“Avi was super loving and attentive with my cat while I was on vacation and it was so comforting to know she was taking such good care of him! She sent detailed reports and pictures every day and went out of her way to make sure he got enough attention and care. I highly recommend her services!”

“Catherine did a wonderful job watching over our tiny menagerie. She spent lots of extra playing with our cats. It was great to know she was here while we were away.”

“Grace was so good with our cat, Guppy. She was always on time and followed the instructions we gave her perfectly. Guppy loves to play until he's out of breath, and Grace sent us pictures showing with him panting from the fun time he had. We'd definitely recommend booking with Grace, and we plan to again next time we have to leave town.”

“Lily was excellent. She dropped in additional times to ensure our cat was OK even outside of the times we booked her for. She kept us updated and when we arrived back our little girl was content and well. Thank you lily!”

“I highly recommend Thomas as a rover sitter. My two cats were cared for like they were his own and I have never been so at ease when away from them. Thomas’s communication is excellent. In arranging pet sitting dates, discussing pet and household needs, coordinating timing of visits, providing rover card updates, videos, and pictures - he exceeded all expectations. Feeding, cleanliness, monitoring cat health were all done with excellence and dedication. Even with these needs met, I often feel guilty leaving them and worry about them not having enough play or attention. Thomas kept them so entertained that that fear went away for the very first time. I have a cat with special needs and Thomas was so attentive to him and thoughtful in how he played with him and cared for him. I was touched that Thomas was engaged with my cats enough to develop a solid understanding of their personalities and have fun with them. His updates regularly made me laugh. I am so grateful he was the one to take care of my cats. To anyone else considering him as their rover, I expect that if you book him you will feel the same.”

About: I’ve spent the past four years in the Army and I am now beginning to transition back into the non- Army life. Within my years of military service, I learned discipline, routine, and how to stay calm in various high stress situations. In addition, I’ve had to learn to adapt to new environments. These are all skills that I would utilize in order to provide the best service I can to you and your pets. I am currently working full time in South Hadley. With this particular job, my schedule does tend to be quite chaotic- this meaning a shift could end in the early afternoon or late evening, since I currently work in the trades and schedules do tend to be hectic. But with that I have an incredibly understanding management team that allows time to those who need it to be put on shifts that will not go late into the day. Pet sitting 100% qualifies! A schedule specific to you and your pets needs can be discussed in the event you decide to reach out to me for a pet sitting opportunity:) I will care for any pet as if it was my own. At my home, I help with feeding, cleaning, and giving pills. Your pets safety and health is my top priority.

About: I have experience working with many different animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even cattle. I love spending time with animals and currently working as a veterinary assistant at a small animal clinic. I have lots of experience pet sitting and dog walking and also have experience working around livestock so no dog is too big! Walking your dog will be of great enjoyment for both myself and your pet and I will work to create a bond between me and your pet so that we both make the most of our time. I can’t wait to work with you and your fur baby! I work full time at a small animal clinic so pet sitting and dog walking is something I do on the side so I can spend more time with animals! If possible I like to meet dogs for the first time with their owner around to lower their stress and slightly away from their home if possible (particularly if they are known to be protective of their homes).

“Jessica was wonderful with my cats, left daily updates and photos and the house is in nice condition upon returning! She was very communicative and it was easy to schedule a meet and greet before the week began. I would definitely hire her again :-)”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for 15 years, and dog walked, cat sat, and housesat for various friends and neighbors, as well as grown up with cats and dogs. I’m currently in college with pretty open early mornings and afternoons, as well as free weekends. While my class schedule is not flexible, most afternoons and evenings are as I am primarily doing homework. I love going on walks and would love to take your dogs into north woods or around campus if they like people/ crowds! I follow house rules and will ensure that in my care your pets do to. I am comfortable crating dogs and keeping cats to allowed spaces. Additionally I know everyone has different routines and will adapt to make your pet most comfortable and follow what works for your household.

About: Hi! I've had pets my entire life — everything from tiny Pomeranians to energetic Boxers — so I'm comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like work to me; it’s something I genuinely love. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who enjoys long walks, playtime, and getting to know each pet’s unique, silly personality. I’m very patient, calm, and easy-going, which helps me handle a wide range of situations without getting stressed or overwhelmed. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and I love building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m available all day Wednesdays and Saturdays, and after 3 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I also have mornings free on Sundays! My schedule is somewhat flexible, so I'm happy to accommodate around these times if need be! I follow any instructions carefully and keep a calm, patient approach to help nervous or shy pups settle in. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making adjustments to keep them relaxed and happy. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities, and I create a loving, stress-free environment where your pup can relax and have fun!

About: I love all animals; I grew up with cats and dogs and a fat-tailed gecko named Jackson! I even raised a puppy with my college housemates, and we did an incredible job if I do say so myself. I take pride in my ability to connect with both animals and humans. I am highly emotionally intelligent and I really want to provide the best possible care for your fur babies as I possibly can. I have extensive experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including special needs pups. I am very active and would be willing take your pup on multiple walks (or even runs) a day. I am bilingual, so if your pup responds better to commands in Spanish, I can do that :) Hey there! Hola! I just recently reactivated my Rover profile after backing in Latin America for the last half a year or so; I don’t have any current full time employment, which means I have full days to devote to your adorable doggos (and/or cats). I grew up in Amherst and all of my family is still in the area. I also did hoy my MBA at UMass from 2016-18, so I’m very familiar with the area! Most of my Rover experience/reviews are from when I was living/working in California in 2023; I also had some sits in western MA last summer! Anyways, Hope to hear from you :) I am very communicative with all of my clients. I am happy to send as many updates and photos as my clients desire. I will treat your pet as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention they could possibly want! Please let me know any possible way that I can make you more at ease while you're away!

“Adrianne was the perfect person to watch or sometimes nervous elderly dog. She understood his mannerisms right away and was able to connect to him very quickly. We are excited to go away again so they can hang out one more.”

“Sophie was awesome with my cat! Even spent a Lil extra time with him ❤️ thanks Sophie!”

“I am so happy to have found Josh! In a very short amount of time, Josh has built a connection with Keaton and I haven’t witnessed Keaton being so comfortable and calm in someone else’s presence as he is with Josh. Today I watched them play “keep away”! That is HUGE for Keaton, who is cautious by nature, to allow someone to chase after him around the yard! It’s Josh’s calm energy, patience and kindness that is winning over my complicated elder gent. I highly recommend Josh and we are so very grateful to have found him!”

About: Growing up, I had the sweetest golden retriever you could ever hope to meet. Based on my life circumstances, I haven't been able to have a dog of my own since, but have spent a lot of time caring for friends' dogs---walking, feeding, grooming, playing with, and medicating as needed. For now, I'm between jobs, courses, etc., so my schedule is pretty open, and I can prioritize spending time with your animals as you see fit. As for safety inside, make sure that dogs don't have easy access to toxic foods and other dangerous objects that they could accidentally ingest. Same goes for garbage cans. For outside safety, proximity to the street and moving traffic is key. In general, I keep dogs on the leash unless we're in a fenced-in area, and alone. If we see another dog, I always check with the other people first to see if their dog is safe to socialize with.

“Mary did a great job caring for Pandy. She’s kind, reliable, on time and is good at communicating in a timely fashion. Will definitely use her service again in the future.”

Sophie K.

“Sophia is a sweetheart who really cares about taking good care of your pets! I felt like my kitties were in good hands with her and I know she did everything she could to make sure they had everything they needed while we were away. She kept in contact with me the whole time and sent me pictures which kept my mind at ease. I'll definitely be using her in the future!”
