“Elena has been fabulous with Ollie!! He gets so excited when she shows up and is worn out afterwards. Elena is extremely courteous and reliable. She always has a smile on her face and is very engaging. I would highly recommend Elena for any employment related to dogs.... or humans!!!”

“On short notice Tab came over to meet my 4 year old Golden Retriever, Waffles, and then to walk him for a couple of days when I could not. Thomas/Tab is articulate, energetic, responsive and steady. We were having significant subway / metro problems here in Boston and Tab kept me informed. I recommend him wholeheartedly.”

“Stephanie did an amazing job walking Mookie! She was incredibly helpful and showed so much patience during their first meeting, making sure Mookie felt comfortable and at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared about making the experience great for both of us. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog walker. Mookie can’t wait for his next walk with her!”

“Meredith was incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and loving with my dog! I had issues with my previous walker with being flaky, but Meredith was proactive in confirming our upcoming walks for the month and took the initiative to make sure Rover reflected our scheduled walks. She was flexible with me when I needed time changes, and Coco absolutely adores her. Could not recommend more!”

Jordyn K.

“Nina is consistently an amazing walker. She's responsible, responsive, always on time, and most importantly very loved by my dog!! She is able to manage my reactive dog with ease, even in a highly dog dense neighborhood. We love Nina and highly recommend her for any pet care!!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I volunteered for a full year at a dog shelter, where I walked dogs daily, played with them, helped socialize them, and even welcomed some into my home when they needed extra care or weren’t getting adopted. Beyond my shelter work, I’ve also taken care of my own dogs and regularly looked after my aunt’s dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, senior, or somewhere in between, I’m patient, loving, and always focused on keeping them safe, happy, and relaxed. I’m currently between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care, and I can easily adapt to last-minute requests or special routines. Your pet will get consistent attention, reliable timing, and lots of companionship — no rushed walks or long hours alone. When I take care of pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy, just like they would with their own family. I always follow the routine you already have in place — feeding schedule, walk times, treats, training rules, and any special needs.

About: As a full time higher education professional with a true passion for dogs, I spent my free time throughout my college and graduate school years getting professional experience in the dog care industry. Through my years working in a dog daycare setting I have learned crucial dog handling skills including reading dog body language, working with reactive dogs, basic obedience training, and medication dosing. My dedication spanned to working overnight shifts where I cared for boarding dogs ranging from 6 months to 14 years of age. With these important skills under my belt, I am hoping to keep utilizing them in the time I have beyond my 9-5. I am currently raising my own pup, Otis, to be the best gentleman he can be! I have absolutely adored the dog training process, and love watching him succeed. I would love to do the same for your dog. With years of professional experience and a passion to keep dog care in my life, you can be confident that your dog is under trustworthy and thoughtful supervision. I look forward to befriending your best friend!! 🐾 As mentioned, I am a full time professional by day, but I am dedicated to providing walks & drop ins to pups in need in the evenings, some days during lunch, and weekends! With extreme attention to detail, I will make sure your furry friend is walked and cared for exactly how you prefer. I understand that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to pet care, and every dog is unique. So, getting to know you and your dog is of utmost importance to me.

Love to take care of pets and give them the attention they need! Please let me know if your pet requires specific needs regarding petting or feeding. I am open to taking care of any breeds. Please let me know if your pet gets aggressive around people or other pets! I’m currently self-employed so I can work based on you and your pet’s needs! I’m available for sitting on weekdays Mon-Fri. If you need to book for a weekend, please let me know at least a week beforehand, thank you :) I can provide your pet with proper care based on you and their preferences and needs.

About: I love animals and I think pets are such important parts of our families. I have been cat sitting for friends ever since I graduated from college and I really enjoy taking care of pets. I aim to ensure that your pet(s) will have everything they need while you're away. I am currently living with two cats, one of which is mine, but I also take care of my roommate's cat regularly. I am currently working from home, so I am able to go out during the day to take care of your pet as long as there are no conflicts at work and as long as your home is not too far from my place of residence. I know that our furry friends have unique needs and personalities. I take pride in creating a comfortable and stress-free environment for them. Whether it's providing fresh food and water, daily walks, maintaining a clean litter box, or engaging in interactive play to keep them mentally stimulated, I ensure that your pet's well-being and contentment are my top priorities.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for two years now. I personally have a black lab as well. I'm happy to take your dog on a walk, keep them company, or play with them! I'm currently working on a hybrid schedule so every week my availability differs. If I'm at home I can take care of your dog as needed. But I'm always available after 6pm on weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced yard, but if I'm at your location I will give them my full attention. I live in a residential area with lots of friendly dogs nearby, and good safe spaces for walking.

About: I am an Occupational Therapist who recently graduated from BU with an avid love for caring for animals! I am currently looking to pet sit/dog walk consistently throughout the week. I have multiple references, and have developed strong time management and organizational skills to check in on your pets during desired times! I have had three dogs myself and that drove me to intern at a doggy daycare! I was responsible for dogs of various breeds and personalities while following a strict schedule for feeding, administering medications, walking the dogs, and paying great attention to each dog! I also love cats and have my own at home named Pumba. With my experience and genuine passion for animals, given the chance to meet and interact with you special family members, I will be attentive, loving, and caring as if they were my own! Please consider me in your search! I will have plenty of time to stay with your pets and give them all the attention they need! I will send lots of photos as well! I will be very attentive and work around any needs you want to include for your pets! I am respectful of your home as well, and have references that can support this!

“Loved meeting William! He was so understanding about all the things we try to reinforce with our pup and followed everything we suggested. Pebbles had a lot of fun with him, and he managed her energy really well. He also gave me such detailed updates and photos! Would definitely recommend :)”

About: Hi all. I’m a Harvard student who’s had the joy of growing up with an active Labrador retriever and three cats, so I’m very comfortable around both dogs and cats of all temperaments. I’ve always been passionate about animals and have a knack for understanding their needs and moods. I’m great with puppies, having helped train a few in my time, so I’m patient and ready to help your little one learn the ropes. And if you have a senior pet, rest assured they’ll get the gentle, attentive care they need with me. Balancing my studies at Harvard with my love for pets, I bring reliability and a dedicated approach to every pet-sitting job. I’m here to make sure your furry friends feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I am a full-time student at Harvard University with classes Monday - Friday. Depending on the day, I have different levels of flexibility. I am happy to drop in before, between, or after classes, just depends on whatever works for both you and me. Reach out and I am confident we can make something work! I understand that leaving your beloved pet in someone else's care requires trust and confidence. My top priority is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pet while they're in their own home. I ensure that their routines are followed closely and their familiar surroundings are maintained to minimize stress. I’m attentive to their needs, whether it's feeding, playtime, or administering any required medications. You can trust that your pet will receive the highest level of care and affection, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of in your absence.
