Cat Sitting in Holyoke

“Noah was very pleasant, responsive, and great with the puppies. He is a great communicator and a very nice person. I’d recommend him very highly to look after anybody’s loved pets.”

“Five stars isn’t enough. Our cat Felix absolutely fell in love with Eryn. He was relaxed, happy, and clearly adored while we were away. We got great updates, thoughtful care, and came home to a very content boy. Truly exceptional experience — we’ll be booking again without hesitation.”

“Ace was super gentle and patient with my anxious shy guy! He took a liking to Ace quickly— not the norm for my dog. Ace was communicative and took great pics of my boy. Thank you Ace!! Will 100% book again soon ☺️”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since the beginning of high school. I have dogsat for family and friends, and friends of them as well. They have relied on me to feed, walk, and stay with their pets when they are away. I’m currently a full time teacher that works from 7 am - 2:30 pm Mon-Fri, but I can be available weekdays after 2:30 pm and on most weekends! I make sure to leave the place the way I entered it. I always clean up after myself and make sure to clean from the pet as well. I follow the rules and expectations of the house owner.

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.

“Lindsey was fantastic! She cared for our two kitties while we were on vacation for 10 days, and everything was perfect. The cats had an stress-free time and getting to see her notes with photos was wonderful. Highly recommend!”

“Jacklyn was an excellent sitter for my cat! She was punctual, very friendly, and went the extra mile by playing with her during her visits! Each visit, she sent a highly detailed summary and pics which were very reassuring for me while traveling. I highly recommend Jacklyn as a reliable sitter, you will not be disappointed.”

About: I have been a pet owner since I was in my 20s. Over the years I have rescued a number of animals in need, both dogs and cats. I have also helped friends with their animals, including taking them to the vet and watching them when their owners were out of town. With my own dog, we have a routine that includes multiple walks per day, as well as at least one car ride. I believe in following a pet's routine. I am free in the summer and on the weekends and in the evenings. It all depends on what someone needs in a person caring for their pet. I believe in following what a pet owner needs for the comfort of their animal. Depending on the need of your animal, I can take care of walks, bringing them to the park, feeding them, and whatever else they need.

About: Hi, I’m Brianna! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of pet care experience, and I’m excited to provide loving, dependable care for your dog. While I’m fairly new to Rover, I have 8+ years of hands-on animal care experience, including working with Holyoke Community College’s Veterinary Technician Program, where I helped care for animals housed on campus. As a pet parent to two rescue pets, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patience, compassion, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra attention or medication. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I currently have open availability and welcome inquiries regarding specific scheduling needs. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your preferred dates and times. For overnight dog-sitting services, I am available to stay at your residence, as I have two pets of my own: a cat and a dog (Drax and Griswold). This arrangement allows me to provide attentive, uninterrupted care for your pets in the comfort of their familiar environment. However, I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits upon request.

“Robin is so communicative and professional. I know she will show love and care to my animals just the way I would. She encourages them to play and have fun while making sure they are eating and drinking. All of their needs are met and they are happy and relaxed when we come home.”

Tucker G.

“Aemelia was great. We and our puppies really enjoyed interacting with her. She was able to accommodate our last minute needs and was very cool about it. We will for sure be contacting her again and again.”

Bianca N.

“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.”

Daniela R.

“Annie is a super dog sitter! She handled my 2 dogs with TLC and met both their daily needs beautifully. She’s extremely pleasant, responsive and easy to communicate with! I highly recommend Annie☺️!!!!”

Jean K.

“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!”

Nancy F.

“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: I am a certified vet tech with about 15 years experience. Additional years for pet ownership. I have been with animals my whole life and have dedicated the rest of my life to help to take care of them and make them happy. I can administer any type of medication, give subcutaneous fluids, or snuggle. Monday through Thursday I work from 7-5. I can do home visits three times daily on those days. Fridays and weekends are more flexible. My children are active participants in taking care of animals as they have been exposed to different types of pets with different demeaners. They understand to give pets their boundaries when they need their space. I have a fenced in yard for my active greyhound. I also have two cats who have automatic feeders and water fountains. My cats are older ladies so they don’t want to play but they are wonderful snugglers. My greyhound loves attention and his favorite is butt scratches. The foster pets that I would take care of would have their own safe space to be comfortable in my home.

“Everything was great! She sent us photos of the dogs which helped us feel more comfortable while being away. She even helped pull our trash cans is after trash day. She was amazing!”

About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

About: I have 12+ years of experience caring for many animals with a wide range of needs, from basic care to special medication and feeding routines, and from crate and house training puppies to caring for elderly cats and dogs with arthritis, diabetes and blindness. Each animal is unique, and has a special personality. Your pets health and happiness is my priority, as is yours. I can provide as many updates as necessary, but giving as least one per day/per visit is important to me. I love to share with you about the funny thing your dog or cat did when I walked in the door, and I want to make sure you are up to date on behavior, feeding, play time, and potty time so that you can give me any necessary feedback. I love ALL animals, and in addition to cats and dogs, I also have experience with many small animals such as many types of rodents including ferrets, a small variety of reptiles, and some birds. I will even feed your fish and water your plants! Your pets won't be disappointed (and neither will you!) I have several small businesses and work from home on a flexible schedule. I'm a single parent, with almost no help, so sometimes that requires me to bring one or both of my children to work with me, always with my clients permission. That does not affect my reliability or the quality of care your pets receive. It is a challenge, but no one ever said being a single parent would be easy! I have lots of space to fill with cats and dogs and I can and will always accommodate your pets schedule and ensure they receive the best care and love next to what you provide them. I have two animal loving dogs and an animal loving cat! I also have 2 animal respecting children. My goal is to earn the trust of your pet, during any of the services I offer, and make sure that their time with me is stress free, fun and engaging so they have the best stories to tell their parents when they return. **Note for house sitting clients only: most overnight services I must bring my youngest child with me. She is disabled and in a wheelchair and I have much trouble finding overnight care for her. She is quiet and easygoing, she is unable and unwilling to approach your animals, but shows happiness when they approach her. Her presence does not affect my ability to give your pets 5 star care. Accessibility to your home is usually not a concern, and will also not hinder my ability to accommodate your pets needs and schedule. **

About: My love for dogs and exercise naturally led to the road of pet care giver. I’ve had vast experiences with various dog sizes and ages and loved them all. I have pet sit for neighbors and family friends since the age of 12 and that in fact has made me closer to them. My days have currently opened up and I have plenty of time to walk, pet sit, and play around with your dog. With me, your dog will be the number 1 priority. I have a fenced backyard with ample spaces for your pups to play. I also have 2 adorable small pups of my own that are always welcoming of new and old friends.
