“Ciara came midday to walk our blind dog Lucy Goose while we were at work. She came over for a meet and greet before hand to make sure everyone felt comfortable and to receive any special care instructions after meeting our pup. She was attentive and sweet, even for our shyer rescue dog. Her messages after have been informative and we’d love to have her back again.”

“Georgina is wonderful! Our 1 year old pup absolutely adored her, and she provided great updates and photos after each walk while we were away. We hope to work with Georgina again soon!”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs. I’m patient, calm, and great at reading their behavior. Over time, I’ve helped train dogs with basic commands, leash manners, and socialization using positive reinforcement. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What makes me stand out is how much attention and care I put into each pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they get the right balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they always know their pet is happy and cared for. Your dog will be in loving, reliable hands with me.🐾 As a full-time college student, I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m available from 8–11 AM and again from 3:30–11 PM, and on Fridays I’m available from 3:30–11 PM. I’m also able to stay overnight on weekends if needed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, I’m very organized with my time and make it a priority to be fully present with the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit into my schedule. When I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always stick to their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding times, walks, or bedtime habits, so they feel secure while their owners are away. I give plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles, but I also make sure they have quiet time if they need space. If I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect as my own and always make sure everything stays neat and clean. I send regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are being well taken care of. My goal is for every pet to feel happy and cared for, just like they would if their family were home.
“I was very happy to have Rachel taking care of my dog while I was out of town. It allowed me to concentrate on my business at hand without worrying or feeling guilty about leaving the pup behind! She communicated with me at each walk and was willing to give my dog all the attention she needed. Thank you!”

About: My experience encompasses daily walks, meticulous feeding schedules, and recognizing subtle signs of distress. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, ensuring your pets feel secure and happy in your absence. My approach is tailored to each animal's unique needs, fostering a bond of trust and affection. I am going back to school to show my son it can still be done at my age. Your pets will fit into my schedule perrrfectly. I have a very loved 8 year old rescued cat that my son adores. Although I don't offer services at my home your pets will be loved and cared for like my own.
“Lori is the best! Good communication, on time, and sends pictures of Momo from their walks. And Momo is always so happy when I get home after Lori comes to visit!”

“Alyssa is wonderful with my new pup, Fiona!! She is very responsive, respectful and always on time for her visits. I know Fiona enjoys her time walking with Alyssa to break up the day!”

“We couldn't be happier with Nick's dog-walking services! Our energetic puppy absolutely loves his walks with Nick. After just two weeks of service, we can see a significant positive impact on our pup's behavior and overall happiness. Nick is just what we needed—reliable, friendly, and great with our furry friend. Highly recommended!”

“We booked Nina only a few days before our walk and she was terrific! She was on time, great at communicating with us, persistent and understanding with our pup, and even offered to come back later in the day. Thanks, Nina!”

“We hired Julius to do a dog walk for us and we will definitely have him come back soon to walk our pup! For the meet and greet he was thorough and polite. During the walk we knew our dog was well taken care of and got a detailed report card! Recommend him for your pet needs!”
About: I have had animals in my life all my life. I am comfortable working with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also worked with animals that have special needs, specifically related to senior care. I am capable of giving meds and shots to animals. I currently work part-time for myself so I'm able to schedule around your animal's needs. I am able to walk animals up to three times today. The most important thing for an animal is to feel safe while it's owners are away. I am here to follow any routines that your pet already has to maintain a sense of security and calm.
About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.
About: I just left my job after many many years. I worked in the addiction recovery sector. I have found myself still having so much in my heart to give I am retired and home so while I am babysitting your fur baby I will be sure to schedule things remotely. That way he or she will get the attention they need while you are away I take dogs on a walk regularly on a leash. Also, there is lots and lots of love to go around here for your fur baby while yo are away.
About: I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs! I am always the first one anyone in my family reaches out to if they need a sitter / walker! I also currently have 2 mini labradoodles, Bosco and Sparky who I love so much :) I just graduated college and am living at home currently, so my schedule is very flexible on any time or day for any type of sitting, drop in visit, or walk! I live in my house with my 2 other mini labradoodles and family. We have a fenced and very spacious backyard and also access to some very nice walking paths not far from the house as well!
