“Emily was amazing. She took great care of our dogs and was very understanding and accommodating when unforeseen circumstances led us to booking at the last minute. Will definitely use again in the future and recommend her!”

“Joseph was great and his puppy Rose is the sweetest girl! Hailey stayed with them for a day while we were away and she seemed happy and tired when we picked her up.”
“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”
“Alan took excellent care of my young dog who is something of an escape artist. Pilot enjoyed his time with Alan and I enjoyed knowing that Pilot was happy and safe.”
“Jess is absolutely great . She was able to accommodate to our last-minute request for daycare for our dog Bruno and was very understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept sending pictures and updates which gave us piece of mind during these times when our dog needs to be monitored. We’re looking forward for Bruno’s next boarding stay with Jess.”
“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Jacqueline was great. She watched our dog while we went to a show in town and even though it was only a few hours she sent us photos and took him outside twice! She definitely made him feel comfortable enough to quiet down and snuggle. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter in the Boston area!”
“Mariella was fantastic with Moxie! She watched her for a full day, keeping us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. It was clear Moxie was cozy on a cold wet day, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. We felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. We’d absolutely book with Mariella again!”
“Karina is great! My dog Kobi is pretty nervous and timid around strangers and deals with separation anxiety too but Karina did a great job looking after him and I’m glad he made a friend with Luka too!”
“Cindy was amazing with our dog Gia today. This was our first time with her, and our dog was already comfortable with her. Cindy was extremely communicative, professional, and sent many progress photos through the day. She was so loving and caring with our puppy, we will definitely be using her help again. Highly recommend her!”
“I had an excellent experience with our Jayden. She was available to help my dog and I during a snow storm and I had to go to work! My dog Jack was well cared for and she helped to ease my mind! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog made himself right at home with her and cried when he was dropped off which means he missed her already and had a great time! I really appreciate the updates and peace of mind knowing my dog is in safe, attentive hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“So grateful for Lauren for talking amazing care of Arlo for us! Quick response for a last minute booking for daycare and Arlo had a great time! Will definitely be rebooking!”

“Alissa is an amazing dog walker. We deeply appreciate how reliable and consistent she is, and how well she manages our dog with reactivity. She always comes on time and has been mindful of the summer heat when going on walks. Alissa has been an absolute asset to our family and we are wicked lucky to have her!!”
“If you have an anxious dog who struggles in meeting new people Luis is the best sitter/walker. Luis is extremely empathetic, patient and very accommodating. He goes at your dog's pace! I was worried about leaving my dog with anyone since he is challenging to work with and Luis has greatly eased my concerns.”
“Mirabel was so awesome! She helped me out last minute by walking Theo and even though he gave her lots of trouble by hiding from her at first, she was so patient with him and still took him on a long walk. She provided a thorough note and lots of photos which I greatly appreciated. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Maeve was excellent. She was always on time to get Copley and he very much look forward to the walks. She also took very great pictures of their outings which were awesome to see.”
“Very communicative throughout the session. Cleo and i’s first time using Rover and Kieran made the experience super easy and was very patient with Cleo to ensure she was able to fully utilize her potty break & get her steps in :)”
“Angelina was great with our dogs and I was nervous at first because of our breed of the 2 dogs and the size of our bigger dog most people are afraid of pits or are not to fond of them but she handled it very well. Did everything she was supposed to plus more. She was super kind and patient and our dogs loved her instantly. She provided great communication also. I wouldn’t know what we would have done without her while we were out of town but she gave me some relief. This was my first time and experience with the app and I loved it. I would rebook Angelina if I ever need assistance with Brick and Yola again. No matter the height or weight of a dog it didn’t scare her off , nor the excessive barking at times and the fact they love to jump on people lol. She was genuine and loved every moment from my understanding.”
“Morgan and Meaghan were great! They were very easy to work with. On top of that, they were very flexible with our last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good dog sitter.”
“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”
“Alicia did a great job doing lunch time walks for a week on short notice. She was communicative, on time, and handled our rescue pup’s needs and tricky walking style extremely well! Would definitely hire again, and enthusiastically recommend.”
About: I’m friendly, reliable, and love spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets over the years, including my family’s Goldendoodle, two dogs for a months long house stay, and several other dogs, cats, and even a gecko. As a graduate student in clinical psychology, I bring patience, kindness, and communication to every visit. I’m currently focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits and have a car. My graduate school schedule gives me flexibility, and I do my best to keep my calendar up to date. I’m also open to boarding an easygoing, well-behaved dog on a case-by-case basis. My goal is for you to feel confident that your dog is happy and well cared for. I’ll always keep dogs leashed on walks unless you’ve given other instructions. I’ll also carefully follow your care routine and send as many photo and text updates as you’d like.

“Debra was scheduled to walk my dog 4 days one week while I was away and due to bad weather we canceled 2 of the days. She was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet, very communicative all week when some hiccups arose, and very loving to my dog. I’m booking her again asap!”
About: I have taken care of numerous dogs throughout my time in high school and college. Many of them being family, friends, and my own dog. Some of these dogs include a Jack Russell Terrier, a German Sheppard puppy, two Boston Terriers, and a miniature poodle. My care for all these animals has included walking, feeding, and playing with them. I have also cared for a diabetic cat, which included giving her medication. I’m currently a grad student at Boston University so taking care of your pets would be in between my class schedule or Thursday/Weekends when I have no classes! To develop trust with a client, I first prefer to meet and get to know them and their dog. After this, I like to get the rundown of the dog's daily schedule; where their food, leash, and toys are. I also like knowing where areas of the house are off-limits if I am pet-sitting and where the dog takes their walks.
About: I have taken care of various breeds of dogs and cats including walking, feeding, providing medications, cleaning up after, and playing with animals of all ages. I work from home with a flexible schedule and can be available to check on cats or walk pups throughout the day. Also available early mornings or late evening. I am very careful and take time to familiarize myself with each pets homes, surroundings, and supplies such as collars, leashes, doors, and gates to ensure safety while at home or on walks.
