About: I am an experienced pet owner who has had the pleasure of caring for a variety of animals since I was a kid, including large dogs, cats and everything in between. I have a deep love and respect for animals which has allowed me to become an attentive and compassionate animal caregiver! I love walking dogs it’s one of the best days to connect with them while giving them fresh air and exercise. Taking them to the park, beach, or strolling the neighborhood nothing brings me more joy than hanging out with a dog! As a runner and gym goer, I start my days early and would be ready to go for a dog walk well before sunrise if needed. I schedule the walks and playtime before my other commitments giving me plenty of time to ensure they are fed, walked and comfortable. It starts my day off right with extra fresh air! I do the same thing on a weekly basis, I plan out dog sitting and activities around other obligations while staying flexible. I want to have as many opportunities to spend with dogs as possible! With others homes regarding pet sitting, I respect the existing pets schedule for walking, food and water keeping a consistent schedule that they are used to. I love spending time with dogs and pets, giving cuddles, attention and just hanging out with them! I make sure to maintain safety, checking doors windows and gates before leaving and the space clean. I also make sure to regularly check in with the owners including photos so they can know their pet is in good hands and doing well!

“Ashley was friendly , polite, reliable, great attitude, and my dog warmed up with her right away. Freedom had a great time on their walk and ran back to thank her so I could tell he was very happy . I would definitely recommend her as someone you can trust with your dog , even if the dog is tentative meeting new Dogwalkers! Good luck Ashley!”


About: Feel free to request me outside of my availability. Will say yes if I can! Love dogs and going on walks during the day to get out of the office. Good to walk around the city or go to a local park and play ball. Experience with dogs since childhood and has owned dog. Owner of a puppy until senior death. I am currently working Monday - Friday full time along with another part time job. Looking to get out of the office and be a part of a dogs life again without owning one (my apt doesn’t allow them). Cannot keep pets in my apartment. More than happy to go to your home. Please leave notes for best/preferred care for animal if needed :)

“Angela was great with Haisley! She is super communicative and kind, Haisley loved her as soon as she met her. She checked in when it was snowing to make sure Haisley was comfortable for her walk. It is great having a dog walker you trust who is kind and communicative. Thank you Angela :)”


About: I have been caring for the pets of friends and family for over 8 years. I am the primary pet sitter for my mom's dog when she travels. I work from home and can drop in at lunch or before or after work. If needed I am happy to hang out for a longer period to play with your pet as well. I can stop in to feed your cat, change litter, fill water, or play with them. I am comfortable with traditional litter boxes or cleaning and refilling robotic ones.

About: I have a 3 year old Portuguese water dog, Jaxon, and am an occasional dog foster for Boston Animal Rescue League. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds! I work from home most days and am always looking for an excuse to get outside! I would love to have a new friend join me for my walks! I replicate the guidance given to me in others home and make the care as consistent as possible. I am available for boarding but need to have introductions with my dog prior to booking!

About: I've grown up with two dogs, and I have been a animal lover my whole life! I care about every dog I come in contact with, and I want to make dogs as happy as they make me. I am comfortable walking and sitting any size dog, so please reach out if you need any help! I work full time 9-5 but am available anytime before or after those hours! I am ideally looking for weekend hours, but am flexible with whatever is needed (after work walks etc.) ! I live in south Boston so I would prefer to stay close by. I will devote my attention to walking and caring for your dog. I do not have my own supplies, so I would need to use owners' supplies!

About: Hey there! Thanks for stopping by :) I currently work from home full time so have a flexible schedule when it comes to walks, boarding and day care. I’ve grown up with pets and have done Rover sitting for a bit now— I most recently adopted my own pup named Vito. He is so sweet and so good with other dogs. He does well with other dogs in our home and in other environments and walks well with a friend too:) Since I work from home I can cater to numerous potty breaks and walks and keep your pup on a good schedule. We have all hard wood floors, two floors of living space and a closed off roof deck that Vito loves to enjoy. No fenced in back yard but I live right by a few different parks and the beach is a quick walk down the road. Contact me with any questions— we look forward to meeting you:) I currently work from home full time so I’m able to have a flexible schedule and cater to whatever your pets needs are when they’re staying with us. No fenced in yard, but a closed off roof deck for controlled outdoor time when just “lounging”. I personally crate train my dog but am happy to follow whatever plans you have in place with your pet. Lots of walks and belly rubs and time socializing with my own dog Vito :)

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced and passionate dog sitter who’s had the pleasure of caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels—from two playful French Bulldogs at once to a gentle senior Great Dane. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I pride myself on providing personalized, attentive care to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it's sticking to a special routine, administering medication, or just making sure they get plenty of belly rubs and playtime, I’m here to ensure your dog’s stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I truly love spending time with animals, and I believe the joy and companionship dogs bring to our lives is something special—I consider it a privilege to care for them. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else's hands, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your dog isn't just a pet—they're family—and I’ll treat them as such every step of the way. I am able to be fairly flexible with my WFH schedule and am located near plenty of walking loops and dog parks that I'd be happy to bring pups to during our time together! When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s—I aim to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment that closely mirrors their usual routine. I offer plenty of walks tailored to their energy level, enrichment through indoor and outdoor playtime, and dog park visits if permission is given and it’s a good fit for their temperament. I make sure your pup gets the right balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. If they have specific routines, feeding schedules, medication, or quirks, I’m happy to follow them closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away—whether that’s snuggling on the couch, practicing tricks, or going on an adventure around the neighborhood! Every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know each one so I can meet their unique needs and provide a happy, healthy stay.

Jayda S.
“Hello! I am a dear friend of Jayda's, and have known her for over four years. I am enthusiastic to endorse her on any of her endeavors - and I believe she would be the absolute perfect dog watcher / walker. She is among the most conscientious, responsible and caring people I have ever know in my life and I have always seen her as a well collected woman in complete control of her life. Her passion and love for dogs has always been made quite clear - she was raised in a dog family and would frequently take on the role of dog sitter for weeks at a time while her family members were out of town. I find her to be more than trustworthy in these regards and believe she would do her job in an orderly manner with passion!!”

“Haley did a great job walking our dog. He is nervous and she was willing to meet with us beforehand and was very attentive to his specific triggers.”

Soo is the best. She’s reliable, communicates often, and is always on time to pick up our dog. She keeps us informed with quick updates, which we really appreciate. It’s obvious she cares about the dogs she walks, and ours is always happy to see her. We’re very glad to have her help and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog walker.
