About: I don't just walk and feed dogs; I offer targeted care based on their age and needs. Socialization & Training: I have experience reinforcing basic commands (sit, stay, come) and house-training routines. I focus on positive reinforcement and safe socialization to instill good habits. Senior Care: I am skilled in administering oral and topical medications, managing limited mobility (e.g., assisting with slings/harnesses for walks), and recognizing subtle signs of discomfort or illness in older dogs. Their comfort and safety are my top priority. Clear Communication: I provide daily, detailed updates including photos, GPS-tracked walk routes, and notes on eating, bathroom habits, and overall mood. You will always know how your dog is doing. Focus on Routine: I strictly adhere to your dog's established feeding schedule, exercise routine, and house rules. Consistency is key to a dog's comfort, especially when their family is away. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pets. I am available for boarding any day of the week, and my flexible schedule allows for extensive playtime, frequent walks, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. When your pet stays at my home, my focus is entirely on providing a safe, comfortable, and structured environment that minimizes stress and maximizes happiness. All outdoor time, including potty breaks and supervised play, is conducted using a leash under strict, constant supervision. Your dog will be treated exactly the way you want them to be treated. I stricly adhere to all routines involving walking, feeding, medication, furniture use, and beyond.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. As a retired Division I student-athlete and current graduate student at Tufts, I am dependable, responsible, and highly organized. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. One thing that sets me apart is my patience and ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality. I have experience working with anxious, timid, and shy dogs who need extra reassurance, as well as high-energy dogs who thrive with exercise, structure, and play. As a former Division I athlete, I am also comfortable handling larger, stronger dogs and can confidently keep up with dogs that need long walks, runs, or plenty of activity. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, lots of attention, or simply a reliable person to check in on them, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a graduate student at Tufts University with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop in visit, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and responsive. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I will always follow your instructions closely, keep pets safely leashed during walks, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

“Victoria was great, she was easy to communicate with and very accommodating for my bernese, she came right to where we were staying for a meet and greet to keep her calm.”

Salvatore P.

“So grateful for Caitlin! I work from home and was nervous about hiring a dog walker when I recently had to be in the office for a multi-day event. Caitlin took great care of my dog Summer and walked her for the full 30 min (sometimes a bit more!) I really appreciate trustworthy folks and it's a bonus that Summer seemed to really like Caitlin too.”

Carrie A.

“Kailee is a good communicator and very responsible. She gave Jasper, our active Siberian Husky, just the kind of long walks he needed. I can recommend her without reservation.”

About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and of many personalities. I will provide fun, enriching company for your pet, and can assist with all aspects of pet care like food, medication, walks, and sanitation. I have previously owned a reactive dog, and have experience with pets with health issues. Additionally, I have experience with cats, lizards, and fish! Hire me and I will draw your pet free of charge <3 When I am living at home, my life surrounds my dogs. We eat breakfast and dinner at the same time, we go on evening walks. In college, I hope to give myself the space to interact with pets a few times a week, while providing pet care and assistance to anyone who may need it. Within my clients’ homes I make sure to follow all guidelines surrounding where their pet is and isn’t allowed. I do not rush into showing affection, instead letting the pet warm up to my presence in their space, providing them with calm company until they approach me. I always make sure to provide positive reinforcement for good behavior, and work to create a lasting bond with the animals I work with.

“Charlotte took great care of our pup! Would definitely reach out again!”

About: I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for the past 7 years, including both dogs and cats with different personalities and care needs. I also have a cat of my own who requires daily care, including oral medication and an inhaler, so I understand the importance of patience, routines, and attention to detail. I focus on providing dependable care, keeping pets comfortable in their normal environment, and communicating clearly with owners while they’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for. I currently work overnight shifts part-time, which gives me daytime flexibility for pet care, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. I’m organized and dependable, and I make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos during visits or stays. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I’m respectful of routines, instructions, and home rules, and I pay close attention to pets’ comfort and behavior. I also have experience caring for a cat who requires daily medication and an inhaler, so I’m comfortable handling more involved care needs and keeping a close eye on pets while owners are away.

About: Spent extensive time caring after my families dogs & cats as well as the pets of my neighborhood. I also look after my friends cats and dogs of Boston and Maine. Comfortable with walking, playing with, feeding, and even some light training with dogs. I don’t have certifications with dog training but I would be happy to reinforce training you do with them for some light commands. I work in sales in a fairly fluid environment. I spend some time at home and the rest of my time around the city and greater Boston. Drop in pet care/walking fits perfectly into my schedule as I can work from my computer and travel when needed. I do have a fenced in yard but I’m not currently accepting pet care in my own home outside of the critters I already have. I may open up to this in the future but I do use a lot of space In my car already.

About: I've always loved taking care of dogs! I had my first when I was 9, a beagle. Throughout the years I've done various dog-walking and dog/cat sitting for friends and family, and now I miss seeing all the dogs as I live away from them and they have passed :'( On multiple occasions, I took care of two loving but rambunctious pit bulls for weekends and extended periods of time while my friend was away. Gave them medicines, lots of attention, and invigorating walks. I took care of the house while they were away and sometimes stayed overnight. I have experience with dogs that need to be on a tight leash in certain scenarios, and experience allowing them to just have fun in safe spaces. With well-behaved dogs, I've gone on runs in the forest and been able to have them off-leash. I love having a buddy! I care a lot about maintaining the boundaries and rules around how you have trained your pet and keeping their routines. I manage an office nearby Monday thru Thursday, flexible Fridays. The morning walks are reliable and I can message you specifics and sort your dog’s and my schedule around it :) Most days, the afternoon walk can be configured into the schedule. We have a larger yard and no pets living in the house. My sisters nearby both have friendly dogs if yours would like some pals. Some days are busier or have a tighter walk schedule for me, but usually just 2 weekdays, which is why this works for me! I love taking dogs to different adventures like the Fells or games in my backyard, or just hanging out and cuddling :)

“Daphne was great walking our dog Mango! She was responsive, communicative, and took great care of him! Will definitely be working with her again”
