Thomas has been an absolute gem of a dog walker for our pup, Milo! From day one, his communication has been clear, timely, and reassuring — we always knew when walks were happening and how Milo was doing. He’s incredibly reliable and consistent, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even more importantly, it’s obvious how much he genuinely cares about dogs. Milo warmed up to him right away, and it’s been clear from their post-walk photos and updates that he absolutely adores Thomas! We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our furry family member. Highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for a caring, dependable dog walker.

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!

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: If you're looking for someone who can truly keep up with an active dog, you’ve found the right person. I am an outdoor enthusiast who believes that a tired dog is a happy dog. Living in Allston (02134), I am right in the heart of the action and familiar with all the best local routes, from the Charles River Esplanade and Ringer Park to the Soldiers Field Road Dog Park. Why choose me? - New to Rover, Fully Dedicated: As I am just starting my journey on this platform, I am highly motivated to provide top-tier care and earn your trust through 5-star service. - Fully Mobile & Local: I am very mobile and cover Allston, Brighton, Brookline, and Cambridge. - Maximum Flexibility: Since I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute requests or mid-day walks when your plans change or work runs late. - Tailored Activity: From high-energy runs for athletic pups to slow, mindful strolls for senior dogs, I adjust every session to your pet's specific age, health, and energy level. Cat Care & Drop-In Visits When I’m not out on the trails, I’m a dedicated cat lover. I have extensive experience with feeding schedules, play habits, and specialized care. I am punctual, reliable, and will ensure your home stays exactly how you left it. I’m excited to meet my new furry neighbors in the area. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to schedule a quick, free meet-and-greet to see if we’re a perfect match! - Monday – Friday: I specialize in the mid-day window (11 AM – 2 PM). This is the core part of my weekday routine, dedicated to giving your pets a much needed break, fresh air, and exercise while you are at work or in classes. - Weekends: My schedule is fully flexible. Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or just need extra coverage, I can typically accommodate any time that works for you. - Local & Responsive: Since I live right here in Allston, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. This allows me to be very punctual and often available for last-minute requests or short-notice drop-ins. - Whether in your home or on a walk, your pet’s safety and emotional well being are my top priorities. I treat every animal with the same level of care I’ve given to my family’s and friends' pets for years. - Routine & Comfort: I strictly follow your established routines (feeding, exercise, medication) to minimize stress for your pet while you're away. - Active Supervision: During walks, I am always alert to our surroundings, ensuring we stay on safe paths and maintain a respectful distance from other animals to avoid any unpredictable situations. - Home Security: I take your trust seriously. I am very attentive to home security and will always double check that all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked and the alarm (if applicable) is set before I leave. - Clear Communication: I love sending quick photo updates or a short message after each visit so you can see that your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced pet sitter with over 4 years of hands-on work caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of small animals. I grew up surrounded by pets—rabbits, snails, cats, and many others—which taught me early on how to understand and care for different animal personalities and needs. Today, I live in a stable, pet-friendly home with one well-socialized ragdoll cat who is friendly and relaxed around other animals. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and at home. 🌟 What Your Pet Can Expect One pet at a time — Your pet receives my full attention and care A clean, calm, comfortable home perfect for overnight stays Weather permitting, fun outings to dog parks and local beaches A friendly resident cat who enjoys company but is respectful of other pets’ space Your pet will enjoy a peaceful, stress-free environment with plenty of affection, playtime, and individualized attention. Whether they’re energetic and adventurous or shy and sensitive, I always adapt to their needs to make their stay feel like a home away from home. I follow your routines and house rules so your pet feels secure, I always use their own bowls, beds, and toys for comfort, and I can handle special needs like meds, senior support, or post-surgery care. Litter boxes and habitats are cleaned daily, and you’ll get plenty of photo and video updates so you never miss their best moments.

About: I have had dogs since I was young. I have experience ranging from small to large. I just adopted a lab mix and I honestly love walking dogs so much that I would love to walk yours as well. I would not walk the dogs at the same time unless we talk about it prior. I love dogs and walking and would love to help be a part of your pets life! I’m currently working part time and am available weekdays during the day for walks or at home visits! I currently work part time, normally in the mornings. I am available Monday-Wednesday, after 11 am and Thursday, Friday after 3 pm. Dog walking would help fill out my weekly schedule. Going slowly. I know dogs get scared when approached too fast. I would treat all dogs with patience, giving them the time to trust me. I would introduce treats and toys.

About: Hello! My name is Annie and I have been a dog lover for my entire life, at one point my family owned 5 dogs! I graduated from UMass Amherst in 2017 and during my 4 years there I was a volunteer at a greyhound rescue that took in retired racing greyhounds. During my time there I learned how to care for dogs with many different needs and temperments and I discovered a passion for taking care of dogs. I currently live in an house in Oak Bluffs with my 8 year old goldendoodle Maya and 4 year old labradoodle Luna. I have a fully fenced in yard and work from home so I am able to be with your pups all day and give them lots of attention, potty breaks, and playtime. My husband and I also walk the dogs together frequently and we would be happy to take your pups out on walks as well! I am currently working full time from home so your pup will be able to chill with me all day! My older dog is very relaxed and likes to sleep most of the day but my younger dog LOVES to play and if you have a dog that loves to play I have a big backyard for them to play in! I have a larger fenced in back yard that is great for dogs to relax or play in. When walking outside I will always have your dogs on a leash.

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.
