“Cassidy was amazing! Was so helpful, even with my last minute requests. Made sure the dogs were well taken care of. As someone who has never left her dogs with anyone besides family, I felt comfortable and relieved to have someone trust worthy like Cassidy to help me out and take care of my pups! Thank you, Cassidy!”

“Kathleen was great with Lexi! I asked her last minute too, so it was awesome that she had flexibility. My dog wasn’t so eager to walk at first so Kathleen was thoughtful enough to hang out with her at first and then try for a walk again. Will definitely use her in the future and 100% recommend her for any other dog owners!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my family my entire life so I am a huge dog lover. So much so that I took on the role of caring for my family’s senior Jack Russell at the end of her life. I also work as a nurse, and although it’s not quite the same as caring for pets, I have a true passion for taking care of others. I currently work as an oncology nurse in Boston with a schedule of 3 shifts per week, which often leaves me with multiple days off during the week perfect for drop ins, or day time pet sitting and sometimes long stretches of time off, perfect for boarding! I would treat them as if they were my own! I live in an apartment with no pets so they would have the whole place to themselves and my undivided attention. I also live near many parks that I’d be more than happy to take your pet to!

About: My name is Olivia and I have 15+ years of experience caring for pets! I grew up with dogs and have cared for all ages from puppy to senior. I have experience with a wide range of dogs with different needs. My college roommates included a rescue pit bull and a golden retriever puppy. My family has a young chocolate lab and a senior Jack Russel mix. I currently have no pets in my household and would love to make your pet feel at home! I have a flexible schedule and am around to spend time with your pets. I am very active and love to run and walk around the city. I am able to let dogs out during the day and will give them the attention they need! My home is spacious and I have room for a crate if needed. I have a fenced yard where your pet can run and play. I am great at following care instructions and pay attention to detail.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my life and grew up being responsible for their daily needs. In high school, I worked as a neighborhood dog walker, and throughout college, I provided pet-sitting services. I am also the proud owner of a senior cat, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving to care for your pets. I am currently employed full time, but I don’t work Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I’d be available for walking/pet-sitting for any weekend trips! I can easily follow owner’s instructions to maintain your pet’s usual routine, securing doors and gates, keeping harmful items out of reach, and even administering medications if needed. I provide regular updates so that pet parents can feel confident that their pet is safe and well cared for.

“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!”

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 have three years of dedicated dog-sitting experience, providing dependable in-home care for dogs while their owners were away. I regularly commuted to clients’ homes, followed their established routines, took them on walks throughout the day, provided meals and fresh water, and made sure all of their individual needs were met. In addition to my formal experience, I have frequently cared for dogs belonging to friends, neighbors, and family members. I’m comfortable providing attentive, patient, and reliable care for dogs with a variety of routines and personalities. I’m doing some part-time classes on Monday and Tuesday in the afternoon so I have a pretty open weekly schedule. I am also be open to weekend work as well! I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs and clients homes and I always try to leave the Home looking a little bit cleaner than how it looked when I arrived. I’m very clean and conscious of little and big things like locking up the house when I take the dogs out. I love making sure that the dogs are happy and comfortable around me whether they wanna play and walk a lot or they just wanna chill out, I am happy with whatever makes them happy!

About: I was always the neighborhood dog walker growing up, and had a personal garage door opener for everyone on my street! My family and I raised and trained a dog for America’s Vet Dogs, and I am newly an Aunt (my sister now has a long haired dachshund named Liesel) I work full time, but Mondays and Fridays I work from home and am very flexible! I am free most weekends, and am on Rover to make some extra cash, go for walks, and help people out in my community. I have a fenced backyard and 2 dog-loving roommates. Whatever works for you and your pet, let me know. I’m flexible with going to yours, them staying here, or just giving them some excercise and sunshine.

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.

About: My name is Stephanie and I am a huge dog lover. I have three dogs at home. My dogs are my world! I have experience dog sitting. I have fostered a lab for around a year, as well as cared for friends dogs when they are not around. My friends trust me with their dogs and pets because they know how loving I am with animals. The reason why I am on this app is to seek out anyone who needs additional help walking or pet sitting! I would love to get to know your furry friends. I recently graduated from Roger Williams University, and started working at a company in Boston. Since I am working from home and have a lot of free time on my hands, I would love to be able to dog-sit or walk! Please feel free to reach out to me for any help or information/questions you may have! :) I have a flexible work schedule as well as free weekends. I am able to help out throughout the week, or if you need me on weekends! At home, my three dogs go on three walks and have the most love. When it comes to dogs, I have always known they need a good amount of exercise to be happy and healthy.
