About: As a psychiatric nurse, I offer gentle, attentive care to people in vulnerable moments. I bring the same calm, respectful presence to the pets I care for. Their feelings and situations are accounted for while I tend to their personal needs. I work part-time on an as needed basis and can work around the schedules of my clients. Available on short notice, including nights, and 12-24 hours' notice is preferred. I have a lightly fenced yard and two friendly dogs. A canine guest may be offered crating for sleep, or they are welcome to bring their own bed. Must be cat friendly. If caring for a pet in a client's home, care will be provided in their own environment precisely as they are used to.

“I booked Iris to walk my Sukie while I was on vacation in Western Massachusetts and attending a music festival. Iris took great care of Sukie while I was away and was a great communicator. I would highly recommend Iris!”

About: Having grown up with 3 dogs and 3 cats, as well as looked after many family and friends pets since I was around 12 as well as growing up with a special needs cat who required oral medication, I am capable of and willing to handle anything from walking to feeding and giving medications for dogs and cats alike, your family pet(s) will be in great care! I currently work part time Monday through Thursday until 3:30-4. I am free to take care of your pets after then and am always available all day Fridays through Sundays. I can easily and safely crate your dog if needed and put away cats/dogs in a specific room as well. When walking, I always use a leash and clean up after your dog as well.

About: Hi, I’m Jaclyn! I’m new to Rover, but not to pet care. I’ve always been an animal lover. I have taken care of family, friends, and coworkers pets for over 15 years. This ranges from cats, kittens, senior dogs and puppies, to rabbits, guinea pigs, and tropical frogs. I make sure to keep your space clean, laundry, dishes, vacuum, take in the mail, take out the trash. I want your home to be a safe haven when you get back, with nothing to tend to when you return. I am a wonderful companion, and I make sure your pet is happy, clean, litter scooped, fed, walked, and they will get lots of love and playtime. Animals love me! Whether they enjoy playing ball or walks, or snuggles on the couch, I want to make sure your fur-babies are happy and cared for in your absence. I have references on my website which I’m happy to share upon request. I provide a free meet and greet before sitting dates; I want to meet you and your pet, and ensure they are comfortable with me ahead of my visit. I love check-ins for longer stays and will send photos if desired. My house sitting overnight services are in high-demand so please book ahead for best results. Let me know how I can help! I look forward to meeting you ☺️🐶🐾 My main focus is on building dog walking and pet care services, so I’m available for all your pet care needs! I am often in Amherst or Greenfield and don’t mind traveling. My house sitting is very in demand so please book early. I have more flexibility for daytime walks. Thank you! I will go over your regular routines with you about your furry family member, and chat about what keeping your pet safe looks like. I love a good harness for walks, and carefully supervised backyard playtime. Wood trails are great for walks and I always keep a close eye and make sure your pet is not getting into any mischief! I exercise the utmost caution when walking on the street and keep alert for traffic or any other hazards. I care for dogs in a reassuring, calm way, with lots of praise and patience. I carefully assess dogs we may meet on the street to ensure safety and distance if necessary. I have a good eye for ticks and am always checking and finding them, but your dog should be treated for this too. Your best friend is in good hands with me!

About: I have had animals my whole life and always also have been employed in animal care fields. Personally have 5 dogs and 4 cats. I also have experience with farm animals including horses. I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I can always adjust my day as needed to fit your desired schedule.

About: I am a responsible Pet Lover who puts the needs of pets first. I love to spend time with pets, dog walk, do basic grooming, and I am very attentive when a pet is in my care. I have 1 cat now, who prefers to stay at home. I have experience with all many types and breeds of dogs. I also have experience with pets of all ages, including pets with special needs, special diets, or medical issues. I do have a couple of per diem home care jobs. My hours are sporadic, but never regular. Usually day or early evening. They are never long shifts (5 hours or less). I have prior engagements for an hour each Sunday-Tuesday nights. I always make sure that the pet is fed and walked before leaving the house and as soon as I get back. Depending on the location, I might be available to take the dog/dogs out for a short walk during a shift. For drop ins, I am available for feeding twice a day and 3 walks a day. I am very attentive to the needs of a pet. I make sure that they are well taken care of. I limit cell use while walking your pups. I do not smoke, drink, or use recreational drugs. I have a lot of experience with reactive dogs. I always do my absolute best to assure the safety of your pups, other people, and other pets that we might come in contact with. I spend as much time with them as possible. I am able to do extra light cleaning in your home, as well as clean up after myself. You feline family will also be well taken care of, as I am learning more about our fickle feline friends everyday.
