Dog Walking Riverside

“Rachel was a huge help when I was out of town for the weekend, walking and feeding my girl who has some behavioral issues. She was communicative, kind, and most of all - great with my pup! Thanks for everything and will definitely book again!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have walked neighbors' dogs and watched their hamsters, Guinea pigs, and cats since I was 9! I have experience with every type of pet, from puppies to senior cats, and would love to show your animal some love :) I have had the privilege of volunteering with Broken Tail Rescue weekly for over a year, so I am very well-versed in caring for all kinds of cats and dogs. I am a grad student at Harvard University and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available at most reasonable times, just reach out! I will feed, walk, and play with your pets and do other things such as change litter or give meds as needed. I do all of these things with my animals at home!

“Cameron is punctual and communicates about his visits before arrival, during and after. I will definitely contact him again. My dog is very anxious and he didn’t push her to walk, just kept her company as we discussed.”

“Lucy was wonderful with our dog! Our dog had some health challenges and Lucy was a pro! She’s attentive, communicative, and great with dogs. Highly recommend!”

“Ashley was phenomenal - she helped me when my dogsitter cancelled last minute, was super responsive, and left my dog happy and exercised. Can’t thank you enough!”

Meg G.

“James is wonderful with our dog Archie. He is kind, reliable, and responsive. He took his time to get to know and bond our dog and is very observant. He always leaves detailed notes and points out anything unusual. I can’t recommend him enough.”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child - cats, ferrets, rabbits, you name it. In 2021, I got my first cat as an adult — a British Shorthair kitten from Russia and he is well taken care of. Many friends, clients and family members have relied on me to take care of their cats. I am a writer and was a former book publicist for the last 6 years. I’m now writing full time with pet sitting as my other job! I have a lot of flexibility and time to travel to client’s homes. I will treat your pets and home they are our my own. I have two cats that live with me in Cambridge and will always put 100% effort in to taking care of your cat.

“Victoria was so wonderful to work with! She was quick to respond and took great care of my dog. I would book with her anytime!!! Highly recommend.”

Susan W.

“Darby stepped in to walk our dog when something came up last minute, and we couldn’t have been more grateful! She was flexible, communicative, and really attentive to our dogs (and cats) needs! We’re so happy we already booked her for another weekend!”

About: I come from a household that was full of pets from an early age, and as a result, am a huge animal lover of all kinds :). I’ve had pets all my life that range from dogs and cats to more exotic species such as frogs, snakes, horses, insects, and hermit crabs and because of this am comfortable around all species. A biology major in college, I took classes on entomology and vertebrate biology and at one point decided to pursue vet school. During this time, I often was the point of contact to watch my friend’s animals while they were out of town. I now work in the medical field and am a current foster mom to two sweet kitties. I currently work hybrid, which allows me plenty of flexibility to fit your pets’ needs! I'm open to last minute requests and will accommodate wherever possible. I am diligent and pay close attention to detail to help ensure I keep your furry family members (and your home when applicable) safe from harm. I double check all doors to make sure they are locked and secured, and like to keep my living space tidy in order to prevent my pets from getting ahold of a foreign object that they could potentially harm themselves with. I communicate swiftly if I notice any changes in your pet’s behavior and will always err on the safe side if I notice anything out of the ordinary.

“I had a great experience with Leilani! She was very attentive and communicative from the start. I really appreciated how she took the time to ask thoughtful questions to better understand my dog’s needs, personality, and routine. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: We’re a family of dog lovers with a young-ish dog of our own (Indie, cattle dog mix). We have a fenced-in backyard and we’re just a few blocks from the river and parks. We love hosting other dogs who can play with our dog, and because Indie is so high energy we usually take several long walks a day to the dog park so that they get off-leash play time. I can work from home whenever needed, and the kids are home from school by 3 and will be able to walk dogs then if I’m not able to. I also have a dog-friendly office and can (and have) bring in and dogs I’m caring for. We have a cozy home with a large backyard. We’re open to working with whatever feeding and walking schedule your pet is used to, and will do our best to accommodate.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. I have had a dog since I was 6 years old and I have additional volunteer experience. I volunteered with the Canine Healing Project, a non-profit which trains and cares for rescue dogs. I have also volunteered in a doggy daycare and at humane societies. I even have experience with caring for horses, so large dogs are no problem for me! I recently moved to the Boston area to attend graduate school which will start in September. I’m looking to make some extra cash and spend some quality time with animals before school begins! I am very flexible throughout August. I prefer some notice with bookings, but I may be able to make some same-day bookings work. My schedule will become busier in September, but please reach out and I will see what I can do for you! Since I recently moved away from home, I am missing my dog, Louie! I look forward to caring for your pet and will treat him/her as my own. My approach with animals is gentle and respectful. From my experience working with rescue dogs, I am used to working with pets who are skittish or defensive. I understand pets may have a hard time trusting a caregiver who is not their owner, so I will strive to make sure they are comfortable. I have found I am good at adapting to each pet’s personality and unique needs. I will reach out to you prior to booking with questions about your preferences in pet care. I will also reach out prior to discuss expectations for entering your home to ensure we are on the same page before the first booking.

“Grace came right in and was comfortable taking Loki on hour+ long walks for exercise and socialization. Loki is a fairly large dog at 65 lbs and he was great with Grace. She has excellent communication skills and is very pleasant and reliable. I'd recommend Grace for all of the services she provides.”

“Our dog Stevie is a loving dog but she is nervous likely due to the fact that she is a rescue. Andrew did an amazing job of being thoughtful in her walk and treated her with the utmost thoughtfulness.”

About: I have a senior blind, deaf puppy who I have had the privilege of taking care of. He is super energetic as well so I know how to deal with pretty much any kind of dog who may have an impairment, or also just a friendly super active dog. I am currently studying Advertising at BU! I live a very active lifestyle as running is one of my main hobbies. My classes are pretty dispersed so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week. I can crate your dog if necessary, and will probably have them on a leash most of the time for safety unless we are in an environment where they can run freely!

About: I have taken care of all types and sizes of dogs since I was very young. I grew up with a springer spaniel who was very energetic and enjoyed long walks and runs. I have experience taking care of old dogs with lots of medications and assistance needed (carrying up/down stairs, etc.). I look forward to helping out with your pup! I work full-time Monday–Friday, but my schedule is flexible. I’m only in the office two days a week, and those days can vary, which allows me plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available both during the week and on weekends and am happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs! My apartment is pet friendly and I have furniture that pets can sit on. I live right next to the esplanade which is great for walks!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages for over 15 years. I am born and raised in Cambridge, MA and am friend to many of our local quadrupedal citizens. I have experience administering medicines to dogs, and I've worked at a seabird rehabilitation in South Africa, as a bonus aside. I like running and could take your dog on a run if that's something they'd like! I can handle as many responsibilities as you need me to, and can always be in close contact. I'm here to bring some warmth, ease and peace of mind to you and your pet. I am currently a full-time student, which leaves me with total flexibility! I am generally available during the week and weekends - just reach out to see if the time fits. I have a lot of experience caring for my clients' homes and accommodating their specific needs, whether it be treat, crate, food, pet-routine, medicine related or beyond. I am extremely responsible, and can be trusted to follow directions to a T. I have extra experience as a house-sitter, as well.

“Our pets at adore Diane! She is one of the best pet walkers and sitters we’ve ever found. Thank you so much for your genuine friendship and care to our little family. We appreciate you!”
