My family and I have had dogs (cats, reptiles, rodents, you name it) my whole life - My husband and I have a yellow lab named Rocco, a golden retriever named Beau, and a boxer mix named Duke. In June 2021 we added a little island dog named DJ to complete our pack. (they'll all happily stay at home with dad while I sit for you) My pets are very important to me and I know they'll be happiest staying at home if we are away. This is why I prefer to sit at your home where your dogs often feel most comfortable. I want you to feel perfectly at ease leaving your dog and home in my hands. I know my friends have appreciated me not only caring for their dog but collecting mail, watering flowers, and doing some light cleaning so they can just come home from their trip and fall right back into their routine. I have a very calm and gentle nature and can handle any pup out there with patience and consistency. I will respect your home, your rules and your dogs routine so they don't get confused or stressed. What is most important to me is that you and your fur baby are both happy and worry free while you are apart. I live in South Hadley and work remotely so anywhere within 40 minutes of South Hadley works best.
