“Veronica did an excellent job walking our two pups while I was away. She did an excellent job communicating with us and ensured we always got a card after each walk.”

“Reliable, on time and very communicative as always :) I know my Lalo is always taken care of and I really appreciate that he lets him run wild and free off leash at the dog park and all the precious photos and videos that I’m sent ♥️ I’ve been going thru a really hard time having to work full time and visiting my brother in the ICU and I can’t thank him enough for taking on my Husky who can be a handful 😅 couldn’t be more thankful 😭”

About: I grew up with pets as part of my family, which taught me from an early age how to care for them with patience, consistency, and respect. Being around dogs and cats my whole life helped me learn how to read their body language, understand their routines, and respond to their individual needs, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m currently focusing on personal growth and beginning a new chapter in my life. This gives me wide availability and flexibility to dedicate quality time and attention to pet sitting. I’m able to prioritize consistent visits, unhurried care, and being fully present with each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, comfort, and reliability they deserve. I focus on providing calm, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, making adjustments to ensure they feel safe and at ease while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are important to me, and I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Hector is amazing with my Carrick and was from the very beginning. I'm disabled and found myself in need of a part-time dog walker. My dog is being trained as a service dog but was also rescued from a shelter and does not trust people easily. Hector asked what commands he knew, what was the best way to approach him, didn't flinch when my baby got anxious during their meet and greet. He won my furbaby over so completely that the next morning when Hector showed up for the first walk, Carrick quietly sniffed and accepted him and was more than happy to go on a walk with him. Hector also discovered the best way to walk Carrick on their first walk - I've never seen him come back from a walk so happy before! I cannot recommend Hector enough. He has experience, is intuitive, communicative, respectful, thoughtful, and takes great care of your fur babies. My little man gets the tippy-tappies when he hears him walking up to the door. A dog that usually takes months to warm up to folks. If you hire Hector you will not be disappointed. You will have a reliable, skilled and trustworthy person to take care of your furbaby.”

“Georgia was a delight to work with - caring, considerate, and conscientious. Gidget loved their time together and we will definitely rebook when the opportunity rises. .”

About: I have experience with all sorts of dogs and animals all ages. I do pretty well with younger dogs and can keep up with them. I enjoy doing short walks with senior pets as well! I’m a college student with a passion for spending time with animals! Alongside my studies, I’m looking to earn a little extra while staying active and doing something I love. My schedule is very flexible, so feel free to book a time that works best for you. I’m also more than happy to wake up early for pet care!! ☺️☀️ I provide attentive and compassionate care during each visit, whether I'm letting pets outside, taking them on walks, or simply checking in. I always ensure they have fresh water, and I prepare an extra bowl just in case. Feeding routines are followed exactly as instructed by the owner, and I take time during our initial meeting to ask thoughtful questions and address any concerns upfront. I’m mindful of each pet’s unique needs and accommodations, and I care for them with the same love and responsibility I’d give my own. 🤍

“Such an incredible experience. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was taken care of like he was her own!”

“We LOVE you”

“Allison did amazing! She was so great walking Fenway and with excellent communication. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needed some trustworthy pet care:)”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old, and my love for them has only grown stronger over the years! My most recent dog, Mila, was a huge part of my life. She had several special needs, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust when it comes to your pet’s care. Mila taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and unconditional love, and I carry that with me in how I care for every dog I meet. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. Whether your dog needs a strict routine, medication, extra potty breaks, or just lots of snuggles, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home! My husband and I both work from home, so your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and cuddles! We will make sure they feel safe and loved throughout the day. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play! There is also a designated ‘Dog Lounge’ for when your dog wants some alone time to take a nap or look out the window. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions to match your dog’s routine and needs, ensuring a safe, stress free stay.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs. I have a puppy of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and care they need every day. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and have plenty of fun while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have a puppy of my own. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care. I also enjoy helping neighbors with their pets and am always happy to care for animals whenever needed. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every pet. Having a puppy of my own, I understand that every dog has different needs depending on their age, personality, and routine. Whether it’s an energetic puppy that needs playtime and attention or an older dog that needs patience and extra care, I’m happy to accommodate them. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and feel connected to every pet I meet! Beyond being a lifelong pet owner, I spent two years volunteering at my hometown’s animal shelter, where I cared for hundreds of cats and dogs with diverse personalities. I have the background and heart to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved! I am working on my Masters degree and working a part time job. Currently, I am only working two days a week, so I have plenty of time to give your pets love and care! I will ensure your pets feel safe and loved. I know every animal is different so I will take the time to learn how to provide the best care for them.

About: I am the family animal caretaker who is trusted and loves animals! Experience ranges from personally owning cat and dogs, working at vets, senior care. I work full time during the week but am open to friday and saturday mornings! Hoping to be more open after more experience with rover! I am all ears for at home instructions and am open to giving medications and extra care for seniors! Overall looking out for their wellbeing!

“Sam was very attentive and helped out greatly when we requested small details for the dogs. Definitely will be using him in the future and highly recommend him.”

“Eric was quick to reply and genuinely cared about making my dog’s day. He took my Dalmatian on a nice long walk and also played with him in the backyard on both days I booked. Eric was great about keeping me in the loop and making me feel included while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. He’s an awesome person, clearly loves what he does, and I’ll absolutely be rebooking with Eric.”

Justin H.

“She's awesome! I book multiple times with her and she's very attentive to my furbaby and has helped me in last minute bookings! Responds quick and provides very descriptive updates on her visit which I appreciate”

“Quinten always does PERFECT with my dog. I unexpectedly had to stay at work late, I messaged Quinten asking if he can walk Max and he immediately responded & came to walk him. He takes the best pictures of him during there walks as well. I will always recommend & trust Quinten to walk Max when no one is home to do so.”

“Cristina was right on time every day to walk our dog, Bailey. It's obvious she has a love for animals. We will be using Cristina on a regular basis!!”
