I work as a full time artist from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to take dogs out for walks during the day or watch dogs in my own home while you're away.

About Daphne V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm on a first floor of a two-family home. Dogs typically like to sleep in our living room, on the couch or next to our bed. Able to accommodate an owner-provided crate if needed. Close proximity to a park for playtime, pee breaks.
Home
Information Daphne V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know how your dogs behave around other dogs and humans so that I can keep them safe. If they have any chewing or other behaviors I should know about, please let me know. I do not accept dogs with destructive chewing, aggression or resource guarding, or dogs with tendencies to bark a lot inside the house. Would also love to know how they do on a leash, what their favorite treats are, and how they react around women/men. I am a woman and am married to a 6’3” male, who’s also a dog lover (we’ll surely compete to be your dog’s favorite)
A typical day
Always start the day with a pee break and then right to breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll take our first walk of the day. Throughout the day, I’ll take your dog out for pee breaks, and we’ll finish the day with another walk. For dogs that are able, we’ll shoot for at least 2 miles per day. In the evening, we’ll have dinner and cuddle on the couch watching our favorite Netflix show.

Dog Lover in Medford
Pet care experience
Lifelong dog-lover. Obsessed with walks, playtime, and 1:1 attention. Work from home with flexible work schedule - available for walks and boarding. I am a self-employed artist so I have full flexibility to care for your fur babies. Occasionally I do work outside the home for art events, but only for a few hours. I grew up with a golden retriever, Misty from 2000-2010, cementing my love for retrievers. While I’d love my own dog someday, I’m not ready for the full time commitment of my own dog, so sitting for dogs and walking dogs is a great way for me to get that dog fix! I’ve now been working on Rover since April 2025 and have completed over 120 bookings with 30+ clients and have proudly reached star sitter status with all 5 star reviews. Your dog will always be on a leash and will surely be tired out when they are done with me - I frequently walk around the Tufts campus area and can cater your dog’s exercise routine to their specific needs. Dogs will always have ample water and I’ll stick diligently to their dietary needs while in my care. I do not accept pit bulls, chihuahua, german shepherds, dachshunds, corgi or Australian shepherds in my home for boarding, but am open to service them through drops ins/walks. I do not accept dogs with behavior issues including resource guarding, aggression, and destructive chewing. I also do not accept dogs with tendencies to bark a lot, as it’s disruptive to me and my neighbors. When requesting a booking, please provide your dog with a fully completed profile, including their care routine and information on socialization - I do not book clients without this info. When boarding your dog, I’d appreciate that your dog be recently groomed.
Reviews
Daphne V. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.

Daphne was great! I had to book last minute and she was super quick to respond and kind about accommodating my dog. She took the time to ask how to best care for him which made me so feel comfortable leaving him with her. I’ll definitely rebook with her! 10/10 recommend

Daphne is great with our golden doodle Luna! We recommend her in high regards!!

Daphne was great! She was very communicative and our Lab came home happy from her time with her.
