“Oliver was great and handled my two weirdo dogs very well. I came home to happy pups and he communicated well. I would love to work with him again, thank you so much Oliver!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, which gave me a real appreciation for the extra patience and attention that comes with that stage of life. One thing I've always noticed is that animals tend to gravitate toward me naturally, in high frequencies that I like to say I'm a modern-day Snow White! But beyond that, I make it a point to connect with owners before anything else. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and understanding those details upfront is what allows me to provide care that actually feels comfortable and familiar to them. I currently have a flexible schedule while I'm building my career in animal welfare, which is a field I'm genuinely passionate about. That means I have real, dedicated time to give pets the attention they need, and it's not something I'm squeezing in between other commitments. My background in communications also means I'm big on keeping owners informed and updated, so there's never a reason to wonder how their pet is doing. When I'm at a client's home, I really try to keep everything as normal as possible for the pet. Just like humans, animals have their own habits so I stick to their usual routine, such as same feeding times, same walks, same everything so they barely notice their owner is gone. When we're outside, I'm always paying attention to our surroundings and keeping them safe. My goal is for both the pet and owner to feel like they're in good hands!
“Mengyao is a fantastic walker and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. We booked her on short notice but even still, she was able to accommodate last minute, was highly communicative, and asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she was well equipped to handle my two dogs—one of which can be a difficult walker. On top of that, she put me at ease by sending many videos and photos throughout the walk, which was very much appreciated! We will definitely have Mengyao walk our dogs again.”

“I knew a kennel was not something my dog would do well with and I am so happy I found Jana. I met with Jana before booking and I was immediately comfortable with her. Very happy with the care she gave my dog while we were traveling. I will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Morgan and Meaghan were great! They were very easy to work with. On top of that, they were very flexible with our last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good dog sitter.”


About: I have taken care of friends’ dogs during trips and overnight visits, feeding, playing with, and walking them. I love spending time with pets and am open to caring for any type of dog. I’m currently looking for temporary work and have a lot of free time! Available for day visits as well as overnight, whatever is needed. I am a gentle and adaptable animal lover and I enjoy playing with, caring for, and spending time with dogs and cats of all kinds.
About: Dogs I’ve called family have included seniors, disabled dogs using wheelchairs, little escape artists, strong-willed hounds, picky eaters, dogs that aren’t quite housebroken… But my favorite dogs of all are the couch potatoes who just want snuggles and a little time in the sunshine. I’d love to help care for yours! Available during work hours most weekdays. Based in Jamaica Plain and willing to drive. Available all day Tuesdays and Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays before 4pm, and Fridays after noon. Working part time and flexible. Open to overnight house sitting. Cannot care for pets in my home — will gladly come to you! If your dog has particular needs around food or medicine or crating, my attention to detail means you can trust me to keep your dog on a consistent schedule with everything they need.
“Elsa had a great walk with Gabriel, despite all the rain and mud! I appreciate his patience with Elsa, and was happy to show Gabriel how we do our walks! I believe Gabriel has a real appreciation and love for dogs which is what matters most!”

“Maggie is wonderful with my puppy Alfie. She takes him out for a walk daily; she is super professional and reliable. I know she loves Alfie like he is her own. We had a great meet and greet with her to ensure Alfie would be comfortable with her. I always get updates and photos from the walks. I know with absolute certainty he is in safe hands.”

“Caroline was great to work with! She was very communicative and worked with me to find a good time to meet my dog and take him for a walk. He was very happy and tired when he got back. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Caroline again!”

About: I've been taking care of all types of critters professionally since 2011, with my experience ranging from horses to pocket pets. Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember-so I turned pet care into a career! With over a decade of time spent working as a Certified Veterinary Technician, and the majority of that time pet sitting on the side, I can confidently say the passion has not swayed! While I do work full time during the weekdays, my weekends and evenings are flexible for those late night walks, dinner drop ins, or medication visits. I am very particular when entering clients homes. I tend to do meet and greets or phone calls prior to assure everything with your pets visit is as smooth and safe as possible!

“Tanya did a great job taking our boxer Nala on daily afternoon walks. She was great at communicating any changes in her schedule with me, flexible to meet my needs to care for Nala, and always polite and professional. Thank you so much for you help Tanya! It was comforting knowing that Nala was in good hands while we were away.”

About: Hi guys! I have a yorkipoo and have experience training my own and others dogs. I like to do fun mental exercise's to stay stimulated while indoors. And and able to do tasks for a dogs care such as care for elderly dogs, give medication per requests of owner, and any other special accommodations. It’s a fun experience over all and my dog loves having other dogs as guests in our home, other wise she’s very respectful and can pick up on their energy. I am a remote health care worker and have a flexible schedule to be able to attend to daily routine. Me being home assures their safety and that everything is smooth during stay. I am able to separate dogs while I feed them, and also my complex has the space for the dogs to run around in a closed fence outdoor. I can keep dogs busy during the day with toys and interacting games!

Teddy was fantastic! He was a great communicator and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Our golden retriever puppy Maple clearly loved her walks with him! It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking Teddy again in the future, and it’s especially helpful that he’s available for last-minute walks. Highly recommend! 🐾

Grace was wonderful with Zuni! She jumped right in to help with a last-minute request, was flexible with scheduling, and incredibly communicative throughout. Zuni clearly loved her and had such fun on their walks. Grace was always timely, attentive, and easy to coordinate with - we’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her!

Nick is very pleasant and he responded very quickly to the request for a dog walker for my two beagles. It was a very smooth process to set up an appointment that worked for me. He came for a meet and greet which allowed me to feel confident that the dogs would be fine with him.. Nick arrived on time the day of the walk and was very responsive to Copper and Casey.needs. I will definitely reach out to h8m for dog walking 8n the future!
