4. Kassandra D.

“Awesome walker and very flexible!”


5. Arianna Marie C.
“Arianna loves animals and quickly adapts to taking care of all creatures. Her caring nature also comes with great patience when dealing with animals that require more care, such her family's senior dogs and my cat who needs fiber supplements every day. My cat was very happy and taken care of by Arianna when I was away, even taking him to the vet ER after recognizing he was in pain. I highly recommend Arianna to be a petsitter!”


6. selah n.

“Very friendly, seems very sweet with my pup and gives you updates and ask if you are ok with her walking him to certain parts or if you have a place in mind for her to walk him.”


7. Victoria T.
“Victoria is amazing with pets. She is so caring and thoughtful, she really knows how to pay attention to the pets. She herself has raised her black lab from puppyhood to adulthood, she understands the care, dedication, and attention to detail needed when it comes to taking care of dogs. From dog walking, feeding, making sure to pick up after the dogs, and making sure to notice any signs of sickness, anxiety, or nervousness, she makes sure her dogs are always comfortable and happy.”


8. Stephanie C.

“Stephanie was amazing!! This was our first booking with her and we couldn’t be more happy with our choice! She was so kind and friendly!! She asked questions during the meet and greet to make sure she could give Ellie the most perfect care! Stephanie was so communicative and sent us so many pictures and updates! Thank you Stephanie! If you need a walker for your pup then you should take my recommendation and choose Stephanie!!”


9. Amy G.

“Amy is AMAZING! Charlie loves her. She's so kind, easy going, and fun.”

“Michael is amazing. Very good communicator and works with me on scheduling last minute bookings. My dog Leila loves him and gets super excited to see him.”


11. Helen B.
“Helen is a very responsible person. She is very caring but also very disciplined. She has demonstrated to be an amazing and loving pet parent for her own dog, and I am convinced she'll conduct herself in the same responsible way to be the attentive pet parent for anyone else's beloved pet.”


12. Amritha J.
“Amritha is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker. She is inherently good with all animals and all animals love her. She is my dog’s favorite person and has helped care for him by watching him and walking him since he was a young puppy, so she is well versed in dog care from all ages. She also is great with cats and knows how to properly play and care for them (feed, transport, clean litter boxes, etc). She also understands the boundaries they require, which is so important! Highly recommended her as a rover.”


13. Bianca P.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs for most of my life. I have experience walking, feeding, and playing with pets of all sizes! I’m currently working part-time so I’m generally pretty flexible! I’m available on weekends and holidays, and just ask that communication is clear so I can ensure no conflicts. When I visit your home, I’ll make sure your pets are safe and happy. I’ll collaborate with you to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe!


14. Samantha W.

“Samantha accommodated a last minute request to walk my dog a few days in a row. She showed up on time and sent photos. I love her post walk updates! Would recommend. Thanks, Samantha =)”


15. Darby G.

“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!”


16. Caroline S.

“Caroline and her partner stopped over to meet my dog and see my apartment before their series of walks. She is very kind and responsible in taking care of my pet and my space. We opted for an hour walk + feeding and Caroline always mapped out great walks and distances, taking photos along the way and posting details. Would 10/10 recommend Caroline as your walker and will certainly continue with her services! -Ryan”


17. Laura O.

“Laura is the best! Ollie is always so excited to go on a walk with her. She is always very prompt, and even gives Ollie a little extra time on walks or takes him to the dog park so he can play which is so nice!”


18. Rebecca M.
“Rebecca loves both dogs and cats and they love her! She took care of my dog and two cats while my family and I were away, and the pets were very happy to be in her care. She was a dog walker full time in Philadelphia for a bit and got to handle all different sizes and temperaments of dogs in the city. I can’t recommend her enough to take care of your dogs and cats!”


19. Romy F.
About: I've lived with medium-sized dogs for the past three years and was very involved with their care. I also worked for a cat kennel and for a professional NYC cat sitting company, where I gained experience taking care of senior cats with medical needs. Now that I'm in Boston for school I would love to meet your pets! I am a graduate student and am free on weekends plus Tues, Thurs, Fridays after 12:30pm. My schedule is fairly flexible, so feel free to ask me! I am happy to play with, walk, and feed your pets! While my landlord doesn't allow for me to have pets in my home, but I'd be happy to stop by and will be very respectful of your space.




20. Kate M.


“Kate has been a great walker for my puppy Cowboy! She keeps me informed on how my dog is doing and what they did, plus she is always very punctual! I appreciate that she let's me know if she needs to alter the time by even a little bit. Cowboy is in better spirits when we get home now and loves the extra time he gets to play and be outside. She even recommended me a friend when she couldn't come by for one of the days. I will continue to use her as my regular walker and highly recommend her for your fur baby needs.”
