“Caitylin was awesome taking care of Sasha. We recieved multiple updates and she was flexible and follow Sasha's schedule as we asked for. We definitely recommend her for house sitting services. She is reliable and responsible. Our Sasha seems to miss her already.”

“Jamie is an absolute lifesaver. She watches Maui most days while I’m at work, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my dog. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely loves her, which shows in how happy and relaxed Maui is around her. She was even able to cut Mauis nails and brush her teeth which is literally a miracle considering Maui doesn’t allow anyone to do it (including me). Knowing Maui is cared for by someone so responsible and kind gives me total peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful to have her as both a roommate and someone Maui adores.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who require gentle attention and special routines. I’m also very comfortable managing large, high-energy dogs, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, structure, and affection. A tired dog is a happy dog! My goal is to provide a safe and positive environment that meets each dog’s individual needs. I have a hybrid schedule with two work from home days a week and a four-day work week. This gives me the flexibility to offer reliable care during mornings, evenings, and weekends, as well as select overnight stays. I like to ask for a list of the words and routines your pet knows, so I can keep things consistent and comfortable. I support positive reinforcement and redirection and like to include short training or enrichment sessions with treats, along with plenty of playtime and affection.

“Tam took terrific care of our 10-y-o German Shepherd mix, Ava, once again. Tam gave Ava lots of stimulation, exercise, and TLC, and we came home to a happy pup and our home in great condition. Ava was sick at the very beginning of Tam’s stay (probably ate something “off” just before we left and Tam arrived), and Tam was heroic about cleaning up, keeping us updated, and following our instructions to prepare rice and modify what Ava was eating to get her back to healthy in 24 hours. Tam was terrific and communicated with us throughout. She also sends terrific photos so we never miss Ava too much when we are gone. I definitely recommend Tam for all your dog care needs.”

“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!”

“Annmarie took care of our cat and senior dog over a long weekend. She was responsive and responsible, and sent regular updates. We look forward to having her care for our pets in our home again.”

“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!”

Meredith C.

“My family could not have asked for a better person than Heaven to stay and care for our dog. Heaven brought us peace of mind while we were away as she is extremely professional, kind, caring, responsible and attentive. I received updates and pictures and our house looked untouched when we returned home. If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I would!”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 8 years old. I grew up with cats of my own and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats in rescue, shelter, and home settings. In high school, I volunteered for two years as a dog walker at LaMancha Animal Rescue in Chester County, PA. During college, I began fostering cats and volunteering at Gifford Cat Shelter in Brighton, MA where I continue to volunteer weekly. There, I work with cats of all ages and temperaments, from kittens to shy or under-socialized cats to high-energy adults. I have experience administering medications to cats, including eardrops, pills, and insulin, and I’m comfortable learning new medication routines as needed. In 2024, I adopted a shy cat of my own, and we regularly do clicker training to help him comfortable in his carrier, build confidence and strengthen our bond! This has given me a deep appreciation for patience-based, consent-driven care. I’m available weekday mornings before 7:30 AM and weekday evenings after 5:30 PM, with some flexibility on remote work days and holidays. On weekends, I’m typically in the Cambridge/Somerville area and available most of the day. I’m a patient, down-to-earth caregiver who takes the time to get to know each pet and go at their pace. I take safety seriously while keeping things calm and low-pressure. I follow your instructions closely and keep routines consistent to make sure your pet's day feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I'm especially mindful around transitions, i.e. coming and going, leasing up, or introducing new outdoor areas, and I always let pets opt in to interaction rather than pushing them past their comfort zone. Before leaving, I make sure pets have access to fresh water, get any meals or medications on schedule, and are comfortably settled before I leave.

“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.”

“Sunny took amazing care of Tater while we were out of town! Sent lots of pictures (amazing ones!) and checked in with us often. Sunny even left us a framed picture of Tater. She is fantastic!”

Melissa L.

“Kairecia was amazing. She was so wonderful with our cats and rat and truly was an incredible help. Her communication is incredible and her ability to adapt to different pet personalities is truly an admirable quality. She even got our super shy kitty to come and hang with her toward the end! Thank you so so much for everything!”

“Brooke stayed with our cat Benny for 4 nights. I cannot recommend her highly enough! She was patient with our shy boy and by the end of their time together, they were great buds! Brooke was so kind and communicative. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”

Carley M.

“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”
