“London took to Alina right away. Alina was very communicative and sent me pictures of London during their walk. I plan on using Alina to walk London in the future.”


About: Hi! I’m a graduate student with 5+ years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including seniors and pets with special needs. I’ve done drop-in visits and pet sitting for my friends in the Medford and Arlington areas, and I always treat each animal with patience, love, and attention. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, especially during the summer. So I’m available for pet visits and drop-ins on weekends and most weekdays. I’m happy to accommodate short-notice requests and extended stays when needed. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, medication, or playtime. I keep things clean, calm, and stress-free, and I make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.

“Our Buddy was comfortable right away, and he’s definitely a people selective dog. We look forward to more walks in the future.”


“Julia and Grace are a wonderful team! They took Zara on daily walks as I was transitioning back to going to an office. I trusted them with access to my house and they did amazing keeping Zara active, feeding her a treat, and following up with me! I appreciate their flexibility and positive energy and would highly recommend them.”


“Michelle walked our very nervous timid rescue boy Ollie and did a great job. She was persistent with him and got him outside for a walk even when he was nervous as he usually is with strangers. Overall we were satisfied with her services and would use her again if we ever need help.”


“Annette took great care of my dog (lab/Pitt mix) for drop in visits and walks! She was very flexible and adapted to Nellie’s needs each day. I absolutely will trust her to watch Nellie again!”


About: I have had animals my entire life. What truly sets me apart is my attention to detail, consistency, and compassion. I’m not just reliable—I’m someone your pet will be excited to see every time. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how much your pet means to you, and I care for them with the same love and respect I give my own. Caring for animals is a natural part of my day—it’s something I look forward to, not just a task to check off. I structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, I prioritize their well-being in my daily routine. I stay organized, communicate with pet owners consistently, and always leave time for extra cuddles, games, or calming routines depending on the pet’s personality. Whether I’m walking dogs, visiting cats, or caring for multiple pets, I build my day around making them feel happy, safe, and loved. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar space. I follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and walking routes to any special needs or quirks your pet may have. I take time to build trust with each pet, offering gentle interaction, play, cuddles, or quiet companionship based on their personality. I ensure fresh water, clean food areas, and tidy litter boxes or outdoor spaces. I’m respectful of your home and always leave it just as I found it—or better. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.

“I had to find a walker last minute and Susie came over and scheduled all in less than an hour! She brought treats and Sammy looked very happy during their walk. Thank you!”


“Lindy (Lourdes) has been so helpful walking our energetic golden retriever! She always comes reliably (with treats!) and keeps us updated on how things go. If it's wet she wipes our girl down. Our pup loves her and we rely on Lindy regularly.”


“Jasmina was excellent. She's dependable and friendly. She kept my older pitbull safe and comfortable as I would do myself, and thats as best as I could hope for in a dog walker! I would book her again.”


About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life and can't imagine it any other way! I've had 4 golden retrievers and know firsthand how much love, attention and care pets need to feel safe and happy. Over the years, I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes- helping neighbors, friends and family with drop-ins, walks and even overnight stays. My first pet sitting job was taking care of my neighbor's cats when I was 10, and since then my love dfor animals has only grown. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, snuggles, or making sure they stick to their routine, I treat every pet like they're my own. As a teacher, I'm home in the afternoons, evenings and weekends. During the summer I have much more availability for walks or drop-ins. I love making pet care part of my daily routine. I care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. Im ym home or yours, I follow their routine closely- feeding on schedule, keeping up with walks, playtime and snuggles and giving any needed medications. I also make sure they have plenty of love and attention so they are happy.


“Kimm is AMAZING! She’s very communicative and our 3 dogs love her. She’s intentional about making sure they get a good walk and giving a detailed report card on each pup!”


About: Hi! My name is Katie and I absolutely love animals! I've grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life and have generally had at least two around the house. I have had lots of experience with both big and small dogs, and am good at managing more than one dog at a time. I love to take dogs on walks, runs and play catch so I am great for dogs with lots of energy. When I was home I loved talking my two dogs on 5 mile long runs. I am available during the week and most weekends. I can accommodate smaller dogs at my house for a few nights but would prefer to stay with the dogs in their homes. Please feel free to message with any questions! I work evenings so I am free during the weekday to take pups on walks or check on cats! I also am happy to check on animals early morning and late at night when you are away, and can stay overnight. Safety is incredibly important to me, so animals in my care will be watched over continuously and I will be frequent communication (with photos) with the owner to keep everyone up to date on how the animal is doing.

“Sophia was such a pleasure to work with. Sophia came on time and collected Dakota and Bogomila on a walk replete with photos and helpful commentary. I look forward to working with Sophia in the future”


About: I have grown up with a dog and a cat my entire life, and have helped through the training puppy-stages into their senior years. My family recently got a puppy (corgi - named Bentley!) and I have enjoyed helping to train him and acclimate during all the stages of puppyhood. I am home for the summer as a student at Lehigh University, and I would love to help take good care of your pet(s)! I am a waitress so my schedule is subject to change but I have plenty of spare time to offer any help needed. Your pet’s safety and well being is my top priority. I am happy to follow any instructions for how you best want your pet to be taken care of.

“Ivy was very quick as responding to all communications and I was happy I could find someone at short notice to feed and walk my dog ! Thank you Ivy”


About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young. From training playful puppies to providing gentle care for seniors, I adapt my care style to meet each dog's unique needs. I am experienced in feeding, walking, bathing, administering medication, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog needs an energetic play session or a calm, relaxing environment, I can provide customized care to ensure they feel safe and loved while you're away. I have a completely flexible schedule at the moment, so I’m available to care for your pets whenever you need! Whether it's weekdays or weekends, I can dedicate my time and attention to your pets for boarding, sitting, or walking. I live in a pet-friendly house with a back yard right next to a beautiful park, perfect for walks and playtime. Although I don’t have pets of my own, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment for your pets while they’re with me. Your furry friends will have plenty of space to relax or enjoy some outdoor time at the park!

“happy dog. good job. thank you hannah!”

About: When i lived in Arizona i had taken care of many of my family friends dogs for many months at a time, i take care of my own dog here at home and i used to babysit a family who had a dog aswell. I am not working yet so my schedule is very flexible and i can pretty much work any day of the week other than some weekends. If the client wants their pet at my home, i have a dog named pepe who is very friendly with other dogs and has never had an issue. He is a little sweet white dog who is now 11 years old.

About: With more than 20 years of devoted experience in animal care, I have passionately focused on large breed dogs, both in kennels and through fostering and adoption within my home. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of special needs, and I take great pride in providing gentle, compassionate care along with basic obedience training and K9 CPR medical attention. I strive to ensure that every animal feels loved and valued, receiving the highest level of care and attention they truly deserve. I am currently working from home, which gives me the flexibility to create a tailored schedule that meets your needs. This allows me to provide continuous care for your pup around the clock, without any limitations on days, weekends, or holidays. Being an active individual, I ensure that your dog will receive ample exercise, engaging walks, and plenty of interactive playtime. Furthermore, I am dedicated to giving your furry friend the attention and companionship they deserve, fostering a happy and stimulating environment just for them. In my home, dogs are truly part of the family. They are welcome to lounge on the furniture and make themselves comfortable wherever they feel safe and at ease. I have an 8-year-old retired working dog who is calm and gentle, and he will be there to keep your pup company. I promise to create a warm and welcoming environment so that your furry friend feels right at home with us.
