Dog Walking Mid-Cambridge

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have walked neighbors' dogs and watched their hamsters, Guinea pigs, and cats since I was 9! I have experience with every type of pet, from puppies to senior cats, and would love to show your animal some love :) I have had the privilege of volunteering with Broken Tail Rescue weekly for over a year, so I am very well-versed in caring for all kinds of cats and dogs. I am a grad student at Harvard University and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available at most reasonable times, just reach out! I will feed, walk, and play with your pets and do other things such as change litter or give meds as needed. I do all of these things with my animals at home!

“Wonderful job! My puppy was a huge fan.”

“Kaitlin was quick to reach out about Pep making some unusual sounds and we were able to troubleshoot it together. I appreciate her being so thoughtful and kind to my pup.”

Polly W.

“Kisses (my pup) is soooo lucky to have a friend like Suzete! Consistently showing up and being present and patient! Helping Kisses grow out of her comfort zone but always making sure she is safe! She comes back after a walk sooo happy and excited! We love Suzete! She’s the absolute best!”

“Tori is so great with my dog Rubin. They developed a strong bond, and she spent time getting to know what Rubin likes and needs. Tori is100% reliable and is popular among other dog owners in Cambridge. I recommend her totally.”

“Rachel was a huge help when I was out of town for the weekend, walking and feeding my girl who has some behavioral issues. She was communicative, kind, and most of all - great with my pup! Thanks for everything and will definitely book again!”

“Savannah takes care of my dog everyday. She is a wonderful and reliable friend for him, takes him to different places to explore Cambridge, and makes him happy. I am so glad I found Savannah and recommend her completely.”

“Stephanie was amazing!! This was our first booking with her and we couldn’t be more happy with our choice! She was so kind and friendly!! She asked questions during the meet and greet to make sure she could give Ellie the most perfect care! Stephanie was so communicative and sent us so many pictures and updates! Thank you Stephanie! If you need a walker for your pup then you should take my recommendation and choose Stephanie!!”

About: Growing up in TX and visiting family in India, I've spent a lot of time with animal friends - dogs, cats, goats, cows, chickens, and sometimes horses and monkeys(!). I've been pet sitting on and off for most of my life. I'm EMT-certified (for humans) and just love creatures and critters of all shapes and sizes. I work part-time and live in Somerville (seasonal assistant coach for the Harvard Women’s Varsity Volleyball team until early December playoffs) and we usually have practices from 4-6pm and run film a few times a week during the day. Some weekends we’re traveling for away games. I’m happy to work out best times to drop by! My sublease doesn’t allow pets, and I don’t love staying in someone’s home overnight when they’re not there for liability and safety reasons, but if you’re in dire straits we can definitely talk about it! I love going on walks and have a ton of energy, so I often feel like the doggos are taking me for a walk. Ha! We can talk about how much exercise they need, and where you prefer I walk them!!

“Stacy has been a lifesaver. We moved to the Boston area with little notice, and our mini poodle needed a dog walker on the days me and my spouse were at the office. Stacy stepped in and has taken excellent walks, and is super communicative and responsive. Our pooch and we are super happy with Stacy's service.”

Heather B.

“Emily is a fantastic, wonderfully caring dog walker / pet care taker. We use her services for daily weekday walks for both of our dogs which have very different needs ( a 14 yr old golden doodle with mobility issues and a 10 yr old lab that still thinks she's 3 yr old spring chicken). She has also house sat over a navigation for us so that they didn't have to go into a kennel. She is trustworthy, communicative and extremely kind. You'd be fortunate to have her services.”

Craig M.

“Jacqueline was great with our dog River. She really put on the miles to exercise our active girl. She was prompt and capable. She skillfully handled a slight collar malfunction and delivered home a happy tired dog. We’ll definitely rebook with Jacqueline!”

About: I have tons of pet sitting experience, while I was applying for graduate school it was a main source of income. I often would stay in people’s homes taking care of up to three dogs at once, had numerous household where I fed and played with cats and even small kittens. I also spent time nannying the sweetest two year old for 7 months until I had to move (children and pets aren’t quite the same, but also they are both family). I even managed to keep an eye out for the two-year-olds two Siamese cats. I am eagerly waiting to have my own pet but am waiting for more stability in my life so I like to find other ways to be around animals until then. I am a current grad student, I have class on Monday morning, Tuesday evening, all day Thursday and Friday mornings! I have a lot of time free on weekends/my schedule is very adaptable since I just have to go into my art studio to get work done. I live in a small apartment, but could host pets for a day! I have a lot of dog and cat sitting experience, and am extremely communicative/available

“Eleanor was great! Our dog Fender can be a bit shy but he took to her right away. Looking forward to having her visit Fender again in future.”

“William was wonderful to work with! He was communicative and took great care of my dog. I really appreciated him and would gladly work with him again anytime!!”

About: I have tried to live life around as many animals as possible. Grew up with dogs and cats and now am a proud cat dad. I pride myself on being punctual, responsible, and caring. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for years. Being a Rover customer has encouraged me to be the best possible sitter, walker, visitor that I could be. I respect people's boundaries and animal's boundaries as well. I would prefer to meet you and your pet before we confirm sitting or visits just to make sure everyone is comfortable(especially your pets!). I am currently working part time and have lots of available time to walk, sit, and visit your cats or dogs. I can do multiple visits per days in Somerville if need be. I would prefer to take time to meet you and your pets before booking. I fully understand the concerns of having people in your home and treat spaces like I would want my home treated. I'm happy to clean litter boxes per directions and would always put things (food, leashes, toys, etc..) back in their place as directed. if you were to be out of town and asked me to retrieve mail, monitor lights and other utilities I would do that to the best of my abilities as well. As someone who has had Rover sitters come visit my cat Pepper I appreciate that extra effort that many of them have put forth. I would also be happy to communicate all visits through the app or phones with pictures and quick updates.

“Victoria was so wonderful to work with! She was quick to respond and took great care of my dog. I would book with her anytime!!! Highly recommend.”

About: I was a long time pet parent for over 20 years. I've lived in the East Cambridge area for over 3 years and know all the best spots for walks. I stay home most of the day, so I can keep a close eye on your pet. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm available most days from morning to late afternoon. I'm happy to work with you to find a time that works best for everyone. I was previously a realtor assistant and have 10+ years of experience entering other's homes, respecting privacy, and making sure to securely lock the entryways before leaving.

“Holly was so wonderful with Luther; I was a little worried about going on a long trip but at our meet-and-greet we had ample time to talk and she even gave me some advice about some unrelated dog stuff I have been thinking about. I really appreciated all her care and I could tell Luther was so happy to spend time with her out in the sun. Thank you, Holly!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My family has always had a family dog. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I am very attentive to a dog’s needs and wants. I just graduated from an occupational therapy graduate program. I am in the process of applying and interviewing for jobs, which leaves my schedule quite flexible. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. If I were to be in your home, I will leave it just as/nicer than I found it and your pup will even be happier. I understand that it takes a lot of trust to allow someone into their home and to take care of a loved one, and I will do everything in my power to keep that trust safe and build from it.
