Dog Walking Roxbury

“My 11 year old blind, toothless and admittedly neurotic minpin has very strong “YOU’RE NOT MY MOM” energy. He has failed two dog walkers before Dave, seeing as they couldn’t even get him out of the house because he kept trying to nip their fingers with the few teeth he has left. After reading Dave’s reviews I decided to give it one more shot. Dave blew my mind when he sent me photos of Big Bear out and about, riding shot gun in the car, traipsing around the dog park. My beloved pain in the butt little dog won’t even let some of my FAMILY members take him out, more so since he’s gone completely blind. AMAZING. Highly recommend!”

“Catarina is a wonderful walker, and Winslow just loves her! She’s attentive and sends photos to update us on his walks; she’s also flexible with schedule changes. We will definitely continue to use her for our sheltie’s needs. Highly recommend!”

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.

“Jonathan replied to a very last minute request from us, and provided top notch care to our stranger-wary dog. He was communicative and kind and we would ask him for help in a heartbeat should we need to again.”

“Viktoriia is a wonderful and very caring dog walker! She walks my small shihtzu / yorkie every week. Viktoriia is always on time, incredibly thoughtful, goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is cared for and will always ask questions if she’s not sure about something. If you’re looking for a consistent and all round fantastic dog walker, Viktoriia is it! I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! My name is Megan and I’m a passionate dog lover and experienced dog owner. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs because I care for one of my own every day. I provide reliable, attentive, and fun dog walking and sitting services to help keep your pup happy, healthy, and exercised. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks, leisurely strolls, or extra time for sniffing and exploring, I tailor each walk to their comfort level and personality. As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care while in my hands. I currently am working as a nurse, and work typically three days a week. The other four days I am home and able to care for your fur baby! I will never accept booking on days I work to ensure they have proper attention throughout the day. I treat each pet that comes into my home as my own! That being said I do have a dog of my own who is very friendly with other animals. I ensure that they are well stimulated throughout the day with walks, chew toys, lick mats etc. I just ask that you give me any details you can to ensure your pet has a great stay/walk!

About: I have rescued birds, kitty’s that have been thrown in the trash and puppies. My cat has had 4 litters, I have helped her deliver all those kittens and I helped her take care of them like they were my own. I have taken care of animals since I was born. I have always loved them and trying to spend as much time with them as I can, they help me think and relax. I also want to work with animals professionally in the future, but we all start somewhere right? I also own two pets, one cat (Amanda) and a puppy, which is a rescue (Gigi) I can take care of small dogs and any kind of cat, I am happy with taking care of any breed. I don’t have any specific request, all I ask for is for specific times and dates, thank you!!! When I take care of pets I treat them like my babies, I make sure they’re fed, they get their playing time and also a few snuggles every couple of minutes. My favorite part is meeting them, these situations are always scary but eventually it turns into a kindergarten class lol.

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

About: Hi folks, I've always loved animals and it is a personal goal of mine to befriend any animal I meet (furry or not). At a party, you are most likely to find me at either the snack table or hanging with the animals or children. Especially with dogs, I give off a very playful energy, but I'm also a big snuggler and will give scritches to a furry friend for hours. I have experience living with and caring for dogs, cats, and rats. In addition, I have some training knowledge and will give positive reinforcement for good behavior and avoid reinforcing undesirable behavior. I'm currently working part time and usually have availability in the late mornings or early afternoons. If I plan ahead I can potentially be available later in the day, in the evenings (I'm a night owl), or even some weekends. In your own home or if I go on walks, I will ask questions to gain knowledge about temperament, comfort around other animals, and general house rules and preferences. I always ensure harnesses and leashes are secure and I have enough strength and good reaction time to hold on tightly if a dog pulls. When I approach a shy animal that is unfamiliar with me I am patient and offer a sniff of my hand first before giving pets, and I will pull away as soon as the animal signals discomfort.

“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.”

“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.”

“Rebecca was great with my dog! Highly recommend”

“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.”

Dylan R.

“Emma was an awesome walker! Great communication, prompt arrival, detailed report and could tell my pup was well taken care of. Would and will book again!”

About: I’ve been a devoted pet parent and animal lover for as long as I can remember. For 12 incredible years, I shared my life with my dog, Riley, who taught me so much about loyalty, patience, play, and unconditional love. Caring for her through every stage of life, from energetic youth to gentle senior, gave me hands-on experience with daily routines, behavioral cues, medication needs, mobility changes, and the importance of a calm, reassuring presence. What sets me apart is the kind of care I provide. I’m attentive, grounded, and truly tuned in to an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, following special instructions, administering medications, and keeping a consistent routine. I also love the joyful chaos that comes with puppy energy and miss having that playful spirit in my home. Whether your dog needs quiet companionship, structured care, or a fun, active environment, I’ll treat them the way anyone hopes their best friend would be treated: with love, respect, patience, and plenty of belly rubs. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home much of the time and have a flexible, self-directed schedule, which allows me to plan my day around a dog’s needs or any special routines you’d like followed. Whether it’s walks, feeding times, play breaks, or just being present and attentive, I’m able to give consistent care and companionship throughout the day. I’m also able to adapt for early mornings, evenings, and weekends as needed, so your pet gets steady attention rather than long stretches alone. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live on the second and third floors of a well-maintained condo on a quiet, residential street at the top of Jones Hill in Dorchester. The area is calm and ideal for walks, with plenty of space nearby for fresh air, sniff breaks, and movement without the chaos of heavy traffic. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I keep a clean, pet-safe space free of hazards and am mindful of food, plants, and small objects. I follow your specific care instructions closely — from feeding and walking routines to medications and favorite calming techniques — and I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly if anything seems off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, detail-oriented, and consistent. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own environment while keeping your space secure and tidy. My goal is always the same: to create a calm, safe, and familiar experience where your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and truly at home.

“Erin has been working for me for a few weeks with my puppy karma. She is really great always punctual and I love the pictures that she sent me :-)”

“Jasmine was great! She was very attentive to Theo and made sure to carry him up and down the stairs to avoid injury, gave him his food and washed his paws after the walk. I highly recommend Jasmine as a dogwalker! I will be requesting another dog walk from her soon.”

About: I have grown up around all kinds of animals, most notably my two dogs (15 + 16 years old) who have taught me how to take care of animals. I have also taken care of cats and family/friends dogs. I have a background in healthcare which can help me care for animals with medical conditions. I love all animals and will make sure all animals i take care of will be given plenty of love and care. Currently I am finishing up my spring semester, but i will be free during the summer most day, except for when i go to work (maximum 4 hours a day). After finals my week days will be pretty open and flexible. Dogs are welcome in my home because my three roommates and i all have dogs at home and are able to take care of the dogs when one of us is unable. the dog will be taken on walks and be surrounded by love and attention. The dogs will be fed per their schedule and be active during the day accompanying me on my daily activities.

“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.”
