About: Hi! I’m a full-time remote financial analyst based in South Boston with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’ve grown up around dogs (my parents currently have two black labs 🐾) and have experience caring for family members’ and friends’ pets, including walking, feeding, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra playtime, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I work remotely full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, lunchtime, and evening walks, as well as drop-in visits before and after work. On weekends, I have even more flexibility for longer walks, check-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medications, and routines to help your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and will care for your pet and home with the same respect and care that I would my own.

About: I've never had a dog myself due to allergies in my household but I've always loved to take care of my neighbor's or aunt's dogs! I have also babysat for families with dogs and have really enjoyed it. I primarily walk, feed, and play with their dogs as I am an active individual! I'm currently working full-time as a nurse and I am looking to stay active on days that I’m not working! My schedule is a little crazy since I only work night shifts but I would love to switch it up and care for animals instead of humans on my days off :) I am unable to have pets at my apartment (I wish I could!!) but I would be sure to follow any and all rules that you have for your pets in your home. I am very trustworthy, careful, and communicative so you can feel safe with me at home with your dog(s)!

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: I have been a dedicated animal lover my entire life, having grown up caring for my own family dog. This lifelong experience gave me a deep understanding of canine companionship, from daily routines and reinforcing training, to providing the comfort and attention pets need when their owners are away. Beyond my own pets, I have experience caring for foster kittens and cats, as well as managing large, high-energy dogs. My background as an international au pair means I am highly responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable navigating others' homes. I’m currently living in Southie with a fairly flexible schedule, ready to provide support for you and your pets. While I work full time, I have plenty of flexibility outside my working hours for check ins, walks, and feeding time support your furry friends! For your pets: I will strictly follow the routines you’ve established. Whether it’s a specific feeding time, a favorite walking route near Castle Island, or a particular way they like to be tucked in at night, I maintain their sense of normalcy. For your home: I pride myself on leaving a space better than I found it. I love to send frequent updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Regarding security, I am hyper-vigilant about locking doors, arming alarms, and ensuring gates are securely latched. With cleanliness, you will never have to worry. I maintain a tidy home, handle light chores (like bringing in mail or watering plants), and ensure the litter box or yard is kept spotless. I am a respectful neighbor, and I do not have guests over. I’m happy to do a Meet & Greet beforehand to ensure we’re a fit!

“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine and would absolutely recommend her. She came twice a day for a full week, spending an hour each visit, and was incredibly attentive to our cat’s needs the entire time. She made sure everything was taken care of, spent quality time playing with our cat, and clearly built a great bond with her. Our cat really loved her. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our cat was in such caring and capable hands. We would happily book with her again!”

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.

Vee was lovely to work with from start to finish. She took wonderful care of Louis and was so sweet and attentive with him, spending time playing with him and giving him lots of cuddles. It was clear he was comfortable and happy with her, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily have Vee care for him again and would definitely recommend her!

Amber was fantastic! I reached out with a last minute need for someone to check in on and feed our cat Oliver while we were away for a few days, and amber responded super quickly and was even able to come over the next day to meet Oliver and get the lay of the land. She took excellent care of Oliver, sending regular pictures and updates, and it was such a relief to know he had someone looking in on him while we were gone. Thank you Amber!

Rebecca is a life saver, and exactly who you want watching your dog. My sweet pup is an anxious rescue with trauma, and this is the first time she’s had a sitter. I was so worried about how she would react to a stranger coming in and taking her for a walk, I honestly wasn’t sure if it would be possible. Not only did Rebecca get her to go out on walks, she even got her comfortable enough to snuggle! I’m so grateful to her for sharing her kind energy with the local dogs, we’re all honestly so lucky that people like her are on this app!!
