Risa hadn’t been away from us and our house for that long but I knew she would be in great hands and would have a wonderful week with Lyn!! It was a great experience as always… Lyn sends occasional photos and updates to let me know that Risa is enjoying herself and I can tell she’s in great care 🥰”

We would absolutely leave Elsa with Shuhua again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was in 5th grade. Whether I went to the owners house or they came to mine, I treated them with love and kindness. I’ve worked with little, medium, and big dogs, and they have been long term clients! People actually call me the dog whisperer! I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time! Dogs are allowed on our beds and furniture, so they will get lots of cuddles! I allow them to explore the house so they can get comfortable in the new environment and let them warm up to me so they are not scared. I have a big park just right across from me, I am in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get great walks. I also have a big back yard they can lounge around!
About: I’m an experienced and loving dog sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a lifelong dog lover and dog mom myself, I understand that your pup is family—and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs through regular sitting, walks, overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and keeping them comfortable in their owners’ absence. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, laid-back and cuddly, or a little shy and need extra time to warm up.

About: I’ve always had at least two dogs in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I’m currently a college student at Berklee College of Music, which makes my hours fairly flexible, as well as having easy transportation being in the heart of the city! Though my weekly schedule varies, my weekends are very open for full-time care, and I can easily work around my school schedule to give your furry friends their routine as smoothly as possible 😊 I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.
“Emma is amazing. Great at communication, trustworthy and absolutely amazing with my dog. He is always looking forward to his walks with Emma and will for sure miss her!”
“Mirabel is always so good with our dog! She’s highly reliable and clearly loves working with animals. Her constant communication is excellent as well. I’ll always recommend her!”
“Kayla is wonderful! Very detail oriented, caring, sweet and Benji loved her! She was very patient with me explaining all of Benji’s routine and was very diligent about following all of it. Highly recommend!!”
“Meaghan is great with my shy boy Shorty. She’s very patient with my slow walking dog and is also great at communicating any issues or timing conflicts. I would definitely recommend Meaghan!”
“We got our Dog two months ago, and Kelly was her first outside walker. Our dog has been apprehensive with strangers in the past, so we took a graduated approach, which Kelly (and Hershey) were very receptive to. We appreciated how Kelly was patient with Hershey and read her body language well, and over the three walks Hershey became increasingly comfortable. Would absolutely book again!”
“Grace was wonderful! Very professional and caring. She took care of my Husky over the weekend which is no small task with such a high energy pup and she did better than I could have hoped for. I will definitely be using her again in the future and you should too.”
About: I grew up with dogs and love having them in my life and taking care of them! I’ve had a wide range of pets and learned how to be responsible for them and provide them with love and proper care. Unfortunately my dogs at home passed away this past year and I really miss having them in my life and would love to take care of your dog and give it love :) I have a flexible schedule and can provide quality care for them — walks, cuddles, food, you name it. I am experienced with all ages and many breeds of dogs. I am currently enrolled part-time in a graduate program, so my weekdays and weekends are very flexible. My classes are at night so I can definitely provide pet care during the workday and on weekends. I live in a quiet and friendly neighborhood in Boston, with parks and plenty of safe streets to go on walks. I take care of my apartment and have the proper space and equipment to provide quality care for your pets. My weekly schedule is very flexible, so I can confidently commit to taking care of your pet and giving it attention and pets.
About: Hi, I’m Jess! I’ve worked as a kennel assistant, fostered pets for years, and volunteered with animal shelters and vet outreach programs. I’m all about making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with all kinds of pets. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re in good hands! I’m a college student with a fairly flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the week. I have classes at a few points during the day (late morning and mid-afternoon), but I’m typically available for morning walks/visits, evening care, and overnight stays. I’m also generally free most weekends. If your pet needs care during the day while you’re at work or extra attention in the evenings, I’m happy to work around my class schedule to make sure they’re well taken care of! I provide care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable and relaxed in their own environment. I follow all instructions carefully, making sure pets stick to their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I focus on keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress-free, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands!
About: I’ve been around dogs and have taken care of them all my life. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I enjoy walking and looking after dogs! I have no class two days a week and miss walking my family’s dogs back home in Seattle. I would love to walk yours and hang out with them. I look after my family’s two dogs often and walk and feed them. They are energetic, so I am used to that in dogs. I have experience with chill dogs and very energetic ones.
About: I’ve provided pet care for both my best friend and my aunt multiple times, usually for about a week at a time. I’ve cared for their dogs in their homes and always made sure they felt safe, loved, and well-exercised while their owners were away. I’ve also always naturally connected with animals and get along really well with both cats and dogs, even bigger or more energetic dogs. And as of January, I’m officially a cat mom to my adorable son Oswald (Ozzy) 🥹 so I definitely have plenty of experience with cats now too! I treat every pet like my own and love giving them lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles while making sure they feel comfortable and happy :) Pet care fits pretty easily into my schedule because I’m currently a college student with plenty of time between classes, full days off, and weekends available. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether that means going for walks, sticking to their usual schedule, playing, or just hanging out and giving them lots of love and cuddles, I have plenty of flexibility to make sure they feel happy and comfortable :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a roomy, pet-friendly apartment with two other people and my two cats, who are both used to being around other animals. I’d make sure your pet has plenty of space to feel comfortable and would give them lots of attention, love, and care throughout their stay. :) When pets stay with me, we usually spend time together in the living room — great for dogs who can’t do stairs — or relaxing in my bedroom if they prefer a cozier space. I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away.
