Dog Sitting Cummington

“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: Iv been in the rescue field for 15 years, a veterinary technician for 8 years. I run a hobby farm. I have 4 dogs currently. I am experienced in administering medication for a wide range of animals and hospice care. I have a boarding room specifically for cats for an at home feel where they are safe and comfortable with their own space and lots of trees, boxes, and toys for them to play in! I currently am a stay at home mom. I am home 24/7 and can care for your pet around the clock. If I need to run out your pet will be left alone for no more than two hours. I can acclimate to whatever your needs are for animal care, whether it be taking your pet for a long walk or hanging out with them. I have a special room dedicated for overnight cat guests. (One cat border at a time unless they are from the same household)

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!

“Laila is a wonderful sitter, Clover is always so excited to spend time with her and has so much fun! She makes sure Clover always gets a walk and plenty of play time!”

About: I've had many different pets including dogs and cats! Experienced with different ages and needs including medications, behavioral, and sizes. Available for boarding, drop in, and walks I currently work mostly from home so I'm flexible for boarding and daytime visits. Love taking long walks and spending time at home with animals. Happy to take dogs on long walks and nature adventures with permission. I have cats and rabbits at home as well. I also have separate space for boarding or day care. Looking for consistent clients to build lasting relationships between me and your pet(s), as well as any last minute needs from new clients.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. Home pets mostly. But also my neighbors dog. I love any kind of animal Cats, dogs, bunnies, birds all!! I am currently retired and am free most days and nights. I have 2 grandchildren and big helpers! But if not comfortable with that please let me know I have an un fenced yard and 2 very friendly dogs, I would be willing to stay at your home or bring them my way

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 :)

About: I've had a a dog in my life on and off since I was born. I've had 4 dalmations while living with my family. One at a time and then a golden retriever and then adopted a pit/boxer mix a few years ago and then my mom 'stole' him. :-) I'm a huge fun of dogs and adore large breeds like pits, rotties, boxers, etc...and I'll still love to be with your little one if you have that too. I've sat for my friends female pittie a couple times and it's gone very very well. Apparently she doesn't like men too well however we got along terrifically. I miss playing and hanging out with my dog, "bueller" who my mom now gets to spend time with so that's why I'm here on this site. To get my 'doggie fix'. ;-) I feel I'm very aware of my surroundings while with my dog and also aware of the body language of the dog I'm with as they usually give a heads up if they are worried, anxious, fearful, etc... before something might happen. I have a flexible schedule and love to spend time with your furry loved ones. I'm cool with a super energetic pet or one that is more 'chill' I am presently unable to host/board your pets in my home, however I'm able to take care of them in your home or apartment if requested.

About: I have a passion for providing excellent care while fostering harmonious relationships between humans and their furry companions. With that I bring forth a blend of comprehensive education and hands-on experience in the realm of animal care. I have a lifetime of experience raising and caring for dogs and cats, and I am a certified professional dog trainer as well as trained in pet first aid and CPR. I am here offering my experience and expertise to help you achieve your pet care needs and training goals with confidence. My daily routine revolves around pet care and training. I can be available for visits pretty much any time any day of the week all year long. I believe our pets are more comfortable in their own homes. My visits will be scheduled as closely to the timing needs of your pet as possible to assure the consistency you already provide. I am happy to spend time indoors providing cats some friendly play time, or outside walking or playing ball with the dogs. If you have some basic obedience training needs, I am willing to make special accommodations to meet with you and your dog to help meet those needs as well.

“Lilly did great with our cat, Cranberry. She administered meds, fed her, and sent us photos. We’ll definitely book her again.”

About: I'm available for all holidays starting with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and New Year's Eve I'm a lifetime pet owner and pet sitter with strong references 🙏 I'm not employed by anyone else, so my time is wide open and I live on a quiet dead end street and close to regular parks and dog parks / trails. I always take the owners preferences seriously, but I do like to spoil with good food and treats. I also am good with grooming calmingly.

About: I’ve been caring for pets informally for my entire life and professionally starting 12 years ago. I care for each pet like they are my own. I am sensitive to their energy and needs. I am able to work with animals who have unique social/emotional and medical needs. I mainly work with dogs and cats but am also experienced in caring for small animals like rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.

“This is the second time we had Melanie take care of our four cats - she gets a 16 (out of 16) paws up from the 4 cats! We came home to very clean food bowls and litter boxes. Food was also left organized! She had great communication. She even accommodated a special diet and feeding cats in two locations. Will use again! Top ratings for Melanie!”

About: Hello! I always helped care for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was able to help care for litters of puppies. Most who went to the state of MA for agencies to train to help find missing people. I also grew up with cats and many reptiles. Currently I have two cats and three tortoises. I have professional experience as well from working for a local veterinarian clinic. Currently I travel for home health/health care worker within the area. I am always a drive away from my apartment to give potty breaks and walks for my new furry friends. I also have experience with dog obedience as I have a friend who owns/runs a local business. I have many resources for all animals. Currently I travel to my clients. Most of them are 5 to 20 minutes away from my apartment. I am able to make my own hours to take your fur baby out and spend time with them. I will take your dog out on leash for potty breaks and walks. I am able to take your dog to areas that are safe to take your dog off leash to run energy such as dog parks if you approve. If I am coming to you, I would want to learn everything you do to make your pet comfortable. I have many years of experience with all sorts of pets and farm animals if that’s growing up with pets and learning. Or if it’s in the vet med field or on the farm. First off everyone if different and that’s important to know how to make your pet most comfortable while they are being cared for. Going by your schedule and routine is very important for your pet so they are happy and comfortable while their family is away. I am able to help in anyway you request.
