Cat Sitting North Amherst

“Our two cats really liked Mickala. She went above and beyond helping us with several situations such as trimming a cat's nails and cleaning up some ants which got into the auto-feeders.”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10. Most of my experience has come from helping family, friends, and neighbors with their pets when they need someone they can trust. I’ve taken care of pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I really enjoy getting to know what makes each one comfortable and happy. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, feed them, give them attention, or just keep them company, and I’m just as comfortable spending time with cats and making sure they get the care and attention they need. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re safe, comfortable, and being well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in college, so my availability depends on my class schedule. I’m available anytime on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I’m available after 1 PM on Fridays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. When caring for someone’s pet, I want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident leaving them with me. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated while you’re away so you know how your pet is doing.

“We asked Natalie to drop in on our two cats while away for a couple of weeks. Natalie quickly assessed and understood the differing needs and habits of our two indoor/outdoor cats. From her photo updates, they clearly felt comfortable and happy with her. Upon our return after two weeks, both boys were in good health and in good spirits! Thanks!”

“Catherine is fantastic; we love her, and so do our cats. She's entirely reliable, and gives warm, detailed updates (and gorgeous photos!) while we're away. She's very intuitive with our kitties -- gives shy Osgood plenty of time and space to come out for company when she's ready, and goes above and beyond to play extensively with goofy, energetic Claudius. Both adore her company; while they're glad to see us when we get back, they've clearly been well loved and in our absence.”

“Molly is reliable and responsive. She was always on time to give my cat his insulin shot twice a day. Knowing I could count on her was such a relief. My cats loved her and I will definitely use her services again in the future!”

Marie R.

“Took such good care of my cat. Provided a lot of photos and wrote how he was doing each visit. If I ever need a sitter again will def rebook with him.”

Joyce l.

“Thomas continues to be an excellent and caring pet sitter. He plays with my cats nonstop and gives them love and attention. So very grateful to have him looking after them!”

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. My journey started with pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family in middle school and grew to volunteering at local animal shelters and working in a boarding kennel to currently working as a vet assistant while at school, pursing a pre-veterinary science degree, giving me experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. At home I have a 14 year old beagle/boston terrier named Pepper who I just adore. I cannot wait to share my experience and love for animals with your pets while you are away :) As I am currently a junior pre-vet at UMass Amherst, my availability lies around my class schedule. I am available most evenings and weekends as well as most early mornings; however, my availability in the middle of the day is a little more limited. Feel free to reach out with times you were looking for, and I'd love to see if I can make it work! I understand that it can be strange for our pets when a new person comes in the house, so I encourage owners to reach out to schedule a meet and greet so I can meet your four legged friends before you are gone, making the process less stressful for everyone involved.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a kid, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I’m heading to UMass to study Animal Science and hope to join the National Guard to gain EOD bomb-sniffing dog experience. I currently own a high-energy Border Collie/Australian Kelpie mix I rescued, and I’ve also cared for an elderly Shih Tzu who needed lots of special attention and patience. I’m very work-oriented, reliable, and people have told me I’m great with customer service. Neighbors, friends, and family often count on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. As a full-time student, I’ve built a schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I also work at a doggy daycare in Avon, CT, so my work schedule usually varies throughout the week. I’m happy to communicate my availability ahead of time and work with each pet parent to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I’m generally more flexible on days I’m not working and can often accommodate evenings and weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Working at a doggy daycare has given me experience handling dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to their body language and routines and always make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise, attention, rest, food, and potty breaks. I also understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow each pet’s specific routine and their owner’s instructions.

“Grace was so good with our cat, Guppy. She was always on time and followed the instructions we gave her perfectly. Guppy loves to play until he's out of breath, and Grace sent us pictures showing with him panting from the fun time he had. We'd definitely recommend booking with Grace, and we plan to again next time we have to leave town.”

About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from 6-week-old puppies and kittens to senior pets up to 13 years old. I’m also experienced in caring for pets with medical and mobility needs, including administering prescription medications and providing extra patience and support to pets who need specialized care. I am avaible to walk dogs, pet sit, or just do drops in. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities and always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved! I am an undergraduate student at UMass Amherst and I have plenty of flexibility between classes and throughout the week to care for pets. I’m available to stop by for visits, feedings, playtime, or medication, as well as take dogs out for walks and give them the attention and exercise they need. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I’m happy to provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure to keep their space clean and leave everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience, care, and love I would want for my own!

“Sloane took very good care of our kitties while we were away. Highly recommend to others considering a caretaker for cats.”

“Carol has been a wonderful friend to my dog so far. Carol is super sweet and clearly loves dogs a lot. She is experienced enough to make proper decisions without calling but thoughtful enough to give detailed updates. I look forward to continuing to use Carols services.”

About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m an Animal Science student with professional experience caring for dogs and a lifetime of experience caring for cats. I offer care in client’s homes through drop-in visits, walks and extended drop-ins. I spent 2 years working at a dog rescue, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning kennels, exercising dogs, monitoring their health and behavior, and helping nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable. Working with rescue dogs taught me how to read body language, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, compassionate care. I’ve also been a cat owner since I was eight years old and have had four cats throughout my life. My senior cat became disabled later in life, so I have experience with medication, grooming, litter box care, and adapting routines for pets with special needs. That experience gave me a special place in my heart for senior animals and pets who need a little extra patience. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! As a full-time Animal Science student, I schedule pet care around my classes and keep my availability updated on Rover. I only accept bookings I can fully commit to, and once I accept a booking your pet becomes a priority. I offer reliable drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to spend extra time with your pets when needed to make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I provide care in my clients’ homes through drop-in visits, walks, and extended drop-ins so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I always treat my clients’ homes with respect, make safety my top priority, and provide regular photo and message updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Lauren is wonderful and cared deeply for our pup. Our dog has a medical episode and Lauren responded with care and empathy, she was wonderful!”

Michael E.

“Anna was fantastic! Really went above and beyond with our two cats (who can be a little hornery), but they quickly fell in love with her visits and the extra time she spent with them. Would book again!”

Jessica W.

“Dorjee was everything we could ask for in a sitter. She was reliable, smart, conscientious, and Olive adored her. We would most definitely hire her again. Thanks Dorjee!”

Maripat R.

“Daniel was amazing when I needed him to drop-in to care for a sick puppy. I reached out to him the day before. And he was flexible and willing to help right away.”

Dara S.

“Jessica is absolutely wonderful. When we come home from a trip our cat doesn't even act like she missed us! In fact she seems upset that we are home instead of Jessica. I highly recommend and will continue to book with Jessica in the future.”

About: I have had 2 dogs for over 10 years now just recently one past away losing that connection has made me want to be able to be there for other dog's like I am to my own. I have pet sit for family friends when they attend vacations or work events. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8 Am-4:30 Pm. My job is very flexible so If you book with me I can work my schedule at work to fit your pet's needs. I have a dog and 2 cats, So I am not sure how my dog would react to another dog living in her home. I do have a crate and a yard to walk on leash but no fence to free roam.
