About: I am very active and love a long walk in Boston! Iâve grown up taking care of a variety of animals including Great Danadoodles, Maine Coons, Golden Doodles, and Manx cats I am available on the weekends or during the work week (6am-8am or 6pm-9pm). Happy to do long walks or feedings, as well as house sitting. I make sure to communicate expectations and instructions well in advance to ensure your pet is provided the best experience and to make sure I respect your personal belongings.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up in a household with multiple dogs of different breeds and sizes, including Toy Poodles (Poodle mixes), Golden Retrievers, Samoyeds, and mixed-breed dogs. Iâm very comfortable caring for both small and large dogs, and Iâve been involved in daily walking, feeding, playtime, and companionship from a young age. I also have experience caring for cats, so I understand their personalities, habits, and daily needs. After coming to the U.S. for school, I regularly helped care for my auntâs small-to-medium mixed-breed dog (a Chihuahua mix), including walking, spending quality time together, and providing daily care. I truly love animals of all kinds and enjoy building trust and connection with them. Being able to earn some income while spending time with animals and making new furry friends is something that genuinely makes me happy. I always treat pets with patience, care, and respect, as if they were my own. I recently graduated and have a very flexible schedule. Iâm available for dog walking and drop-in visits daily between 10:00am and 6:00pm, including weekdays and weekends. I do not offer in-home boarding and only provide dog walking and drop-in visits. For safety, I walk small to medium dogs only. During visits, I send frequent photo and video updates and will immediately notify owners of any concerns or unusual behavior.
âSo wonderful working with Stephanie! Sheâs so sweet to my dog and very communicative on the app. Nothing I would change I feel very lucky my dog gets to hang out with her đâ

About: I have had dogs ever since I was born. I had a boxer named Gunnar until I was 12. I had a Havanese, Cody, he was my baby. I currently have Bailey(13), Blaze(3), and Goose(1), all golden doodles (at home in NH). I am currently a graduate student at BU. I love all dogs, from puppies to senior dogs, and would love to spend more time caring for them now that I am out of basketball season and have the time! I am currently a graduate student at Boston University. This spring, I have 1 class on Monday, 2 on Tuesday, and 1 on Wednesday. Thursday-Sunday, I am very free! I live in a two bedroom apartment alone, so there is plenty of space for the pet to roam around. I can crate the dog if needed/preferred and they can sleep in the office. I also allow my dogs to sleep in the room or on the bed when they visit. I take long walks everyday (dog or not). I love being outside, so the will surely get plenty of outside time.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I volunteered for a full year at a dog shelter, where I walked dogs daily, played with them, helped socialize them, and even welcomed some into my home when they needed extra care or werenât getting adopted. Beyond my shelter work, Iâve also taken care of my own dogs and regularly looked after my auntâs dogs, so Iâm very comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, senior, or somewhere in between, Iâm patient, loving, and always focused on keeping them safe, happy, and relaxed. *For House Sitting*, I donât usually stay overnight with first-time clients. I typically provide evening care if you have plans, or full-day care on weekends (early mornings through nighttime). Iâm currently between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. Iâm available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care, and I can easily adapt to last-minute requests or special routines. When I take care of pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy, just like they would with their own family. I always follow the routine you already have in place â feeding schedule, walk times, treats, training rules, and any special needs.
âOn short notice Tab came over to meet my 4 year old Golden Retriever, Waffles, and then to walk him for a couple of days when I could not. Thomas/Tab is articulate, energetic, responsive and steady. We were having significant subway / metro problems here in Boston and Tab kept me informed. I recommend him wholeheartedly.â

About: Iâve spent my entire life caring for my family's animals (dogs, cats, horses, and cows) and have over 10 years of experience caring for other peopleâs pets. Iâve worked with puppies, seniors, and everything in between, combining consistent training with gentle, patient care. I have a special love for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentleness they deserve. Iâm experienced with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My work is hybrid and I have flexible hours, allowing me to be very available Thursday through Monday and adjust my schedule to your needs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I will respect the house rules you have set for your animal. I strive to be present with your animal the entirety of a house sit, but is the instance that I do need to leave for a period of time I will ensure your animal has its needs met before I leave and will not be gone for more than four hours at a time.
âStacy has been a lifesaver. We moved to the Boston area with little notice, and our mini poodle needed a dog walker on the days me and my spouse were at the office. Stacy stepped in and has taken excellent walks, and is super communicative and responsive. Our pooch and we are super happy with Stacy's service.â

About: Iâve been the âdog personâ in my family and friend group my whole life. Iâve taken care of so many different dogs over the years. People always come to me because they know Iâm gentle, responsible, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with their pets. Iâm the type to sit on the floor with a dog just to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Iâm in grad school only two days a week (tuesdays and fridays), and the rest of the week Iâm home full-time. That gives me plenty of time to be with your dog, keep them on their routine, and give them lots of attention throughout the day. Iâm available for boarding on weekends and for walks/drop-ins during the week and after 3pm on my class days. I try to be really flexible so your pet gets consistent care. I live in a calm, safe neighborhood in a clean, cozy apartment, and I have two roommates who are also huge dog lovers (although they won't be caring after your dog, just me!). I pay close attention to what each dog needsâwhether thatâs space to settle in, extra cuddles, or a quiet spot to relax. I follow your dogâs routine exactly and can crate if needed. Iâll also keep you updated the whole time so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is for your dog to feel cared for, safe, and completely at home.
About: I grew up with 4 dogs who were the best siblings I could ask for. I always helped with feeding, bathing, walking, and keeping them entertained, including caring for our anxious dog who needed more attention. I was always the happiest when my parents allowed them to sleep with me. I moved to the US for college, and had to leave them with my parents in Brazil. They were definitely one of the hardest parts to leave behind and I miss them so so much. This is the first time I don't live with a dog, and I miss being around them, so I thought working with Rover was a great idea for me! I've never had a cat, but family and friends around me have, so I would take care of them often. I'm a full time student, however I always have breaks in between my classes. During these, I can make visits to pets and walk them, and I'm usually free all day on weekends. I plan to follow the policies of each individual client in their homes. I want to learn each pet's favorite places around the house and where they feel more comfortable, where they like to play, etc.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine joy and care I bring into every petâs life. Iâm a bubbly, cheerful person with a big heart for animals, and I truly love getting to know each pet as an individual. Iâm very attentive to their specific needs, routines, and personalities, so they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can fully trust me to care for your pet as if they were my own family. Iâve grown up with dogs and cats and have also volunteered at animal shelters, where I worked with animals of all kinds of personalities â playful, energetic, shy, anxious, and senior pets. Those experiences taught me patience, adaptability, and how important it is to meet animals where they are. Iâve genuinely grown to love every single animal Iâve cared for. I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and compassionate, whether that means sticking to routines, giving extra cuddles, providing enrichment and playtime, or offering calm companionship. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved â and to give you total peace of mind while youâre away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work and study from home. This allows me to be very flexible and available throughout the day to check in on pets, spend quality time with them, and give them the attention they deserve. Iâm able to plan my schedule around their needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just quiet companionship. Because Iâm home most of the time, I can be very attentive and responsive â Iâm not rushing in and out or leaving pets alone for long periods. I truly enjoy building time into my day to play, cuddle, and care for animals, and I always make sure their routines are followed closely. Providing consistent, loving care is something I take seriously, and having this flexibility allows me to care for pets to the fullest extent and give pet parents peace of mind. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, my top priorities are respect, trust, and consistency. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and any special preferences their pet may have. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I am extremely respectful of my clientsâ homes, space, and privacy, and I treat every home as if it were my own. When meeting pets for the first time, I always enter calmly and gently so they donât feel startled or overwhelmed. I take time to let each pet warm up to me at their own pace and focus on building a healthy, loving bond based on trust. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. By combining clear communication, attention to detail, and lots of love, I ensure pets receive the highest level of care and pet parents feel completely at ease.
âPaul walked our puppy for an hour two days in a row. He was timely, friendly, and communicative. He cared for our puppy well and we look forward to using him again.â

âEmma is amazing. Great at communication, trustworthy and absolutely amazing with my dog. He is always looking forward to his walks with Emma and will for sure miss her!â

âSarah was excellent! My dog, who can me unpredictable around new people, warned right up to her. I could relax at work knowing she was coming to take my dog for some exercise and show him some love. Would definitely book her again.â

Sophia was amazing! She was quick to respond and set up a meet-and-greet with our dog, Bear, before walking to make sure he was comfortable. She sent daily report cards with lots of pictures and updates, and it was clear that Bear was having a great time. We really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was, and we would absolutely book with her again!

Nick is very pleasant and he responded very quickly to the request for a dog walker for my two beagles. It was a very smooth process to set up an appointment that worked for me. He came for a meet and greet which allowed me to feel confident that the dogs would be fine with him.. Nick arrived on time the day of the walk and was very responsive to Copper and Casey.needs. I will definitely reach out to h8m for dog walking 8n the future!

Reilly was phenomenal! Even though I was booking last-minute, Reilly still made time for a meet-and-greet and was super communicative throughout. I received adorable pictures of my dog having a great time, and I could relax, knowing that my dog was well taken care of. Reilly is thoughtful and friendly, and I will definitely be looking to rebook the next time I need some help!

I booked Ashlin when I desperately needed to find help with my dog very last minute. She was very quick to respond and was so flexible! She was able to do a quick meet & greet with my slightly anxious dog the same day. You can tell she truly loves dogs. My dog became comfortable with her in no time! She was on time, if not early, and took such good care of Mello. She was attentive to the details I gave about Mello and I definitely plan on hiring her again!
