Doggy Day Care in Blandford

“Bruno had a wonderful time at Kathleen's beautiful place! The fully-fenced in green space for the dogs was so peaceful I wanted to stay myself. Kathleen has a calming manner which the dogs respond well too. I am contemplating more trips to the Berkshires now that I know Bruno has a safe place where he will be happy and well taken care of while I spend time at Jacob's Pillow or museums. Thank you!”

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 a 10-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! 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.

“Miss Megan is great! JJ loves going to visit whenever we’re in town and I feel so confident that he is safe and happy with her. She does a great job keeping him quiet and calm until I come back. Thank you, Miss Megan ♥️”

About: I am a loving and attentive dog owner. I love nothing more than to take care of my K9 friends. I have always had a dog and currently one. I understand that all dogs have a big personality with a lot of understanding required. I am just as happy running with a dog as I am a quiet day of relaxation indoors. Whatever your pet needs I provide. I take pride in understanding my pets needs. It can be hard when their owner is always gone at work but I can help relieve some of that anxiety. I’ll work within your pets restrictions and needs to better suit them and to make sure they feel at home! Give me a call if you need! I’m a professional artist and I work from home so dog care needs fit well into my life. I have a dog of my own and a cat as well that are both well loved. My environment is very well suited for pet care. I have a social elderly dog and a sweet kitty who’s very friendly. We have a big yard, spacious house and pet friendly environment. Pups always get two walks a day and plenty of attention:

“Thank you so much for your understanding and care. She had such a great time and slept all the way home. Wish you lived closer because I know Mei would love to visit again. She is so shy and you really became friends fast. You are the best!”

“We had such a good first experience yesterday, that we asked of Pluto could return for a second visit right away. Pluto’s joy to find himself back with Ashley and family this morning confirmed how well looked after he’d been. Thank you! We will be back”

About: Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. As a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home professional, I’ve created a cozy, peaceful space where pups can feel right at home while their humans are away. I only host one dog at a time (unlike many petsitters), so your pup will be treated like family and get my full attention (and all the belly rubs they deserve). I specialize in anxious pups who do not like being with other dogs and do not like being alone - I keep my pup clients as close as they like and give them as much attention as they prefer. My husband and I have two children, 8 and 10 years old, who are very gentle and loving with dogs. We treat our guest pups like they were are own while they’re with us! All our doggy guests are welcome to make themselves at home—on the couch, in the sunny spots, wherever they’re happiest, I do not confine them to one room/zone of the house - no pet gates here! I have a large, unfenced backyard with a dog run for zoomies and potty breaks and we love getting out for walks too. I also have experience with senior dogs and administering medications, so if your pup needs a little extra TLC, they’re in good hands. If you’re looking for a quiet, cozy home-away-from-home where your dog will be loved and spoiled, I’d love to be their sitter! Please note: unfortunately we have an allergy in our home to short-haired shedding dogs and can only accept long-haired (hypoallergenic) dogs :) I'm home all day to spend time with your pup and treat them like they were my own! My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re still at home, ensuring they experience joy and companionship until you return. I will send regular updates and photos to reassure you that your furry friend is thriving and enjoying their time. We have a large un-fenced backyard with a run hooked-up for your pup to spend lots of time outside. We also love to take walks down our street and at the local park. If your pup has some leash aggression with other dogs, we can walk them in our large private backyard to ensure they get exercise but without the stress other dogs may cause. If they’re house trained they do not need to be crated unless it’s their preference. In the house, I allow our doggy friends on furniture (unless you specify otherwise) and in all rooms of my home. They will not be separated in a different room or crated, unless you specify otherwise.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they are part of family. They just make everything better. We have a Bernese Mountain dog of our own who is a very spoiled guy I currently work at home and my office window looks right into yard so if the pups are outside playing I can see them at all times. I have a fenced yard. They are pretty much allowed to roam the whole house. Sleep on the bed, couch, wherever is comfortable for them

About: Hello, we are Desire and Coco. I have 10 years of experience with dogs and other animals, and Coco has 1.5 years experience chasing balls through the park. Growing up on a farm, I had many different animals that I helped care for and love. We make sure to stick to a routine, I give her lots of attention, and I will make sure that every dog feels just as comfortable, safe, and loved while visiting with us. I offer cozy, in-home care just for dogs. With a playful 1.5 year old dog of my own, I’m experienced in keeping pups happy, active, and well supervised🐾 I'm currently working part time from home, so I will be available to play and take care of your dog. My schedule is flexible, just let me know if your dog has a specific routine and I will be more than happy to follow it. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 1.5 year old dog to keep your fur baby company. Our yard is perfect for when the zoomies hit and free from chemicals and/or salt. There is also front row seating if your dog enjoys people watching.

“Shawna was a great sitter. My dogs are never tired. But they were worn out when I picked them up so I know they got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Shawna!!”

“Angie was fantastic! I needed a last minute day care sitter for my dog while I had an event in the city near by, and she was able to accommodate my early morning pick ups/late night drop offs, and was even able to do it herself since I didn’t have a vehicle. I got constant updates, and my dog was super happy and excited to see angie each morning! Highly recommend!”

“So far, so good, with Emma as our latest dogsitter. Gives great reports during the day so we have a good impression how our dog is doing...:)”

About: I sincerely LOVE getting to know each individual dog's personality (quirks and all!) and learning about what makes them happiest. I have many years of experience: walking dogs in NYC & in Western Mass; pet-sitting for my friends', neighbors' and partner's dogs (as well as for other types of pets). I create a warm, nurturing and happy environment for my precious furry friends to thrive. (Please note: on the days that I'm available (see calendar), I am free from 11 AM to 5:30 PM.) I'm currently working part-time as a educator (tutor) so I have ample time to provide dog care (walking, drop-in day care and boarding) during the week, Mon-Wed and Thurs-Friday. On occasion, I may be able to board dogs during the weekend. I live in an extremely peaceful, quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood (the Plains of Easthampton) toward the end of a cul-de-sac. So there is almost no cars or traffic here. I do have a front & back yard. Although it is not fenced, it is backed by trees and, as mentioned, almost zero traffic

“Benny had a great day playing with Mylo at Saige’s!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She watched my 9 week old puppy and provided me with updates. Karen was also flexible. I had to change my drop-off and pick-up time during one of the days that she watched my puppy; and Karen made it work for me. I's super thankful.”

She has a lot of care and compassion for animals and its clearly evident by how she interacts with them. Our pup was happy as could be when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Karina!”
