“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”
“Ricky helped me out last minute when I threw out my back by walking my energetic goldendoodle multiple mornings in a row. He was timely, easygoing, and flexible and pup was excited every time he came to the door!”
“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! My name’s Misa and I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Once my family got our first dog when I was 8 years old, we were inseparable. She was my partner in crime~ Now I have a cat of my own and he owns my heart! He’s pretty food motivated so I clicker trained him, and he knows about 10 tricks :D He also has some health issues so I’m familiar with giving cats medication. I recently graduated with my master’s from the UR and I’m still in the process of looking for a job. Which means my schedule is super flexible to hang out with your pet! I’m detail oriented, reliable, and respectful of your space and your pets~ I'm currently on the job hunt after finishing my master's degree so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate drop-ins in the morning or afternoon as well as the evening~ I'll do my best to adhere to your pet's normal routine and of course be respectful of their boundaries. I'll follow any instructions given and reach out if any further clarification is needed!
About: I have been providing dog and cat care for friends and family over 30 years. I am very attentive to animal emotional and physical needs. I am currently unemployed and available at any time with reasonable advanced notice. I can do overnight or day sitting as well as potty break/walking visits. I have plenty of outdoor space to take pets on leashed walks. I also enjoy taking dogs on nature hikes with difficulty based on age and ability.
“Jacqueline is very professional and takes great care of my dogs! She’s always on time and very responsive. She takes care of the house and makes sure to wipe paws from the snow or rain. Definitely recommend her services if you need a reliable walker/sitter!”
About: From high-energy pups to more anxious or reserved dogs, I have the skills and experience to take care of all of your pups needs! I love every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I'm a grad student with night classes coming up part-time this fall, meaning I have lots of time during the day to take care of your pet! When I care for pets in their own home, I cater to their needs - whether that's giving lots of attention, playtime, or snuggles. I'm always careful to respect household rules and keep everything clean and safe. I'll also keep you updated on a regular basis, and make sure to send lots of pictures while you're away!
“Geoff was very responsive in booking up the walks, came for a nice meet and greet and then was great with communicating and completing the dog walks as scheduled. We will definitely contact him again if the need arises. Thanks, Geoff!!”
“Barbara has been a blessing to me and my golden retriever. My mom passed away about a month ago and she watched over the dog while I was at work so I was in a situation where if I couldn’t create a life for my dog during the hours I’m away from home I would have to think of giving her up and that would have been devastating. Barbara agreed to come out twice a day to take care of Cassidy and she has been the most dependable, caring, and compassionate person to my beloved dog. She was so patient with Cassidy, she was going through a big adjustment with the loss of my mom. Barbara truly spent a lot of time establishing a bond with her and slowly they have developed a nice routine of playing in the backyard. They relax in the sun, play ball and with all her toys. I am very thankful to Barbara for the dependability, her caring nature and the smile on my dog each day I come home let’s me know I chose the right service and the perfect person to care after my dog. Thank you Barbara!”
About: I come from a family who has always had multiple pets at a time, with anywhere from 3 to 10 foster dogs under our care at any given time! I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs from smaller poodles and Shih tzus to much larger retrievers, border collies, and German shepherds. I have experience with cats as well, but much more lengthy experience taking care of dogs of different sizes and temperaments :) I am taking a break from work before starting grad school so I am pretty available this spring/summer outside of traveling every now and then to walk pets and house sit! I love taking long walks around Cambridge after work and would love to bring someone along with me :) I live on a residential campus so am unable to have a full time pet, I though I am eager and willing to board them short term and/or house sit to take care of your pets!
“Anna did such a great job walking our dog Ferbie. She sent updates and pictures during the walk which we really appreciated. She also followed the instructions we left very well. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I helped raise several puppies including one who I fostered before she became a seeing eye dog. I have also assisted in training my partner's service dog. I focus primarily on house sitting for folks with cats. I am open to other jobs sometimes. Regardless of the species or amount of time, your furry friend will be happy and healthy and my capable hands. I take careful notes about you animal's routine and needs before they are in my care. Skills for behavioral and emotional regulation are built into the way i interact with dogs. Cats and i just vibe. Even skittish cats tend to warm up to me in few days and we always have a nice time together.
