“Tanya is incredible! She communicates well and is incredibly patient with my nervous rescue dog. I would recommend her to anyone, especially to pets that may need some extra care.”


“Kristin was great with my reactive dog and two cats! She was patient and attentive to their specific needs and personalities. And gained my dogs trust quickly during the meet and greet. She was patient with my more skittish cat and made sure she ate and gave detailed updates. Highly reccomend!”

“My old cat Max is not very sociable and is very careful about who gets to see him. So whenever Heather posted pictures of Max, I couldn't believe it! He came out for her, and I saw that he was well-cared for. I am very thankful that Max connected with Heather, and I will certainly try to book her again when we need help.”

About: I am responsive and communicative, which helps alleviate any unnecessary anxieties while I am taking care of your dog. I have experience working with dogs of all ages and of all different sizes. I work hard to address any particular needs that your dog or cat may have. While I work full-time, I have the flexibility of working from home — which means I can easily step away throughout the day to tend to your pet's needs. I'm available for check-ins and care during the early morning, midday, and evening, and if your pet thrives on consistent company, I'm happy to work out of your home so they're never left alone for long. I pride myself on following instructions carefully and will always keep you in the loop if any questions or concerns arise during our time together. Above all, your pet's comfort is my priority — before anything else, I take the time to understand their unique needs, personality, and preferences so I can provide the best care possible. Every pet is different, and I'm happy to adapt my approach accordingly. Got an energetic pup who lives for long walks and belly rubs? I'm all in. Have a shy or sensitive pet who needs a calm, quiet environment to feel safe? I'll match their energy and give them the gentle, patient care they need to feel at ease.
About: I have always loved and lived with pets. Growing up we had multiple cats and a dog or two at any given time. In high school, I convinced my mom to foster a litter of kittens for our local humane society and we ended up caring for litters and kittens and puppies as well as seniors and sickly dogs for years to come. Right out of college I adopted my cat, and she has been my constant companion ever since. A decade later I rescued a very reactive dog and worked for 5 years on his reactivity. We made great improvements together! If you need someone to walk your reactive dog during the day, I’m your gal! I’d also love to care for your chill, non-reactive dog when you go out of town. I have a very active toddler, so I can only board dogs who are reliably safe around small children. I am available Monday-Thursday from 9-3 for drop ins and dog walks, with some flexible availability on the weekends too. Available for boarding as well this winter I have a large fenced portion of my back yard, as well as easy access to the bike path. We have some baby gates in our house, and more in storage, if that makes sense to make your pets comfortable.
“So glad we found Rowyn! Communication is great, she is aware of dogs cues, body language & understands it can take time for a dog to adjust to new routines. We can tell our furbaby is happy to play with her by the fun pics we get! She is dependable and we are happy we found her to take care of our fur child !”

About: I’ve worked with animals for 10 years, starting as a dog groomer and day-care worker! I have done house and animal care for the last five years as a way to hang out with pets while I can’t have my dog with me. I am happy with all breeds and ages of animals, and love to be active and outside so if your dog loves a good walk I will be their friend! I’m currently working part time so I have lots of flexibility. I work in the evenings Thursday-Sunday 4-7.30pm. I am a full time graduate student at Smith College so I am now on break! I am happy to follow your guidelines based on what your pet and home needs are. I can’t accept animals at my apartment. Happy to communicate with you about what you are looking for!
“Sarah was very easy to work with. She took great care of our golden doodle and chickens and was flexible when we were running late, she even left us flowers. Will definitely be using her again.”


About: My name is Noah and I am a big animal lover. I'm 39 years old and live in Easthampton with my Wife. Ive been pet sitting professionally for 10 years now.I truly care about each pet I visit and give them lots of attention and affection. I also include picture text messages of your pet so you can see how happy they are while you are on vacation or at work. I've sat for all kinds of pets:Dogs,cats and even farm animals such as goats and chickens! I'm very flexible with my schedule. I'm also in good shape so I can take your dog for brisk walks and you won't have to worry about them dragging me around! I've been pet sitting for a few years now and absolutely love it! Looking forward to hearing from you!! Flexible schedule where I am able to cater to my clients needs. Takes last minute requests for pet sitting services. Contact me any time day or night Very responsible and clean house sitter with references. Experience caring in other people's home with respect and taking very well care of their pets so they have peace of mind while away.
“Bena was super reliable and checked in frequently with us. We did a meet and greet prior to her stay and I felt very comfortable having her in our home. Unfortunately our cat is much more shyer than I expected and hid the whole time :( . Bena reassured us that although she was hiding, that she was eating well and her litter box was being cleaned. Bena was flexible with our booking and was able to add a few more drop-ins for us last minute. I would 100% use her again in the future.”
“Jacklyn was great with our ten year old doodle! She responded quickly to our request and came for a meet and greet the following day. On the day of her visits she was on time, communicated effectively and provided numerous photos. We will definitely have Jacklyn care for our guy again!”


About: I've taken care of and watched animals for practically my entire life, but the first time I had ever watched animals by myself was when I was around 10. I frequently watch and let my aunt's dogs out and have a cat of my own. I hope to have many animals someday! I am currently going to school full-time, but my classes only take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I will have plenty of time to hang out with your animal! I currently have a cat, so if your animal has an aversion to cats, I recommend booking someone else! My cat does not like other cats, but he has his own area, so they will not interact if I watch your cat in my home. If I pet sit at your home, I am accommodating to anything you need, whether staying over or just popping in to let them out!
About: Not available in the Seattle area after Jan 26. I have been caring for large dogs as part of my family since I was a child. Now, I have multiple clients for whom I provide dog-sitting services. I have experience looking after a wide range of dogs, from big to small and of all ages. When I was younger, I volunteered at Family Dog Rescue in San Francisco. More recently, I spent some time at Emerald City Pet Rescue, where I cared for small dogs and cats. Currently, I am responsible for the week-long care of a senior Labrador (for the past 4 years), and I help another household with hunting dog mixed breeds. I am also capable of handling both low-energy and high-energy dogs. I am currently on winter break until late January and have high availability. I am also willing to take care of people's pets when I am back home for other breaks and near my university (Amherst, MA) I always make sure to give pets their own time to adjust to me and their environment. I always want them to feel comfortable and safe, especially in their own home. If any kinds of issues come up, I will always make sure to notify the owner.

Cassandra was great, amazing, and awesome! We had to get a sitter the very last minute. She was very attentive to both our dog and cat. She followed our request and instructions to the T. She provided detailed reports and is extremely responsive. We had our flights delayed and she was able to help us out with an extra visit. Will definitely rebook for next time - we loved her!
Preston just took care of my two elderly cats for the first time this past weekend, and he was wonderful all around. I am always a bit nervous about leaving them because of their ages, but I honestly worried less because I knew he would take good care of them. At the meet and greet, he asked good questions, took notes and photos, and clearly showed that he loved cats. While I was away, he sent multiple photos and videos at each visit as well as sending notes. He clearly loves cats and knows how to take care of them. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again.
