1. Jose C.
“Really enjoyed Jose taking care of our dog. He was easy to connect with on the app and timely and reliable in caring for our dog. I recommend him highly.”
2. Junior V.
“Junior is a dog person! Immediately after 2 minutes of being together, my very skittish dog approached Junior with a big tail wag and hello kisses. Junior is super patient and respectful with dog’s spaces. They are good at creating an environment to get to know new dogs easily. They also took the time for a meet and greet before the walk. They are a fast communicator and very good at sharing updates.”
3. David M.
“Amazing experience!! Took Sadie for a much longer walk (thank you soooo much). Did a group walk w/ two other dogs which is great for her to socialize since she thinks she’s queen bee. She’s certainly going to sleep well tonight! Thanks again :)”
4. Erika G.
“erika is an incredibly responsible not only pet sitter, but pet owner! i see the way she cares for her dogs and its commendable. ive entrusted not only my own dogs in her care but dogs that i’ve sat for. she’s the first person i go to when someone asks me for pet care!”
5. Kara B.
“Kara is great! 10/10. Super communicative, incredibly nice, reliable and has the utmost care for animals (and people)! Will absolutely continue to use her in the future, thx Kara!”
6. Rachel V.
“Rachel was amazing and Yogi didn’t want to let her leave. She did a fantastic job and is super sweet and accommodating, even with a giant puppy on her hands.”
7. Krysta C.
“Krysta came for my dog twice in a day as I was away working for more than 12 hrs. She came at the most perfect times, even bringing in my packages for me and took my dog all over the neighborhood on the walk. I highly recommend Krysta!”
8. Joseph L.
“Joseph is awesome! Very attentive! Thorough!”
9. Celia D.
“Celia has always loved dogs and is very good with animals. She has years of experience walking her own family dogs, both of which are large breeds. I would definitely trust her to be my dog walker.”
10. Amani J.
“I wasn’t feeling well and needed a last minute walk for Kramer. Amani came through for me! Knowing she was there to take him out (they even went to the park!) put my mind at ease. Kramer always has a great time with Amani, highly recommended!!”
11. Lily B.
“Lily is a huge animal lover who gives the best care and attention to all animals, dogs especially. One of her favorite past time activities is going to local shelters and keeping company to the dogs and cats who spend their days alone. She was also a great dogsitter for my elderly dog who required lots of care, I wouldn’t have trusted him with anyone else!”
12. Lauren L.
“We all have that one friend while walking around the city, who stops, talks to, and fawns over every dog they pass, May I introduce Lauren, that friend. As a dog owner herself , she is patient, attentive, and ever ready to play. She is great with the canines and humans, meaning very approachable and easy to talk to. If you’re not careful you may just get a neighborhood friend out of the situation. All jokes aside you would be lucky to have Lauren walk your dog.”
13. Sarah G.
“Sarah was great with my dog who was suffering from kennel cough and a nasty UTI. Sarah was accommodating, flexible and I knew Ruby was in good hands!”
14. Casey H.
“Casey was great with my dog Kyle! Highly recommend Casey for anything you need”
15. Elizabeth J.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was little & I was finally able to get a dog of my own during Covid. Cooper turned 4 in October! He loves running on the beach, long walks, naps and treats of course! Whenever I have to leave Cooper, I always like to ensure he has a sitter who cares about him as if he is their own & I’d love to be that for your pet:) I just moved to South Boston from Cape Cod and would love to keep active and spend my extra time with your pet while looking for a job in this area! For animals it can be stressful having someone new in their safe space at home but I want to make sure your pet is completely comfortable yet excited to have our visits! Whether this means being crated or left to nap on their owners bed I’m here to make you and your pet feel as at ease as possible!
16. Samantha M.
“Samatha has been so patient with our puppy who is timid and shy at first. She has been amazing at taking care of our puppy and I feel at ease knowing he’s taken care of while I’m at work!”
17. Savannah L.
“Savannah is a caring and an extremely supportive person everywhere she goes. She has always been an excellent caregiver to many. She will excel at any job thrown at her no matter the difficulty or skill it requires, she will always find a way to make it happen. I wouldn’t trust anyone more than Savannah to care for my pets. She truly has a gift for caring for those around her.”
18. Kianna C.
“Kianna is AMAZING, such good energy to have around my dog child. I travel for work often and go into the office twice a week. Finding someone to love and care for my dog the way that I would has been a challenge. I have 2 teens that can typically do the job, but that extra love and affection is so important for a pup with separation anxiety, which is why I’m so happy we met Kianna! I can’t wait for Juice to spend more time with her. Kianna is great at communicating thru the app, has outstanding response time, takes the cutest pics and leaves the best report cards. Kianna made juice feel extra special while I was away and put my nerves at ease. Overall, win win!”

I love pets and I can’t wait to be a sitter to yours ! I’m currently a full time college student , so I have unlimited availability. I can do sitting on the weekends until 4pm , My schedule will show my open availability I have a balcony , indoor park in my apartment building and I also have the outside area for walks . Your pets are free to roam around my apartment, it’s just me there . I currently have a bunny who is usually in her cage but is used to dogs and cats .
