“Over the last month Jana has been walking Pitzi when we need it and has been very accommodating and reliable. We’re very happy to have Jana there for Pitzi ☺️”
“Sarah was awesome at accommodating a last min walk and was so sweet with my pup. She asked great questions and was nice enough to leave out fresh water for my dog when she left. We look forward to having Sarah help again soon!”
“Alicia did a great job doing lunch time walks for a week on short notice. She was communicative, on time, and handled our rescue pup’s needs and tricky walking style extremely well! Would definitely hire again, and enthusiastically recommend.”
“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”
“I the MOST wonderful experience with Kaylee. She was amazing, highly communicative, and truly went above and beyond in caring for my dog who struggles with separation anxiety. She was attentive, patient, and proactive in managing my dog’s needs which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was a true lifesaver. I would highly recommend Kaylee to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I would have loved to continue working with her long term if she wasn’t moving to a different state, and I would do so in a heartbeat.”

“Zach has been a lifesaver. He is available on short notice and really loves my girl Ella. She loves him too! He always sends updates about his timing and leaves detailed notes about the visit. Highly recommended.”
About: Since I can remember, I have always been an animal lover. There has never been a time in my life when I haven't had a dog or was helping to care for a friend or neighbor's dog. In 2003 while living alone in New York City, I adopted an 8-week-old pit bull / Lab mix who I was lucky enough to have in my life for 16 years! Lexie was the most loyal and loving dog, and my experience raising him encouraged me to help other dogs in need. After moving home to Boston in 2004, I started volunteering for the Milton Animal Shelter and MSPCA, walking dogs and helping to clean their cages. I also joined a local pit bull rescue where I would work at various adoption events, conduct home visits for potential adoptees, and speak to elementary classes about dog safety and how to be compassionate towards animals. I also completed a week-long course at the Boston Animal Rescue League to help shelter volunteers get a better understanding about the individual personality and needs of the dogs in their care. In 2014 I started a dog walking business on the side which was very rewarding. I had 3-5 dogs I cared for daily and loved the opportunity to work from home as a graphic designer, and get out of the house and play with so many amazing dogs during the afternoon. My husband and I have two children ages 9 and 7, and the most playful, well-tempered 2-year-old Boston Terrier, Rocket. He gets along with all people and dogs and would love another dog or two to play with during the day. Both my husband and I work from home and can assure you that your pet will have all the love, care, and attention it needs while you're away. Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you, Andrea My husband and I both work from home Monday through Friday and can assure you that your pet will have all the love, care and attention it needs while you're away. They are welcome to roam our home and we have a fenced in yard which they would always be supervised in. We also have a crate if they ever wanted some alone time.
“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.”
“If you have an anxious dog who struggles in meeting new people Luis is the best sitter/walker. Luis is extremely empathetic, patient and very accommodating. He goes at your dog's pace! I was worried about leaving my dog with anyone since he is challenging to work with and Luis has greatly eased my concerns.”
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
“Kristen was absolutely terrific. Our old dog has to spend long days alone when we are at work and Kristen came to visit her for walks and friendship while we were gone. She always sent wonderful updates about their adventures and was clearly very sweet to our old girl in addition to getting her some exercise. She even brought her a toy and left us a sweet card. I can't say enough about Kristen and how much we appreciated her. I can enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind knowing that their pet will be well loved and cared for.”

“Owen has been great! I can tell our pup looks forward to seeing him. He provides feedback on the walk and even helps reinforce the training habits we’ve been working on implementing with our dog. It’s fun to see the photo updates from the walk he provides. 5 stars.”

If you’re looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter, Cynthia is the one! She helped me out when I was in a tight scheduling situation and was able to fit me in on short notice. Milo was a little grumpy at first because he hadn’t seen her in a while, but Cynthia was patient, understanding, and somehow won him over. She handled everything with care and professionalism. She even came back the next day to walk Milo for me, which I greatly appreciated. I am so grateful for Cynthia’s services and the peace of mind she provided. She is reliable, kind, and truly cares about the pets she works with. I will absolutely continue to use her services in the future. Highly recommend! 😘

Although it was her first time meeting Terry, she handled him with ease and took him on a great walk. She made sure he was comfortable by taking short breaks and offering him water when needed. She communicated with me throughout the visit, asked if there was anything else Terry might need, and followed all of my requests. I really appreciated her care and attention to detail.
AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.
