“Alex took care of my cats while we were away, they were well taken care of and we received a lot of communication and both cats warmed up to him very quickly!”

“Don was fantastic with my 9-month old puppy. He is reliable and prompt for the drop in visits. I could tell during the meet & great that my pup already liked him. He fed, walked and even did some training (loose leash walking, stay and come) which was very appreciated. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands on experience with both cats and dogs. I’ve rescued and cared for kittens, helped train dogs, and have plenty of experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets on their usual routine. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and enjoy getting to know each pet. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can usually accommodate different times with advance notice. know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I always want you to feel comfortable and reassured. I’ll treat your pet like my own, follow their routine and your instructions, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away if you want!

“Joanne was awesome! It's so evident that she cares for animals, and she sent us updates with pictures during each visit. I would 100% trust her with our fuzzies again.”

About: Reliable and caring dog walker who is passionate about providing safe, fun, and enjoyable walks for every dog. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love while in my care. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! I work full time as an operating room nurse. I am available on the weekends and have most mondays off. Also available for evening walks. I care for every pet as if they are my own. In a client's home I would follow protocols set by owner and accomodate to whatever dog's needs are.

About: I like to think of myself as someone your dog—and maybe even you—will look forward to seeing. I’m a companion for you and your dog. I bring warmth, playful energy, and a touch of charm to every visit, making sure the client and your pet feels loved, happy, and completely at ease. I specialize in: Senior dogs: Patient, comforting care with plenty of attention High-energy dogs: Engaging play that leaves them tired and content Every visit is tailored to your pet’s personality, and I take pride in creating a connection that’s fun, comforting, and full of positive energy. Your dog will adore me—and I like to think their humans do, too. 😉with dimples Caring for pets isn’t just part of my day—it’s one of the highlights. Every morning are reserved for stretches, exciting playtime, —whatever the client craves to stay stimulated and satisfied. Check-ins with clients are all about feeding, cuddles, and playful attention to keep the tail wagging. Afternoons are reserved for energy, and a little fun, for the pup making sure everyone stretches their legs and starts the day happy. Evenings? That’s cuddle, brush, and relax time, helping your furry friend wind down and feel cozy. I like to think my schedule keeps pets and clients excited, comfortable, and looking forward to every interaction. Each day is tailored to your dog’s personality and energy, so they’re not just cared for—they’re spoiled in the best possible way. 😉with dimples. Animals need to be taken care of like a child. Depending on the age. They just need to be love just like how we search for love ourselves.

About: I have grown up with animals all my life! I first started walking my neighbors German Shepard when I was 12 years old and I grew up with three cats in the our household. I had my own dog Guiness who was a silly goofy boxer until last year. I’m comfortable around any size dog as well as cats I have a unique work schedule where I have pretty early shifts so please take a look before scheduling! I work Sunday 9am-3pm, Monday 7am-4:30pm, Tuesday 6am-3pm, Wednesday 7:30-3:30p as well as later a shift on Thursdays 12pm-8pm so I have availability most people won’t have with an 8am-5pm job. With working Sunday-Thursdays, I’m available all day On Fridays! When I had my dog this schedule was really nice so he would only be left alone at home for around 4 hours at a time. I know how important it is to make sure your pet gets their energy out and bathroom breaks when you’re not there. I make sure any environment I’m in is clean and pet friendly whether that means crating your dog if they need to be after visiting or making sure I’m aware of my surroundings in walks. My dog was reactive towards other dogs so I have experience with reactivity and will be aware of other dogs while on walks. During visits I would love to play with your pet with their toys, puzzles, or lick mats whatever they need I’m there! I do have experience giving dogs medication as well if that’s something you need! I don’t have experience giving cats medication.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I’m currently caring for two golden doodles, Muffin & Brandy, for the summer. If you ask them, we have a great routine of food, sleep and play! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.

About: I have had dogs my whole life! I have had numerous jobs caring for and staying in homes to care for pets while families are away. I am currently available for quick visits or even longer stays! My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so I am happy to be of help where/when needed! I have two English Cream Golden Retrievers at home on an electric fence. Happy to discuss your home requirements when it comes to your pup!

About: I’m reliable, calm, and very detail-oriented. I give pets a lot of one-on-one attention and make sure they feel comfortable right away. I’m great with shy or anxious dogs, and I’m very patient with senior pets who need slow walks or extra care. I’m also strong with communication — I send regular updates, pictures, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. You can count on me to be on time, follow your routine exactly, and keep your pet safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I keep a very flexible schedule. I’m home often throughout the day, which means I can handle morning, afternoon, and evening walks or check-ins without rushing Safety is my top priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I always follow your routines exactly as you describe them. I keep a close eye on pets during walks, use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure they’re always supervised. I never rush, and I make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and comfortable.

About: I’ve been raising dogs since i was a child. I’ve had 4 dogs throughout my life. Out of the most recent 2, one was a senior with heart problems so i have much experience with older dogs and giving medicine if necessary. My other dog is a rescue, i’ve raised since she was 3 months old. In addition to behavioral classes i took with her, i’ve potty trained, crate trained and trained her to have basic skills myself. I’ve raised most of my dogs (there was one adult rescue) from puppy to senior years so i hold much experience with dogs in these age ranges. I can care for dogs that are of all skill levels and ages. My dog and i are able to adapt to any energy level your pup may be at and will always care for them as if they are my own. I currently work full-time but luckily I am hybrid. I work in office Mon, Tues, and Thurs. Otherwise, I will normally always be with your pet unless i must go out and run errands. However, i also love to take my dog wherever i go as long as i know i’m making a quick stop, so if your dog loves car rides we will be together most of their stay. During 2025 holidays i will be at home full time until 1/4/26 I have one sweet puppy who loves other dogs and will gladly welcome them into the home. i tend to keep the house pretty tidy so my dogs can’t get into anything. If there’s anything specific your fur baby needs to avoid let me know. Lastly, i have a camera in my home to watch my puppy if i’m away and as my client i can provide footage of their stay to keep you at comfort.

“Ana is the best! She’s super responsive and makes sure my kitties are happy and loved while I’m away. So thankful for her for being so caring and attentive.”

“Caroline is so caring and reliable! She took very good care of our dog while we were out of town. I felt very comfortable knowing she was in such good hands.”

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a baby. I had two boxers named Harley and Pedi, then a bulldog named Chumley, and now I have a bulldog named Lola and I can’t picture my life without any of them. I love to play with them, walk them, take them on adventures, snuggle, and have fun with them. My current dog is basically my baby I love her so much! I recently moved out, but Lola comes and stays with my boyfriend and I half the time. Her being around or not can be an easy thing to work around. The new house I moved into has a wonderful yard for dogs to run around in! It’s a very family friendly neighborhood. I am currently a full time hospital worker, working 4 shifts in the week. I have plenty of flexible time on the weekends, and weeknights as well. I usually have one day off in the next that rotates. My home has a fenced in yard, it’s a perfect size to run around in. My bull dog Lola loves the yard when she is over. We have a very safe neighborhood where Lola and I enjoy walks. My boyfriend works from home so when I’m at work he’s able to keep an eye on her. She eats twice a day, loves to play (especially when she gets zoomies), loves to snuggle in the evenings. Caring for pets in my home or another home I would follow any instructions from the owner and ensure the dog is comfortable and having fun!

About: Hey my name is Marina and I've loved animals since the day I was born. Large, small, slimy, or fluffy I love them all. Over the past 10 years I've volunteered for animal rescues across massachusetts. Working with animals from cats and dogs to alpacas and goats. I have training dealing with feral and shy cats as well as animals with an array of conditions requiring daily medication and intervention. Trusting someone with your fur babies is incredible hard, but know when your pet's with me your leaving them with someone who is guinely happy to be spending time with them. Hope to hear from you soon! I'm currently a full time pet sitter and dog walker. Animals are my life if im not volunteering im hanging out with my fur babies I'm fully understanding of many situations and circumstances. I'm always willing to adapt and to learn. Thats honestly the best part about working with animals is I'm always learning.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. Growing up with pups taught me how to read their body language, keep them safe, and give them the exercise they need. I regularly provide sitting and walking services for friends and family when they travel. I take deep pride in caregiving. When your dog is with me, they are treated exactly like a member of my own family! While I work full-time, my schedule is incredibly flexible and allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. I have the freedom to manage my time throughout the day, meaning I can easily step away for mid-day drop-ins, regular potty breaks, and structured walk times.Whether your pet needs morning company, a afternoon stretch, or evening feeding, I can adapt my routine to keep their schedule perfectly consistent. You can rest easy knowing I will be there whenever your pet needs me! When caring for your pets in your home, my top priorities are maintaining their exact routine and keeping your property secure. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I strictly follow your rules for feeding, exercise, and bedtime.I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping areas clean and ensuring all doors and gates are locked tight during every visit. I also provide regular text and photo updates so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing both your pet and your home are in safe hands.
