About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, including two Labrador Retrievers named Maverick and Goose, and a Beagle that I cared for over 10 years, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, exercise, and understanding different personalities. I’ve also done several overnight house-sitting and dog care jobs, working with a wide range of breeds, from small dogs like pugs to larger, high-energy dogs like huskies. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and caring for them. The first animal I really fell in love with was a manatee when I was about 5 years old living in Florida, and that kind of stuck with me. My time as a kid was spent at the beach boogie boarding out into the ocean hoping a dolphin would find me and become my friend. Growing up, I loved going to the aquarium and the zoo to learn about different animals, and I’ve always been especially drawn to red pandas and stingrays. That curiosity and appreciation carries over into how I care for pets—I really enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe and happy. In addition, I have a lot of hands-on caregiving experience through taking care of my brother who has special needs, as well as working with special needs youth. That’s taught me to be patient, attentive, and very in tune with individual needs, which I bring into how I care for animals as well. Pet care honestly fits into my routine really naturally because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I have a part-time job in the mornings and some evenings, so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to spend quality time with dogs—whether that’s going on long walks, stopping by for visits, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I grew up with dogs and took care of my Beagle for 10 years, so I’m very used to building my day around their needs. It doesn’t feel like a task to me—it’s something I love doing. Being around dogs, getting outside, and making sure they’re happy and cared for is something I naturally make time for every day. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and at ease by sticking closely to their normal routine. I know how important consistency is, so I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions carefully. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure their dog is always supervised and within my sight. I pay attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to what they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just relaxing together so they don’t feel alone. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I create a calm, safe environment where they get plenty of attention, exercise, and downtime. I really just try to treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel happy and cared for the whole time.

“Roman had a wonderful time! I loved the updates and the pictures throughout his stay! It definitely makes my fur mom heart a little more settled knowing the great care he is in and updates on what he’s doing during his time! Definitely came home nice and sleepy!!”

Alycia O.

“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”

Min L.

“Laura was wonderful with our dog, Charlie. She was very communicative, prompt and flexible, and she sent us many great photos. We will definitely book with her again.”

J W.

“Anna was so patient with our dog Bobby and took amazing care of him! When we picked him up he was calm and ready for a nap - perfect! We will definitely book with Anna again.”

Sara S.

“Cheddy had a great time!”

Brian S.

“Banapsha is amazing! She made an immediate connection with Peanut who has some separation anxiety and has been through a lot of recent medical issues. She gave me frequent updates, pictures and asked questions when she was unsure what I would prefer in terms of her care. I hope to hire Banapsha again when she is available!”

About: I love using Rover to find care for my own doggos :) On my own, I have raised my two senior pitbulls, Brave and Skylar. I adopted them both as senior pitbull rescues and these dogs are my whole life. These days it’s just me and Skylar (11 years old little lovebug) as Brave passed a few years ago. Skylar is the sweetest big sister doggo :) my furry little sausage. I’m a working academic and artist so I’m very flexible since I mainly work from home. I would love to take care of your pet :) I studied at Columbia for undergrad then both Cambridge and Harvard for graduate school so I’ve been living in the Boston area for 4 years now :) My pets are my whole life, so I would care and treat yours as though my own :) Please let me know all the details of your pet.

About: ***NOTICE FOR NEW & REPEAT CLIENTS*** I will be abroad in Japan for research Sept 2026-August 2027, after which I’ll return to Boston and resume pet services. You’ll find these months blocked off on my calendar. Thank you for your support and patience. I look forward to coming back and seeing the fur babies!!! *** I’ve had dogs in the family since I was a child, and they’ve been all sizes, temperaments and with different needs. I’ve worked with multiple R+ and balanced trainers in the Boston area and actively use training techniques throughout the day to help dogs who are selective-reactive, fearful, shy and/or have separation anxiety. I’m happy to incorporate any trainings you’re working on with your pups while they’re in my care***I do not believe pet services should be financially inaccessible. If you are struggling financially and need assistance, please reach out. I am a graduate student, and spend no more than 3 hours teaching/working on campus, typically in the afternoon, but my office is only 10 minute walk away so I’m rarely gone for long. For pets who would do best with full time WFH, my schedule is flexible. The rest of the time I spend either at home or outdoors at parks or on hikes. My life truly revolves around dogs. Stay at home movie nights with lots of treats or hangouts at the dog parks—you name it! I now have a car, so my serviced area radius has increased for walking and checkin services! I do not offer boarding/stay services in the client’s home.

“This is Scout's second time at Jacqueline's for doggy daycare. She and Harley do an amazing job looking after Scout. Highly recommend her, she treats your dog as if it were her own.”

“Tae took just a great care of Archie and it was very obvious that he had such a good time playing with Tae and her lovely Goldendoodle. He was also able to relax with the comfy bed that Tae provided. Will definitely ask for Tae’s help again in future!”

About: I grew up with 2 Yorkies and bulldogs! I love dogs with my life. Dogs are like family to me. One of my Yorkies (they both live in my hometown) passed away recently due to her age, so I do know how to properly take care of dogs even when it comes to senior dogs or even puppies. I am always available to take care of dogs! I live with my boyfriend who works at home so he is available in case I’m not home. I go to law school so sometimes it does get busy but I’m always happy to take care of a baby (pet)! I take care of pets at my home by providing them a place for them to be able to sleep comfortably and play with their toys. I also think that talking to them calms them down and makes them more comfortable. Dogs are really smart and they do understand rules if you explain it to them!

“Maya always has a great time at Lynne’s! Lynne is great communicator and always lets us know about any other dogs that will be in her care while Maya is there. We look forward to booking with Lynne again in the future!”

Ilana R.

“Sandra went above and beyond to make both me and Koda feel so comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and caring. I could tell Koda loved her and had an amazing time. I was so impressed with Sandra and will absolutely be reaching out to her again.”
