“Claudia was great! I highly recommend her for dog-walking. She was prompt, friendly, and clearly very good with dogs. She took careful notes on all of Milo’s needs and preferences the first time we met, making me feel very at ease. Thanks, Claudia!”
“Leanne did a wonderful job dropping in on our 75 pound pup while we were gone for the night. Sent lots of pictures and updates, which was super helpful. He didn’t want her to leave! Would have her come by again anytime”
“Five stars doesn’t feel like enough- I highly recommend Charlie! My dog’s excitement level goes through the roof when I say Charlie’s name. Charlie’s responsible, caring, fun, and shows a genuine love in caring for animals. I feel a real sense of comfort having such a kind and attentive sitter for my dog! I’m truly grateful!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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: Dogs are the best!!! I grew up with a big dog at home and have experience owning dogs of my own. I love all breeds and sizes the same. Can’t wait to spend some quality time with your pup(s)! I work from home most days so I have a very flexible and open schedule! Love spending quality time with pups and giving them the attention they deserve. I'll spend all day with your dog and make sure they have frequent potty breaks and outside time! (And lots of active enriching play time)
“Paulina is an exceptional dog walker and sitter. She is flexible and reliable and trustworthy. Communications have always been prompt and clear. My dog, Shadow took to Paulina immediately when we did a meet and greet, and Shadow has been happy to see her each dog walk booking since then. In addition to walks and drop ins, I look forward to calling on Paulina to do house and pet sitting when we travel next. I know Shadow will be happy and safe, and that our house will be well looked after.”
“I knew a kennel was not something my dog would do well with and I am so happy I found Jana. I met with Jana before booking and I was immediately comfortable with her. Very happy with the care she gave my dog while we were traveling. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Sebastian is a wonderful dog walker/sitter. He was patient and willing to work extensively with my dog that has a hard time acclimating to new people and routines. I highly recommend Sebastian and I’m so glad my dog Olive finally has another pal!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I moved to the Boston area 5 years ago! I have taken care of both dogs and cats and am a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. During the week I have a hybrid work schedule so am very flexible with scheduling and happy to pet sit during the week. I have availability on weekends as well. I understand that every pet is different and will precisely follow any care instructions you have for me. I will keep in touch the whole time your pet is in my care and make sure you feel as comfortable as possible!
“Our dogs loved having Mathew take them for a walk. They were smiling in the pictures and tuckered out for the rest of the afternoon. Mathew did a great job communicating with us when he was going to be able to be there. He was also able meet the times we wanted. I would highly recommend Mathew to walk your dogs.”
“Kelly is amazing! She’s so reliable and always on time if not early for her walks with my pup. She treats her just like her own. She also is available last minute for my hectic schedule and hope to always utilize her.”

Emily was absolutely wonderful! I had to find a last minute sitter for my 8 months old puppy and she was so accommodating and flexible. She was willing to connect beforehand to make sure all details were set, which made me feel extra comfortable. She was timely and so attentive to Loon, and shared updates and photos along the way. She was truly so great. We will definitely be going to Emily first when we need help in the future!
Jana was awesome! She took extra time on the first day to let our pup warm up to her, which didn’t take long. She was also very thoughtful and conscious of his cues in challenging winter weather and spent extra time with him indoors when he didn’t want to be outside. Would love to have Jana back for future walks!
Dominika is awesome! My girl can be fearful and somewhat reactive, so she usually fails the meet and greet, but Dominika was very thoughtful and came up with strategies to make her feel safe and warm up. So grateful for her experience and willingness to take on a challenge on short notice.
