“Carlea was amazing!! She was always communicative but also low key. I felt confident the dogs were getting their needs met (and my dogs are my children.. so they’re a little extra needy). I appreciated all the pics and comments Carlea sent. She was very available to help. I just can’t say enough great things about her!”
“Amazing! Rosie is a very energetic dog and Mary was great with her and able to calm her down. She is very skilled and a good communicator. Rosie came back from her walk and fell right asleep - tiring her out is not easy to do! Will definitely be reaching out to Mary for more walks!”
“Anna is super sweet and very communicative! She helped out walking my dog very last minute which I so appreciate. Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future :)”
“Lily was great with my pup! He really loved spending time with her and was always excited when she came. She did a great job communicating! She made me feel completely comfortable with leaving my pup in her hands. Thanks Lily!!!”
“James was great with Taina! When we returned back home, Taina looked happy and well taken care of. James followed the instructions I left for Tiana’s feeding and gave her nice walks. I was always updates with various pictures and a narrative of how the visit and walk went. I will definitely use James again!”
“Katrina is absolutely wonderful! She was great with our dog and really made sure he was happy on his walks. She communicates promptly when there is an issue and we will be sure to use her again! I highly recommend her!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.
About: I have looked after dogs for family and friends most of my life! I am comfortable working with dogs of any age and health status. As a veterinary student I have experience with administering injections, oral and topical medications. No matter if your pup is a high energy working dog or a couch potato, I will make sure they get the high level of care they deserve so you can have the peace of mind you need. I am currently on break from school for the month so I am flexible to meet the needs of your pets. Whether that means multiple visits a day for walks and playtime, or spending quality time for cuddles. I am able to adjust to your pets schedule. I strive to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me first. Building trust with you and them is my priority. You know your animal the best and I will be attentive to your pets needs and boundaries to ensure their safety and mine.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life. In my home growing up I had two dogs and a cat. I cared for neighbors animals often whenever they traveled. I’m adept in training dogs and dog behavior. After moving from home I dearly missed my animals and started to volunteer at a rescue center near me five times a week. I’m currently in graduate school online, studying to be an elementary school teacher! I’m doing practical work at schools nearby part time. I’m used to be around two big dogs and one cat everyday but ever since moving out of my hometown I miss the pet life. I volunteer often at a rescue shelter near me! Often I take dogs home for an enrichment vacation from the shelter! I have no pets myself so I offer a comfortable quiet environment for your beloved fur baby! I have a lovely yard just waiting for sniffs. It’s not fenced in but is surround by woods and I plan to fence eventually. And there are so many wonderful walking paths near me.
About: I have lifelong experience with animal companions, and many years of experience caring for other people’s furry friends! I have experience with special needs animal companions, high needs breeds such as Great Pyrenees and dachshunds, and multi pet households. I am in grad school and very flexible with my time! I am free weekends and all weekdays after 3 pm, as well as most of the day Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I believe that our animal companions experience the full spectrum of emotion and sensation, and I treat our animal friends with as much respect, care and compassion as I do our human ones.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong foundation of hands-on care and deep respect for animals of all ages and personalities. I began pet sitting professionally between the ages of 11 and 16, but my experience started even earlier—I've grown up alongside four incredible dogs. I watched three loyal, high-energy black labs and one sweet, sensitive rescue chow-retriever mix go from energetic puppies to aging companions needing extra patience and care. I’ve learned how to meet dogs where they are with love, structure, and attentiveness, bringing both enthusiasm and compassion to every visit. I recently stepped down from my waitressing job to focus on my studies and spend more time doing what I genuinely love—caring for animals. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. With my flexibility, I’m able to offer consistent, attentive care. I'm currently available weekdays from 7 AM to 9 PM, with weekend availability and additional hours upon request. I prioritize creating a calm, comfortable environment that feels safe and familiar to your pet. Even in their own home, being alone with a stranger is scary. I follow all care instructions to a tee, from feeding routines and medication to favorite toys and walking routes. I make sure to treat each home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, tidy, and secure—and each pet!
About: I absolutely love spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for walks, playing outside, or simply sitting on the floor and keeping them company. I cared for my own dog for 12 years until he passed last year, which gave me hands-on experience in daily care, companionship, and senior dog needs as he got older. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to provide loving, reliable care for dogs at all stages of life. I'm currently in school and living in Amherst for the summer while taking a course. In between part-time jobs, I’m looking for a flexible position and am available on weekdays and occasional weekends. My availability may adjust slightly once I receive the schedule for a future position, but I’ll still be based in Amherst, MA. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walk times, and preferred activities. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and lots of affection and attention—whether that means playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company. I also make sure to respect the client’s home by keeping it tidy and secure. While I currently don’t care for pets in my own home, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care in the pet’s familiar environment.
About: For the last five years, I've gained a wealth of experience taking care of many different types of dogs. I've looked after the energetic Heeler, the loud Cavalier King Charles, and even the friendly Sheepdog! I generally specialize in smaller and medium sized dogs, particularly seniors and those with anxiety, though I am comfortable taking care of larger dogs as well. For all animals, I try to offer a gentle (but fun!) day that sticks as close to their regular routine as possible. I currently work full time as a grad instructor, so I primarily pet-sit on Thursdays (my day off), Friday evenings, weekends, and during school holidays. I also (occasionally) have some availability during week nights, so don't hesitate to reach out! I care for pets by first earning their trust with an extended hand, a soft voice, and no movements. Once the furry friend knows I'm not a threat, I do my best to match their energy while still following all provided instructions! Each pet and each day is unique, so I always take it one step at a time, putting the pet's safety and happiness first.
“Upon Juno & I's initial meeting with Caleb, I knew I had picked the right dog walker. Just as the breed description, Juno jumped and nipped Caleb upon the first meeting and Caleb wasn't phased. We then walked Juno together so Caleb could get to know the neighborhood. Once we were on vacation, Caleb got Juno well in hand and I received reports from my mother about how wonderful Caleb was with Juno, he got Juno well in hand and provided further training. He is a better dog overall with Caleb walking him!”
About: As both a dog walker/sitter and a pet owner myself, I understand the needs and concerns you may have while away from your furr baby. I’m dedicated to keeping you updated throughout the process with photos, videos, and regular communication. My goal is to ensure your pet has the best time possible and to give you peace of mind, so you never have to worry. With two dogs and a bearded dragon of my own, I bring hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals. I enjoy playing with dogs and taking them on local fun trail adventures. My goal is to ensure every dog has a joyful and fulfilling experience. I’m available to pet sit on weekdays, weekends, and some holidays, providing reliable care to your furry friend’s needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities! I’m available most of the time and willing to work around your schedule. Just let me know your specific needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate them, ensuring both you and your pet have a smooth and stress free experience. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your needs, currently live in an apartment and can provide 3-4 potty breaks throughout the day, along with 2 daily walks.

Grady E.
“I've had the pleasure of seeing Grady interact with his own dog, my dog, and several others over the years, and I can honestly say he has a natural connection with animals. He’s incredibly patient, kind, and fully present when he's with dogs—whether he's out walking them, playing fetch, or just sitting with them and giving them attention. Grady cared for his own dog with so much love, especially as he got older and needed more hands-on care. I've trusted him with my own dog multiple times and always felt completely confident that my pup was in great hands. Dogs seem to instantly feel comfortable around him, and it's clear that being with them genuinely brings him joy. If you're looking for someone dependable, gentle, and genuinely passionate about animals, Grady is your person.”
Sophia L.
“I could not recommend her any more, she was clear, communicative, thorough and thoughtful. Our sweet older dog was well cared for and loved while we were away.”
Zan M.
“Zan has always been very attentive and engaging with my cat! Beyond making sure she is well taken care of, he cares a lot about developing the bond between them as well.”
