“Jacqueline is awesome! She took great care of our Dorothy. She is extremely sweet and great with animals. She was great with communication and sent pictures of Dorothy. We first did a meet and greet and I knew right away she would be great. Her love for animals is evident! I felt safe leaving Dorothy in her hands. I would 100% recommend Jacqueline for any of your pets needs! I would 10/10 use her again! 🙂”
“Shreya is communicative, friendly and Scarlett always looks forward to her walks. :) She was very receptive of my info about Scarlett as she tends to be leash reactive toward other dogs. She handles her well, no complaints!”
About: Hello Canine Parents, I love and welcome dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. While you are away, I will feed, walk and play with your with puppy or dog with love and compassion. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully monitor interactions and create a calm environment where your fur-baby can relax and enjoy themselves. I will care for your dog as if they were my own! My schedule would be based on your dog's needs. I am available for daily check-ins, over night stays and daily walks. Your dog's needs come first. When caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal, comfortable and stress free as possible. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, portion sizes, treats, medications and any special dietary needs. Fresh water will always be available. Daily walks and exercise would be tailored to your dog's age, energy level and your preferences. Exercise could be a short/long walk, short bathroom breaks, playtime in the yard or indoor activities. Companionship, affection and attention are a must when caring for your pet.
About: I started walking dogs as a first job when I was a kid! My family and I have always had dogs. Our most recent dog is an adopted mix, named Gogurt! I’m experienced caring for the pets of my family and friends. Looking forward to meeting your four legged friends! I am currently working PT, and have been with the same company for 30 years. I have flexibility on my off days, and can manage hours during the days/evenings. I am happy to meet your schedule needs when possible! At this time, I do not offer overnight services. In addition to walks and drop ins, I do home care during the day in clients’ homes.
About: I worked with ARL Boston, where I gained expertise on behavior, training, nutrition, and basic veterinary care procedures such as vaccinations, insulin injections, and treating a variety of ailments. I encountered a variety of animal breeds of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from sharky golden retriever puppies to old grouchy senior hounds who despise going inside after a good walk. In addition, I majored in animal science in high school and am currently pursuing courses in animal behavior and zoology in college. I am available on weekdays and weekends with a minimum of one day's notice. On same-day notice, I may still be available and accepting requests, so please contact me. However, with shorter notice, it is less likely that I will be available. In the client's house, I’m going to use caution when meeting their animal (I am in their space and need to make a positive first impression). Even if they are known to be pleasant, I will still take my time getting to know them. This allows me to earn an animal's trust while ensuring that I am aware of their behavioral cues and handling preferences. Once mutual trust is established, we’ll have a great time enjoying all of their favorite activities together while staying safe.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last seven years. For the last two years, my fiancé and I have had three dogs: A pug, a Shih-poo, and a beagle. Our puggy and beagle recently passed. I have experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and some puppy training. I also have experience bathing animals. I’m generous with the treats and even more generous with the snuggles! I work from 9-5 M-F but am remote on Mondays, Fridays and alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can do drop in visits for walks any time during weekends and in the evenings and occasional afternoons during the week. We have a fenced in yard at our home, but our babies also get walks. With me, your pet will come first and always be treated like one of my own.
About: I have nine years of experience owning and taking care of an adopted dog. I have about two years of additional experience pet sitting and walking with dogs of all sizes, from young to senior pups, as well as cats. I am a recent college graduate currently job searching, so my schedule is very open at the moment. I am available most weekdays and weekends for overnight stays or daily check ins. The safety and health of your pets will be my number one priority. I will make sure your pet gets more than enough attention, exercise, and love!
About: Holly is the founder and primary dog walker at Down With Dogs Pet Care based in Weymouth, MA. She has cared for animals since a young age and is licensed, insured, and pet CPR and first-aid certified. Rescuing her dog, Rumi, and training her inspired Holly to want to work more with animals. She found that reactive dogs especially respond well to her calming nature and clear communication style. She also has a senior cat with medical needs named Coco who is her first baby. Holly has a special place in her heart for the kittys too! With a background in Marketing and as a registered yoga teacher, Holly started caring for her neighbors’ dogs in 2022 while they were away on travel. Four years later, she worked with a local dog walking company before starting Down With Dogs in 2026. Her signature offerings include dog walks, hikes, small play groups and drop in visits during the day time while pet owners are away at work or vacationing. Holly love spending time outdoors and getting to know your pet’s routine while offering them the critical exercise and companionship they need to live a long healthy life! Message Holly to discuss your pet care needs today! I enjoy walking dogs or making house visits during the week days when my children are at school (mornings, mid day, and early afternoon). I’m also available for evening and overnight visits in your home on a case by case basis. I’m looking to find clients who I can grow with and essentially become a part of the family. For now I’m offering care in your home or visits with your dog like walks, hikes, or play groups at an outdoor dog park. For overnight visits, I recommend visits 3 times in the day: once in the morning time for breakfast and a walk, once again in the afternoon, and then a night time visit as well before bedtime.
“I can’t say enough good things about Kristen! She came by for a meet and greet and was so in tune with Crue and his demeanor, she was so calm. He is nervous around new people and he LOVED her! We had some technical difficulties (completely my fault) and she was so communicative and stuck around until it was fixed. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone ! Crue can’t wait to see her again!”
About: Hi! I've had two dogs in my lifetime, and have experience at a dog day care training facility for 2+ years. I have experience in walking and pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I currently work part time in the mornings, but I am available any time in the early afternoons and evenings. If needed in the morning, let me know and we can work something out! My knowledge and constant attention to each individual pet's needs is crucial to proper care. Whether it be play, feeding or simply being there to make them comfortable.
About: I have never been without a dog! My family and friends rely on me to walk, dog sit, and snuggle their pups. At parties, you can find me on the ground giving belly rubs to the hosts dogs! I am a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time during week to pet and walk your pups ! I am open to taking on dogs that need weekly consistent walking. I love talking dogs for long walks ! I have big yard and quiet neighborhood. I have one older lab who can play or be put away
About: I am the girl who will stop traffic to help an animal. Animals make me happy and really bring out the best in everyone. I enjoy seeing people smile. I currently work full time but remotely. So as.long as there is WiFi available then I will can be flexible. Weekends are usually every other due to having my son. I can be very flexible for needs of pets. Dedicated as if they were my family. Love, snuggles whatever is needed. Trusting for all pets
“Awesome walker and an even better person! Alaina was very caring and attentive to my little guy’s wants and needs. My dog had such a good time with her. Would definitely recommend Alaina to any pet parent out there.”
About: I have been around dogs and other pets my whole life! I grew up with Rottweilers and my family currently has Bernese mountain dogs and boxers so I understand the energy that fuels these big babies. I have experience with cats along with other animals ranging from farm to reptile. I have changed dog diapers, administered medications, and have provided care from puppy to senior. My current life does not allow for a dog and I just have a lot of love to give! I’m a teacher on summer break who also does not have much of a social life. I am very flexible currently and can fit with your schedule! I’m comfortable with what you are comfortable with! I have administered meds, changed dog diapers, and understand the importance of a watchful eye (my family dog will eat poop if she could).

Nicole has been walking my dog Banjo for a few months now. She does a wonderful job communicating, giving me a recap of their walk together and making sure he has food and water before she leaves him. She's attentive to detail and highly responsive. Definitely recommend!
Madeline has been walking our Pittie for several months now and does a great job burning her energy out! It has spoiled her and our dog now expects an afternoon walk everyday. Madeline also lets us know if she notices any issues with her habits or stools so we have another set of eyes to help in our busy schedule.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
