House Sitting In East Cambridge

“Alyssa watched our young husky for the day while we were at work and did a great job! She kept us updated, kept him occupied, took him out often since he’s still potty training, and gave him a nice long walk. It was incredibly reassuring knowing he was being well cared for”

“Alice is the absolute best- she went far and above our expectations when she stayed in our apartment with our pitty mix Marshall. She sent pictures from every walk she gave him and from their cuddles on the couch- it really helped put our minds at ease that Marshall was safe, taken care of, and was having fun while we were on vacation. In addition to caring for Marshall, Alice washed, dried, AND folded the dirty laundry we left in the washer. She also completely washed, dried, and folded the towels and bedding she used. She even made the bed with the clean sheets! We didn't expect that from her, but it really eased our return to normal life- not having to wash the bedding and make the bed. She left a handwritten note detailing her weekend with Marshall and how much fun they had together. We will definitely work with Alice again!”

About: Hello! My name is Kayala, and I am a college student from Somerville, Massachusetts. I have been cat sitting for the past seven years and have had cats and bunnies my entire life. I have multiple regular cat sitting clients in the Somerville, Cambridge, Boston area that I have maintained through the years. I am a friendly and trustworthy person, and I make sure to treat pets with respect and love while also taking care of all of their needs. I have a cat in Somerville named Violet, and a bunny named Loretta who stays with me in my dorm during the school year. I'm known for loving my pets more than anything, and have tattoos for both of them! They are my girls, and my most divine companions. I deeply understand the strength of the bond between you and your kitties <3. I know it can be stressful to leave your kitties in the care of a stranger, but I make sure to send photos and updates! I am also happy to meet with you in person, learn about any special care instructions and preferences, and make sure you and your kitties are comfortable. I am an excellent pet snuggler (known for making cats, dogs, goats, and pigs fall asleep in my arms!), but am also always very aware of an animal's body language. It is so important to respect their boundaries! I have experience giving oral medication, inhalers, critical care (liquid food for rabbits), and subcutaneous injections. I am in Somerville for holidays and school breaks (summer and winter), where pet care is a prioritized commitment for me. I take same day bookings, as long as I am in town! I have extensive experience with cat sitting and have been running my "business" independently for the past seven years in the Boston area. I am the sole caregiver for my bunny, Loretta, and have had bunnies and cats my entire life. When I stop by for my visits, I give attention for a minimum of 25 minutes and meet them where they are. If they want to cuddle, I am open arms! If they want to play, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. If they are scared of my new presence, I will sit thoughtfully and move at their pace to make them as comfortable as possible. I always send photos and updates to pet parents when I see their babies!

“Marcus was wonderful with my GSD Izzy! She took to him immediately and he showered her with attention to her unabashed delight. He was prompt, reliable and responsive.”

“Kora did a great job taking care of my energetic Irish Doodle in my home. She sent updates and helped out when he wasn’t feeling well. I appreciated her quick responses!”

Alana N.

“Arshneel was awesome! She made my first experience with Rover comfortable and easy. She sent me photos throughout the day and communicated very well. I will definitely be calling her again when I need the help.”

Erin M.

“Maisel is a fantastic sitter. My pup Charlie has a lot of anxiety and I am always nervous leaving him with someone new. Every picture I got Charlie was smiling - Maisel was great at communicating with me and gave me peace of mind that Charlie was well taken care of. She was extremely respectful of my home and left it spotless. I am so grateful she was able to help and will definitely be asking her to dog sit again!”

“Jamie is an absolute lifesaver. She watches Maui most days while I’m at work, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my dog. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely loves her, which shows in how happy and relaxed Maui is around her. She was even able to cut Mauis nails and brush her teeth which is literally a miracle considering Maui doesn’t allow anyone to do it (including me). Knowing Maui is cared for by someone so responsible and kind gives me total peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful to have her as both a roommate and someone Maui adores.”

Gabriela C.

“Amy is just a wonderful dog sitter, she was taking care of our dog, who can be quite demanding emotionally, for almost one week. When Amy came to meet us, our dog was staying next to her the whole time, very comfortable and happy to be petted by her. Amy was sending regular videos showing our dog obviously feeling relaxed and cheerful with her. She is very responsive, communication is very easy. I really cannot imagine a better person to take care of our dog. Thank you so much!”

About: I have experience sitting for a variety of dogs and cats, and have developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness when it comes to pet care. I’m comfortable following specific routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering basic care, and I always make sure pets are safe and comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, so I can adjust to their energy level whether they love long walks and playtime or prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I look forward to creating a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! I recently graduated from Northeastern University, and now I am working part time at a physical therapy clinic. From May through the end of July, I am fully available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I work part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; however, I am available for walks after 3:30 PM on Fridays! Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I am committed to providing consistent attention, exercise, and reliable care for your pets! I will also be attending physical therapy school in the fall, and I am using Rover as a way to help support my graduate education while continuing to do something I love: Caring for animals! I always prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in any environment. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, such as feeding routines, walk routes, medication (if needed), or any other specific preferences your pet has. For walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay aware of our surroundings to keep them safe. I adjust the pace and length of walks based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs to ensure they stay comfortable. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets get not only the essentials like food, water, and bathroom breaks, but also attention, playtime, and companionship. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can create a calm, positive experience. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Ilse was wonderful watching our pets - particularly our anxious dog - over Fourth of July weekend. Super communicative and comfortable giving our pup meds. Even noticed our plants were getting scorched in the heat and needed some refreshment! Will definitely inept be calling her in the future.”

“Miliana is our go-to sitter for our pup. Another excellent experience! It’s great coming home to a safe, happy, well cared for pet after a trip.”
