Pet Sitting Chicopee

About: I believe the best care starts with getting to know each dog's unique personality, routine, and comfort level. No two dogs—or pet parents—are exactly alike. Whether your dog thrives on long walks and adventures, enjoys practicing a few training cues (with allll the snackies!), or simply wants someone nearby while they snooze, I adapt my care to what helps both of you feel comfortable and confident while you're apart. My current job, as I work predominantly remotely, has a fairly flexible schedule. Because of this, I'm fortunate to be able to spend much of the day with the dogs in my care—not just the mornings and evenings. For 15 years, I had the privilege of sharing life with my sweet service dog, Brady. Together we learned, trained, explored, and adapted through every stage of life—from first swims to ongoing training and nosework, and later to weekly physical therapy, acupuncture appointments, and our favorite "ba-ba-baloney" song that became part of Brady's nightly medication routine during his senior years. I loved loving my boy. He taught me early on that every moment, no matter how small, is an opportunity to bring comfort, consistency, and so much joy. I've been fortunate to spend time with lots of different types of dogs—from beloved family companions to comfort dogs in higher education and even municipal working dogs. No matter their role or personality, I genuinely enjoy the thoughtful, individualized connection that helps each pup feel confident, secure, and understood. Whether we're heading out on an adventure or relaxing together while I work, I'm happy to adapt each day to what helps your dog feel most at ease. If they thrive on a consistent routine or have a detailed medication schedule, you can count on me to keep things familiar and consistent. The same goes for communication. If you love updates, photos, and the occasional goofy dog selfie throughout the day, I'm all in. If you'd rather unplug and receive one thoughtful update each evening, I'm happy to do that, too. My goal is to tailor not only your dog's care, but your experience as their person. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I work remotely, which means your dog gets promoted to coworker. My favorite colleagues just happen to have four legs. On the occasional day I head into the office for a meeting, I'm only about 15 minutes away from my home and have a full hour for lunch, making midday walks, potty breaks, playtime, and medication schedules easy to accommodate. My goal is to keep your dog's routine as familiar and consistent as possible while you're away My home is on a quiet side street with a fully fenced backyard and is less than a two-minute walk from a park, giving us easy access to open green space, plenty of opportunities to explore, and, for water-loving pups (with your permission, of course!), a splash pad on warm summer days. Whether I'm caring for your dog in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a safe, consistent environment that feels as familiar as possible.

About: All my life I’ve had a variety of different animals all including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc. You name it, I have owned it. In some time spans all at the same time. I would love to take all this experience that I was fortunate enough to obtain throughout the years and bring it to your home! I am currently enrolled at the Western New England University. At the time being as I am on summer break I am looking for something to do to take up all this newly acquired time. As well as make some extra money to go towards my tuitions. Since I have a love for animals I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a cocktail. As you can imagine yes they can certainly be a handful but I couldnt imagine my life without them. Each and everyone being on a schedule of their own which is always never a problem.

“Thank you for making sure our animals were fed. For making sure all instructions were followed.”

About: Hiya, I’m Paisley! I’m an avid animal lover, and have two four-legged little ladies of my own - Winnie (10), and Stella (4). I love meeting new pups of all different personalities. I’d be thrilled to meet yours and be their friend in need! I’m dedicated to making sure they’re treated as if they were my own. Thank you for considering me! I’m available Monday-Friday with flexible times, so I can work around what schedule is ideal for your best friend’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, a feeding, or play time - I’ve got you covered! I have two very charming little ladies at home. Your fur-baby will be taken care of as if they were my own. I have patience for all animals of any size, and have experience with nervous and anxious animals as well.

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. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, 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.

“I loved working with Jacklyn! She’s been my long term dog walker for my poodle, Brodie. She’s so sweet with him and very communicative with me on their daily walks.”

About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

“I had Molly come to the house a few times during this past week and Molly was wonderful with Benny, she arrived on time, follow my directions with Benny, left me detailed messages about the visits. I had a weird schedule and she was able to accommodate us. We really appreciate it! And I also got lots of pictures, This was my first time using Rover we’re grateful for Molly, I will definitely have her services again.”

“Annie was a gem for a care taker for my blacklab! She was punctual, caring, very dependable and took care of my dog like he was her own. And she took great care while we were stuck out of state in our recent snow storm giving us extra time when we needed. I would highly recommended Annie and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, consistency, and attention I give to every pet. I don’t just stop in to complete tasks—I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I have experience with a variety of needs, including puppy care and basic training reinforcement. I can help maintain potty schedules, crate training, and simple commands, keeping things consistent so your puppy continues learning even when you’re not home. I’m also very comfortable with senior pet care, providing a slower, more attentive approach. I pay close attention to mobility, behavior, and any special routines to make sure older pets stay comfortable and stress-free. In addition, I’m detail-oriented and reliable. I carefully follow feeding schedules, instructions, and any special care requirements, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space stay clean and well-maintained. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—giving them patience, attention, and genuine care rather than just supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around visits to ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at consistent times. I’m reliable, flexible, and able to accommodate morning, afternoon on weekends and can provide full evening care, making sure each pet gets the time and consistency they need. For safety and trust, I always follow owner instructions carefully, keep environments clean and secure, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets are always in a safe, comfortable environment. tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also attentive to litter box or yard cleanup, administering medications if needed, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, gates, and pets are secure before leaving. No matter the setting, my goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've been caring for a variety of animals(including dogs, cats, invertebrates, and livestock) for over a decade, since I was about 10 years old. I have experience with animal handling, animal care, dog walking, pet sitting, and animal training. I am a dog trainer, working on getting my CPDT certification and specializing in obedience and reactive dogs. But, I have also trained cats and pigs! I have worked with all breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs, and understand dog body language like it's English. This is currently my main source of income, so I have open availability to take care of your furry(or not furry) friends! I also have a car with plenty of space for animals so I can easily commute and transport pets. I don't live somewhere with an easily accessible space for exercising pets, but I can easily exercise, enrich and keep your dog safe and happy in and outside of your home!

“Ace was wonderful with our kitty. Attentive, caring, and communicated a lot along the way. Didn’t shy away from having to give him insulin. I would absolutely use them again for cat sitting!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats(only a couple) since I was a kid. My friends, family, and nanny families knew they had someone they could trust to take care of and love their fur baby like it was mine. I have lived with a dog my entire life-all rescues(Golden Retriever, Pitty Mixes, King Charles Spaniel, Rotty Mix, Lab Mixes, Great Dane…) Our current fur baby Midnight is a senior Lab Pitty mix. I have experience caring for puppies to seniors. I am comfortable giving medication, feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up after, and transporting your dog. I have less experience with cats, but have house sat several cats-making sure to follow their feeding schedule and cleaning out their litter box. I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I worked with children 6 weeks to 5 years old for over 12 years. Which means I have lots of patience, love, and understanding. I have been lucky to be able to stay home with our daughter the last five years. But I am ready to make my way back into part-time work. I believes pets are our family and I will treat yours like mine. It would be a honor to help care for and love on them. I am currently a stay at home mom. My daughter is in preschool three days a week and starting kindergarten in the fall. So I have flexibility in my schedule. At the moment I am available Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 9am-12:30pm, and flexible Thursdays and weekends. I can do drop ins, hangout time, playtime, walks, and lots of snuggles and pets. At the moment I am not able to board any dogs or cats. My sweet boy was attacked in his foster home and still learning to trust other dogs again. I am comfortable come to your house to care for your pets.

About: I love animals of all types, I have 3 dogs myself and have animals my whole life. I used to volunteer at a humane society. I believe in trying to give animals the best life possible. I will make your pet fit into my schedule multiple times a day. I work full time but can schedule a head of time to make sure all of your pets needs are fulfilled. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for my 3 dogs. I walk them at a minimum one time a day (depending on the weather) and also make sure I make time to play with them as well.

About: ​I grew up with cats, but always found ways to surround myself with dogs, from walking neighbors' pups to helping care for them while they traveled. Growing up with a few independent-minded cats also taught me patience, how to respect their space, and how to create a low-stress, calming environment for all animals. Whether it's dogs or cats, I treat every animal with the highest level of care. ​As a part-time worker with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the active care, attention, and companionship they need throughout the day! ​I maintain a safe, stressfree environment tailored to each animal's needs. I strictly follow your pet care instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and prioritize open communication. I constantly monitor pet body language, whether outdoors on walks or relaxing at home, to ensure they feel happy, calm, and safe.

“Alexandra was reliable and took great care in making sure the cats were taken care of as we discussed. She cleaned everything up nicely very communicative and again in a heartbeat! Thank you!”

About: I have been a pet owner since I was in my 20s. Over the years I have rescued a number of animals in need, both dogs and cats. I have also helped friends with their animals, including taking them to the vet and watching them when their owners were out of town. With my own dog, we have a routine that includes multiple walks per day, as well as at least one car ride. I believe in following a pet's routine. I am free in the summer and on the weekends and in the evenings. It all depends on what someone needs in a person caring for their pet. I believe in following what a pet owner needs for the comfort of their animal. Depending on the need of your animal, I can take care of walks, bringing them to the park, feeding them, and whatever else they need.

About: We’re excited to welcome your furry friend into our home! It’s important that your pet gets along with children and other animals, as I have a 2-year-old son with autism, along with two dogs and a cat, two ferrets.
