“We appreciated Amira so much for taking care of our two rabble-rousers. She provided a comforting presence and I could see they felt completely at home, which isn’t an easy task. In addition, we reached out midway through their stay and she responded immediately- this gave us peace of mind as well. Thank you!”
“Carmela was super nice with my elder dog. My chihuahua suffered violence from a teenager and now his behavior is not the best. Carmela was so comprehensive and knew how to manage him to keep him feel safe in her home. I am so thankful that she received my baby in her home for the time I had to travel.”
“If Arthur could write this review himself he would. He has had a few sleepovers with Amy and Mayzie. Every time he arrives he sprints to her door with tail wagging and pure joy. When he gets back home it’s KO. Snoring like he ran a marathon and had the time of his life doing it. I would trust Amy again, and again. 🐾”
“Aishea was very welcoming and made my cat's first stay away from home easy and worry free. She responded very quickly to messages and sent updates, which I appreciated. I have already booked another stay for my cat.”
“So sweet! She sent me pictures of them every other day to keep me posted on how they were doing. She was fast at responding and welcomed my dogs into her home as if they were a part of her family too! When I went to pick them up they were happy and healthy! I will be using Lisette again to watch my pups!”
About: Feeding, entertaining, and walking pets. Friends and family have trusted me in caring for their pets like my own when needed. I have had pets of all kinds growing up and have a passion for caring for dogs, cats and small animals such as guinea pigs. I currently work full remote and have flexibility to add in drop ins during the work day. I also have availability during weekends if you’re taking a trip, for multiple drop ins a day as needed. I currently have two cats who are my best friends. I have grown up around dogs and have dog sat for many years for friends and family. Walking and pop ins are the best part of my day.
About: Your pet is not a guest in our house, it’s a loved family member for life! We individually your pet’s care based on its preferences and habits. I am a pet lover working from home who loves the company and snuggles. My kids are crazy about dogs and love them dearly also. We live in a beautiful home with a big fenced in yard but do take the dog(s) out daily to explore in the woods and have fun!
“I’m very happy that I found someone so dependable & dedicated to watch my dog when I’m away. Andrea obviously loves dogs and my dog was very happy to stay with her. She stayed in touch with me and sent pictures regularly.”
“Saktah did a great job taking care of my elderly and rather unfriendly kitty, Koshka, for two weeks while I was vacationing. She was very professional, organized, and caring, kept me updated on how my kitty was adjusting, and showed genuine affection and concern for her. She's driven to get things right and wants your pet to be as comfortable as they can be while you're gone. So if you (like me) have a pet that needs extra love and care, and you'd like to relax during your vacation knowing they're in good hands, go with Saktah. She's got you covered.”
“Thankful for both Elliot and Mindy. They are easy to communicate with, they send daily pics and have been extremely understanding and flexible when we’ve needed to make last minute booking modifications. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Jannylza took excellent care of our dog. She was very thoughtful and responsive throughout. We felt confident that he was in good hands. Definitely recommend.”
“Kim is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our beloved Sully and made his stay a great experience. I felt very comfortable that he was in good hands, and got frequent updates and photos. Kim is attentive, trustworthy, caring, and provides great communication. Sully came home very happy but tired from a very fun stay. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always been around animals since day one! They are the light of my life and my furever passion. Following years of veterinary internships, I had worked as a VCA kennel technician, caring for animals during their overnight stay. Throughout my time, I worked with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, ensuring they felt safe, loved, and right at home ❤️. I have training in various fields, including medication administration, animal behavior and hygiene, and nutrition. I have experience working with young, adult, and senior animals. During my time as a zoo intern, I also had the opportunity to care for exotic animals (including reptiles, amphibians, rodents, insects, birds, and mammals). My daily tasks would often consist of socializing, feeding, cleaning, and grooming the animals. I would also administer medication when necessary and lots of love and attention. I genuinely love what I do, and I always coordinate with owners to guarantee exceptional care for their furry (scaley or feathery) loved ones. I currently work full-time but have flexibility at night and on the weekends. I am available for most if not all holidays! I will make sure to keep an updated schedule! I have a large, fenced in backyard and two friendly cats at home. I live in a quiet, residential neighborhood, providing a safe environment to go on walks. I have a spacious house with only adults. I will care for your pet as instructed, including specific diets and training. I am also experienced in grooming and have an at-home salon!
“Itzel was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Huey, over the Christmas period. She was very responsive both prior to and during his stay. I received daily updates and Huey seemed to be a big fan of their long walks, play time, and midday naps. Would definitely recommend Itzel to anyone searching for a quality sitter in the Austin area and will hopefully be able to rebook for future stays!”
“Kat was so flexible and accommodating for a last minute new booking. super communicative and lovely to work with. She has a lot of experience with dogs with mobility concerns.I know my dog had a great time hanging out with her — I would truly recommend her dog sitting services to anyone who needs it.”

Caitlin and her family were fantastic, caring for my dog while my family and I were away. I had complete confidence my dog was being loved and well cared for. Caitlin sent daily pictures and updates with what they did each day. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a responsible and wonderful family to care for their pet.
Joseirys M. was absolutely amazing with our dog Django. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Django is a rescue and can be pretty anxious and fearful around new people, so we’re always very careful about who we leave him with. From the moment he was with Joseirys, it was clear she has a natural understanding of dogs and how to make them feel safe. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive, and Django quickly became comfortable in a way that honestly surprised us. What really stood out was how well she adapted—not just to Django’s needs, but to our schedule as well while we were in LA. She was communicative, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Django was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and treats your pet like their own, I highly recommend Joseirys. We will definitely be booking with her again.

96% of sitters in Agawam can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Agawam home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Agawam.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Agawam sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
