Pet 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!”

About: I grew up with dogs and love every dog I’ve met. I’ve been caring for dogs (and cats, chickens, pigs) for the last 10 years. I’ve cared for all sizes and breeds, mostly in their homes while their families go on vacation. This includes puppy and older dogs, following any instructions and keeping their routines. I currently work full-time. I typically do weekends (Friday-Sunday), but am available for extended or week long stays, if the dogs are typically okay for 8+ hours or another sitter to come let me out during the day. I make sure they are fed and have gone out before I leave and feed them and let them out when I get back and make sure it sit them with outside when the weather is nice. Dog sitting at the dogs home causes the dogs less anxiety and keeps them comfortable while they miss their family. I love when they are comfortable, show all their quirks, and get into their favorite spots. With providing at home sitting, the dogs don’t have to handle the stress of their family being gone and going to a new place, which every dog reactions different too. All the dogs I care for, I’ve seen the benefits of being in their house with them

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

“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’ve had all kinds of pets throughout my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. 2 of those dogs are massive, and one is small. I get the best of both worlds and know how to treat all kinds of dogs. Pet care is something I do at home on a day to day basis. It’s something I enjoy and it’s something I’m good at. If I can help other people while enjoying what I’m doing, I’d say that’s a big win. When I sit at other peoples homes, I take into account the pets behaviors and the spots they tend to spend the most of their time in. Frequently checking in, giving them space when needed, spending time with them, those are all important factors.

“Jacklyn did a great job taking care of my cat Sully on short notice! She sent multiple pics, gave good updates, and followed my care instructions as I had sent them. Have used her in the past and will continue to going forward!”

“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!”

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. He is a little guy but has tons of energy, and loves to make friends with all people or other dogs. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but still loves playing with Chico when they are together. On all of my bookings, I like to provide constant attention to your pet to ensure they have as much care as possible. With the pets I've met so far, it was always a ton of fun hanging out with them, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon!

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.

My goal is to provide peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and sticking to their usual routine.

About: I have both professional and personal dog care experience While I was growing up, there was always at least one animal in our house. I also have experience training puppies for an organization called Custom Canines Service Dog Academy (CCSDA), out of Madison, WI. With CCSDA, I raised two golden retrievers, one who went on to become a total access service dog for a veteran and her family. Training includes a lot of socialization and bringing the dogs everywhere to get them used to being out in public and working amidst distractions as well as obedience and special skills training. I most recently worked in Ely, Minnesota at a sled dog yard. Responsibilities included feeding dogs, handling the dogs, basic doggie first aid check-ups after each run and more while managing the working dogs. I have learned a lot about animal behavior through those experiences, and I am very comfortable around all types of dogs. Currently I am in a bit of a transition, I just got back from traveling and I am in GB, working and taking a class. Using this as a side gig to make a little bit of extra money before I move to Maine in the spring. I am available on weekdays between 9 am and 9 pm and most weekends as well. I can be pretty flexible as to which days and times I am available, so just reach out and we can work something out! I am living with three dogs at the moment. My family has two loving labs (7 & 5) who get on well with each other and other dogs. My sister also has a golden retriever in the house who is 1 year old. I love to take the three dogs for walks around the neighborhood and because they are friendly and get on well with other dogs, we occasionally make trips to the dog parks in the area. It is unlikely, but if I have one of the dogs with me, I would definitely clear that to make sure it is okay with you and your pets first.

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.
