“Catherine was a great dog walker! She responded well to my nervous dog and he grew comfortable with her super quick. She always returned my dog well exercised at the end of the walk!”

Reuben and Cameron

“Amy is the best dog walker in town! Our pup absolutely loves walking with her. She’s efficient, friendly and we always know Chili is in good hands.”

“Maria is wonderful! Always very thoughtful and caring when she is walking my 9yr old French bulldog! Making sure she takes it easy when it is very hot outside. And putting her rain coat on and coaxing her outside in the rain.”

“Maeli is a lifesaver! I was home sick and Maeli was able to come by last minute to help walk Tilly for me. Tilly was super excited to see Maeli which made me feel much better about having Maeli come walk her. We will definitely be using Maeli’s services again! Thanks!”

About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.

About: My dogs were a part of my family growing up. I had everything from well-behaved pups to rescues that needed extra TLC. It's important to me that my clients feel comfortable when they're away from their dog... and that their dog is having a blast as well! Playing fetch, long walks and park hangouts are some of my favorite activities to do with dogs. I'm available for walks and check in's on weeknights and weekends and am open to staying overnight as well. I am always happy to text or chat on the phone so you can get to know me and make sure I'm the right fit to take care of your furry companion. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pup!

“Excellent service, I’m so happy with Hashina, and my dog love her!!”

About: I have petsat: DOG section: 1) a medium sized 50 lb hound mix dog for a month at a time every year for 13 years (over the course of its life time from when she was a puppy to death) whose personality was very energetic and anxious. It needed a lot of exercise everyday, stimulated play, and long walks which I happily enjoyed! But she also needed to be watched carefully to ensure she didn’t scare anybody by playfully jumping on them. She would tug a lot during walks and would get excited seeing other dogs but I’ve always managed to calmly steer her away if aggression showed or if the other person or dog she was meeting showed signs of being uncomfortable. This dog always stayed at my place when I babysat her. Made sure she was fed on time twice a day and provided fresh water everyday. 2) a large 50 lb, 2 year old, Old English Sheepdog (named Cura). House-sat & dog-sat Cura for 10 days in Los Angeles, CA. Highly energetic who needed a lot of exercise everyday. Very obedient and could be taken off leash. But I always establish a level of trust and learn the dog’s mannerisms before taking them off leash in the park or around the apartment/house block. Cura also had a tendency to be scared of aggressive dogs or loud noises so I always maintained a level of reassurance and safety with her. Also had to be aware of the high temperatures in LA (given the summer time), hence I’d walk her early in the morning and late at night. 3) a 5 yr old, 25 lb, hound whippet mixed dog named Phoebe - house sat and babysat her for 12 days. Highly anxious who needed to be administered an anxiety pill every morning and needed constant attention and long walks. 4) A small 5 year old mixed poodle (named Cappy) in San Francisco who loved to cuddle! Took him out for walks twice a day, made sure he had food & water, and kept him company for 10 days while house-sitting. 5) Dog walked a 65 lb, 2 yr old Doberman Pinscher (Kilo) in San Francisco that was very sweet & very vocal but was very eager & loved to pull. If we encountered anyone on our walks that wanted to say hello, I would make sure they were okay with getting close to a Doberman. I never allowed Kilo to get close to anyone or jump on anyone / their dogs without their consent. 6) House sat / pet sat a 5 yr old, 20 lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel & Miniature Poodle (Cali). Sweet pup that loved to go on walks, play, and cuddle on the couch. 7) House sat for 6 days for 2 dogs - 6 yr old, 40 lb Australian Cattle mixed dog (Jester) and a 2 yr old, 17 lb Korean Jindo (Quincy). 8) House sat a 6 yr old, 55 lb Boxer, Pitbull, Catahoula Cur (Appa) for 2 nights in Boston. Also dropped in to dog walk him on several separate occasions. - DOG & CAT section: 9) an energetic 8 year old pomsky and an 18 yr old cat for 10 days. House-sat the owner’s place the entire time where I had to walk the dog 4 times every day at a set schedule and feed them both & provide medication to the cat at set times. The Pomsky was very energetic so also took the time during the afternoon to play with her when she had the zoomies. And have the cat tummy rubs and butt scratches whenever she requested it. 10) House sat a 13 yr old Shih Tzu (Neo) and a 18 yr old Siamese cat (Timothy). Neo needed medication on a daily basis while Timothy needed 3 different types of medication (one administrated via the ear, and the other 2 orally). Neo needed 3 walks a day and Timothy needed to be fed several times throughout the day (10 small meals at least a day). Both had stubborn personalities but were still very sweet and playful. When they were stubborn, I would be patient and give them time to calm down and then gently but sternly guide them. For example, Neo was stubborn on his walks and I would have to gently guide him to a certain direction; while Timothy was stubborn in refusing to take his 3 medications so I had to be gentle but firm in making sure he consumed his pills and received his ear meds. - CAT section: 11) two cats at a month at a time for the past 5 years. Stayed at the owner’s place every time. Had to be fed at certain times twice a day, gave them treats throughout the day and attention whenever they requested it. Sometimes I would initiate the contact but if the cats weren’t feeling it, they would communicate it and I would stop. They were indoor cats so I also made sure that any windows that were open were secure and they couldn’t slip through. Had no issues of escaped cats. 12) Three different cats from 3 different owners in San Francisco (Uno, Missy Elliot, and Fran). Took the time to get to know each of them and played with them / gave them company while cleaning out their litter box, refreshing their water bowls, and making sure they had food. Also planned my schedule so that I could travel between the places efficiently and was in communication with the owners at all times and they knew about my schedule. Made sure I gave them space and time to get to know me and I got to know their personalities. 13) 2 cats (Jackie & Cannoli) in New York for 18 days, plus house-sat. One was affectionate and loved to cuddle all the time, the other was more cautious and was very talkative. 14) House sat / pet sat for 2 cats in Waltham (Thea & Orion) on 3 different occasions (4 nights, 2 nights, and 2.5 weeks). Cleaned out litter box every day, fed them twice a day, cleaned up any fur ball throw ups, played with them every day, and gave them lots of attention & head/chin scratches. 15) Pet sat a 13 year old, 14 lb cat in Newton (Maxwell) for 9 days. 16) Pet sat a 5 year old, 14 lb cat in Waltham (Carl) for 5 days. 17) Hamsters - babysat them for a week at a time for friends whenever they went out of town. Fed and cleaned the box. Would occasionally bring it out of its cage to let it roam around the room in its ball. 18) I have my own pet - a red eared slider turtle who I claim to be my aquatic dog 😉. He is 18 years old and I got him when he was just the size of a quarter. But he gets excited to see me whenever I enter the room and will follow me in the apartment when I let him out to walk around. He can also recognize me out of a group of people! 19) I have a ton of plants that I have grown in the past 6 years - huge monstera (from a 1 foot baby to now a 7 ft giant with 30 inch wide leaves), verraccusum, constellation monstera, cacti, pothos, glorosium, etc. I’m currently unemployed (taking a hiatus from being an accountant in the corporate world) so I have all the time to take care of your pet(s). Available anytime to feed, walk, play, and assist in providing medication. I have a pet turtle that I’ve had for 18 years that I have by a sunny window. But every other day, I’ll let him out in the apartment to walk around and explore (but he will often just follow me around😊). I currently live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs or cats so over the last few years, I’ve always taken care of pets at the owner’s place. Either living at their place or coming to their place at set times to feed and/or walk their pets.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I was lucky enough to grow up alongside my sweet beagle, Sparky, and we shared an incredible 16 years together. Later, I spent eight wonderful years with my first boxer, Sophia, and today I’m a proud boxer mom to my 7-year-young pup, Moose. In addition to raising my own dogs, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many dogs over the years, each with their own personalities, routines, and needs. I genuinely enjoy making every pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with a member of your family and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I naturally build pet care into my day. I enjoy getting outside for walks, keeping dogs active, and maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I know consistency helps dogs feel comfortable, so I do my best to keep things familiar while you’re away. Moose is a gentle, well-socialized boxer who loves people and other dogs, but I know not every dog enjoys having a canine buddy. My priority is creating the environment that will help your pet feel the most relaxed and cared for (whether in my home or yours). I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, and am open to discussing additional communication preferences if needed.

“Linda is an amazing addition to my ‘village’, she walks my dog when I can’t, but she also has all the big sister advice while being the sweetest best caretaker for my little doggie. Thank you Linda!”

About: I grew up in a home with three Boxers and have always had animals as an important part of my life. As an adult, I’ve cared for several cats, currently have two of my own, and have experience caring for a variety of animals, including horses. I’ve also previously cared for a Maine Coon, so I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m comfortable caring for animals who may be shy, anxious, energetic, stubborn, or simply a little mischievous. I’m patient, attentive, and take the time to understand each pet’s individual routine and needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I was recently laid off from my job, so I have ample time to spend with your pet and get to know them and their individual needs! Pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own homes, surrounded by their familiar toys, treats, routines, and favorite spots. I’m more than happy to come to your home and care for your pets while you’re away, helping keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m respectful of your home and personal space and will treat it with the same care I give to your pets. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions and will make sure your pet’s usual routines, medications, feeding schedules, and other needs are followed closely. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Mackenzie is amazing, the best care taker for Minnie we could've asked for. She really treats Minnie like she's her own dog and is kind, caring and understanding of Minnie's needs. Thank you Mackenzie!”

About: I have taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was a child, and have taken care of friends and families pets for many years as well. I have even had neighbors rely on me to check on their pets when they are out of town. I also used to volunteer at my local animal shelter, which was such a great experience! I am currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3:30 pm. I am also a student and have class Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, leaving me unavailable on those days for now. I am mostly available in the evening, and on weekends and holidays. I care for my own pets and others by consistently checking water bowls, bathroom areas, and keeping a consistent food schedule. I love to give lots of pets and cuddles if that’s what the pet likes!
