Dog Sitting Ludlow

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets every day in my own home. I currently care for three dogs—a Pomeranian, a Husky/Lab mix, and a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix—so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I also care for three parakeets and maintain a fish tank, giving me experience with birds and aquatic pets as well. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. Hi, I’m Lunah! I’m currently a senior in college pursuing degrees in Sociology, Psychology, and Criminal Justice. As a lifelong animal enthusiast, I understand that pets are family and deserve dependable, compassionate care. I currently have three dogs—a Pomeranian, a Husky/Lab mix, and a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix—along with three parakeets and a freshwater fish tank. Over the years, I’ve also cared for a rabbit and reptiles, giving me experience with a wide variety of animals. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve cared for my nanny family’s cat, so I’m comfortable providing care in clients’ homes and following each pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with companionship, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their needs. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I’ll always send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer flexible availability and am happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Whether you need dog walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight house sitting, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care. Send me your requested dates, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I can’t wait to meet you and treat your furry family members like they’re my own! 🐾 Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make their safety, comfort, and routine my top priorities. I follow each pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on each pet’s personality and energy level!

“Thanks so much to Charisma for stopping by to let Indigo out & feed him! My first time using the drop-in option on Rover. Great communication, quick replies, & she kept me updated on Indigo with pictures & followed up with me when she left! I will definitely be using her again in the future! 😊”

About: I am an aspiring veterinary nurse with multiple years of experience in animal welfare. I have 3 cats with complex medical needs, so I am well equipped to provide medications or other special care- within my "purrview"! I am a crazy cat lady at heart but love dogs as well. I have experience with drop in visits for cats & dogs, as well as overnight stays. I treat every animal with love & respect and look forward to giving your furry family members some comfort while you're away 🩷 I currently work full time, so I am able to do drop-in visits or walks in the early morning or evening hours. I am able to drop in to give medications, go on walks, or just play & snuggle! I am extremely vigilant about the safety of my home for my own pets, and will carry this attention to detail into your home as well.

“Julie is awesome! I had her stop by to feed my 2 cats, El Gato and Watson, while we were away for a couple days. She went above and beyond. She took time to give each of them some personal attention. She put up with the mosquitoes in our backyard to make sure El Gato was able to have some outside time. Julie is also a photographer, so she took some great pictures while she was visiting.”

“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!”

Paul V.

“Erin was very communicative with us and wonderful when she did a drop-in visit with our dog, Luna! When we returned home, Luna was happy and seemed very content.”

We cant wait to book her again! 10/10”

About: Hi! I’m Mia, a full time professional pet care provider with over five years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. Before starting my own pet care business, I spent five years working at a professional dog daycare and boarding facility, where I worked my way up to Assistant Manager. That experience gave me extensive hands on experience with everything from puppies and seniors to high energy dogs, shy or nervous pets, multi-pet households, and pets with individualized care needs. Today, pet care is my full time job. I love getting to know each pet individually and becoming someone they’re genuinely comfortable and excited to see. I take their routines seriously, pay attention to the little details, and tailor each visit to what that particular pet needs that day. Whether that means a good walk, backyard playtime, puppy care, a slower visit with a senior, or simply some company and attention, my goal is for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. And of course, you can expect plenty of photos and a detailed update after every visit! Pet care is my full time job, so my days are built around my clients! I primarily provide weekday dog walks and drop in visits, along with vacation care for dogs and cats and limited overnight care. Because I work professionally in pet care rather than fitting visits around another job, I’m able to maintain a consistent schedule while still giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. I currently care for a wonderful group of regular weekly clients throughout the Palmer and Wilbraham area, along with pets I see for occasional and vacation care. I believe great pet care should feel as normal and stress-free as possible for your pet. I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pet gets care that actually fits them, whether they’re ready to go the second I walk through the door or need a little extra patience to warm up. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

About: I’ve spent plenty of time around my neighbor’s dog walking, feeding, and cleaning up after him. I’m comfortable with strong pullers and I’m not fazed by mud, rain, or a dog who needs a minute to warm up to me. After every visit you’ll get a photo and a short recap: how the walk went, whether they ate, anything that seemed off. I’m new to Rover, so I’ll be upfront: no training certifications yet. What I do have is wide open availability, a phone I actually answer, and a free meet and greet before any first booking so you can see how your dog reacts to me first. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-ins, plus weekend mornings — Saturdays and Sundays before noon are always open. My part-time work schedule comes out on the weekend, so once I have it I update my Rover calendar and can tell you exactly which days I’m free for the week ahead. If you need something regular, message me and we’ll lock in the days that work. I care for pets in the client’s home, so my goal is to keep your dog’s normal routine intact and leave everything exactly as I found it. For walks: I confirm the leash and harness setup with you first, stick to the route and pace your dog is used to, keep them leashed the entire time, and always clean up. I bring water on warm days and check paws before we head back in. For drop-in visits: fresh water, food or treats exactly as you’ve instructed, potty break, and some play or company depending on what your dog likes. I’ll also do the small things bringing in mail, turning a light on if you ask. Either way, you’ll get a photo and a short recap after every visit, and I’ll text you right away if anything seems off. I follow your instructions on doors, locks, and keys exactly, and I don’t have anyone else with me on a booking.

“Paul is our go to! He’s excellent with our almost 16 year old dog and are very grateful to have him take such good care of her while we are gone.”

About: Animals enjoy my dog and I's company. Come unsure, leave longing to return. A visit will sure turn into a playdate and lots of misses and kisses. Your pets will feel right at home because the pets here aren't pets; their family. Whether they become extended cousins, or like brother and sister, your pet will feel like home away from home with us! Your pet has plenty of space to run around and if they're up for it will do so on their walks. Each of us have our own personality and here theirs can shine, grow, and learn to be in and create harmony with the world around them.

About: Big or small, I love them all! I have expertise caring for senior, special needs, and high anxiety dogs. Need a pet care professional that focuses on your dogs needs? I'm here for you. Throughout my life, I've always had at least one dog, and I currently share my home with a wonderful pack of seven. Because I know how important a pet’s routine and comfort are, I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, ensuring your dog gets my absolute, undivided attention in their own familiar neighborhood. I take pride in delivering the highest level of care and always put a dog's well-being first. My professional background includes working at a dog daycare as a behavioral coordinator, where I specialized in safely handling dogs with challenging or reactive behaviors. I'm also the go-to guy for most of my friends and family when they need a reliable pet sitter. Ensuring proper enrichment and care throughout the day for even the most energetic of dogs is my goal. I also partner with local rescues and sanctuaries to foster dogs, focusing heavily on senior and medically disabled pets. One of my dogs is actually paralyzed and another one was born with only 2 legs and they are some of the most fun dogs I've ever had. My specialized, hands-on skills include: Expressing paralyzed dogs Administering insulin injections Managing difficult, timid, or leash-reactive behaviors Animal CPR and First Aid (Certified since 2019) If your dog has special needs, lets chat! While my main focus is dogs, I also have extensive experience with guinea pigs, rats, mice, and lizards. I also love bugs, so if you have some wild exotics I'm happy to help with them as well! Whether your pet needs a slow and patient approach on their daily walk, specialized medical attention during a midday drop-in, or just a lot of love while you are at work, they are in safe, experienced hands with me. I have a flexible work schedule and can do drop-in visits or walks throughout the day. Most evenings I am also available past 4pm until about 10pm. I love playing around with dogs if that's what they need, but I also don't mind just hanging out with a senior dog while they relax and wonder the yard. I try to cater to the specific dog or dogs in my care. I have experience working at a dog daycare and ensuring dogs days safe, fun, and are full of enrichment are my top priorities. I take a caring approach to making sure dogs are comfortable. I do what I can to read behavioral cues and try my best to approach each dog based on their own boundaries. If you're looking for walks, or just a drop in, I'll make sure your dog has the fun they deserve.

“So far so very good! This is my first experience with a puppy and Paisley has provided valuable advice and has helped me so much. Paisley is extremely knowledgeable, caring and kind Leaving Charlotte for the day is difficult but knowing that Paisley will be dropping in puts my mind at ease. 100% recommend her!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. I currently have two golden retrievers and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I have experience watching both dogs and cats for others and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family — honestly, I like animals more than humans. I work full time, but I’m only a couple minutes from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to come home during the day when needed and can also work remotely at times, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly dogs to help keep your fur baby company if they enjoy socializing. I can easily crate your dog if needed and am comfortable caring for animals of all breeds and sizes. Pets are welcome on the furniture and bed because we believe they deserve to feel at home and loved while you’re away. My husband and I both have so much love to give, and we’re always happy to provide cuddles, attention, and companionship if your pet enjoys affection.

“Cara is fantastic! She was always on time and spent the full time interacting with our cats. She went above and beyond bringing in packages and taking out trash bins when needed. Highly recommend her services.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, from growing up with a Labrador to caring for my own pets. With five years working in a grooming salon, I’m experienced in meeting the needs of all dogs, such as playful puppies, adult dogs, and seniors alike. I’m passionate about providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s personality and health. I’m currently a part-time PetSmart employee and a college student, which means I have weekday afternoons available for pet care. Weekends aren’t always ideal, but I’m happy to discuss arrangements and see what’s possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs; whether it’s helping a puppy burn off energy, giving extra patience to a shy dog, or offering gentle care for seniors. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

“Brendon is our go-to cat whisperer! Our Mickey loves spending time with him too. Brendon takes very good care of Mickey allowing us to be away from him worry-free. We highly recommend Brendon for your cat(s) caregiving needs. =^••^=”
