Highlights
Pet care experience
Somerville Cat, Dog, and Pet Care!
I am a recent Simmons School of Library and Information Science graduate, work part time at a library the afternoons, and have been a part of the Somerville (Union Sq.) community since 2023. I've been walking dogs and caring for pets here and there since 2018, and regularly since summer 2025. My experience includes cats ages 1.5-16, dogs ages 10 months-15.5 years, and one rabbit, but open to watching other house pets with instructions. I am able to handle low-moderate difficulty dogs of all sizes, some reactivity ok. I have regular clients that I see for walks, in-house visits, and overnight stays. I am cat and dog first aid and CPR certified and for cats I am able to administer pills and inhalers (no injections). I love all animals, but have found that I am able to befriend most cats in particular. I am communicative with clients, and can send daily photos and pet reports upon request. I look forward to working with you and your pets!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I do not offer boarding in my home, but I have done multiple drop-in visits and overnight stays for cats, dogs, and a rabbit. I am tidy and respectful of the homes I visit, and am careful to leave doors locked when I am out. I am communicative and notify pet owners immediately if there are any issues or concerns.
Ratings and reviews
Kaylee is a super pet-caretaker! She is reliable, consistent, and very kind. She loves animals and takes her role as a caretaker seriously. I accompanied Kaylee on a dog walk with one of her regular clients, and I could tell how attentive she was to his needs and his personality.
