professional animal lover

Pet care experience

I graduated college in 2021 and am working as a neuroscience research assistant in the Boston area. I was a full time dog walker for about a year before starting my current job and have lots of experience with waking/sitting dogs of all sizes and ages. I have always been an animal lover and grew up with a labrador, I now have my own lab who is my pride and joy. In college, I worked with a service dog training program where I learned a lot about positive reinforcement training. If you and your dog has any specific training things you're working on, I am happy to help! I also have experience with cats, rabbits, birds, and small rodents and am open to taking care of any animal!

Katie was absolutely wonderful watching my bunnies! I received good updates every day about how they were doing, and she looked after them with care. I would trust her to watch my bunnies again.

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any preferences for walking but please let me know of any special care instructions and how your dog is with other dogs and people so I can be prepared on walks.

A typical day

If you want me to work on things such as heeling on walks or other basic training, let me know! I can bring toys and treats if needed. Low photo sending rate is due to a recurring service where I don't send a rover card because the owners are at home, I send rover cards with photos to all other owners.

I work 9am-5pm on weekdays but have fairly flexible evenings and weekends. A note: my work is in Belmont so it may take me a bit longer to get to certain areas at rush hour. Tuesdays and Fridays can be tricky for me, but if you need a service around 5-6pm please reach out because there's definitely a chance I could make it work. Drop ins/walks: anytime on weekends, after 5pm on weekdays, before 9am on weekdays (if location and timing work)
