Pet Sitting Dalton

About: I have had pets my whole life. I pride myself on caring for dogs the way you would. Walks, play and snuggles are just a must every day. Our 151/2 year old Wheatlie was given a ride/park adventure every day! My favorite activity of the day is walk-let me help you when you don’t have time to get out-your pet will feel good after a brisk walk! I am currently semi-retired so I am available for walks and care during the day. Our senior dog has passed so my attention is on caring for your pet the way I cared for my Wheatlie. I have a large yard for lots of fun! A typical day would involve play time, walks, treats, snuggles and scratches. Your pet is part of my family.

“Tara took excellent care of our two cats while we were away, both were given lots of love and attention. She even managed to get our scaredy-cat to come out and play which is very rare with new people. Highly recommend”

“Alyson was great with communication and (luckily) able to accommodate our last minute booking, coming next day for a meet and greet. I instantly felt comfortable with her, it was obvious that she loves animals, and I had no worries that the animals would be well taken care of while we were away. Came back to happy creatures and I am sending another booking request shortly! Thanks Alyson!”

“Trista was wonderful! She sent great pictures of all the pets. They all look so happy and well cared for. Great communication and followed all instructions. You can tell she really cares for your pets. We would highly recommend! 😊”

About: I have always lived in household with a minimum of 3 dogs, dogs have been my companions before I could walk. Now I’m always with my service dog, Winnie. I worked with a program to train my own service dog. He’s a friendly little golden retriever, and a fast friend. During his training I learned the importance of trust routine, and patience with dogs. I’m currently working part time from 7:30 to 2 pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and 10-3 on Saturdays. I am always up for hiking or a short walk with dogs. I have a service dog who comes with me everywhere, he’s a gentle and easy friend, and generally good with other dogs. He’s just as happy to play as he is to nap.

About: Compassionate and experienced pet caregivers with a proven track record of providing top-notch care for dogs, including those with special needs. I am skilled in managing medical conditions such as convulsions and cancer, and I take a gentle, loving approach with every pet. I’m also well-versed in supervising curious eaters who love to snack on anything they can find! My husband, Nick, and I work as a team to ensure pets are cared for throughout the day. I’m home until 3 PM to handle mornings, walks, and plenty of daytime love and attention. Nick takes over in the evenings and overnight, so your pets continue to receive care, comfort, and companionship. Above all, we shower every furry friend with affection, making sure they feel safe, happy, and adored while in our home. As a dog walker, pet care is a regular part of my morning routine. I typically schedule dog walks Monday through Saturday, usually between , 8am-12pm. This allows me to provide a fun and energizing start to the day for the dogs in my care.

About: I have been loving and caring for dogs my entire life! Nothing makes me happier than spending quality time with a furry friend. I have experience with basic obedience training and grooming (including nail trimming), and I'm more than happy to take your dog on a long-distance walk if needed. I work from home, so your pet will enjoy around-the-clock company! I can board throughout the week and am available for short or long-term stays. I have a very friendly Beagle who will love becoming your pet's next best friend! If needed, I'm able to crate small dogs (below 25 lbs). Though I don't have a backyard, I'm near plenty of green spaces where your pet can enjoy time outside. Your pet can expect multiple daily walks, plenty of play time, and an experienced and caring sitter.

About: I have prior pet sitting experience and it's something I genuinely love doing. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, giving attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines. My 20 years of experience has taught me the importance of patience, reliability, attentiveness, and building trust with both pets and owners. I understand how important it is for families to feel comfortable leaving their pets in someone else's care. I always make sure pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I am an educator so I have summer time flexibility. During the school year, I am available before and after school hours, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer months, I have full availability and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, walks, visits, and providing attentive care. My schedule allows me to be dependable, consistent, and flexible for pet owners' needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive exercise, and get plenty of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy by cleaning litter boxes, picking up after pets, and making sure everything stays safe and organized. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs, whether they enjoy lots of interaction or prefer a calmer approach. My goal is always to provide loving, dependable care while helping pets feel relaxed in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for about five years now and I have a lot of experience. I’ve worked anywhere from doggy daycare‘s to overnights to boarding dogs in my own home. I’ve always considered myself an animal person and I just love to care for them. I’m currently in cosmetology school so Monday through Friday, I’m in School from 9 o’clock until 430. After that, I plan to stay where I’m dog sitting for so that they get the most love and attention when I am able to be there. I really like to take it on the owners terms. I always prefer to meet the animal I’m caring for first however, if that’s not possible then it’s totally fine, however I like to listen to what the animal tells me, what boundaries it’s giving me, but I love to be able to play with them take them outside as much as possible feed them when necessary and give extra treats because they’re such good babies. I just appreciate the owners letting me know what they do and don’t want from me as a host.

About: I have pet/house sat multiple times over the past several years for friends and family, and have worked with several types of animals from small critters like guinea pigs and ferrets, cats, and even large dog breeds. I also have 2 years experience volunteering for a local shelter in socialization and vet transport, 3 years experience working for a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and I currently work part time for another local animal shelter. I am an experienced owner of dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, guinea pigs, and more. I also have experience as a wedding dog handler, and would be happy to offer this service if requested so your furry companion can accompany you or someone you know on yours or their special day without any added stress, please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in! I currently work part time so I have lots of time to play with your pup, and hopefully can build savings towards a larger space to meet more people's needs! I am always looking to learn, grow, and provide better care for animals. Animal welfare is very important to me. At this point in time, due to the space I'm only able to accommodate smaller breeds that generally can get along with others. I do have a small fenced in yard, but I also have the bike trail and nearby hiking trails readily available, your dog will need to be on leash at all times when outside on walks/hikes, I do not provide "off-leash" trail experience as a safety precaution, thank you for your understanding! I am happy to provide pictures and updates of your pup whenever requested, please never be afraid to reach out!

“Michelle was an amazing and informative sitter for our cat. They were always prompt and responsive and gave great information about their visits. We looking forward to booking them again! ?”

About: I have years of animal care experience. Starting with watching my GSD and American Husky as a teenager. I personally own a cat and an American Staffordshire Terrier mix.

About: Hi! I’m Maura, a high school English teacher who has lived and worked in the Berkshires for 19 years. I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds, and my goal is simple: to provide safe, personalized care so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your pets. Now accepting bookings for my private pet guest house, Booked and Boarded! Unlike a traditional kennel, I board only one pet family at a time, allowing your pets to enjoy a calm, low-stress stay with individualized attention. The guest house opens directly into a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for safe outdoor play while enjoying a cozy, home-like environment. The space is also designed with (indoor) cats in mind! Booked and Boarded is a perfect space for pets (and owners!) who want a quieter, more personal boarding experience. In addition to private boarding, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and small farm sitting throughout the Berkshires. Whether you need someone to check on a new puppy, care for a senior pet, or manage a small farm while you’re away, I’d love to help. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, rats, large aquariums, horses, cows, goats, and pigs. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have experience managing an equine boarding facility with 19 horses on the property and am comfortable handling a wide variety of animal personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I am experienced with: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Oral medication administration • Basic trick training and potty training • High-energy dogs • Shy or anxious animals • Horses and livestock requiring daily care routines I also offer red light therapy sessions for pets, both small and large, upon request. When your pet stays with me at Booked and Boarded, you can expect plenty of communication. I send regular photos, videos, and updates throughout their chapter with me, and every boarding guest goes home with a personalized treat bag and a fun “report card” highlighting their time at Booked and Boarded. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave beloved pets behind when traveling. That’s why I prioritize communication, reliability, and individualized care so you can feel confident your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying themselves while you’re away. Whether you’re visiting the Berkshires for a weekend, heading out for a day of boating, skiing, or sightseeing, or leaving town for a longer trip, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about services, availability, or your pet’s specific needs. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! Find Booked & Boarded on Facebook! I’m always running errands for my pets, spending time with my pets, or I’m at the barn with my horse. Taking care of the needs of my own pets is one of my top priorities, and I can easily work your furry friend into my schedule! It’s important that we discuss your specific expectations and needs as a pet owner/parent to ensure that you get the best care! Every pet owner and pet is different and I want to tailor my approach to what your pet is used to and comfortable with.

About: I've been helping family and friends take care of their pets while they are gone since I was a teen. This has been cats, dogs, and dog walking along with the occasional chicken and parakeet. Currently I have a cat but I grew up with a dog and love them just as much. I will happily give your pets and home the attention to detail they deserve! Plus lots of love, pets, and play if they want it. I am available any time of the week between 8 am and 8 pm as I do not have a full time job. My schedule is flexible and I can work with you. Walk me through what you and your pet need and I will be happy to provide. Your home and furry friends will be safe and sound! I can do play time, walks, general care, and simple medical needs. If you need other things done when I visit, let me know and we can talk.

About: Hello! I've had animals my whole life and love being around them. I'm available to walk dogs and give them good exercise for those that have a lot of energy. I am also available to stay overnight to take care of your house and animals. My love for animals has pushed me to study to become a veterinarian technician. I also currently work at Berkshire Veterinary Hospital so I'm comfortable bringing them to the vet in an emergency. I am also able to medicate (orally or injected) your animals. I'm also comfortable cutting nails. I have the most experience with cats and dogs but enjoy taking care of all animals whether they are furry, feathered, or scaled. I have a very calm personality so most animals trust me right away and if they don't, I'm very good at earning it. Let me earns yours and you won't regret it.
