House Sitting North Cambridge

“Amanda did an exceptional job taking care of my dog and senior cat while I was away. She has great communication skills and kept me informed about each animal’s wellbeing throughout my trip. She is very detail oriented and made sure she had all the information she needed for the sit. Most importantly, Amanda was amazing with my animals! They both absolutely loved her ( and my cat is very particular about people)! She took time to learn their personalities and spent time with each accordingly. I have never come back to such relaxed, happy animals after a sit! I can’t recommend Amanda highly enough!”

“Tam really went above and beyond to care for my Sofie. I had an emergency and had to stay away for longer than expected, and she agreed to extended the booking and took great care of Sofie for me. She even took Sofie to the vet and groomer for me! She was in constant communication, sending updates, photos and overall keeping me in the loop about how things were going at home. I’m very happy I found Tam and grateful for the great work she did with Sofie. Thanks Tam! Hopefully we’ll see you again soon ❤️”

“Madeline is a great communicator and easy to schedule with. She was very attentive towards our pets and really cared for them. She’s very flexible with her schedule and was able to accommodate us within a short period of notice.”

“Alison was wonderful! My cats were very well taken care of and I got regular updates. When I came home, everything was clean and my cats were very happy. Highly recommend!”

Mira M.

“Levi was AMAZING! We were so lucky she had availability when we booked last minute. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and their behaviors while being very patient and understanding with our nervous rescue. She sent many pictures to keep us at ease while we were away and left the house cleaner than when we left! Chanel typically doesn’t clique with new people but she was so happy with Levi, we are so appreciative!”

“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”

“Andrew took incredible care of our furbaby Arlo while we were away for a week long trip. Arlo is an anxious and high energy pup. Andrew did a fantastic job keeping Arlo in a good routine, including plenty of walks and managing his allergy diet. He sent us regular picture updates every day which made us feel so much better knowing Arlo was doing well. Arlo really developed a strong bond with Andrew. We highly recommend Andrew for pet sitting and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future. Thank you Andrew!”

“Katie was wonderful! She sent regular updates and pictures of our cat, took excellent care of our home, and communicated quickly throughout the planning process before her stay. I couldn’t recommend her more! Hopefully we’re able to book her again. Thanks, Katie!”

“Nicole was excellent on her services. She stayed in our apartment for a house visit and she was super respectful of the place. She was very effective in communication and I was never wondering what our dog was up to, since Nicole planned out several activities and outings. I’m 100% hoping to re-book her for any future needs.”

About: I have had a pet dog for eleven years and have pet-sat for various people over the past 5 years. I also graduated from Eckerd college with a degree in animal studies, and have taken several classes related to animal welfare and behavior. I graduated from college and currently still applying for jobs and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to provide pet care such as dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting. I will care for pets in the clients home. I am unable to care for pets at my own home because my dog is old and does not get along well with new pets.

“Hassana is a great house sitter. She had a great time with the dogs, sent pics daily, they might’ve had more fun with her than they do with us! We also trust her judgment as she dealt with one dog having upset stomach and a bit of flooding in the basement—fortunately nothing serious but we appreciated her calm professionalism and communication. We will definitely have her again.”

“Natalie house sat this weekend for our recently rescued 7 1/2 yr old wheaten. She was both professional and compassionate. We were very pleased with her work and have already booked her for a week later in the year. It is with great confidence and pleasure that we recommend her to you”

“This was Nate’s first overnight with Clio. He’s always so wonderful, communicative and takes such great care of Clio and her special care needs!! Highly recommend 😊”

About: 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! Outside of work and my current clients, I am typically available in the mornings 9:30-10:30 or earlier, evenings 5 or later MTW, 6:30 or later Thurs, and 3:30 or later on Fridays. I am able to travel about 30 min by walking or public transit from Union Sq. in the mornings, 30 min by walking or transit from Harvard Sq. or Union Sq. in the evenings, and will consider further locations on Friday afternoons and weekends (probably an hour from Union Sq. max.) 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.

“Meghan was absolutely amazing! We were looking for someone who could handle our energetic floof, and we are so happy we found Meghan. She was extremely responsive, sent daily photos and updates and had our house cleaner than when we left it. We could tell our pup was well cared for, got lots of walks, loves, snuggles and treats. We can’t recommend Meghan enough!”

“Ana was awesome with Bootsy. She did everything to make her happy and comfortable and sent us lots of pictures. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again.”

“After a long 10 vacation with some twists and turns, Traci was always communicative, accommodating and highly professional, not to mention just a lovely person. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. During our trip, our dog unexpectedly became sick with vomiting and diarrhea, and she remained calm, composed and compassionate, including middle-of-the-night potty breaks and keeping us informed throughout. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and tremendous peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and recommend her without hesitation.”

“What can I say? Rosie is an EXCELLENT sitter!! She came to stay with our cat Keani while we went away for 8 days. First of all, she is SO good with our cat who tends to be a little cautious. They became friends right away. She sent photos everyday and I was so happy to see my furbaby looking relaxed and happy 😊 Second, there was a SITUATION in our place while we were away - a situation which was not so pleasant for sure for some people. Rosie contacted me right away and proactively dealt with the situation with my landlord. While all that was happening, she made sure that our cat was safe and happy. We came home and EVERYTHING WAS SO CLEAN! Our cat was happy to see us but not like distressed or upset. We are so thankful for her 🙏✨ I can’t say enough good things about Rosie!”

“A’Jacia took excellent care of our cat, Kima. She was very communicative with us while we were away. If we were not moving we would absolutely hire her again. We highly recommend her services !”
