Pet Boarding Otis

“Mayra was wonderful! She treated my girl like she was hers. My Clover is very shy and doesn’t usually cozy up to people right away. But she did with Mayra and her family; she felt right at home. Mayra communicated the whole time with updates and pictures of how Clover was doing.”

About: Feeding, entertaining, and walking pets. Friends and family have trusted me in caring for their pets like my own when needed. I have had pets of all kinds growing up and have a passion for caring for dogs, cats and small animals such as guinea pigs. I currently work full remote and have flexibility to add in drop ins during the work day. I also have availability during weekends if you’re taking a trip, for multiple drop ins a day as needed. I currently have two cats who are my best friends. I have grown up around dogs and have dog sat for many years for friends and family. Walking and pop ins are the best part of my day.

“Emma was great for our big, goofy, energetic young dog. She sent us a lot of updates and he came home happy. We will definitely use Emma again!”

“Willow had a great time with Matt and his dog! He sent pictures and brought her home to me all tired out. Exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be using him again!”

“Saktah did a great job taking care of my elderly and rather unfriendly kitty, Koshka, for two weeks while I was vacationing. She was very professional, organized, and caring, kept me updated on how my kitty was adjusting, and showed genuine affection and concern for her. She's driven to get things right and wants your pet to be as comfortable as they can be while you're gone. So if you (like me) have a pet that needs extra love and care, and you'd like to relax during your vacation knowing they're in good hands, go with Saktah. She's got you covered.”

“She was great.. very caring and responsible. I will use her again. Thank you Yasmin.”

“We were visiting Northampton for a wedding and unfortunately couldn’t have Oliver stay with us for the weekend. We were so happy to find Elissa so close to downtown to care for him though! She and her family took great care of Oliver, even taking him hiking and swimming. He was a very happy dog when we picked him up after the weekend!”

“I've never been away from Nova who is a one year old BC and I needed to find someone that could handle her energy while I was away for a short vacay. I found Jannylza and decided to give her a shot considering the experience she had I knew I could leave Nova and not worry. Jannylza did a great job and kept me informed on Nova's progress which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely use her services again without any hesitation. Thank you Jannylza.”

“Ashika took wonderful care of our dog Wilson! She was extremely responsive and gave us updates throughout Wilson’s stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog in the future.”

“This was Milo’s first time spending a night at Eric’s house. He had a wonderful time! Eric, his wife and mother-in-law were all so great to Milo. He will be very excited the next time he goes back!”

“Nell was friendly, flexible about drop off/pick up, and so kind to our pup for her first stay away from us. Nell made our girl feel right at home and kept her happy in our absence.”

Debbie K.

“Thank you for watching Teddy.”

About: I have had medium/large dogs for most of my life. I have taken care of a 35lb Australian Cattle dog as well as 2 pit bulls between 55-70lbs. I've also dog-sat a dog under 10lbs and walked dogs who were 140lbs. I've also worked in home with families who had cats ranging in size and demeanor. I work full time which is why I can only do sitting on weekends. I am looking to do more hobbies and this seems like something fun for me to add. I care for my dog Zelda who's partially blind so I have an awareness for disabled pups. That is also the reason I cannot board dogs in my home. I would likely spend a large portion of my day with the dog I'm taking care of, giving them some kind of walk during the day and making sure to lock up each time I leave the home. I would make sure they are fed on time and receive the same kind of loving care I give my dogs at home.

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.

About: I have pet/house sat multiple times over the past several years for friends and family, and have worked with several types of animals from small critters like guinea pigs and ferrets, cats, and even large dog breeds. I also have 2 years experience volunteering for a local shelter in socialization and vet transport, 3 years experience working for a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and I currently work part time for another local animal shelter. I am an experienced owner of dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, guinea pigs, and more. I also have experience as a wedding dog handler, and would be happy to offer this service if requested so your furry companion can accompany you or someone you know on yours or their special day without any added stress, please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in! I currently work part time so I have lots of time to play with your pup, and hopefully can build savings towards a larger space to meet more people's needs! I am always looking to learn, grow, and provide better care for animals. Animal welfare is very important to me. At this point in time, due to the space I'm only able to accommodate smaller breeds that generally can get along with others. I do have a small fenced in yard, but I also have the bike trail and nearby hiking trails readily available, your dog will need to be on leash at all times when outside on walks/hikes, I do not provide "off-leash" trail experience as a safety precaution, thank you for your understanding! I am happy to provide pictures and updates of your pup whenever requested, please never be afraid to reach out!

“Anagha sent frequent updates about our puppy and made sure to welcome her into her family’s Christmas festivities. We are grateful for her help and will definitely come back when we are in the area!”

“Rick and Laura are the best, and our dog could feel it the moment she met them! Sophie enjoyed playing in the fenced-in yard, going for walks and even a hike. She is timid about some things, like seeing other dogs, but Rick and Laura took the time to help her through it, so she could continue her walks. Great communication, frequent updates, and the level of care is phenomenal. Their love and compassion for animals really shows. We're planning to have Sophie go for some day stays, since she had such a great time!”

About: I sincerely LOVE getting to know each individual dog's personality (quirks and all!) and learning about what makes them happiest. I have many years of experience: walking dogs in NYC & in Western Mass; pet-sitting for my friends', neighbors' and partner's dogs (as well as for other types of pets). I create a warm, nurturing and happy environment for my precious furry friends to thrive. (Please note: on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, I am usually available from 11 AM-5:30 PM; on Mondays & Wednesdays, I am usually available from 11 AM -12 PM) I'm currently working part-time as a educator (tutor) so I have ample time to provide dog care (walking, drop-in day care and occasional boarding) during the week, Mon-Wed and Thurs-Friday. On occasion, I may be able to board dogs during the weekend. I live in an extremely peaceful, quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood (the Plains of Easthampton) toward the end of a cul-de-sac. So there is almost no cars or traffic here. I do have a front & back yard. Although it is not fenced, it is backed by trees and, as mentioned, almost zero traffic
