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!

“Kristina is absolutely amazing. Truly. She stayed with my adult husky in my condo, and was just fantastic. Amazing updates, super kind and thoughtful. Highly recommended! Thank you, Kristina!!”

“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.

“Amy was truly wonderful! She watched my notoriously anxious and stubborn 3-year-old Aussie, Maggie, for a weekend and handled her with so much patience and care. She exudes kindness and was extremely attentive to Maggie’s needs. It’s clear Amy genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and takes the time to understand their individual personalities. Amy was incredibly communicative (& sent photos!) and reliable from the moment I messaged her, and I always felt fully informed and at ease while she was caring for Maggie. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter — Maggie and I can’t wait to book with her again!”

“Tam was very communicative while we were away for four days. The pets (one dog and two cats) were very well cared for and our house was just as we left it.”

Kelly D.

“She was excellent! We were extremely nervous getting a total stranger house sit and pet sit our anxious, pulling dog and our senior cat but it was immediately clear that they were both in the best of hands. They were both on their best behavior for her and arshneel was so responsive and responsible and really went above and beyond when our flight was delayed. Will definitely seek her out again if we need a pet sitter”

Jenny Y.

“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.

“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.

“Angie is the best ever!! Not only is she amazing with my puppy, but she also takes the best care of my space and I come home to a well taken care of pup and a spotless apartment! She also constantly keeps me updated throughout her stay which is amazing :)”

Julia H.

“Rachael was so great with my dog! She updated me with pictures and made sure to give lots of love to dog. Very happy with the way the home was left too everything was spotless!”

Yana K.

“Matisse did an excellent job. She kept me informed on how the pups were doing and was patient with my really shy one. The house was in perfect shape when I got home and she even cleaned the sheets. I would absolutely book her again.”

Match B.

“This was my first time using Rover and I have a newly adopted anxious rescue so I was super stressed about it, but Alice took great care of my dog and sent many updates. Alice was patient and understanding with my dog and gave her the space to warm up.”

Scarlett C.

“Alivia was a super communicative and kind easy to work with sitter. From walking through the care instructions for my senior dog, to daily updates on how he was doing, I felt like he was in safe hands and could enjoy my time away. Definitely recommend working with her!”

Marcela M.

“Another great experience with Miliana. She took excellent care of my dog. She is responsible, communicative and my dog loves their time together!”

Emily D.

“Stephanie was brilliant. She was so trustworthy and caring towards our 3 dogs. One is very sensitive and it was not an easy job. Our dogs were sleeping with her, even though I’d never have expected it. The dogs prefer it. She was so tolerant and diligent. She also communicated with me the entire time. She is fantastic and I give her the highest recommendation.”

About: I’ve been dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was in elementary school. I was always the friend who was excited to take everyone’s dog on a walk, even when they were dreading it! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with feeding, basic medications, long walks, playtime, and keeping routines consistent while owners are away. I’m a dependable, super active animal lover with just under 11 years of experience caring for dogs (walking, pet sitting, drop-ins, overnight stays). I grew up around dogs and helped raise and train my family’s 6-year-old Golden Retriever, Bear, who is the most perfect pooch in the world!! I’d love to help keep your pup active, cared for, and loved whenever you need an extra hand :) I’m currently studying for the LSAT and working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and love using my free time to stay active. Dog walking and pet care fit really naturally into my routine since I already enjoy getting outside for long walks and being around animals. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine, comfort level, and personality. I always make sure pets are fed, walked, loved, and kept safe, whether I’m at my home or a client’s. I’m comfortable following specific instructions, giving basic medications, and keeping owners updated so they know their pup is in good hands.

“She did such a great job watching my labradoodle over the weekend!!! Sent so many updates, took care of his tricky med situation!! My dog loves her.”

“I had a phenomenal experience leveraging Stacy for house and pet sitting. I knew from our first meet and greet she would be wonderful and she was! Stacy was thorough, patient, kind and organized. I look forward to using her services again.”
