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!

“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!”

“Kristina was wonderful and so patient with our rescue pup, Mia! Mia can be cautious and afraid of new people so it was nice to have Kristina be so patient with her (and me) about the situation. Mia opened up to her during her stay, and was even sitting on her lap! Kristina was also incredibly considerate of our home and left everything even cleaner than it had been. We were traveling internationally so her constant communication with us was so reassuring and helpful! Thank you Kristina!”

Evelyn M.

“Tam was amazing! He got constant updates and photos. She was thoughtful and considerate at every single turn. We also really appreciated her honesty and ability to ask questions!”

“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.”

Adriana S.

“Maddy was so amazing! She sent multiple updates a day with pictures, and our kitten was clearly incredibly well taken care of and happy. She left our place clean and just like we left it. We’d absolutely book with her again. Thank you again :)”

Sara B.

“I wish I could give 10 stars… I hate being away from my little princess Macy. Even though she’s a cat I know she misses me too. It was great knowing she was in really good hands with Maisel and getting pictures and videos every day. Definitely will book her again!!”

Karen M.

“Matisse was able to help out with my golden retriever puppy on late notice & he had such a wonderful time. I came home to a spotless apartment & an extremely happy dog :) would definitely love to have her again!”

Emma D.

“Marcus was amazing - provided a ton of updates and pictures so we knew our dogs and cat were in good hands. Definitely will book Marcus again when we need someone to stay with the dogs.”

Jennifer W.

“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”

Paige W.

“Alicia did a wonderful job caring for our shy, but sweet boy (cat) and our home. She was great about checking in, sending pics and communicating with me throughout the time she stayed. And she left our house spotless. I’d happily ask her to sit for us again and recommend her to others looking for a responsible, caring sitter for their pets.”

Deirdre P.

“GREAT dog sitter!! Reliable, punctual. Even coordinated a minor emergency vet visit after noticing our dig was shaking his head alot. Turns out he had an ear infection! She started him on drops and now he is comfortable and happy. Would definitely recommend.”

“Rachael took great care of our house and dog Lyka for a long weekend. Lyka is looking forward to seeing Rachael again for a longer stay in October!”

“Sydney watched my girls for two weeks and had to deal with an unexpected leak in the apartment while I was gone. She was incredibly professional and had a great attitude, and helped mitigate the issue and took great care of my pets. I would highly recommend her as an in-home sitter!”

“Caitlin has watched our pups several times and she always goes above and beyond to help out and make sure they are taken care of. A hug bonus is coming back to a clean house just as I left it :)”

Olivia C.

“We’ve had Alice dog sit a few times - she is absolutely lovely, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond always. She sends lots of updates and is extremely respectful of our space when she stays over. We always are comfortable going away when Alice is watching Brewer!”
