“Grace is one of the best cat sitters that we've had! She asked a lot of great questions during our meet and greet which immediately put me at ease. Our kitties enjoyed their time with Grace and seemed to quickly warm up to her. Grace provided us with updates and reached out when something came up. She brought in the mail and packages too! We will definitely use her services in the future!”

About: At my home, we love our puppers and yours too! I have years of experience taking care of my own dogs at home from playtime, to potty, to feeding and walks. My dogs are treated like family and you can expect the same for yours. All walks, treats and belly rubs are given with love. 💕 I can be flexible. Daytime care Is located at my place of business in Northampton. Drops offs and pickups are also done in Northampton but overnight stays I bring the pups to my home in Springfield. If your coming to my home, I do have 2 male pups,1 years old. They are loving and friendly, and of course, fully vaccinated! I also have 3 children from age 5-13 but they're not always home at the same time so the house is never too wild. Our yard is spacious and fenced, so running and playing will always be an option. Between 10a and 5pm we mostly play inside with frequent short walks outside. After 5pm pups are able to run around outside in my fenced yard at home or we can take a good long walk.
7. Juliana T.
“Juliana was great with my dog Tobey! I’d hire her again in a heartbeat. I was dealing with a family crisis and couldn’t bring Tobey with me. Juliana put me at ease immediately, showing me that I wouldn’t need to worry about my Tobey and could focus on family. She obviously grew up with animals and knows how to give them a feeling of being home. Great communication, great style, true animal lover! I strongly recommend Juliana.”
8. Willow K.
“Willow is an awesome person who has been watching my cats for a couple of years. Sadly she just moved away to go to college. I have 4 indoor cats, 1 outdoor, and (most recently) 2 turtles. She has been dependable, even when there was weather, and I can tell the cats have had good attention when I get home. Hire her - she's great.”

11. Richard O.
“Richard was great with our young German Shepherd. Canoot will push boundaries if he can, and Richard kindly kept him in line. Canoot had a great time and needed a long nap after his play time. We are looking forward to the next play date!”
12. Minyuan L.
About: I have taken care of dogs of friends and family ever since I was a kid. I am very attuned to each individual’s needs; I read dogs’ body language before they feel the need to escalate to aggressive behaviors. I just graduated from college and I’m looking for various gig work to do. I currently do contract work as a medical interpreter, and the hours, though limited, are pretty random, so I can usually work around your schedule. Sadly, I rent and cannot care for another pet at my place. When caring for a pet at your place or on a walk, I follow safety principles, standard procedures, and your instructions, and on top of that, sometimes taking a more individualized approach based on your pet’s needs, preferences and mood.
13. Sonya M.
“Sonya is a wonderful pet caregiver! She is patient, intuitive and responsible. She has taken care of our two Great Pyrenees dogs a few times, and each time the experience has been wonderful. She is also very respectful of our space, and always leaves it very neat and tidy when she leaves. Highly recommended.”
