“Eliza came exactly at the requested time and sent a very sweet photo after the walk, gave Ivan a treat and made sure his water bowl was filled. Perfect!”

“Leanne is great. She sent me plenty of pictures during the dog walk and followed all the instructions I gave her. She is also very affectionate towards the dogs.”

Mir Ismail R.

“Elise was great - she has experience with other dogs, including her own, and supported our puppy throughout the walk. We will be sure to book with her again.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Emily! Emily has been walking our dog for the past 5 days, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly kind. You can immediately tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. Our pup took to her right away, which says everything. Emily has been consistent, communicative, and attentive to our dog’s needs and routine. She gives thoughtful updates after walks, which gives me real peace of mind while we’re away. It is such a relief to have someone trustworthy caring for your fur baby, and Emily has absolutely delivered. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely continue using her services. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and amazing with dogs — Emily is the one! 🐕✨”

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life! I am lucky to have cared for pets across their entire lives, from puppy/kitten to lovely senior pets. I am currently volunteering at a cat shelter in Boston and would love to bring that experience to your pets. I love pets of all shapes and sizes, but I absolutely adore caring for big dogs and shy cats. I volunteer at a cat shelter in Boston three days a week, but I am otherwise free all throughout weekdays to look after your pets! I am happy to do morning or midday visits to take special care of your pets. I think it is incredibly important that caring for pets does not disrupt their regular habits or schedule! It's so important to gain the trust of people's pets in order to properly care for them, and so I will do everything I can to make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable while I make sure their needs are met.

About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.

About: As a dedicated dog owner since 2020 and a current medical student with flexible hours, I bring a high level of responsibility, attentiveness, and genuine compassion to pet care. Having managed my own dog’s health, routines, and daily needs for years, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to look after your furry family members. I always prioritize your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness, which is why I only prefer walking or sitting one dog at a time! Whether they need a high-energy walk to burn off steam or gentle companionship while you are away, your pets will be in safe, loving hands. I have plenty of free time during weekdays to drop by for walks, check-ins, or extended daytime care. My open routine allows me to easily accommodate midday walks, feeding schedules, and play sessions, ensuring your pups get all the attention and exercise they need right when they need it. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience and vigilance I would give my own pet. I am careful with secure leash handling, attentive to environmental hazards, and strictly follow any dietary, medication, or behavioral guidelines you provide. You can count on reliable communication, prompt updates, and peace of mind while you're away.

“Excellent reliable dog-friendly walker.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, small mammals, and love all animals! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. Your pets and home will be in safe hands. I am only taking a couple summer classes, so fitting pet care into my schedule will be no problem. Talk to me about your desires and I’ll make it a priority! I love hearing from clients how I can best serve them. I’m very detailed oriented and take pet safety very seriously. Let me know how I can best serve you!

“Julia was great! Totally reliable, pleasant and kind. Our dog can be wary around new people, but he warmed up to her just about instantly. She knows how to work with “nervous” mutts. I’ll definitely request her again if I need a dog walker.”

About: Along with growing up with two dogs and helping to raise a puppy as a teenager, family friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats since I was ten. I've worked with all types of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Pit Bull mixes. I'm the one in my family who takes the dogs out on long hikes (or for short walks around the block once they get older), brushes their teeth and fur, gives them baths, and trims their nails. I'm a regular volunteer at cat shelters in cat care, and as a student on the pre-veterinary track, I have shadowed and volunteered at vet clinics to better understand the care that goes into your pets' health. Besides dogs and cats, I also have experience with a myriad of animals, such as hamsters, rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, mice, fish, hermit crabs, geckos, snakes, tortoises, and turtles. I have experience in preparing special diets for pets and other animals with specific health needs, and in senior dog care. I'm a college student, so I fit bookings around my classes and workload. My classes start at 8 am on weekdays, so my general availability is as follows: Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Available after 11:30 am Tuesday: Available after 6 pm Thursday: Heavier on classes, but I may be able to do a quick drop-in in the morning/evening if needed Weekends: Unavailable 8-10 am Saturdays, otherwise available As a lover of all creatures, I take the safety of both pets and wildlife seriously. As such, I will always supervise pets that are outside in yards and keep them on leashes outside fenced-off areas so they are not a danger to others or themselves. If transporting pets in my car, I will keep them safe and secure in a carrier/crate. As a college student who has shared living spaces with new people before, I understand the importance of respecting others' belongings and boundaries. During drop-in visits, I will be sure to respect your home and any rules you may have for your comfort (i.e. no shoes in the house, specific dishes/silverware for pets only, general cleanliness, etc.).

About: As a lifelong pet lover and daughter of a vet tech, I have lots of experience spending time with and caring for cats and dogs of all ages. All through my life my family has had pets and we often fostered animals, especially kittens and puppies, at my home. As I renter I haven’t been able to have dogs of my own since moving out of my family’s house. Our dogs are the highlight of visiting home and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs while you are away! I work from home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I could make some visits in the mornings, but I am mostly available in the evenings during the week and all day Friday - Sunday. I might have more time around the holidays, as well. I can also housesit if I have notice since I can work from anywhere. I’m not able to host any pets at my home due to having my own spicy kitties, but I’m happy to housesit or do drop in visits or walks. Let me know what you are looking for and I’m happy to help!

“Brooke was great! She came and met Kugel beforehand and was very sweet with him. She communicated a lot and Kugel seemed very happy afterwards”

About: What sets me apart is my understanding of animal behavior and my calm, confident approach with pets of all temperaments. I’m experienced in basic training for puppies, providing exercise for high-energy dogs, and offering gentle care for seniors. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether you need weekday walks, weekend care, or last-minute bookings, I’m happy to help whenever I’m available. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and personalized care, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages throughout our time together When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow each pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, medication, and playtime. I also take time to give them affection and attention so they feel safe while their family is away. I treat every home with respect and always leave things neat and tidy.

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs from young pups through dogs in their final years, as well as cats of various ages. I grew up with 1-2 dogs in our household at all times, several bunnies for which I was the primary caregiver as a kid and teenager, and frequent interactions with my friends’ cats. I am a responsible oldest daughter and love meeting and caring for animals!! I work in an elementary school, so once the school year starts I will be busy from approximately 7am to 4pm each week day. I have a lot of availability on weekends and more daytime availability during the summer and school breaks. I always follow the pet parents’ instructions closely because they know their pets best. I treat all pets with care and love. In particular, with dogs, I enjoy taking them on long walks if they are up for it. While pet sitting, I make sure to spend time with the pets while I am not at work (not coming back simply for their care routine).

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. When my parents were not home, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and cleaning up after my two dogs (Great dane and pitbull mix). They were both highly active so I played with them a lot. Both of my dogs love me and can't contain their excitement when I visit home. I really enjoy being around dogs and cats and do everything I can to make sure that they feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I also worked at Gulliver's Doggie Daycare, so I have experience with all breeds, ages, and accommodations for dogs. I was responsible for ensuring that they behave around each other, feeding them, and crating them. I also work with some dogs who are not good with other dogs or humans, so I have experience with unfriendly or scared dogs. I recently graduated but am taking a summer class from 12-9 Monday through Friday. Other than that I am very open and flexible this summer. I have a car so am available to take dogs to the park or on hikes. I also live in a house with a backyard that dogs are able to play in.

About: I’m not just a dog lover—I’m a proud dog mom of 9 years! I know how much your pup means to you because I feel the same way about mine. I bring the same care, attention, and love to every walk and drop-in as I do with my own dog, Dobby. I currently have a hybrid work schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays. So Mondays and Fridays are pretty open. Tuesdays and Thursdays I would be available after 6pm so please feel free to message me if interested. Weekends I am available! When I drop in to care for your pet, I treat your home and your furry friend with the same respect and love I give my own. I always follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I keep things calm and comforting for your pup, so they feel safe and happy.

“Catherine was a great dog walker! She responded well to my nervous dog and he grew comfortable with her super quick. She always returned my dog well exercised at the end of the walk!”
