“When our dog sitter had an emergency, Alexa saved the day! She is amazing with our 2 senior beagles, is reliable, and so sweet. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in such reliable hands, on short notice. It was an easy decision to have her care for my dogs again and again.”
“I was a nervous wreck leaving my fully work from home job to move to an office because I was scared to leave our pup, but Ying has been 100% on the ball. She is professional and communicative. Can’t recommend her highly enough through her first week with our dog!”
“Lauren has been so thoughtful and kind with our pup Keira! Keira had recently been bit when Lauren started with her, which meant she had some reactive behavior around other dogs. Lauren kept us updated every walk on how she did, and was open to using some of the training methods we used with Keira to help on walks. I would highly recommend Lauren for walks with your dog!”
“Rebecca was wonderful! She took the time to come meet Mr. Lahey before care and he immediately could tell she was a true animal lover! Did a wonderful job caring for him, as well, and very good at communicating! Highly recommend Rebecca for all your pet needs haha”
About: I’ve been babysitting my friends' dogs for the past two years, which has given me a wealth of hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to their well-being. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, ensuring they receive the gentle attention and special care they need.

About: Dogs are more than just pets…they’re family and vital companions in our daily lives. With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (from geckos to Great Danes), I bring a calm, attentive, and knowledgeable approach to dog sitting and walking. I am currently in a mentorship and shadow program intensive to also become a dog trainer, so your dog will also get to practice some skills with me! I come equipped with extensive knowledge in dog behavior, body language, and training. My journey with dogs began early with family pets and expanded into dedicated pet sitting for neighbors and friends. As a lifelong learner, I’ve spent years studying dog behavior, body language, and communication styles through training my own dog. I have experience working with reactive dogs, maintaining strict routines, and using consistent, structure to make every pup feel safe and secure. I also regularly assist a close friend who is a professional dog trainer, which has given me great insight into handling diverse personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Outside of pet care, I work as a mental health therapist. My professional background deeply informs how I interact with animals. I understand the reciprocal bond between humans and their dogs, and I treat every animal in my care with the utmost empathy, patience, and respect. What to Expect Attentive & Safety First Care: Whether keeping up with medication, supporting structured routines, or managing triggers on walks, your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Active Adventures: I love helping dogs explore! If your pup enjoys an active lifestyle, I’m happy to take them along for hikes, trail walks, or gentle runs tailored to their fitness level. Tailored Communication: You’ll receive clear, regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. Whether your dog needs a chill check-in, a structured neighborhood stroll, or a outdoor trail adventure, I’ll provide the exact same devotion, care, and attention I give to my own dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! *at this time, I am unable to take on dogs with human-based reactivity or separation anxiety* I currently work from home as a mental health therapist. I am able to make my schedule and work around your pet’s needs as needed! There will always be time for potty and play breaks. I have a large yard, as well as my dog who is crate trained. If staying at your home, I would love to be clear on your pet’s schedule so they can have consistency. I also love having adventure buddies, so if your dog likes to be out in nature for trail walks or swims, I’m your gal!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
We’ve met Sanela a few times at our dog park and knew she would be a great walker. She spends lots of quality time with both our mini aussies in the dog park and we really appreciate her! Can’t go wrong having her walk your furry friend(s), she loves all animals!
Yesika has been the greatest dog walker! She is responsive and communicative and kind. When I dropped Achilles off for an overnight stay, he was sooooo excited to see her. I already had no doubts that she was a good sitter, and that confirmed it for me and made me feel even better about having her care for my boy!
Page has been great with my boys! Always flexible on timing and last minute bookings. She has dropped in to make sure they get a little enrichment during my long work days as well as taken them on walks together. Very communicative with any questions and what their status is during the visit/walk. Highly recommend!
