their personality and preferences. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have had cats and have taken care of them since I was eight years old, and have spent time with dogs, but don't have any of my own. But I am looking forward to meeting yours. I work part time, usually at night and usually on weekends, I am pretty flexible on weekdays and can take care of your pet in the mornings or afternoons. I feed and clean up after my cat at home. If I am walking a dog then I am comfortable running or going at any pace.
“We hired Julius to do a dog walk for us and we will definitely have him come back soon to walk our pup! For the meet and greet he was thorough and polite. During the walk we knew our dog was well taken care of and got a detailed report card! Recommend him for your pet needs!”
“Alyssa is wonderful with my new pup, Fiona!! She is very responsive, respectful and always on time for her visits. I know Fiona enjoys her time walking with Alyssa to break up the day!”
About: Not only do I have a dog of my own, but I also have dog sat multiple dogs including those of family and friends. Able to provide dog with love when their family is unavailable and very calm in high-stress situations. Currently, I’m in between jobs as a registered nurse. Trying to fill my time with something I love, so I’m very flexible with my schedule! I think dogs are more comfortable at their own house, that’s why I’m offering dog sitting at their homes. I will care for them like I’m a part of their family and provide them with enough love until you get home!
“Emma-Claire was an excellent dog walker, she was very responsive from the start, responsible, followed all my direction on how to get access to the house, put the harness on and kept our two doggies happy and safe. She sent us photos of the walk, we felt that they were in good hands. Will definitely recommend her to others and plan on using her again.”
About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have cared for pets while friends/family were away and enjoy doing so. I love spending time with animals. At the moment I am part time and have my daughter. My schedule is very open. Even on my work days I am free the first half of the day. However you want them taken care of is how I will do so. Always with love and kindness. I see my pets as my family.
About: I am training in puppy development, senior pet care, or behavioral modification.

About: I have been a true pet lover my entire life. Now I raise two daughters who feel the same way. There has never been an animal we did not love. I have been the one all of my friends and family always rely on to help walk, feed, bathe, and take care of their pets. I have a lot of energy so love being active and going on walks and hikes and running around with a dog. I am happy to have an animal cuddled onto my lap and do not even mind being licked all over my face! I treat every pet as if it was my own. I trained two dogs from 8 weeks old, on so understand what it takes. I have had a cats my entire life and I love kitties as well! I am comfortable with big and small animals. My children are the biggest animal lovers I know and both want to be vets when they grow up. We would treat your pet like it was our own with more love than you can imagine! My girls and I are around most of the summer, as I work in a school. We are very active so we would love to be out and about walking and taking care of your dog or taking care of your cats! If I were to come to your home and take care of your pet or walk your dog, I would be very comfortable letting myself in and approaching any time of animal. I would give them all the love in the world an any care or exercise they need!
“Marina is great, she arrives on time and is able to take Hensley out on walks in the woods. Our pup is a little on the shy side and she has been kind enough to gently introduce her to another dog to help with that. Thank you, Marina!”

Maanya was excellent and very professional. This was my first time trying a dog walker for Kai, and it turned out to be such a lovely experience. She was punctual and followed all my instructions to a T, including feeding him. She kept me updated with pictures and little updates about Kai throughout the walk. Definitely booking her again for future walks with Kai!
Sarah has been an incredible dog walker and caregiver for several weeks for my Great Dane, Max! She treated Max with kindness and patience, and built a trusting relationship with him—a gentle giant who's still in his adolescent phase. I always felt confident knowing he was in calm, capable hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I forgot to cancel some scheduled walks, and she promptly refunded the charges. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and personable dog walker.
