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)

“Amanda did an excellent job taking care of our reactive dog while we were away for the weekend. She followed all our instructions, communicated very well, and gave Sierra lots of attention and playtime.”

“We had a fantastic experience with Nicole! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish — always quick to respond and kept us updated with regular photos and messages. Nicole was punctual, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Our pup instantly warmed up to her, and it was clear they were in great hands the whole time. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. It was such a relief knowing our pet was being cared for by someone so friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. We’d absolutely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter”

“Tam was an absolutely fabulous sitter. She stayed with our dog over the Christmas holidays and took wonderful care of him — she took him on long walks, played with him at home, and made sure he was well looked after. She also kept us up to date every day to give us a peace of mind. I cannot recommend her highly enough — she was a true joy to have look after our dog, and we’ll make sure to book her again when we’re out of town next!”

“Hassana took great care of my pups, sent plenty of pictures, and communicated well the whole time I was away. I could relax knowing they were in good hands!”

Mike G.

“We had a great experience with Liana! She was very communicative from start to finish and took wonderful care of our dachshund puppy, Louie. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, especially since we don’t leave him often. It was clear Louie was well cared for, got plenty of attention, and was comfortable with her. Liana was also very respectful of our home and left everything exactly as we had left it. We would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Aaron spent an evening with our labradoodle when we visited the area from out of town. Aaron and the dog got along great and went on a long walk. We would definitely book Aaron again if we need dog sitting again in the area.”

“Rosie was so gentle and patient with our shy, anxious pandemic puppy! She took excellent care of him and of our house while we were gone, and sent sweet updates so we knew how he was doing. Will absolutely ask Rosie to come back next time we go out of town!”

About: Hello! My name is Abigail and I have been taking care of pets for about 8 years. I have rescued two seniors and taken care of multiple dogs between the ages of 1 to 12. I am a go to sitter for my family and neighbors. I have experience taking care of disabled dogs and multiple years of administering medications (pills, liquid medication, ear drops, eye drops). I am a junior at Texas Tech university but Boston is home for every school break. I would love to provide housesitting/walking services in your home to minimize disruption for your pet while you are out of town or out and about. I will leave your place exactly as you left it and I will care for your pets exactly how I have always cared for my own. I love to be involved in the daily routine of pets that I am caring for. I am very accommodating to their routines. I am up for spending lots of time helping them to burn off energy or sit and be calm while petting them if that is more their speed. I can do long walks or short walks, play time, snack time and/or dinner time. I will care for your pets exactly as you would and I welcome as much detail as you would like to provide. There is nothing too big or too small for me to do! I am happy to go exactly at your pets pace.

“We were so happy to have Devika stay in our home with our dog Lucy while we attended a wedding! Devika was very responsive and sent lots of photos of Lucy which I appreciated. She was available on short notice and left our house in great shape. Thank you Devika!!”

“Traci is wonderful with our anxious dog—she stayed with her on two separate occasions, and was very proactive and communicative about how things were going. She also kept an eye on little things around the house and made sure everything was tended to while we were gone.”

“This was my first time being away from my 10 month old blue heeler mix. As he is still a puppy he can be a handful and is still a work in progress with commands. Andrew did a great job, sent daily updates, and put my mind at ease. I will definitely be rebooking. He was also accommodating to a short notice schedule change. Thanks Andrew!”

About: I strive to establish a real connection with every pet I look after. I've cared for pets with all levels of disabilities and/or medical issues, which can require extra attentiveness or frequent medicine doses. I'm also a relatively active person and love getting extra steps in when we can. I'm a working actor and musician with plenty of time during the day and week! Overnight lodging is great, or just a regular swing thru. Very flexible scheduling wise. I have an anxiety ridden mutt who thrives on routine. We regularly go on walks, spend lots of time outside, and stick to a tight schedule. Treats, love, and extracurriculars always when applicable!

About: I have been the family/neighborhood cat and dog-sitter for years. From small little puppies and cats to Bernese Mountain dogs even larger than me! I am currently working part-time as a teacher so there is flexibility in my schedule to make time for pet visits, walks, or even overnight stays. I take long walks almost daily so having a furry companion with me would make them that much better. I always make sure any doors that need to remain shut are kept closed so no pets make their way into something they shouldn’t. Allergies are always noted in my phone, along with closest animal hospital just in case.

About: As a professional pet sitter, I bring an unparalleled level of dedication, expertise, and specialized skills to offer exceptional care for animals, be it puppies or senior pets. My commitment towards providing the highest standard of service is not only driven by a genuine love for animals but also backed by appropriate training in both puppy care and senior pet support. This essay will delve into the aspects that set me apart from other sitters, focusing on my unique skill set and the high-quality care I provide for these particular age groups of pets I typically work at the restaurant during my free time, which is usually in the mornings or afternoons depending on my schedule. However, I am available to work on weekends from 9 am to 8 PM. Thank you for considering my availability. keeping your furry friends happy and healthy. It's super important to make sure their living area is nice and clean, and that there's nothing dangerous lying around that could hurt them. By doing some regular cleaning and removing any harmful objects, you can help create a safe and comfortable environment for your pets to thrive in.

“Kailey was great w Babe. She sent updates about Babe through texts, pics, and videos. I came home to a happy girl and a clean home (bonus) lol.”

“Kristina did a great job housesitting and taking care of my senior dog. She gave me real peace of mind. My dog can be both timid and stubborn and Kristina had a lot of patience with her. Within a few hours my dog was trusting of her which was a great sign. Kristina went above and beyond caring for my dog including the precautions we take with her mobility issues. Kristina provided tons of timely communication with texts and photos. She left my home clean. I’d recommend Kristina to anyone who’s nervous about leaving their dog with a sitter.”

“Wow! Amanda is a fantastic dog sitter! We are SO grateful that she was able to care for our two senior dogs while we were away for the weekend. Amanda was incredible in how she communicated and kept us posted on how our girls were doing the whole time we were away (we LOVE getting all the pics and updates throughout the day!). Amanda was also super respectful of our home and took great care to leave it in perfect condition for our return. We feel so very lucky to have found Amanda and recommend her without any reservations. We will definitely be reaching out to Amanda in the future. Thanks, Amanda for taking such good care of our girls for us! We really appreciate it!!”

“Thanks so much Daniella for taking care of our dog Aspen and our cat Amari. We appreciated the daily updates, pics, and videos to check in with us and your responsiveness was top notch! We look forward to working with you again in the near future and would recommend you without reservations. Thank you again!💜”
