“Nyla absolutely loves her walks/adventure time with David! She also has opportunities to socialize with other dogs in a regular basis which is so very important to me to her overall well being. I appreciate David’s understanding of this and ensuring that Nylas needs and her little personality are recognized and appreciated. He has also,(more than once) been flexible in taking Nyla on last minute occasions if needed. He is also very prompt in responding communication wise.”
2. Lisa L.
“Lisa has been incredible with Tango. He looks forward to their walks every week and she always goes above and beyond making sure he gets his energy out, is happy, and hydrated. Thank you Lisa!”
3. Lauren D.
“Lauren was able to take care of my 10 year old dog at the last minute. She was timely, responsive, and sent great pictures! She went above and beyond by staying a few extra minutes with him, and was very thoughtful to give him a treat on her way out the door! Thank you so much Lauren, we will definitely be booking with you again!”
4. Margaret G.
“Margaret is so wonderful with my little Aussie, Evie! She took the time to do a meet and greet before our first walk and listen to Evie’s needs. She is always very quick to respond and extremely thoughtful about anything Evie might need (ie, fresh water after a walk). She is also just a delight to be around. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for loving, reliable care for their pet!”
5. Junior V.
“Junior is a long time friend, and a very trustworthy person. Everyone around him will describe as a first quality his sweetness and interpersonal skills, and you see how genuine that is when you see him interacting with animals too. Countless times I trusted him to host my cats when I was away, and they always had a great time.”
6. Sophia D.
“I highly recommend Sophia as a pet caregiver! She has been walking my dog for years and she has been great to work with. She is always on time and takes great care of my dog. You'd be lucky to work with her!”

“Any pet owner would be lucky to have Abigail as their pet’s caregiver. She is so trustworthy, responsible, & fun! My dogs absolutely love her and get so excited to see her. I highly recommend Abigail and I encourage you to choose her to care for your pets!”
9. Alison K.
“Alison is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! She is gentle and sweet with our dogs. She loves to hang out with the dogs, feed them and play with them. When she worked with us, she was always cheerful and responsive. I found her flexibility, willingness and respectfulness to be refreshing. Alison is dependable and just an all-around great person!! We will miss her down in Texas.”

13. Eliza K.
“Eliza has a kind and gentle nature that dogs are naturally attracted to. She has cared for my dogs on many occasions over the past several years. This year , she’s helped me with my mini dachshund puppy including walks, play times and overnights. She is always patient and loving with him and he gets so excited every time he sees her, knowing they’ll have a fantastic time together! I highly recommend Eliza, your dogs will thank you and you can rest assured she will take great care of them.”
14. Zoe H.
“Thank you for taking good care of Coco! :)”
15. Lauren O.
“Lauren was phenomenal with Dot! We could not have asked for a better walker and caregiver during a chaotic week. Lauren took special care of Dot by taking her to her favorite walking spots, stopping for water and fetch (which Dot loved), and hanging out with her after her walks to make sure she was safe during the heatwave. She went above and beyond and we could not have asked for anything better. Your pup will be in good hands with Lauren and I know Dot can't wait to see her again soon!”
16. Erika G.
“Took great care of Quinn for me, thank you!”
17. Allyson B.
About: I have had a dog my whole life and currently live with a 100 pound golden retriever in Southie. I am comfortable and confident with walking your dog and am aware that some dogs may not be as friendly. I can also run and play with the dog if they need more exercise! I am currently work at a dermatology office and am in the office 4 days a week. Therefore, I am available any time on my day off. I get home at 5:00 pm when I am in the office so I am available in the evenings most days. I am also free most weekend days for walks. The dog that I am walking will have my full attention. I am very aware of my surroundings and I will ask owners if their dog is friendly before allowing the dog I am responsible for to play with them.
18. Isabella D.
“Bella is a responsible and compassionate caregiver who would be the perfect candidate for anyone needing a pet sitter/walker. She would not only get the job done but I also know she would be loving and loyal to each one of these animals as if they were her own.”
19. Ryan V.
“Ryan communicates very well and does a great job walking our dog, she seems very happy afterwards!”
20. Natasha B.
“Our dog just loves Natasha! We do too for her kindness and flexibility :)”
