Sarah was awesome at accommodating a last min walk and was so sweet with my pup. She asked great questions and was nice enough to leave out fresh water for my dog when she left. We look forward to having Sarah help again soon!

About: Since I can remember, I have always been an animal lover. There has never been a time in my life when I haven't had a dog or was helping to care for a friend or neighbor's dog. In 2003 while living alone in New York City, I adopted an 8-week-old pit bull / Lab mix who I was lucky enough to have in my life for 16 years! Lexie was the most loyal and loving dog, and my experience raising him encouraged me to help other dogs in need. After moving home to Boston in 2004, I started volunteering for the Milton Animal Shelter and MSPCA, walking dogs and helping to clean their cages. I also joined a local pit bull rescue where I would work at various adoption events, conduct home visits for potential adoptees, and speak to elementary classes about dog safety and how to be compassionate towards animals. I also completed a week-long course at the Boston Animal Rescue League to help shelter volunteers get a better understanding about the individual personality and needs of the dogs in their care. In 2014 I started a dog walking business on the side which was very rewarding. I had 3-5 dogs I cared for daily and loved the opportunity to work from home as a graphic designer, and get out of the house and play with so many amazing dogs during the afternoon. My husband and I have two children ages 9 and 7, and the most playful, well-tempered 2-year-old Boston Terrier, Rocket. He gets along with all people and dogs and would love another dog or two to play with during the day. Both my husband and I work from home and can assure you that your pet will have all the love, care, and attention it needs while you're away. Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you, Andrea My husband and I both work from home Monday through Friday and can assure you that your pet will have all the love, care and attention it needs while you're away. They are welcome to roam our home and we have a fenced in yard which they would always be supervised in. We also have a crate if they ever wanted some alone time.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past year, I have also walked dogs in my neighborhood and truly love it. I have experience with daily pet care such as walking, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. I treat every pet with patience and care, as if they were my own. I’m currently a student on vacation, so my hours are very flexible throughout the week and weekends, so I can accommodate depending all your pets needs. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel comfortable and secure. I follow all care instructions carefully and supervise pets at all times, making sure their needs are met. I also send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while away. With experience caring for cats, dogs, and small pets, I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and wellbeing.

About: I have been around dogs my entire childhood, and I have had three of my own throughout my life. I grew up training, walking, cleaning, and playing with dogs every day. I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to make house visits! I am an athlete with different training each day, so I can be pretty flexible with my availability throughout the week. I am generally available on week nights and can check in on your dog multiple times each day. I can care for your dog by letting them outside during your preferred times, taking them for walks, cleaning them, and playing with them. I am able to work with multiple dogs as well!

Karin does such a good job with my animals. My dog loses his puppy mind whenever she shows up, and it’s so obvious how much she loves animals and adores our dog. She has watched our cats as well and given them medicine, and they like her too 🙂 10/10 would recommend Karin!!
