About: I have been working with animals my whole life. My most recent experience includes pet sitting for Life of Riley pet care, working as a vet tech at Randolph Animal Hospital and working as a vet assistant at Northampton Vet Clinic. I am able to medicate transdermally, orally and through sq injections. I am a fellow golden retriever mom and am also familiar with the puppy stages! I am more than confident in working with all age groups! I am more than happy to care for your fur babies in your own home. I offer overnight care, daily walks and drop in visits. If you book at least 1 week in advance my schedule is flexible. I am willing to work with you to make a schedule that works for you. I am currently in school for dental assisting however I will not need to be away for more than 4 hours at a time. I offer pet sitting in your homes with overnight care, walks and drop-in visits. My drop-in visits and walks are 30 minute visits, however if you need a different time frame I am willing to work it out. For overnight care I am willing to make a plan that suits your pups or kitties the best.
“Mr. Sampson absolutely loves his walks with Jacklyn. He’s slightly dog reactive, and Jacklyn handles him just fine! She fills his water bowl when it’s empty, send pictures, and often gives a quick summary of how the walk went. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have been caring for dogs through Rover, Wag, and word of mouth for about 4 years. I've cared for Dogs ranging from elderly tiny pups to young 100+ lb balls of joy. I have helped anxious pups become more comfortable with their walks, and taken care of groups of pups while their owners were on vacations. Many of the walks I have taken pets on were in cities so I am alert and ready to keep your pet safe. I am a rugby player so I'll be ready to handle a rowdy puller but also be loving and understanding when a pup is slow or anxious. I'll do whatever you would do to care for them! I'm up early and generally stay up late so I will be available for a variety of pet needs! Im a seasonal worker so I am around for lots of time. My home is clean with a big fenced backyard so your pet can safely relax or play. I have walked dogs in cities, through the woods, roadside, and on hikes so I know how to keep them safe.
“Erin is a great combination of confidence and enthusiasm. She did great walking and running with our high energy dog who came home happy, calm, and tired! Looking forward to more walks with Erin!”

About: Hi! I’m Brianna, and I’m so excited to care for your pets! 🐾 While I’m new to Rover, I have many years of animal care experience. I care for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies/ kittens to calm seniors. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two rescued pets: Grizz, my 5-year old American Bully–Cocker Spaniel mix, and Drax, my 5-year old Orange Tabby cat and they are best friends. Having rescue pets myself, I understand the extra patience and compassion some animals need to feel comfortable and secure. I’m very experienced with special-needs and senior pets. Drax was adopted with significant kidney issues, so I’m comfortable working with pets who require medical attention and close monitoring. Let’s plan a meet-and-greet to make sure I’m compatible with your pet. Once we’re all comfortable, we can proceed with the booking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every animal like my own and always go above and beyond to ensure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability and welcome inquiries regarding specific scheduling needs. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your preferred dates and times. For overnight dog-sitting services, I am available to stay at your residence, as I have two pets of my own: a cat and a dog (Drax and Griswold). This arrangement allows me to provide attentive, uninterrupted care for your pets in the comfort of their familiar environment. However, I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits upon request.
“My dog was in a great mood when I got home. The walker secured him on return even though I forgot to tell them to, which is good because otherwise he will find and eat the most poisonous thing in the house.”
About: Patience. I understand every fur baby has a personality. I will take the time to get to know them. I will communicate with fur parents to understand their care needs. I can be very flexible. We can work together to meet the needs of the parents and fur babies. Multiple visits in a day are available. Walks, feeding and limited grooming available. I am a fur parent of 4 grown dogs, spanning 3 generations. Every fur baby has a personality. Mine like to cuddle and watch movies and I can’t wait to learn about your babies personalities!
About: Hello, we are Desire and Coco. I have 10 years of experience with dogs and other animals, and Coco has 1.5 years experience chasing balls through the park. Growing up on a farm, I had many different animals that I helped care for and love. We make sure to stick to a routine, I give her lots of attention, and I will make sure that every dog feels just as comfortable, safe, and loved while visiting with us. I offer cozy, in-home care just for dogs. With a playful 1.5 year old dog of my own, I’m experienced in keeping pups happy, active, and well supervised🐾 I'm currently working part time from home, so I will be available to play and take care of your dog. My schedule is flexible, just let me know if your dog has a specific routine and I will be more than happy to follow it. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 1.5 year old dog to keep your fur baby company. Our yard is perfect for when the zoomies hit and free from chemicals and/or salt. There is also front row seating if your dog enjoys people watching.

“Responsive, kind, courteous, and was great with my pup who had a bit of extra enthusiasm because of being cooped up inside with sickly me all morning. Took Calcifer through some snowy trails in our backyard with ease and aplomb, leaving me with a pup ready for cuddles while I slurp my soup. I couldn't be more grateful for the help!!!”

About: I am a momma bear a doggie mama and a kid magnet. I love kids with two legs or four and I am choosing a life where I spend my time with kids and dogs. I have a small family farm in Granby Ma with a fenced in pasture area. I have school aged kids and during the day I am home with my best friend Cara a silver English Labrador puppy. We enjoy walks between 10-1 and love having friends stay with us in our home. Typically I spend time in my home listening to music, working on my home or to do list while interacting with my furry friends. I run errands , share car rides , let sleeping dogs lie and enjoy my day. I like to think I’m a dog stuck in a human body.
“Ziggy walked our two large, energetic Pyrenees mixes and did an amazing job! One dog is a recent rescue and Ziggy was prepared to avoid interactions with other dogs on trail, especially off leash ones which happens a lot in our neck of the woods. We highly recommend Ziggy for any dog walking or animal care needs!”

About: I have had small animals and a dog, and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, and fish. I am completely in love with all creatures big or small, and I've dedicated a lot of my time to the care of animals. I have recently worked at a dog boarding facility, so I have lots of experience with administering medication to animals, and tending to their specific needs. Me and my family are all super passionate about animals, especially dogs. I will love your baby just as much as I love my own, and make sure all their needs are met. My weekdays are not typically very busy so I can come and take your dog for a walk or play with your cats pretty much any time, given enough notice. Thank you so much for considering me to care for your best friend! I try to vary my jobs so my schedule changes often, but always ask! I am currently getting my BSN at HCC, but time management is no problem for me :) I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a big field to the side of my house that my dog runs around in. I'm sure your pets will enjoy running with him. In terms of taking care of pets in my client's homes, I treat their belongings with utmost care and tact. I would definitely dislike anyone messing with my house, so I try to treat other people's houses with the same respect I would expect them to treat mine with. "leave everything as you found it or better"
About: I've been my family and friends go to pet sitter for as long as I can remember. I'm moving to a new apartment that doesn't allow dogs, so I wanted to get my dog time in through Rover and help pet parents along the way. I work from home and have very open availability. I’d love to be you’re substitute for a couple of days or even be a scheduled visitor or walker! I really enjoy the outdoors and love to take dogs on walks/hikes but can also go the chill route. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will have to go to you though as my apartment does not allow animals. I like to receive instructions from each pet parent and follow accordingly. I ask lots of questions regarding feeding schedule, temperament, activity level, special requests or needs. I send lots of pics too! I do not let dogs that I'm sitting for interact with other dogs.

This was the second time Isabel walked our high-energy, high-anxiety dog. I appreciate that Isabel responds quickly to any messages from me and let me know how everything was going so we could relax and enjoy our time away without worry. I will definitely reach out to Isabel the next time we need pet care.
