“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.

“Nancy was great with my Setter Georgie! Many people say they'll treat your pup like he/she was theirs. Nancy truly does that! She is quick to respond, on time and my Setter loves his walks with her.”

About: I first started caring for dogs when I was 11 and my family adopted our then 12-week old puppy, Tulip (beagle-hound mix). I was the primary one responsible for her feeding and afternoon walks throughout middle and high school. I also routinely dog sat for neighbors who at the time had a senior poodle, providing daily drop ins and walks. Since moving to Boston, I have been fortunate to become a regular dog walker for neighbors and friends, with experience walking shihtzus, German shepherds, labs, and boxers. While I now own two cats, I would love to get outside and enjoy the summer weather with some new four-legged friends! I work for the public schools, so I am off all summer! I am happy to provide drop-ins or walks throughout the morning and afternoon M-F, with some availability on select Saturday and Sunday afternoons. **School ends on June 26th this year - on dates marked as available prior to June 26th, I can only accommodate afternoon walks between 2:30-7pm. I have cared for puppies all the way up through seniors dogs in their final days, so I am happy to accommodate the specific needs of your dog based on age and temperament. It is my existing habit to send a photo to friends of their dogs every time I visit or take them on a walk, as a way of making sure they know I have actually completed the service and their dog has been properly cared for!

About: Hi! I’m a warm, caring, professional dog walker looking to add some walks and boarding to my schedule. I absolutely love dogs, and will treat yours as if it were my own with all the love, care and attention they deserve! I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, and even have experience with more reactive pups. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I am a professional dog walker with a local company two days a week, but am looking to add more walks and visits to my schedule. When I’m not dog walking, I’m working on building a sustainable swimwear brand from home, so I have lots of flexibility to work around your schedule. I don’t have any pets of my own, so yours will be the center of attention! I live on the second floor of a two family condo building. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but I live right off the Neponset River Trail and there are lots of great walking route and trails in my neighborhood. If your pet is used to sleeping in your room with you at night, I am happy to have them in my room, and can accommodate crated or uncreated dogs. In general I try to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.

About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.

“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”

About: I’ve owned pets of all kinds growing up and naturally love animals. I’m responsible and have experience caring for animals, I do have pets and many family with pets. I will make sure I’m monitoring my request and a give a same day response as to my availability. I do work part time so it’s possible this may affect availability. I love to pet and play with animals, every animal is different though so I make sure to be aware of body language. Whatever the animal needs I’m there wether it’s walks, play, or usually attention

“Although our schedules didn't match to do a meet and greet beforehand, Kathleen was reliable and right on time to walk our puppy. She left fantastic notes and pictures in Rover for us, and we know our pup had a fantastic time with her. Her communication is excellent, and we would/will happily use her again!”

About: I have never owned my own dog or cat (due to brothers allergies) so I grew up determined to find ways to hang out with other peoples! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all types/ages/personalities. I hope I get the chance to meet your furry friend! I’m currently unemployed, training for a Pilates instructor certification and so I have ample time to look after, feed, and play with the pets! I keep a very clean apartment, with an extra deep clean before pets arrive to ensure nothing is stepped on or eaten, I have ample space for the pet to have their own area or hang out with me and not feel cramped.

“Zach has been a lifesaver. He is available on short notice and really loves my girl Ella. She loves him too! He always sends updates about his timing and leaves detailed notes about the visit. Highly recommended.”

About: Hi, I’m Gisele, a college student and lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I grew up surrounded by dogs in my family, including rescue dogs, so I’m very comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to dogs that need a bit more patience, structure, or gentle care. I’ve been dog sitting since I was young, helping care for family pets over the years and building strong, trusting relationships with them. I’m attentive, reliable, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously because I know they’re part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your dog company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part time over the summer and in school during the fall and spring. My schedule leans more morning heavy so I am highly available in afternoons and evenings Monday through Saturday! I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort so I can adjust my approach based on what each dog needs! I make sure the home stays safe and secure at all times, either by keeping doors locked, being mindful during walks, or never leaving pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also focus on creating a calm, consistent presence so the dog feels relaxed and comfortable while their owner is away! My goal is to make the experience as stress free as possible by keeping things familiar, structured, and full of care and attention.
