Cat Sitting in Nutting Lake

“We felt more than comfortable with Danielle watching our three pets while out of town. She was very communicative and great with the pets! She even sent photos during her time with them.”

About: I've helped to take care of 6 dogs through their entire lifespan, from puppyhood to their golden years, loving every second of the way! I have also been hired by neighbors to watch after cats and fish while they were away on longer trips. I worked briefly as a dog daycare attendant, but now work as a writer at home, and am thrilled by the opportunity to help you care for your wonderful furry family. Pet care is my main priority throughout the week and weekends, and I write in the mornings and evenings. However I can be of assistance, I will! I have my own dog, Luna, a 35 pound mixed-breed rescue, and I treat her like family, because she is family! I would be honored to discuss how you care for your pets, and what I can do to make them feel at home as I help look after them.

“Courtney was great! She was willing to pick up a last minute request over a holiday weekend. She was great at communicating and sending pictures. My cat, Goose was very happy! Highly recommend!!”

About: I'm a work-from-home dog mom with a big fenced yard, and my own high-energy Border Collie keeps me on my toes every day. I also have three cats at home who run the place, so trust me—I understand that fur babies are family! 🌟 Weight limit: 5-70 lbs. 🌟 Time: Drop off after 8AM. Pick up before 10 PM. 🌟 Daycare over 10 hours is boarding. 🌟 Medication or extensive care will be extra. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Maltese to fluffy Samoyeds, and I absolutely love the puppy stage—those wiggly greetings never get old! Whether your dog is a laid-back cuddler or a high-energy athlete, they'll fit right in here. Your dog will have a blast playing fetch or running around the yard with my Border Collie! I'm also happy to reinforce basic training if that's something you're working on—I'm currently doing agility and obedience training with my own pup. If yours just wants a friend to hang out with, that's perfect too. Since I'm home full time, your dog will have constant company, regular walks, and plenty of outdoor time in my secure yard. I'll send lots of photo updates and treat your pup exactly like I treat my own. A meet and greet is required before booking – I want to make sure we're all a good fit! Boarding (cats and dogs): Available weekdays & weekends (I work from home full time) 24/7. · Cat drop-in visits: Weekends (flexible), or Weekdays before 8am or after 5:30pm For Boarding in My Home: · Rabies, DHPP/DHLPP and Bordetella vaccines are required. · Make yourself at home: Home is pet-safe and clutter free. Yes, pets are allowed on the furniture! · Crate options: I have two crates available if your dog is crate trained or needs one. Crates get cleaned after each visit. · Quiet space: An empty room available if complete separation is ever needed · Night monitoring: I use a camera in the boarding room at night so I can check in anytime · Constant check-ins: I work from home full time, so I'm able to check on your dog throughout the day For Cat Drop-In Visits: · I wear gloves while doing all tasks to keep things clean and comfortable · If your cat or dog needs to be crated during my visit, I'm happy to do that

“Cameron was able to help us out with very short notice and made fast friends with a cat who does not easily warm up to new people. Responsive, reliable and attentive - I will definitely book with Cameron again.”

Sheri G.

About: I have grown up with dogs for my whole life and love nothing more than going for walks and hikes! I have a 6 year old dog of my own, Ellie, who loves to play with other high energy dogs. I'm new to the area, having spent my entire life so far in western Massachusetts, and am looking to bring my pet care experience and love of the outdoors to my new neighborhood! In addition to dogs, I have many years of experience caring for horses, chickens, and other farm animals, and am comfortable learning about the care of your other critters as well! I work a hybrid job and have time for quick, close by walks on my lunch breaks a few days per week. I can also accommodate some early morning or evening walks. I can choose my remote days, so I could work from your home for short overnight stays. I am renting and cannot accommodate additional pets in my home. I have a dog-friendly car and am up for exploring new local spots. I'm respectful of my clients' homes and will leave it as good or better than I found it!

“Caroline was AMAZING!! She was completely attentive to my cat’s needs and personality, and it was clear from the great vids and photos she sent that our kitty was very happy in her care. ☺️ I will definitely book with her again!”

Deb

“This is our first experience with Rover, we were unsure about it at first but Nicole was amazing! She went as scheduled and we got a sweet and detailed update every day. It's obvious how much she loves cats, our kitty walked right up to her at the meet and greet so he could tell too! We are so grateful to Nicole for giving him so much love while we were away!”

Jennifer M.

“Very happy with Andria. She did a great job taking care of my sweet cat. I also contacted her at the last moment because of an emergency trip and she was very accommodating. I will definitely call Andria next time I need a sitter. Thumbs up!!!!”

“Amy has cat sit for us several times now and is very reliable and responsive. Our cats liked her immediately when they met her. Amy has given us great peace of mind that our cats are well cared for when we are away!”

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, from playful puppies to senior dogs. You’ll receive regular photo updates, and your pet will be treated like family while you’re away I currently work as a health care worker. I enjoy taking care of everyone and want to spend my free time taking care of and playing with furry friends . My hours are short I am available to pet sit on the weekends. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home, involves a tailored approach to ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. Here's how I manage each setting: ### In My Home: 1. **Home Environment:** - **Safe and Comfortable Space:** My home is pet-proofed with designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing. I ensure there are no hazards, and pets have access to comfortable bedding and toys. - **Regular Cleaning:** I maintain a clean environment with regular cleaning routines to prevent the spread of germs and keep the space pleasant. 2. **Routine and Care:** - **Feeding Schedule:** I follow the pet's regular feeding schedule and dietary requirements, providing fresh water and high-quality food. - **Exercise and Play:** Pets get daily exercise through walks, playtime, and interactive toys. I ensure they have mental and physical stimulation. - **Training and Socialization:** If needed, I continue with any training routines and offer socialization opportunities with other friendly pets in a controlled setting. - **Health Monitoring:** I keep an eye on the pet's health, checking for any signs of discomfort or illness, and administering medications if necessary. ### In Client's Home: 1. **Familiar Environment:** - **Home Visits:** I make scheduled visits to the client's home, ensuring the pet remains in a familiar environment, which can reduce stress. - **Pet Comfort:** I follow the pet's usual routines and keep their familiar items (like toys, beds, and bowls) in place to maintain comfort. 2. **Routine and Care:** - **Customized Care:** I adhere to the pet's specific care instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication administration. - **Exercise and Play:** I take the pet for walks, engage in playtime, and provide mental stimulation through games and activities. - **Household Duties:** I handle additional tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, and ensuring the home is secure. - **Regular Updates:** I provide the pet owner with updates, photos, and videos, ensuring they are informed about their pet's well-being. ### Common Practices: - **Emergency Preparedness:** In both settings, I am prepared for emergencies, with knowledge of nearby veterinary clinics and a well-stocked first aid kit. - **Communication:** I maintain clear and open communication with pet owners, addressing any concerns and keeping them informed about their pet's activities and health. By adapting my approach to the specific needs of each pet and the preferences of their owners, I ensure that pets receive consistent, high-quality care whether they are in my home or their own.
