“Neil is a fantastic pet sitter. Easygoing, communicative, kind, and gets along amazingly with my furballs. Could not recommend him more highly.”

“This was our second time asking Will to look after our cats! He did such an amazing job with our older cat Raymond last time that when we needed to make a last minute trip I immediately reached out to him. We even adopted a second cat, Bailey, since his last visit and he was so good with her too despite not having met her yet! I highly recommend Will’s services!”

“Thomas provided excellent care for our cat and home! We are so grateful for you Thomas! I would recommend him to anyone that was seeking an attentive and considerate pet caregiver. We would love to have you care for Elvie again!”

Andrea H.

About: I grew up with and have helped care for dogs of all sizes and ages. Experience with puppies, seniors, and handling reactive dogs, including walking in the high dog-density Cambridge area. I currently have a flexible work schedule during the day, and am generally available for walking and drop-in pet care visits any time before 6pm. House sitting, including non-daytime, also available pending scheduling. I am diligent and attentive to your dog as well as any nearby dogs, traffic, and wildlife. I have experience handling large and/or reactive dogs in the Cambridge area. While I typically bike or walk to dog clients, I do have a car for emergencies or if your dog would be interested in a hike.

About: Hi! I’m Jaime - a rescue mom to a pittie mix and a lifelong dog lover. Living with a reactive dog has taught me how to be patient, observant, and flexible. I understand that every dog has their own quirks, triggers, and comfort zones, and I’m here to support them exactly as they are. Whether your dog is reactive to squirrels, unsure around new people, or needs space from other dogs, I want to know it all. No detail is too small or too much. I truly care about making your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. I grew up with two medium-sized dogs (a Dalmatian and an English Pointer), and I’ve pet sat for everything from cuddly Goldens, senior Great Danes, to independent cats. I love getting outside for walks, and I’m always happy to have a four-legged companion join me. I’d love to hear more about your pet and how I can help care for them. Please reach out with any questions! I have free mornings during the week, which makes it easy for me to stop by for check-ins or take your pet out for a walk. I’m also available on weekends and happy to coordinate around your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your space and your pet with the utmost care and respect. I follow all instructions closely - from feeding and walk routines to giving medication, which I do regularly for my own dog. I’m mindful of your pet’s boundaries and energy levels, whether they need space, slow introductions, or extra time to warm up. I also take safety seriously: I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure your pet is secure and comfortable while you're away. I also love sending pictures since as a dog mom, I look forward to receiving them when I'm away!

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, having looked after them for friends and family in the past. As a genuine pet lover, I enjoy spending time with dogs and ensuring they receive the care and attention they need. Since I work from home, I can easily tailor my schedule to meet the needs of the pets under my care. I have the flexibility to accommodate walks, midday check-ins, or afternoon play sessions based on their needs. Regarding pet care, I'm all about giving each one personalized attention and tailoring activities to fit their unique needs to ensure they're happy and content!

“Lucy did an incredible job taking care of our two cats! She was responsible, thoughtful, and communicative, offering to do things we hadn’t thought to ask for (starting the dish washer, sweeping up around the litter boxes). Our cats had a great time with her, I’d recommend her and book her again!”

Alicia Y.

“Ana was a great sitter and dog walker. She played with Ziggy and sent numerous photos and videos of them playing fetch and enjoying the outdoors.. I’m looking forward to having her walk and pet sit my pup again.”

Sara C.

“Michael is wonderful! He’s super kind, & my cat loved him. He went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy and comfortable while I was away! 10/10, highly recommend. :)”

Mackenzie S.

“Despite our cat’s very prickly personality, Melissa managed to become good friends with her. She spent lots of time with her (more than we booked her for) and sent lots of photos and updates, helping us feel less anxious about leaving our cat alone for a holiday trip. I’d recommend Melissa to anyone looking for an amazing sitter.”

Kyle M.

“Katinka was fantastic--she cuddled our cat and took care of his medicine. I came back after a five day trip and he acted as if I had just been gone for a few hours. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, a lizard, fish, chickens, and hamsters all my life! I have a great love for animals and currently miss mine (back in Colorado) very much. I would love to take great care of your furry babies and get to see some animals in my day as well. I’m currently working a virtual internship part-time and am extremely flexible! I’d love to take your pets on active walks/runs or just hangout, whatever is best for them and you. I am very responsible and will care for your pets as if they are my own. I know the importance of being as careful with an animal as you would with a child.

“Amanda has been our catsitter for the past two years. We (my husband and I) and our babies (Guru and Kiwi) LOVE her. She is incredibly sweet, very reliable, takes wonderful care of the kitties, and we feel very lucky to have found her. She sends us detailed reports for every visit with plenty of pictures when we’re away and that brings us great peace of mind. I could not recommend Amanda more, you will definitely not be disappointed by this sweet and caring pet sitter.”
