Highlights
Pet care experience
For happy pets & your peace of mind
I have been a pet sitter in the Boston/Cambridge area for the past 3 years with experience working with cats and dogs. I largely work with cats and dogs that might need a little extra attention. Does your furry friend need medicine 3 times a day? I do that. Does your dog have leash aggression or very specific likes and dislikes? I’ve dealt with that too. Separation anxiety? Check! Senior dogs struggling with incontinence? I’m here to help.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I offer pet sitting in my client’s home to keep pets in the environment they feel safest. Before pet sitting for the first time, I will always ask that we meet, take a walk or have a chat with your fur baby present so that we confirm it’s a good fit for everyone. I’m here to learn from you, not run in as an expert or an uncaring sitter.
Ratings and reviews
Ilse was so great with my beagle Casey, I can tell Casey had a great time! Ilse was very communicative and kept me updated, making my trip very easy for me and taking great care of Casey and my house! Thank you so much!
Isle was great with our cat! She was very kind, thoughtful and communicative during her stay. We came home to a happy kitty and a clean home. All directions were followed. Would recommend to others. Thank you, Ilse!
Ilse was amazing I will definitely be booking her to stay with my cat Lentil again!! Lentil was so well cared for and loved hanging with Ilse- when i got back Lentil didn't even seem to notice I had been gone! Thank you Ilse!!
Ilse did a fantastic job with Olive! She took such great care of her and provided timely updates and pictures. Would love to have her watch Olive again!
Ilse was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious dog while I was out of town. She handled my dog's reactivity well and gave her lots of care and attention. Ilse was communicative and flexible and I highly recommend their services. I will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!
Ilse did a great job taking care of Oliver and communicating with us. We highly recommend!

Schedule
Currently, I offer house sitting (taking out trash, plant care, etc), drop ins, pet sitting (2-3 walks, medicine if applicable, feeding, play time), pet walks, and feeding. I can sometimes accommodate last minute bookings and am available most holidays, evenings and weekends. I love pets and will often spend a little extra time with them if you're worried about them being left alone.
