About: I have Joyfully shared my entire life with pets for 70 years now!! I speak Fluent Feline and Canine and have been a pet parent to dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, turtles and fish as a child and provided daycare for birds. I am also a Certified Level ll Reiki Energy Practitioner. My services include Housesitting, Drop-ins and both dog and cat walking! My beloved Josie used to love going outside on a harness and leash since she and brother Shadow were feral-born barn kitties and then “indoor only” rescue pets for 15+ years! My “Platinum Spa” Services include pet massage and Reiki sessions for an additional fee for Housesitting and Drop In clients. My Passion to care for other people’s pets as a new career/business stems from the tragic loss of both my feline companions at the end of 2024. I have decided to no longer own pets myself and to get my “Pet Love Fixes” by Pampering My Client’s pets as if they were my own!! I have maximum flexibility with scheduling 24/7 for all services in the 5 Colleges Area of Western MA. I am also available to travel outside my local area to provide pet, plant and housesitting services upon request. I provide a full menu of services at client’s homes including multiple walks daily on leash, outings to local dog parks and hiking trails, specialized diets and medications, senior and disabled pet care, active playtime, basic training reinforcement, photos and text updates on how your pet is doing with each visit. My exclusive pet massage and Reiki treatments can enhance your pet’s health and happiness under my care!!

About: My passion for dogs is as natural to me as breathing - whether it’s taking care of my own pets or someone else’s, my love of each pet is always deep and sincere. I know that each dog has their own unique personality and needs which requires high level of attention to detail. I am currently working full time, M-F 8:30-5:00. My weekday evenings are typically free, and my weekends are wide open. I am also available most holidays and the surrounding days. I take safety very seriously in all situations to ensure a happy and healthy experience for pets and the people around them. I always have a first aid kit and a backup leash with me when I take your dog for a walk and never allow strangers to approach. When greeting and leaving your pet, you can trust that I will perform a general inspection to ensure they are healthy and in a secure environment.

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.

“Our dog and cat Cooper and Lucky both adore Annika and we always feel like they are left in fantastic animal loving hands when we are away. They couldn't be cared for any better. She is fabulous!”

“Great communication, takes good care of my doggies. Will definitely book again :)”

About: I have had 2 dogs for over 10 years now just recently one past away losing that connection has made me want to be able to be there for other dog's like I am to my own. I have pet sit for family friends when they attend vacations or work events. I currently work part-time, so I am available in the early mornings and afternoons. I work nights on Mondays and Wednesday but are usually out by 9pm. I have a dog and 2 cats, So I am not sure how my dog would react to another dog living in her home. I do have a crate and a yard to walk on leash but no fence to free roam.

About: I've had many different pets including dogs and cats! Experienced with different ages and needs including medications, behavioral, and sizes. Available for boarding, drop in, and walks I currently work mostly from home so I'm flexible for boarding and daytime visits. Love taking long walks and spending time at home with animals. Happy to take dogs on long walks and nature adventures with permission. I have cats and rabbits at home as well. I also have separate space for boarding or day care. Looking for consistent clients to build lasting relationships between me and your pet(s), as well as any last minute needs from new clients.

About: Fur mama to two kitties, besties with my roommates’ frenchie, and a proud fur auntie to many! I grew up in a family with dogs, cats, turtles, fish, birds, and reptiles, allowing me to develop a deep love for all animals. I've had various experience with house and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. I've got plenty of experience with bathing, administering medications, trimming nails, cleaning up messes, and keeping animals enriched/entertained. I trust that you know how to care for your pets best and will follow instructions carefully, always asking clarifying questions if needed. I have a special place in my heart for those that are elderly and/or more shy/anxious that may need more time to warm up to folks. I'm honored to be considered for the care of your fur baby and look forward to meeting them. :) A little about me: I'm a 30 year old grad student pursuing an MSW at Smith College and will be graduating this summer to become a therapist. I spend my free time walking, journaling, reading, and traveling. I have two kitties who I rescued from shelters that have become my shadow - they follow me all over the home and I happily keep them entertained with lots of love, play time, and prompt meal times. With every client, I strive to be the type of sitter you'll want to rave about to your friends/family about and that your pet adores. Clients who book me to housesit for 7+ nights or 5+ walks/drop-ins get a complimentary personalized pawty favor from me! I am currently an MSW student at Smith College, my general availability is as follows: Sunday: All Day Monday: 11a-1p, 4-9pm Tuesday: 11a-1p, 4-9pm Wednesday: 8a-9pm Thursday: 1-9pm Friday: 1-9pm Saturday: All Day I prefer in-person Meet & Greets so that we can discuss the expectations we have for each other and your pet can get familiar with me. I'll want to know your pet's history of aggression, anxiety or bad habits so that we can prepare and have the appropriate plan in action for potential incidents. Tell me everything! I like being prepared for it all. I treat all animals under my supervision with as much love & care as I treat my own.

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!

“Jaclyn took excellent care of our cat and was easy to work with. Good experience!”

About: I have cared and worked with cats and dogs since a young age. I will take my time to get to know your animals and they will trust and look forward to seeing me! I work as an educator, so my summer is open and super flexible. In July, I will be working from 8:30am - 12pm Monday through Thursday. Either way, I am a morning person. I love waking up and relaxing on the couch with the animals drinking some coffee or tea, and then spending the day on the couch or outside running around depending on their mood. I fully communicate with clients to ensure set boundaries and specific pet care needs. I can be hands on and active, or simply a presence in the room to ease anxiety.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and passion for pet care. As a pet parent to 4 dogs and 2 cats, I understand that pets are family and treat every pet as if they were my own. I truly love pet sitting and providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I play soccer, and my practices are typically from 9:30–11:30, but I'm available for visits before practice and anytime afterward. I'm flexible and happy to work with your pet's schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they need! I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my client's home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also make sure to keep owners updated with messages and lots of cute photo updates. I treat every pet as if they were my own and my goal is to always create a safe, caring, and stress-free environment while their family is away.

About: *listed experience is for dogs, as cats seem to have their own experience area* I love dogs, cats, (guinea pigs, bunnies, and hedgehogs too—though I don't think that's an option here). I grew up with 3 cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and chickens. I have lived with cats and small dogs multiple times (housemates), and I have petsitted for friends and neighbors throughout my life. I have limited experience with walking dogs (I grew up with cats) but have loads of previous and current experience playing with dogs (family and friends). In college I walked and played with greyhounds at a rescue for racing greyhounds, and I also worked for a little bit at an animal shelter. I'd like to use this opportunity to figure out which type of dog I'd like to adopt someday. For now, as a new sitter on here, I'd be most comfortable doing drop in and play visits with cats and dogs of all sizes, and walking dogs of medium size or less. I've been told I have a calm energy when meeting animals, and the three dogs my friends currently own seem to gravitate towards me. I also like playing tug, throwing sticks, and having a lap dog come to me for rubs. I work at a school and have off in the summer. I have a flexible schedule in the summer aside from a few small trips. My plan is to update my schedule frequently to keep up with my availability. When I am back at work, I will have to revamp my schedule. As for right now, I would prefer to go to the pet's home, as mine is not currently pet appropriate (plants and size). If I come to know a cat and owner well, I would adjust and put the plants in a closed room so the kitty could safely roam the rest of the house. At a pet's house, I would love a run down of their favorite toys, when treats are allowed to be given, etc. I love taking photos already, so would absolutely love to photograph your dog or cat being cute and fun, and send those as an update.

“Emily did a great job of watching over all of our pets while we were gone. She sent lots of photos and was very responsive. We'd definitely book her again.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother ran an animal rescue, and I was fortunate to spend my childhood helping care for, socialize, and train animals of all kinds; primarily dogs and cats. This experience taught me not only how to understand animal behavior, but also the patience, compassion, and consistency that every pet deserves. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. As a pet sitter and walker, I treat every animal as an individual and make their comfort, safety, and well-being my top priorities. You can expect reliable communication, attentive care, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need an extra helping hand. Experience Highlights * Raised in a family-run animal rescue environment * Experience caring for and handling dogs and cats of all ages * Familiar with basic training and positive reinforcement techniques * Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets * Patient, gentle, and attentive to individual needs * Reliable communication and dependable care As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply having a calm presence nearby, I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. I take pride in being reliable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I provide calm, attentive, and individualized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship and affection. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond appropriately to each pet’s comfort level; whether they are energetic, shy, anxious, or senior. I aim to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere where pets feel secure and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home (when applicable), I ensure a quiet, clean, and supervised environment with consistent routines, regular outdoor breaks, enrichment, and lots of attention. Safety is always the top priority, and I only introduce new animals in a controlled and compatible way. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine care.

“So happy I found Daniel because I know June is getting all kinds of love, attention and mental and physical exercise. He’s a real pro and clearly loves what he does.”

“Thank you, Charlie! Charlie came over for a pretty last minute drop that we needed. Charlie was great with Otis and Juno, and I can tell their love for animals shows up in their work and commitments (: will definitely be booking again.”

About: I have had various dog sitting & walking experiences since I was in high school for friends, their family members, and other people in the community. I love nature & getting outside; getting to share that with your pets would be wonderful. I currently make my own schedule for the week so I have flexibility & time to spend with your animals. On the weekends I work 8-2 but I still have afternoons completely open! I treat your pets with as much love and respect as I would my own. I would love to meet your furry friend & establish a trusting relationship with them before watching them. I have cared for dogs before that have needed medication and as long as it is outlined with directions that is something I am comfortable with.

About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.
