About: As a devoted cat owner, I understand that every feline has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your cat is energetic and attention-seeking, food-motivated and independent, or shy and slow to trust, I provide patient, loving care tailored to them. I have experience with special needs cats, including administering insulin injections for diabetic cats and managing prescription diets with food separation.

I also provide daily enrichment, playtime, brushing, and litter box maintenance to keep your cat happy and comfortable. Your feline friend will be in reliable, caring hands while you’re away!
“This was our second time booking with Gabi and just like last time, she took such great care of our girls!

Love the thoughtful and carefulness that Gabi has when checking in on my cats. Will be my go-to sitter from now on!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - East Cambridge
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I grew up with 2 Yorkies and bulldogs! I love dogs with my life. Dogs are like family to me. One of my Yorkies (they both live in my hometown) passed away recently due to her age, so I do know how to properly take care of dogs even when it comes to senior dogs or even puppies. I am always available to take care of dogs! I live with my boyfriend who works at home so he is available in case I’m not home. I go to law school so sometimes it does get busy but I’m always happy to take care of a baby (pet)! I take care of pets at my home by providing them a place for them to be able to sleep comfortably and play with their toys. I also think that talking to them calms them down and makes them more comfortable. Dogs are really smart and they do understand rules if you explain it to them!
“Elizabeth and her kids took amazing care of Bean! Elizabeth was incredibly accommodating in setting up a space for Bean in her home and truly went above and beyond. She also sent various updates and photos throughout Bean's stay with her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Luna really enjoyed her stay with Ardelia. We have a special needs dog and Ardelia was very understanding and helpful. We would definitely work with Ardelia again.”
“Rebecca was very friendly and communicative. She scheduled a meet and greet to introduce our dog to her space and asked insightful questions. She has great experience caring for larger dogs, and our dog came home relaxed and happy.”
“Tiffany and Steve were really through up front so we knew exactly what to expect, sent us updates throughout the day, and our dog seemed to really like them. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Roman had a wonderful time! I loved the updates and the pictures throughout his stay! It definitely makes my fur mom heart a little more settled knowing the great care he is in and updates on what he’s doing during his time! Definitely came home nice and sleepy!!”
About: I’ve helped care for friends’ and family’s dogs for several years, whether that means going on walks, feeding them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and always pay attention to each pet’s individual needs so they can have a fun and stress-free experience. :) I currently work online and have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I’m able to give them lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m flexible with timing and happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. :) I live in a quiet residential neighborhood with a backyard and a park nearby, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I keep my home clean, tidy, and pet-friendly to make sure it’s a safe and comfortable environment. I don’t have any pets of my own, so I can fully focus on giving your pet the attention and care they need while they’re with me. :)

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

She arrived right on time, took Luna on a nice walk, and sent lots of pictures throughout. Luna looked so happy and comfortable in every photo. It was clear she was in great hands, and I’d happily book with Hannah again!”
About: I've grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. From tiny puppies to large lovable seniors, I've been around them all! I'll treat your pup with lots of scritches, belly rubs, and love like they're my own, all while maintaining the level of discipline you keep in your home. I'm comfortable walking on a leash, taking them to a dog park, or just hanging around at home watching whatever is on TV. Dogs are a comforting presence for me, and I'm eager to take care of yours. I'm currently unemployed and am job hunting as we speak, so my schedule is wide open! Whenever you need a caring, watchful eye over your pup, I'll be there. I live by a park, so if I'm dayboarding, there's easy access to green space. If I'm dog walking or dog sitting, I'll follow your lead. You know your pup best, so whatever rules or expectations you have, I'll ensure they're followed and maintained.
“Alexander came through for us when we needed a reliable walker on short notice. Our dog took to him immediately. We appreciated how well he communicated with us, and how he was always on time. We would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker.”
About: I’ve been dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was in elementary school. I was always the friend who was excited to take everyone’s dog on a walk, even when they were dreading it! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with feeding, basic medications, long walks, playtime, and keeping routines consistent while owners are away. I’m a dependable, super active animal lover with just under 11 years of experience caring for dogs (walking, pet sitting, drop-ins, overnight stays). I grew up around dogs and helped raise and train my family’s 6-year-old Golden Retriever, Bear, who is the most perfect pooch in the world!! I’d love to help keep your pup active, cared for, and loved whenever you need an extra hand :) I’m currently studying for the LSAT and working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and love using my free time to stay active. Dog walking and pet care fit really naturally into my routine since I already enjoy getting outside for long walks and being around animals. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine, comfort level, and personality. I always make sure pets are fed, walked, loved, and kept safe, whether I’m at my home or a client’s. I’m comfortable following specific instructions, giving basic medications, and keeping owners updated so they know their pup is in good hands.
