“Angelina was great with our dogs and I was nervous at first because of our breed of the 2 dogs and the size of our bigger dog most people are afraid of pits or are not to fond of them but she handled it very well. Did everything she was supposed to plus more. She was super kind and patient and our dogs loved her instantly. She provided great communication also. I wouldn’t know what we would have done without her while we were out of town but she gave me some relief. This was my first time and experience with the app and I loved it. I would rebook Angelina if I ever need assistance with Brick and Yola again. No matter the height or weight of a dog it didn’t scare her off , nor the excessive barking at times and the fact they love to jump on people lol. She was genuine and loved every moment from my understanding.”


“Neha was fantastic! She took the time to meet Comet the day before his first walk, which was incredibly helpful. It was clear that she's experienced with dogs and understands the concerns of anxious pet owners. During Comet's walk, Neha was very patient with him while he was adjusting to having a new walker. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos of Comet. Neha is highly professional and a true expert in dog care”


“Yasmin has been amazing! She has been walking Lemon for about a month now and she has been very responsible and communicative. She has also been flexible and willing to help when we need a change in the schedule. I highly recommend Yasmin for your pet needs.”


“Michelle is just the best. Truly. She’s punctual and communicates really well and is so upbeat. I feel total peace of mind knowing she is looking after my little guy.”



About: I have had dogs and other animals (cats, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs) for most of my life. I have lots of experience taking care of animals. I will take good care of your pet like he/she is part of the family. They will receive lot's of attention and love. I will send you photos and updates on how they are doing. I can take them to the groomer if needed, water plants, pick up mail etc. while you are away. You don't have to worry they will be in good hands. I worked as a Veterinary assistant when I was in college. I love animals and will treat them as if they are my own. They will get belly rubs and lots of attention. If you need some light housekeeping while you are away we can discuss that as well. Your dog will never be left alone. I do leave the house I will either take your dog with me to do errands or he/she will stay with my housemate who is also a pet sitter while I go do an errand. We can discuss what routine your dog is used to so that he/she feels comfortable while you are away. I will do my best to accommodate his/her and your needs.

“Katie has been great with Riker. He's young and has quite a bit of energy, but he's much calmer when we get home thanks to his mid-day walk/playtime with Katie. She lets me know if he got into anything while we were away or if his bathroom habits seem to change. I'm continually rebooking her!”


“Elsa had a great walk with Gabriel, despite all the rain and mud! I appreciate his patience with Elsa, and was happy to show Gabriel how we do our walks! I believe Gabriel has a real appreciation and love for dogs which is what matters most!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I’ve looked after everything from playful puppies to chill senior cats, and even fostered a variety of animals from a local shelter. I offer patient, loving care and a calm, stress-free environment. When boarding in my home, I only take pets from one household at a time, so your furry friend gets my full attention and feels right at home. I work from home most weekdays, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! My schedule is flexible, and I’m mostly available on weekends, as well as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a secure apartment that’s perfect for cats and small to medium dogs. Cats can relax and enjoy plenty of natural light and views from my large windows, while dogs get fresh air and exercise with walks to several nearby parks just minutes away. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, loving care in a safe, clean environment where your pet can feel relaxed and happy.

“Claire was excellent! She kept me updated and took some cute pics of my dog before/during/and after the walk. She even sent me a picture of my cat when she saw him after walking my dog. Highly recommend!”



“Michael is wonderful to work with. He is excellent at communicating, trustworthy, and had an intuitive understanding of how to care for my dog with special behavioral needs. She loves him!”


“Rebecca is amazing! I have two very challenging dogs (one super timid and the other super protective). She is SO patient and worked through all the quirks my dog was having during her stay and she is very calm and consistent with them! I highly recommend her for your dog walking needs!”


About: In the past, I regularly cared for my family dog. This included baths, feeding times, play times, and many walks. I currently have two cats of my own who I care for with the help of my partner. I have cleaned out many litter boxes for them, given baths when necessary, and administered antibiotics. I am a student and have a part-time job. My schedule is flexible and changes from week to week. I form my school schedule around what I have going on in the given week, so it will be easy to fit in time to care for your pets. For in-home visits, I will rely on the measures you have in place to keep your pets safe. To me, it is really important to check the environment for anything that could be toxic to your pet to ensure their safety.

About: From puppies to seniors , I’ve cared for them all. I love animals of all types . I’m reliable and prompt. I have a lil pittie of my own named Kiwi. I will treat your baby as my own. I have a very open schedule right now . I am working 2 days a week but the rest are open for walks . I myself am someone who enjoys walking and loves dogs . This seemed like a perfect fit. Your pet would always be supervised . Your pets safety is my number one priority. I know myself how much I value when I have someone I can trust watching my baby, kiwi.

About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 10, and she’s my best friend. I have walked and taken care of dogs of all sizes, and other pets as well! I have also taken care of my sisters dog since we’ve had her, for 2 years while she was at college. I have watched over multiple dogs in my family, including two new puppies. I am a full time student at UMass Boston, so I am very free on the weekends and less so during the week. I have time on MWF and Tuesday after 2. When taking care of dogs within my own home, I always review the rules with the pet parent and make sure they are comfortable with my own to house their pets. When traveling to another clients home, I make sure to understand how access would work and if there is anything that needs to be done before after and during my stay to help them.

“Megan was amazing - our first dog walker experience could not have been better!! Megan and Buttons hit it off immediately during their pre-walk meet and greet. She gave detailed walk updates and took great pictures of Buttons. By the 2nd walk we had pretty serious FOMO - she took Buttons to a nearby conservation, checked out a local baseball game and met our neighbors. A couple of walks were even over 30 minutes and they cover a lot of ground together. Thank you Megan!!”


About: I’ve been walking my 100+ lbs Akita since I was 8 and taking care of a cat for 2 years. My dog is known to pull and be quite frightened by suspicious environments, but I’m quite confident in knowing how to handle those situations :) I’m always willing and happy to take care or walk a pet for a friend anytime. As I’m currently looking for a full-time job straight from graduating high school, I’ve decided to dedicate my time to taking care of fluffy pets in need of company :) My schedule is quite open and in need of playtime ! As the summer temperatures rise and my dogs coat is very hefty, I will always ensure a nice cold bowl of water after her walk, and even a brush to relax. Although she’s not quite energetic I will always be ready to play whenever to chance comes up, and be sure to give her a treat for being a good girl :) The same will always be ensured for your precious pet.

Maia was so great! We needed a walker at the last minute and it was our first time having a dog walker. She was so responsive and communicative and was super flexible. She did great with Happy, gave us lots of updates and photos which made me feel SO much better about Happy being home without us.

Erin is fantastic! She is so experienced with animals and is so kind to my dog. I also really appreciated her flexibility when I got sick and had to cancel a walk last minute. I'm very thankful that she takes such good care of my lil guy, taking him all over the neighborhood, the dog park, playing with him inside when it was too hot for a long walk... Erin is wonderful, and I will definitely rebook with her in the future!
