About: I’ve done pet sitting for years, taking care of a senior diabetic dog and cat, as well as puppies, kittens, rats, and reptiles! I have experience giving medication, especially insulin injections, to both cats and dogs. I love all animals, and between working as a veterinary assistant and attending college to become a veterinarian, I am dedicated to your pets and taking care of them! I’m currently going to college, but I’m available either before, after, or between classes depending on the day, as well as weekends and over breaks I will treat your pets just as I treat my own, with love, patience, and care! I’ll play, walk, feed, and give love and attention to every pet.
“Avi was super loving and attentive with my cat while I was on vacation and it was so comforting to know she was taking such good care of him! She sent detailed reports and pictures every day and went out of her way to make sure he got enough attention and care. I highly recommend her services!”
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!
“Fawn is amazing and very communicative, and took great care of my cats. I felt very safe leaving them in Fawn’s care and will definitely use them again.”
“Catherine S loves animals and gave our kitties excellent care. We have already hired her for a second time. Very trustworthy and gave us excellent reports about each visit.”
“Jessica was wonderful with my cats, left daily updates and photos and the house is in nice condition upon returning! She was very communicative and it was easy to schedule a meet and greet before the week began. I would definitely hire her again :-)”
“Sunny was awesome! They were communicative, accommodating, and took excellent care of our cat. We arrived home to a happy, healthy kitty! Thank you, Sunny!”
“I have weird hours because of the work so I appreciate you later in the night Natasha communicated that she was right away with me. Will use again use again.”
“Grace was so good with our cat, Guppy. She was always on time and followed the instructions we gave her perfectly. Guppy loves to play until he's out of breath, and Grace sent us pictures showing with him panting from the fun time he had. We'd definitely recommend booking with Grace, and we plan to again next time we have to leave town.”
“I highly recommend Thomas as a rover sitter. My two cats were cared for like they were his own and I have never been so at ease when away from them. Thomas’s communication is excellent. In arranging pet sitting dates, discussing pet and household needs, coordinating timing of visits, providing rover card updates, videos, and pictures - he exceeded all expectations. Feeding, cleanliness, monitoring cat health were all done with excellence and dedication. Even with these needs met, I often feel guilty leaving them and worry about them not having enough play or attention. Thomas kept them so entertained that that fear went away for the very first time. I have a cat with special needs and Thomas was so attentive to him and thoughtful in how he played with him and cared for him. I was touched that Thomas was engaged with my cats enough to develop a solid understanding of their personalities and have fun with them. His updates regularly made me laugh. I am so grateful he was the one to take care of my cats. To anyone else considering him as their rover, I expect that if you book him you will feel the same.”
“Hope was nothing short of amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure our two cars were safe and sound while we were out of town. I could not recommend Hope and the Rover service more. We are extremely satisfied with this service!”
“Maya did a great job! She took the cutest pictures of Colette and made me feel much more at ease leaving her home. 10/10 would rebook!”
About: I’ve spent the past four years in the Army and I am now beginning to transition back into the non- Army life. Within my years of military service, I learned discipline, routine, and how to stay calm in various high stress situations. In addition, I’ve had to learn to adapt to new environments. These are all skills that I would utilize in order to provide the best service I can to you and your pets. I am currently working full time in South Hadley. With this particular job, my schedule does tend to be quite chaotic- this meaning a shift could end in the early afternoon or late evening, since I currently work in the trades and schedules do tend to be hectic. But with that I have an incredibly understanding management team that allows time to those who need it to be put on shifts that will not go late into the day. Pet sitting 100% qualifies! A schedule specific to you and your pets needs can be discussed in the event you decide to reach out to me for a pet sitting opportunity:) I will care for any pet as if it was my own. At my home, I help with feeding, cleaning, and giving pills. Your pets safety and health is my top priority.
“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: Hi! I've had pets my entire life — everything from tiny Pomeranians to energetic Boxers — so I'm comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like work to me; it’s something I genuinely love. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who enjoys long walks, playtime, and getting to know each pet’s unique, silly personality. I’m very patient, calm, and easy-going, which helps me handle a wide range of situations without getting stressed or overwhelmed. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and I love building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m available all day Wednesdays and Saturdays, and after 3 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I also have mornings free on Sundays! My schedule is somewhat flexible, so I'm happy to accommodate around these times if need be! I follow any instructions carefully and keep a calm, patient approach to help nervous or shy pups settle in. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making adjustments to keep them relaxed and happy. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities, and I create a loving, stress-free environment where your pup can relax and have fun!
“Lily was excellent. She dropped in additional times to ensure our cat was OK even outside of the times we booked her for. She kept us updated and when we arrived back our little girl was content and well. Thank you lily!”
About: Even since I was young, I was called on to look after my friends and neighbor's pets while they were away. I have lots of experience training in caring for or these furry friends. In more recent years I've incorporated animal therapy into my personal practice. I often travel for work. When I'm not traveling, I'm working remotely, with plenty of time to incorporate pet care. Perfect for in house sits! I often do in-house pet sitting for clients, taking care of the needs of my furry friends, keeping things tidy, watering plants if needed, and taking in mail.

Erin R.
“Erin has been a part of my life for many years. Erin possesses so many wonderful qualities, which includes kindness, respectfulness, and honesty. Erin has known our golden doodle Reagan since she was a puppy. Reagan is always excited to see Erin as she knows she will be greeted with lots of love and attention. Our dog is now nine and needs a little extra care, and we trust Erin completely to watch her when we are in need of a dog sitter. I would highly recommend Erin to friends and family for their pet care needs.”

He's only 2 and about 140 lbs. She handled him with care and discipline, he was well exercised and well fed. Overall a very happy dog when i took him back and a wonderful experience working with Chloe!”
