“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!”

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!
“Stephanie was great with our 4 month old puppy! We felt totally relaxed leaving him with her for the day. She made sure he had plenty of exercise and nap time, and sent us great pictures and updates throughout the day. Will definitely have her watch our pup again in the future!”

“Lelani is amazing and went beyond our expectations to love on Cash! She sends the most amazing updates with photos and loved ones our boy so much. It made having to be away so much easier. She left our place spotless, which was a surprising plus.”

“Ilse was wonderful watching our pets - particularly our anxious dog - over Fourth of July weekend. Super communicative and comfortable giving our pup meds. Even noticed our plants were getting scorched in the heat and needed some refreshment! Will definitely inept be calling her in the future.”

“Tam was a fantastic pet sitter and comes with our highest recommendation! She stayed at our place for a week while we were away and was extremely thorough in gaining all necessary information before we left. She was very communicative throughout the week and it's clear that our pets were given much attention. Thank you, Tam!”


“Amy was amazing! She house sat with my cat Louie for a week and was so good about sending updates, videos, pics. She gave Louie lots of love and attention, I’m so grateful to have found her”

“Devon house-sat and looked after our two dogs on August 11/12, 2025. Devon's great! Very kind with our dogs, speedy with communications, and conscientious with taking care of everything just right. We wholeheartedly recommend Devon to take care of your pets and/or house-sit for you! Thanks Devon!”

“My wife and I are first time dog owners who recently got a puppy. Anastasia took care of him for an evening while we were away and did a fantastic job! Theo was so comfortable with her and the peace of mind knowing that he was safe and well cared for is all I could ask for. Will definitely be working with Anastasia again!”

“Julia took amazing care of my pup on my overnight trip! I got plenty of pictures and pupdates and she was very diligent in letting me know how things were going. We will be very excited to have Julia again!”

“Nina is a true 5 star sitter! Helped us out with a last minute booking, arrived early, asked all the right questions regarding Bella's care, and went above and beyone taking care of her. Strongly recommend!”

“Aubrey was amazing. She take such amazing care of my girl while dog sitting. She was prompt in her communications and shared daily updates with me. I would recommend Aubrey to anyone looking to take care of their dogs”

“Kristina was wonderful with our bernadoodle puppy! She gave us a few updates throughout the night, followed all instructions we left regarding her bathroom routine etc and also sent amazing pictures! Will definitely book her again!”

“Sam was wonderful with my shy, anxious pup. Sam took it slow and Fern really warmed up to her. I got a very detailed report from Sam at the end of the weekend. I came home to a happy pup & a spotless home.”

“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.”

“Kelly was easily the best sitter I could have hoped for (any other anxious pet parents out there?). She was excellent with proactively communicating prior commitments, and kept in regular contact throughout the Meet & Greet process and duration of housesitting. Before the start of booking, she had already read through our care instructions and was detailed and generous with the photo and video updates. I've never seen our two (admittedly undersocialized) cats adapt to another person so well; anyone would be lucky to have Kelly as their sitter :). Thank you again, Kelly!!”

“Sydney was fantastic! She stayed at our apartment over a weekend to care for our dog. She sent pictures all weekend and was very responsive. This was our first time having someone do in-home pet care for us and we felt completely comfortable in her hands. I highly recommend her for in-home pet care!”

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)

Anna did an amazing job with Heidi! Not only did she maintain Heidi’s weekly schedule with drop off and pick up from doggy daycare and bedtime snuggles but Anna also kept our little pup safe and comfortable during the stressful 4th of July fireworks. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!

James was an excellent pet sitter and house sitter for us. He took amazing care of our dog and cat, to include over the July 4th weekend where our dog had significant fireworks anxiety. We got daily photos and videos, and its clear James really invested in engaging the animals in games and activities throughout his time caring for them. I think he even taught our dog some new tricks! Our home was returned even cleaner than he found it, which was unnecessarily kind of him. We hope to work with James again!

Raul did an amazing job taking care of my babies! My sitter fell through last minute and he had no problem booking the visit. He was very communicative and made sure to send pictures and updates throughout the stay. My pets were very well taken care of and I will definitely be having Raul watch them again in the future!

Brandy took wonderful care of my senior dog, Bunny, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly communicative throughout the visit and sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and she was so attentive to Bunny's needs as an older dog. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I would absolutely book with Brandy again. Highly recommend!

Great experience! Masiel took wonderful care of our two dogs over July 4th (and gave them some special love around fireworks!). Came super prepared to the meet and greet, took good care of our home and provided us lots of updates while we were gone. Our boys loved her!

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!

I was apprehensive about leaving my 14+ year old corgi for a week and a half and have been avoiding traveling anywhere I can’t take her for the past couple years. I was so glad to find Lilia and she did a fantastic job. In our meet and greet, she asked many insightful and detailed questions about caring for Lexi, took detailed notes, and Lexi took to her very quickly. As Lexi is senior and has a few quirks, I would only have been comfortable leaving her with someone very experienced and capable in caring for animals, and that was clear from our initial meeting. Lexi had a FANTASTIC time while I was gone. I received daily updates with photos of Lexi on adventures and clearly having a great time. Lilia was also careful to ask me about anything that seemed out of the ordinary in Lexi’s behavior - mostly senior dog quirks I had forgotten to mention but it was reassuring that I certainly would have heard about anything more serious. Lilia was also extremely courteous when it came to my apartment. I am so grateful to Lilia for the excellent care she took of Lexi, allowing me to really travel for the first time in years. My only concern while traveling was that Lexi looked like she was having so much fun that she would be disappointed about me returning home! I will have to find another excuse to travel soon so Lexi can spend more time with her new friend.

Gabriel was great. He gave constant updates, our cats were extremely happy with him and he asked great questions to make sure everything went smoothly. When we got back from our trip our house looked as though no one was even there. He kept everything so clean. Would highly recommend for in home stay or visits.
Olivia took wonderful care of our dogs, Bruiser and Max, this weekend! She was incredibly responsive from start to finish, communicated consistently, and sent frequent updates with photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We really appreciated how attentive and reliable she was, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
