House Sitting Northampton

“Ash was fantastic. Took great care of my puppy and provided consistent updates. This will absolutely be a reoccurring situation. Highly recommend.”

“Alexio did another fine job of house sitting with our Maggie. She is quite active and he always works with her to keep her calm. I highly recommend his services.”

Stephen G.

“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.”

“Bena was a terrific cat sitter. She was great about communication, timely, and clearly played with and paid attention to my furry friend. I came back to a happy cat.”

Anita M.

“Holy moly, Nieves is awesome! From the meet and greet, through our trip, to our return, she provided first class service. She communicates so well, lots of fun updates and pics and cute collages of my pet, and post it notes about her last day before she left. She followed our care document to a T and took the best care of Daisy. I highly recommend and will be booking her again!”

About: I'm a lover of play, exploration, rest, and relationship building -- with human and non-human creatures alike! I have 15+ years of experience tending to dogs of all sizes and temperaments, enjoy long walks as much as they do, and particularly enjoy sending photo updates to the families I sit for. I've been told I "play with dogs like they're [my] siblings" and that I'm both "a black cat and a golden retriever in spirit" -- all this to say, I get animals, and they get me. :) I'm currently working in a university counseling center, supporting students of all ages through the transitions of their lives. This is a typical 9-5 job (with one remote day/week coming Spring 2027) -- so I'd pair well with animals that can do okay on their own during work hours. I like to learn an animal's routines and do my best to replicate them during a sit, so as not to cause any anxious critter more stress. I have a good track record for reading an animal's body language and know when to give cuddles, when to give space, and when to know something's "off" that needs more serious attention.

“Priya watched my very sick yet hyper puppy and my active 3 year old Aussie while I worked long shifts one weekend She made me feel so confident that my dogs were in good hands. They can be rather crazy and that didn't scare her off at all! Such a blessing!”

“Thomas did a wonderful job looking after my hound Raynor. I came home to a relaxed dog and a clean house. I would definitely recommend Thomas, and will book with him again.”

Krista N.

“Lauren watched our animals ( 2 cats, 1 old dog and 200 guppies) while we went away for February break. The animals and the house were well cared for and the house was clean and warm (we heat with wood) when we returned. We will definitely use Lauren again.”

About: I am a lifelong lover of animals, and have always felt truly connected to non-humans. I've been caring for pets for most of my adult life, and my first memory of caring for animals was on my aunt's farm in Louisiana as a 5 year old. I have experience caring for most all types of household pets, and experience with a wide breadth of dog and cat breeds. I have cared for pets with illnesses, specific dietary restrictions, and all sorts of quirks and routines. I have experience bathing pets, administering medication, and helping animals on the shy side warm up to me and feel safe. With animals, no ask is too large, as all pets are different and have their own special needs. I take pride in ensuring I approach all animals in my care with attentiveness, empathy, and love. I work part-time, so I have very open availability to pet sit, house sit, walk dogs, care for cats, etc.! I am available for overnights, mornings, nights- whatever your need is, I can likely accommodate! Whether I am at my house or am house sitting for a client, I ensure pets are comfortable, stick to routines, and do what I can to calm any separation anxiety.

“Brianna is a star! After moving Zora from the only home she had ever known less than a year ago, I was very unhappy about leaving her for a whole month, but I needed have worried. Zora and Brianna quickly formed an enduring bond and did SO well together. It was infinitely reassuring to receive regular texts, photos and videos of their days together. Brianna also took amazing care of my home and my plants. When I got home, everything was immaculate. Zora had obviously been content, well cared for and exercised during my absence. Definite five stars!! Thanks, Brianna!”

“Kayte was such a responsible and reliable sitter. She was very knowledgeable and skilled in being able to discipline and bond with Cooper. I felt so comfortable while I was traveling in Europe - so far away. I was truly able to relax and know that Cooper was being well cared for and loved. Thank you Kayte, Rene Carew”

Irene C.

“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”

John M.

“Natalie is a great sitter! Very reliable, kind and loving with our dog and attentive to all her needs.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner since I was 5 years old! Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals and friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. My experience has a wide range. I grew up training my puppy and nurturing my kittens until they were cats, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve also cared for my pregnant cat and her four kittens, giving me experience with both everyday pet care and more hands-on responsibilities. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the same patience, attention, and care I’ve always given my own animals! I’m a full-time college student, but I am extremely flexible! With short days of classes my afternoons and evenings are wide open! I’m open to overnight and early morning care as well! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, medication, walking, playtime, and bathroom instructions carefully and make sure they always have fresh water and a clean environment. I love giving pets plenty of attention and companionship, while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic and more independent pets, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I also believe communication is important! I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and leave your home just as I found it.

“We used Lily to sit our elder dogs Bentley and Chester. She did a wonderful job she sent updates (with pics) every morning and night. We came home to happy dogs. She left our house clean just like we left it. I highly recommend Lily if you need a pet sitter. Mike and Deb Fusia”

“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.

“Thank you, Erica, for asking important questions, approaching our rescued pup with appropriate gentle moves, finding his comfort level, taking the initiative, communicating clearly with thousand-word photos, and leaving our home cleaner than we left it. You gave us peace of mind--priceless--and we are grateful to you.”

About: I have 30 years experience with puppies through seniors - healthy through special needs. Training for puppies on leash walks through walking seniors in a stroller. My dogs have ranged from disabled chihuahuas, big German shepherds, and lively beagle mixes. I excel at bonding and building trust with pets and look to have a unique connection with each one. For doggy daycare and boarding: Right now, I dont own any dogs. Your dogs would be the only dogs in my home. When there are dogs in my home, my cats are safely locked away in the basement with their food, toys, water, and playhouses. There will be no interaction. I am currently working part time (remotely) and fully available to care for your pets, play with them, give them all the attention, care, and love they deserve! Morning, afternoon, evening, late night care is well within my timeframe. Caring for your dog: I will only walk on leash - no unleashed care unless within a fully fenced backyard. If you are training your dog, I will be able to continue with training. I am able to administer medication if needed. If your dog has any allergies or requires special food, please be sure to let me know. Happy to perform brushing or baths if needed. Pets, hugs, playtime, or lounging and relaxing - whatever their preference and makes them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. As for caring for your cats, I request a full schedule of their feeding times, and recommendations as to what they enjoy playing with. If they like to be brushed, please note. If they are skittish or love attention from people, please let me know so I can provide them with a level of care that will allow them to feel safe.
