Top rated Holyoke dog sitters

“Nicole was great with the dogs, on time for visits, and a great communicator. We have our next vacation booked with her. I would highly recommend her to take the anxiety out of leaving the pups behind for time out of the house!”


“Emily was reliable and consistent in caring for our kitties. She was punctual and thorough and took care of their physical and emotional needs (feeding, litter box, play and cuddles), and provided detailed narratives and pictures from each visit. Definitely would recommend.”

“Rick provided exceptional care for our two energetic German Shepherds during several consecutive overnight stays. His calm and confident demeanor was a perfect match for our pups, creating a sense of comfort and trust from the very beginning. It’s clear that Rick has a natural connection with animals—our dogs were so happy and relaxed in his care that we’ve affectionately started calling his visits “Camp Rick.” Having someone as responsible, compassionate, and attentive as Rick watching over our beloved pets gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re incredibly grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier pet care.”


“Taylor was seriously a life saver for me and my boyfriend when we desperately needed a dog sitter to watch our dog in our hotel room at Mirror Lake. We reached out to Taylor who responded immediately with flexibility in her schedule to hang out with my puppy Moose for a few hours. Moose absolutely loved her and enjoyed the time he spent with her. He’s an anxious dog but with Taylor he was completely relaxed and comfortable in her presence. I will definitely be calling Taylor again on my next vacation in upper new york and confidently recommending her to friends. She was a pleasure to work with. Thank you so so much again Taylor!!”


About: I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I work from home. I stay home all day and have a fenced backyard. Your pet can play in the yard and be at home comfortably I can crate your dog if needed. I have a big fence yard where he/she can play all day. I currently do not have pets at home.

About: I am 30 years old and have had pet dogs for my entire life. I used to volunteer at a shelter walking dogs and completed the orientation that went over recognizing animal body language. I am basically the designated pet sitter of my family and have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes (and some cats). Petsitting has become my main work at the moment, so I will be available as needed for any bookings to check in, play, feed, walk, and care for your pets. I regularly pet and house sit for friends and family and can adjust to the routines your pets are used to. I am always careful to follow any directions provided and make sure any gates, harnesses, leashes, etc. are secured.

About: I owned and cared for a dog for 10 years and have experience caring for a variety of pets. Always careful about details when it comes to care. I am self employed and thus I am able to devote full attention as necessary to pet care when I am working for you and on the clock. I always am careful to understand the environment I am in and how it relates to the pet I am caring for. I also take plenty of notes on care details.

“My cat usually does not like new people, but she quickly was at ease with Justin. He clearly loves animals and has good kitty vibes! He was very prompt with his visits. I will definitely hire him again!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am loving and have compassion. Every time I meet a new dog they can sense the good energy from me. I am currently working full-time. I can come by and take care of the dogs or cats for however long after 11am as well as do drops in. I can care for pets at my clients house by maintaining a boundary in where the dogs or cats are supposed to be. As well as set up a little place where they can be at so I can watch them and play.

About: Nice to meet you! I’m thrilled you decided to visit my Rover page to read a little about me. Hi there! I'm Viki — a devoted, passionate, dedicated animal companion and advocate with a calm, caring presence and over 15 years of hands-on experience with pups of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have a deep respect for every pet's personality: Whether your furry friend is a playful, curious little one focusing on potty breaks and training support, to playtime and structure for those energetic adults, to gentle walks and extra comfort for sweet senior companions to those pups who are shy and sensitive, or those who require assistance or have wheels, or maybe you have that rambunctious pup and ya just can’t figure out how to get rid of that extra energy (or weight) — it can turn into things like lunging, reactivity, misguided aggression, I’m ready to meet them where they are — with thoughtful, personalized patience and care every animal deserves. My goal is simple: to ensure your family member is safe, relaxed, loved, and happy while you're away — and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in kind, capable hands. I’m reliable, intuitive and we’ll tailor your pet’s care plan to meet their specific needs, requirements and routines. You’ll receive open and honest communication and your pup will receive a tail-wagging good time! If you’re looking for someone who truly understands animals, and will care for yours with compassion and skill, I’d love to meet your fur family and you! **Please contact me for current rates** rates may change without notice / rates are non-negotiable. (No boarding at this time). Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around the pets I care for ensuring I’m available for their walks, appointments, drop-ins, feedings, medication administration, special needs and playtime. I’m organized, consistently on time and I ensure every furry friend receives the loving care, attention they deserve and they are comfortable before I leave the home. I also build flexibility into my schedule depending on situational needs of my clients. I sincerely enjoy spending time with my each one of my furry friends as their care is my top priority. My expertise comes in, to ensure the needs of my furry friends are met as their parents deserve peace of mind when they’re away. Safety is my Priority! Family’s and I meet before beginning a new journey together. Normal steps for getting to know a new family and their furry family member are the following: — Introductory Phone or Video Call: depending upon technical connection and circumstances. — Schedule a meet and greet: 1/2 hr to 1hr —make a schedule This establishes trust between both parties by getting to know one another, and while I’m there I can do a safety check, at no cost to new clients. I also take meticulous notes during our meeting so nothing is missed.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong background in animal care and hands-on experience with a variety of animals. As a junior at UMass Amherst studying Biology Pre-Med and Animal Science Pre-Vet, I’ve worked with both household pets and larger farm animals, giving me a well-rounded understanding of their needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and caring for both young and senior pets who require extra attention. I’ve worked at PetSmart as a Pets Hotel Associate, where I have cared for over one thousand different dogs, and sixty cats. My academic knowledge and real-world experience allow me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet I watch. I am currently working part-time at a vaccination/neutering clinic, so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets! I would love to work any day except Tuesday and Wednesday at any time! I care for your pets in your home by carefully following your instructions and paying close attention to their body language. Since animals can’t communicate with words, their movements and behavior are key to understanding their needs and comfort levels. I make sure to respect their boundaries and respond appropriately, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: My first responsibility I had as a 4 year old was feeding our family dog, Shannon. Since then, I not only helped feed, walk and care for my own pets, but have helped others as well. Whether it was classroom fish, or boisterous double-dog walks, I always love making a pet's day brighter. I take pets' well-being seriously and like to do all I can to make your pet feel at home and worry-free in your absence. During the school year, I have limited availability during evenings and weekends. During the summer and school vacations, I am available weekdays, weeknights, and on most weekends. I offer drop-ins for cats, dogs, bunnies, and other small animals. I also offer dog walking. I am an avid athlete so I am happy to take on energized dogs who like long walks. I have experience administering oral medication and injections.

“Brookelyn and Avery did a wonderful job dropping in to watch our cats for the holiday! They used safety measures to come into our home safely while we were gone which made us feel secure. They were easy to communicate with and prompt. We plan to use them again, should we need pet sitters.”


About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13 years old, back then it was mostly drop ins but now I do overnights and walks for dogs or any animal that cant be alone at night! Many friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets and I can't wait to meet yours! I'm currently available for overnight stays and walks. However I am a student (studying animal science!) so I will have to be away for that most days. If I am doing drop-ins or an overnight stay I will do everything I can to keep your pet's routine the same as when you are home! Of course, I'd love to take your fur baby on a walk as well!

About: Hi there! I’m a passionate animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visits, or just some company and cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help! 🐶 🐱 I’m flexible and available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week—including weekends! Just send me a message and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I have a fenced in yard, and one small male dog. He is a Scottish terrier rescue, around 9, and is very friendly with other dogs and humans.

Viki V.
“Viki and I go back several years ago. We met when I was walking my service dog, Cami to the park. Cami absolutely loved Viki. Every time we walked past her house, Cami would look back to see if she could see her. Viki helped me set-up a foot washing basin for Cami's feet to wash in the Winter months. Helping get off the rock salt and other stuff. Viki is kind and considerate and loves animals. She offered to cut Cami's nails and gave other care tips. I used some of her suggestions. I think Viki would be very helpful to someone who needs pet care.”
