1. Jayms P.
“Jayms was a reliable, caring and energetic walker for our 3 year old Pitbull mix, Meadow. She always provides pictures and updates, and it is clear how much she truly loved our pup like she was her own. Jayms was even able to help us out in a pinch a couple of times for last minute coverage. We're sad that she's moving out of the Boston area!!”
2. Savannah B.
“Our pup loved his walks with Savannah! I usually stress abt having anyone care for him in my absence, but she made the whole thing very easy and worry-free for us. We even got little report cards of his walks and activities. We’ll def be using her again! 🤍”
3. Justine M.
“Justine has been so great with our dog Freddie! He is a rescue and usually very timid around new people but Justine was very attentive and sweet with him from their very first meeting. She puts extra thought into what he needs and makes him feel comfortable. He has already warmed up to her! She’s the best!!”

8. Kat M.
About: I had been a dog owner since i took my first steps! There is always a special place in my heart for pups and cats. As a dog mom I want to provide the same level of care that I expect for my own Finny boy. I work from home and have my pup Finn here who goes on regular walks and takes naps throughout the day. I have regularly scheduled breaks to walk the pups, let them into the yard, or turn on the water toys! I have a fenced yard with concrete, a deck, and wood chips. There is plenty of shade if the pups prefer to be outside. Inside the home the pups are limited to the main living areas where I am nearby at all times. Meet and greet required to make sure everyone is happy including the pups and parents. 😊
