“Jose was very attentive and helpful taking our puppy for walks. He was very quick to respond and easy to work with. Looking forward to future walks when we need help!”
“David was great, he took my dog for long walks, played fetch, and even during the Christmas holidays he spent quality time making sure my dog was well taken care of. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“Dejah is amazing. She took such great care of my pup and cat.”
“Tan was very friendly and did well with my dog, Luna”
“Angelina was great with our dogs and I was nervous at first because of our breed of the 2 dogs and the size of our bigger dog most people are afraid of pits or are not to fond of them but she handled it very well. Did everything she was supposed to plus more. She was super kind and patient and our dogs loved her instantly. She provided great communication also. I wouldn’t know what we would have done without her while we were out of town but she gave me some relief. This was my first time and experience with the app and I loved it. I would rebook Angelina if I ever need assistance with Brick and Yola again. No matter the height or weight of a dog it didn’t scare her off , nor the excessive barking at times and the fact they love to jump on people lol. She was genuine and loved every moment from my understanding.”
About: Former pet parent with a heart for furry friends—I cared for mine with love until we had to part, and now I bring that same care to yours. From energetic pups to gentle seniors, I’m reliable, loving, and always keep you updated. As a former pet owner, caring for animals brings me comfort and joy. I’ve been looking for ways to reconnect with that part of my life, and pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Whether it’s a morning walk or an evening cuddle, I make time for pets like they’re part of the family. I care for pets like I’m stepping into their normal routine—whether in my home or yours. I follow your instructions closely and pay attention to what your pet needs, whether it’s play, quiet time, meds, or extra snuggles. My goal is always to help them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

“John has been great. Flexible with timing and communicative. We will book him again if available!”
“Lucky to have met Aymbré! She’s great.”
“Yasmin has been amazing! She has been walking Lemon for about a month now and she has been very responsible and communicative. She has also been flexible and willing to help when we need a change in the schedule. I highly recommend Yasmin for your pet needs.”
“Rebecca is amazing! I have two very challenging dogs (one super timid and the other super protective). She is SO patient and worked through all the quirks my dog was having during her stay and she is very calm and consistent with them! I highly recommend her for your dog walking needs!”
“Claire was excellent! She kept me updated and took some cute pics of my dog before/during/and after the walk. She even sent me a picture of my cat when she saw him after walking my dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I’ve looked after everything from playful puppies to chill senior cats, and even fostered a variety of animals from a local shelter. I offer patient, loving care and a calm, stress-free environment. When boarding in my home, I only take pets from one household at a time, so your furry friend gets my full attention and feels right at home. I work from home most weekdays, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! My schedule is flexible, and I’m mostly available on weekends, as well as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a secure apartment that’s perfect for cats and small to medium dogs. Cats can relax and enjoy plenty of natural light and views from my large windows, while dogs get fresh air and exercise with walks to several nearby parks just minutes away. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, loving care in a safe, clean environment where your pet can feel relaxed and happy.
“Krysta came for my dog twice in a day as I was away working for more than 12 hrs. She came at the most perfect times, even bringing in my packages for me and took my dog all over the neighborhood on the walk. I highly recommend Krysta!”
“There’s truly no one else I would trust with my dog more than Michael. He’s kind, caring, and so thoughtful with Oliver. My dog absolutely adores him! you can tell they have the best time together. Michael always sends great updates and the sweetest pictures that make my day and give me peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands. He’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and very responsive if I ever have any questions or last-minute schedule changes. I’ve been working with Michael for a long time now, and it’s been nothing but a wonderful experience. He really goes above and beyond! from drying Oliver after rainy walks to remembering little details about his routines and quirks. I honestly don’t know what we’d do without him. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my compassionate experience with dogs, especially senior dogs. Growing up with dogs, volunteering at shelters, and dog sitting, have given me a lifelong understanding of their care, and for the last 3 years I have worked as a veterinary care coordinator with Lap of Love, a mobile in-home end of life care service. In my role, I assist families through emotional and challenging situations end of like journey, helping them navigate decisions and providing support during a difficult time. My work has given me invaluable insight into the unique needs of pets. Having recently lost my 15 year old dog, I can relate to the extra care dogs need. This experience has only strengthen my empathy, patience, and commitment to giving each pet the best possible care. I am dedicated to ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just as I would for my own. I am currently working from 7am - 4pm Monday - Fridays. I am normally available during weekends at anytime or on evenings for week days. I am currently pursuing my Master’s at Northeastern and have classes on Monday until 9pm. I will follow safety guidelines provided by the pet’s family. I will make your pet’s safety my outmost priority. I would prefer to speak to the family via phone or zoom before committing to care.

Jacklyn V.
“We had the pleasure of having Jacklyn watch our two dogs—a Yorkie and a Frug—while we were away on our week-long anniversary vacation, and she did an absolutely amazing job! One of our pups was dealing with an ear infection and needed extra care, including timely medication, and Jacklyn handled it all with incredible attention and love. She went above and beyond in making sure both of our dogs were not only cared for but also comforted and happy in our absence. Her genuine affection for animals really showed, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We highly recommend Jacklyn's dog services to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive.”
