Cat Sitting Amherst Center

“Our two cats really liked Mickala. She went above and beyond helping us with several situations such as trimming a cat's nails and cleaning up some ants which got into the auto-feeders.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a kid, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I recently joined the Massachusetts National guard in order to achieve my bachelor’s degree debt free, I plan on eventually transferring to the CT National Guard and joining their Veterinary Corps. I currently own a high-energy Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix I rescued, and I’ve also cared for an elderly Shih Tzu who needed lots of special attention and patience. I’m very work-oriented, reliable, and people have told me I’m great with customer service. Neighbors, friends, and family often count on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. As a full-time student, I’ve built a schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I also work at a doggy daycare in Avon, CT, so my work schedule usually varies throughout the week. I’m happy to communicate my availability ahead of time and work with each pet parent to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I’m generally more flexible on days I’m not working and can often accommodate evenings and weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Working at a doggy daycare has given me experience handling dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to their body language and routines and always make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise, attention, rest, food, and potty breaks. I also understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow each pet’s specific routine and their owner’s instructions.

About: I may not have a bunch of years of pet care like others on this app, but one thing I know is that I truly LOOVE pets. I’m patient, dependable, and eager to learn while giving pets the attention, affection, and respect they deserve. I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats and I can confidently say I loved them and deeply cared for them while I had them. Now I wish to spread my love and care to other pets.❤️ Im currently in school, I’m an undergarduate student at UMass Amherst. My class schedule varies: monday, tuesday, thursday usually being my heavy days; wednesday, fridays and weekends are way lighter (chances of me being able to take care of your pet are WAY higher during these days!). We can figure something out if anything ! I take safety and trust very seriously. I follow pet owners’ instructions carefully, keep environments clean and calm, and make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated with patience and respect at all times.

About: I have grown up with pets, and the responsibilities that come with them. I love animals and always care for them like one of mine. My daily schedule ends by 1 everyday so I have plenty of time after classes to hangout and care for your pets. We will have a great time. Your pets safety and care comes first above all. I will follow your wants and needs when taking care of your baby. (we’ll have some fun too of course)

About: What sets me apart from other is the year of animal handling and experience. I am currently a third year Animal Science student at Umass Amherst, and I am a graduate from Nashoba Techs vet assisiting program in Westford MA. During school breaks I am available most times during the day both weekdays and weekends(I am more than willing to discuss more in detail with specifics if needed). While back at school I am available in late afternoons during week days and most of the day during weekends. I also am not able to keep your furry friend at my home for extended periods of time, but I am more than willing to go hangout with your pal in their own home. I have my own car with a pet seat cover if needed so I am able to take the higher energy pups on some hikes or more interesting adventures. I personally love being outside so don't be surprised if me and your furry friend catch up on some homework in the sun. Also don't worry about bathroom breaks I will make sure that whoever needs it can go outside whenever needed.

About: I have 30 years experience with puppies through seniors - healthy through special needs. I have 20 years experience pet sitting for dogs and cats. Training for puppies on leash walks through walking seniors in a stroller. My dogs have ranged from disabled chihuahuas, big German shepherds, and lively beagle mixes. I excel at bonding and building trust with pets and look to have a unique connection with each one. Be ready for lots of photos and videos - I believe in updates and communication throughout my care of your fur family. My goal is to treat them like family - provide them with comfort and safety. I am currently working part time (remotely) and fully available to care for your pets, play with them, give them all the attention, care, and love they deserve! Morning, afternoon, evening, late night care is well within my timeframe. Caring for your dog: I will only walk on leash - no unleashed care unless within a fully fenced backyard. If you are training your dog, I will be able to continue with training. I am able to administer medication if needed. If your dog has any allergies or requires special food, please be sure to let me know. Happy to perform brushing or baths if needed. Pets, hugs, playtime, or lounging and relaxing - whatever their preference and makes them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. As for caring for your cats, I request a full schedule of their feeding times, and recommendations as to what they enjoy playing with. If they like to be brushed, please note. If they are skittish or love attention from people, please let me know so I can provide them with a level of care that will allow them to feel safe.

“Excellent communication. Booked on short notice. The dogs loved her.”

“Maya is the most wonderful cat & house sitter imagineable! She is very caring towards my senior maine coon cat who can be very noisy in the mornings. He is in good spirits in her company and happy when I return. Maya is a perfect fit for our pet and home & I hope to have her continue to care for both in the future.”

“Lily was extremely helpful when my previously booked sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was friendly and able to respect our home's dietary restrictions. She was a lifesaver! My senior car was cared for, and the house was in order upon our return. Lily provided occassional updates on how things were going and a few photos. She always responded quickly to messages despite a time difference. We'd be open to hiring Lily again.”

About: When it comes to leaving your pet in trusty hands there’s no one better than someone who has fur babies themselves! I know the feeling all to well of needing to head out of town and allowing someone into your living space. I’m happy to help keep some semblance of routine and normalcy for your furry friend while you’re away! Please feel free to share their routine, and favorite things! I work full time in a medical office so I do not have the flexibility of leaving during the day. However I’m free on weekday evenings and the weekends are far more flexible! I am happy to follow routines typically done in your home for your companion while you’re away. Please share any of their favorite treats, foods, toys and spots for pets or belly rubs. As well as things they may fear or hate!

About: I have had small animals and a dog, and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, and fish. I am completely in love with all creatures big or small, and I've dedicated a lot of my time to the care of animals. I have recently worked at a dog boarding facility, so I have lots of experience with administering medication to animals, and tending to their specific needs. Me and my family are all super passionate about animals, especially dogs. I will love your baby just as much as I love my own, and make sure all their needs are met. My weekdays are not typically very busy so I can come and take your dog for a walk or play with your cats pretty much any time, given enough notice. Thank you so much for considering me to care for your best friend! I try to vary my jobs so my schedule changes often, but always ask! I am currently getting my BSN at HCC, but time management is no problem for me :) I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a big field to the side of my house that my dog runs around in. I'm sure your pets will enjoy running with him. In terms of taking care of pets in my client's homes, I treat their belongings with utmost care and tact. I would definitely dislike anyone messing with my house, so I try to treat other people's houses with the same respect I would expect them to treat mine with. "leave everything as you found it or better"

“She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.”

About: early years, my family were training Morgans for the Kentucky Derby. It had been an exhilarating journey, one that beautifully intertwined skill, patience, and a profound bond with these majestic horses. Each horse is unique, deserving of personalized training that not only harnesses their incredible speed and agility but also fosters a deep connection between horse and trainer. As l've grown, my focus has shifted from merely training to cherishing those heartfelt connections, as they truly enrich my life. Alongside my passion for equine training, I find immense joy in the companionship of dogs and cats, nurturing their spirits It’s all I do - besides writing. I chose to step Away from The chaos of the world to care for my own well being by taking care of animals. With respect, kindness and love as I would expect in my own home and with my own pets. Pets bring joy and peace to my life.
