Dog Sitting in Hadley

“Heather is an incredible cat sitter! She loved our kitties, and they loved her! The pictures and report cards we received were exactly what we needed since we missed Mercury and Lynx so much while we were away for two weeks. Heather is caring, loves playing with the cats, is experienced, and knowledgable. She's also very communicative and knew exactly what we needed as pet parents leaving their cats for the first vacation since we adopted them. We would absolutely hire Heather again and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi - I'm Andy and during the summer, I grow organic veggies on a farm and in the winter I am a full-time pet caretaker :) I am currently farming part time 8-4 Tues-Thurs and part time baking Friday/Sunday 8-3. I am usually an early riser but can also wake up earlier or stay out later depending on your pet's needs. I've grown up taking care of my own dog, Maddie, a small cockapoo, and also taking care of friends' cats, puppies, dogs, birds, and rodents. My housemate had a cat, MooMoo, when I lived with her in college and it was very fun taking care of her and snuggling. I also have my own baby, Triple, a tabby cat who I love dearly who stays at my place.

About: Hello my name is Nieves, I have been a devoted animal lover my whole life! I enjoy spending time with animals, and lived with my own beloved dog Roscoe Burgers, until he passed in the fall. I believe every animal is unique and special, and worth getting to know. I am looking to spend time with your furry loved ones, be it going on a walk, or give you complete peace of mind while you are away from home. I am a true animal lover, and can't wait to meet you and your little sweetums. I work from home 3 of the 5 days I work, and enjoy going on walks in the immediate area. I walk before I got to work, on my lunch break, and after work. This is a habit I developed with my beloved pooch, and would be happy to continue with your pup on the leash. I also am happy to provide check-ins, or stays as your pet sitting needs ebb and flow. I am pretty structured, and can stick to the plan, or instructions that you lay out for me. My own dog was sick for almost 2 years near the end of his life, so I am familiar with administering medications, and needing to stick to a stricter timeline as needed. I also enjoy collaging on my phone, and would love to give you picturesque updates of your sweet pal(s).

“So glad we found Rowyn! Communication is great, she is aware of dogs cues, body language & understands it can take time for a dog to adjust to new routines. We can tell our furbaby is happy to play with her by the fun pics we get! She is dependable and we are happy we found her to take care of our fur child !”

“Great communication and I appreciate the short notice and flexibility!”

“It was such a relief to know Jacklyn would be checking on our girls while we were away. We also had to reschedule very last minute and she was incredibly flexible and kind about the changes. Our cats are very shy and hide, but with a bit of patience (and treats!) Jacklyn was able to get eyes on at least one of them! We will absolutely be rebooking the next time we go away. Thank you so much!!”

“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.”

“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 have over 13 years of experience caring for my Labradoodle and have developed a strong understanding of dogs' needs, behaviors, and routines. In addition to caring for my own pet, I have experience walking and looking after friends' dogs, giving me confidence working with pets of different personalities and energy levels. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a UMass student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pet. I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care and treating every animal as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh water, are fed according to instructions, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and have any other needs met. On walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure each dog gets the activity level they need. I treat every pet and home with respect and care, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages.

“Hallie is just so professional and so easy to work with. She took the time to get to know us and how we treat our pups and provides some welcomed feedback and education. She is so responsive to messages and gives great detail with her visits.”

About: I’ve grown up in a household where we always had more than one dog. Love going to the local dog park to let out some high energy or just on scenic rural walks for the pups to be able to relax. I groom my own dogs and have dog/house sat for several people over the years all having different breeds of dogs. I work a local 9-5 but so am all for morning care, stopping in on lunch break, and the after work walk/exercise and dinner routine. Way more availability on the weekends! I would follow whatever routine you have for your dog(s), whether you crate them, they have free domain over the house, they are regulars at the dog park, or they like or need to be taken on solo walks I would follow whatever instructions you have in place :)

“Catherine S loves animals and gave our kitties excellent care. We have already hired her for a second time. Very trustworthy and gave us excellent reports about each visit.”

“This is the second time that I used Amad to care for my cats, he has been great, will stay and play with them, easy to reach and will quickly respond . Overall we highly recommended .”

About: I serve as a small business owner in the animation industry, having been a character animator in video games for over a decade. I always embrace new opportunities through a lens of creative play, which I know pets are the absolute best at! My goal is to make sure your little one has all the fun and zoomies they need for the day, or meet them where they are at if they are having a relaxing day. I have watched pets most recently through Trusted Housesitters as I traveled for a few years. After meeting so many wonderful fur babies, I'm feeling ready to help out at home and provide whatever care you're looking for. I have more experience with mid-late aged dogs, and have administered medication to senior dogs. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, and look forward to meeting your pal! I work remotely, which means I would love to get out of the house and off my computer! :) It also means that I can be flexible to the amount of relaxation or exercise your pet needs. If boarding, I live close to a bike path, so there would be lots of walking opportunities throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible since I own my small business, so I am happy to discuss times that work best for everyone. I'm happy to be as transparent as I can throughout a stay! Whether sending pictures and videos or keeping you up to date however long you need. If staying in your home, I'm very mindful about keeping things tidy. I traveled and stayed in many different types of spaces as a digital nomad for two years, so I'm used to respecting the rules of each space while asking questions if needed.

About: I’ve lived with both cats and dogs since i was a little kid. I think the most special bonds exist between humans and animals and there is nothing more rewarding than being able to spend time with a happy dog or kitty. I’ve watched both a tiny pug and a huge newfoundland, as well as cats of many different personalities, so i would consider myself pretty qualified for both animals! I currently live with a wonderful cat named Goose and I would love to watch your furry friends! I am a full time student as well as a couple of part time jobs, but I can always fit time in during the week whether it’s a simple walk or more extensive care. I’m also pretty open in the evenings! I can adapt to your pet routine easily, as long as provided with instructions. I think pets deserve lots of love and attention as well as exercise and I’m more than happy to provide that!

“Alexio is fantastic with my pets. My dog Sophie is a bit of an anxious pup and Alex has many training tricks up his sleeve to keep her comfortable and calm. When he has watched Sophie and my cat Romeo he has gone above and beyond his requested duties. My pets love him and so do I. I will continue to contact Alex first to watch my fur babies any time they need it.”

“Hazel took such good care of our cat while we were gone for a week, always leaving sweet notes and taking the best pictures. We could tell our cat, who can be a bit shy, really bonded with her. Definitely recommend!!”

About: I was blessed with a feline friend at the age of 2. Although I do not remember all of our times together, she has been by my side through all of life's up's and down's. We have even experienced the responsibility of sharing our home with 2 more companions: a Maltese and a Chihuahua! It is quite a random pool of different beings! Nevertheless, we all seem to get along. I do all I can to ensure their well being is top notch. You really grow a love for your companion(s) and it's hard to not care for them. I am full time and have no restrictions to my schedule. I am available as early as 6:00am and can accommodate appointments during sundown. I am easy to communicate with and straightforward with negotiations. It is a dogs fantasy: a large neighborhood with quiet streets to explore, 2 nearby parks to frolic and play, with a dog park frequently visited by other furry friends and their owners.

About: I have always loved and lived with pets. Growing up we had multiple cats and a dog or two at any given time. In high school, I convinced my mom to foster a litter of kittens for our local humane society and we ended up caring for litters and kittens and puppies as well as seniors and sickly dogs for years to come. Right out of college I adopted my cat, and she has been my constant companion ever since. A decade later I rescued a very reactive dog and worked for 5 years on his reactivity. We made great improvements together! If you need someone to walk your reactive dog during the day, I’m your gal! I’d also love to care for your chill, non-reactive dog when you go out of town. I have a very active toddler, so I can only board dogs who are reliably safe around small children. I am available Monday-Thursday from 9-3 for drop ins and dog walks, with some flexible availability on the weekends too. Available for boarding as well this winter I have a large fenced portion of my back yard, as well as easy access to the bike path. We have some baby gates in our house, and more in storage, if that makes sense to make your pets comfortable.

“Michelle was very conscientious about my two cats well being while they were in her care. She did a great job and I would hire her again for sure!”
