: Reliable Cambridge Student | Trustworthy Pet Sitter & Dog Walker

Hi there! My name is Faith, and I am a dependable student living here in Cambridge. While I don’t have pets of my own at the moment, I have always been an animal lover and have gained great experience caring for the pets of my friends and extended family.

Being a student has made me very organized and excellent at following specific instructions. Whether your dogs have a strict feeding schedule, need a high-energy walk, or just need some calm companionship while you’re out, I am happy to help! I am a non-smoker and I pride myself on being punctual and communicative.

Since I am balancing my studies, I have great availability for evening and weekend shifts, as well as casual daytime bookings. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and making sure they are well-loved and safe!
