About: I have had dogs growing up all my life. I am currently s bio (pre - vet) major with experience from internships in animal care. But its not just about the skills I’ve gathered, I have always genuinely cared about the animals around me! Whether they are pets, wild animals, etc. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule!! Other than Mondays and Wednesdays, my schedule is very flexible!! I have two friendly dogs. They are both elders so they need rest and cuddles more than anything. When they were younger and more active, we would play fetch and take walks around our neighborhood!
About: I love to care for my dog and love to meet other dogs. I am open to any dog and its unique personality. I have taken care of all sizes of dogs and always want to meet their needs. I don't mind taking them on walks around the neighborhood and am happy to take pictures or videos of how they are doing. I am primarily available on the weekends but will make time for weekday evenings. I am currently applying to other weekday jobs and will update my schedule accordingly. I’m moving to Amherst on August 26th so I recommend not booking after this date. I will not be in the area I let my dog outside when he asks for it and keep a close eye on him. I also supervise all dogs outside, making sure they don't go into places they should not go. I will also provide baths when asked and can give oral medication.
“Taylor was new to our two cats. Even though they were shy, she stayed to help them meet a new person. Taylor was very thoughtful to check the house for safety as well. I would definitely book Taylor again!”
“Dakota took great care of my yellow lab while I was away for the day. Communication with her was so easy, and when I checked my phone in the afternoon I really appreciated all the pictures and detailed updates from her drop-in visit. After our meet and greet, I felt so comfortable seeing how she interacted with our dog, and knew he'd be in good hands.”
“Siri is great, she is very responsive and kept us updated on our babies. Our two terriers can be a handful but Siri did great with then. We will for sure be using Siri for future stays and drop in visits.”
“Christina took wonderful care of my kitties - Lucy, Fox and Billie. From the initial contact and through the duration of my trip, her communication was excellent, visits were prompt, photos were very nice to see and she kindly did everything the way I like it to be done. She is professional, reliable and caring. I highly recommend Christina as a sitter.”
“Keri provided drop in visits for my cat. Not only was my cat content in knowing that she would be fed, played with, and taken care of - but my house was taken care of as well. I could enjoy my time away with no worries.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for a very long time. I cannot walk past a dog without asking it’s owner if I can pet and give their dog love. I grew up with cats and have cared for my friends cat when they went away. I have taken care of friends dogs as well while they vacationed. I’m currently off for the summer as I work in the school system, I have lots of availability. I will be retiring this November and will be more available after Thanksgiving. I live on 14 acres of land, my property abuts the woods, my dog is trained to stay within the yard, I would be outside with the dogs and would not be opposed to leashing them if the families would feel more comfortable. Dogs will also have free range inside my home.
About: I have raised 3 dogs from puppy through adulthood with great love and attention. Looking forward to helping others with their beloved pets! Our home is heaven for any dog or cat. My wife and I both work from home so we're always around to provide attention, playtime, walks, feedings, grooming, etc. Our dog Moreno is super friendly and agreeable with other dogs and cats. Our son loves them too! Multiple walks a day, leashed or off depending on the dog. Gated porch for fresh air time. Dog beds, toys, lots of space for people and pets!
“Eleanor was great! Our kitties loved her right away and we had total peace of mind while we were on vacation. Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again next time we are away.”
“Jessica is great! Super responsive and I felt immediately comfortable leaving Opal with her! Was very attentive to Opals needs at my home! Opal looked like she had a great time too!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old. I’d love to take your dog out for a long walk and get him/her some exercise! I work remotely full-time, but my hours are very flexible. I can always take your pup for a midday walk, as long as it’s planned ahead of time. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own pet. I will adhere to a feeding/walking schedule that is customized to your pets needs.
About: Hello! I'm the proud owner of two very friendly Catahoula-mixes who are always excited for some more canine company if you need somewhere to board your dog. For those with very energetic dogs, in addition to the standard 30-minute walks I also offer 60-minute runs/hikes for those who are located near to any outdoor trails. (I run marathons so I'm always glad for some four-legged company). I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm based in Spencertown but I'm originally from England where I also walked dogs - I'm that rare breed of international dog carer! Please note, for those looking to board at my home, I live in the woods on 16 acres. Due to the geography of our property we have no fenced in area - we just don't need one. We have 20 free range birds, a free-range pet pig and our two dogs - a lack of fence has never been a problem. Understandably though, for some owners and some dogs this setup is not a good fit. If you have any questions at all about any of my services, then please don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home and have a flexible schedule.

About: I've trained two dogs that I got when they were puppies. I currently have 1 dog and many chickens. I've watched dogs and cats in the past. I've also had cats, hamsters, fish, a rabbit, birds, guinea hens and chickens. I currently work from home most days. When I don't, I'm not gone for long. I prefer to be home if I'm pet sitting and that changes from time to time. My yard is fenced and blocked off on two sides. There is a field behind the house that's usually grass that's usually too tall for domestic animals to go into.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs most of life. I’ve raised puppies and owned and cared for special needs dogs. I’m happy to take your pets the to vet or groomer. I’m patient, attentive, and professional. My husband, also a life long animal lover, is my right hand man in this line of work and between the two of us, we can give your animals the time and attention they deserve. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule that allows me to give your pets the attention, play, and presence they need while you are away. My husband has a flexible schedule and between the two of us we can give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I love walking and playing with dogs.

Karla C.
“I have known Karla for several years and she has taken care of our Chocolate Lab multiple times. We trust her with our home, but even more importantly, we trust her with our dog!!! We can relax and feel 100% confident that our dog is in good hands - not just getting basic care, but having an excellent time with someone who is paying lots of attention to him. It dramatically helps to lessen the guilt when we do have to leave him, knowing that Karla is taking care of him! I have known her parents for over 10 years and I can attest to the fact that she comes from a hard-working, caring and trustworthy family and that those values have been passed on to her as well. It's hard to leave your dog - leaving them with someone as good as Karla helps!!! I highly recommend her services.”

Alister A.
“Alister and I have been dog-walking together for years. And when I am away on holidays, he is always the one who looks after my Border Collie, Zeb. Being a Collie, Zeb needs lots of walks each day to keep him fit and healthy. Alister is one of the most chilled dudes ever with the patience of a saint to keep throwing Zeb's ball even when *surely* after an hour the game must be boring for Zeb by now! He's also great at keeping in touch, sending me little pics of Zeb via WhatsApp when I am away which is great for me and just keeping a check on my house too which is super helpful and gives me peace of mind.”
