“Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with.

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.”

I would be happy to trust Linda with my dog’s care again!”

About: Hello! My name is Natsuko and I live in Watertown with my fiancée Carson and dog Luna. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs since I was very young, and I’ve gained lots experience with dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with puppy care, including basic leash manners and crate training, and I focus on consistency and positive reinforcement so dogs feel secure while learning. I’ve also lived with dogs who have anxiety or past trauma, and have experience slowly building trust and bonds. I am currently a remote freelancer and this set up gives me great flexibility to spend quality time with my dog Luna during my workday. She LOVES other doggos and would love to play with and go on walks with a new friend! We typically go on short pee breaks once every three hours and go on two long walks every day. My schedule is very flexible so I am confident I can accommodate for the bathroom/walk/eating schedules of any dog in my care. We live in a very walkable neighborhood in Watertown with the Fresh Pond loop a quick walk away! There are many options to take dogs out for a short or long walk. In our home, we have nice open spaces for dogs to play with each other and with toys. Since we have a dog of our own, we have dog proofed our whole home. Our dog Luna loves playing with other dogs and has had no issues with socializing. If a dog in my care needs a break from playtime or gets overstimulated, we have options to separate the dogs if needed since Luna is crate trained and we have many rooms for the dogs to use.
“Kaisi and her partner were great! My dog is a bit anxious but he was comfortable in her home and snuggled with her with her other dog :) I received many pictures during his visit and Kaisi was very communicative throughout. Will definitely book again!”
“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: I love taking care of dogs and just hanging out with them. I work full-time onsite so I am only available after or before work hours to take them on walks and for stay over. However my husband works from home who also loves dog to keep them company during the day! I have a full time onsite job so I am not available during the day however my husband works from home so he is available. I love going for walks or runs in the mornings/ evenings before/ after work so I can take your dogs on walks as well. I love playing with them, and can give them a lot of attention. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment without a yard so, I can only take care of small dogs. They have plenty of places to roam around in the apartment. There is also a dog park and a 2.5mile loop near me where i can take them for playtimes and walks.
“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”

“Boots had an amazing day with them! I got lots of pictures from throughout the day and drop off and pick up were very easy. They went above and beyond and played with him a ton—he’s coming home super tired!”
“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!”
“Emma took such great care of Arya and she was so happy with her stay! Emma sent updates and pictures to me of my baby girl and kept me updated with any changes. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Jack did amazing with our 8mo pup Basil. We were pretty nervous to leave him with a sitter for the first time, but Jack was great! We got pictures of Basil during his stay, and when we got back to pick him up it was clear he had a great time. After a quick hello he just wanted to keep playing with Jack!”
“Banapsha is amazing! She made an immediate connection with Peanut who has some separation anxiety and has been through a lot of recent medical issues. She gave me frequent updates, pictures and asked questions when she was unsure what I would prefer in terms of her care. I hope to hire Banapsha again when she is available!”
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).

“Alyssa really came through in a pinch when another Rover cancelled last minute. She worked with my pup who was a little hesitant since they hadn’t met. She communicated well, sent pix, and let me know specific details. Thank you!”
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.
“Kauai is the best! She took very good care of my 10year old black lab while I’ve been out of the country. Her communication is the best and she was very punctual. I trusted her with my key to my place and she did great! She showed Athena so much love and took her on great walk. Best dog sitter around!”
About: Growing up around both cats and dogs has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, daily routines, and specialized care. I understand the demands of raising a puppy as well as managing the medical, dietary, and comfort needs of senior pets. I am also a certified veterinary assistant in the state of Texas, now bringing my skills to Massachusetts, I feel confident in taking care of any needs that your pet might require! I fit pet care easily into my weekdays, making sure your pets get reliable feeding, exercise, and attention Monday through Friday. My weekends can be unpredictable, so I focus on steady weekday care, and ask that we plan any weekend care well ahead of time. I try to mirror my clients exact routine, diet, and care inside a familiar environment. I set professional, attentive pet care by providing your peace of mind with complete respect for your privacy.

About: I worked with LastHopeK9 in fostering and taking care of dogs. I've pet sitted and walked dogs around my neighborhood many times. I've had my own dog who I trained for around 9 years. I'm an animal lover who cares about a dog's well-being and pays attention to their needs. I currently have a part-time internship, so I have plenty of time during the week! Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am available all day, as well as most weekends. I would make it a priority on those days to fulfill my duties. I am always respectful and diligent of what the client indicates me to do in their house and with their pet. I respect the owners rules and make sure to follow a routine for their pet, as well as communicate with the client about how it's going.
“Michael walked my 3 year old golden retriever, Waffles, for four afternoons. Waffles sometimes pulls on the leash and sometimes not. Michael in his own quiet way was clearly in control and Waffles liked him immediately. I recommend Michael.”
“Our dog just loved William. We also liked him right away. We scheduled him to walk our dog for 2 days when a relative was housesitting. She reported that William had a great rapport with our dog who was always happy to see him (and he does not have a good rapport with all humans; William is one of his favorites.”
About: Hi! I have experience taking care of pets from neighbors, friends, and family. Since moving to Boston I haven’t had time to care for one of my own, but would love to meet others 😁 I currently work full time, but I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule. Typically I am available most afternoons as well as weekends! I will follow instructions and adjust my care based on what is requested and what the pet is comfortable with. Please let me know how I can make this experience as enjoyable as possible!
About: I have no professional experience with pets, but I grew up with a dog throughout my childhood and I love spending time with cats and dogs I am not working currently so I have plenty of time to take care of pets and I am free basically every day of the week I live alone with no pets or roommates, so my whole apartment is open and I have the time to make sure any pets are looked after throughout the day
