Doggy Day Care in Amherst

“Our dogs had a blast at Nicole’s place. They got to run around in her nice fenced in yard, played a lot of fetch and got to cool off in the kiddie pool. Nicole and her family are obviously dog lovers and I was so happy we left our girls with them. I would highly recommend Nicole to care for your pups as if they were her own.”

“John was great with our nervous Velcro dog. John is definitely a dog/animal person who can quickly read them and see what level of interaction they’re comfortable with. We plan to book with John for future dog-free trips.”

“Jessica and her daughter were fabulous hosts!! First off where they live is phenomenal!! It is so green and surrounded with wilderness. Loads of beautiful hiking areas and a nice big house!! They both come across as really gentle giving kind hearted people who are great with animals!! Bruno had a great time with them and was ready to go to sleep when we got home last night!! I would definitely recommend them and plan to use them again in the future!!”

“Jessica was incredibly accommodating and sweet. We have two greyhounds who got along fabulously with her whippets. I received a lot of photos of my guys running around in her gorgeous backyard. Amazing host!”

“Ok, this may be a repeat since my original review for Taylor has disappeared. Bottomline, Taylor’s care of Barkley was awesome! Taylor sent pictures of Barkley playing with his 2 dogs. We also know that Barkley was well cared for and enjoyed his stay with Taylor and his pack because Barkley readily and excitedly went with Taylor with wagging tail without looking back at us when we dropped him off for day 2…no hesitation or separation anxiety at all!!! We definitely recommend Taylor and would connect with him again.”

“I am so happy to have found Emma. My two sweet but somewhat anxious dogs were immediately at ease in her lovely space. Her calm, confident energy is just what we were all looking for in a caregiver. Emma was easy to communicate with and very professional. I look forward to working with her again!”

“Shawna was a great sitter. My dogs are never tired. But they were worn out when I picked them up so I know they got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Shawna!!”

“I could not have been more impressed with Jeanne! This was the first time I've left Maya with someone she didn't know, and it could not have gone better. I will definitely be a return customer!”

“We appreciated Megan's care for Jack, our vibrant, deaf 14 year old shih tzu, especially as I made last minute arrangements after traveling for a family funeral service and burial. She was helpful, reassuring and accommodating with all that Jack needed. We're grateful and recommend asking her to dog-sit.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life. In my home growing up I had two big dogs and a cat. I cared for neighbors animals often whenever they traveled. I’m adept in training dogs and dog behavior. After moving from home I dearly missed my animals and started to volunteer at a rescue center near me five times a week. I’m currently in graduate school online, studying to be an elementary school teacher! I’m doing practical work at schools nearby part time. But ever since moving out of my home I miss the pet life. I volunteer often at a rescue shelter near me! Often I take dogs home for an enrichment vacation from the shelter! Taking care of dogs is something I make time for, because it’s something I genuinely love and enjoy. I have no pets myself so I offer a comfortable quiet environment for your beloved fur baby! I have a lovely yard just waiting for sniffs. It’s not fenced in but is surround by woods and I plan to fence eventually. There are also so many wonderful walking paths near me.

“Thank you Forough and Amir! We were nervous at first how Russell would do and how he would get along with other dogs, so we were so relieved to hear that he fit right in! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Forough and Amir again and look forward to scheduling another visit!”

“Nel was wonderful to work with -- communicative, responsive, kind, and knowledgeable about dogs. Our pup had a great time with her!”

About: I took care of dogs growing up, and now dogs are part of my family. My children have also grown up with dogs, helping with training, feeding, brushing, bathing, and playing with our dog. I am a middle school teacher who is home with my family during the summer. My 10 year old son and I are available to welcome your dog into our family life during the summer weeks and on weekends during the school year. We have a large yard with a stream and conservation land behind our house. We enjoy walks in the woods, running around and playing catch in the yard with dogs who stay with us. Inside dogs are allowed on the couch. We are home all day during the summer. We are excited to meet your dog and welcome them into our family life.

About: As both a dog walker/sitter and a pet owner myself, I understand the needs and concerns you may have while away from your furr baby. I’m dedicated to keeping you updated throughout the process with photos, videos, and regular communication. My goal is to ensure your pet has the best time possible and to give you peace of mind, so you never have to worry. With two dogs and a bearded dragon of my own, I bring hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals. I enjoy playing with dogs and taking them on local fun trail adventures. My goal is to ensure every dog has a joyful and fulfilling experience. I’m available to pet sit on weekdays, weekends, and some holidays, providing reliable care to your furry friend’s needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities! I’m available most of the time and willing to work around your schedule. Just let me know your specific needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate them, ensuring both you and your pet have a smooth and stress free experience. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your needs, currently live in an apartment and can provide 3-4 potty breaks throughout the day, along with 2 daily walks.

About: I have fostered dogs and cared for them my whole life. I know how to train and positively reinforce the training you have already set in place. I have worked with dogs ranging from puppies to senior hospice. I love walking and caring for dogs in the winter time. Nothing better than seeing a dog get the zoomies in the snow. Excited to meet your dog! I have worked with all types of dogs while fostering and use positive reinforcement modalities and trauma informed training techniques. I prefer longer walks or frequent shorter walks

About: I’m a responsible, animal-loving mom with a flexible work-from-home schedule and a big fenced-in yard for your pet to play in. I have had pets (cats and dogs at different times) for my whole adult life, but said goodbye to my sweet elderly dog last year and am now enjoying the adventure of pet-sitting for others. My wife and I have an adorable 1-year-old child (she is in daycare most weekdays but she LOVES animals) and I have a peaceful home and routine that allows me to give lots of attention, love, and care to your pet. I offer a calm, predictable environment and we treat every pet like part of the family, with lots of love, attention, play, walks, and belly rubs. Your pet will enjoy a secure, spacious outdoor play area, comfy indoor areas to relax, a walkable neighborhood with forest trails, and (with your permission) lots of treats. I’m around all day for walks, feedings, and companionship, and I love sending you pictures of your pet having a blast on their vacation. My Schedule: I work full time from home (with some flexibility) on weekdays while my child is in daycare, and am happy to watch your pet on a daily basis or board them overnight. The environment : I have a large fenced in yard and a comfortable, climate controlled home, and have experience caring for dogs and cats, including elderly animals. I host one pet at a time (unless the pets are from the same family) and will lavish your fur baby with attention, play, and plenty of time outdoors. Because I have a young child, I can currently only care for pets 25lbs or under who are comfortable with babies/toddlers.

“Sofie is the most amazing petsitter I have ever met. Moki and Ollie were well cared for on a very stressful house-moving-day and Sofie was a kind and generous host even as she navigated their upset tummy issues. Thank you, Sofie; we will return when the boys are feeling well and settled and less stressed out. I appreciate you wholeheartedly.”

“Amad was amazing!! Would definitely recommend him to take care of your pup. Marley was well taken care of and came back tired from all the walks they went on🙌🏼 10/10”
