House Sitting North Cambridge

About: I worked at a humane society and worked with many dogs of all sizes and breeds. Helped to socialize them; took them for walks/hikes, went for car rides, got them comfortable being outdoors. I also dog sat for friends and family throughout the years. Very comfortable with giving medications and taking care of special needs dogs (grew up with a dog that required seizure medication and had frequent seizures). As a college student I have a fairly flexible schedule. My weekends are completely free and I have more than a couple hours free during the weekday in the mornings and evenings (as well as some time during the middle of the day if I’m not in class). I grew up in a home where dogs were family members. We were very comfortable with them being indoor and outdoor pets. We would go for hikes, walks/runs (was fairly active to help the dogs release their energy) and would also relax together indoors. Will crate as needed for dog and family comfort or will just hang out on a sofa and read a book for company for the pet. Since I’m used to caring for a high maintenance dog that required special attention, I can clean up accidents and administer medications if needed (with lots of approved treats)

“Nicole was great with our two 10-year-old cattle dogs for their first overnight stay with a new sitter. She was kind, professional, and easy to talk to about all their routines and quirks beforehand, which put us at ease leaving our pups in someone new's care. While we were away, she sent updates at the key points in their schedule, so we always knew they were fed, walked, and settled. Everything about the stay felt smooth and well cared for, and we're already looking forward to booking with her again!”

“Jess was the best dogsitter we could have asked for!! Sent regular updates, was very responsible and affectionate with our dog Zetti, and even drove her to the dog park when she refused to walk. We are truly spoiled :D thank you Jess!!!”

“Maisel was so great with our dogs, Tavish & Ellie. She took great care of them and they were happy as ever when we returned. She also took meticulous care of our home which she stayed in while we were gone. We’ll definitely book her again next time the need arises!”

“We’ve booked with Laine several times now and she is so great with our hyper Australian Shepherd! Very communicative with us and keeps us at ease while we are traveling.”

“It was so great having Alexis take care of our 5-month-old puppy for the weekend. She had tons of experience and he was in great hands. She kept him on a great schedule with lots of fun, play, and walks and sent updates and pictures morning and evening. He loved her. She also left the house in perfect condition. We would definitely love to hire her again.”

Laura O.

“Julia W. was great with our exuberant goldendoodle, Jake. She clearly loves animals, and has excellent experience with dog care and training. Jake was busy each day with multiple walks, playtime, and then some nice down time. Julia communicated well, sent us pictures, was very responsive. We knew that our dog was in great hands. Thank you so much!”

Kim W.

“Sky is amazing! She was so attentive to all of our doggo’s needs and very communicative throughout our time away. We loved getting multiple photo and video updates. Without a question would book with her again! I know our furry family member is counting down the days until Skylar’s next visit.”

“Andrew was a fantastic sitter! Cassia has a great time with him. We greatly appreciated his communication. We received updates and adorable photos throughout the stay. Cassia is looking forward to the next time he comes to stay with her!”

Lisa C.

“Tam did a great job taking care of our dog for a week! She was very detail oriented, spent lots of quality time with our dog, and was a great house guest!”

Molly M.

“Ria is fantastic. I have a very nervous dog that Ria was willing to work with for weeks before dog sitting. She was able to win her over and is now on a very short list of people my dog accepts! It was a gift to be able to go away and relax knowing our pets were well taken care of. She did an amazing job taking care of our house and pets. I feel so fortunate to have met her!”

“Kristen house sat our dog for a couple days. She was responsive and took great care of Daisy. Would certainly have her dog sit in the future!”

Alyssa K.

“Amanda was absolutely amazing taking care of our dog, Millie and our cat, Dobby for a week. From the moment we left, she checked in regularly with updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our pets. When we came home, Dobby and Millie were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious they had received plenty of love and attention while we were away. I would hire Amanda again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!”

Jennifer K.

“Renee worked with our family to take care of our two labs (5 mos and 3 years) while we were traveling overseas. She was available for a quick Zoom interview, as well as providing references quickly. While we were away she provided daily or more frequent updates with photos. She gave us great peace of mind and we came home to happy pups!”

About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and of many personalities. I will provide fun, enriching company for your pet, and can assist with all aspects of pet care like food, medication, walks, and sanitation. I have previously owned a reactive dog, and have experience with pets with health issues. Additionally, I have experience with cats, lizards, and fish! Hire me and I will draw your pet free of charge <3 When I am living at home, my life surrounds my dogs. We eat breakfast and dinner at the same time, we go on evening walks. In college, I hope to give myself the space to interact with pets a few times a week, while providing pet care and assistance to anyone who may need it. Within my clients’ homes I make sure to follow all guidelines surrounding where their pet is and isn’t allowed. I do not rush into showing affection, instead letting the pet warm up to my presence in their space, providing them with calm company until they approach me. I always make sure to provide positive reinforcement for good behavior, and work to create a lasting bond with the animals I work with.
