“Guillermo was absolutely amazing with our dog, Lola. He took such great care of her and kept us constantly updated with messages and photos, which really put us at ease while we were away. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Guillermo made the whole experience completely stress free. We could tell Lola was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. We’re so grateful for his attentiveness and kindness, and we would 100% trust him with Lola again. Highly recommend!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Thank you so much, Michiko and Cliff, for taking such incredible care of our Suki while we were away. Your love, patience, understanding, and daily updates made all the difference and gave us complete peace of mind. We are truly grateful for everything you did, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🙏🐾”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Zora was so well cared for here! Kate checked in halfway through our dog’s one day stay to let us know she had been walked and snuggled plenty. We will definitely reach out again when we need a place for our pup to stay!”
“Ashley and her family were lovely and warm and we felt immediately comfortable leaving our dog. He got along well with their dog and I could tell he was also very comfortable in their home. My pup is a high energy dog, not for everyone, but I really appreciated how Ashley seemed to like him for who it is and enjoyed the crazy parts of his personality! He came back to us in perfect health and happiness. So lucky to find her and we’ll definitely be bringing our dog back - if we can get on her calendar!”
“Can’t begin to explain how amazing Liz and the rest of her family were with my two boys ❤️. I knew as soon as we met the boys were going to love her. Liz is very cheerful, loving and attentive. She did an amazing job at keeping me up to date and most importantly making sure my boys felt at home and safe. I received daily pictures which included dj and beans taking car rides, walks, sleeping and just hanging with the family. If you love your furry companions as much as I do, book with Liz, you won’t be disappointed ❤️”
“We love Emily!!! Our dog was so comfortable at her home. Emily treated him like family. Her home is cozy, comfy and safe. She took him on long nature walks. Will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!”
“For us, Paul is the gold standard of dog sitters. He is attentive, communicative, and experienced, which lets us really be at ease when we’re away from our dog. Dougie bonded with him so quickly over his short weekend stay! You can tell Paul is a dog lover through and through and your dog will be so happy to get to spend time with him while you’re away. We’ve had Paul dog sit for us for years now and he will continue to be the first person we reach out to when we need a sitter.”
“My dog had an excellent time with Kaisi. Kaisi sent lots of pictures of her dog and mine at the dog park, walking in fresh pond, looking so relaxed and happy. Thanks Kaisi!”
“Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“Barb is fantastic! She went above and beyond for our Lizzie girl. She is dependable, warm and welcoming! You will never have to worry when your furry companion is in her hands!”
“Marissa took very good care of Conan, who is a bit anxious. He even did well with Marissa's dog, which she did in a controlled and easy way, which we loved because he needs some positive socialization. She took him for walks, and kept us informed, sending texts and pics. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Yi took wonderful care of our dog. We got frequent updates and lots of photos on walks and eating. This was our first rover, so our dog got quite stressed being in a new environment but Yi did a really great job of taking care of him during that time. She was very thoughtful for our dog and stress mess he made. We really appreciate her for that.”
“Our rescue hound, Biscuit, who had a troubled background, spent a happy week with Patrick. Our concerns about leaving Biscuit with a stranger for a week was assuaged by daily photos and videos of our boy happily napping on a bed provided by Patrick and exploring his new neighbourhood enthusiastically. Thank you, Patrick! We shall be calling you again! Dan Cronin, Hank Anderson and Biscuit Somerville”
“Michelle was fantastic! We were lucky she was available to take care of our dog for an extended weekend. Tito came back home a happy pup! We would happily book again.”
“Julie was amazing, it’s no wonder she has star sitter status! I always get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Seymour came home so content and relaxed!”
About: I have a dog of my own, so I know the deal. Walking my dog and hanging out with her is the best part of my day, and I would love for your dog to join. Weekends are my focus and I’m free for shenanigans and long walks! I have my own dog so 3-4walks on the weekend is our normal. I would consider weekdays, but we would have to talk because I work full time on site M-F, so during the week they would have a 20-30min morning walk and 1-2 afternoon walks. I have a well mannered dog friendly dog at home and I would care for your pet like I would mine…which means a lot of attention. Dogs would have to be able to do 3 flights of stairs or be pick-up-able

“Zijia took amazing care of my cat while I was away. My cat is usually shy around new people, but he warmed up quickly thanks to his gentle and patient approach. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a clean space. I would absolutely recommend Zijia to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter.”
“Hillary was so great! Chloë loved her and I felt so reassured knowing she was well-cared for. Hillary spent quality time with Chloë and sent lovely, detailed notes and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Meg was a fantastic with our two older cats who require a little extra in their age, and they both warmed up to her immediately. She easily took on daily meds for one who can be difficult and gave lots of attention overall to both cats. She was very responsive and sent great updates so I didn't worry at all. She even swept up litter and did kitty dishes before she left! Thank you, Meg!”
“Will is a very kind, considerate, caring, responsible, accommodating, cat lover and cat sitter. He warmed up to my hesitant, discriminating 12 yr old cat and won her over in just 1 day! (He was even able to get her to sit in his lap!) This is his 1st time taking care of my cat, “Sophie”, but I will hire him again, in a heartbeat!”
“We were worried about one of our cats who is still shy and anxious, and Jessica and Dave have kept a watchful eye on him, monitoring his health, and keeping the line of communication very clear and open. I am grateful ☺️”
“Anneke was such a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and put my mind at ease while I was away on holiday. I definitely recommend her for your next booking!”
“Sharon is wonderful with our cat! She is reliable and kind! We have had the good fortune of booking her multiple times and we hope to book her again the next time we're away!”
“Julia was fantastic! We spent a weekend away for our wedding and didn’t have to worry one bit about the cats while we were gone. Her reports were thorough and we came back to a clean home and happy cats!”
“Caroline was very friendly. She did a great job taking care of our cat Leo while we were away. Would highly recommend and rebook with her again the next time we go away! Thank you Caroline”
“Priety took great care of our two cats while we were out of town for the week. We appreciated the time she took to meet them beforehand and learn where everything in the apartment was. This was the longest we’d left our pandemic cats, who are pretty sure humans only WFH and never leave, but knew they were in great hands!”
“Tira was amazing and immediately put our family at ease. She cared for our cat for a full week while we were out of town for the holidays and was always quick to provide updates and thoughtful suggestions to help make our cat more comfortable. Our cat warmed up to her very quickly—which is rare—and Tira truly went above and beyond in terms of care. She is kind, thoughtful, and proactive, and we sincerely hope she will be available to help us again in the future.”
“Cynthia did a great job taking care of my elderly cat Simon while I was away. He has some specific diet and medication things, and she made sure he was well taken care of. She communicated every day and I knew he was in good hands!”
“Anna was fantastic! She visited my home to take care of my two cats while I was out of town. Anna was punctual and always provided an update with cute pictures of my fur babies after her visit. This was my second time booking Anna and I would definitely book her again!”

“My pup had the best time ever in the yard, chilling in the house, and befriending Betsy’s sweet dog. I even got a photo during the day. :-) Looking forward to her next stay!”
About: From the charming purrs of cats to the wagging tails of dogs, the colorful chirps of birds to the cuddly guinea pigs, and the delightful quacks of ducks, my life has been a joyous menagerie.

About: I'm an experienced dog-sitter and equestrian who's able to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. I work from home and am able to provide specified care for your pup while you're away, including: frequent walks, hikes in local conservation areas, and the administration of medications. I supervise dogs closely, can provide basic veterinary care, and live near an emergency veterinary office, just in case. I have my own dog in the home. When your dog is with me, they'll be cared for like my own with plenty of exercise, socialization, and love. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I currently walk and feed my own dog at 7:00am, noonish, 5:00pm, and 9:30pm. I can provide numerous walks for your dog each day during the week, and will take them local "adventures" on the weekends to local parks, Middlesex Fells Reservation, etc. My own dog is friendly and playful, and will keep your pet company.
“Andrew took excellent with my pup for doggie daycare. He gave Louie a walk and took plenty of pictures, I could see my pup was in good hands. I couldn't recommend Andrew more!”
“Ben was super flexible with our schedule and very quick to respond / help us out. The whole family jumped in to keep our pup well engaged all day, and we sincerely appreciate their support. Will absolutely reach out again when in need!”
“Tara was great!! Georgia had a great time and I received plenty of pictures which was awesome :) I would love love to leave Georgia with Tara again!”
“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”
“Jack was great with my two dogs! He let them play outside so much, they were both exhausted when I brought them home. I got plenty of picture and message updates throughout the day which was lovely.”
About: We’re a warm, dog-loving family in East Arlington offering a cozy, calm home for dogs to stay. We’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for years, and our 8-year-old daughter Ella is a gentle animal lover who loves joining in walks and cuddles. We work from home, have a fenced backyard, and host just one household at a time so your pup gets full attention. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge, or stick to a routine, we’re ready to make them feel at home! We work from home full time and walk to school each morning and afternoon—built-in walks for your dog! We’re available for boarding most weekends and weekdays with plenty of flexibility, especially during the day. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will be surrounded by people who truly enjoy their company. We have a private yard for outdoor time and will tailor your dog’s environment based on their needs—whether they’re crate-trained or free-range, active or mellow. Our home is calm, with no other pets, and we only accept one dog or family at a time to ensure your pup feels secure and cared for. We’re happy to follow any feeding, medication, or sleep instructions you provide.
About: I'd love to welcome your dog into our family (with 2 kids, ages 9 and 12) for daytime visits or overnight stays. I am working primarily from home, my calm Beagle-Mini Pin mix Sarah—affectionately called "the meagle"—enjoys having canine companions! With a lifetime of dog ownership experience, I'll ensure your pet receives expert care and plenty of entertainment, including regular walks in our nearby park. Whether you need daytime hosting, walking services, or overnight care, I'm happy to help. I am working primarily from my home office, so I will be available to walk, play with, and keep your dog company throughout the day. I provide at least three daily walks on a nearby walking path, plus additional indoor and supervised backyard play time (on leash, as our yard is unfenced).
About: I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for every dog. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and large breeds, including Golden Retrievers. I understand the importance of maintaining each dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I will treat your dog like a member of my own family and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am responsible, patient, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind with regular updates and photos. I study Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and I am home for the rest of the day. On weekends, I am usually home all day, so I have plenty of time to provide attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs and make sure they receive the care and love they deserve. I live with my boyfriend in a house, and we have a friendly 5-month-old Golden Retriever who loves being around other dogs. He sleeps in our bedroom with us and is treated like a member of our family. Every morning, he lets us know when he needs to go outside. Before we leave for class, we make sure he has fresh food and water, and we leave a puppy pad available in case he needs it while we’re away for a few hours. As soon as we get home, we take him for a walk, play with him, and spend quality time together. We also have a big backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. We regularly take our dog to the park, the lake, and even the beach because he loves the water and being outdoors. Since it’s just the three of us at home, we can give every dog plenty of attention, love, playtime, and care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy, just like they do at home.
“August was such a great babysitter for our dog Honey. We really appreciate the care she received including walks and treats. She had a great time playing with their dog Miu Miu. We appreciate it very much.”
“Deveney took great care of our dog, and she kindly accommodated a last minute booking and a later night pick up which was most appreciated! She sent great updates and pictures regularly and was quickly responsive.”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo genuinely love Fitzgerald. Their home is loving and they are kind, communicative, and considerate dog lovers. We love visiting them cause Fitzgerald always wags his tail extra hard during drop offs, and comes home happy as can be. Anyone looking for a loving pair to watch their pup would be lucky to have them say yes!”
“My cat had a wonderful day with Mia and Taowei and returned happily exhausted. They are very attentive and kept me updated all day, and their house has many great windows and shelves that are perfect for a curious cat. Thanks for taking him in!”
“Cheuck was so great with my dog Annie! I left my dog with Cheuck during the day while I was at work. He shared pictures and kept me updated regularly! I highly recommend Cheuck.”
“We appreciated Paul’s help with a last minute request to watch our pup for two days over MLK weekend. He was patient with Gracie, as she was getting used to being in a new person’s house.”

About: I’ve been doing drop-in visits for friends and family’s pets since I was 15. Never had a pet myself due to my parents’ allergies, so I love giving extra love and attention to other peoples’ furry friends. When I was a junior in high school I even built a local dog park for my Girl Scout Gold Award project, just to help local dogs have more fun letting out their energy. I’m happy to attend to your animals specific wants, like a snuggly or energetic pet, or one of those pets that has a little hidey hole to check in on. My work schedule is hybrid, so I can easily care for your pet while working. I’m always working from home Mondays and Fridays, and I can take on any other day of the week as well, as long as I have a few days notice. I’m happy to meet with your pet ahead of time to let them get to know me while you’re home. I’m used to building trust slowly over time with animals.

“Andrew did a great job with my senior nervous dog. He was able to coax her out of the house for a walk - no small feat! He was kind and patient and responsive. Thanks Andrew!”
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful with my dog Gracie and is very accommodating and flexible. Gracie is quite timid and skittish and Ashley is great with her! Would highly recommend!”
“Shawn is wonderful with our girl Apple! She is so kind, patient, and very trustworthy - we all immediately liked her and are so grateful that she can help us with our pup 😊”
“Eunae was great! She met Audrey beforehand and made sure she understood Audrey’s needs and personality. She was timely and provided lots of photos which I appreciated!”
“Tanya took such good care of Poppy! Poppy loved to see her come and happily went on the walks to roll in the grass and smell every little thing! Tanya had patience! Poppy will miss her!!!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have an 11-year-old French Bulldog, so I understand the importance of patient, attentive care and maintaining pets’ routines and comfort. My sweet dog lives with my mom at the moment, so I miss her dearly and hope to get my fill of dog love on Rover! In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve provided boarding and drop-in visits for many dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, administering basic care, and making pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I always prioritize clear communication and send regular photo updates (I certainly demand many from my mom and would provide the same for you!) so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of availability to take care of your darling pup or kitty. I am available most weekends and weekday early evenings. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that keeps pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications or special instructions, and each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for play and rest. I have experience caring for both energetic dogs and older pets, including my own 11-year-old French Bulldog, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and routine. In clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. During drop-in visits or house sitting, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, fresh water, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: Hello! My name is Abigail and I have been taking care of pets for about 8 years. I have rescued two seniors and taken care of multiple dogs between the ages of 1 to 12. I am a go to sitter for my family and neighbors. I have experience taking care of disabled dogs and multiple years of administering medications (pills, liquid medication, ear drops, eye drops). I am a junior at Texas Tech university but Boston is home for every school break. I would love to provide housesitting/walking services in your home to minimize disruption for your pet while you are out of town or out and about. I will leave your place exactly as you left it and I will care for your pets exactly how I have always cared for my own. I love to be involved in the daily routine of pets that I am caring for. I am very accommodating to their routines. I am up for spending lots of time helping them to burn off energy or sit and be calm while petting them if that is more their speed. I can do long walks or short walks, play time, snack time and/or dinner time. I will care for your pets exactly as you would and I welcome as much detail as you would like to provide. There is nothing too big or too small for me to do! I am happy to go exactly at your pets pace.
“Mary Kate did a wonderful caring for my chiweenie for the last 2 weeks. Planning on having her as a long term walker. She is flexible, keeps you updated during walks and reliable!”
“Brooke was super prompt and communicative. I appreciated the information she shared about how the dog walk went, including photos. She was available on very short notice, which was extremely helpful.”
About: I am a freelance artist by trade, I'm looking to earn some supplementary by putting to good use my love of animals and experience as a lifetime pet owner. I have been the primary caretaker for animals basically my whole life, growing up alongside furry siblings as long as I can reliably remember, including several dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and jealousy problems. My mother trained as a vet tech and taught me a lot, and is always happy to help even now if I need an extra hand or some expert advice. I have trained dogs, including potty training and dissuading problem behaviors (excessive barking, begging for food, etc.) I have experience caring for dogs in individual, group, and playgroup settings and love all animals. I cannot drive but I can engage in light to moderate dog walking just fine! I use public transport and ridesharing to get around. If you have any further questions about what might be within my wheelhouse feel more than free to ask! As a freelance artist, my schedule for work is fairly flexible and I can plan around pet care time and stays away from home with a lot of freedom, making it possible for me to keep my schedule fluid and make the animal in my care the priority of my routine. I have an apartment in Arlington I spend most of my time at but it's not the best for pets so for boarding jobs I visit and make use of my parents home in Winchester. They and their dog love the company! It has a fenced outdoor area where dogs can easily run, play, and of course go to the bathroom. It is accessible via a basement door and most dogs get the hang of it pretty easily (but I am happy to provide extra help for dogs who struggle with stairs or need other extra accomodations.) It is also home to my parents who love furry guests, and of course Emma, an extremely friendly and patient English Setter who adores playing hostess! I am also of course happy to visit other homes to care for pets, both for drop ins and overnight. I will always take the safety and cleanliness of your home seriously! In other's homes I'm happy to adapt to what resources are available and what areas and routines the dog is generally used to and comfortable with in their own usual environment!
About: Spent extensive time caring after my families dogs & cats as well as the pets of my neighborhood. I also look after my friends cats and dogs of Boston and Maine. Comfortable with walking, playing with, feeding, and even some light training with dogs. I don’t have certifications with dog training but I would be happy to reinforce training you do with them for some light commands. I work in sales in a fairly fluid environment. I spend some time at home and the rest of my time around the city and greater Boston. Drop in pet care/walking fits perfectly into my schedule as I can work from my computer and travel when needed. I do have a fenced in yard but I’m not currently accepting pet care in my own home outside of the critters I already have. I may open up to this in the future but I do use a lot of space In my car already.
About: i have handled all kinds of animals but have kitties and a dog of my own . I’d love to sit for any pet of yours My schedule this summer is completely free for new pet sitting jobs! I have recently graduated so I have a lot of availability weekdays and weekends. I provide in client house pet care for any animals, as well as dog walking services. I will always make sure the pet is comfortable and put your needs first!
“My stranger reactive dog has come SO far with Ryan’s help. He went from growling and lunging from our front porch when he saw Ryan to excitedly greeting him at the door. Every week Ryan has worked patiently with my dog, gradually teaching Bandit to trust him and how to be more brave when confronted with fears and triggers. I can’t stress enough how amazing Ryan is. If I could give him 6 stars I would!”
“I could not recommend Hillary enough! She is kind, patient, communicative and takes the best photos of the best adventures 🥰 She is the perfect choice for someone to trust with your pet!”

“Guillermo was absolutely amazing with our dog, Lola. He took such great care of her and kept us constantly updated with messages and photos, which really put us at ease while we were away. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Guillermo made the whole experience completely stress free. We could tell Lola was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. We’re so grateful for his attentiveness and kindness, and we would 100% trust him with Lola again. Highly recommend!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Zora was so well cared for here! Kate checked in halfway through our dog’s one day stay to let us know she had been walked and snuggled plenty. We will definitely reach out again when we need a place for our pup to stay!”
“Ashley and her family were lovely and warm and we felt immediately comfortable leaving our dog. He got along well with their dog and I could tell he was also very comfortable in their home. My pup is a high energy dog, not for everyone, but I really appreciated how Ashley seemed to like him for who it is and enjoyed the crazy parts of his personality! He came back to us in perfect health and happiness. So lucky to find her and we’ll definitely be bringing our dog back - if we can get on her calendar!”
“Can’t begin to explain how amazing Liz and the rest of her family were with my two boys ❤️. I knew as soon as we met the boys were going to love her. Liz is very cheerful, loving and attentive. She did an amazing job at keeping me up to date and most importantly making sure my boys felt at home and safe. I received daily pictures which included dj and beans taking car rides, walks, sleeping and just hanging with the family. If you love your furry companions as much as I do, book with Liz, you won’t be disappointed ❤️”
“For us, Paul is the gold standard of dog sitters. He is attentive, communicative, and experienced, which lets us really be at ease when we’re away from our dog. Dougie bonded with him so quickly over his short weekend stay! You can tell Paul is a dog lover through and through and your dog will be so happy to get to spend time with him while you’re away. We’ve had Paul dog sit for us for years now and he will continue to be the first person we reach out to when we need a sitter.”
“Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“Marissa took very good care of Conan, who is a bit anxious. He even did well with Marissa's dog, which she did in a controlled and easy way, which we loved because he needs some positive socialization. She took him for walks, and kept us informed, sending texts and pics. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Yi took wonderful care of our dog. We got frequent updates and lots of photos on walks and eating. This was our first rover, so our dog got quite stressed being in a new environment but Yi did a really great job of taking care of him during that time. She was very thoughtful for our dog and stress mess he made. We really appreciate her for that.”
“Our rescue hound, Biscuit, who had a troubled background, spent a happy week with Patrick. Our concerns about leaving Biscuit with a stranger for a week was assuaged by daily photos and videos of our boy happily napping on a bed provided by Patrick and exploring his new neighbourhood enthusiastically. Thank you, Patrick! We shall be calling you again! Dan Cronin, Hank Anderson and Biscuit Somerville”
“Michelle was fantastic! We were lucky she was available to take care of our dog for an extended weekend. Tito came back home a happy pup! We would happily book again.”
“Julie was amazing, it’s no wonder she has star sitter status! I always get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Seymour came home so content and relaxed!”
About: I have a dog of my own, so I know the deal. Walking my dog and hanging out with her is the best part of my day, and I would love for your dog to join. Weekends are my focus and I’m free for shenanigans and long walks! I have my own dog so 3-4walks on the weekend is our normal. I would consider weekdays, but we would have to talk because I work full time on site M-F, so during the week they would have a 20-30min morning walk and 1-2 afternoon walks. I have a well mannered dog friendly dog at home and I would care for your pet like I would mine…which means a lot of attention. Dogs would have to be able to do 3 flights of stairs or be pick-up-able
“Thank you again John. Walking dogs in a dense urban setting is not without its challenges. John is so experienced with this and we can head out of town without concern for our dog when he's in John's care.”
“Our pup was happy in every picture & very excited but quickly calm when she got home, which to me says that she was happy to be home, but didn’t feel nervous at Aurora’s home! Aurora also was diligent to make sure our counter surfing, sneaky dog didn’t get human food during her stay. We will definitely book with Aurora again!”
“Francois took care of our senior dog recently we would highly recommend him . He communicated with us every day with text & pictures. Our dog being on the elderly side is very set in his ways & Francois took all his special needs into account. We returned home to a happy and relaxed dog.”
About: I'm an experienced dog-sitter and equestrian who's able to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. I work from home and am able to provide specified care for your pup while you're away, including: frequent walks, hikes in local conservation areas, and the administration of medications. I supervise dogs closely, can provide basic veterinary care, and live near an emergency veterinary office, just in case. I have my own dog in the home. When your dog is with me, they'll be cared for like my own with plenty of exercise, socialization, and love. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I currently walk and feed my own dog at 7:00am, noonish, 5:00pm, and 9:30pm. I can provide numerous walks for your dog each day during the week, and will take them local "adventures" on the weekends to local parks, Middlesex Fells Reservation, etc. My own dog is friendly and playful, and will keep your pet company.
