Cat Sitting in Belchertown

“Katie’s awesome! So friendly and helpful and genuine. I was in a bind and so lucky to have her take care of our dog for the day. It took the stress away not having to worry about our dog’s care-you can tell she cares. She went out of her way to be tidy and even took our dog on long walks despite the rain! We will definitely use her again!”

“Lilly did great with our cat, Cranberry. She administered meds, fed her, and sent us photos. We’ll definitely book her again.”

“Sounds like Kai has a new friend. Thanks for accommodating the earlier start time. Let me know if you have success with her not jumping. It’s her love language but most people don’t care for it. Hoping as she gets more accustomed to her new home, she’ll be able to stay home ithiut the crate but not yet.”

“Kai has a new friend. Please let her out to pee when you arrive as well as before you have for the visit.”

About: I have been a Petsitter since I was young. Whether it’s just going for walks or overnight stays. All pets welcome no fear over here. From cats to reptiles and anything in between! I’m comfortable working with reactive pets & pets with medical needs. I rescue through halfway home cat rescue were I’ve had many medical recovery kitties on top of feral kitties. I’m creative with getting things done carefully and safely for your pets. As a pet sitter, safety is my top priority. I make sure to follow all instructions provided by pet owners to ensure their pets are well cared for in a secure environment. I am experienced in recognizing signs of stress, discomfort, or illness, and I always act quickly to address any concerns. Whether it's securing the house, keeping pets away from hazards, or following medication schedules, I'm committed to providing a safe and stress-free experience. I work 4 days a week at my job. It gives me the flexibility to be available early morning and evening with overnight as well I currently have a full home so I do not care in my own home. But I am more then available for in home visits and overnight if needed!

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. I have two dogs, a German Shepherd and a husky so I have experience with larger dogs. I love every and all kinds of animals and I’ll give your animal the love and care it needs to not even notice you’re gone. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine, especially since I’m on winter break from college. I don’t have classes right now, so my schedule is super flexible and I have a lot of free time during the day. That makes it easy for me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins without being rushed. I’m usually home, so I can give pets lots of attention and keep up with their normal routines. Winter break gives me the time to be reliable, patient, and fully focused on caring for pets. unfortunately, I live in a college dorm so I will not be taking care of pets at my home due to university restrictions, and lack of space

“Astrid did an amazing job taking care of my cats, Button and Dice, while I was away for 8 days. She checked in on them consistently, kept me updated every day, and made sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I could tell from her messages and videos that they were happy and at ease with her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Astrid, for taking such great care of Button and Dice!”

“It was such a relief to know Jacklyn would be checking on our girls while we were away. We also had to reschedule very last minute and she was incredibly flexible and kind about the changes. Our cats are very shy and hide, but with a bit of patience (and treats!) Jacklyn was able to get eyes on at least one of them! We will absolutely be rebooking the next time we go away. Thank you so much!!”

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.

About: My household currently contains 2 black cats and a pitbull mix! I live for the chaos and love that animals bring into a home! I have potty trained young puppies, given an inhaler to a stubborn cat and many more things! I have a flexible full time work schedule and I often come home at lunch or work from home to hang out with my pets. I prefer to keep pets in their familiar environment and visit them. I find that reduces stress and allows for me to build a better relationship with the animal.

About: I am a cat mom and lover of all animals! I have experience with many types of animals, from cats and dogs, to reptiles and birds, to farm animals. I currently have a medically needy pet of my own, so I am well-versed in medicine administration and caring for animals with different needs. I am currently working at a school, so I have afternoons and weekends pretty much free! While I am caring for your pets, they are my number one scheduling priority. I will meet your pet where they are at in their own home, allowing them to stay in their safe space. I will adapt to their routines and give them a seamless experience until you return to them!

About: I grew up with a dog in my home and as I assisted my parents in taking care of her through the different stages of life, I've gained experience in puppy, middle-aged, and senior dog care. I also have experience in walking multiple (two maximum) dogs at once of different temperaments and ages! Currently, I am a small pet owner (2 guinea pigs!), so I do have an understanding of routine, food portioning, enrichment for pets, etc. For drop-in visits: I can come up to two times a day on Mon/Weds/Fri, and only once on Tues/Thurs. I can do early mornings (between 7-8:30 AM) on Mon/Weds/Fri or anytime after 6:00 PM on most weekdays. For Saturdays and Sundays, I'm available for most of the day! For walks: Walks will be 30 minutes in length. I can only fit in one walk per day, but can do it several times a week. Walks can be in the afternoon, most days after 6 PM Mon-Fri, or in the mornings on Mo/Weds/Fri between 7-8 AM For home visits, I'm happy to provide your pet with whatever they need (food, water, play time, etc.). For walks, I can walk up to two dogs at once. Please let me know if you have any normal routes you take, parks nearby, etc. I will also need to know how they interact with other dogs and people to make it the safest experience for your pets!

“Natalie was great! Communicated with us throughout, sent lots of pictures, and wrote thoughtful, entertaining updates for each visit. We hope Natalie will be available next time our cats need a sitter!”

I have 5+ years of professional experience working as an assistant manager at a busy dog daycare & boarding facility in Maine, along with several years of private dog walking and pet sitting experience. Caring for dogs has become my full-time passion, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality and routine.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since the beginning of high school. I have dogsat for family and friends, and friends of them as well. They have relied on me to feed, walk, and stay with their pets when they are away.

I always clean up after myself and make sure to clean from the pet as well. I follow the rules and expectations of the house owner.

“Wonderful visit and walk. My pet seemed very happy and he was very accommodating to book last minute. My pet instantly liked him, like he has a way with pets.”

During the week I like to walk early mornings before 8am and after 4pm when I get out of work. On the weekends I'm available all day long! All animals are deserving of genuine care and respect, I will treat yours like my own. While walking I know it's my responsibility to avoid dangerous situation before they happen.

Exercise is always a part of my day whether it just be a walk in the sun, or a trail run and I would love to bring your pet along. I am very reliable and working in the service industry for 8 years now I never leave a job unfinished or without double checking my work. I am sure to not only take general safety measures, but also leave a space clean and full of love!
