Dog Sitting in Cambridge

About: I have 5+ years of hands on pet care experience and treat every dog like they were my own. I prioritize structure, consistency, and calm care, and I pay close attention to each dog’s needs, especially when they’re settling in. I love keeping dogs’ minds sharp with fun trick training and scent games, in addition to running around and playing outside. My beagle, Mylo, is very warm and friendly. If your dog is comfortable, Mylo will happily play and interact with them, and if they prefer to lounge, we’ll relax together. Your dog will have plenty of downtime, and all interactions are closely monitored so they feel safe and comfortable. They will never be left alone, and I’ll proactively communicate with you throughout their stay. I work from home, so I can give dogs plenty of attention. I take two long walks each day in the morning and evening, and have time during the day for short walks, play, and potty breaks. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, structured walks, rest, and lots of in house play. While my yard is unfenced, I use a long leash with a stake so dogs can safely enjoy some backyard play if they like. My schedule is flexible, so I can adapt to each pet’s needs. I follow the same routine and instructions the owner provides, ensuring their pet’s comfort, exercise, meals, and supervision are consistent with their usual routine.

“Taryn is great with my puppy Niko, he really likes her. I definitely recommend using Taryn if you ever need a reliable dog walker/sitter.”

About: I have had pets the majority of my life! Dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, you name it! I have always been an animal lover, I will try to pet anything! I treat every animal with kindness I do work full time, however I have a lot of time off during the week. My schedule is 12 hour shifts so it gives me time off on days most people have to work I approach all animals calmly and always tell them how good they are and how loved they are. They are definitely part of the family!

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have actively taken care of multiple dogs for the past 18 years. Many friends and family member of mine have always trusted me with their pets, and cared for them for a month at a time, including a 6 year old Maltese poodle blind dog. I’ve had pets in and around the house ever since I was a little kid. I grew up with a Siberian husky, an Akita, a German shepherd, and a cat, so I’ve always known how to handle and care for any size of pet! I’m currently working part-time so I have extremely flexible hours and plenty of time to care for your fur baby, as I understand that they need the extra love, plenty of cuddles and play time, especially when they are away from home! I am a very active person and I love taking daily walks, so I’d be more than happy to be accompanied by your pups. 😊

“She was fantastic with my pup and my sisters dog! We had to take a last minute day trip and she was available to stop by our place and walk our dogs 4x. She was responsive, attentive and very good with our dogs. Thank you!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, birds, chickens, and fish. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently on summer break and only work part-time, so I have lots of free time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving your pets attention and care throughout the day. I love keeping pets active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just extra attention, I’m happy to match their needs and routine.

About: As a dedicated pet lover, I believe every pet deserves a safe, loving, and caring home. Not every home needs a pet, but for those that do, pets are truly family — and to them, we are their whole world. I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own two kitties, whom I’ve even trained to do fun tricks like “hands,” “stand,” and “jump.” I’m always happy to learn new ways to enrich their lives, including leash training for safe outdoor adventures. I’ve also looked after cats and dogs for friends during extended vacations, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family will be in loving and capable hands. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away — just as if you were home. 🐾💕 Every pet is unique, with their own personality and preferences. Whether they enjoy walks, playtime, outdoor time, or simply relaxing with a calm companion, I’m always happy to match their energy and care for them in the way that suits them best. Below are the services I offer and what you can expect from each one: Dog Walks I provide dog walks of at least 30 minutes, once or twice daily, depending on your dog’s needs and routine. Home Visits I offer home visits once or twice daily, with each visit lasting at least one hour. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet is well cared for with feeding, fresh water, playtime, affection, and outdoor time if they enjoy it. I’m also able to administer oral medication when needed. If requested, I can help with light household tasks such as watering plants and bringing in the mail. House Sitting I offer house sitting services and am happy to coordinate the length of my stay based on your pet’s needs and usual routine. I’m comfortable caring for kittens, puppies, senior pets, and shy pets, and I understand that each animal has their own personality, pace, and needs. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos, videos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family. ❤️

About: I have 15 years of professional pet care experience and taught positive reinforcement dog training classes for 5 years. I owned a successful dog walking service in Waterdown for a decade before closing it to bring my passion for pet care home to Cambridge, where I have lived for eight years. I am extremely reliable and communicative, and I come with a wealth of dog handling experience. Insured in good standing with ProFUR since 2018. I am available Mon-Fri for dog walking and 7 days a week for in-home cat visits. If you have needs outside of these set business hours, I am flexible. If I can help, I always will. Please feel free to reach out! I am a homeowner, kid parent, and pet parent myself. I know how much trust it requires to hire reliable pet care, and I also understand the level of responsibility that comes with having access to someone's home and beloved pets. I take this responsibility very seriously and am proud to say that in 15 years, I have never had a client incident involving security. When your pet is in my care, I treat them with love and affection, as if they were my own. Ditto for your house! Doors are locked, pets secured, plants watered, and mail is brought in.

“Alyssa did a lovely job caring for Willow. That stood out the most when I got home and she was happy to see me rather that upset that I went away. lol Thanks Alyssa.”

“We booked Sam for Christmas holidays as we were going away for a few days. She was really punctual and friendly from the very beginning of the booking process. Sam came around to meet us and our cat. She’s really good with shy kitties and did a brilliant job in every visit. She maintained contact while we were away, sending regular updates with pictures. This gave us a lot of peace of mind because our cat can be nervous at times. I would definitely book Sam again in the future. Thanks!”

About: Hi! I’m a Dog/Cat and bearded dragon Mom! I have a loveable Bernese named Maggie who loves everyone :) What sets me apart is my experience with rescue cats, especially shy, anxious, and newly adopted cats that need patience and a calm approach. I work from home, so your cat gets consistent care and supervision in a quiet, stable environment throughout the day. I’m also comfortable with kittens, including socialization and routine building, as well as senior cats who may need extra attention or medication. My focus is always on keeping stress low and helping each cat feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home so I’m always here for your loved one. I can let them out regularly and walk them often! Your pet will not be left alone.. I have a fully fenced yard to run around as well as a separate room if you’re pet needs its own space for whatever reason!
