“Kylie has worked with my dog for several months helping him become less reactive to triggers and she is amazing. He listens better and is able to recover quickly from triggers on his walks through redirection. She is helping him to live his best life! Thanks Kylie!”


About: For the past decade, I have cared for an array of animals, including cats, dogs, rodents, rabbits, and reptiles, both my own and my neighbors. I have also volunteered at shelters and veterinary hospitals. When it comes to house sitting, I always stick to any schedule given to me by my client, even if the pupper has a different idea. I am an athlete, so long walks or runs outside are right up my alley. Play time a home is a special time for all animals and I am not afraid to get down and dirty to see a happy pet. I have found purpose in looking after animals throughout my entire life, even cleaning cages or scooping poop. I hope to meet you and your furry, slimy, or scaly friend! I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. It also makes it easy for me to be there for you last minute! I am not able to have pets stay over at my apartment, it is not a big space and would not be comfortable for dogs. I also have a couple pets of my own and would not want to stress them out or your cat.

“Lizz was great with my pup! First time using her services and she really helped me out on very short notice. He looked really happy. Thank you Lizz!”


“Maggie is wonderful with my puppy Alfie. She takes him out for a walk daily; she is super professional and reliable. I know she loves Alfie like he is her own. We had a great meet and greet with her to ensure Alfie would be comfortable with her. I always get updates and photos from the walks. I know with absolute certainty he is in safe hands.”


“Karissa was amazing with being able to help out last minute. I lost Khaya over the weekend and wanted Obi to have some time with someone during the day while I was at work ti help get his mind off of everything. Karissa was extremely helpful with him, took him for some walks and gave him a little extra loving. Highly recommend Karissa!”



“Today was my first time with lace G. And my pit bull was very happy. I will definitely be booking another walk. She was very friendly and knowledgable.”


“Thank you so much for walking my boy.”


About: Last Summer I worked at the zoo as a keeper’s aid in the children zoo farm. I worked with all sorts of animals, but especially with the petting zoo goats. Goats are a lot more like dogs (and some cats) than you might think I’ve walked a goat who did not want to be walked, dogs aren’t so bad I also have experience doing visits for friends’ cats and my neighbor’s dog My own dog Pepper can be quite stubborn (though I love her regardless), so I’ve learned to be patient I love animals, and they tend to like me This is my last Summer before college, and while I am currently looking for a part time job my schedule is mostly free right now! If you’re looking for consistent daily or weekly walks, you can get that on my schedule now even if it’s at an odd time I always introduce myself to animals gently and try to gain their trust before I get to what needs getting to for more outgoing animals that can be pretty fast, but I’m not afraid to be patient and move slowly I’m well versed in all the basics (cleaning litterboxes, walking dogs, etc.), and a quick learner if your pet has any additional needs :)

“Molly is outstanding!! I am a very anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in the hands of someone else and I cannot emphasize enough how caring, loving and attentive she has been with my pups! Highly recommended Molly if you are looking for an extra hand with your furry loved ones!”


“Hired Karina as the first dog walker for our pup and very happy with the experience. She seems to know a lot about animals and genuinely loved our dog like her own. Will use for future walks as needed.”


“Tori is reliable, attentive, and amazing. She took the booking last minute which brought me great relief. She was attentive to the description in my bio as it related to care instructions. She asked good clarifying questions that showed she was present and responsible in terms of caring my little one. Constantly communicated which reduced my anxiety greatly. Also, great vibes. Will definitely request her services in the future.”


About: I’ve always been around animals and love to learn more about them and their owners. Always have been open to taking care of many animals and expanding my work. Have time plenty of time on weekdays and some weekends. Im open and inviting to any and every breed of cat or dog as well as other furry friends. I am able to travel for services and am willing to work around my customers! I am very diligent and pay close attention to small details especially when caring after someone else’s fur babies. As someone who has cared for animals in the past I understand the trust and respect you need to have for someone else’s home their rules and boundaries, same goes for animals. I am always open and willing to listen to concerns you may have and worries while you are away.

Pet care fits naturally into my weekend routine as I dedicate specific times around it to provide attentive, reliable visits. During the weekends, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. No matter the time of the day, I can ensure pets get consistent care. I prioritize flexibility and clear communication to fit pet care seamlessly alongside my other commitments. I care for pets in my home by keeping a consistent routine for both my dog and my parent in laws’ dogs who stays with us. I make sure to take them out on time for potty breaks, provide daily playtime to keep them engaged, and take them on long walks to help them stay active and healthy. I’m attentive to their needs and prioritize creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy.

“I was very happy with Elvis it was the first time for him walking our dog Loki, Loki was very happy. Elvis is vey nice, professional and friendly will definitely use his service again 👍”


About: I was in 4-H with my horse growing up - was raised with black labs, cats, and pigs. I volunteered to foster with PAWS and the Humane Society. I love having the flexibility of working remotely.... Keeping furry Family members company with much love, as well as getting to know new animal loving people! My current job has me working from home, occasionally having to spend a few hours a week performing tasks outside the home. I am never away more than a couple of hours (unless pre planned) so, I will have plenty of time to give your pet all the walks and playtime that they would like. I am very respectful and responsible. I can provide references upon request. I understand that each pet and household is different and will follow all requests exactly as specified.

About: I’ve cared for pets (cats, dogs, smaller caged animals) for as long as I can remember. I am the proud owner of 5 cats (I had a dog for 11 years), and have been volunteering with Boston’s Forgotten Felines, a cat-rescue organization that works to keep the feral cat population under control in this city and also helps abandoned/stray cats who need a home. I am currently working from home so my routine is flexible. Caring for pets is part of my daily life and I am in the habit of regularly looking out for stray/injured animals who need assistance. I am glad to work with you as a pet owner to develop a tailored plan for your pet’s specific needs in your home. Thanks!

About: I specialize in caring for small to medium-sized dogs, including playful puppies and adult dogs with lots of energy. I’m patient, gentle, and experienced with crate training, feeding routines, potty breaks, and leash manners. Whether your pup needs structured playtime, snuggles, or a calm companion while you’re away, I provide attentive care that keeps them happy, safe, and on routine. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. I’m organized and flexible, so I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care while making sure each pet gets individual attention and love every day. Their well-being is a top priority in how I plan my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home or mine, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, meds, crate time, and preferred play or cuddle routines. I also make sure their space stays clean, safe, and comfortable. I respect the client’s home and keep everything tidy while giving their pet the love and attention they’re used to when their family’s around.

“Alexis was wonderful with Leo. He looked really happy after his walks. She also played with him for a few minutes when they got back. Knowing that he was in great hands gave me a lot of peace of mind. Highly recommend.”

Sarah Anne L.
“Sarah Anne was born to care for animals. I've known her for over five years now, through high school, college, and work. She has provided a loving home to several lucky pets. Sarah Anne is the kind of person who will spend half of her lunch break playing with a dog on the sidewalk. She is my go-to encyclopedia of animal behaviors - the depth of her knowledge is amazing for someone who is not a professional veterinarian. On many occasions, I have seen Sarah Anne take care of her many pets better than she takes care of herself. I strongly recommend that you consider entrusting your beloved furry friend in Sarah Anne's care.”

Jordan P.
