Dog Walking Roxbury

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life since I was born. I’ve been taking care of them for about as long as I can remember, whether they’re mine or a family/friend’s. I’ve trained my dogs and taken care of all sorts of age ranges, from puppies to 13+ year old dogs. I volunteer part-time so when I’m not volunteering, I try to take the time to do pet care. Since I have the free time, I’m doing it frequently. I have experience taking care of all kinds of dogs. I’ve given dogs meds, I’ve dealt with super hyper dogs that need to be walked for 2 hours to calm down.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with pets of my own at home — 3 cats and an English bulldog/pit mix I co-parent — so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I also work from home, which gives me great flexibility for walks, visits, and drop-ins throughout the day. I offer dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet like they're my own — plenty of love, playtime, and attention to their routine. I have experience on Rover already and take pride in clear communication, so you'll always know how your pup is doing. Whether it's a quick walk around the block, an overnight stay, or a mid-day check-in, I'm reliable, punctual, and genuinely happy to be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Working from home means pet care blends into my day naturally — walks, feeding, and playtime with my 3 cats and bulldog mix happen easily between tasks. In my own home, my pets have a safe, consistent routine — fresh food and water, playtime, and a comfortable space. In a client's home, I follow the same standards: I stick closely to your pet's existing routine and instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior and safety, secure doors/gates, and make sure the environment stays clean and comfortable the whole time I'm there.

“David is awesome with handling puppies, adults and dogs who are more anxious. Our dog gets so excited to see David everytime he comes. David does a great job of tiring them out and giving them opportunities to be social and get play time with other dogs.”

“Viktoriia was great!! She sent updates and pictures during and after Penny’s walk. She was very communicative and went above and beyond my expectations. I already requested to book her again!”

“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.”

About: I’ve found my love for taking care of pets since I was 4 years old. From caring for my first pet as a child to being an aunt to my best friends cat in PA school, I am highly trusted to provide high quality care and unconditional love for any pet in my presence. My schedule is flexible! I’m a physician assistant, so my weeks are a mix of clinic and administrative work. Depending on my schedule, I’m able to stop by before work, during lunch, or after work. I’m also happy to do stay-ins when needed! My weekends tend to be especially flexible as well, and I’m always happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pets’ needs as much as possible :) My current living space is not equipped to offer care at my home, but I will care for any breed/size/age dog in a client’s home. I am adaptable and willing to do any tasks needed to ensure the pet feels loved, happy, and comfortable.

“Rebecca was great with my dog! Highly recommend”

“Loved having Channing take care of Betsy while we were away and it was great to come home to a well-walked, happy pup! Channing made fast friends with Betsy and took her on some great neighborhood walks. I loved getting the updates and pics of a happy Betsy after each visit.”

About: I love just about all animals. I have been helping sitting and caring for friends and neighbor's pets since I was 14. I also am an experienced farmer working with all kinds of farm animals(sheep, goat, ducks, chickens, cattle, horses, and farm dogs). I work a very flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate to the many needs of beloved and precious pets. I have Weekends and weekdays availability. I always strive for safety 1st and be clean and organized in whatever care I provide. I personally don't use chemicals around my pets or myself. I also lean on professional vets or trainers for advice in case of situations I may not be familiar with.

“I can’t say enough good things about Dejah. She is responsible and communicative, very reliable, and always patient with my dog. An amazing dog walker and a great person for your animal!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved being around them and getting to know their different personalities! I enjoy going on walks and staying active, so I love making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and I’ll treat your dog like my own. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for! I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, from mornings to late afternoons! I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they get the time, attention, and care they need. I primarily offer dog walking and care in clients’ homes. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each home and attentive to every dog’s individual needs and routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away!

“Katie is always responsive and makes sure that Henry’s needs are met. He’s an older guy with aches and pains and she makes sure we know how he’s doing on their mid-day walks!”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover, proud dog mom to three rescue pups, and the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue! Through running my rescue, I've had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I've gained valuable experience with everything from energetic puppies to shy, fearful dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I also have extensive personal experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, allergies, autoimmune issues, and behavioral challenges. My own three rescue dogs have taught me that every dog is different, and I truly believe in taking the time to understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm comfortable working with dogs who may need extra attention, patience, or a slower introduction to new people and environments. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers a relaxed stroll, or just needs some extra love and companionship, I'm happy to accommodate what makes them most comfortable. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My goal is to provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs, while making sure you feel comfortable and confident that your furry family member is in good hands! I work full-time remotely in the legal industry, but I also own and operate a nonprofit dog rescue, so caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! My current work schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs throughout the day and week. As a dog mom to three rescue pups, I'm no stranger to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual care needs. I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to work around your pet's routine and provide them with the attention, patience, and love they deserve. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra companionship, I'm happy to help make their day a little brighter! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities! As the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue and a dog mom to three rescue pups, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I personally have a fearful, fear-reactive dog, so I understand just how challenging it can be to find someone who is patient, understanding, and willing to accommodate dogs who may need a little extra support. I've dedicated much of my life to accommodating my own dogs' individual medical, behavioral, and emotional needs, and I know that what works for one dog may not work for another. I understand that building trust takes time, and I never expect a dog to feel comfortable with me right away. Through both my rescue work and personal experience, I've learned the importance of respecting each dog's boundaries, recognizing body language, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I'm especially passionate about helping owners of anxious, fearful, or special-needs dogs feel confident that their pets are in understanding and compassionate hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines and follow all instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or specific behavioral accommodations. I believe in creating a calm, positive environment without forcing interactions or putting dogs in situations where they may feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed. I'm also more than happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel reassured while you're away. I know what it's like to worry about leaving your pets in someone else's care, especially when they have unique needs. My goal is to provide the same patience, understanding, love, and attention that I've dedicated to my own dogs, while making sure both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable!

“Jessica was very responsive and sent great pictures of boogie, we will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I've taken care of and have a love for dogs ever since I was little. I have 4 dogs that I help take care of when visiting home. I also have watched my neighbors dogs regarding feeding and playing time. I have a love for dogs, and enjoy spending my time with them. Some special skills I have is caring for older dogs, as I have 4 back home that I care for when I visit. I know when dogs want space, want to play, and when they need basic care such as bathroom breaks. I give my full attention when watching to give the dogs the best care they deserve! I am currently a college student who does not have class on Tuesdays and Fridays and am free on weekends. I am great with time management and very reliable when it comes to planning my weeks. I am very quick to respond to any inquiries about my skills and schedule. I am very flexible and punctual. I plan to care for your pets in your home by taking good instruction on how you would prefer me to watch your fur babies. Regarding playing time, feeding time, and bathroom time, I am very reliable and trustworthy when it comes to the care you expect from me!

“Nancy was great with my Setter Georgie! Many people say they'll treat your pup like he/she was theirs. Nancy truly does that! She is quick to respond, on time and my Setter loves his walks with her.”

About: Matt grew up with cats his whole life and in college had a pet snake, and later a dog. Sehej has had a family dog for the past eight years. Together, Elly has been with us for over five years making up our little family. We have experience house training, crate training, obedience and leash training; and are supporters of positive reinforcement. We currently work from home and take care of our own dog already. Elly enjoys having friends to play with while we’re working so we would love to have them over or to drop by and say hi. We live in a spacious apartment that is dog-friendly, receives plenty of sunshine for lazing around, and your pet will have plenty of toys, treats, (and energy from our dog) for playing and running around.
