About: I've always loved taking care of dogs! I had my first when I was 9, a beagle. Throughout the years I've done various dog-walking and dog/cat sitting for friends and family, and now I miss seeing all the dogs as I live away from them and they have passed :'( On multiple occasions, I took care of two loving but rambunctious pit bulls for weekends and extended periods of time while my friend was away. Gave them medicines, lots of attention, and invigorating walks. I took care of the house while they were away and sometimes stayed overnight. I have experience with dogs that need to be on a tight leash in certain scenarios, and experience allowing them to just have fun in safe spaces. With well-behaved dogs, I've gone on runs in the forest and been able to have them off-leash. I love having a buddy! I care a lot about maintaining the boundaries and rules around how you have trained your pet and keeping their routines. I manage an office nearby Monday thru Thursday, flexible Fridays. The morning walks are reliable and I can message you specifics and sort your dog’s and my schedule around it :) Most days, the afternoon walk can be configured into the schedule. We have a larger yard and no pets living in the house. My sisters nearby both have friendly dogs if yours would like some pals. Some days are busier or have a tighter walk schedule for me, but usually just 2 weekdays, which is why this works for me! I love taking dogs to different adventures like the Fells or games in my backyard, or just hanging out and cuddling :)

We contacted Caitlin late at night after needing a last minute sitter so we could stay on a boat an extra day over the summer! She briefly answered right away at midnight letting me know she was available after a planned farmer’s market visit- I loved her honestly about the time! We were flexible and Caitlin came right around the time she had guessed and took our dog for an extra long walk! She sent pictures of Pepper from along the walk and also sent pictures of her saying hello to our cat inside when she dropped Pepper off! She was very nice and I plan on using her again!

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.

Johnna is fantastic. My boy, Ducky, can be a little nervous around new people, especially in HIS house. However, he warmed up to Johnna right away! She always arrives on time, gives Ducky hugs and scratches, and takes him on long walks. She truly goes above and beyond, which gives me great peace of mind. I will absolutely hire Johnna again to care for Ducky.

About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and of many personalities. I will provide fun, enriching company for your pet, and can assist with all aspects of pet care like food, medication, walks, and sanitation. I have previously owned a reactive dog, and have experience with pets with health issues. Additionally, I have experience with cats, lizards, and fish! Hire me and I will draw your pet free of charge <3 When I am living at home, my life surrounds my dogs. We eat breakfast and dinner at the same time, we go on evening walks. In college, I hope to give myself the space to interact with pets a few times a week, while providing pet care and assistance to anyone who may need it. Within my clients’ homes I make sure to follow all guidelines surrounding where their pet is and isn’t allowed. I do not rush into showing affection, instead letting the pet warm up to my presence in their space, providing them with calm company until they approach me. I always make sure to provide positive reinforcement for good behavior, and work to create a lasting bond with the animals I work with.

Shawn has helped me a number of times take care of my golden retriever and has been a real lifesaver. She is experienced, reliable, clearly cared about my dogs wellbeing and was also a great communicator. She took my dog April for multiple long walks and also figured out how to safely get her some running exercise on a long line. Would definitely recommend Shawn!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. As a retired Division I student-athlete and current graduate student at Tufts, I am dependable, responsible, and highly organized. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. One thing that sets me apart is my patience and ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality. I have experience working with anxious, timid, and shy dogs who need extra reassurance, as well as high-energy dogs who thrive with exercise, structure, and play. As a former Division I athlete, I am also comfortable handling larger, stronger dogs and can confidently keep up with dogs that need long walks, runs, or plenty of activity. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, lots of attention, or simply a reliable person to check in on them, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a graduate student at Tufts University with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop in visit, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and responsive. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I will always follow your instructions closely, keep pets safely leashed during walks, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

Kayla is wonderful! Our 10-month-old puppy, Mochi, is always so excited when she gets to go out with Kayla. Mochi can be reactive when she gets too close to certain triggers, such as birds or other dogs, but Kayla follows our walker’s guide carefully and handles her with patience and confidence. We really appreciate how attentive and reliable she is. We’re repeat clients and highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.

Quinlan has walked my dog twice now, and I've had a great experience. He's punctual and communicative and great with my dog. My first and second walks were quite some time apart and Quinlan handled re-introduction and some initial hesitation from my dog really well. He reported back to me to ease my anxiety and I appreciate and would recommend Quinlan to anyone looking for prompt and positive experience.

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!
