House Sitting in Greenfield

“Lauren took great care of our sweet and energetic young dog. She was very communicative and flexible. And she left the house in great shape. We definitely plan to hire Lauren again.”

“Lori is great! She totally understands our dog's temperament and took him on many adventures while we were away. We think he had more fun than we did!”

Matthew H.

“Jaclyn knows the many moods and temperaments of dogs. Under the extraordinary confusion of a major home renovation project, she was able to settle our rescued pup upon arrival. We appreciated her excellent questions, skill, patience and forthright approach to leading him towards full exercise, calm homecomings and lots of fun in between. Thank you, Jaclyn!”

“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.”

About: Hi, I’m Ayden — your pet’s new favorite friend! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover, most of my experience comes from caring for my own family pets — from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet seniors and even a feathered friend. I’ve had the joy of loving animals big and small, couch potato and high energy. We recently said goodbye to our special needs dog after 8 amazing years together. I live with my wife and our 3 fur babies in a quiet neighborhood with a large (unfenced) backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised play. I also do all my own grooming and love keeping pets looking and feeling their best. As a full-time realtor with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m conveniently located at the borders of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont, so I’m happy to serve pet parents across all three states! Whether your companion needs a walk, some company, or overnight care, I treat every pet like my own family. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I am a realtor so I make my own schedule! Fitting in pet sitting will be absolutely no issue, and I am able to accommodate any existing routine your pet might have. Care for your pets will be based off their individual needs, as well as yours! In my home, my dogs are always crate trained for their safety and the safety of other pets in the home. Outside time will be on-leash until trust is built.

“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”

“Matt and Ziggy had a great time together while I was out of town for the weekend. Matt was also a great housesitter; he left my place spotless.”

About: I have been a rescue pet parent, most of my life. My human students are always shocked when they learn I've only parented the four legged kind! I'm fully retired, although I love sub teaching, when I can. Most of my days are filled with caring for my own dogs, as well as several weeks, at a time, caring for my Goddog, while her mom travels. I do home visits for friends, as well. In my home, I have a separate area for my furry visitors and sleep with them, so they are never alone. I prep special meals and meds, per Mom's instructions and I am the ONLY person trusted to take care of my Goddog.

“Jolene was a great, last minute find for house sitting and watching our two dogs. She gave us regular updates on their day and was super communicative. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we came home and the house looked like we never left! We feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to booking with her again soon!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.

“Truly wonderful dog and cat sitter: James did a phenomenal job caring for our three animals, one of whom is very anxious. It is a relief to find someone so kind-hearted and caring for our animals while we were away--it's not just a paycheck! I would hire James again in a heartbeat: an unreserved, enthusiastic five stars!!”

About: Hi! I’m Gus and would love to care for your pet 🐾. I grew up with dachshunds and now share two cats with my partner in Greenfield. I love getting to know animals — their personalities, love languages, favorite treats — and will give your animal the attention it deserves. 💕 I am happy to take walks, play games, and offer cuddles. My goal is to provide a worry-free experience for you and your animal companion by providing consistent and reliable care. I am getting my PhD in English and teach college students during the school year. My schedule in the summer is very flexible, aside from writing a dissertation. I am looking for extra income to supplement my teaching stipend. I am able to come mornings and evenings, and stay the day if needed. I believe in respecting animals’ boundaries. I have two cats who are fiercely independent but also need lots of attention. Figuring out this balance is something I believe is individual to an animal and I will prioritize the way your animal expresses their needs. 😊 My two cats are indoor, as I prefer to keep them safe from outdoor pests. I include them in weekend activities (cooking, movie nights, etc) and play with them daily. One is especially talkative so I make sure to give her lots of verbal affirmation. They each have two litterboxes and we feed them twice a day - both wet and dry food. Cleanliness is also a big part of our routine. Brushing, cleaning litterboxes and food bowls, and providing fresh water are taken care of on a daily basis. In terms of dog care (I grew up with several dachshunds), I am accustomed to taking dogs on daily walks, cleaning and bathing if needed, and offering more energetic (or chill) play times depending on your dog’s needs. Several animals I have cared for in the past have been on special diets, or needed medication. I am happy to do so for your pet if needed, and understand the importance of careful measurements and serving portions.

“We felt very comfortable with Colin coming to look after our doggies. We had a very good meet and greet. Colin was thorough in asking about our needs for our pets. He was willing to adjust our schedule for a slight change. We received a cute photo of Milo while we were away. A wonderful experience with a delightful and thoughtful care giver!”

“Mady is terrific - she took excellent care of Zena. Her dog Sebastian was a great playmate for Zena and helped make the time we were away fun for her. Mady used good judgement and was responsible. She's also very pleasant and a pleasure to work with. I'd definitely recommend her and would be happy to use her again.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Walking, feeding, and bathing both dogs and cats. I consider my pets family members! All of my babies are rescues. I have trained my dog through the GoodPup app and he knows the commands sit, stay, lay down, up, paw, leave it, heal, touch, and find it. All my pets are given enrichment activities throughout the day. They’re also stimulated with play/exercise. I know dog and cat body language. I have worked with dogs that have seizure disorders and know how to administer medication to both cats and dogs. I’m work Monday to Friday with my weekends free and open. My work schedule is Monday-Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm. I can take dogs for long walks, stimulate them through play, or with enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. For cats I can clean the litter box and stimulate them through play or enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. Pet safety is my first priority. I believe knowing pet body language is so important because that’s how they communicate their needs. I will care for your love ones as if they were my own! I will follow your schedule and instructions exactly as is because, you know your pet best! I can bath, walk, feed, administer medication, and give my full attention to your babies ☺️

About: When I was growing up, I was always caring for at least two dogs and cats at my family’s house. Neighbors and friends also made me their go-to dog sitter when they went away. I have loved caring for two greyhounds, four loveable slobbering hunting hounds, a giant golden who always thought he was a puppy, and one super sweet bullmastiff. Since my landlords do not allow pets, I am looking to give my attention to someone else's canine. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I especially appreciate dogs that behave well on leashes and like big walks. I would like to help care for dogs in the Pioneer Valley, ideally around Amherst, Deerfield, and Northampton. If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and experienced dog sitter/walker then let's talk! I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)! Cats are cool too 👍 This winter and spring I have flexible working hours. I would love to break up the working day by visiting your pet and going for a walk. I will always provide gentle and loving care to your pets whether that’s playing outside or inside. Wherever care is given, I will always be mindful about respecting your living space

About: Hi there! My name is Imani and I have a deep sense of love for all animals, especially dogs and cats :) I’ve been working alongside my girlfriend the past three years with dog walking/house sitting and after gaining so much experience and knowledge I decided to start my own profile. I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different breeds and sizes of dogs which gives me the confidence to handle any pup that comes my way! I’m extremely reliable and meticulous when it comes to my work and caring for my clients pets. My main focus is always safety, fun, and providing owners a sense of comfort while their pet is in the hands of someone they can trust. You can count on me to deliver the best job possible every time and give your pets the love and kindness they deserve. I look forward to connecting and working with you and your pets in the future! I currently have open availability and tons of time to give your pet the care and attention they need. I’m very flexible and and can always provide more care incase if an emergency/late flight etc. When providing any kind of pet care in a clients home I always make sure to be respectful of the space and follow instructions attentively. Trust is fundamentally important to me and I promise to follow any guidelines/instructions for your pet you and leave your home cleaner than when I found it.

About: I have had animals my whole life and always also have been employed in animal care fields. Personally have 5 dogs and 4 cats. I also have experience with farm animals including horses. I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I can always adjust my day as needed to fit your desired schedule. I understand the importance of routines for your pets and with a flexible schedule can always make sure their needs are met and they are happy and stress free.

“Daniel is very accommodating and helpful. He seemed keen on building a good rapport with our dogs and cat. We’ll be asking him to look after them again.”

“John dog sat for us when we went away for 8 days. Maggie was well taken care of. He sent us pictures with updates every day without fail. He was very accommodating the last day when our plane was delayed, and he offered to take care of Maggie for an additional night!”
