“Cameron dropped in 3 times while we were away for the weekend to feed our cats and give them a little attention. On time, super responsive and communicative. Very dependable!”
“Amanda was amazing!! All updates were thorough and she took so many good pictures, she spent lots of time playing and cuddling with our cat, who clearly loved her too :) highly recommend!!!”
“This was our second time booking with Gabi and just like last time, she took such great care of our girls! She was so mindful about making them as comfortable as possible that when one of my cats was feeling a bit shy, Gabi gave her a treat to reintroduce herself. Love the thoughtful and carefulness that Gabi has when checking in on my cats. Will be my go-to sitter from now on!!”
“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!”
“Elena always takes excellent care of Kitten! This time I had a last minute cancellation and she was able to step in for a few days which was an enormous relief. She's so easy to communicate with, and fantastic at what she does. Truly grateful that my cat had such great care. :)”
“Abby was great with Merlin! She’s incredibly responsive and sent the best playtime pics. Will definitely be reaching out in the future since we’re neighbors too :).”
“Weiwei took excellent care of our three cats. She was reliable and easy to coordinate with, and every visit she would send a ton of photos of her playing with the cats. It was very nice getting to see those photos while we were away. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“Lily was fantastic—truly dependable! She even brought a new toy for Peanut to play with. Her check-in reviews were super thorough. When Peanut knocked some stuff off the counter, Lily immediately notified me and removed the items from the floor. She also intuitively cleared other items from the counter just in case. I trust her with my little Peanut 100% and highly recommend her to check in on your fur babies too.”
“Sara was fantastic! Our old man cat clearly felt comfortable around her from the first meet and greet, and she kept us updated with amazing photos and details, going above and beyond to play with him and brush him in addition to the basic necessities, which was so nice!”
“Stacy took great care of our senior cat while we were away! We appreciated that she accommodated our fairly last minute request to watch our cat, even though we were new to her. She was super communicative and quick to respond, leaving informative notes on how our cat was doing, and followed all instructions to a T. We appreciated the peace of mind knowing our cat was well cared for while we were away!”
“Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!”
“Nate has been awesome with our dog, Sadie. She can be fearful, but it was very clear at the first meeting that she was comfortable with him right away. He’s very attentive and communicative - sends pictures and videos during his visit, which we love. We will be continuing to have him watch Sadie on a regular basis and occasionally day care and overnights!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around big dogs and am happy to take care of any breed and temperament. My friends and family have trusted me to pet sit countless times. This has included everything from pop in visits for Bernie the St. Bernard, five mile hikes with Phish the collie, and week long stays with Jaco the boxer. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs and look forward to meeting your pup! I work fully remote in Cambridge so my weekday schedule is relatively flexible. I’m available for walks/drop-ins from 7am-9am, again in the afternoon from 12pm-1pm, and in the evening from 4pm-9pm. I’m not available on the weekends. I’ll always be sure to sure to enter your home with a calm and respectful demeanor, making sure your dog feels comfortable. I’m very experienced walking large dogs and am confident in my ability to keep any dog happy and safe while walking. This includes reading a dogs body language to know when to remove your dog from an unsafe situation.
“Thomas provided excellent care for our cat and home! We are so grateful for you Thomas! I would recommend him to anyone that was seeking an attentive and considerate pet caregiver. We would love to have you care for Elvie again!”
“Eleanor is great! Lister needed some drop in visits and warmed up to her pretty quick. She even took him for a walk around the block and was quite intuitive about when Lister was in a mood to walk and when not. Great communication! Would definitely book again”
About: I’ve had my own dog since I was young and have professional cared for dogs since I was 16. I absolutely love being around dogs, and I’m always down to play fetch or go for walks. Neighbors and family members have relied on me as a responsible, attentive caregiver. My schedule is really flexible. I’m comfortable staying overnight, and can work on a long-term or short-term schedule. I work remote, so I will be able to hang out with your pets all day. I am very respectful of my client’s space. I typically request a visit with a client before a job to go over all the info beforehand, and then I treat your home as if it were my own - keeping it clean, hanging out with pups.

I am so so grateful for Alyssa! She was able to watch my two cats for what was a pretty last minute trip. She was super timely, always very responsive, and took a ton of pictures with each check in. My cats loved her and clearly felt very calm and cared for while i was gone. She also left great updates and i felt so reassured. Couldn’t recommend her more - she is great with cats and i assume all other animals too :) thank you Alyssa!!
Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and everything was perfect. We truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Nathan took great care of our two cats during a two-week trip, and we would happily book him again. He was reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, and he sent regular check-ins that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. During each visit, he handled everything we needed — feeding, checking the litter, playing with the cats, making sure they were happy and comfortable, and even tidying up a small mess one of them made — all without any fuss. We also appreciated his patient help when our Litter Robot got a little finicky mid-trip. Overall, Nathan was thoughtful, dependable, and clearly cared about making sure our cats were well looked after. We were all very glad to have his care.
The best of the best!! Mary Kate loves Betty like her own and it’s evident in her care for her. I also had a small issue with something in my apartment and Mary Kate was communicative, flexible, and a HUGE HELP to get it resolved!! Thank you so so so much as always :)
We feel so fortunate to have found Nick! Literally the day after our meet and greet, we learned we needed to travel out of town for a family funeral. Nick accepted the drop-in sitting job on short notice, came when he said he would, followed all our cat care instructions and gave our boys some quality time consistent with their individual needs. It took away some of the stress associated with that unplanned trip, and now I'm not so anxious about our future travel plans! Thank you, Nick!!
Isabel was an incredible sitter for our special needs cat, Maeby. Maeby is diabetic and needs to be on a strict feeding/insulin shot schedule and Isabel handled everything perfectly. This was the first time we have had to be away from our cat since her diabetes diagnosis so we were quite nervous about the whole thing but after meeting Isabel and getting her check-in updates, we definitely felt much more relaxed and comfortable knowing Maeby was in great hands. I highly recommend Isabel and will 100% invite her back to take care of Maeby in the future.
