About: Having spent over 15 years caring for my dogs and other pets in my hometown, I adopted Roman, a lively mini dachshund, after graduating college. Since I wfh I have decided to open my doors to provide a playful environment for pets like yours. My residence is conveniently located near a dog park and ample walking areas. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors. Don't hesitate to reach out for further details; I'm excited to meet your furry family member! 🐾 I wfh so I have plenty of time and flexibility in looking after your furry friend. I can do multiple potty breaks and multiple periods of playtime enrichment activities! I live in an apartment so there is no easy access to roads from my front door. Pets are free to roam the space and I don't typically utilize a crate during the day but I do have one if needed.

16. Gabrielle F.
About: I am a HUGE animal lover. Growing up I had 6 dogs, 4 cats, 3 birds, 3 guinea pigs, and a handful of reptiles—hectic I know. However, dogs will always have a special place in my heart <3. I have been pet sitting since I was 16 and have fostered a few dogs. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and breeds with special needs like english bulldogs. I currently have a 4.5 year old boxer/jack russell mix named Gigi. She is extremely friendly and gets along great with other dogs, cats, kids, etc. Gigi is back home in Louisiana with my mom for the winter, so no worries if you dog does not get along with others. I am home during the day home most of the week, so can give your pet my full attention. I can provide walks/bathroom breaks as needed. In my home, dogs are treated like a full blown member of the family. They can have access to all of my apartment including beds and other furniture. I also have a large crate available if that is what your dog works best for your dog. My apartment is just a few blocks away from the beach, dog park, fenced in fields, and Medal of Honor Park. I currently bring my dog to the dog park twice a day, but can provide more frequent bathroom trips for your pet if needed. I have no problem with matching food schedules/restrictions and administering oral medication. I am here to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible-so please reach out if you have any specific requests.


17. Nolan O.


“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Nolan was with my puppy Tater. I work pretty long days and Nolan happily took my boy several days a week for 9-10 hours for $25 a day. A DAY!!! And he did it with pleasure. And he’s doing it again. And he’d probably pay ME instead... That’s how kind and flexible we’re talking. Nolan is officially my go-to person for puppy care and I couldn’t be more psyched to have connected with him. It should also be noted that there is a really awesome community of Tufts students on here who know each other and help one another out with scheduling. Nolan is one of several friends that I’ve been able to rely on and it’s definitely an added bonus to know there’s a circle of people willing to communicate and work together to get people like myself the care we’re looking for. Thank you so so much Nolan!”


18. Cara W.
“Cara is a wonderful pet caretaker. She has walked and fed our dog (golden retriever) many afternoons. She is responsible and very thoughtful. I recommend her 100%.”
