“Ash was wonderful! Super responsive to my last minute booking, took really good care of my very social cats, giving them extra pets and attention, and very communicative throughout. They were also super helpful and flexible when our travel plans changed due to a family medical emergency. I will absolutely be reaching out to Ash for pet care again next time.”
“Matt was great! Very communicative and would recommend!”
“Kelli was great! My dogs loved her. I have two crazy huskies and she was able to handle them and had no issues. I loved the picture updates! Thanks Kelli”
“Heather was very kind and attentive when watching my cats. She sent lots of photos, asked thoughtful questions when she met them and left the place tidy and they were well cared for. Thank you Heather!”
“Molly is reliable and responsive. She was always on time to give my cat his insulin shot twice a day. Knowing I could count on her was such a relief. My cats loved her and I will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“Elisa was great taking care of my kitties and really paid attention to details and went out of her way to make sure to get things right. I would definitely book with Elisa again.”
About: I've had a dog or a cat (often both) in my life ever since I was 10. I love making new furiends, so I'd love to meet yours! My pup (Bailey) has separation anxiety, so I’m very familiar with supporting special needs, giving medication, and training. We alternate between off-leash fun walks and on-leash training walks, so I can adjust to your dog’s needs. I’m also a big fan of playing, especially if your dog needs to get some energy out. I split my time between volunteering at my local library and walking dogs, so my schedule is flexible. I prefer to walk dogs in the morning or early afternoon. I don't sit at my home, but I love getting updates about my pets when I'm away, so you can expect plenty of pictures and videos of your pets!
“Tanya is so communicative and caring. She's very thorough and leaves a detailed message about everything that happened during the visit. Extremely punctual and a warm person. She stayed extra time to make sure all instructions were perfectly followed to my multi-pet senior house! I'm definitely booking again!!”
“Iví was incredibly kind and communicative, and their deep love for animals was clear from the start. I truly appreciated their warmth and responsiveness, and I look forward to booking together in the future!”
“Sarah cared for our shy cat while we were gone for a week and got her to feel comfortable and safe! It was comforting to know that our cat was in good hands while we were gone, and was getting the cuddles and care she needed :)”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! From being raised with dogs and parakeets, to later expanding my personal knowledge to cats, rabbits, rats, and more, I understand that each pet is as unique as their owner and deserves to have their needs met. Patience and compassion are my keystones to pet care. My experience includes basic grooming, teeth brushing, utilizing a pill-popper tool/giving oral medication, spicy cat maintenance (trust me, I have my own), grumpy dogs, walking, play motivation, anxious pets, and verbal affirmations. Growing up, I trained two of my dogs from puppyhood, as well as converting a feral adult cat to basic training behaviors such as "stay." I am an extremely quick study and am happy to cater to your pets' specific needs! I currently work 35 hours a week from about 8:30-3:30pm, but have plenty of afternoon flexibility and full weekend availability! I am available on Saturdays and Sundays during the day for house/pet sitting, as well as Fridays after 5pm. This care is as tailored as you would like it to be! Based on your preferences and your animal's personality, I am happy to adapt to your family's needs. I can crate your dog, groom your cat, spend time with them in close or far proximity, add meal toppers to their dinners, you name it! Each pet is unique and I want you to feel as comfortable as possible while entrusting them with me.
“Bena was fantastic: The process went perfectly smoothly from their meeting in person with me and the cats and then following thru with the actual visits and accompanying pix, etc. The cats were content and fine when I returned. I highly recommend this ultra-pleasant and -efficient pet-watcher.”
About: It might sound funny to say I have 26 years of pet care experience, but I’ve truly never known a life without animals. I grew up in a family where dogs and cats were part of the family, not just pets. Over the years, we’ve loved pugs, labs, terrier mixes, a cavapoo with epilepsy, rottweilers, dobermans, a brussels griffon, and an American bulldog. For a time, we even had bearded dragons and rabbits….every animal had a special place in our home! I’ve also had the joy of caring for households with both senior pets and energetic young ones, making sure each one got the attention and care they needed. These days, I live in Northampton with my sweet orange American Shorthair cat, Zora. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am, and I’d love to bring that same care and love to your pets too. I’m currently a PhD candidate, and during the summer months my schedule is much more flexible, as I’ll mainly be focused on researching and writing my dissertation. I’m truly lucky to have the privilege of being adaptable with my time, which allows me to adjust to the needs of each family I work with When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. When I’m visiting a client’s home I create a calm, secure environment where animals can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual routines, preferences, and any special needs they might have from medication schedules to favorite toys. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and keep communication open with frequent updates, photos, and check-ins. I know how hard it can be to be away from your pets, so I make it a priority to be as communicative and reassuring as possible, giving you peace of mind while you’re apart. My approach is gentle, patient, and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Sailor did a great job giving my cat his medications and giving both cats some time outside on the deck. Sailor kept good communication, sent alot of pictures. They did everything I asked of them.”
About: I have had a deep love of animals as long as I can remember…This led me to receive my AVA certificate in 2020. I worked at a Tufts Clinic caring for animals both big and small gaining hands-on experience in total animal welfare. This time allowed me to gain an even deeper appreciation for our furry companions :) I’m currently taking classes and working part - time so I am pretty available throughout the weekdays. I am available on most weekends so please feel free to ask and I will let you know! I live in a large house with plenty of space for animals to explore and I also live in a community with great sidewalks and parks within walking distance from my home for your fur babies to play. At your house my attention is on your pet always. I grew up in a household where dogs and cats have always been an integral part of my life and I find a lot of joy in having them around :)
“Eliza did an excellent job of taking care of my two cats for two visits; she was very responsive in communication, timely and friendly. I would use her services again very gladly.”
“100% amazing experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for any kind of care for their fur babies! Alexis has gone above and beyond for me and my little guy, we couldn’t be more grateful!!”
“Great experience with Emily. She's conscientious, reliable, sends terrific and fun updates on each visit, and is willing to take on extra tasks like taking our cat to the vet when we discovered he had worms right before leaving town. She and our cat Zeke really hit it off, as I'm sure she would with any animal. Would definitely book her again.”
“Mimi was great stopping by for my two cats while I was away for a week - dependable and easy to communicate with.”
“This was our third drop-in with Sharene in the last month and they've all gone great! Each time Sharene has spent as long or longer with our pup than we expected and has sent us an awesome Rover report card with pics and details about their walk and any other things. Our pup is typically pretty chill but she can also be pretty sensitive/nervous and we can tell from the pics that our pup feels relaxed and happy with Sharene :)”

“Aidan is so great with pets! I’ve seen him on multiple occasions with his dog Bailey and his cat Mugen. Not only is he a doting pet parent and super attentive to their needs but he’s also extremely skilled at training them. Bailey is crate trained by Aidan and extremely responsive to commands, super gentle with strangers, and very affectionate. Mugen also responds to noise commands! Both pets are well behaved, well adjusted, and spoiled by Aidan! He’s a perfect candidate to take care of any fur baby in need.”
