“Lauren is wonderful! She was responsive and made both our cat and dog, that can be anxious, feel very comfortable. The house was exactly how we left it and the animals were as happy as can be.”
“Kristina was great!! We had a sitter cancel last minute and consider ourselves VERY lucky that Kristina was available. She did an excellent job dog & house sitting and sent us detailed updates. We will absolutely book with her again!!”
About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and been routinely called upon to take care of neighbor dogs. I have most experience with Australian shepherds and doodles. Very comfortable bringing dogs to the woods and excited to form unique relationships with new dogs! I am available when I am available. I would never take on a dog client unless I am ready to devote myself as needed to their care and attention. When caring for dogs in a client's home I bring leave-no-trace ethics, leaving things always as I found them. I am a guest on this earth.
“Jaclyn knows the many moods and temperaments of dogs. Under the extraordinary confusion of a major home renovation project, she was able to settle our rescued pup upon arrival. We appreciated her excellent questions, skill, patience and forthright approach to leading him towards full exercise, calm homecomings and lots of fun in between. Thank you, Jaclyn!”
“Catherine stayed in our home during a long weekend. She did a wonderful job with my fussy cats and was great at getting my non-food motivated dog to eat her medicine. Additionally she was great at taking care of our home as well as our indoor and outdoor plants. I look forward to having her watch our house and animals again.”
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.
“Truly wonderful dog and cat sitter: James did a phenomenal job caring for our three animals, one of whom is very anxious. It is a relief to find someone so kind-hearted and caring for our animals while we were away--it's not just a paycheck! I would hire James again in a heartbeat: an unreserved, enthusiastic five stars!!”
“Gabriel did a fabulous job cat and house sitting for me. He and my cat Boris really bonded, and Boris was in fine spirits when I returned home. Gabriel also took excellent care of my home while I was away. I will definitely hire Gabriel again to cat and house sit.”
About: Ive had my own pets my entire life from puppies and kittens to older pets. I’ve pet sat dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc., and would love to help out with your needs! I am a recent college grad that’s back in western mass for the summer with lots of time to fit in any pet sitting needs. I will care for pets when in others home with the most care and respect. Whether with a fenced in yard to play, on-leash walking, crate-training, etc i can work with whatever you’ve got.
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.
“Emma took great care of Fox and Bear! She was very on top of giving Bear his post surgery meds. She played nicely with both pups and gave them lots of snuggles. Everything in our home was meticulously cared for as well. Thanks Emma!”
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!
“Josh has totally won over my complicated pup! I was so concerned about leaving, not only did Josh put my worries to rest, it became apparent immediately that he could handle anything that came up and my dog excitedly waited for him every day as his new best friend! I will never be hesitant to leave as long as Josh is available!”

Jeremy B.
“My dogs are one of the most important parts of my life. I would only entrust them with someone who would provide the same love and care that I would; Jeremy is that person. When they hear Jeremy's name, they run to the window, waiting for him to arrive. He treats them like family. He plays with them, walks them, talks to them, lays on the ground with them and even brushes their teeth . . . . . he connects with them. I don't have to worry about them when they're with Jeremy.”

maya f.
“Maya took such great care of my elderly dog while I had to leave the state due to a family emergency, I was very nervous because I have never left my dog with anyone and she’s on a very specific medication schedule. My dog can be a little difficult when taking her medication and going outside but Maya was very patient about the whole thing. Maya exceeded my expectations and kept me updated about everything with my dog.”
Star S.
“Star is amazing with all pets and animals! She is very responsible and 100% reliable. Cats, dogs and birds immediately sense her kindness and love her. She knows what every animal needs physically and emotionally and gives them really first class care. That could mean a quiet, reassuring time or a super fun walk outside! Star is also a great communicator and looks after pets and homes better than anyone I know. Highly recommended!”
