“Nathan is great, he's attentive and caring with Maddie. He doesn't let her quirks bother him and actively integrates our training methods creating a safe and consistent walking environment for both of them. Would highly recommend and use again!”
“Jamie clearly takes his responsibilities seriously and takes the utmost care of our dog. As first time dog owners, we were nervous to leave our pup in someone else’s care, and how our pup would react to someone else being in the home. Those nerves quickly vanished, and we as well as our puppy enjoy having Jamie come over to walk him and care for him. He is very professional and very caring toward our dog, which is all we could ask for!”
About: I love spending time with animals and giving them an abundance of attention! Growing up, our home was always filled with a variety of animals from rabbits, dogs, and cats, to sugar gliders, frogs, and geckos. I raised and bred rabbits in high school, receiving awards in small animal handling and showmanship. Caring for animals has always been my passion, something that brings me so much peace and joy. I’ve cared for large and small dogs, cats, young, and senior animals. I would love to meet your pet and see if we would be a good fit! I work from home during summers, so pet care is easy to fit into my schedule. I also have a lot of availability on weekends, as my work schedule and social life are quite flexible. I am hoping to make rover a significant part of my summer routine, so I’m very eager to fit appointments into my schedule. When entering another home, I make sure to let any pets have plenty of space and time before I approach them so they don’t feel that their safe space is being violated. When I stay at clients’ homes, I always make sure to leave everything the way I found it or better. I am very comfortable with extra safety measures if the client wishes (video monitoring, extra locks, etc.)
“Tatiana was responsive and I had no issues with her service. However, I would a brief summary of how Enzo did post walk and more than 2 photos. Given the weather these past couple of days I understand the urgency of get through the walk quickly.”
About: My green flag is, pets love to be around me. I've been taking care of my friend's pets for two years and they love me. I am currently open to work with your schedule. I am free 5 days of the week. Preferably after noon, but I am very flexible I work through pet owner's needs. I try to understand pet's personality. I allow pets to be themselves around me. Safety and care comes first.
“Danny has been absolutely wonderful with West. From the very beginning, it was clear how knowledgeable and experienced he is with dogs. He takes the time to understand West's personality, needs, and energy level, and it shows in every interaction. Danny is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves what he does. He has also shared helpful insights and advice that have been incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring dog walker.”
“Extremely dependable and arrives exactly when promised - she was so prepared that she even brought towels to dry off the dogs when it was very wet outside! Thanks again!”
About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and have experience raising cats and dogs from kitten and puppy stages to adulthood. I’m also the proud mom of a sweet 8-year-old cat who keeps me on my toes. I work remotely, so I have some freedom to come and check on your pets throughout the day. The time I spend caring for them is always the highlight of my day! I know pets feel safest in their own space, so I keep their normal feeding, play, and walk routines while giving them lots of love and company. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I give my own.
“My boy was well taken care of by Heather while my partner and I were gone for a weekend. She made sure he drank water, was fed, walked, and given some cuddle time twice a day. Highly recommended. 🫂”
“Felipe has been a complete godsend in our lives with our 2 yr old pitty, nena! He is always super responsive, trustworthy and always is so sweet with our pup. We know he treats her with love and as his own when she’s under his care on walks. He consistently leaves us detailed reviews of the walk and tells us how sweet shes been with him, He’s very caring and feel, We’re all lucky to have him. Would absolutely without hesitation refer him to anyone looking for walks or other services that he offers. You and your pup are in great hands 🖤”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and puppies thanks to my dad, a responsible dog breeder. Caring for dogs was a big part of my life from an early age, and I gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities. I grew to love cats as well when my best friend adopted two cats and we all lived together for several years. Since then, I've had the pleasure of pet sitting for puppies, dogs, and cats for friends, family, and clients. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away. As an animal lover who's new to the Boston area and currently unable to have pets in my apartment, pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to spend time with animals while helping pet owners travel or work with peace of mind. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. When petsitting at your home, I can be there all day if you have wifi and a place for me to use my laptop, or I can pop in during the day and stay overnight. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, going on regular walks, playing, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes are secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and outdoor time. I also understand the importance of following any instructions you provide regarding your pet's care, behavior, or medical needs. When staying in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I'm tidy, responsible, and communicative, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
About: I had a reactive dog for 10 years and have dog sat my brother’s three blue heelers many times, and if you know anything about blue heelers, it’s that they’re crazy! The pictures on my profile are from our cross country road trip with our two cats and dog, so we are definitely the type of couple that wants our pets to go on adventures with us. I’m an outdoors enthusiast so I would take your dog out on hikes, but I also know the importance of mental stimulation - We have a lot of puzzles and snuffle mats from our late dog. My partner and I will be tag teaming to take care of your fur babies! I telework regularly while my partner works remotely full time, so there will always be someone home with your pup! We enjoy going on hikes and live in a walkable city, so would take your dog out on coffee runs too. We have a fenced in yard, but we’re also very close to the Fells and other parks to take your dog out for some fresh air and exercise. We have a senior cat who is very friendly and curious and is used to being around dogs!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. I grew up on a farm and was always around animals. I had a dog with special needs, so I am comfortable with special requests. I am currently studying from 12:00-3:00 PM from Monday through Friday, but I am otherwise flexible. I would love to come take care of your pets any time outside of my class :) When I care for your pets in your house, I will follow all of your requests and give your pets lots of love and attention. I am happy to do whatever is needed to give your pets the care they need! I can accept requests for boarding on a case by case basis, as I have a dog at home as well.
About: Veterinary technician working in a vet clinic, almost 4 years in the field. Lifelong animal lover and caregiver. Looking for part time gigs that include more fluffy friends! I’m currently working 3 days a week at the vet clinic (shifts change week to week). Looking to fill up my other days with pet care to keep me active and surrounded by fluffy creatures. I update my availability calendar as my clinic schedule comes out. I live in a two family house (family owned). We have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run around and go potty if they’d like to. I have one cat, who gets along well with dogs (honestly, he just ignores them). If necessary to keep your dog more comfortable, they can be kept separated.

Danny has been absolutely wonderful with West. From the very beginning, it was clear how knowledgeable and experienced he is with dogs. He takes the time to understand West's personality, needs, and energy level, and it shows in every interaction. Danny is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves what he does. He has also shared helpful insights and advice that have been incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring dog walker.
Steven walked my dog Dexter for about eight months, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was always kind, professional, and genuinely cared about Dexter’s well-being. Both Steven and Tiffany were communicative, reliable, and flexible whenever schedules changed. We’re moving out of the neighborhood and are genuinely sad to be saying goodbye. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
Megan is great! She took care of our Yorkie, Mochi, for two walking sessions, and Mochi was always so happy when she returned home. Our puppy tends to be reactive during walks, so we provided Megan with a dog walker guide. Megan carefully read through the guide before the first walk and communicated openly and proactively before each walk. We strongly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Alicia is a superstar dog walker and we highly recommend her without any reservations. She meets the dogs at their level including running with our high energy labradoodle and cuddling/carrying our little Shih Tzu. They felt so much love and attention from Alicia. We appreciate you so much!
The walker was punctual, professional, and clearly comfortable handling dogs. She took the time to understand my dog’s routine, energy level, and any specific needs, which gave me a lot of confidence. Overall, the service was reliable and caring, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
Ren was amazing with Gronk. Super easy to communicate with, really thoughtful, and you can tell she genuinely cares. She took him on awesome walks and made sure he got plenty of cuddle time, which is very much his love language. I always felt like he was in great hands, not just being watched but actually cared for and happy. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely be having her back. Highly recommend.
