House Sitting in Shutesbury

“Lauren took care of our dog for the weekend. She had good communication, left the house clean, and our dog was relaxed and happy when we returned home. We would use her again.”

“Ace did a fantastic job with our busy puppy! She kept us updated and sent many pictures of our happy dog. The house was left in great condition! We would certainly use Ace again any time and recommend her 100#. Thank you, Ace for a great job. You put our minds at ease.”

“We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.”

“Matt and Ziggy had a great time together while I was out of town for the weekend. Matt was also a great housesitter; he left my place spotless.”

“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!”

“Without a doubt, Kaila is the best in the business. Perfect care was given to our pets, and when our flight was delayed to double our sitting needs, Kaila stepped up for us then too. We will 100% be using her in the future, and will happily recommend her to anyone with animal care needs. 11/10 Dolittles, truly the best.”

“Ash was a GREAT house and pup took care of Whitney for 10 days while we were away with tons of walks, meals and treats, cuddles and rubs and overnight stays, long walks and visits with her best dog friend, and even handled a contractor visit and an appliance installation! Both our home and our pup were in great shape when we got back- would recommend Ash for six stars if i could.”

“Maggie is a wonderful housesitter. Our very anxious grouchy dog took an immediate liking to her. We will definitely be using Maggie to house and dog sit the next time we go away.”

“Violet is so sweet and my dog took an immediate liking to her. I had someone cancel last minute and Violet saved the day. She was responsive, sent fun pictures each day, and left my home immaculate. I highly recommend her!”

“Anthony is great with animals especially dogs he has owned and cared for dogs as small as a French Bull dog to large Cane Corso. He is great with all different kinds of temperaments and overall a very caring individual.”

“Bryana was great looking after my cat! She sent me updates with photos, and asked questions when it was warranted. My cat warmed right up to her, and settled in for play time and snuggles. I could tell she connected with him, and that she truly has a way with animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs someone reliable, caring and communicative to tend to their creatures!”

“I'm embarrassed that this is so late. I wrote my review but didn't paste it here!! Senior brain. Cat is the best house/ pet sitter I've ever had! All of the animals got loads of attention. They were happy to see me but my Bichon kept going back to Cat to touch bases with her! That is a first for my dog who suffers separation anxiety. Cat went above and beyond.... cleaning things up, and leaving the house better than it was when I left. I'm hooked!!!! Cat is fabulous!!!”

“When my toy Cavapoo, Dickens, and I first met Jaclyn Parker she was a receptionist at a hair salon. I was surprised and delighted to see that she also was willing to do pet sitting and dog walking. She soon left the salon and now does pet care full time. I was so happy to see that my dog was immediately attracted to Jaclyn. Her love of animals is apparent. At my age, it is hard for me to give my dog all the exercise that he needs—I walk with a cane. I hired Jaclyn to walk Dickens twice a week- and it has been an outstanding success. When Jaclyn comes, Dickens literally squeals with delight because he is so excited to see her. Since walking in the rain is not an option for Dickens, they sometimes play ball in my family room so Dickens can work off some of his excess energy. I also hired Jaclyn to dog sit for several days to live in my house with Dickens during the 2024 Christmas holiday so that I could have a visit with family. It was comforting to have someone who loves my dog as I do, stay in my house with him—someone I trust completely. I recommend Jaclyn whole heartedly She always comes when she is supposed to, texts me if she is running late and is totally reliable. She is a genuinely nice person and anyone who hires her is getting a gem.”

“Erin was a wonderful pet sitter. We felt completely comfortable with her staying in our home, and knew she was providing tons of fun, love and care for our two dogs and cat. She communicated with us throughout our trip and sent photos to reassure us. She is professional, kind, organized, and thoughtful. We couldn't have been happier with Erin.”

“We are so lucky to have had Fawn house and dog sit for us for almost a week over the holidays. Fawn is extremely respectful and communicative. We had lots of updates and photos and felt very at-ease with Fawn in our puppies’ care. Highly recommend!”

“Daniel is very accommodating and helpful. He seemed keen on building a good rapport with our dogs and cat. We’ll be asking him to look after them again.”

About: I’ve been a veterinary assistant for a year, and I’ve pet sat for many. I’m currently studying animal science at UMass Amherst as I work to become a veterinarian. I have a very open class schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so I have plenty of free time to spend walking and caring for your dogs! I like to build trust with the pets I take care of before doing anything else. I let them sniff their sniffs and investigate anything they want before petting them or trying to put them on a leash.

“Maya has watched our dog several times. She is responsible and truly loves playing and caring for dogs. She will get right down on the floor to be with your pet. Maya has pet sat overnight a few different times and we know our dog is safe, happy, and cared for. Maya is trustworthy and our home is left in the same condition as when we left. I would highly recommend Maya if you are in need of an reliable, kind, fun person to walk and/or sit your dog!”

“Sofia is a very thoughtful pet owner and caretaker. She puts a lot of care into learning as much as she can when it comes to the different animals she owns and cares for. She has a lot of experience in animal care as she works at a zoo, providing enrichment activities to the animals she works with. I know that she will love taking care of your best friend when you are away!”

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was 8 years old! I love her and love animals so much that hanging out and taking care of them is my passion! I am currently a full time student, but that doesn’t stop me from making time to hangout and take care of animals! School is very important to me but also stressful, so taking care of animals and spending time with them helps me relax and take a breath from the stress. I do live full time at school! So having your animal stay with me unfortunately would not be an option :(. However, I do have a vehicle on campus which would allow me to take care of your pet right at your home! This can also avoid stress for your animal and make he/she more comfortable in their own environment!
