“Took care of my two cats and did a great job! They warmed up to her very quickly even though they’re usually pretty skittish. I came home to find their dishes full and litter clean. She did a fantastic job of taking care of my babies”


“Devon has been great! She's gone out of her way to work with us and our dog, between coming out multiple times for meet and greets and different scenarios, and just overall making sure he's comfortable with her. I would highly recommend Devon and am so happy we found her.”


“Super appreciate the last minute accommodation while we had to step out for a long day, as well as the pics and card update to know how our baby did while Jorden was with him!!”


“We enjoyed vacation much more knowing that Kaitlyn was taking very good care of our two fur babies (cats). Kaitlyn is very prompt, friendly and communicative. We enjoyed getting photos and updates while we were away. 10/10 would recommend Kaitlyn if you are looking for a sitter. We will definitely be rebooking in the future ??”


“Heather is wonderful! We have an anxious reactive dog and Heather was understanding of her needs and was patient as she warmed up. Heather is very communicative and is a great caretaker! Thank you Heather!”


About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.

About: Proficient in providing dogs with stimulating and safe walks. Meticulous in following schedules with feeding. Comfortable and experienced in administering oral and topical medications. Knowledgable in basic dog first aid and safety protocols. As an owner of a 5 year old Golden Retriever since puppy age, and dog sitter, I have taken the responsibility of taking care of any dog! I strictly follow eating schedules and/or medication schedules. I pay as much attention as possible, as an owner of a golden this is a must! I make sure I leave a safe environment for my doggies. I attend to their needs whether it is to be by themselves, or get all the playing time they need!

“Kellee did a fantastic job with our kitties. Followed the feeding instructions. They can be difficult since one of our kitties is 19. She went over and above and brought in our mail. We will hire her again.”


About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, Small animals like mice, guinea pigs, fish, turtles. All way to farm animals like sheep, goats and even horses. Due to growing up in small town farming community. Currently I am supervising and helping my teenage daughter care for multiple miniature and full size horses in Leverett MA. I also have two wonderfully spoiled cats and a dog at home. Have some openings in evening and most weekends as at this time I do have a full time 9-5 job. Looking to see where this goes. I do not have fenced in yard but I keep my current dog on tie out or 50ft lead. Very quiet not normally traveled area around house with big yard to play. At clients home depends on environment there. Would prefer no off leash unless securely fenced area.


About: I have walked dogs of all different sizes, ages & breeds. I have also administered medications ( oral & topical ), changed bandages. I've loved animals my entire life & my client's pups/pets become "my" pets..in other words, I love them like they were my own. * I prefer to do "Meet & Greets" with potential clients and their pets prior to taking the "job", so not only do I and the pets get to meet, but the pet parent(s) & I can also meet & discuss any schedules, routines, etc. as well as go over any questions. I want to not only be comfortable with them, but I want the pet parent(s) & of course, the pets, to be comfortable with me as well. P.S. I’ve worked in many horse barns in my 20’s, so don’t hesitate to reach out for help ( even if it’s a one time thing :) I’m pretty available due to being on Social Security ( due to a major car accident in 2009), so I do this to not only supplement my income but because I love animals & it also helps me in multiple ways ( mentally, physically, etc.) I treat your home like my home in the sense that I become protective of the space ( & pets of course), I don’t like random people showing up/trying to enter the home without my hearing Directly from the homeowner. After I’m familiar w/ the way things typically are ( ex. what vehicle(s) are routinely there/not there then a “random” vehicle is suddenly there, I will be suspicious & notify the pet parent/home owner right away to make sure it’s ok to be there).

“This was my first time hiring someone to leave my pet and house while I was away for 10 days. Honestly, I was quite anxious till Georgine replied to me shortly after I sent a request.

Looking back now... I was so lucky that I went to Rover and chose Georgine. I highly recommend her.”
