Pet Sitting Amherst

About: You're barking up the right tree with my services! I've had dogs since I was 5 and have provided dog care to my neighborhood, friends, and family for most of my life. I treat every pet as if they were my own and never go anywhere without dog treats in my bag. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and rescues and have taken care of many breeds ranging from Dachshunds to Border Collies to an 80 lb German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. Whether it's playing fetch for hours or snuggling on the couch your dog will be in great hands. I don't have a dog of my own right now so I have lots of doggie love to give :) If you're looking for someone dependable, fun, and want to help me stop asking everyone I see if I can pet their dog then give me a shout! I'm in school right now so I'm very flexible and am happy to work with my schedule and yours to take care of your pet. Your pet is family when they're with me and I prioritize safety and respect of both your pet and household. I will always respect your pet's space and comfort and ensure they're safe at all times. I treat a client's home as if it were my own: any mess will be properly taken care of (whether that be a shredded toy or a potty accident), everything gets put back in its proper place, and all spaces will be left just as they were found if not cleaner.

“Jacob M. was very professional at the Meet and Greet. It was so reassuring leaving Jerry in Jacob’s care. I’ll definitely use Jacob again in the near future.”

“Many thanks to Kathryn for doing a drop-in visit with my Australian Shepard who is recovering from surgery when I needed to be away for the evening. She was very patient with him walking around the yard while he did his business. I will book again.”

“Callie is a pro. On time for the date, excellent communication before, during and after the visit. This was the first time our 9 month old pup was left with a sitter and it could not have gone better. Thank you, Callie!”

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, having grown up with both of them. I have such a high fondness! I have trained 4 puppies in the past few years so I am well equipped to handle the littlest of rascals. I also have senior care experience and reactive dog care experience. I am a senior at the University of Southern Maine, and have classes on primarily Tuesdays and Thursdays. Due to my light load on my last year, I am able to have high availability throughout the week especially mornings and afternoons. I do my best to provide as happy of an experience possible for the pets. I give them lots of pets, love, food, water, and whatever else is required for their care. If they need to be crated or put in a carrier I am able to do that. I am also able to trim nails or give medicine or anything of the sorts!

“Susan genuinely cares about the pets she watches and gave our kitty, Ginger more love and attention with each visit than we could have wished for. I highly recommend her for pet care, especially for drop-in visits. She’s in a class all her own and will be our go-to provider forever.”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they were always a part of my life, and caring for them came naturally. Both of my parents shared that same love for animals, so I was raised in a home where pets were treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. That love has stayed with me into adulthood. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, and there's always plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing—whatever makes them feel most at home. When your pet stays with me, they won't just be looked after—they'll be welcomed into a home where they're treated with the same love, care, and respect I'd want for my own pets. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that's going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home while their family is away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under my supervision. I never leave pets outside unattended, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of love and attention.

About: Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’ve lived my entire life. From hermit crabs and guinea pigs to dogs, cats, and even farm animals through veterinary science programs, I’ve cared for animals of all sizes, personalities, and needs. What truly sets me apart is that I respect animals for who they are. I understand body language, boundaries, and temperament — especially with cats, who require patience and trust. I don’t force interaction. I don’t rush visits. I create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels understood. Your pets aren’t just appointments on my schedule — they’re individuals, and I treat them like family. I currently work full time as a dental assistant at a small, local office. I am typically available evenings starting at 5:00pm, and free all day Friday- Sunday! My cats are truly my babies, and their happiness and safety shape how I care for every pet. We recently moved into a large townhouse specifically so they would have more space to explore — three full floors to run, climb, and play. Creating an enriching environment for them was important to me, because I believe cats thrive when they have room to move and feel stimulated. They even have their own dedicated cat room (yes — the spare bedroom belongs to them). It’s filled with endless toys, cozy spots, scratchers, and safe hiding places where they can relax or play whenever they want. Out back, they have access to a secure, fenced-in area on our private patio within an additional fenced yard — giving them safe outdoor enrichment while staying fully protected. I believe cats deserve more than just basic care — they deserve intentional space, enrichment, safety, and love. That’s the same level of thought and attention I bring to every cat I care for.

“Emily was so wonderful and attentive taking care of our pups while we were away. I would 100% use her again and will recommend her to others.”

“Mikayla was prompt, friendly, and communicative. She met the needs of our two very different cats, including dispensing medication for one of them.”

About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I have been working with animals for over 10 years now. I have owned my own pet sitting business since I was young and have worked in kennels and dog daycares. I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my favorite! I am currently a full time dog trainer so I have experience with all breeds, ages and temperaments so please let me know if you are interested in my services, I would love to meet you and your dog! I also am able to do a little training with your fur baby while I stay with them if needed! I will make sure that your dog is well cared for and well loved, I love hiking, walking and just being outside so your pup will get lots of exercise when with me. I work full time, but usually get out of work on the earlier side and sometimes work can be flexible with hours so if I have to change them I can try. When I sit in your home I am very respectful. I will keep your house clean and take care of your dog as if they were my own.

“Robert did a fantastic job doing check in visits with our dogs! He was very communicative and attentive, even making sure they they drank water after their walks. Highly recommend!”

“Melissa's drop-in visit was prompt for the time requested. The pups loved spending time with her and she provided super pictures of her visit. I can highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.”

About: As an early teen, I walked dogs and pet sit for my neighbors for a few years. I was always reliable and on time. I let the client set the route they prefer their dog to walk, and I always take into account the dogs varying personalities and needs. I was doing HVAC but unfortunately I was laid off. I figured I’d do what I love and that is taking care of pets! Since I’m laid off I can do anytime and soon I will be able to do weekends as well. I have a big yard and I live in a quiet neighborhood. I live in a circle so it is a great walk with uphill and downhill!

About: I am such a big dog lover that has loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. I am very passionate about dogs and I believe that dogs deserve the best care they need. I have been taking care of dogs and walking dogs ever since I was a little girl. I will take your dogs to the vets or trail locks if anything were to happen. If you’re going on vacation or if you need a dog walker I will be there for your dog and I will give your dog the best attention it needs and I will play with your dog and love your dog as well. Your dog will definitely have such a fun time with me because I will spoil it in the best way as possible. I am working a full-time job Monday through Friday and I’m available to take care of your pets right after I get out of work at 3:30 PM and I have full availability on weekends. I offer housesitting at the client’s house only. If I were to have animals at my house. My yard is partially fenced in, but not fully.

“Meg came to meet Aries ahead of time so we all felt great about visits. She showed up on time and took really great care of him! Will be booking again!”

Jessica K.

“Elizabeth was amazing! Our dog & cat both loved her, even though our dog can be skittish with strangers. Both of them wanted to pay more attention to her than me during our meet and greet! She was perfect with them & took multiple pictures each visit, which we loved seeing. We will definitely be having Elizabeth watch our babies in the future!!”
