House Sitting Appenzell

About: Hi! my name is Gillian, First and foremost I am an animal lover at heart. I have grown up with dogs all my life. Unfortunately in 2020 I lost my last childhood dog to cancer, she was my best friend and the best dog I’ve ever had. Due to my current living situation I am not able to have another and it is the first time I’m my life I’ve lived without a dog companion. For now I hope to give that love to other peoples dogs and be able to still interact and care for them as if they were my own. I have cared for dogs as well as cats, small animals, and reptiles. Large or active breeds do not intimidate me as I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! (ESPECIALLY pitties and larger breeds!) I have previously worked with dogs while volunteering at animal shelters and I also have experience as a dog supervisor at a doggie day camp. Animals are truly my passion in life and I am striving to find a career working with them professionally. I promise to treat each dog with tons of love and patience, as if they were my own. By the end of the day me and your dogs will be best friends! I am a student at NCC studying environmental science, I am currently taking 1 class so I will be unavailable Tuesdays until 1pm and Thursdays I am unavailable since I leave for my other job from class. I work part time Thursday-Saturday 2pm-9pm and I am out of the area on Sundays, so mornings on my off days or early afternoons are my most available times. I am willing to follow any routines or needs left for your pet and will make sure they are in safe supervised care at all times according to each pets needs

“I highly recommend her!! Tara did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. She was very respectful and gentle with my dog. From the moment I met her, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and would treat my baby like her own. She was punctual and shared a lot of information about my dog. Thank you Tara again”

“Daya was fantastic with Rico and Aquafina, as well as with the house! She was super patient with Rico (Chihuahua with separation anxiety) and Aquafina (cat) who loved her, even though Aquafina usually doesn't like anyone! She kept the house cleaner than when we left! And even vacuumed and washed the bed sheets before she left, which I didn't expect, but greatly appreciate! Our dog and cat were in great shape when we returned, not stressed at all!”

“Aaren was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She took good care of him and sent us pics and videos of him snuggling with her. Aaren has a unique understanding of dogs and we highly recommend her for sitting.”

About: I’ve taken care of other people’s dogs for friends and family whenever they’re out of town and it was always a great experience for me that I would love to do more often. I am currently a full time student at Northampton Community College and I am available Monday - Thursday 5pm - 10pm and anytime on Friday-Sunday. I interact with them as much as possible to keep them active and make sure they are fed the right amount of food and water and also take them out for walks when needed. For cats, I will regularly check their litter box as well.

“Lily is great, she house sit for us and took great care of the dogs and the house. Will definitely have her back!”

About: Having always had a pet in my home growing up as well as my family life. Animals are a part of a family just as a family member .. having trained and cared for dogs my whole life . I care for each one as if they were my own. They will have plenty of open space to roam around never unsupervised . We live on 2 acre property With our two dogs lots of fetching mad rope tug... After a day outside we all come in to rest . Our two dogs are caged at nite with all newbies are comfortable upstairs with my wife and I. Come share in the love and affection of our family... Having the time now in my life after my children have grown I now enjoy the company of animals where we can play fetch and enjoy the great outdoors if it is only in the backyard or on the deck of my home and or yours. I have and there's a line fence property as well as a lead where all can play with plenty of room. Or animals that need to be crated are as loved as well as I do to my two dogs. As a long play day in the yard

“Maurie has been a dream petsitter...she has a sixth in dealing with animals. Ever since we first contracted with Maurie to stay in our home and care for our four pets (two cats and two dogs), we've noticed distinct positive outcomes. Our pets are visibly calmer, happier, more rested, and less agitated and anxious. They all appear healthier and more trim. Maurie promotes long walks and consistent interaction with them, and she doesn't overdue giving them treats. Maurie is the greatest person...we recommend her wholeheartedly as a petsitter!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, including a Black Lab, Miniature Pinscher, Rottweiler, and German Shepherd. Being around such different breeds has taught me that every dog has their own personality, energy level, quirks, and way of showing you what they need. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs in my family. I regularly help care for my sister’s two dogs—a 1-year-old Corgi and a 13-year-old English Bulldog. Having both a young, energetic dog and a senior dog has given me an appreciation for how different their needs can be. One may want to play, explore, and keep you moving, while the other may need a slower pace, extra patience, comfort, and a little more attention. I also frequently care for a French Bulldog in my family when his dad needs someone he trusts to look after him. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog individually and learning their routines, personalities, favorite activities, and little quirks. I also have experience caring for Ozzie, my mom’s boyfriend’s 7-year-old Whoodle. Spending time with Ozzie has given me even more experience caring for an adult dog with his own personality, routines, and preferences. I enjoy taking the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy rather than assuming every dog needs the same type of care. And of course, I can’t forget Mochi, my boyfriend’s approximately 5-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix. Mochi is another special part of my life and has given me even more experience getting to know a dog’s individual personality, routines, habits, and quirks. Caring for him has also taught me that sometimes the smallest dogs have the biggest personalities! What makes pet care special to me is that I don't look at it as simply a job or a checklist of feeding, walking, and letting a pet outside. Your pets are family, and I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. I’m naturally very patient, attentive, and nurturing with animals. I pay attention to the little things—whether a dog needs some extra exercise, some quiet time, reassurance in a new situation, or simply someone to sit beside them and give them some love. I’m also comfortable giving pets the time and space they need to warm up to me rather than expecting them to immediately feel comfortable. Whether your pup is a playful youngster, a laid-back senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll take the time to understand what makes them happy and make their care feel as close to home as possible. And because I’m a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely believe that four little paws come with a whole lot of love—and deserve a whole lot right back. My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when available. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. I communicate openly with pet parents and do my best to be dependable and flexible with scheduling. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or visiting for a walk or drop-in, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications if applicable, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’m patient with pets who may be shy or take some time to warm up to someone new, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can recognize when something seems different. I’m also very mindful about doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and keeping pets safely supervised. I want you to feel confident knowing that while you’re away, your pet is receiving loving, attentive care and your home is being treated respectfully. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Lifelong animal lover. Although I’ve never had a dog of my own growing up (thanks mom), I’ve always been the go-to person for pet sitting within my family and immediate circle—even amongst my mom’s clients who trust me for comfort & care for their fur babies. I’ve been around animals my whole life so I feel like I’ve done it all (yes… even eaten kibble once 🫣), and I’m comfortable with pets of any size or breed—every pet is welcome! And, I’ll even come with my own treats! 🤍 Recently started an unexpected new job! 💼🐾 So, my schedule has changed a bit, but I’m still here for your fur-babies! I’m currently available before 9:00 AM or after 5:00 PM Monday–Thursdays, Fridays after 6:00 PM, & 12 pm on Saturdays, with Sundays being completely open! I’m always happy to work around you & your pet’s routine to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away! Currently, I’m not able to host pets in my apartment due to building rules 🤧 However I happily provide in-home sitting and drop-in care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I treat your home and pet with the same care I would my own—just elevated to a five-star level. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: Hi! My name is Samantha, and I’m a dependable, caring animal lover with experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I understand that pets are family, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, cleaning up after pets, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, trustworthy, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, cuddles on the couch, or extra playtime, I’m happy to provide care that keeps them happy and comfortable in their environment. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care, comfort, and interaction. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and extra cuddle or playtime. I enjoy keeping pets active, comfortable, and feeling at home while their owners are away. I have one friendly dog at home and a secure fenced-in yard where pets can safely play and get exercise. I can provide supervised outdoor time, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. If needed, I am also able to crate dogs for safety, comfort, or to maintain their normal routine. I always work to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and as stress-free as possible while they are away from home.

“Jessica and Guillermo were wonderful dog sitters!! They took amazing care of Duke while we were away. Sent lots of updates and tons of pictures. We’ll def be reaching out to them to sit for Duke in the future.”

“I cannot recommend Syd highly enough! She stayed at my home for two weeks while I was away and took amazing care of my Leo. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She kept me updated, gave Leo plenty of love, attention and care, and treated him like he was her own. Not only did she take wonderful care of Leo, but she also looked after the fish, watered my plants, and kept my house in great shape. Coming home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home was such a relief. She went above and beyond in every way, and I would absolutely book her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, Syd is the one!”
