“Y Tran has taken care of Kiko many times, and I always feel completely at peace leaving him with her. She truly loves Kiko, and it shows in the way she cares for him. She constantly sends me tons of pictures and updates, which makes me feel very reassured and connected while I’m away. She takes Kiko on many walks, gives him lots of attention, and he always looks so happy with her. What I appreciate most is that she does everything with genuine love and care, and it’s very noticeable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive for their pet.”

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’ve always had dogs in my life. I grew up beside them and learned how to care for them at a very early age. I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, personalities, ages; from dogs who were my family, from my friend’s dogs to dogs belonging to people in my local community. Since I’ve been living in Boston for almost a year now, I have scouted out great routes to walk dogs to local spots for play and enjoyment, especially in nature. Special skills include dog breed knowledge, basic commands training, clicker training, animal welfare, and basic wilderness first aid training. I work from home 70% of the time and my schedule is wonderfully quite flexible. I am able to meet basic needs like potty breaks or walks and easily adjust my routine around the dog’s needs. I have worked with many different dog personalities and characteristics before and can take care of your dog however needed. I allow dogs on the bed and couch, have plenty of treats on hand, have many pet friendly locations nearby to take them, etc.
“Jim was super accommodating! We came to visit Boston and needed someone to look after the pouch when we visit the museums. Jim was always fast to reply and accommodated our itinerary changes. I definitely recommend him.”
“All I can say is, Dan is the man. He was kind, considerate and very accommodating to our and Bubbas needs. Sent pics, took multiple walks and has access to a near by dog park. Thank you Dan and thank you Kada (his dog) for making Bubba feel special.”

Our puppy Totori get to meet good dog friends and bond with Daria as soon as he met her Totori didn’t want to leave her place after day care and that tells us everything ! I will definitely ask her to take care of my puppy again”
“We had an amazing experience with Puja! She kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout the stay, and our pup looked so happy and well cared for. We felt completely at ease. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were great with Oscar. They were flexible when I needed to shift my drop-off and pickup times, which made my day so much easier. They sent a few photos throughout the day too, which I always love getting. Oscar came home tired and happy, so he clearly had a good time. Would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thanks you two!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and having my own dog since I was 12 made them a big part of my life growing up. Being away from home for college means I really miss my dog, which is one of the reasons I enjoy dog-sitting so much, it lets me spend time caring for and bonding with dogs while giving them the attention they deserve. Over the past three years in Boston, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and families who trust me because I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on maintaining each dog’s routine and comfort. I’m currently a senior in college with classes mainly in the mornings, so I’m home and available for most of the day. This schedule allows me to prioritize pet care, stick to routines, and provide consistent supervision and attention. When dogs stay with me, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their usual schedule as closely as possible. Dogs are never left alone for more than four hours, and I send daily updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My apartment also has a dog park amenity, which makes potty breaks and outdoor time easy, safe, and convenient
“Maryna and John are so wonderful! They asked all the right questions when getting to know my nervous dog on his first day, and took such good care of him. Ollie will be so happy to visit them again. Thank you!!”

“Elliot walks my young large German shepherd mix twice a week . He’s great , arrives on time , feeds her when I request it and Daisy loves her . I would highly recommend Elliot to anybody looking for pet care”
About: I've grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. From tiny puppies to large lovable seniors, I've been around them all! I'll treat your pup with lots of scritches, belly rubs, and love like they're my own, all while maintaining the level of discipline you keep in your home. I'm comfortable walking on a leash, taking them to a dog park, or just hanging around at home watching whatever is on TV. Dogs are a comforting presence for me, and I'm eager to take care of yours. I'm currently unemployed and am job hunting as we speak, so my schedule is wide open! Whenever you need a caring, watchful eye over your pup, I'll be there. I live by a park, so if I'm dayboarding, there's easy access to green space. If I'm dog walking or dog sitting, I'll follow your lead. You know your pup best, so whatever rules or expectations you have, I'll ensure they're followed and maintained.
“Michael is very responsive, flexible and dedicated. He gives me regular update and takes dog walking to the next level. You can tell that he enjoys it. I’m a repeat client ;)”
“Emily is an absolute joy to work with. She is punctual, kind, and patient. I have a pup who hesitates with new people but he adores her. I would 100% recommend her and use her again in the future !”
About: I have been a dog lover all my life! I recently moved to Boston from my childhood home where I grew up with 2 labs who I love more than anything. I have fostered over 30 rescue puppies from the streets of Aruba so I am familiar with puppy care as well as behavioral issues. In college I fostered and trained service dogs/puppies for a non profit. I work from home full time and love to get out and take long walks especially with a furry companion! I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I treat every dog like my own. I have experience with rescue dogs so I know the patience and respect it takes to earn a dogs trust.
About: I treat each dog like it is my own! I believe that all dogs deserve the same care that we give little humans :) ! I am a graduate student at MGH IHP. This semester, I do not have a lot of academic responsibilities and thought it would be a great time to make money doing something I love! I take my dog for walks everyday. I also play with my dog so that he gets exercise! I also make sure that he has enough food/water.
