“What good fortune to find Amanda for dig care! She allowed time for a “get settled” session when I brought my two dogs for their first daycare. This is just the kind of home where you feel comfortable having your dogs stay. Amanda is at home full time and has two delightful kids who enjoy meeting the visiting dogs and interacting with them. In addition to a fenced yard, the dogs also get walks in the neighboring park (if it is suitable for them. 😀”



“I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She watched my 9 week old puppy and provided me with updates. Karen was also flexible. I had to change my drop-off and pick-up time during one of the days that she watched my puppy; and Karen made it work for me. I's super thankful.”


“Angie has been so accommodating for my puppy, Liv. When my typical sitter cancelled, I was able to drop the dog off within 30-minutes of me initially reaching out. This happened twice and I was so grateful for her promptness and flexibility. She sends lots of pictures of my puppy and he has a wonderful time playing outside. Angie is one of the best providers I have met on Rover!”


“Ok, this may be a repeat since my original review for Taylor has disappeared. Bottomline, Taylor’s care of Barkley was awesome! Taylor sent pictures of Barkley playing with his 2 dogs. We also know that Barkley was well cared for and enjoyed his stay with Taylor and his pack because Barkley readily and excitedly went with Taylor with wagging tail without looking back at us when we dropped him off for day 2…no hesitation or separation anxiety at all!!! We definitely recommend Taylor and would connect with him again.”

About: Dogs have and will always be a huge part of my life. We got our first family dog when I was just 3 years old and the rest is history. My husband Jack is extremely passionate about animals as well and is my partner in all of this so you get two dog sitters for the price of one! Between the two of us your pet will get so much love, cuddles & exercise! I also just want to add that our love for dogs extends to all animals so cats etc are all welcome to come hang with us :) Important Note: if you are reaching out for house sitting my husband and I only take those if we both are allowed to stay the night. We prefer to do this for safety as well as enabling the best care possible for your pet. Your pets will be my top priority & my main focus when they stay with us! I feel pretty confident that they will get more quality time, attention & lovin with me then any other pet sitter! I have a smoke free home and do not have any dogs currently living at my house so your pets will be my only focus! Also a child free home!

About: We currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've worked at the westfield animal shelter and have helped with new puppy feedings. I have had dogs most of my life and would love to watch yours. Me and my girlfriend work opposite days so someone is usually home. We work early in the day so most of the time the dogs are just sleeping. We have an extra crate if needed. We have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs of our own. There is a bathroom part of the yard that's fenced in and an area for play.

“Hannah was great, she kept me updated and sent me photos/ videos to show me how much fun my puppy had. It was nice to see Reese with his new dog friends Wolf and Connie 😊 She has a very large backyard with so much room to run and play. I will definitely be bringing Reese back again.”

“Kathy was very professional, personable and kind. I was in need of a sitter for my dog Ary and was not sure if I was going to be able to find one in such short notice (less than 24 hours) I came across Kathy’s sitting services and reached out to her to see if she was available. She responded within minutes and although it was in such short notice, she did not hesitate to help me (total lifesaver). Kathy was phenomenal in keeping me updated throughout the day with photos and messages as well as replying within minutes after messaging her. My dog entered her home without hesitation and had a great time. I have a hard time trusting others with Ary, especially when it comes to leaving her in a total strangers house. However, as soon as I saw Kathy I knew she was in good hands and safe. If you are someone like me that have trust issues when it comes to my fury baby, please rest assure that they will be well taken care of by Kathy. I would definitely be using her services again for all my sitting needs in MA. Thank you for being such a great dog sitter.”

About: What Makes My Pet Care Stand Out? What sets me apart is my extensive experience with all ages, from energetic puppies to beloved seniors. I don't just watch your pet; I understand their unique needs. This includes specialized puppy training for housebreaking and basic commands, as well as compassionate senior care, including medication administration and gentle exercise. My commitment to individualized attention and proactive communication means your pet isn't just a client, they're family. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness above all else. My remote work schedule offers maximum flexibility for your pet's needs. I structure my workday around walks, playtime, and feeding schedules, ensuring consistent care. Frequent breaks allow for ample attention and potty breaks throughout the day, providing continuous companionship and supervision. Your pet's routine becomes my priority. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and trust are paramount. In my home, I provide a secure, pet-proofed environment with supervised outdoor access. For in-client's-home care, I meticulously follow your instructions, maintain strict home security, and remain constantly vigilant. I always have emergency contacts, vet information, and a first-aid kit readily available, ensuring your pet's well-being is my top priority. Regular updates and open communication foster trust.

About: I have had dogs since I was born. I love to take care of any of my family members dogs when needed. I also attended summer camp at a local shelter. I am currently a full time college student, but can walk dogs in the afternoons. Once done with school for the summer I will be available all day. I am more than experienced with walking dogs of all sizes, and putting their safety first. I can take care of your dog in any way needed and always want to do what's most comfortable for them.

Petra P.
“Petra has been dog sitting for my two babies for a couple of years now . Petra is amazing with them. I have a 12 yo Shepard /Lab and a 3yo German Shepard. When Petra visits they are so happy and will literally knock anyone or anything over just to get to her. She is great with them. They are both pretty decent size dogs and Petra is not intimidated by their sizes. She is trustworthy and has a lot of patience’s. Both of my dogs have separation anxiety and I never have to worry about leaving them in her care. She communicates with me while I am away, sends me pictures of them to ease my mind. She goes above and beyond when she is watching them. When I come home , the dogs are happy to see me but sad when she leaves. Petra is highly recommended!”
