“Aislinn is the best! This is my second time booking with her and she is extremely accommodating. She sent me updates with pictures after each visit with my cat Sandy and went out of her way to refill her water dispenser each time which was very much appreciated! Overall, I couldn’t recommend her enough and I will continue to rebook with Aislinn.”

About: I have been babysitting families with pets since I was 16, so I have much experience with caring for pets! I love dogs and get excited whenever I see one on the street. I am reliable and loving and will give your pet all the attention he/she needs! I am a bedside nurse working at Mass General! My schedule fluctuates week to week, but my schedule on here will always be updated with when I am available :) I care for my pet by ensuring anything that could be harmful is out of his reach. I also stray from feeding him people food and make sure he goes on a long walk at least twice daily. I provide him with love when he wants it and give him space when needed.

About: Hello! I’m Miranda Mathews, a PA student with a lifelong passion for animals. I previously studied veterinary medicine and have taken several veterinary medicine courses, giving me experience with animal care and behavior. I have over 10 years of dog and cat sitting experience and previously worked for a professional pet care company as a dog walker/cat sitter for one year.

I currently work a 9–5, but I have a very flexible schedule on weekends and can provide plenty of time and attention for your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekends and can also do drop-ins, walks, and sitting after 5pm on weekdays or any time on the weekend. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I am very safety-oriented and always prioritize making pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for. As a PA student and former veterinary medicine student, I have experience caring for animals with different needs and administering medications when needed. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully and treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe, calm, and loving environment.

About: I’ve loved dogs as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and my sweet black lab Ellie still lives with my parents today. I frequently go home to see her but I miss having a pup around :) I’m a night shift nurse in Boston and work three 12-hour shifts a week. So I have plenty time to give your dog lots of love and attention :) Your dogs safety and comfort will always come first. I will follow all your instructions closely, making sure to keep them secure on walks while also giving them my full love and attention. You can count of me to care for your dog with the same love and kindness that I give to my own dog.

About: I've cared for dogs for as long as I can remember! I have experience with both large and small dogs and even dogs who need some extra attention. I worked in a local dog store for a few years in high school so I have a few tricks up my sleeve! I can truly say I find joy in caring for and entertaining your pets when you can't be there for them! I’m currently in a career switch and looking to make some extra cash while I build my digital portfolio. Therefore, I am very flexible and can work with you to find a plan that fits for both of us! I am very respectful of owners in-house routines for their doggos. I like to make sure to follow feeding/walking schedules to ensure comfort for both owners and their furry friends.

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. From daily walks and playtime to making sure they feel loved and comfortable, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. During college, I regularly pet sat and walked dogs for friends, neighbors, and local families, including young puppies who needed extra attention, patience, and care. I recently graduated from college and moved to Boston to begin my full-time career, and I’d love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy in my free time. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring new routes, or simply getting lots of attention and affection, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work a 9-5 Monday- Friday but my commute is short so am looking to dog walk in evenings 5:30pm or later! I am also free on weekends! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), walks, playtime, and any house rules. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. Safety is my top priority on every visit. I make sure dogs are always securely leashed during walks, pay close attention to their surroundings, and keep them away from anything that could be unsafe. I also make sure they have fresh water, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! From my own pup, to my sisters dogs, friends dogs and more. I treat every dog like my own with the utmost care and love. I will ensure your dog is happy and safe, while having fun and getting belly rubs! Outside of work my schedule is fairly flexible and I am available for afternoon/evening walks and care that may be needed. I will work with you to create the best schedule for you and your pup! I am very respectful of others homes, and would ensure your dogs needs are met and they are given some love before exiting. Our homes are our safe spaces, so I would ensure the door is locked when I leave and your dog is happily awaiting your arrival home!

About: I've grown up with two dogs, and I have been an 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: I’ve spent most of my life caring for pets of my own and pets of others. I have animals of my own at home including cats, dogs, and even horses. I compete around the country with my horses so my life revolves around animals and making sure they’re feeling their best! I work a remote marketing job which allows me lots of flexibility throughout the day to make sure your pet is properly taken care of. I work a completely remote position, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to adjust my hours when needed. I’m able to be around and give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm and welcoming environment where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout their stay.

Lily did a great job watching my cat, Bogey! She writes very detailed notes, sends lots of pictures and follows instructions to a T! She even went the extra mile watering my plant that she saw looked wilted and took out the trash. I can rest easy on vacation when I know Bogey is in Lily’s care! Thank you so much!

Could not speak more highly of Jenin!! She is incredibly thoughtful, empathetic, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Her notes were fun to read but also provided the essential information to know that my cat was safe, healthy and happy. Lots of photos were appreciated! Would definitely recommend Jenin 10x over!
