House Sitting in South Hadley

“We highly recommend Lauren. We came home to a happy dog and a tidy house. She was great about communicating and sent some really cute pictures. Honestly, we were kind of glad our normal kennel was booked or we wouldn't have connected with Lauren.”

“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.”

“Nexsy was incredible. She helped on short notice and still snuck in a meet and greet. Polite, kind, and very understanding of our dogs. She went above and beyond during the time she spent with them by doing some helpful behavioral training. We felt they were in safe and capable hands. Highly recommended!”

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and been routinely called upon to take care of neighbor dogs. I have most experience with Australian shepherds and doodles. Very comfortable bringing dogs to the woods and excited to form unique relationships with new dogs! I am available when I am available. I would never take on a dog client unless I am ready to devote myself as needed to their care and attention. When caring for dogs in a client's home I bring leave-no-trace ethics, leaving things always as I found them. I am a guest on this earth.

“Ace is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! Ace is so caring, compassionate, and dedicated to the happiness of her Adopted Fur Babies.... Which funnels through to the Fur Babies Momma. Ace is in constant communication and asks questions to assist with the Fur Babies happiness. We looked forward to all the pictures that Ace sent us. We could tell from these pictures that our Fur Babies were well taken care of and happy. Ace follows the plan of care so well, of course, Clyde and Bella are there to assist. lol Ace was so respectful of our home and left it in the same neatness as upon arrival. If I could, I would give ACE 10 stars!!!!! 🐾🐾💕”

“Cynthia was WONDERFUL with my two cats while we were away. One cat is a kitten who wants to play a lot, and the other is an older cat who needs lots of medicine twice daily. In addition to providing great care and company for both of them, she's communicative with updates, questions and pictures. I will definitely be calling her again if and when I travel next!”

“We have hired Alexio to dog/house sit on a few occasions and he has done a wonderful job. Alexio watched our dog for a week while we were away, when we came back our dog was noticeably better behaved. Alexio helped make marked improvements on two behavioral issues we had been working on for months. The house was also in top notch condition and clean upon our return. we whole-heartedly recommend Alexio. He is extremely trustworthy, a great communicator, and has a clear compassion and understanding for dogs. Our dog absolutely loves Alexio, the bond is visible.”

“Gabriel did a fabulous job cat and house sitting for me. He and my cat Boris really bonded, and Boris was in fine spirits when I returned home. Gabriel also took excellent care of my home while I was away. I will definitely hire Gabriel again to cat and house sit.”

“Priya was able to stay at our place for the week we were away and give Skipper some companionship, exercise and care. Hoping she is available next time we travel and need her help!”

Kurt B.

“Sailor did a great job house sitting for my cat! They were very flexible and a good communicator. My cat loved Sailor and seemed to be in good hands.”

Jenna B.

“Matt is great. Max is always happy to see him and well cared for when I get home. He also leaves my home clean and my linens ready to be laundered.”

Kevin M.

“Saige was super polite, pleasant, and caring for all of my dogs needs. She brought my boy to the dog park, for walks, and kept him entertained. She was a perfect houseguest, and I will absolutely be booking with her again.”

Nicole B.

“Best experience! Super communicative sending pics /videos so I felt secure in my pups comfort after dedicated efforts that softened my ornery, timid chihuahua into a cuddle buddy eager for love and attention.”

Jess N.

“Rick was very personable and great with our animals! He was thorough throughout the whole pet sitting experience and we would definitely book with him again!”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my house so I’m extremely comfortable with them. I’ve also looked after people in my neighborhood’s pets (cats, dogs, birds) for a couple of years when I was younger. Before my senior dog passed away, I was in charge of taking care of her in the summer while my parents were away. Her hind legs became immobile and she needed daily attention/ care, whether it be help eating, using the bathroom, or going up/down stairs. Along with this, I’ve done a lot of drop-in visits for friends and family’s dogs and cats for years. I’m essentially always available as long as I get a few days notice! I’m very flexible with times and cancellations as well. I’d love to walk, sit, or watch your pets whenever need be. In a client’s home for, say, dog walking, I’ll definitley always make sure your pup’s paws are clean before coming in! This was something my parents always made sure of when I was younger, so I do the same now. In the past, I’ve been lucky enough to have a lot of clients with large fenced in yards for the dogs to be able to run around in. With that said, I’ll always make sure they get their energy out. For client’s without as much running space, I try to bring the dogs on longer walks. Water is key so bringing that along on longer walks is important, and making sure they drink when they get home is too. My boyfriend and I were responsible for his foster puppy, so we had to follow a structured diet and walking schedule daily for her. This experience I think helps me be structured with other dogs too.

“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.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life with experience ranging from hyper puppies to mellow older dogs. I've become the default care taker for any family members pet and love every second of it. My dog and I love going on walks and playing fetch in the backyard, she even sleeps on my bed which is the cutest thing ever. This is why I know how that special attention and physical activity is for a dog. I am capable of brushing and grooming the dog if they are well behaved. I've managed overnight care for a week while in school and making sure the pets were happy and well cared for. I'm reliable, organized and will always treat your dog as my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have my own vehicle and a flexible part time job. I'm available on weekdays and weekends while always willing to work with your schedule to do what is best for your pets. I make sure that my dog is walked or taken outside every 4 hours. Having explicit instructions on how to care for your pet is appreciated so that I can ensure that the best care is provided. I always check to make sure that gates are closed in the backyard and that whatever environment your dog is in they feel safe and happy.

“We are thrilled to have found Steph! She took brilliant care of our many animals while we were gone! Her diligent and affectionate care gave us confidence and comfort that our fur babies were in the best of hands. We will hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“Once again, Kylie did a great job caring for our cat and home! We always feel peace of mind when working with her. She's a great communicator and our cat loves her.”

“Isabel recently took care of my elderly Italian greyhound, Phoebe, who has many special needs and requires 5 medications twice a day, plus a special diet and has stomach issues due to the medication. There are no words that truly express the level of care that she showed Phoebe. She was so conscientious, communicated questions and followed through with the extra care that Phoebe required. The compassion she showed toward Phoebe was evident and a bond was formed over the week to the point when I mention Isabel, Phoebe goes to the door to look for her. Isabel is an angel, whose patience and kind nature made Phoebe comfortable throughout the week. I can’t say enough about the tremendous care she gave Phoebe!”
