Dog Sitting Cambridge

About: I have been a pet parent all of my life. I grew up on a farm with every sort of animal. My parents bred Dachshunds and American Eskimos. Currently, I am mom to a rescued Frenchie girl with a heart murmur. She has a Grade 3 of 6 heart murmur which makes me especially familiar with special needs animals. Being a Frenchie mom also means that I am aware of the special needs of Brachycephalic dog breeds (especially during the hot summer months). I worked in a privately owned holistic pet store for more than four years helping customers find the right food, treats and remedies for their fur babies. There is no more satisfying feeling than the results of the help I provided. Seeing the transformation of the fur baby and the happiness that it brought to their pet parent ❤️ I also fostered for Niagara Dog Rescue for a brief period before finding my forever girls. I dealt with dogs with behavioural issues and showed them that not all humans hurt or leave. No request or care detail is ever overlooked. Post walk paw cleaning, face fold cleaning, special post walk treats... Clean water from a freshly washed bowl. Whatever your pup needs will be done. I practice Cesar Millan's techniques and am a calm and confident walker. However; I also know how super important it is for pups to have the opportunity for enrichment through sniffing. All dogs are the cute, cuddle kind. I can't wait to meet yours! I'm home full time other than when walking or checking on fur friends. Your fur family will be able to get as much time and love as they need while you are out/away. In my home, your fur babies become adopted family and will be given the freedom to roam and cuddle wherever they like. If your fur baby needs the safe space of a crate, that is completely doable.

About: Hi Everyone! I can’t wait to hangout with your dog and/or cats; and give them the love, respect and attention they deserve. I know we’d all love to do that ourselves but it’s just not always possible unfortunately. I have 6 of my own cats at home with my husband. Our dogs passed on a few years ago and sitting through rover has allowed me to connect with amazing humans and their super cool pups! I’m comfortable and able to walk multiple dogs at once if needed, Whether we’re walking or hanging out at your place, I will ensure your dog is treated with the love that I treat my own pets with, which is a lot. I will make sure they are fed the proper foods, and medications if necessary and make sure they stay happy and healthy while they await your return. I hope we can chat soon, and arrange a time to meet you and your lovely fur-iend(s)! I’d also like to thank all my clients for their wonderful reviews! It is very much appreciated! ❤️ I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-430pm. I am able to do weekend, as well as extended stays. My husband and I can book up our schedules quickly at times with visiting friends and family, as well as other travel, so the more notice the better to fit you and your fur fam into my schedule! I have a fenced yard but boarding is decided on a case by case basis as I need to discuss it with my family and ensure my cats would be okay and not stressed out excessively during a boarding. Everyone’s happiness and comfortability is important.

“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”

About: I have an incredible passion for animals that I pursued since I was a child! I’ve looked after animals both personally and professionally for well over 5 years. I was relied on by many neighbours and family friends to take in their loved ones and care for and play with them. I have also been employed professionally at a farm, feeding, cleaning, treating, and raising farm livestock. I aim to live the rest of my life in the animal care field! It is my passion and my speciality. I enjoy all aspect of animal care and can’t wait to meet all the amazing family members you have! I am a student so I have so much free time to play with my furry friends! I am able to go on frequent walks and monitor them everyday. I am at home most of the week so am able to dedicate a lot of effort to caring for all your animals! I have two quiet cats that live with me but are very friendly. Due to this everything even possibly dangerous is put far out of reach. Everyone who lives with me is very careful about hazards and keeping doors closed. We care so very much about the health and happiness of all the animals that we see and take care of.

“Kendra was wonderful! She took the time to learn about our cats and even took the time to come before to meet them and us. We felt comfortable with Kendra and our cats loved her! We would continue to book Kendra for her services. Highly recommend!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, and being around animals has always felt natural to me. While I’ve had experience with many different pets, dogs and cats truly have my heart. I’ve had dogs in the past and absolutely loved the companionship, routine, and joy they bring. Right now, I don’t have a dog because I have a cat at home, which makes me even more excited to care for other people’s dogs and give them the love, attention, and time they deserve. I genuinely miss having a dog around, so taking care of someone else’s feels like such a joy rather than a task. As a current cat parent, I deeply understand how important routine, patience, and trust are. I know how to read body language, respect boundaries, and move at a pet’s pace. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs playtime and walks or a calm cat who just wants quiet company, I adjust my care to each animal’s personality. What sets me apart from other sitters is how personally I take my role. I don’t see pet sitting as just feeding and walking. I see it as building trust and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m gentle, attentive, and very observant, especially with shy pets, senior pets, or animals who need extra reassurance. I may not be a professional trainer, but I’m very patient and consistent, which helps with puppies learning routines and senior pets who need calm, gentle care. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, and I care just as much about their emotional comfort as their physical needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me, and I would be honored to be someone you trust with a member of your family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I already structure my days around caring for my own cat, so feeding times, playtime, cleaning, and check-ins are things I’m used to and consistent with. Adding pet sitting into my routine feels easy and intentional rather than rushed. I’m someone who plans ahead and values routine, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are done on time, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s specific needs and energy levels. I enjoy spending quality time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore. Because I genuinely enjoy being around pets, I’m happy to build my schedule around them and give them the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress free for them. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect the space, and make sure pets stay in their usual environment whenever possible. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure food and water areas are clean, and make sure pets are always supervised appropriately. I pay close attention to behavior changes and will always communicate updates or concerns right away. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe space. I make sure the environment is pet friendly, free of hazards, and suited to their comfort level. Because I have a cat, I am very mindful of slow introductions and only accept pets that are a good fit to ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. I believe trust is built through consistency, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.

“Jessica agreed to meet ahead of time to make sure she was comfortable with my dog Bailey and to learn the tips and tricks of the house. She showed up on time for both walks and sent me lots of pictures of Bailey during the day. I would recommend Jessica”

“Loved having Kirit come and take care of our two kitties! Although they were shy, she made sure to give them a safe & calm environment while we were gone. She kept up with their routine, and they were happy kitties when we got home. Loved the pic updates - everything was very consistent. Will definitely book her again. Thanks Kirit!”

“Clairissa did an excellent job of looking after our cats while we were away for two weeks. She communicated well about how they were doing and sent lots of photos in her daily updates. We would definitely have her look after them again!”

“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!”

“William took great care of my cat George while I was traveling. He always goes the extra mile and George is incredibly comfortable with him. I’d absolutely recommend William as a sitter — he’s reliable and easygoing and really cares about your pet’s experience!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old , I remember how scared I was when I met my first dog , his name was sultan and honestly he was the one who took care of me and after that my love for them just expanded and still every time I see a dog I fall in love them . I work part time so so you can leave your loved one with me at nights or afternoons and for mornings we can figure something out . Note - there will be an additional charge depending on the distance I have to travel to get to your house.(estimate $6-8 for short distances) I work part time , so I am mostly home I usually take a one dog at a time unless your pet is comfortable with other pets. Before we book I prefer doing a meet and greet where we can talk and arrange something that meets your needs. I currently don’t have any pets of my own here , but I have an immense love for animals especially dogs , I live in a townhouse with a back yard where we can play and we can visit the nearby parks or trails if that’s what you want for your loved one .

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. 😊

“Paige helped us out with our senior Pomeranian while we were out of town and she took great care of him. There were many updates and photos so we were not worried at all how he was handling be home alone. She even completed some tasks around the house that we requested which we were so appreciative of. Definitely someone that’s willing to go the extra mile for the pups and their families!”

“Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!”
