“Samantha was great with our cat - Cassie, very communicative and friendly! We got a lot of pictures of Cassie and she looks so happy with Samantha 😄 10/10 would recommend and reach out again for our pet sitting needs.”


“Stephanie took great care of the cats, making sure they got their food and medicine and even cleaned up after they decided to misbehave 😶. She sent daily photos and updates, will reach out to her in the future!”


“Sophia was amazing! My shy elderly cat really warmed up to her. There was a slight emergency that happened while I was gone and she did a great job communicating what was happening and keeping me up to date. My flight home was delayed and she was able to take on an extra half day. Sophia really cares about your animals safety and wellbeing and I am so grateful for her! My cat is usually hesistant around new people but she really seemed to have a special touch”


“Yaxi did a great job with my two cats. One is very prone to becoming overstressed during extended trips of mine but I came home to a cheerful and relaxed kitten-at-heart thanks to Yaxi!”


“Katherine took great care of my two cats. They quickly became very affectionate with her. She was great on communication and flexible with arrangements. I would trust my cats with her anytime!”


“Amanda was thoughtful and delightful to work with for drop-in care. Our puppy Rosie just had surgery, so had to restrict her activities and be carried up/downstairs. Amanda followed Rosie's post surgery care instructions and kept Rosie calm and happy. We loved the picture updates. Amanda patiently sat outside with Rosie to get fresh air. Amanda was always on time and very flexible for last minute changes. Would definitely recommend Amanda.”


“So wonderful to have met Lynne! She was great with my anxious dogs and I appreciated that she did the meet and greet and got to know them ahead of time! They currently can't be at home alone and so it was great peace of mind to be able to leave them with her. We'll definitely be booking again. Thank you Lynne!”


“Sean was friendly and professional and responded quickly to my messages. He showed up for check-ins when he was supposed to, provided detailed reports, and plenty of photos.”


“This is my 2nd time booking with Elise. She goes above and beyond when it comes to providing details about your pet’s visit. Highly recommend to other pet owners!!”


“Mishkat took great care of our two kitties while we were away! She was very communicative and send lots of photos and updates on the kitties!”


“Was a lifesaver when I needed a last minute cat sitter! Would definitely book again!”


About: With my fiancé I own a mini dachshund, Rosie! I grew up with cats, and have loved both cats and dogs my whole life. Already a sitter for family and friends, and now you! For daycare/boarding, Rosie will be here at my home, so if your dog loves making friends we are a perfect match. Happy to have a meetup prior as well to have our pups meet. I work full time during the week, am available for some evenings/overnights on weekdays. Weekends I am more flexible for walks and drop ins in Cambridge/Somerville. I have an apartment with a couple of nice parks nearby and quiet streets for walks. Rosie also lives here (2-year-old mini dachshund), so your dog must be comfortable with small dogs (and Rosie loves making friends). Apartment best suited for small/medium dogs.

“Kayala was awesome pet sitting my cat. She sent photos everyday and a small summary. Listened well to all directions. Would def book her again 🤗”


About: I'm very patient and quite athletic/active -- no worries about a stubborn one, and I'll always try to match the energy! I'm good at conflict management between animals as well. I go on a daily morning walk (up to 6 miles) and walks throughout the day/evening. Most of my work can be done remotely, too! Communication is a keystone for me! I will always follow any and all guidelines that you tell me regarding how to care for your pet, as you know them best.

“Leigh is reliable, very conscientious and thoughtful. My cat is shy and skittish and she understands how to approach her and make her feel comfortable.”


“Victoria was great and pup was instantly friends!”


“Ghadeer is friendly, responsive and took amazing care of our 3 cats while we were away. They warmed right up to her when meeting her and we had a relaxed time away knowing they were in such good hands.”


About: Independently insured! I've cared for my family pets since I was a little kid! From puppy training and housebreaking to calming senior dogs and changing doggy diapers - I've seen it all. Your pets are in great hands with me! I have a very flexible laboratory job in Somerville - I can pop in and out of work when I need to to help out your pet when you need it! I'll happily drop in to feed/water/play with your pet, administer any medication, and take them for a walk! I have no pets of my own at the moment so I'd be thrilled to spend some time with your pets!

“Cam has taken care of my German Shepard willow multiple times. It was clear he connected with my pup immediately when they first met. He meticulously asked about her care regimen, my preferences around how she gets handled, and left me feeling super confident.

She is incredibly sweet, caring, and kind, and her loves all animals. I've witnessed firsthand her gentle approach with pets, which puts both animals and their owners at ease. Beyond her wonderful demeanor, Yunge is also remarkably responsible and reliable. When she's caring for an animal, I have complete peace of mind knowing that they are in the best possible hands. Any pet would be lucky to have Yunge looking after them.”
