House Sitting North Hatfield

“Lauren took care of our dog for the weekend. She had good communication, left the house clean, and our dog was relaxed and happy when we returned home. We would use her again.”

Katherine O.

“Carol was great! She was very communicative. This was my first time having house/dog sittter. She was very self-sufficient and made me feel good about the process. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. That is all I asked for. Thanks Carol!”

About: I have Joyfully shared my entire life with pets for 70 years now!! I speak Fluent Feline and Canine and have been a pet parent to dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, turtles and fish as a child and provided daycare for birds. I am also a Certified Level ll Reiki Energy Practitioner. My services include Housesitting, Drop-ins and both dog and cat walking! My beloved Josie used to love going outside on a harness and leash since she and brother Shadow were feral-born barn kitties and then “indoor only” rescue pets for 15+ years! My “Platinum Spa” Services include pet massage and Reiki sessions for an additional fee for Housesitting and Drop In clients. My Passion to care for other people’s pets as a new career/business stems from the tragic loss of both my feline companions at the end of 2024. I have decided to no longer own pets myself and to get my “Pet Love Fixes” by Pampering My Client’s pets as if they were my own!! I have maximum flexibility with scheduling 24/7 for all services in the 5 Colleges Area of Western MA. I am also available to travel outside my local area to provide pet, plant and housesitting services upon request. I provide a full menu of services at client’s homes including multiple walks daily on leash, outings to local dog parks and hiking trails, specialized diets and medications, senior and disabled pet care, active playtime, basic training reinforcement, photos and text updates on how your pet is doing with each visit. My exclusive pet massage and Reiki treatments can enhance your pet’s health and happiness under my care!!

“Priya was able to stay at our place for the week we were away and give Skipper some companionship, exercise and care. Hoping she is available next time we travel and need her help!”

“Alaina house sat for our three pets, one dog and two cats, over the weekend. We all met with her beforehand, and she hit it off with our pets right away. She was pleasant to talk too, and we felt good knowing she would be taking care of our pets and home while away. We're grateful she was able to sit for us. She communicated with us as necessary, and we found everything in good order when we arrived home. We're sure our pets approved! Thank you, Alaina!”

“Brynn was an amazing sitter! They were kind and responsive. Our dog enjoyed time in nature and came back to us tired and happy from a great weekend! Brynn is definitely a responsible sitter to use.”

Andrew S.

“Abigail was a great sitter for our crew (2 dogs and 6 cats). She took thorough notes at our meet and greet, was super responsive and provided plenty of updates for us while we were away. It was clear that all the pets enjoyed her company and trusted that she was there to care for them. She left the house in great shape as well and even left us an adorable memento from her time caring for our pets. Would definitely want her to sit for us again!”

Jamison B.

“Daisy always loves her time with Nieves. We appreciate all the updates, photos, and videos and know our pup is getting the best care. We always come home to a well cared for dog and home!”

Jasmine P.

“Bree is the best! She had great communication and took really good care of our pup and house. We will definitely want to have her dog-sit for us again.”

Jeff C.

“Debbie was absolutely incredible with my 2.5 year old pit mix Brooks. He took to them almost instantly at the meet and greet, and I felt 100% comfortable with them staying at my house and looking after him. Debbie kept me updated with pictures and texts and took amazing care of him. Having somebody stay in your house and look after your pet is always a little daunting, but after chatting with Debbie and her partner for 20 minutes while they got to know Brooks I had no hesitation about having Debbie stay and care for him. Debbie and her partner are really awesome people and clearly both love — and are good with — animals. Debbie will be my go-to first choice for any dog sitting I need doing in the future, without a doubt.”

Jona S.

“Lily was extremely helpful when my previously booked sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was friendly and able to respect our home's dietary restrictions. She was a lifesaver! My senior car was cared for, and the house was in order upon our return. Lily provided occassional updates on how things were going and a few photos. She always responded quickly to messages despite a time difference. We'd be open to hiring Lily again.”

Sarah B.

“Both my pup and I had such a great experience with Amed. Such a lovely and dependable person who is clearly a dog whisper! My anxious dog was not fussed at all when we returned. I think he enjoyed his experience very much and we felt like he was well cared for during our absence! Thank you so very much!!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Walking, feeding, and bathing both dogs and cats. I consider my pets family members! All of my babies are rescues. I have trained my dog through the GoodPup app and he knows the commands sit, stay, lay down, up, paw, leave it, heal, touch, and find it. All my pets are given enrichment activities throughout the day. They’re also stimulated with play/exercise. I know dog and cat body language. I have worked with dogs that have seizure disorders and know how to administer medication to both cats and dogs. I’m work Monday to Friday with my weekends free and open. My work schedule is Monday-Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm. I can take dogs for long walks, stimulate them through play, or with enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. For cats I can clean the litter box and stimulate them through play or enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. Pet safety is my first priority. I believe knowing pet body language is so important because that’s how they communicate their needs. I will care for your love ones as if they were my own! I will follow your schedule and instructions exactly as is because, you know your pet best! I can bath, walk, feed, administer medication, and give my full attention to your babies ☺️

“Emily did a wonderful job with our special needs cat, Dakota. Dakota is paralyzed in the back after having been hit by a car years ago. He gets around ok dragging his back legs but he has to have his bladder expressed three times a day. Emily had experience doing this in the past (I think in some kind of vet assistant capacity or something like that) and successfully managed Dakota when we went out of town for a few days. Dakota stayed at Emily's house with her cats and it all worked out fine. Emily's house is so cat friendly with cat climbing things all around and Emily even mentioned that down the road she might have cat grass (that our cat loves to eat) since she grows it herself. We were also happy that Emily was fine with us leaving all Dakota's regular collection of favorite things: his little cat house, cat bed, and even the ramp we made for him to climb up on couches. It was so nice for us to think of Dakota in a friendly home rather than in a cage at the vet. We loved how Emily was great about communicating both in terms of photos showing Dakota was doing well and also asking intelligent questions to make sure the expressing of the bladder was going well. When we picked Dakota up, he was in fine shape and clearly had been well-taken-care of. We'll definitely use Emily again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in elementary school. I would pet sit for friends and neighbors, along with work at vets office for a few years in college. I currently have a black lab named York with my partner. I work an 8-4 job Monday thru Friday, so I am available for early morning, afternoon, and evening check ins. Along with overnights and weekend availability. My focus is to treat your pet like they are my own. Which means good play time and making sure they get their meals on time. I am able to do walks, handle administration of medications, dietary requirements.

“My husband and I were leaving for our 10-day honeymoon when, just a week before our trip, our dogs virus acted up and he could no longer attend daycare as we had planned. We were so relieved to find Linda! She was incredibly communicative from the start and made herself available to lock everything in quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind before we left. While we were away, Linda sent us daily updates and photos of our pup, which we looked forward to every day. It was so reassuring knowing he was able to stay in the comfort of his own home and maintain his normal routine while Linda took such great care of both him and our house. Our 2.5-year-old Golden Retriever is full of energy, and Linda did an amazing job building a relationship with him and keeping him happy, active, and comfortable while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”

About: I’ve had many dogs and cats as pets and there have been medical issues I have learned to deal with such as asthma, arthritis injections and heart murmurs. I have also worked at vet clinics for summer jobs! I am currently a full time student as UMASS Amherst. Most of my availability will be on weekends but I can also do weekday evenings. I will not be in MA during holidays since I go home to my family. I can drop-in to feed animals or I can spend some time with the animals. I am happy to go for walks or if the animals prefer to stay inside, I can bring some work to do while I am there.

“Trishul was wonderful! Took Cooper on walks and gave loads of cuddles - he even had a photo shoot - sooo cute.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I have 5 years of pet care experience, including dog sitting outside of Rover, and my priority is always making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My best friend was my dog Usui, who we lovingly called Moose. He was a 125-pound Black Lab, German Shepherd, and Bulldog mix, so I have plenty of firsthand experience caring for large dogs. Moose is also the dog in my profile picture! He sadly passed away from blood cancer in July 2026, but caring for him taught me so much about patience, responsibility, routine, and paying close attention to a dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower routine with lots of companionship, I’ll follow their normal schedule and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. I also understand that older dogs may need extra patience and a gentler pace. Communication is very important to me, and I’m happy to provide regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I especially love repeat clients because it allows me to build trust with both the dog and their family and become a familiar, dependable person in their routine. I’ll always treat your dog and your home with kindness, patience, and respect. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first. 🐾❤️ I work in Northampton Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and I only work some Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. I’m available for morning visits before work, evening care after work, and lunch-break check-ins when distance from Northampton allows. On Saturdays that I work, I’m available before work and again after 1:00 PM, and on Saturdays I’m off, I have much more flexibility throughout the day. I’m available all day on Sundays. I’m also comfortable with longer stays and overnight care. I’ve previously cared for a dog for 14 days while staying in the owner’s home, walking them in the morning, checking in during my break, and spending the evening and overnight with them after work. I’m happy to work with each pet’s usual routine so they continue getting consistent care, companionship, walks, and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by each family, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, boundaries, and normal habits so they can feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and do my best to keep everything clean, calm, and consistent with their usual routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for.
