About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, having looked after them for friends and family in the past. As a genuine pet lover, I enjoy spending time with dogs and ensuring they receive the care and attention they need. Since I work from home, I can easily tailor my schedule to meet the needs of the pets under my care. I have the flexibility to accommodate walks, midday check-ins, or afternoon play sessions based on their needs. Regarding pet care, I'm all about giving each one personalized attention and tailoring activities to fit their unique needs to ensure they're happy and content!

“Thomas is such a gem!!! Book him! He’s punctual, communicates well, and is patient. My dog Cairo is not everyone’s ’cup of tea’ (not that I care, since I love him) but he’s vocal at times from excitement and has high energy as a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. Thomas arrived on time, and took Cairo on an hour long dog walk. Although it was 80+ degree humid weather with no breeze, he did it with a smile on his face. Moving forward, whenever I need a walker for Cairo (most likely 1x weekly), I will contact Thomas to check his availability. And next time Thomas, I’ll have a nice cold unopened bottled water for you. Thomas, thank you for bonding with Cairo and accepting his high energy level. Not sure if you’re told this enough, but you are absolutely amazing!”

“Michael walked my 3 year old golden retriever, Waffles, for four afternoons. Waffles sometimes pulls on the leash and sometimes not. Michael in his own quiet way was clearly in control and Waffles liked him immediately. I recommend Michael.”

“Jordan has been amazing with Maple since day one. Maple absolutely adores her, which made it an easy decision to have Jordan start walking her too. She’s always communicative, reliable, and goes above and beyond with any little requests we’ve had. We truly appreciate the care and attention she gives to Maple!”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for animals—including multiple cats and a beloved dog growing up—I understand the unique personalities and needs of both feline and canine companions. I currently share my home with a sweet cat, and I treat every pet I care for like family. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some comforting company, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care. I currently work full time (hybrid) as an accountant and am open to discussing a schedule that works best for you and your pet! On typical work from home days and weekends I am flexible with pet care throughout the day, and office days I am available before 7:30 am and after 5:30 pm. I value pets safety and would carefully follow instructions and limitations/resources for each pet within their home. We have an indoor cat and I understand the importance of keeping them safe!

“Hannah braved the cold over the holiday weekend to make sure Luther had some outdoor time and activity wearing it outerwear. I really appreciate it!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover in North Cambridge with a flexible schedule, perfect for last minute walks or regular routines in Cambridge & Somerville. I grew up with a Labrador Retriever (Chance 🪽) and a Beagle/Basset mix (Bailey 🪽), and more recently, my family rescued a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix (Tucker) and a Blue Heeler mix (Jax). I also have recent hands on experience caring for dogs full time. I cared for my roommate’s dog full time for months; managing daily walks, feeding, and playtime. I also provided extended care for a friend’s dog, including daycare, overnight stays, and administering medication multiple times a day. These experiences helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and an attentive approach to each dog’s unique needs. What you can expect: • Reliable, on-time walks & drop-ins • Safety-first approach (leashed at all times, avoiding triggers) • I will never introduce your dog to other dogs without your explicit permission • Personalized care (pace, water breaks, plenty of sniff time!) • Photo updates every visit so you know your pup is happy I love walking the Somerville Community Path and exploring new routes, but I’m always happy to follow your dog’s favorite paths. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, nervous dogs, and those who are reactive; I’ll adjust to your dog’s unique needs. 🐾 Message me anytime, I respond quickly and am happy to do a free meet & greet! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for your pets throughout the day (drops ins, last minute needs, and regular routines). I treat every pet like they’re my own, with a lot of attention, care, and respect for their routines. I make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m mindful of any rules or preferences the owner has, so pets get consistent care that feels familiar.

“Dakota was so great with my pup! She took care of my pup’s daily walks for a week on short notice, asked thoughtful follow up Q’s and gladly helped with additional tasks. Definitely book her! 10/10 :)”

“Melissa is wonderful! She has been our regular walker now for over a month and she is always super communicative, reliable, and kind. Our dog is a bit older and has a few health issues and Melissa is always very sweet and gentle with him. It’s clear she has a deep love of animals. We feel lucky to have found her!”

About: I've cared for my family's dogs my whole life & now have my own 1 year old pup. I am a very active girl and I have always prioritized taking dogs for long walks or to the park to let their energy out. We usually do a minimum 3 walks/day. I believe dogs deserve a good play time rather than just sitting in the house all day! I also am experienced in bathing, feeding, and giving loving attention to my dogs. I know how hard & expensive it can get trying to book a sitter in the area as I’m often paying > 60/night for my own dog. I keep my rates reasonable for exceptional care. I am studying for my board exams and currently at work on Mondays and Wednesdays until 7 pm. I am very flexible with other times during the week and on weekends and have a car if you need me to provide transportation. I live in a spacious 2 floor apartment and am close to popular dog walking spots near the wharf. If your pet has a favorite spot I would love to take them there.

About: Since college I’ve taken care of dozens of pets including my brother’s terrier/chihuahua mix Cricket. Ready to feed, walk, bathe and whatever else your pup needs. I work from home every day except Tuesday and Thursday, and am flexible on WFH days! Most weekends are free too and I’m flexible on pick up/drop offs based on your schedule. I live in a quiet neighborhood with 3 dog parks within walking distance. Plenty of safe outdoor places for pups to run and play depending on their preferences.
