Aidan walked our dog on a regular basis for about two years. Some weeks more than others depending on my schedule and Aidan's. Aidan was always reachable and communicated well with me to arrange timing for the walks. Our dog loved going for walks with Aidan, he couldn't wait to go once he saw her approaching the front door, and its clear that Aidan is great with dogs: calm, loving and also playful. She would often spend time after the walk just playing with our dog before going home. Can't recommend Aidan enough,

David has been an awesome dog walker for Katsu. He has given him lots of attention and structured the walls so that my pup is always engaged. It is clear to me that he truly loves walking and caring for animals. Highly recommend to anyone who is searching for a sitter/walker.

Joseph did a very last minute, same day walk with Cava. He was very understanding and flexible- even managed to get in a meet and greet before the scheduled walk that night! I will definitely be rebooking with Joseph in the future.

Elliott is awesome. Our pup loves to see him three times a week, and Elliott is clearly great with him too - calming him right down and getting him out the door for his walk. Elliott is super reliable, flexible, and nice. We’re so glad we found him.

Kate is always my go-to person to watch my golden doodle, Kodi. She is very reliable with the basics of feeding and letting him outside, but she always goes above and beyond by taking him on long walks and playing with him outside. He’s always excited to see her when she arrives! I’d recommend Kate to anyone that needs someone to watch or walk their dog.

Shayna is the best! She walks my puppy a few times a week while I am at work and is always super on top of everything. She takes the best photos, gives detailed reviews about how their walk went, and genuinely cares about my dog. She even lets me know when I am low on poop bags! I highly recommend her for all of your animal care needs!

Catherine is a patient, attentive, and diligent person. These attributes have allowed her to be an exceptional caretaker to her own French bulldog and pets of friends and family members. With her own frenchie, she has been patient during the crate, pee pad, and walking learning process, attentive to dog behavior, and diligent with rewarding good behavior and redirecting unhealthy ones to foster positive and loving environment. Additionally, she is caring with pets and respects and honors the standards set by owners.

Shelby is the best!! She’s been walking my dog for the past 3-4 months and is so reliable and responsible. Tracy can be a little stubborn but Shelby has always been so patient and willing to work with her. Her love for animals is definitely apparent and I always feel relieved knowing I can trust her with Tracy’s care! She’s super responsive and a great communicator and even sends extra pics from walks. I cannot recommend her enough!

Lillian is amazing! She takes our puppy on his midday walk every day, and had such patience. She even gave us the name of her trainer when we were struggling with some puppy biting and temper tantrums. Wish I could give her 6 stars!

Let me first say that I am very picky about who my little Stella gets taken care of by… I won’t even leave her with my parents! That being said, Shreya is the only person I have gained trust in caring for my dog. She even sends me a few updates with photos throughout the day so I can rest assured Stella is getting well cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring individual to care for your dog, I highly recommend Shreya!

I've never know anybody to love and adore pets as much as Claire does. She's such a kind and caring person and these traits are amplified when it comes to looking after pets! There's nobody I'd trust more than Claire to look after my dog, I know she would take pride in looking after her and making sure she had the best time!!

TLDR: If you need a reliable pet sitter, Danni's your go-to. You can take trips worry-free! Danni has cared for my cats on multiple occasions, including some last-minute instances. Given that my cats are quite energetic and sociable, it's important for sitters to be attentive and engage with them. Danni quickly had the cats playing and snuggling with her. She maintained regular communication with updates and photos, and I came back to content cats. I used to always feel bad leaving my babies at home, but I know they are happy when Danni is the one caring for them. I will definitely keep using her services!

About: I've taken care of my own family dog (8 yr old spring spaniel) until I moved to Boston, I've always helped out walking, bathing, or dog sitting other friends and families dogs. I am an evening law student and will be completing a remote internship during the week. My flexible schedule gives me plenty of time to check in with your dog to go on a walk or play throughout the day. I know how important it is for a dog to be comfortable with a new person entering their life and happy to work with whatever you need to make you and your dog most comfortable!
