House Sitting Pittsfield

“Tara was so amazing with our dog and our cat. She sent us lots of updates while house sitting, took our dog for lots of walks, and gave them both lots of attention 😊 Great job with our pets and great communication. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: Dogs and I understand each other. I've always gotten them and they've always gotten me. Maybe because I grew up with three mammoth Samoyeds and Malamutes, and shared my life with Max, my sweet Cavalier, until he passed. Beyond love and care, I'm good at training and socializing, and dogs respond to my calm, confident leadership. I once cared for a reactive dog who barked at everyone who came near her, and I was the only one who could get her to settle and listen. After a month with a young Portuguese Water Dog, her owners told me she moped after I left. But mostly I think dogs feel good around me because they sense I genuinely care about them. I believe dogs are here to teach us to love and I want every dog to experience great care. For me, good dog care starts with getting to know the dog and the people who love them. I think dogs feel safest when their sitter truly knows them. Before any stay, I like to meet you and your dog, take a short walk together, and learn the little things that make your dog feel at home. That's why every stay begins with a meet and greet. What I offer that's different: - Pick-up and drop-off for longer stays: For stays of a week or more, I'll pick up and drop off your dog anywhere within a 30 minute drive of Dalton, including Lenox, Stockbridge, and Great Barrington. One less thing to manage before your trip. My home is calm and quiet, with a large, fully fenced backyard on a peaceful street in Dalton. I work from home, so your dog has company through the day, plus walks, play, and plenty of affection. I follow your instructions to the letter so your dog's routine stays as close to home as possible, and you'll get photos and a quick update every day so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Also happy to reinforce any training your dog is working on like leash manners. How I work: Every new client starts with a meet and greet, about 30 minutes with a short walk together, so your dog and I can meet before the stay. It helps make sure we're a great match, and your dog arrives already knowing a friendly face. Boarding in my home is a great fit if your dog: Settles comfortably for stretches after the initial sniffing and cuddles to get used to a new space. Is house-trained and walks well on a leash Is not a heavy shedder or super vocal Services Boarding: 2-night minimum House sitting: 2- night minimum, 2 night maximum for first sit I'd love to hear about your dog! I work from home so your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention from morning to evening. I usually walk dogs according to the schedule they are used to. In between, they can hang with me. IFeeding times will also coincide with your instructions. I'm an early riser so you are welcome to drop your dog off (with notice) as early as 7:30 am. I have a large three bedroom home with an huge fenced back yard on a quiet street near trails. It's single floor so no stairs for older dogs to contend with.

About: I waitress, have taken care of seniors and am a certified yoga instructor. I have had cats, dogs, chicks, fish, hamsters. I currently do not own any pets. Pets to me are precious friends who are to be taken care of like children. With full attention, support and love. I work from home so I am able to provide that kind of care. I work from home (virtually) and can accommodate boarding weekdays and weekends. I keep a clean and tidy home and have a gorgeous park very close by. Pet care fits in my routine as I used to have a cat until recently. I care for pets with respect and integrity. Showing them love and care. Keeping them and the area around them clean. Accommodating to their needs by always keeping an eye for out for them.

About: I have had several wonderful experiences caring, walking and looking after dogs. I have several family members as well as family friends with furry friends that they have let me walk and look after while they are away. I love to play and sit in the yard as well as cuddle up spend time with my animals when we're not going for a walk. I don't have any dogs but I do have two lovely indoor cats at home which I make sure have their every need taken care. I do the same with any animals I am taking care of at the time because I know how important these dogs are to me and to the family that they are apart of! If treats or fun playful activities such as fetch are apart of these dog's lives then I love to partake as well! I work part time which leaves plenty of time to look after your pets! I take care of my kitties whenever I am home and leave plenty of toys for them to play with when I’m not home. I can walk and visit dogs and cats at your home or take in a cat at mine. I do have two cats of my own living with me.

About: I have always had such a love of dogs and they bring me so much joy. I’ve worked with senior dogs with extra care requirements as well as puppies that may need some extra care and attention as well. I was working part time in a restaurant but it is now closed and I work one day a week there currently try. I spend a lot of my time dog sitting around the county. I stay at your house as needed but if your dogs enjoy others, I’d be happy to have your babies at my house as I have two happy loving dogs of my own that love meeting and playing with new friends! I have a fenced in yard and many cozy beds and couches for times of rest. Your dogs will be taken care of the way you want and will be very loved! Typically my clients have routines that I stick to so your animal feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Colin was amazing and took very good care of our dogs over a weekend while we were out of town. He was very detailed in capturing all the information about our dogs during his first visit before we left. He captured thorough notes and asked lots of questions while getting to know the dogs and took the time to meet them and walk them multiple times before we left. While we were gone, he kept us updated every day, even if it was just a "they are doing great" text and a picture. Colin is very responsive and we will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs again!”

“Leona was great with our boxer, Brussel Sprout. She was very responsive and let us know of any issues so we could help her out while we were away!”

About: early years, my family were training Morgans for the Kentucky Derby. It had been an exhilarating journey, one that beautifully intertwined skill, patience, and a profound bond with these majestic horses. Each horse is unique, deserving of personalized training that not only harnesses their incredible speed and agility but also fosters a deep connection between horse and trainer. As l've grown, my focus has shifted from merely training to cherishing those heartfelt connections, as they truly enrich my life. Alongside my passion for equine training, I find immense joy in the companionship of dogs and cats, nurturing their spirits It’s all I do - besides writing. I chose to step Away from The chaos of the world to care for my own well being by taking care of animals. With respect, kindness and love as I would expect in my own home and with my own pets. Pets bring joy and peace to my life.

“Itzel was incredible!! Asked all the right questions at the meet & greet, was responsive when I texted her in between then and the actual booking, & then was extremely communicative throughout the whole stay. She was at my place & sent pictures, videos and updates throughout the week, as well as kept my apartment looking great (even washed the towels and blankets!). I know my dog Ziggy absolutely loved her and he was so well taken care of, especially on Christmas. She gave him lots of attention and love and he was so happy when I returned but I know he misses her! Signs of a great sitter :) Will recommend her to anyone and will book with her again!”

About: I’ve always taken care of pets and volunteered at local shelters. Your doggies will have the option of treats, dog walks, dog park trips, bark toys, and the option to socialize with other dogs if that is an option! What’s different with me is every dog that stays here with me and comes home with a brand new BARK BOX toy if the parent allows ! I’m currently a stay at home dad so this works perfectly with my schedule! With my wife working full time, this makes a household that much more at home! All of my dogs are trained and with the huge yard in our back yard it provides the perfect area for exercise and potty time! We also have a dog park right down the street!
