Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers in Boston, MA

15 of the 49 dog parks, shelters, trainers and boarding kennels we list in Boston are pet sitting or dog walking services.

In-home pet care varies significantly by scheduling flexibility, mid-day availability, and whether providers offer individual neighborhood walks or drop-in visits. Some businesses assign a dedicated sitter for every visit, while larger services dispatch a team based on daily routing. Knowing a company's neighborhood coverage area does not tell you their policies on emergency cancellations, medication administration, or real-time visit updates.

Good to know

What is the difference between a dog walker and a pet sitter?

Dog walkers typically provide 30- to 60-minute daytime visits to exercise your dog while you are at work. Pet sitters generally manage full vacation care, which can include multiple daily drop-ins or overnight stays in your home to handle feeding, play, and routines.

How much do local dog walking and pet sitting services typically cost?

Single dog walks often range from $20 to $35 per half-hour visit. Overnight pet sitting in your home typically starts around $75 to $125 per night, though rates vary based on the number of pets, location, and specific care requirements.

What should I ask a potential sitter or walker before hiring them?

Ask if they are bonded and insured, how they handle medical emergencies, and what their backup plan is if your assigned walker falls ill. It is also helpful to clarify their cancellation policy and whether you will receive photo or GPS updates after each visit.
