About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of animals since I was 12! I have two cats and two dogs of my own and have taken care of the animals of my friends and family reliably for years. I love all animals and have even taken care of chameleons, lizards, and ducks! I’m a college student home for the summer so I have a lot of availability for your animals! I can do both housesitting and drop in visits, and would be happy to spend time with your animals on weekends or weekdays! When watching animals, I am always sure to clarify all of their needs and schedules! I have experience in giving both cats and dogs medications, and would be happy to learn the specifications of your animals!

“Daniel was amazing when I needed him to drop-in to care for a sick puppy. I reached out to him the day before. And he was flexible and willing to help right away.”

“Haydn did a great job! My dog loved her and was really happy and relaxed when we got back from our trip. She is typically an anxious dog so that’s a feat!”

About: Grew up with dogs and cats. Raised, trained, and explored with my own yellow lab for over a decade. Love bringing joy to canine/feline friends! Im currently a stay-at-home dad of preschoolers. I’m free most weekdays and weekends, depending on plans. Hours between 9am-2pm work best, although there is room for flexibility. Have a cozy house with a large back yard and am close to many great walk options, including Puffers Pond. I like to get a feel for individual animals and adjust care depending on needs. Many friends and family members have praised my calming approach when dealing with pet care/play.

“Kiersten was very prompt. Spent the agreed amount of time with our dog. Everything was done according to directions. Our dog, who can be skittish with some people, enjoyed her visit.”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 21 years. I usually get rescues. I currently have two rescue dogs, a basset hound mix and a pug. I am home during the day and am free to care for dogs including going on walks and playing outside. My yard is fully fenced. I have a fully fenced yard and two very friendly dogs. I take my dogs outside frequently and we go on walks. I have 5 acres.

About: I grew up having dogs and cats and taking care of them. Now that I don’t have any pets of my own, I’d love to care for someone else’s! I have dog sat for all kinds of dogs and always enjoyed the time spent with them. I currently work as a full time teacher, so I have time for pet care in the evenings most days of the week and even weekends. I care for pets by trying to understand what they need and giving them lots of love and attention. I am also fit enough to lift a dog if needed.

About: The neighborhood that I grew up in was filled with dog owners, so I have a lot of experience helping out my neighbors with pet care. I’ve had a variety of experiences in taking care of dogs— ranging from just taking them for a quick walk to housesitting so that a pet can have an overnight buddy! I also grew up in a very pet-filled household (dog, cats, bearded dragon, hamsters, fish), so I love to be surrounded by animals. I’m currently a university student, so, outside of my class periods, I have a pretty open schedule to care for a pet! I love to spend time outside, so I’m always eager to take a dog for a walk or play fetch! I grew up with a samoyed, so I have experience in caring for bigger, energetic dogs. My care style is pretty adaptive to the pet’s energy; I love to play with energetic pets, but I also love to take it slow and have a relaxed time with pets that are older or more timid.

“Julianna is the best pet sitter I could ask for! She took great care of my 2 cats, bunny & leopard gecko. She communicated well and stayed with my pets for a long time each visit. Julianna also to vacuumed & cleaned my apartment before I came home. I would recommend Julianna as a pet sitter!”

About: I’m an out of state student from Texas looking for extra work! I’m hardworking, reliable, and empathetic- when I commit to a job, you can count on me consistently. I’ve done lots of pet sitting/dog walking throughout western MA, and I’m experienced with following specific care routines for pets with health concerns. I have two dogs at home, so I truly understand the importance of dependable care and regular communication! I am currently a student, so I’ve found pet sitting/dog walking to work great for my routine. My on campus job is in short shifts, so I wouldn’t need to be away for extended periods of time if I am pet sitting. I find it very important that even if the owners are away and their pets are very active, they should remain active and stick to their routines. Making sure they’re comfortable is the most important thing, especially when their family isn’t home!

About: From training feisty puppies to caring for senior dogs, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages. I am study pre-veterinary science at UMASS so I’m a pro at giving meds and want to work with dogs with any special needs. Potty training or need a few household chores done? I’ve got that covered too. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! I am currently working part time and looking to spend some of my spare time with animals. I have a flexible schedule so reach out so we can coordinate the best schedule that works for you! I can do it all! I am enthusiastic about working with all animals. Walking, feeding, training, medication, please let me know what your pet needs.
