Doggy Day Care Nichewaug

“We were pleased with Michael’s care for our beagle while we both had to be away for the day. Michael has obviously worked hard to make his place human- and dog-friendly. He was conscientious about sending pictures and updates during the day.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent many years helping friends and family take care of their pets. It’s something that brings me a lot of joy. Over the years, I’ve looked after all kinds of pets — from energetic pit bulls and bulldogs to small dogs like Shih Tzus and even cats. Sometimes I’ve stayed in people’s homes for a week or two, and other times I’ve just stopped by for walks or check-ins. I’ve also welcomed pets into my own home when friends needed someone they could trust. I have a calm, friendly personality and get along well with animals, even if we’re meeting for the first time. I’m always careful to notice when a pet might be nervous or needs some space, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible since I work a per diem job and can choose when to take shifts. This gives me plenty of time for pet sitting, walks, or overnight stays. I’m usually available on short notice, too. The only thing I plan ahead for is care for my own cat while I’m away, but that’s easy for me to arrange — so it won’t affect my availability or reliability. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles just the way they’re used to. I make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. If a pet stays in my home, I treat them like one of my own. I create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions from the owner so each pet’s needs are met. I’m gentle, patient, and understanding of different personalities — whether a pet is shy and needs space or energetic and ready to play.

About: I am a loving and dedicated animal mom of many. My experience ranges from pet keeping and dog training. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the love and care they deserve. I am extremely familiar with the body language, behavior and special needs for various animals - specifically dogs. At the end of the day my goal is provide a healthy lifestyle for not only my animals, but also those in need of my service. I look forward to helping you and your family! I work from home W-F and I am off S-S. I have a flexible job that allows me to provide care for your dog all day. My husband is able to assist with boarding M-T while I’m working away from home. I have a fenced in dog area and live on a quiet, rural, road. Your dog will spend the day in my office area/living room while I’m working, and is allowed in other parts of my home under supervision. I do provide a crate during times of my absence if tolerated.

“Mandy was fantastic! Our Doberman loved her overnight visits with Mandy. We will definitely use Mandy again in the future! She was super flexible and extremely dependable.”

About: Ive been caring for pets for many years. I had a dog walking business over a decade ago. We taken care of our own and others elderly dogs. We like taking dogs on long off leash walks in groups if possible. Dogs are always welcome to cuddle up on the furniture. Im a stay at home-mom, homeschooling. We go to play groups and trips but we can plan our day around dog walks. We take the dogs out first thing in the morning on leash as our yard isnt fenced. We are happy to come feed kitties and water plants. We love taking dogs out on walks and caring for them in our home. We love going on long walks mid day out in nature

“Thank you Forough and Amir! We were nervous at first how Russell would do and how he would get along with other dogs, so we were so relieved to hear that he fit right in! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Forough and Amir again and look forward to scheduling another visit!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.

“Dorjee took great care of my pup! Sadie was immediately comfortable with her, and I felt at ease as well. Highly recommend!”

Bentley came home exhausted from all the play time. He also loves their dog Molly. Definitley will be booking stays there again. Highly recommend for any pet parent looking for a safe and caring place to leave their babies.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always been a very empathetic person and just love to wave and say hi to dogs going by. I've had dogs of all sizes. My most recent is experience with Chihuahuas. I just love them! I've raised 2 dogs from 8 weeks old. I love all stages of a dogs life, from puppy to senior. I also have experience with senior dogs who need special care and medication. I'm currently working for myself, so I have plenty of time to spend playing, caring, loving and walking with your pets. I'm available M-F 9-6 pm. I like to make sure the pet is comfortable. I want the pet to feel at home with me. The least amount of change from the pets daily activities are important for the pet to feel safe and happy.

About: I have had indoor cats for the past 24 years. I have pet sat for dogs and cats personally. I have house sat twice for a dachshund and doberman. These were contacts from my mom’s pet sitting job years ago. I had a beta fish for about 3 years. I can walk and play with the dogs and cats, feed them, etc. I will provide what is going on and what is being done, sharing pictures and videos as much is wanted. I currently work full time Monday through Friday. I can work from anywhere. I am available evenings during the week and available on the weekend. This is a side hustle and to offer some help for anyone that need it. We have a dog and a cat. We aren’t sure how our dog and cat would be to other pets in our home. I am happy to come to yours. Whatever is needed.

“We had a last minute booking and Gabby was so accommodating. She updated us with photos and I think Honey had the best day with her. Our plans ran late and again she accommodated with no problems. Highly recommend.”

“I feel so lucky to have found Sofie and Teryn! They took such great care of my two dogs for the whole day. I was thrilled to get pictures right away and throughout the day while I was gone. I hope to use their services many times to come. Javi and Rocky were happy and very well-cared for at the beautiful home. Thank you!”

“Lucy always comes home from John's happy and tired. I appreciate that he takes her on actual walks rather than just letting her out in the yard, and she really enjoys playing with his pup as well. Thank you John!”

Victoria N.

“Lindsey was very easy to work with and quick to respond. Bailey had a great day, kept busy, made some new friends and enjoyed her walks. We appreciated the pictures that were taken of their activities during the day. Highly recommend and thank you Lindsey!”

About: Parents Jessica and Philip are the responsible adults guaranteeing that your dog will get everything they need, but 13-year-old Josie is the primary caretaker of our dog guests. She is a very attentive, loving and engaged pet pal! Since we started on Rover as a summer job for Josie in 2023, we have hosted dogs of all sizes, energy levels and needs and she loved every single one of them. She gets up early every day (whether or not she is caring for a dog) so she often gives the pups their first walk of the day before anyone else has gotten out of bed. In spring of 2023 Josie rescued an Eastern Phoebe (songbird) that was pushed out of its nest and injured; she fed it dry cat food soaked in sugar water and set it free a week later as a robust young fledgling (see pictures). On weekends and school vacations, Josie has little to do other than care for your dog! We are early risers. Our calendar has school days blocked off, but we would consider boarding a dog during the school week if its needs match Josie's availability so please inquire. Both parents work mostly or fully from home and could manage a midday walk for a quiet dog. Jessica is an elementary teacher and education administrator who is accustomed to carrying great responsibility for the safety of precious smaller beings. She closely supervises Josie as the primary caregiver. Our home is in the woods with access to Mt. Toby trails so your pup will get to enjoy the outdoors several times a day. Sometimes dogs who are anxious in the busy neighborhoods of their homes are much calmer when they come to our quiet, wooded setting. We have a flock of chickens in an enclosed outdoor area.

“Jacky took very good care of our puppy Tucker! He is 3 months old and she was so kind, patient, loving. We are so appreciative that he was able to hangout with her dogs, roam around the yard, and have a nap time buddy! Jacky was great with food, walks, communication. We are so appreciative to have found her!!”

About: I’ve cared for family and friends pets throughout my life, as well as my own pets. I’ve had to administer medications and follow specific protocols before. Your pet is my number one priority when I am pet sitting and I will keep you updated the whole time for your peace of mind! I’m currently working part time (only about 13 hours per week) as the school year has ended for the summer. I am only working about 8:30am to 12pm, 3-4 days per week, so I have tons of availability for your pet! I have a huge yard as well as a dog and cat to keep your pet company! I also can keep my pets separated if that’s better for you as well. I have a large crate if it is needed and a very pet safe home! If I am sitting in your home, I will follow all guidelines and make sure your pet receives the best care.

“Erica was so awesome! We had a reunion event in Easthampton which required someone to watch our fur baby while we were out and about. Erica was great to communicate with and was so kind to help coordinate drop off and pick up for our pup to make the logistics easier. We loved seeing the Rover card with all the pupdates and great pics. Most importantly, we knew Sugar was in good hands and we could enjoy our event stress-free. We’d definitely recommend Erica any time!”
