House Sitting in Gill

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the past four years. I’ve house sat for many years which includes three dogs and a cat, recently for four dogs. I have two of my own. I love animals and I treat them like my own. I truly have a way with dogs. They respond well to me. I am currently in school through the end of May, but I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to be available in the early mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m very good at managing my time and staying organized, so I can reliably commit to pet care responsibilities even during the school term. Once May is over, my availability opens up completely, and I will be free at any time, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a wide range of schedules and provide consistent, dependable care whenever it’s needed. I take great care when looking after your pets. Making sure to follow all instructions closely so your pets routine stays consistent and stress free. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness by giving them plenty of attention, exercise and affection.

“Natalie is terrific! She pet and house sat for my two cats and one dog. I’d just recently adopted the pup, who was still very nervous around people she didn’t know. Natalie had incredible patience with her - gave her lots of space and care, and my pup finally came around. She was also great with my cats. Natalie is responsive with communication and reliable, brings experience to her work, and asks questions if something isn’t clear. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Lauren is wonderful! She was responsive and made both our cat and dog, that can be anxious, feel very comfortable. The house was exactly how we left it and the animals were as happy as can be.”

“Lori is awesome. She watched our senior dog and our 2-year-old dog in our home for a week-long trip. She communicated very well and sent tons of pictures. She gave medications to our senior dog (who requires a lot of patience) and kept our younger dog well exercised. When our flight home got delayed, Lori was super understanding and flexible during the uncertainty. Our house was spotless when we got home. Lori is a true professional and we'd recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Lori, for giving us peace of mind while we were away.”

“Maggie is a wonderful housesitter. Our very anxious grouchy dog took an immediate liking to her. We will definitely be using Maggie to house and dog sit the next time we go away.”

“Kaylee’s partner Katie came and sat with my 12-week-old puppy, Kahlua, for several hours. She was so fantastic! Really sweet and friendly, and my pup loved her immediately. She was gentle and playful with lil Lua, and helped Lua get out all her puppy energy; when Katie left puppy was happy and wiped. This made it way easier to get her down for crate training. Katie was even flexible on arrival and departure times, within her abilities. Would book with her again in an instant (actually asked to book her the next day)”

“Charly is awesome! Very responsive, flexible. Our pups were happy with her and very well cared for.”

Kate P.

“Elizabeth was very kind and responsive. She took great care of our dogs, sent us photos, and updated us during the visit. I would definitely book her again to watch our pups!”

About: I have lived with a variety of animals, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, parrots, and rabbits. I have done several years of pet sitting for family and friends, and am looking for more pet sitting opportunities while I return for nursing school. I am currently at school part time, and am free most of the week to watch pets, house sit, or go for walks with pups. I have a fenced in yard and rural walking area with hiking trails for walking outdoors. I am also free to travel to homes and stay with pets as long as needed. Any accommodations I can work with, whatever works for you and your pet.

“Haley did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She was respectful, on time, and caring. We would highly recommend Haley to anyone seeking care for their pet.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, dogs are more than just pets they are a big part of our families. I treat every animal like it is my own. I am currently working until about 2pm during the week, but I am able to pivot my schedules if needed with a four day notice. I can take care of pets in the clients home. I can walk, bathe, give medication if needed. I will treat their home like it’s my own and ensure your animal is comfo And loved!

“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: Experienced pet-sitter with a widely flexible schedule available for any needs you may have for your pet! On top of pet-sitting and day trip/walking experience I have experience as an assistant groomer from working for The Green Groomer in Northampton, MA which you are welcome to get in touch with as a reference. I also worked at a Dog Daycare in the Boston area before moving to Western MA, where I was involved with many responsibilities surrounding the pups including providing their meals, pick-ups/drop-offs, de-escalation of conflict, and general moderation of behavior. Working in this field has granted me the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes and has taught me how to interact with pups from all walks of life. On top of that I have experience with bathing, nails, and ear cleanings from my time at the Green Groomer. My schedule is extremely flexible, with open availability during the week before 3PM, making check-ins during the work day hassle free, and my shift never getting out later than 10:30PM, so overnight boardings are still not a problem during my work week. I also have Friday-Sundays off so long weekend boardings are always an option. Please let me know in advance of any house rules for your pup (i.e furniture rules, dietary restrictions, routine scheduling) and I will be sure to follow them with the same consistency you would. In regards to boarding with me they would be boarded in a pet-free, smoke-free, child-free condo with a large unfenced yard in the back for leashed outings when needed!

“James went above and beyond and everything went smoothly (it’s a big job!). Everyone was relaxed and happy upon our return. (And my house was definitely neater than i left it.)”

About: Ive been caring for pets for many years. I had a dog walking business over a decade ago. We taken care of our own and others elderly dogs. We like taking dogs on long off leash walks in groups if possible. Dogs are always welcome to cuddle up on the furniture. Im a stay at home-mom, homeschooling. We go to play groups and trips but we can plan our day around dog walks. We take the dogs out first thing in the morning on leash as our yard isnt fenced. We are happy to come feed kitties and water plants. We love taking dogs out on walks and caring for them in our home. We love going on long walks mid day out in nature

About: I've lived with two reactive dogs and a dog trainer, so I know what patient, loving, pet centric care looks and feels like. I introduce myself to new animals slowly and allow them enough time and space to warm up to me. When my friend's allow it, I do basic training with their dogs. I know that many dogs appreciate the mental stimulation of learning, alongside time outside to sniff, exercise and explore. I often work from home so your pup or pet will have some company during the day. I often work from home so your pet will have some company during the day. That also means I can stay in your home while you're away and not worry too much about my commute. I prefer to stay at your home and allow your pet the comfort of being in their familiar space. If you have favorite nearby walking routes or parks, I would love to know.

“Makenzy was great on an overnight stay with our 14 yr. old dog Jovi. Makenzy was a compassionate and creative problem solver, figuring out a way to get Jovi to eat and camping out right next to her during a 3am thunderstorm. Makenzy was also a great communicator with us; we felt like all of us were in very good hands!”

“Yes, yes, Karen took great care of our pet, Cinder, and our home while she was here. Easy communicator, responsible, and kind. I am so glad to have found Karen and look forward to calling on her again!”

“Carter was very attentive to the needs of my anxious pup. He was on time and reliable and contacted me with questions. I highly recommend Carter as a pet sitter.”

Susan B.

“Bree was fantastic! She is definitely an animal person who connected with our dog immediately. She sent fun pictures that reassured us how happy he and our cat were and also let us know she was remembering his meds and walks. She left out place as clean or cleaner than when we left. She was very open to communication. We would recommend her to any and all!”
