“Ace is great! They showed up on time. Provided pics all night. our puppy was very well cared for. Will definitely use Ace again. Thank you Ace!”

“Camryn cared for my Labrador Retriever overnight in my home. She was on time and fulfilled our agreement to the letter. She gave my guy his meds, fed him and took him out to play in the yard. She followed all of my instructions and I would be very happy to hire her again.”

“Nikki and Britney were highly communicative and very sweet with our two dogs over the five days we were out of town. Lots of photos, notes about food and play time, and they left the house very neat ! Thanks again !”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for 30 years. I got my first pet 40 years ago. I have experience as a vet assistant at Banfield Animal Hospital for 7 years. I work full time in Amherst and I am available for walks before and after work and boarding on the weekends. I can board during the week if your pets schedule allows. I have a fenced in backyard and an indoor cat. I have an indoor space for indoor pets and my home is open to fur babies with amenities for cats and dogs.

“Ashley has walked, watched, and even visited my dogs. You can tell she truly loves animals and I trust her completely with taking care of my animals because of how much she cares for them.”

“Sincerely I consider Jessica a best fit for anything that includes her passion which are animals she has also been able to walk bathe and baby sit one of my own she I amazing at what she does and has a creative way of connecting with animals .”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager into early adulthood. I got my own dog in 2010 and worked tirelessly with her with countless certified dog trainers, only to become a certified dog trainer myself in 2016. I own my own massage therapy practice and can work with your dog while in my care. As stated, I do own my own massage therapy business, but I can make my own schedule to take breaks when I need for feedings and potty breaks/walks. I did it with my own dog for over 12 years. My weekends are free, so your pup would have my undivided attention, play dates and hikes. I have a fenced in yard at my house, plenty of open space inside, and if your pet needs to be gated off, or crated I can accommodate however you see fit. If these options do not work, I can always close the bedroom door and have your pet sleep with me. I provide plenty of water, and whatever regime you have your pet on with medications or feeding, I can take care of.

“Shelly was amazing with my dog Bowie and my cat Tinkerbell. I knew they were in great hands while I was away with family. She was checking in often with photos and updates, and took Bowie on a couple adventures too! Extremely happy to find someone I trust with my animals.”

“Joann did a phenomenal job with or babies Stewie and Coco! Coco can be very barky and Joann was so patient with her. By the time I got back Coco was totally calm with Joann! Both of the dogs seemed very happy with her. Also, Joann went above and beyond and walked to the Pet store next door and got a toy for Coco. Coco truly liked the toy you could tell! I would highly recommend Joann to anybody looking for a kind and patient sitter for your babies!”

“Kaspar was great! Communication was awesome and we were super relaxed knowing our dogs were in Kaspar's care. Our dogs loved him and he was super diligent in accommodating all the dogs' needs regarding feeding, potty, etc. We noticed such a difference when coming home to our dogs, they were so much more relaxed than if they would've been alone for some hours. We'll definitely ask Kaspar to look after our dogs in the future!”

“We asked Rachel to come to our house overnight to stay with GG. She was awesome with her!!! Several walks , cuddles, and perfect attention to GG needs.Rachel also took GG for a ride in her car, which GG absolutley loves to do!!! We would have her back to look after GG in a heartbeat!!!!”

“I’m afraid to leave this outstanding review because I don’t want anyone to steal our dogs new favorite sitter. It’s so hard to find a reliable, honest and trustworthy sitter for our 14 year old “puppy”. Caitlin kept in contact with me, sent photos, and even took Elliot on short walks (which wasn’t required ). I don’t think our dog wanted us to come home. I’m so glad I found her and looking forward to using her again.”

“Alissa is wonderful. Excellent communicator, gave great updates and sent pics. She made sure they had great walks and lots of fresh air. Would definitely use her again!”

About: I've taken care of pets since the age of 8. Dog walking, feeding, treats, homecare. I've had a rabbit, three dogs, hamsters and two cats throughout my life. Im a stay at home mom who can work full time. My 9 yr old is also really good with pets. So day and night we are available. I can keep at my home or your home it's up to you. We currently don't have a big yard but we will soon. If they just need a walk I can help with that.

“Abbie takes very good care of any animal she is responsible for. She has been dog sitting for almost 3 years for multiple friends of ours staying in the home so the pet is comfortable.”

“Briana was recommended by a friend. She came for a meet&greet, and our dogs took to her immediately. One of our dogs is a senior, and we were nervous to leave her, but Briana's experience with dogs with medical issues put us at ease. While away, she checked in often, including photos of our happy dogs! She was very communicative and responsive letting us know how our older dog was eating. We would absolutely use her again and recommended her to others.”

About: I have personally learned with professional trainers and will dedicate my time to their needs so that can be safe and most importantly have fun. I am a dog training apprentice and have most of my day free to myself and my dogs, so I would like to help others who might not have the time in their schedule. I have good yard space and the materials your dog needs to enjoy their time with me and my dogs. Introduction to my dogs will not happen unless approved my owner and environment allows for everyone to meet. Other than that your pet will have a kennel to stay in, toys to play with, and an environment to explore.

“Ashley has watched our two dogs twice now. She came over for an afternoon dog walk and another time she stayed at our house to watch both pups for 3 days and 3 nights. We couldn't be happier with Ashley. She was very communicative, send updates and pictures daily, and took amazing care of our house. She is flexible and was not phased when our plans became a bit fluid. We will 100% book with Ashley again.”
