“Raylene did a wonderful job of house sitting and taking care of my cat while I was away. My cat is very sensitive emotionally, but Raylene's kindness and care meant that he warmed up to her and started following her around, asking for strokes and TLC. Raylene was also extremely conscientious about not letting my cat out and following the very detailed instructions I had left for her. She has five kitties of her own - all rescues - that she is bringing up with loving care. Raylene is totally responsible and reliable, and she was a loving companion to my kitty while I was gone. I'll be hiring her again when I'm next out of town! Kathryn”

She sends detailed updates and photos. I highly recommend Natalia!!!!⭐️🩷😁”

About: I've been a pet owner for over 12 years and have raised a range of companions from small animals and fish to my ball python, Moo, and my quartet of cats, Goober, Bjorn, Natasha, and Moo! I have experience administering oral medication and performing tasks including baths, nail trimming, eye drops, and ear cleaning. When I'm not cuddling with my babies, I'm probably drawing them instead. I'm an artist in the animation industry and animals are often my favourite subject to paint. I probably won't be able to resist drawing your pet(s) too! <3 I am a freelance artist working from home so my schedule is very flexible! For housesitting, I'll often squeeze in some drawing time when we're just chillaxing at home. I like to be with company so I'll rarely stray too far away from your pet! I like quietly sitting together and building trust with gentle play and talk. I try not to pick up cats unless necessary, especially if they're skittish. Dog walks will always be done leashed and on safe property like parks and non-congested areas. I can crate dogs and am comfortable moving them into separate rooms if needed.

About: As a dedicated dog babysitter, I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I ensure your dog's routine remains consistent, minimizing stress while you’re away. I update pet parents with daily photos and notes about their furry friend's activities and well-being. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as I prioritize flexibility and consistency. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, ensuring your pet gets attention when needed. I offer overnight sitting to keep your pet comfortable and secure in their home if needed. I ensure a safe, clean, and welcoming environment when caring for pets in your home. I stick to feeding, walking, and play schedules as instructed. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected to your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy in any environment

“Dorothy did an excellent job caring for Lulu in my home! I'm very happy to provide a high recommendation for her - she is an extremely nice lady and it's obvious she loves dogs. My house was immaculate when I came back and my dog well cared for. Will definitely use her again.”


About: I have taken care of animals for about 15 years of my life, ever since I was a child I have cared for animals. I constantly give full attention to animals as if they were my own! My own family has relied on me to care, train and feed the dogs within our family. I wish to give the same love and attention to your pets as I do to mine. I currently work a full time job working with all animals, but I am looking to have another part time job that I enjoy. I believe that taking care of other animals would be fantastic! I have a fenced in yard at my own home, but I have grown up in farm areas where dogs are free roaming! I take my dogs for daily walks and feed them their expected meals to keep them healthy.


About: Years of caring for my own dogs and cats, plus hands-on farm experience, give me a calm, confident approach with pets of all kinds :) I work part-time with a flexible schedule and have summers off, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets :) I create a pet-safe space by removing hazards, supervising closely, following routines, and ensuring a calm, clean environment in both my home and clients’ homes.

About: I've take care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I have been dog and cat sitting professionally since 2016. I have taken care of puppies, kittens, birds, cats , as well as old dogs. My dog, Copper, is great companion and is always up for playing but unfortunately he wont join if I'm house sitting. I take dogs for a walk 2-3 times a day, and prefer to keep them outside of the crate. If your dog doesnt like sleeping alone, dont worry I carry a sleeping bag. I have a fenced backyard and a very friendly puppy to give your dog further company, and exhaust them. I like to keep animal as calm as possible even if it requires 4 walks, or accompany them while sleeping

About: I’ve always believed that children and animals are good judges of character, and both have always gravitated to my warm and calming presence. I have an energetic 3 year old cat named Garfield, who I’ve had since he was 10 weeks old, and I frequently look after my neighbours dog (Rosie) who is an energetic 5 year old border-collie cross, who we affectionately call my "Part-time dog." Before you choose me to look after your fur babies, I can come to your home (free of charge) to meet your animals and for you to determine whether I am a good fit. I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, and can be trusted to provide excellent care. I am responsible, reliable, and will try to show the same love that you give to your pets. I have returned to school full-time to pursue my Master of Social Work & I work part-time in social services. I can look after your pet around my school & work schedule (Typically after 6 pm during the week, with more flexibility on weekends). I live in the downtown Cambridge area, and am available for dog walking, overnight pet-sitting, and checking in on your fur babies. Depending upon the breed of animal, I can provide frequent dog walking (short or long walks), visits with your cat or dog, and can provide overnight pet-sitting. I am responsible, caring & diligent, and will provide a high level of care, following your instructions closely for how to best care for your pet.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters/walkers is my hands-on, professional experience working with dogs of all ages and temperaments and my Canine CPR certification. I’ve cared for large groups of up to 75 dogs in daycare settings, gaining extensive experience with feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, crating, and administering medications. I also worked in the Pet Care department at PetSmart, where I further developed my skills in animal care and handling. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs at once, even those with very different personalities. I have experience caring for senior dogs with extra needs, as well as helping train young puppies through positive reinforcement and consistency. Beyond my professional background, I’ve grown up in a dog-loving family with two black labs at home—and nine in total when the whole family is together. Managing and understanding dogs comes naturally to me, and I bring calm, capable, and compassionate care to every visit. Typically my availability is quite open and I’m generally free. Send me a message to enquire more about my availability, I’d love to chat with you! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, structure, and personalized attention. I take time to understand each pet’s unique routine, temperament, and needs, and I adapt my care to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My professional background—including experience in doggie daycare, the Pet Care department at PetSmart, and hands-on care for senior dogs and young puppies—has prepared me to handle everything from medication schedules and crate training to managing dogs with different energy levels or personalities. I also offer reliable, enriching walking services tailored to each dog’s pace and preferences. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or rest, I aim to keep your dog’s day familiar and stress-free. I make sure to keep communication open with pet parents, providing updates, photos and peace of mind while you’re away.
