About Haven J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
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!
Information Haven J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how your dog does around other dogs of various sizes, as well as how your dog responds to strangers who would like to pet him/her (kids specifically). If your dog has any specific fears or triggers (examples I’ve had before include skateboards, bicycles, and “tall men”), please share those with me too!
A typical day
I’ll scout out a good walking path in your area, so once I pick up your pup we will take an adventure and find somewhere to walk with lots of exciting smells to sniff! If a dog park or safely fenced-in green space is within walking distance, we can get a good game of fetch in before it’s time to go home!

Cat mom who loves doggos too!
Pet care experience
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!

Reviews
Incredibly responsive and my dog loved her!
Haven is the best! Our dogs Charlie and Cassie absolutely adore Haven. She is responsible, kind, and attentive and also has experience taking care of pets with more complex needs. I trust her 1000% to take good care of my dogs. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
Haven is an exceptional cat sitter! Our Tilly who needs a daily inhaler for allergies has become accustom to Haven’s love and attention in administering the inhaler. Haven knows all her hiding spots and sends us pictures during her visit, this brings us so much joy and comfort for as you know. Tilly is part of our family and Haven is now considered “Auntie”! Highly recommend Haven for any and all of your Rover needs.
Haven has done an excellent job with our dog Jed! She has walked, fed and sat him many times and we always feel good leaving him in her care. I would he highly recommend her services to care for your pet.
