About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always been involved in caring for them. My own dogs have included seniors who needed extra patience, daily medications and even injections, so I’m comfortable caring for older pets and following specific care routines. I’ve also grown up around and care for many other animals. I have a degree in Wildlife Conservation Biology and gained extensive hands-on animal care experience during my time at Kildare Wildlife Rescue, where I cared for a wide variety of injured and recovering animals. I’m patient, attentive and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m generally working Tuesday-Thursday but I’m available for morning and evening walks or drop-ins on those days. I’m very flexible Monday and Friday-Sunday and can often accommodate daytime visits, house sitting and consistent weekend care. I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I’ll follow your pets normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and health and will keep you updated with photos and messages. I’m also respectful of your home and will leave it clean, secure and just as I found it.

“Dennis was wonderful! He was attentive to my cat, Maho, and communicative with me, too, because when you go away and put your animal in somebody else’s care, you definitely want to know they are taken care of. My cat really liked him. I would definitely hire Dennis again. Dennis did an excellent job. He has a warm personality, too. Don’t be dissuaded by his profile picture (which I suggested he change) because it’s not doing him justice. He’s a good guy.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 12 years. I follow their routine closely, and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job with a flexible schedule, including a few work-from-home days each week, which allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they deserve while their owner is away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I love spending time with dogs, whether we're playing fetch, running, or going for walks. I'm attentive to each dog's needs, moods, and personality, and I find it incredibly rewarding to make a dog happy. Seeing a happy, smiling dog always brightens my day! My experience comes from caring for three dogs: a Golden Retriever whom I cared for from young adulthood through his senior years, a Corgi I've had since he was 10 weeks old, and a senior Australian Shepherd mix. These experiences have taught me to appreciate the unique needs of dogs at different life stages. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have a degree in Biology and have read extensively about positive reinforcement training and canine psychology. I enjoy continually learning about dogs so I can better understand them and provide attentive, compassionate care. I'm reliable, patient, and committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, energy level, and personality, whether that means an energetic walk, a fun game of fetch, or a slower-paced outing with plenty of time to sniff and explore. I am generally available at any time on the weekends and a flexible weekday work schedule that I can work around to be with your pet. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog's personality, needs, and energy level. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining their usual routines as much as possible. I enjoy keeping dogs active through walks, running, and playing fetch, while also allowing plenty of time for sniffing, exploring, and relaxing. I'm attentive to their moods and body language so I can recognize when they need exercise, reassurance, or rest. I understand that every dog is different, and I adapt my approach to suit their age, temperament, and activity level, including the special needs of senior dogs. Having cared for a Golden Retriever from young adulthood through his senior years, raised my Corgi from 10 weeks old, and cared for a senior Australian Shepherd mix, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized attention. My Biology degree and independent study of positive reinforcement training and canine psychology further inform my approach. Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat each pet as an individual and strive to make their time with me a happy, positive experience.

About: Hello! I am Jack. I am in North Cambridge in a private house with a private yard. Please read my reviews. I will treat your pet like my child. You will not have to worry at all. Again I live alone with no pets. My passion and love of animals began in my childhood taking care of my family's pets. We had cats and dogs galore. Now as a grown man I drive Uber and do my art on the side so I have plenty of time for your pet. I love going for walks and exploring nature with them. When your pet is with me, you can trust they’re in good hands. I’m always ready to travel where needed, even on short notice. My goal is to give you peace of mind by ensuring pets are in a safe and loving environment while you’re away. My love and care is tailored to each pet's unique needs. I wake up wanting to love something so why not your pet? Every day your dog will be filled with care, attention, and most importantly love. While I enjoy my morning coffee, your dog gets a tasty breakfast. This sets the stage for a day of fun and relaxation. Once energized, we head out for a refreshing walk tailored to your dog’s needs. Peaceful strolls around the neighborhood or exciting visits to the dog park. If you're comfortable, I encourage social interaction with other dogs, always prioritizing your dog’s safety. I remain attentive to their well-being and follow your guidance on socializing. With love and attention! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When we’re together, you can trust that your furry friend will be in a secure, nurturing environment. We’ll go for enjoyable walks, exploring the neighborhood while ensuring your dog is always safe and happy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or some fun playtime, I make sure your dog enjoys every moment.After our walks, we’ll unwind together in a calm, cozy setting. Whether that means curling up on the couch to watch TV, lounging in the yard, or sitting under a tree to enjoy the fresh air, I’m all about creating a peaceful atmosphere where your dog can relax and feel at ease.I believe that quality time is about more than just activity; it’s also about those quiet moments of companionship that dogs cherish. I’m committed to making sure your dog feels love.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover based in Arlington/Cambridge. I believe every pet has a unique personality and a huge heart—and getting to know them, even without words, is one of the most rewarding parts of my day. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, especially cats, and spent much of my time walking dogs and pet-sitting after school. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with shelters like PAWS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and their no-kill cat shelter, and more recently worked at Animal House Rescue and Grooming in Fort Collins, Colorado while attending college. These experiences have shown me just how meaningful our bond with animals can be. I’ve met animals who were returned to shelters at both 10 months and 10 years old because their humans faced tough circumstances. It broke my heart, but it also deepened my commitment to supporting both pets and their people. I know how much your furry friend means to you, and I understand how busy life can get. Whether you need someone to take your dog on a walk, give them some love while you’re away, or just help lighten your load—I’d be honored to help! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. Whether I’m feeding, walking, playing, or simply spending quiet time with animals, it’s something I truly look forward to each day. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care, making sure they get the attention, structure, and love they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk, an early morning feeding, or a late-night check-in, I’m flexible and committed. Because I live in Bellingham, I’m able to quickly respond to local clients and adjust my routine to fit yours. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like a job to me—it’s a part of who I am. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to maintain their usual routine and environment to help them feel safe and secure. I take the time to get to know each pet’s preferences—whether that’s their favorite toy, a specific walking route, or the way they like to be fed. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and attentive to details, making sure your pet stays happy and your home stays just as you left it. I send regular updates with photos and notes, so you’re never out of the loop while you’re away.

About: I grew up with 4 dogs, and trained them all to be off lease. For your dog, I’ll give lots of walks and updates throughout the day. There’s also a fenced in park close to my apartment that’s perfect for playing. I’ll keep you updated with our activities so you know your dog is being taken good care of. I work a normal 8am-4pm mom-Fri. Therefore, I can board or watch your dogs during the weekend, or after work pickup after 5pm into the next morning pickup before 7:30am during the workweek. I’ll love hanging out with your dog, we’ll go on walks to the park down the street and play as frequently as needed. And I don’t mind if they’re on the furniture in my home. I grew up with several dogs so I’ve seen it all.

Miranda was wonderful: responsive, reliable, and conscientious. She took a last minute booking to care for my 13-year-old diabetic cat Carl when I unexpectedly had to leave town for a couple days. She handled food, water, and meds, making sure to deliver the meds right on time within Carl’s strict schedule. He’s not the friendliest cat but she still made sure to check in on him and make sure he was happy. It’s clear Miranda loves animals and I would absolutely book with her again.

We are SO very grateful we met Christina! She's an outstanding cat sitter, and we greatly appreciated the detailed photos/Rover card!! It was our first time on Rover, and really loved how easy it was to communicate. Christina was a super communicator! We have a special needs older cat, Izzy (14+, fussy eater, just started hyperthyroid meds, was losing weight, plus some other elder cat issues). It was the first time we went away overnight since Izzy's new diagnosis and I admit, I was nervous about leaving her. Christina completely put me at ease and was SO great with Izzy! She even offered some really helpful insights about an elevated food bowl (to help with Izzy's appetite, arthritis, fussy eating). Christina took so much time and such care with Izzy. Thank you so much!
