About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14 for family, friends, and for friends of friends. I absolutely love all animals and would be thrilled to care for your pets and to treat them like my own I currently WFH full time. I have availability in the mornings and evenings as well as during lunch breaks and the occasional odd hours during the day given some notice. I am also available on the weekends. I live in an apartment where pets are certainly welcome for visits for shorter periods of time, but unfortunately it isn’t the best space for overnight stays. When it comes to your home, I am more than happy to follow any and all special rules or routines you and your pet have!

About: I have had dogs and been around dogs and cats my whole life! Love to take care of them and watch them. I have experience with pets of all ages and would love to help out in any way I can! I have dog sat many time before for friends and family! I work from home a few days of the week and have a flexible schedule to walk dogs. I also have lots of availability on the weekends as well! I am very gentle and caring with the pets I take care of. It’s important that the pet can trust you and listen to your authority when needed. Befriending the animal is super important so they feel safe!

About: I have watched and cared for friends/family members dogs many times (including overnights). My roommate in college was allowed to have a dog on campus so I would always help her as if it were my own dog. I love having the company of a dog especially now that I work remote and am very active so would enjoy bringing them on multiple walks. The backyard of my apartment is also pretty big and pet friendly. I am working full time mostly remote. I’m required to go in person certain days but I can do half days and leave at lunch as my office is very close to my apartment to be able to walk and be with the dogs. Would love to have a dog on the weekends when I am in town to keep me busy too. I have a yard in the back of my apartment that is big and pet friendly I am also right next to a park and lots of walkable, safe streets.

About: Hi, I’m Sophia — a lifelong animal lover and trusted pet care partner. Growing up in a home with three (or more!) dogs at a time, I’ve always had a deep bond with animals. Friends and family used to call me Dr. Dolittle because animals naturally gravitate toward me — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve been the go-to sitter for years, caring for dogs big and small, energetic and elderly. I work remotely, so your pup gets constant companionship, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m just steps from the beach and local parks for daily walks and adventures. Being trusted with someone’s pet isn’t something I take lightly — I take real pride in being reliable, responsive, and loving. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily drop-ins, I’m here to give your dog the same level of care and comfort they get at home. Let’s give your pup a tail-wagging good time — and give you total peace of mind! I work remotely, which means your dog gets plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m just steps from a beach and park — perfect for walks, fetch, and sniffing adventures. Can do scheduled drop ins at your house, daily walks or board in-home. I provide personalized, attentive care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm environment with plenty of love and supervision. I work remotely, so they’re rarely alone, and we stick to their usual routines as closely as possible. Pets are always free to relax where they’re most comfortable — whether that’s on the couch, their bed, or my lap! In a client’s home, I aim to be a seamless extension of your routine. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding and potty breaks to medications and playtime. I always respect your space and strive to leave your home just as I found it — or better. No matter the setting, my focus is on keeping pets safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Jenica is lovely! She is kind, punctual, great at communicating, flexible and considerate with my dog's unique needs, and my dog loves her. I recommend her for dog walking!”

“Cassidy was wonderful. She was extremely responsive and flexible with timing. She took our pup, Olive, on a fantastic walk and got to see the sights. Olive came back happy and tired. We definitely recommend her and would work with her again.”

“Amazing experience!! Took Sadie for a much longer walk (thank you soooo much). Did a group walk w/ two other dogs which is great for her to socialize since she thinks she’s queen bee. She’s certainly going to sleep well tonight! Thanks again :)”

“Elliot walks my young large German shepherd mix twice a week . He’s great , arrives on time , feeds her when I request it and Daisy loves her . I would highly recommend Elliot to anybody looking for pet care”

“Owen was friendly and dependable. We went on vacation and Owen was able to interface with my mother in law to walk our husky. I would recommend Owen to anyone and will use his services again in the future.”

“Grace is the absolute best!! She took such great care of our golden retriever Henry. We always could count on Grace’s communication, availability and kindness. We would recommend Grace to any dog parents look for a consistent and reliable dog walker. Your dog will be in perfect hands ♥️”

“Liz is not only so sweet to our pups, she is beyond communicative, making sure to keep us updated about their daily walks, especially our senior girl who has a tough time walking. We can always count on her to take good care of our pups! Would recommend any day!”

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 :)
About: I am home full time most work days! Our dog, Bagel, has been getting a lot better with his separation anxiety but we’re definitely familiar with the struggles of not being able to leave your dog alone, so we’re happy to work with you to find a solution! We have experience giving pets medication, experience with picky eaters, and with dogs with separation anxiety. We can take medium sized dogs but don’t like to take dogs bigger than 60 pounds! This is flexible if your larger dog is relaxed and easy to walk. We also prefer low-moderate energy dogs as it is more difficult to take care of a high energy dog alongside our beagle. I have recently graduated from my grad program and am looking for work, so am home most days during the work week! Our schedule is more unpredictable on the weekends, but we’re happy to work with you to accommodate. We have an unfenced backyard and two long tether leashes so your dog can hang out in the yard (while supervised!). Dogs are welcome on our furniture but not on the bed. Our dog Bagel likes to just hang out on the couch. He has lots of puzzle feeders and enrichment toys and is happy to share!

“Bethany did an amazing job with taking care of my dog! She is very quick to respond if I have any questions or requests. I love seeing a picture of my dog midday while working!”

About: I’ve cared for the dogs of my family, friends, and neighbors since I was in kindergarten. I genuinely LOVE spending time with dogs and taking care of them and will always put their wellbeing and entertainment first. My remote work schedule gives flexibility for walking and drop ins for dogs, in addition to very accommodating and available hours on the weekends around South Boston, South End, Back Bay, North End, etc. Dog walking I will always be on time, alert, and take your dog on however long of a week for his or her enjoyment. For dog drop ins and sitting, I will give my undivided attention to your dogs needs and entertainment following any instructions.

Sam was wonderful! She was very communicative, helpful, and attentive throughout her time with Mia. She was especially observant of Mia’s habits and behavior and always made sure to let us know if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. We really appreciated how thoughtful and attentive she was, and we would definitely have her watch Mia again!

Ardelia is terrific and has been taking excellent care of our two boys (terriers) Henry and Morgan. Ardelia quickly developed rapport with the boys, and has been excellent in her communication. Always on time and seems to genuinely enjoy our doggos and their quirky personalities. She also gives us informative updates about their walks. We feel fortunate to have Ardelia available to walk our sweet boys and highly recommend her services!

Carla is absolutely wonderful 10/10. She has been so reliable, kind, and attentive with my dog, and I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s in Carla’s care. It’s clear that Carla genuinely loves animals and takes the time to make sure my dog is happy and well cared for. She is also communicative and dependable, which I really appreciate. I would highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around amazing dog walker!

Thank you, Julio, for taking such good care of my dog, Jessie! Julio is reliable, responsive, professional, communicative, and genuinely cares about the animals he cares for. He stepped in to help me during the summer months, when I was in a busy season at work. I never had to worry because I knew Jessie was in good hands with Julio. I highly recommend Julio for any pet care needs!

Alexandra was an absolute pleasure to work with! She followed all of my instructions carefully, especially regarding the special needs of my Shih Tzu, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care, and I could tell he genuinely enjoyed his time with her, especially all the treats!

This was our first experience with a dog walker, and Emily was fantastic and went above and beyond what was expected. She has a great way of making puppies feel comfortable with her and you can tell she really cares! She sent us lots of pictures and a summary after each walk which made us completely at ease with the process.
