About: Hi, I’m Emilio! I’m a dependable and caring dog walker who loves spending time with pups/cats of all kinds. Rain, shine, or snow, I show up with a smile, ready to give your dog/cat the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit, I’m here to make sure your pet stays happy, active, and loved while you’re away. I also offer drop-in visits for cats! With four years of personal experience as a cat owner, I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or keeping the litter box fresh, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe and cared for in their own space. Safety, consistency, and kindness are at the heart of every visit. Let’s get those tails wagging and cats content! 🐶🐈💙 I work part-time as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Lahey Hospital, which gives me plenty of time during the day to care for pets. Dog walking fits naturally into my routine and helps me stay active and grounded. It’s a meaningful balance to my caregiving work at the hospital, as I truly enjoy spending time with pets. 😊 I don’t have a pet right now, but I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets feel safe, stick to their routine, and keep the environment clean.
About: While I don’t have a ton of experience with dogs, I have been around my family’s dogs for years. Helping with walks, feeding, playing and picking up poops! I dog sat for a friend while she was traveling and was boarding at her place! I am strong so I am able to handle the strong pups I moved back to the states after living in Madrid since 2017, to help my mom as a caregiver while she received cancer treatment. I am not employed currently, so besides caring for the house, my mom and our 3 cats- I have time that I can use I have three cats in my house currently. One of them is fine with other pets… the other two are older and would probably just hang out in one of the other parts of the house. I wouldn’t be able to house a dog for more than 2 nights. We have a huge campus with green and walking paths (I take my youngest cat out for walks) and a cute little fenced porch where a pooch could get some supervised sun tanning
“Lauren was fantastic walking our golden retriever. She sent us pictures and we got a walk report with every walk. We would absolutely ask her to walk her again. Thank you so much, Lauren! We really appreciated everything!”
About: Hi! I'm currently a nursing student with 7+ years of experience walking and caring for dogs, including senior doggos! I’m dependable, punctual, and always make sure sure each dog feels safe and has a good time outside! Currently I’m in school with a very flexible schedule. I’m available on weekends, most mornings and evenings, and any time on Thursdays! My schedule might change here and there but I’m pretty flexible- reach out if you need coverage outside of my listed availability! I try to make pets feel as comfortable and cared for as they do with you! I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, meds if needed—and give them lots of attention and affection. I’ll also send updates and pics so you know they’re doing great while you’re away!

About: I provide personalized care with many years of experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their unique needs are met with attention, patience, and care. Pet care is a key part of my routine. Having a 13-year-old King Charles Cavalier who was a big part of my life taught me how important love, attention, and consistency are in caring for dogs. I bring that same dedication to every dog I care for. I care for pets by maintaining their routines and providing comfort in both my home and clients’ homes. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just companionship, I make sure pets feel relaxed and well-cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of friend’s and family’s pets since I was in middle school. I love to walk and would love to take some pets along with me!

I always want pets to be comfortable in their own space, so I will do whatever is needed in order to make that happen.
“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”
About: I have loved all animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up with the sweetest Maine Coon, rode horses, and I’ve taken care of and trained my parent's golden retriever for the past 10 years. Now that I have more time and space, I love fostering and pet sitting. My boyfriend helps with boarding and dog sitting, as you can see from pictures! I'm currently a graduate student at UML with afternoon/evening classes 3 days a week, and spend the majority of my day working from home. It gives me flexibility during the day to spend time taking care of the pets I am boarding, house-sitting, or walking! I live with my partner in an apartment with lots of space! We love going for walks in the neighborhood, and there are dog parks nearby.
About: I absolutely love all animals, especially dogs. I am super energetic and love to be outside. I have an immense amount of free time and would love to walk or watch your pups! I typically walk two energetic Australian Shepherds and absolutely love it. I have a lot of free time and a car so I’m available a lot during the summer. I am a college student and am looking for someone who needs help walking or watching their dog to fill up my free time. I am very caring and will treat your dog like if they are my own with respect and patience. I will make sure to follow any routine the dog is used to and make sure the dog is comfortable with me and the environment. Showing love and care to your dog is my number priority and making sure they enjoy being taken care of
