“Lauren is wonderful! She was responsive and made both our cat and dog, that can be anxious, feel very comfortable. The house was exactly how we left it and the animals were as happy as can be.”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Pet from Nexsy! We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Nexsy! From the moment we met her, it was clear she has a true gift with animals. Our three dogs and two cats took to her immediately — and that alone speaks volumes! Nexsy didn’t just “watch” our pets; she genuinely cared for them as if they were her own. Updates came regularly with thoughtful messages, adorable photos, and sweet little anecdotes that brought so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our furry family members were not just safe, but happy and thriving in her care. She played with the dogs, gave them tons of attention, and kept the cats content and calm, sticking to their routines and making sure everyone felt loved. On top of all that, Nexsy also took amazing care of our plants. It’s such a relief to come home to happy pets and thriving greenery. It’s rare to find someone so professional, trustworthy, and warm-hearted. Nexsy is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter — dependable, kind, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. We came home to relaxed, happy pets, flourishing plants, and a home that was just as we left it. We wholeheartedly recommend Nexsy to anyone looking for truly exceptional care. Cindy M”


“Jaclyn knows the many moods and temperaments of dogs. Under the extraordinary confusion of a major home renovation project, she was able to settle our rescued pup upon arrival. We appreciated her excellent questions, skill, patience and forthright approach to leading him towards full exercise, calm homecomings and lots of fun in between. Thank you, Jaclyn!”


“Emma was amazing! Sent daily updates and photos. Took my girl on walks and car rides which i know my girl loved! Super kind and reassuring that my dog was in the best care(this was my first time leaving her with a stranger) but I will always look to book Emma again!”



“Catherine stayed in our home during a long weekend. She did a wonderful job with my fussy cats and was great at getting my non-food motivated dog to eat her medicine. Additionally she was great at taking care of our home as well as our indoor and outdoor plants. I look forward to having her watch our house and animals again.”


About: I have been a rescue pet parent, most of my life. My human students are always shocked when they learn I've only parented the four legged kind! I'm fully retired, although I love sub teaching, when I can. Most of my days are filled with caring for my own dogs, as well as several weeks, at a time, caring for my Goddog, while her mom travels. I do home visits for friends, as well. In my home, I have a separate area for my furry visitors and sleep with them, so they are never alone. I prep special meals and meds, per Mom's instructions and I am the ONLY person trusted to take care of my Goddog.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.

“Truly wonderful dog and cat sitter: James did a phenomenal job caring for our three animals, one of whom is very anxious. It is a relief to find someone so kind-hearted and caring for our animals while we were away--it's not just a paycheck! I would hire James again in a heartbeat: an unreserved, enthusiastic five stars!!”


“Gabriel did a fabulous job cat and house sitting for me. He and my cat Boris really bonded, and Boris was in fine spirits when I returned home. Gabriel also took excellent care of my home while I was away. I will definitely hire Gabriel again to cat and house sit.”


About: Ive had my own pets my entire life from puppies and kittens to older pets. I’ve pet sat dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc., and would love to help out with your needs! I am a recent college grad that’s back in western mass for the summer with lots of time to fit in any pet sitting needs. I will care for pets when in others home with the most care and respect. Whether with a fenced in yard to play, on-leash walking, crate-training, etc i can work with whatever you’ve got.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong foundation of hands-on care and deep respect for animals of all ages and personalities. I began pet sitting professionally between the ages of 11 and 16, but my experience started even earlier—I've grown up alongside four incredible dogs. I watched three loyal, high-energy black labs and one sweet, sensitive rescue chow-retriever mix go from energetic puppies to aging companions needing extra patience and care. I’ve learned how to meet dogs where they are with love, structure, and attentiveness, bringing both enthusiasm and compassion to every visit. I recently stepped down from my waitressing job to focus on my studies and spend more time doing what I genuinely love—caring for animals. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. With my flexibility, I’m able to offer consistent, attentive care. I'm currently available weekdays from 7 AM to 9 PM, with weekend availability and additional hours upon request. I prioritize creating a calm, comfortable environment that feels safe and familiar to your pet. Even in their own home, being alone with a stranger is scary. I follow all care instructions to a tee, from feeding routines and medication to favorite toys and walking routes. I make sure to treat each home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, tidy, and secure—and each pet!

“Josh has totally won over my complicated pup! I was so concerned about leaving, not only did Josh put my worries to rest, it became apparent immediately that he could handle anything that came up and my dog excitedly waited for him every day as his new best friend! I will never be hesitant to leave as long as Josh is available!”


“Megan was fantastic for our high needs puppy and cat. Incredibly communicative and accommodating. We had to last minute ask her to care for our puppy who had a cold as well as our senior cat. She was extremely helpful and communicated any and all issues with us. She left our house clean and our pets happy and cared for, despite our puppy going through growing pains.”
