“Mickala is terrific!. Freya was well cared for with timely check-ins and excellent communication from Mickala every visit. Our trip was stress free and we came home to a happy cat.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner since I was 5 years old! Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals and friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. My experience has a wide range. I grew up training my puppy and nurturing my kittens until they were cats, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve also cared for my pregnant cat and her four kittens, giving me experience with both everyday pet care and more hands-on responsibilities. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the same patience, attention, and care I’ve always given my own animals! I’m a full-time college student, but I am extremely flexible! With short days of classes my afternoons and evenings are wide open! I’m open to overnight and early morning care as well! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, medication, walking, playtime, and bathroom instructions carefully and make sure they always have fresh water and a clean environment. I love giving pets plenty of attention and companionship, while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic and more independent pets, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I also believe communication is important! I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and leave your home just as I found it.

“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.”

About: I have experience taking care of pets with varying attachment styles - ranging from anxious, young dogs to elderly, affectionate cats who need lots of attention! I am very adaptable and can match a pet's energy levels well. I appreciate taking the time to get to know a pet in order to build a comfortable bond. I am a local graduate student, I mostly have classes in the mornings during the week and currently have limited responsibilities outside of school, so I have lots of time to dedicate to pet care. I like to learn pets' physical boundaries, so I ease into how I approach playing and petting with them. When I have cared for anxious pets who experience separation anxiety when away from their owners, I focus my care on maintaining a calm environment in the home while making sure they are fed and hydrated.

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 full time Monday-Friday 8 Am-4:30 Pm. My job is very flexible so If you book with me I can work my schedule at work to fit your pet's needs. 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 have been a dog walker and pet sitter since I was very young. I enjoy walking dogs and spending time with people’s pets. I have had cats my whole life and enjoy the company of animals and have experience with pets with health issues that need special consideration. I am available all week and weekends for daily walks and care taking. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to work around you and your pet’s needs I will be happy to care for pets in clients homes, and as a new home owner myself I understand how important it is to respect a home and care for it well :)

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a kid, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I’m heading to UMass to study Animal Science and hope to join the National Guard to gain EOD bomb-sniffing dog experience. I currently own a high-energy Border Collie/Australian Kelpie mix I rescued, and I’ve also cared for an elderly Shih Tzu who needed lots of special attention and patience. I’m very work-oriented, reliable, and people have told me I’m great with customer service. Neighbors, friends, and family often count on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. As a full-time student, I’ve built a schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I also work at a doggy daycare in Avon, CT, so my work schedule usually varies throughout the week. I’m happy to communicate my availability ahead of time and work with each pet parent to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I’m generally more flexible on days I’m not working and can often accommodate evenings and weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Working at a doggy daycare has given me experience handling dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to their body language and routines and always make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise, attention, rest, food, and potty breaks. I also understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow each pet’s specific routine and their owner’s instructions.

“Excellent communication. Booked on short notice. The dogs loved her.”

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 9 years old- I find such joy in connecting with animals and getting to know their unique personalities! Various close connections in my life have and continue to rely on me to care for their pets when they are away or need extra support for their pets. I am excited to meet you and your animals and build relationships with people and fur babies of all kinds! I am prioritizing caring for pets, therefore have a very flexible schedule! Reach out to me and I am positive we can find a schedule and routine that works for us both :) I can crate your dog if necessary through experience with my own dogs, and I have experience administering medication safely when necessary. I am very diligent about ensuring the safety of pets to abide with whatever their owners are comfortable with.

“We contacted Bree to watch our 2 cats while we were away from the weekend. We didn't know anyone in the area and it was the first time leaving our young cat at home for more than a day. Bree was awesome - she stopped by to meet the cats and see where everything was before we went away. She provided great pictures of the cats during all visits and they seemed to warm to her really well! She spent time playing with them and I feel that she really went the extra mile in terms of caring for the pets and helping out with other misc things (like bringing in packages). You can tell that Bree is both experienced in caring for animals and truly loves being around them. I will definitely be reaching out to her for all future pet-sitting needs!”

About: I’ve had many dogs and cats as pets and there have been medical issues I have learned to deal with such as asthma, arthritis injections and heart murmurs. I have also worked at vet clinics for summer jobs! I am currently a full time student as UMASS Amherst. Most of my availability will be on weekends but I can also do weekday evenings. I will not be in MA during holidays since I go home to my family. I can drop-in to feed animals or I can spend some time with the animals. I am happy to go for walks or if the animals prefer to stay inside, I can bring some work to do while I am there.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in elementary school. I would pet sit for friends and neighbors, along with work at vets office for a few years in college. I currently have a black lab named York with my partner. I work an 8-4 job Monday thru Friday, so I am available for early morning, afternoon, and evening check ins. Along with overnights and weekend availability. My focus is to treat your pet like they are my own. Which means good play time and making sure they get their meals on time. I am able to do walks, handle administration of medications, dietary requirements.

“Great communication!”

About: I've worked in multiple areas of animal care including breeding and puppy development, dog daycare, and veterinary care. I have experience caring for all different breeds and ages of dogs! I don't have much professional experience with cats, but I have lived with many cats throughout my life and am a huge cat lover! I do not have any pets myself as I recently lost my dog. So i am in serious need of some dog time! I am available any time after 2:00pm sunday-thursday and all day friday and saturday(: some days i am available earlier than that, typically sundays and mondays im available around 12:30-1:00pm. I am happy to accommodate any of your pet's needs! I can walk, play, just give love, whatever makes your baby feel the most enriched and happy. I know every dog and cat has their own specific needs and I'm very dedicated to that! I live in a small studio apartment. There is plenty of great space to take walks near my house (i live right on the bike trail) but i do not have a fenced in yard. If this sounds like it could be suitable for your pet, i'm more than happy to board them(:

“Our dog Rosie loved having Brittany stop by to feed and walk her while we were away for the day. Brittany is kind, reliable, and did a great job - thanks again!! 😊”

About: I have experience and love for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and ages. Though my schedule fluctuates, I can usually provide potty breaks, outdoor time, and walks up to two times a day, in addition to morning and bedtime feeding and other miscellaneous requests. I look forward to getting to know and love your dogs! I work a part time, flexible schedule, so with enough notice, I can be around for much if not all of the day, and stay overnight where necessary. I care for pets in their homes, but I unfortunately do not offer boarding or pet services in my home at this time. I will always treat your home environment with the respect and care it deserves. It is always my goal to leave your home the same or better than I found it, and leave your pets feeling happy, loved, and safe upon departure.

“Janet was very communicative & understanding of my shy girl. You can tell right from the meet & greet she is very sweet and caring with animals. She was available at a last minutes notice and followed detailed instructions. Will definitely have her back! Thanks Janet!”

“Georgia was absolutely amazing. She even alerted me that the power was out, so I could call the electric company. Zoe was a well cared for cat!”

“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.”
