Dog Sitting in Holyoke

About: I grew up with dogs. First, an eighty-pound lab with a five-hundred-pound personality. Then a water dog who swam with me all summer in Lake Michigan. And bulldogs, so many bulldogs. Now my wife and I live in Easthampton with a fifteen-pound walking Beanie Baby we adopted from Dakin. I could not live without dogs, and I wouldn’t want to. I would treat your dog like my own. I work part-time, which means your dog isn't competing with a packed schedule. Monday through Saturday, 8 am to 6:30 pm, I'm available for walks, drop-ins, or simply keeping your pup company. Six years of professional walking taught me a few things. 1) Standard leash only, four to six feet, never retractable. I bring my own, but am happy to use yours. 2) Never rush a dog through a sniff, because that fire hydrant at the end of the block is important information and your dog knows it. 3) Always clean up after them. 4) No AirPods, ever; I’d rather keep an ear out for oncoming traffic and any renegade squirrels. 5) Make walks fun. That means positive reinforcement, goofy voices, and treats for good sits and stays. Treats are on me.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats(only a couple) since I was a kid. My friends, family, and nanny families knew they had someone they could trust to take care of and love their fur baby like it was mine. I have lived with a dog my entire life-all rescues(Golden Retriever, Pitty Mixes, King Charles Spaniel, Rotty Mix, Lab Mixes, Great Dane…) Our current fur baby Midnight is a senior Lab Pitty mix. I have experience caring for puppies to seniors. I am comfortable giving medication, feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up after, and transporting your dog. I have less experience with cats, but have house sat several cats-making sure to follow their feeding schedule and cleaning out their litter box. I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I worked with children 6 weeks to 5 years old for over 12 years. Which means I have lots of patience, love, and understanding. I have been lucky to be able to stay home with our daughter the last five years. But I am ready to make my way back into part-time work. I believes pets are our family and I will treat yours like mine. It would be a honor to help care for and love on them. I am currently a stay at home mom. My daughter is in preschool three days a week and starting kindergarten in the fall. So I have flexibility in my schedule. At the moment I am available Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 9am-12:30pm, and flexible Thursdays and weekends. I can do drop ins, hangout time, playtime, walks, and lots of snuggles and pets. At the moment I am not able to board any dogs or cats. My sweet boy was attacked in his foster home and still learning to trust other dogs again. I am comfortable come to your house to care for your pets.

“I was super nervous finding and trusting someone to care for my two anxious dogs. Walter is afraid of people and Zoe took her time to let him warm up to her and he now gets so excited when she comes over. I couldn’t recommend Zoe more and will be using her services from now on.”

Mary L.

“Sierra was amazing! I really felt I could relax on vacation because she went above and beyond for my cat, Rory. I will definitely book her again when I go on vacation.”

Sandy D.

“She was so nice, on time, took great pics, and paid attention to all animals in the house.”

Jillian W.

“Ash was wonderful! Super responsive to my last minute booking, took really good care of my very social cats, giving them extra pets and attention, and very communicative throughout. They were also super helpful and flexible when our travel plans changed due to a family medical emergency. I will absolutely be reaching out to Ash for pet care again next time.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5. I love them all! I have a horse named Olay that I board not at my house!) And dogs and a cat! I’m a first grade teacher so I have summer off starting 6/5! So will be able to do anytime at that point! For now I can do weekdays after 3pm and anytime weekends! I have a fenced in yard with lots of fun smells and my dog likes everyone and every dog he’s ever met! He’ll play all day but can als take a hint! Then we can hang out inside too!

“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: I have a big love for dogs and inspired to work with multiple different breeds to be able to learn more about all of them. I currently work full time and get out of work at 2pm everyday, only go to the gym after work for about an hour to an hour and a half and have the rest of the day free. Weekends may vary, but typically don’t have a lot going on. Have a lot of space within the house for the dogs to play around in. Also live with my boyfriend who has a big love for dogs and has a family dog of his own.

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.

About: What does a Disney princess, & dr.dolittle have in common with me? Animals tend to trust & understand us. I find happiness in caring for animals & understand the guilt when you have to go somewhere without your companion. I’m reliable, communicative & take really great photos I’d love to share with you! I work remote, and would like to utilize my abilitity to be home during my breaks and lunch hour, to assist other with their animal care needs. Happy to follow your schedule & system that works in your home. I understand consistency with your companion & keeping in contact so you’re aware of everything that’s happening while you’re away. I understand that piece of mind is everything.

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. **

“Nikki was an amazing cat sitter! She was extremely attentive, played games with the kitties, and sent lots of pictures. She was easy to communicate with and always got back to me quickly. I felt totally at ease with her watching our fur babies! I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
