“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!”

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 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!”

About: Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around, I'm happy to adapt to their needs and give them lots of attention and care! I've owned many different animals and taken care of them (different breeds, personalities, species, sizes, and ages). I am a long-time dog owner, with one living in Boston with me. I can walk, feed, entertain, and dog sit/watch any breed! I have experience with senior dog care as well, since a previous dog I owned battled cancer and was almost 10 years old (100 pound English Cream Golden Retriever named Nikko). I'm very flexible, responsive, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am a recent college graduate that is studying for the LSAT, but I am available during the day for long periods of time during most (if not all) days of the week. I am very flexible! I would make sure your dog has plenty of toys, water, attention, and exercise as needed and requested. I will ensure your pet is well cared for!

“This was our second time having Shelby stay in our home to watch our dog, this time for a long trip abroad for 2 weeks. She took fantastic care of our dog and of our home while we were away. Shelby was super responsive, very respectful of our space, and clearly cared and loved our dog while she was house and dog sitting. It’s great to let our dog stay in a space known to him and we even had numerous neighbors reach out to let us know how good Shelby was with our dog. We will definitely be asking her to watch our dog again in the future!”
