Top rated Amherst doggy day care sitters

“Mindy is an excellent, patient and understanding dog sitter. She watched our puppy for a few days, and made more progress with his loose leash walking than we’ve managed to! She’s a real animal lover, and it shows. Our puppy was super exited to see her when I dropped him off on his third day with her. He got to play in the backyard with other dogs, get accustomed to cats thanks to Mindy’s social Bengal mix, and got plenty of walks, exercise and cozy naps. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day.”


“We needed a last minute sitter for our senior dog Ash on a holiday weekend. Emmy was very responsive and willing to take her in. She took great care of Ash, attending to all of her needs, walking her multiple times, giving her attention, and making sure she got her medication. She was also great about sending us pictures and updates. Highly recommend Emmy for sitting or boarding!”


“Erica was absolutely wonderful. She made sure Millie had plenty of activities to do like walks, play mats, and treats. Pick up went seamlessly and she is very responsive and flexible. I appreciate her taking care of my dog!”



“Mary and Adam were great! Very flexible and easy to communicate with ahead of arrival and Cooper has a wonderful time playing. We would recommend them to anyone and we appreciate the care!!!!”


“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”


“Our pup Avocado had a blast with Beth’s three dogs, each of whom was an excellent host. Beth was responsive and caring, and exceptionally kind and understanding when Avocado had tummy issues due to the fact that he (unbeknownst to us at the time) ate some food that disagreed with him before we dropped him off.”


“This was a last minute booking and Holly was more than eager to watch our Anakin. Holly was a delight to meet, very friendly, outgoing, and personable. She was great with Anakin and sent us updates, pictures throughout the day and had him play with her dog and asked if she could give him things before providing anything. Holly made us feel at ease and Anakin was very happy when we picked him up and even got a new toy which he has not let go. We highly recommend Holly for your pet care needs and will use her again if we’re in the area. Thank you Holly!”


About: I have many many years of dog care experience. I grew up with high-strung Dalmations, raised children with Golden Retrievers , loved many Heinz-57s, and am currently a senior with a fabulous Golden Doodle. I’m a stay at home experienced “”Mom” who loves to work around the house (both inside and out) with my four legged friends as companions. On occasion I may make a run to Wegman’s however that kind of errand can be scheduled around my care of your dog. Our dog Chai is an integral member of our family. Chai usually follows me around both inside and outside the house. She loves having play dates with other dogs and is skilled at modifying her behavior to best suit her friends.

About: We’re the proud pet parents of Miss Maggie Moo, our sweet and spirited 3-year-old rescued Siberian Husky. Over the years, Jen and I have shared our lives with two other incredible dogs — Chompers, our beagle mix who was with us for 17 years, and Mia, our hound mix who truly was the heart of our home. Chompers taught us the gift of loving a dog through her senior years, while Mia showed us the deep care and attention that comes with supporting a pup with health challenges. We share this with you so you know your family member will be in kind, experienced, and loving hands. Their well-being is our priority, and we want you to feel confident and at ease knowing they’ll be cared for like one of our own. Jen works from home, so your pup will be treated like one of the family and will have her attention, 24/7. We do daily walks and have a fully fenced in back yard for play time. We have a very walk-friendly neighborhood and do morning and evening walks every day (in addition to regular potty breaks). We also have a fully fenced-in yard with a privacy fence. Maggie, our husky, is very friendly and does great with other friendly dogs. We do request for our guests to be crate-trained for sleeping at night. *No aggressive dogs, please.

“Kim was an absolute lifesaver, we really wanted to do Niagara Falls, but didn’t think it would be fair to bring our dog or leave her alone all day Kim stepped up as a dog sitter (last minute!!) and took excellent care of Mikko . She was easy to communicate with, very professional, and absolutely helpful in every way! I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again!”


“Bailey took wonderful care of my pup today! He had such a great time, and I could tell he was immediately comfortable and at ease with Bailey. She is very gentle, and so good with animals. Also, my pup has some health and spinal issues, and I felt totally comfortable leaving him in Bailey’s care. We’ll definitely be booking with Bailey again soon — highly recommend!”



About: I am very responsible and understand each dog is unique, and has their own special needs. I am a lifelong dog lover and have cared for dogs of all ages. My sons have worked a combined 8 years at a pet supply store, and have shared their dog product expertise. My family and friends are dog lovers, so there is an abundance of playmates, and plenty of wisdom. I will love your dog while I am with them, and create the environment that suits your dog. I will exercise them and make sure they have a stress free experience. I will send you daily photo updates. I’ve always been the go to person for family when pet sitting is needed, because my love for dogs always makes me say “yes, I’d love for your dog to come stay with me”. I have a park just three doors down from my home in case your dog needs to socialize with other dogs, and I can transport them to the dog park if they need to run a great deal. I work from home and can be very flexible. I’m an early riser but I follow your dogs routine as much as possible. Your pup will get lots of attention. I have some toys to entertain your pup. We will take a several walks each day (if your pup is up for it) and snuggle in the evening. I have a fenced yard and walkable neighborhood . There is a park just a few houses away and a large dog park a short drive away. Plenty of areas for your pup to run their energy out or just stroll for easy exercise. Your pup will be secure in my home with no opportunities to escape.

About: I have years of experience caring for and training animals, including my own dog and cat. I understand the unique needs of both energetic, playful pets and more independent or senior animals. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup, reinforcing training, or providing gentle care for older pets, I tailor my approach to each animal’s personality and needs. My hands-on experience has given me the patience, knowledge, and intuition to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Since I work in freelance Talor/Clothing Designer my schedule is OPEN! and I can work from anywhere. As a tailor and clothing designer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for pet care at various times throughout the day. Whether your pet needs attention in the morning, afternoon, or evening, I can adjust my availability to fit their routine and ensure they get the care and companionship they need. Overnight boarding are ACCEPTED if you need me to stay overnight and watch over your home and animals I got YOU covered. 😀 I provide attentive and personalized pet care in my clients' homes and on walks, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and well-cared for in their familiar environment. Whether it’s following their routine, providing playtime, administering medication, or giving extra affection, I tailor my care to their specific needs. On walks, I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, exploration, and training reinforcement. I also take my own dog to the local dog park regularly, so I’m experienced in managing social interactions and creating safe, enjoyable experiences for dogs of all energy levels.

It makes you feel safe and secure with your mind at ease because after all, you’re giving your pet to a stranger. She does give you updates and let you know how your baby is doing too! That way you know for sure they are in a good spot!”
