About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of different breeds since I was 10. I have cared for family, friends and neighbors dogs. Additionally, I have volunteered at humane societies socializing and training dogs. I currently have a 3 year old Samoyed/Husky mix. I currently work three 12 hours shifts a week which rotate between days and nights weekly. The other four days of the week I am home and available for drops ins and walks! I know my schedule 1-3 months in advance and will keep my availability up to date on rover. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication requirements, walking routes, and any household rules the pet is used to. I always check that water bowls are full, spaces are clean, and the home is secure when I leave.
“It was great o have Lia back again, this time for a full week overall including overnights. She did an excellent job taking care of our senior and very needy cats and was very communicative around medication times.

We felt so much better going away knowing Lia was looking after everything at home and will definitely reach out to her again.”

About: Your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, giving them so much attention and comfort that they won’t even notice you’re away🥰 I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet requires extra cuddles, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy. When your pet stays in my home, they become part of my family from the moment they walk through the door. I provide a clean, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax, explore, and feel completely comfortable. I have 1 cat. Her name is Emerald she is 2 years old and she is absolutely spoiled. She has her own wall climbing catch tree that she loves and tons of toys.

“Banapsha and Sid were so wonderful with me and Zephyr. I had a last minute request for daycare and they were willing to take us on short notice.. They really went the extra mile to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Banapsha was so kind to keep me updated every few hours with pictures and updates of Zeph. Zeph looked like he had a blast the entire time playing ball and tug. I'm definitely a bit of a helicopter mom when it comes to my pup and Banapsha was up to do a meet and greet beforehand so as to put me at ease since this was our first time together. She asked tons of questions and really took the time to take note of my pups quirks. I could really tell how much she absolutely loved pups and how well Zeph took to her when we met. So so grateful to have found someone I can trust to take care of my pup when I'm away. Ill definitely be back again soon!!!!”

“A truly 5 star experience. Cameron was easy to communicate with and work with. Just off vibe alone I knew my dog was in good hands when he was picked up. Throughout the day I was consistently updated with photos and videos of my dog out and about. I highly highly recommend Cameron to anyone in need of a dog-sitter. Next time I’m in Boston I will 100% be reaching out to him first. Finn will miss Cameron and Rosie a ton!!! 5 stars!!”
About: Hi there, my name is Tenzin, and I’d love to take care of your dog. I genuinely enjoy long walks, so when you book with me, your dog will feel like they’re on a little vacation. I live near two large parks that offer the perfect playground, plenty of space to explore, and great opportunities for social interaction. I grew up with four dogs, a Dalmatian, a Pug, a German Shepherd, and a Tibetan Spaniel, so I have hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. During that time, I was also an avid fan of The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, which helped me develop a strong understanding of dog behavior and best practices for handling and care. Lastly, communication is very important to me. I always provide updates and make sure you feel confident and at ease knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I work from home as a web developer, so your dog will always have company. Since I spend long hours at a screen, I really enjoy getting outside for long walks, and your dog will definitely get to enjoy those with me too. From my experience with many dogs, I’m good at reading their body language and understanding what they need. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care, and my condo is fully dog-proofed and safe.

About: I lived my life for my beautiful Siberian Husky for 13 years. I have years worth of experience with pup walks, runs, hikes, dog parks, etc. I would love to do the same for your dog, even if it's just watching or going for a walk around the city! From my own experience, I know it's important to have a reliable person to watch your dog while you are at work, so I am happy to help.

I’m a nutritionist and soccer coach. I love being outside and dog walking, fits into my routine. When going to a clients homes, I’m super particular about making sure doors and fences are closed. As a husky owner (aka escape artists) I know how important it is to trust that whoever is watching your pup keeps a close eye on them! Leashes are carefully secured before walking. Temperature and weather is accounted for.

I am currently a full-time student. I am able to have drop in visits on the weekends and also some time during the week. I can do doggy day care during the weekends and a few days during the week as well. I am able to on-board depending on a few factors and house sit. I do live in an apartment with a few other roommates who can help take care and provide services. There is a park near where I live which I can take them too.

If you’re looking for a consistent and all round fantastic dog walker, Viktoriia is it! I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have always been a huge lover of dogs and cats and have experience caring for my family and friend’s pets. I have also owned a fish tank for a few years and am knowledgeable on tank care. I have a decent amount of weekday and weekend availability outside of school and am happy to help care for your pets in any way that I can! Outside of school and work I have a decent amount of free time both during week days and weekends to check in, walk, feed, or play your pets. However, I do work a rotating schedule so the specific days of the week that I am free vary each week. Because of this, I won’t be able to commit to a recurring weekly booking at this time. I live in the Brookline area where there is a lot of green space for dog walking / outdoor play. I am also comfortable making home visits to check in on pets.

About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
