About: I started dog walking when I was 12 years old and have been caring for animals in many ways since! I have fostered kittens, dog sat and have had many pets of my own. I currently have four cats, including a senior cat, a dog, chinchillas and a snake! I have experience with senior pets who have arthritis as well incontinence/diapering and am able to provide care for your pet no matter their age or needs. I can even give your dog a bath if it is needed. I have given baths to cats but only those with a calm temperament. I will treat your pet with the utmost love, care and respect. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have full availability, 7 days a week, to help you with your pet care needs. I am available to walk your dog (even your cat!), pop in to feed your pet and play with them, and even stay overnight to care for them when you are away. For Dogs: When caring for your dog in your home, I will walk them regularly and always respect their safe spaces. I will ensure that they always have a full water bowl and feed them when needed. If you have a particularly energetic dog, I can walk them more frequently. If your dog has a fear of storms, I will sit by them and soothe them for as long as they need to make them feel safe. For Cats: When caring for you cat in your home, I will be sure to play with them if they show interest, respect their safe spaces and if your cat enjoys walks (mine does!), I will happily take them out for a walk! I will ensure that their litter boxes are always clean, their water is full and feed them when needed.

About: I have had a long history of family that takes care of dogs, from training to sitting. My family used to rescue dogs back in Houston, TX where my mother currently has 7 dogs. We care for dogs like their our our children and do strict training and learning skills for our dogs at home. I have had and taken care of all types of breeds such as labs, pits, beagles, boxers, chihuahuas , pugs, schnauzers, and more small to large. I am comfortable with all dogs. I’ve worked with reactive dogs at shelters. Being very athletic helps maintain a consistent activity level with dogs as well as making sure they are very well nourished as far as their nutrition. I used to walk neighborhood dogs often and babysit friends dogs.

About: I’ve worked with animals for years—both personally and professionally. I went to an agricultural high school, where I took classes on animal behavior, hygiene, and training. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, and farm animals. I've had my own dog since I was 11, and I’ve been pet-sitting since 2022, doing everything from walking and feeding to staying overnight and cleaning up messes. I'm comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and high-energy or quirky personalities. Right now I’m watching two cats and an older dog, so I’m used to managing different routines and energy levels. I’ve also been a babysitter since I was 12, and I’m really patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. I’m a commuter student living in Roslindale, MA. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of availability for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I’m a morning person, so I don’t mind early routines at all. I’m also familiar with Boston public transportation and love walking, so getting around without a car is no problem for me. I’m easygoing, organized, and happy to work with your pet’s schedule. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I always aim to make the space feel peaceful and familiar for them. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet gets both attention and downtime. I’m clean, respectful, and happy to send updates if you’d like. I’m used to staying overnight, walking dogs with different leash behaviors, and working with animals of all temperaments. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority.

About: I have cared for my two pitbulls for over five years and have experience caring for pets from when they are puppies through their senior years. I love spending time with all types of dogs and would be able to play with them, keep them company, and provide so much love and attention! I also have experience giving dogs oral medications and can provide assistance if your pet needs medication during my care. I am a remote worker and mostly work from the hours of around 11AM - 5PM, Mon - Friday with some long breaks in between meetings. Because my meetings are virtual, I am more flexible and am able to be with your pets longer if needed. I am free later evenings as well. I care for my pets by providing them with playtime and stimulation to keep them engaged, feed them on a routine, take them for walks, and enjoy time together.

“We highly recommend Ayana! Our cat can be very shy and particular, but she warmed up to Ayana quickly. Our cat received great care during our trip and Ayana was very accommodating and communicative throughout. We're already booking her again for our next trip out of town.”

About: Prior to dog walking, I worked for 3 years at a well loved, reputable dog boarding, training, and daycare facility in NH. There, I cared for dogs with a range of behavioral backgrounds and medical needs, including many that were turned away from other facilities for behavioral problems. I prioritize meeting dogs where they're at with compassion and being aware of their boundaries and needs. I have availability most days, and keep my Rover calender up to date with any days I will be unavailable or out of town. Open to last minute bookings. I am happy to care for your dog(s) in your home in a way that accomadates their unique needs. I will follow any instructions you leave me. Does your dog have some quirks or preferences you'd like me to know about? Let me know!

About: Hi! I love dogs and honestly all animals, but I grew up with dogs and they are all so special. I have experience with many breeds, sizes, ages. I am a nurse who works 3x 12 hour shifts a week, so I have a lot of flexibility on my days off to help out for any hours. I live in an apartment but there is a dog park near by and many sidewalks. I love to take dogs on long walks and spend a lot of time outside!

“Sydney is amazing!!! She has lots of experience working with dogs and it shows. Mine can be a bit rowdy at times but she had them sitting and calm within like a minute of being there! She’s super sweet and communicative as well. We would 100% use Sydney again. I had 0 concerns after meeting her and our experience was great!”

About: I’ve been doing freelance sittings and dog walking for about two years now. I’ve always enjoyed caring for canines/felines of all breeds, some even with handicaps or special needs. Once I communicate with a pet’s parent and make sure I fully understand their baby’s tendencies and needs, I use those to create a comforting bond between the pet and I so the parent can remain focused on whatever task has them away from their love, and the pet can have a comfortable wait on their return. Pet care is something I do for free a lot with neighbors pets and my own, all the time. My weekends, and weekday evenings are free. I follow all instructions, and make sure all pets needs are communicated clearly. Attention to detail is especially crucial when caring for dogs with particular needs.

About: I have rescued birds, kitty’s that have been thrown in the trash and puppies. My cat has had 4 litters, I have helped her deliver all those kittens and I helped her take care of them like they were my own. I have taken care of animals since I was born. I have always loved them and trying to spend as much time with them as I can, they help me think and relax. I also want to work with animals professionally in the future, but we all start somewhere right? I also own two pets, one cat (Amanda) and a puppy, which is a rescue (Gigi) I can take care of small dogs and any kind of cat, I am happy with taking care of any breed. I don’t have any specific request, all I ask for is for specific times and dates, thank you!!! When I take care of pets I treat them like my babies, I make sure they’re fed, they get their playing time and also a few snuggles every couple of minutes. My favorite part is meeting them, these situations are always scary but eventually it turns into a kindergarten class lol.
