Dog Walkers in West Roxbury, MA

“Kristen has been phenomenal with our dogs! I was initially nervous about having a dog walker, but Kristen has communicated constantly letting us know everything that happened each day. She sends very detailed updates with lots of cute pictures. She also has gone above and beyond cleaning up when our puppy has accidents and taking both of our dogs on long walks. I feel good knowing that she takes such good care of my babies while I’m away at work.”

“Maggie is wonderful with my puppy Alfie. She takes him out for a walk daily; she is super professional and reliable. I know she loves Alfie like he is her own. We had a great meet and greet with her to ensure Alfie would be comfortable with her. I always get updates and photos from the walks. I know with absolute certainty he is in safe hands.”

“Jana was awesome! She took extra time on the first day to let our pup warm up to her, which didn’t take long. She was also very thoughtful and conscious of his cues in challenging winter weather and spent extra time with him indoors when he didn’t want to be outside. Would love to have Jana back for future walks!”

“Mengyao is a fantastic walker and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. We booked her on short notice but even still, she was able to accommodate last minute, was highly communicative, and asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she was well equipped to handle my two dogs—one of which can be a difficult walker. On top of that, she put me at ease by sending many videos and photos throughout the walk, which was very much appreciated! We will definitely have Mengyao walk our dogs again.”

“Michelle is wonderful! My dog went suddenly blind a few months ago and has had a hard time adapting, especially on walks which make her nervous. I hired Michelle to walk Gracie twice a week to help her have gentle, positive practice to build her confidence back up. Michelle has been amazing with her. She is so patient with Gracie and in tune with her needs and emotional state. Within a few minutes of meeting her, Gracie was more comfortable walking with Michelle than she is with my husband. After two weeks, Gracie is already noticeably more comfortable on walks. We are so lucky we found Michelle!”

About: Since I can remember, I have always been an animal lover. There has never been a time in my life when I haven't had a dog or was helping to care for a friend or neighbor's dog. In 2003 while living alone in New York City, I adopted an 8-week-old pit bull / Lab mix who I was lucky enough to have in my life for 16 years! Lexie was the most loyal and loving dog, and my experience raising him encouraged me to help other dogs in need. After moving home to Boston in 2004, I started volunteering for the Milton Animal Shelter and MSPCA, walking dogs and helping to clean their cages. I also joined a local pit bull rescue where I would work at various adoption events, conduct home visits for potential adoptees, and speak to elementary classes about dog safety and how to be compassionate towards animals. I also completed a week-long course at the Boston Animal Rescue League to help shelter volunteers get a better understanding about the individual personality and needs of the dogs in their care. In 2014 I started a dog walking business on the side which was very rewarding. I had 3-5 dogs I cared for daily and loved the opportunity to work from home as a graphic designer, and get out of the house and play with so many amazing dogs during the afternoon. My husband and I have two children ages 9 and 7, and the most playful, well-tempered 2-year-old Boston Terrier, Rocket. He gets along with all people and dogs and would love another dog or two to play with during the day. Both my husband and I work from home and can assure you that your pet will have all the love, care, and attention it needs while you're away. Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you, Andrea My husband and I both work from home Monday through Friday and can assure you that your pet will have all the love, care and attention it needs while you're away. They are welcome to roam our home and we have a fenced in yard which they would always be supervised in. We also have a crate if they ever wanted some alone time.

“Oliver was great and handled my two weirdo dogs very well. I came home to happy pups and he communicated well. I would love to work with him again, thank you so much Oliver!”

“Arianna was amazing with Thor and sent us a lot of pictures from their walks! She was on time every day and provided a great report card after each walk. We highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, bunnies, hens and roosters. I have never lived without caring for an animal! I love being outside, going for walks, playing and gardening. I am a mom of two school-aged boys and a proud owner of two tuxedo kitties whom we adopted nine years ago. I work part-time in the afternoons as an outdoor preschool art specialist. I am free between 9:30 am, and 1 pm everyday, and Wednesday and Thursday until 3 pm! I may also have early evenings free starting at the end of June. I have plenty of time in my schedule to help you care for your animals. Looking forward to meeting them! I am fun, gentle, playful and caring, and have a good instinct for what dogs and cats need. I can read body language and am sensitive to energy. I look forward to learning more about your pets from you, getting to know them and forging a relationship.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, learning early how to love, comfort, and understand them in a way that feels natural and genuine - and it’s still a favorite part of my life. I recently lost my dog who gave me unconditional love - we were best buds. Even without a fenced yard, I build safe, supervised outdoor time and regular walks into my day. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get the attention they need. I’ve grown up with dogs and always put safety first, creating a calm, supervised environment where pups can relax and feel completely cared for, even without a fenced yard.”

“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”

About: As an animal lover of all kinds from Guinea pigs to Great Danes, I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own dog and Guinea pigs as well as two years of experience in Emergency and Intensive Veterinary Care working as a Vet Tech Assistant at one of the higher ranked animal hospitals in Connecticut. I have experience working with dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs of all ages and in all different conditions of health. I am trained in animal CPR, Care (cage cleanings, food, water, etc.), walks every 2-4 hours, and more! So if your pet makes a mess or needs a little extra love - there's nothing I can't handle! I am currently home from college for the summer, so I am free most days of the week Mondays through Fridays, from extremely early mornings to later nights! In my own home, I have a dog and a guinea pig - this means frequent walks, feedings, plenty of play time and love, cage cleanings, enrichment, nail trimmings (only done by self on guinea pig), and baths every so often. I am of course going to treat your pet as I would my own, not just with plenty of love, but if there are any services you would like done while I am with your pet, let me know!

“Tanya did a great job taking our boxer Nala on daily afternoon walks. She was great at communicating any changes in her schedule with me, flexible to meet my needs to care for Nala, and always polite and professional. Thank you so much for you help Tanya! It was comforting knowing that Nala was in good hands while we were away.”

About: I'm a huge animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets! I have a cat of my own, so I understand the care, patience, and attention pets need each day. Growing up, I had all kinds of pets (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds) which gave me experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I've also helped care for dogs, and I'd love the opportunity to give your pet plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time and have flexibility throughout the week with gaps in my schedule. Because of my flexible schedule, I'm also often able to accommodate short-notice requests for added convenience whenever possible. This allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need rather than feeling rushed. Spending time with animals is something I enjoy, so pet care feels like a rewarding part of my week. I always aim to care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client's home, I follow their pet's usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), litter box or cleanup care, and plenty of attention and companionship to help them feel at ease while their owner is away.

“Sarah was awesome at accommodating a last min walk and was so sweet with my pup. She asked great questions and was nice enough to leave out fresh water for my dog when she left. We look forward to having Sarah help again soon!”

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have four dogs at home in Wisconsin (golden retriever, black lab, and two German shepherds!). I miss them a whole bunch and would love the opportunity to hang out and take care of any dogs! As a recent college graduate, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays throughout most weekdays and weekends. I love spending time with dogs and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s specific routine whenever possible. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and following owner instructions carefully. I’ll treat your pet like my own, providing a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.

“Tiffany is the best! I had to go into the office last minute and Winnie has a bit of separation anxiety so luckily Tiffany came to the rescue. Tiffany could not have been more communicative and left me comfortable Winnie was in the right hands. 11/10 will book again!”

About: Note that, during the holidays, we will give preference to families requesting a 3+ day stays. Meet and greets are 5-7 min virtual (preferred) or outdoor sessions. We are a very dog-friendly family that have our very own furry friend who might qualify as a ‘Velcro Dog’ and I love it! My little Luna is 6 years old and she would love some company, she will be an excellent host/playmate for your doggie while you are away. As a dog owner, I know how hard is to leave your pet behind while going on vacation so I want you to go worry-free, I will look after your furry family member! Drop off whenever - pick up must be by 6pm. Our day starts early, we will walk him/her at least 3 times/day- 25 mins walks and we do have a fenced in backyard to enjoy and plenty of toys. I have 2 kids, they love their furry sister and know the rules around them very well. If left alone, they will be separated in different rooms. What separate us from a regular kennel setting is that, while at our home, pets are treated like our own, we make sure they are entertained and feel loved.
