Pet Boarding in South Hadley

“Monica took care of our 12 years old golden retriever. Unfortunately our dog had a seizure during the stay and Monica did great. She called me right away and because she couldn’t reach me she called our vet right away to receive instructions. Thank you so much Monica for taking care of Nara at least for a few hours.”

“Aemelia was very kind and took great care of our pup. She was good at communicating and sharing photos of Alice and Eko playing together and hanging out. We won’t hesitate to reach out to her again in future.”

About: I have always loved and lived with pets. Growing up we had multiple cats and a dog or two at any given time. In high school, I convinced my mom to foster a litter of kittens for our local humane society and we ended up caring for litters and kittens and puppies as well as seniors and sickly dogs for years to come. Right out of college I adopted my cat, and she has been my constant companion ever since. A decade later I rescued a very reactive dog and worked for 5 years on his reactivity. We made great improvements together! If you need someone to walk your reactive dog during the day, I’m your gal! I’d also love to care for your chill, non-reactive dog when you go out of town. I have a very active toddler, so I can only board dogs who are reliably safe around small children. I am available Monday-Thursday from 9-3 for drop ins and dog walks, with some flexible availability on the weekends too. Available for boarding as well this winter I have a large fenced portion of my back yard, as well as easy access to the bike path. We have some baby gates in our house, and more in storage, if that makes sense to make your pets comfortable.

“Amy was awesome!! My dogs enjoyed her family so much. All the basics were met as indicated in daily pictures. But in addition my pups were showered with love and attention from the minute they arrived to the minute we left. Taz and Darby got along great with Amy’s dog Mayzie and now they have a new friend. I will definitely book with Amy again. The care she gave my pups put me at ease while on vacation!👍”

“First time using Rover and had a great experience with Keith & Ashley. Had last minute travel plans come up and they were very accommodating and kept me updated and in the loop all weekend. My dog is anxious and has some separation anxiety and they made him feel right at home.”

“Kelley treated my puppy like family… it was hard to bring my pup home because she had such an incredible time!! I couldn’t recommend Kelley enough and I can’t wait to have my little pup stay with her again! She sent me a ton of pictures and videos and I never had to worry at all. I’m so thankful I was able to have my puppy stay with her and her family!”

“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”

“Josie loves dogs and took great care of our Pip. The family made Pip feel good about spending the weekend with them and seemed to love her, even forgiving her for getting food off the counter. 😬 we feel fortunate to have found them.”

Mary J.

“Apparently Nova enjoyed her stay with Jess because she seemed confused when she had to go home. She looked good and her coat was brushed being a BC that's a necessity. Jess took great care of my pup and I'm sure she's looking forward to visiting again. I will definitely hire Jess again when I get another chance to get away. Thank you so much.”

“Denise is amazing. Heading into a big vacation, our dog got a respiratory infection the week before and then broke his dew claw nail the day before we were set to fly out of the country. Denise rose to the occasion in every possible way. She was able to administer the medications he needed, and monitor his healing from having his nail removed. She also got him out regularly for walks and playing and send us updates. For dogs who need one on one care, Denise is five stars PLUS!”

About: In the past I have offered pet sitting services to friends and family, as well as volunteering at local animals shelters (Dakin and JM Animal Training and Rescue) and working for Smith Equestrian. I am currently interning with a service dog trainer from JM Animal Training and Rescue who uses a positive reinforcement based model of training. I find this brings out the best results in animals, and gives humans an opportunity to learn what their dog reacts to and enjoys most. I would like to learn from you – the parents – about your furbabies behaviors, triggers and favorite activities. My goal is to provide you and your kiddos a positive experience in a safe and fun environment. I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday for dog walks and drop in visits. I am available most weekends for pet sitting as well! I am looking for regulars who can rely on me throughout the week, and am happy to fill in last minute on weekends. I prefer to walk your dogs on trails, at dog parks, or other areas that are pet friendly. As long as your pup is friendly with others (animals and humans included) we can go on all sorts of adventures! If your furbaby prefers some alone time I'm happy to accommodate that as well. I'm available in the afternoon after 11am on Weekdays so I can drop in to walk and or check in on your furbabies. I also am Available on Weekends especially for house sitting. If you have any particular ways in which your kiddos are taken care of by you the parent, I'm happy to learn what those routines are.

“Sandra was wonderful! Very flexible and accommodating, provided updates and made our pup feel right at home. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book her again!”

“Karen truly went above and beyond in caring for Louie while I was away. Her thoughtful gestures, like sending frequent pictures, not only showed her dedication but also provided me with peace of mind. It’s heartwarming to know that she treated Louie with such love and attention, making sure he felt safe and happy in my absence. Her kindness speaks volumes about her character and how much she genuinely cares for both human and furry!”

“I can't say enough good things about Elissa! I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with her because she takes better care of them than I do and that says a lot. Elissa treats the dogs extremely well with so much love and knowledge on good care. If you need someone to take care of your baby, Elissa is the one.”

Michael C.

“Alissa was terrific!! We were nervous to leave our pup but Alissa put us right at ease sending us updates with pictures throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her services:)”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am loving and have compassion. Every time I meet a new dog they can sense the good energy from me. ( I can’t update my schedule timing but it’s Monday- Friday 5-10pm) and Saturday-Sunday ( 9am-10pm) I am currently working full-time. I can come by and take care of the dogs or cats for however long after 11am as well as do drops in. I can care for pets at my clients house by maintaining a boundary in where the dogs or cats are supposed to be. As well as set up a little place where they can be at so I can watch them and play.

“We had a great experience with Karen & Jeremy! They took care of our dog, Nori, for six days, and everything went wonderfully. They were very kind, welcoming, and clearly love dogs. Nori did very well at their house and came home happy and well cared for. We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands and would absolutely use Karen & Jeremy again.”

About: I was raised in a very pet-friendly family. We had dogs, cats, hamsters and pets galore. I was the proud pet parent of an 13 year old yellow-lab named Charlie. We went for a 2.5 mile walk twice a day (morning and night). I love animals of all sizes and types. Animals are my true passion. As my headline says, "Don't Be Nervous Pet Service." I will ensure that your animal family member is properly cared for and loved. I am blessed that my full-time position is work from home… this makes me able to work from anywhere. Your pet loved one will be surrounded by love all day long. I care for your pets the same regardless of my house or yours. I will ensure that their daily routines are followed and that they get LOTS of play time. If we rough house play, I always ensure that’s done outside so that all client possessions are not at risk for tail wag hits. :)
