Dog Walking Mattapan

“Jasmine was great! She was very attentive to Theo and made sure to carry him up and down the stairs to avoid injury, gave him his food and washed his paws after the walk. I highly recommend Jasmine as a dogwalker! I will be requesting another dog walk from her soon.”

About: Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, I love all types of animals but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart and being around animals has always been second nature to me. I took a break from Rover this past year while I moved and focused on work, but I’m fully back now with an open to give your pets my full attention. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible career working from home. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I will care for your pet like it is my own. Whether it is in my home or yours I will ensure that they are comfortable, well loved, fed and played with.

“Angelina was wonderful! Accepted our last minute request and went above and beyond. Would definitely have her again to care for and walk our boy.”

“Nancy stepped in with short notice to cover for my usual dog walker. She was very responsive and even made time for a meet and greet with my pup before the scheduled week of dog walking. She checked in daily, sent pics and was super detailed in her describing her outings and play with my good boy. I highly recommend Nancy and will definitely be booking with her again.”

“We loved using Rashely! She was so communicative and loving towards my pup. We are sad to be moving.”

“My 11 year old blind, toothless and admittedly neurotic minpin has very strong “YOU’RE NOT MY MOM” energy. He has failed two dog walkers before Dave, seeing as they couldn’t even get him out of the house because he kept trying to nip their fingers with the few teeth he has left. After reading Dave’s reviews I decided to give it one more shot. Dave blew my mind when he sent me photos of Big Bear out and about, riding shot gun in the car, traipsing around the dog park. My beloved pain in the butt little dog won’t even let some of my FAMILY members take him out, more so since he’s gone completely blind. AMAZING. Highly recommend!”

“Gaby has been so great with my dog, Lily! She has been giving her walks multiple times a week for the last few months and has been nothing but reliable. She is very responsive and communicative and has even been able to help me out with caring for my dog on short notice at times! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or petsitter!”

About: I offer lifelong experience with high energy dogs and structured care. Growing up with two family Vizslas from puppyhood to adulthood, I understand the dedication, patience, and mental stimulation required for active, sensitive breeds. I am a recent graduate currently waiting to start a new job in Boston this upcoming September so I am free full time during this transition period. Safety, security, and peace of mind are my top priorities when caring for your pets in your home. I treat your space with the utmost respect and strictly follow all custom instructions from precise feeding schedules and medication routines to house rules and secure door/gate checks.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and energy I bring to every pet I care for. I treat every animal like they’re my own — with patience, playfulness, and lots of love. I naturally connect with animals and have a calm, comforting vibe that even shy or nervous pets respond to. I have experience with puppies, so I know how to handle accidents, training routines, and all that wild puppy energy! I’m also great with senior dogs — I know how to move slow, be gentle, and pay attention to their special needs like meds, shorter walks, or extra care. I’m very observant and reliable, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos, messages, and videos so you feel 100% secure while you’re away. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to your pet like they’re my best friend (because they are 🐾💛). Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I love being around animals and spending time outdoors. I have a flexible schedule, which means I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care during the week and on weekends. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can easily fit pet care into my routine and give your pet the time, attention, and love they need. I make sure to stick to your pet’s usual schedule to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. For me, pet care doesn’t feel like “work” it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and peaceful space where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, playtime, and cozy spots to rest. I keep a calm environment with lots of love, gentle attention, and consistent routines just like at home. When I care for pets in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully so the pet’s schedule stays the same feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and any medication. I also take care of small things like cleaning up after them, refreshing water bowls, and sending cute updates so the owner feels at ease. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I always make the pet feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own.

“Robert is the best! Always on time, reliable, and Alfredo comes home happy and tired after his walks. We’re so happy to have found someone we can trust with our boy and would absolutely recommend!”

About: Hi - My name is Sarah, and I am a life-long dog and cat owner who can't wait to meet your fur baby! Dogs have always had a particularly special place in my heart; when I was a kid, I knew the names of every dog in my childhood neighborhood. I have experience walking, playing, feeding, and doing some light grooming of dogs since I was twelve years old. I have experience playing with, feeding, and doing some light grooming of cats since about the same time. I have also owned mice and hamsters at various points throughout my life. I have a gentle demeanor that makes animals naturally trust me. I am just as happy to be playful or cuddle on the couch with a pet, and I am naturally cautious, making sure to build trust with pets so they can get to know and feel comfortable with me. I look forward to caring for your pets!! I am an educator who is off for the summer, so my week day availability is very open until the end of August. After August, I will still be available nights and weekends. I will work with the safety measures you have in place at your home. I will keep a watchful eye on your pets inside and outside. I have experience crating dogs and can do that if necessary. I will also make sure leashes and harnesses fit well and are not frayed or torn.

About: Preferred Name: Del I adore animals, and as far as I can tell the feeling is mutual. Roommates, partners, and friends are always impressed by how quickly their pets take to me and jokingly complain that I'm "stealing" them away. I've cared for pets in my family since I was 12. I'm an enthusiastic walker and I'm adamant about keeping cats and dogs stimulated with playtime. Currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'm free to devote all I can to taking care of your lovely critters. I make visits and house stays as appropriate. Meticulous about following pet care instructions to a T as you know your pet better than I ever could. Will make sure that your pet is stimulated, fed, loved, and cared for so that your absence goes hopefully as unnoticed as possible.

About: I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, bunnies, hens and roosters. I have never lived without caring for an animal! I love being outside, going for walks, playing and gardening. I am a mom of two school-aged boys and a proud owner of two tuxedo kitties whom we adopted nine years ago. I work part-time in the afternoons as an outdoor preschool art specialist. I am free between 9:30 am, and 1 pm everyday, and Wednesday and Thursday until 3 pm! I may also have early evenings free starting at the end of June. I have plenty of time in my schedule to help you care for your animals. Looking forward to meeting them! I am fun, gentle, playful and caring, and have a good instinct for what dogs and cats need. I can read body language and am sensitive to energy. I look forward to learning more about your pets from you, getting to know them and forging a relationship.

“Great dog walker!”

About: Lifelong dog owner & runner. I have a Vizsla and understand high energy breeds exercise needs and the play/affection of all dogs! Looking forward to bonding with your 🐕 and making sure they are healthy and happy! I work 3 12hr shifts at a hospital and have the flexibility to help with morning, afternoon or evening walks on several days a week. I’m a very active person and constantly out with my own dog. It’s my happy place to be outside and I’m looking forward to helping your dog walking or drop-in visit needs while you are away or at work. Please let me know your dog’s particular needs for drop-in visits. Any food/treats or medication they may need. Any allergies. If a dog walk, please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs or timid (if I should cross the street to avoid another dog interaction). This way I can ensure a safe and happy walk for your dog!

About: Hi folks, I've always loved animals and it is a personal goal of mine to befriend any animal I meet (furry or not). At a party, you are most likely to find me at either the snack table or hanging with the animals or children. Especially with dogs, I give off a very playful energy, but I'm also a big snuggler and will give scritches to a furry friend for hours. I have experience living with and caring for dogs, cats, and rats. In addition, I have some training knowledge and will give positive reinforcement for good behavior and avoid reinforcing undesirable behavior. I'm currently working part time and usually have availability in the late mornings or early afternoons. If I plan ahead I can potentially be available later in the day, in the evenings (I'm a night owl), or even some weekends. In your own home or if I go on walks, I will ask questions to gain knowledge about temperament, comfort around other animals, and general house rules and preferences. I always ensure harnesses and leashes are secure and I have enough strength and good reaction time to hold on tightly if a dog pulls. When I approach a shy animal that is unfamiliar with me I am patient and offer a sniff of my hand first before giving pets, and I will pull away as soon as the animal signals discomfort.

About: As a former dog dad, I treat every pup like family! I’m patient, great with large dogs, and committed to keeping your furry friend safe, happy, and loved. 🐾 My active lifestyle makes it easy to fit walks, playtime, and pet care into my routine. I’m happy to make time for your pup and give them the attention, exercise, and love they deserve! I have a cozy 2-bedroom home, a fenced yard, dog-friendly furniture, and an amazing wife. Your pup will feel right at home! Also I provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s home by maintaining their regular routine, ensuring their comfort and safety, and providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection.

“Great communication before and after the walk. Sonia was very accommodating and we felt very comfortable with our 6-month old puppy in her care. Would recommend!”
