Devika is fantastic! She is reliable and communicative and clearly loves dogs. Rishi was comfortable with her right away. She sent us photos and an update so we knew all was well. Definitely recommend.

Alyssa was great! My dog was very happy after even though it was my first day away from the house for a new job, which told me everything I needed to know.

Traci has been perfect for our girl. We are so grateful that she was able to take Cora for a walk on such short notice. She then helped create a plan for us as we only adopted Cora a week ago! We look forward to hopefully many more walks with Traci.

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.

About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner and have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive pet care throughout the week. My classes and work are structured, so I’m able to plan walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins consistently. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active with dogs. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and a client’s home. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also have experience with shy or anxious dogs and understand the importance of being patient, calm, and letting them warm up at their own pace. My goal is to create a low-stress environment where your pet feels secure and happy.

Allie has been so great for my bichon poodle Zuri. Zuri is a very leash reactive dog who also tugs during walks. Allie has not only handled these issues patiently (she has tons of experience with pets!) but also has contributed to Zuri being better behaved on walks! On days when Allie doesn’t come, Zuri waits by the door at her usual walk time for her new friend. Allie is also very punctual and has always been accommodating of my last minute changes. Above all, Allie is extremely kind and sweet. I know Zuri enjoys her walks and loves Allie.

About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.

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).

About: I have helped raise puppies as well as the aging pup. I have been actively taking care of family dogs since I was 16 years old. I work from home and have the flexibility to take walks with my favorite 4 legged friends as well as offer snuggles through out the day. I follow your rules. If at my house I would take out for walks every 2 hours or more if necessary. I also have an emotional support husband who loves to snuggle fur babies.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Emily! Emily has been walking our dog for the past 5 days, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly kind. You can immediately tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. Our pup took to her right away, which says everything. Emily has been consistent, communicative, and attentive to our dog’s needs and routine. She gives thoughtful updates after walks, which gives me real peace of mind while we’re away. It is such a relief to have someone trustworthy caring for your fur baby, and Emily has absolutely delivered. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely continue using her services. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and amazing with dogs — Emily is the one! 🐕✨

Sunny, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for Tango. Your patience, your understanding, your love for him, and the way you always cared for his health and well‑being meant more to us than we can express. You made every walk a positive and happy experience for him — rain, snow, cold, or heat — always punctual, always thoughtful, always professional. We are truly grateful for these months together. You have been wonderful. We wish you the very best in this new chapter, with success, good health, and happiness for you and your loved ones. You will always have a special place in Tango’s story and in our hearts. Marcos, Silvina and Tango

Omar was great with our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks during the walks before his sitting stay. He was prompt, professional, and eager to get to know them, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. The dogs responded really well to him, and it was clear he was comfortable, attentive, and trustworthy. We really appreciated him making time on short notice and helping us feel secure before leaving them in his care. Highly recommend!
