“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work.

I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Sarah and I LOVE dogs. I have experience handling all types of breeds, sizes, and temperaments of dogs. I used to work in a doggie daycare where I thrived taking care of customers beloved fur babies 🩷 I am currently in Boston, and my work is extremely flexible allowing me more availability to take care of your dogs 🐶🐾 I have my own dog named Cooper, so I’m used to scheduling time to ensure he gets exercise and cared for. I have a lot of availability and a car, so I’m able to come by and take care of your pup when you need. I get a lot of joy being able to see Cooper have fun with his friends at the park, and sniff everything on walks, I would be so happy to do the same for you. I am currently not providing overnight stays, but I am providing doggie daycare. Your pup can stay with me in my home during the day where they will be fed, walked, and under constant supervision. I have a 3 year old dog named Cooper, he absolutely loves other dogs and said he is more than okay having friends over. Because I have Cooper, your dog must be good with other dogs for this service.
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”

“This was our first shot with Rover, and we came in with a lot of questions and anxieties. We knew we made the right call when our 5-month old golden became comfortable with Maria at first sight. Maria was very warm, sent regular updates on our puppy, and came with a lot of good experience and tips - having had a golden retriever herself while growing up. We’re definitely going to repeat very soon. Thank you, Maria!! 🥰🐶”

She kept in touch with us very frequently all day and we received so many pictures of our puppy playing and cuddling with Alex’s dog! 100% recommend, we will be booking again!!!”
About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had a dog to take care of. From being a child taking care of my childhood Labrador to raising a Yorkee -poodle all throughout my teenage years, I’ve always been accustomed to having a dog to care for. Since a young age I’ve felt an everlasting love to being around dogs and having them myself. More recently I’ve taken care of various puppies and elderly dogs that require special care, taking care of dogs and walking them is truly something that makes me happy. I am a full time student so my availability is always open throughout the week depending on the timing. Besides school, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks is my main priority. Since I have taken care of countless dogs at my apartment, I am more than prepared with various toys, fences, and treats to ensure each pet receives the upmost care.
“Sunil is so kind and attentive, and devoted to making your dog happy. She was careful to ask about treats and how to make my shy pup comfortable. Highly recommended and I hope to use her again soon.”

About: I've always been around animals growing up, from dogs to birds to horses, and everything in between. My neighborhood often sought me out when they needed a sitter, or just someone to stop in and throw a ball around. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, and love learning about their individual personalities! I am comfortable taking animals on long walks, or keeping furry friends company while their family is away. Staying overnight does not bother me whatsoever, or dropping in at multiple times during the day. I know how special pets are and value their companionship. I look forward to working with pet owners and getting some animal love that I have been lacking in my life for a while! I’m a graduate student at Simmons University, but my schedule is very flexible and I am always willing to work with owners to make something work! I want your pet to feel as comfortable with me as with their family. When house sitting, I'm a stickler for details and ask lots of questions so that I can make the sitting experience comfortable for pets. I'm active and can keep up with pets that have high energy, but can also be a stay at home TV watcher for those types of pets as well!
“Carley has been our favorite go to walker for Bailey. She’s great at communicating her visits and takes care of Bailey always. Bailey loves her and look forward to seeing her every time she comes to our house.”
“Devon was able to walk Bebe, my dog, with less than an hour’s notice, and it was so incredibly helpful! She even fed her for me and kept me updated throughout the whole visit. I really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable she was. I’ll definitely be asking her to walk Bebe again whenever I need someone! 🥰”
About: I have a toy poodle named Gumball who is living with my parents now! I trained him and watched him grow up before leaving the house to go to college. I have the same enthusiasm when it comes to small to medium sized dogs. I am free on the weekends and some Wednesdays and Fridays. I am flexible so feel free to reach out! I can take your dog out to a walk or teach him new tricks. I give my dog Gumball a fresh bowl of water every day and clean bowls daily. I take him out for multiple walks a day and brush his hair at night. I’ll be sure to say goodnight and give him a Greenie!
About: Proud dog-owner for the past three years! Grew up in a house cosplaying as a petting zoo- cats, frogs, dogs, hamsters, you name it! Extremely flexible, willing to adapt, and excited to get to know your pets! Just a teacher trying to make enough money to have a career of not making enough money #fortheloveofthegame I currently teach full-time, so evenings and weekends provide the most availability. However, with summer around the corner, my availability will be expanding! After mid-May, I will have availability from 3:30 PM onwards. I currently live in an apartment in West Harlem with my 4-year old mutt. She warms up to most doggos, but an intro would be necessary! The apartment is near multiple parks, and I am located in a walkable area.
