About: I have experience caring for dogs in shelter, daycare, and boarding environments. I've trained and fostered many shelter dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I'm a college student and love spending any time with dogs! I'm a student with availability in the afternoons and evenings. My schedule is fairly flexible on weekdays, and I have set times on weekends available. I make sure to follow each dog's routine and treat every dog as an individual. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I enjoy sending updates and photos.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been taking care of others' pets for the past 10 years. I have experience dog and house-sitting, dog walking, and even coming over to just help some puppy energy out. I am a college student away from home looking to be both helpful in my community and to spend quality time with dogs! I am currently a student so I can fit pet care in around my classes. I typically have one midday class a day and have flexible free-time outside of classes. I have time in mornings and afternoons to come check on your pups. I know each dog and home is different. I will take time to note any and all instructions and boundaries my client may have and take them seriously. I know our pets are family and deeply valuable. I will treat each home and pup with care and respect.
“I made a super last-minute booking, and Lucy was incredibly flexible and accommodating! She was SO wonderful with Phoebe and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. I felt completely comfortable knowing Phoebe was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs for over 2 decades and continue to love doing so. Love taking dogs for walks, going to dog parks, etc. Can accommodate most special care requests. Happy to stay the night at your place, or if your dog is social, have her/him over at mine. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai who is 5 years old, 16 pounds, and well-socialized. I’m currently working part time (middle of the day) and will have lots of time to take care of your fur babies. For home visits, I can typically do 7:30-10am, 3-5pm, 7-11pm, but I make arrangements outside of these times with advanced notice. I have a big yard that my dog enjoys. It is not fenced in but we can use a long leash so dogs can run around, play fetch, and explore.
“Sebastian was great!! Very communicative and friendly. We did a meet & greet prior to his scheduled walk with our pup. It was great for him to get to know our pup’s attitude and high energy. He handled our pup well and gave great feedback on his experience. Already booked Sebastian again!”
“Lydia was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely friendly and clearly loves dogs. She was so patient and kind to our dog, and we would definitely have Lydia care for him again. We highly recommend her!”
“We couldn't be happier with Nick's dog-walking services! Our energetic puppy absolutely loves his walks with Nick. After just two weeks of service, we can see a significant positive impact on our pup's behavior and overall happiness. Nick is just what we needed—reliable, friendly, and great with our furry friend. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi! My name is naomi, i am 26 and live in the greater boston area. I have joined Rover because I have loved animals , and spending time with animals for my entire life. I have had dogs all throughout my life and constantly walked my dogs on a regular basis. I also have had a dog with behavioral issues so i know how to work with all different dogs and understand that they all have different needs. I currently have 2 cats and have had cats my whole life so I am also very accustomed to taking care of cats as well as dogs! I hope to meet some incredible animals and keep them happy! My schedule is very flexible currently as I am between jobs. I also have a vehicle which makes traveling to you and your lovely pets much simpler! I ensure my pet is feeling safe and happy at all times to the best of my ability. I walk and feed the dogs and ensure they are cleaned if necessary. If I also make sure that the animal (cat or dog) has been fed and has enough water, and ensure their water is clean. If I am taking care of a cat, I would ensure their litter box is cleaned at least once a day.
“We’re so grateful for the care Monty received during Sam’s visits while he was recovering from surgery. She provided patience, TLC, and close attention to his medical needs. We couldn’t recommend her more highly, especially for pets needing extra care.”
About: I’ve grown up around pets and animals and am very comfortable with them. I raised a lab when I was a teenager and love cats too. Currently available any day and time. All weekdays are available and I’m usually free on the weekends. Happy to help take care of the pets I am very patient and like to play with the pets. I want to make sure they have enrichment and exercise time. I am great with cats and dogs
About: I’ve been taking care of not just only my dogs, but other people’s for as long as I can remember! My family has rescued dogs, adopted old dogs, and adopted puppies. I have a wide variety of care I that I can’t wait to provide. Dogs are great best friends and I have loved them all my life, so I’m excited to meet yours! I’m pretty available for drop ins whenever you need, aside from my class times which we can work around! I can come walk your pups or hang out with them, play with them and feed them, whatever you would like! I can come to your home and care for your pets, I’ll provide a comfortable, fun and safe environment for them! I always feel bad when I have to leave my dogs for any reason, so I know how important it is to leave them in good hands, which is what I can be for you!
“Brittany was amazing with our female labradoodle Mia! She clearly loves animals and was very attentive and provided a very nice summary and photos of Mia after every visit. She’s great and we highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up in a household with my two chihuahuas, Gizmo and Angel, and had a revolving door of stray cats that eventually joined the family. I raised a baby kitten after she had been abandoned on the highway. I had to bottle feed her, help her use the restroom, and keep her warm. Eventually, she survived the endeavor, and became my constant companion. I named her Karma! Friends have trusted me with their pets more times than I can count. I've cared for my family's dog, Charlie, who needs special care for his degenerative joint condition. I raised a family of kittens after my Karma gave birth and fled the coop. I've dealt with stray cats that have had prior histories and needed patience and a calm approach. I’m currently working part-time on my own business, but would love the chance to get to meet more wonderful animals. I’m usually pretty flexible, and can be counted on to be reliable. I love animals! I’ll always make sure they feel safe and secure, while giving them as much pets and playtime as needed. I’m also generally capable around a house. I'm mechanically inclined, good with plants, and I'm a neat freak. I also managed employee housing for several years, so I can be counted on to be responsible and reliable. I’ll make sure your best pal will maintain a similar schedule as your own.
“Alexander has been wonderful with Pocket! He’s reliable, punctual, and has been so great about keeping him comfortable and happy. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks, and I’ve really appreciated how dependable he’s been. I highly recommend him!”
About: I recently graduated from college and am looking to make money before starting a full time position. I love animals and have owned 3 dogs and 2 cats in my life. I have regularly been walking my dogs for years, and love to go on hikes with my dogs. (I often hike in centennial park if you know the area). I am fine having animal in my car if you prefer I drive to hiking trails, but am also content walking around neighborhoods! In addition I have pet sit in the owners home before. The dog had specific allergies so I learned how to give him medicine / make specific food and treats for him. I am happy watching / walking dogs of all sizes. My schedule is completely open at the moment!! I am happy to walk / sit dogs monday- friday, and would consider weekends based on the situation. My dog usually walks on leash in neighborhoods and off leash in the woods, but I am fine with walking dogs fully on leash based on owners wants.
