About: I bring over a year of experience as a veterinary assistant, currently work in a doggy daycare, along with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I have worked with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small animals. I can administer oral medications, and am comfortable providing senior and special-needs care tailored to each pet. I’m a true animal fanatic and have dedicated my life to their safety, happiness, and wellbeing! As an at-home college student, I have a flexible routine that lets me dedicate time to recurring drop-ins, walks or house sittings. 🏠🐾 Also, I’ve available for last-minute bookings! In your home, I strive to provide a comfortable, safe, and fun experience for your fur baby 💕 This includes playtime, meal preparation, potty breaks, and walks tailored to their energy level, plus anything else that keeps them happy!

About: Hi there! My name is Jamie, and I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life—I’m a true animal lover at heart. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so dog walking and pet care feel like a perfect fit for me. I currently have a 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix and a 15-year-old cat. Both are incredibly friendly and do great around other animals. I live in a house with a yard (which we plan to have fenced soon) and have a beautiful walking trail right next to my home—perfect for daily walks and fresh air. I’m so excited to meet your fur baby and promise to treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. I’m fortunate to work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I take my dog, Roux, on daily walks, let her out multiple times a day, and even bring her along on car rides. My senior cat enjoys lounging at home and relaxing on the porch on nice days. Pet care is always a top priority for me, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Pets in my home are welcome to roam freely and relax wherever they’re comfortable—including the couch or bed. We love snuggles and are happy to share that same affection with your pet.

About: I have always had pets growing up. I currently have three cats and four dogs. I also have experience watching both cats and dogs. I would love to watch your pets too! I am currently available most days of the week. I work part time nights at a restaurant. On the days I work I am still available to watch/walk your pets before and after my shift. I can watch your cats or dogs whenever I am needed. I have done lots of dog walking in the past and am comfortable with any kind of dog. I would be happy to play with your dogs outside, take them for walks, and even just keep them company.

“Elena was so gentle with Winnie and always went to the extra step to let me know Winnie’s demeanor for the day, she is very reliable and kind!”

“Laura is a gem! I hired Laura to walk Ragnar while my husband was out of town for the week and I was working. She was prompt, excited, and ready for an adventure with treats at the ready every morning! Laura and Rags immediately bonded and he would come back tired and happy! I can’t thank Laura enough and will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I grew up with a Mom who loved animals and was surrounded by pets of all kinds. I have loved and cared for them and enjoyed their unique personalities. When pets are in my care they tend to settle quickly, feel safe, and stay happy while their parents are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and learning their personalities. And if your pet loves to snuggle, they’ll get plenty of affection with me! I want both your experience and theirs to be stress free and fun. You can rest easy knowing your pets will be well cared for, content, and loved by me while you’re gone. I’m available between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm and have a part-time schedule, which gives me the flexibility to fit around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to help during the week as well as on weekends, so your pets can enjoy consistent, loving care even when your schedule changes. I care for pets right in the comfort of their own home, following your instructions and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Services I offer include feeding and refreshing food and water, administering medications as instructed, playtime, enrichment, and companionship, walks and outdoor breaks (for dogs), litter box care for cats, tidying up after visits so your home is left just as I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, calm, and well cared for and for you to return to a happy pet and a tidy home.

“Maeve is a wonderful and reliable dog walker who loves our pups and was especially helpful when we first adopted them. She's especially knowledgeable about Golden Retrievers and gives me lots of helpful advice and suggestions on food, activities, etc. Maeve makes scheduling easy; she's very flexible and easy-going. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello there!! Thank you for checking out my profile. I’m a college student and a dog lover! I’ve taken care of dogs before for family, friends and of course my own furry babies! I have experience with different size dogs, different personalities and different ages. I’m a gentle and loving person, so I know your dog will have fun 💕 I’m a full time college student, so my schedule changes every semester (every 5 months or so). But I can definitely fit pet care in my daily routine. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have experience with dogs that have anxiety, so that wouldn’t be a problem! I love to play, so we’ll have fun play sessions

About: Michael (or Briar as they prefer to be called) have had cats and dogs (of all shapes and sizes) for most of their life, raising many from kittens or puppies to well into their twilight years as a part of their family. This has allowed Briar have experience with all manner of friend, whether they be bundles of energy, trembling balls of anxious fluff, or friends that need way more belly rubs than a hand can give. Regardless your pet, they will always be showered with love and gentle touch when taken care of by Briar! I'm currently working part time, so I am definitely able to stop in, do a check up, give some attention, belly rubs, and love, and be on my way! All Briar wishes for our furry friend(s) is their safety and comfortability, especially when you're away! I want to keep an environment that is familiar and nonintrusive as possible, allowing your ease of mind to match theirs. Quick hello and some extra love will always be given

“Kristen & Bobby are wonderful dog walkers, and human beings. Communication was great, especially with me being out of town for the duration of the time we had them walk Gary. They really love Gary and it showed: they spent lots of time with him and recorded all his poops and pees so we knew when he would need to go next. They even sent pictures to confirm the walk (and Gary was happy in all of them!). They were kind, and even made our six month old daughter laugh and smile. Very professional, on time, and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommended to anyone.”

About: I’m a very active, semi-retired woman who loves building strong, trusting bonds with dogs. My own dog is a 95-lb, 11-year-old Husky mix, so I understand the needs of large and senior dogs. On walks, I focus on engaging your dog’s mind as well as their body—talking to them, encouraging them to use their senses, and making the walk stimulating rather than routine. They’ll come home happily tired and ready for a nap. If you prefer, I can also walk your dog off-leash, provided they have a reliable recall. In addition to walks, I offer drop-in visits and have experience administering medications. I work part-time and generally have a flexible schedule. When I am working, I teach evening classes in Boston, and my schedule shifts every six weeks. Outside of that, I’m usually available and flexible during the day. I am a mature, partially retired professional currently teaching part-time at a university. I absolutely love animals, and they truly keep my soul alive. Alongside caring for them, I stay active with art projects, road cycling, and year-round cold plunges. I am also an experienced sitter with TrustedHousesitters.

“Allison is wonderful! She's great with my dog who can be a little nervous around new people and she treats my dog like her own.”

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years and am a vet tech. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with most breeds. As well as anxious, fearful, aggressive and happy go lucky dogs. I can accommodate to most situations due to my experience. Having been in the vet tech field and a doggy daycare your family member will be in the best hands. A walk by me is full of fun, socialization and overall a good time.

I current work Tuesday - Thursdays with some Fridays added. I hope to take care of your friend on the weekend so you can have fun! Safety is one of my bigger concerns. From making sure your pet is leashed up correctly, to making sure they’re safe on the walk and when they get home.
