You had me at walk

Pet care experience

Since I was 10 years old, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their dog(s). I've stayed overnight at their houses to provide the requested care as well as visits during the day. Additionally I’ve hosted pet(s) overnight.

Sheila was fantastic! Ellie had a great time and Sheila was flexible and communicative. Grateful to have a reliable and kind sitter for our pup!

Sheila was fantastic! She was very interactive with our dogs and attentive their needs. She is thoughtful and is a good, detailed communicator to us about our pups. We hope to see her again soon!

Sheila was excellent with our dog, Millie. She stayed at our home with Millie for two nights and took good care of her while we were traveling. She kept us updated on how Millie was doing and this made the whole family feel good. We highly recommend her!

Shelia was great watching our two dogs for two night at our house. She kept us up to date with pictures and info every day. The dogs really enjoyed their walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I am an active person. I enjoy running, hiking, and long walks to release energy, especially with a canine campion. I've also brought dogs to local dog parks. I enjoy playing with dogs and even lounging at the house with them. At my apartment, the shared backyard has a fence and an outdoor lead as well.

Information Sheila O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dog’s activity level, dietary needs/restrictions, and any medical concerns. It will also be helpful to share a regular schedule of feeding and walking so I can follow it as best as I can. Please let me know if there’s anything else part of the dog’s routine I should follow.

A typical day

When I serve as a temporary caretaker of the dog, I enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood. If the owner(s) and dog(s) are comfortable with car rides and other locations, I will bring the dog(s) on outdoor adventures, such as a hike on Blue Hills or run around Castle Island or visit an outdoor and pet friendly venue. On hot days I also set up a sprinkler outside to help cool down. For indoor activities, I typically play tug-o-war and fetch to help release some energy.
