“Stephanie was wonderful for a one week stay with our pup again! The house was in pristine condition and Stephanie even went above and beyond to help us move our car when construction was happening on our street. I’d book with her any time!”

“Amanda did an exceptional job taking care of my dog and senior cat while I was away. She has great communication skills and kept me informed about each animal’s wellbeing throughout my trip. She is very detail oriented and made sure she had all the information she needed for the sit. Most importantly, Amanda was amazing with my animals! They both absolutely loved her ( and my cat is very particular about people)! She took time to learn their personalities and spent time with each accordingly. I have never come back to such relaxed, happy animals after a sit! I can’t recommend Amanda highly enough!”

About: Hello! My name is Kayala, and I am a college student from Somerville, Massachusetts. I have been cat sitting for the past seven years and have had cats and bunnies my entire life. I have multiple regular cat sitting clients in the Somerville, Cambridge, Boston area that I have maintained through the years. I am a friendly and trustworthy person, and I make sure to treat pets with respect and love while also taking care of all of their needs. I have a cat in Somerville named Violet, and a bunny named Loretta who stays with me in my dorm during the school year. I'm known for loving my pets more than anything, and have tattoos for both of them! They are my girls, and my most divine companions. I deeply understand the strength of the bond between you and your kitties <3. I know it can be stressful to leave your kitties in the care of a stranger, but I make sure to send photos and updates! I am also happy to meet with you in person, learn about any special care instructions and preferences, and make sure you and your kitties are comfortable. I am an excellent pet snuggler (known for making cats, dogs, goats, and pigs fall asleep in my arms!), but am also always very aware of an animal's body language. It is so important to respect their boundaries! I have experience giving oral medication, inhalers, critical care (liquid food for rabbits), and subcutaneous injections. I am in Somerville for holidays and school breaks (summer and winter), where pet care is a prioritized commitment for me. I take same day bookings, as long as I am in town! I have extensive experience with cat sitting and have been running my "business" independently for the past seven years in the Boston area. I am the sole caregiver for my bunny, Loretta, and have had bunnies and cats my entire life. When I stop by for my visits, I give attention for a minimum of 25 minutes and meet them where they are. If they want to cuddle, I am open arms! If they want to play, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. If they are scared of my new presence, I will sit thoughtfully and move at their pace to make them as comfortable as possible. I always send photos and updates to pet parents when I see their babies!
“Ilse was wonderful watching our pets - particularly our anxious dog - over Fourth of July weekend. Super communicative and comfortable giving our pup meds. Even noticed our plants were getting scorched in the heat and needed some refreshment! Will definitely inept be calling her in the future.”

“Lelani is amazing and went beyond our expectations to love on Cash! She sends the most amazing updates with photos and loved ones our boy so much. It made having to be away so much easier. She left our place spotless, which was a surprising plus.”


“Amy was amazing! She house sat with my cat Louie for a week and was so good about sending updates, videos, pics. She gave Louie lots of love and attention, I’m so grateful to have found her”

“Tam was a fantastic pet sitter and comes with our highest recommendation! She stayed at our place for a week while we were away and was extremely thorough in gaining all necessary information before we left. She was very communicative throughout the week and it's clear that our pets were given much attention. Thank you, Tam!”

“Marcus (listed as Devon on Rover) was a phenomenal sitter for my GSD Izzy. He was in constant communication with me and my family around her care, went out of his way to ensure she had three walks and plenty of play time each day and made sure her scheduled walks, medication, and feeding times remained structured for the 2.5 weeks I was traveling. Izzy is a very loving dog but does require a confident handler with advanced knowledge given her working dog temperament and Marcus adapted to her needs seamlessly. Would recommend and rebook without hesitation (in fact we already have) and was grateful to have him for our extended sit. It allowed me to travel with sustained peace of mind and I returned home to a VERY happy and pampered dog who seemed less excited by my return than she was disappointed by Marcus’ departure!”

“Kristina is absolutely amazing. Truly. She stayed with my adult husky in my condo, and was just fantastic. Amazing updates, super kind and thoughtful. Highly recommended! Thank you, Kristina!!”

“My wife and I are first time dog owners who recently got a puppy. Anastasia took care of him for an evening while we were away and did a fantastic job! Theo was so comfortable with her and the peace of mind knowing that he was safe and well cared for is all I could ask for. Will definitely be working with Anastasia again!”

“Maddy was so amazing! She sent multiple updates a day with pictures, and our kitten was clearly incredibly well taken care of and happy. She left our place clean and just like we left it. We’d absolutely book with her again. Thank you again :)”

“Matisse is great. Very thoughtful and takes great care of our dog and house. Also she’s very upfront with any potential issues and willing to be flexible about timing. Would gladly have her take care of our dog again!”

“Alyssa was amazing with Gio while we were away for the weekend! She kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. We felt really comfortable knowing Gio was in great hands. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Sydney was fantastic! She stayed at our apartment over a weekend to care for our dog. She sent pictures all weekend and was very responsive. This was our first time having someone do in-home pet care for us and we felt completely comfortable in her hands. I highly recommend her for in-home pet care!”

“Aubrey was great! She saved me when I needed someone last minute. My dog was super happy and got plenty of exercise, and the apartment was left better than I found it. Will use again!”

“Julia took amazing care of my pup on my overnight trip! I got plenty of pictures and pupdates and she was very diligent in letting me know how things were going. We will be very excited to have Julia again!”

“Kelly was amazing! She was very respectful of our home and she took excellent care of our dog. Her communication and updates were superb and we would happily re-hire her or recommend her to our friends.”

James was an excellent pet sitter and house sitter for us. He took amazing care of our dog and cat, to include over the July 4th weekend where our dog had significant fireworks anxiety. We got daily photos and videos, and its clear James really invested in engaging the animals in games and activities throughout his time caring for them. I think he even taught our dog some new tricks! Our home was returned even cleaner than he found it, which was unnecessarily kind of him. We hope to work with James again!

Raul did an amazing job taking care of my babies! My sitter fell through last minute and he had no problem booking the visit. He was very communicative and made sure to send pictures and updates throughout the stay. My pets were very well taken care of and I will definitely be having Raul watch them again in the future!

Lily was amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend her! I have two dogs and she was wonderful with both of them. My golden, Wrigley, is going through radiation therapy and required special care which she provided meticulously. She was punctual, communicative, and professional and the dogs loved her. She even did the dishes when we were out. Highly recommend - she will take amazing care of your fur babies.

Brandy took wonderful care of my senior dog, Bunny, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly communicative throughout the visit and sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and she was so attentive to Bunny's needs as an older dog. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I would absolutely book with Brandy again. Highly recommend!

Great experience! Masiel took wonderful care of our two dogs over July 4th (and gave them some special love around fireworks!). Came super prepared to the meet and greet, took good care of our home and provided us lots of updates while we were gone. Our boys loved her!

Mirabel took great care of our pups over the Fourth of July, sending us regular updates and great pictures! Pups needed some extra TLC over the weekend, including giving meds multiple times throughout the day, and she provided them with everything they needed and more

I’m so beyond happy that Luis was available to watch Hallie while I was traveling! He is an excellent communicator and provided me with lots of updates. It made me so happy and more relaxed while on my trip knowing that my girl was having a great time too. His experience working in a fear free setting was incredibly helpful, as my dog is working through some leash reactivity currently. He was so patient with her and made sure to ask questions so he would understand her triggers and how best to try and support her. I’ll definitely be re-booking!

Amanda was absolutely amazing taking care of our dog, Millie and our cat, Dobby for a week. From the moment we left, she checked in regularly with updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our pets. When we came home, Dobby and Millie were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious they had received plenty of love and attention while we were away. I would hire Amanda again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!

I was apprehensive about leaving my 14+ year old corgi for a week and a half and have been avoiding traveling anywhere I can’t take her for the past couple years. I was so glad to find Lilia and she did a fantastic job. In our meet and greet, she asked many insightful and detailed questions about caring for Lexi, took detailed notes, and Lexi took to her very quickly. As Lexi is senior and has a few quirks, I would only have been comfortable leaving her with someone very experienced and capable in caring for animals, and that was clear from our initial meeting. Lexi had a FANTASTIC time while I was gone. I received daily updates with photos of Lexi on adventures and clearly having a great time. Lilia was also careful to ask me about anything that seemed out of the ordinary in Lexi’s behavior - mostly senior dog quirks I had forgotten to mention but it was reassuring that I certainly would have heard about anything more serious. Lilia was also extremely courteous when it came to my apartment. I am so grateful to Lilia for the excellent care she took of Lexi, allowing me to really travel for the first time in years. My only concern while traveling was that Lexi looked like she was having so much fun that she would be disappointed about me returning home! I will have to find another excuse to travel soon so Lexi can spend more time with her new friend.
