“Heather watched my cats and chickens while I was gone for two weeks. Was very flexible with scheduling and with the weather as there were a few snow storms but she was still able to check on the cats. Was very good with the cats in feeding, medication and doing the litter box. Would recommend and book again.”

“Ace was super gentle and patient with my anxious shy guy! He took a liking to Ace quickly— not the norm for my dog. Ace was communicative and took great pics of my boy. Thank you Ace!! Will 100% book again soon ☺️”

“Ash was wonderful! Super responsive to my last minute booking, took really good care of my very social cats, giving them extra pets and attention, and very communicative throughout. They were also super helpful and flexible when our travel plans changed due to a family medical emergency. I will absolutely be reaching out to Ash for pet care again next time.”


“Noah was very pleasant, responsive, and great with the puppies. He is a great communicator and a very nice person. I’d recommend him very highly to look after anybody’s loved pets.”

“Richard was wonderful with our very scared kitty Jake. He was patient and by the end of the visit Jake was eating treats out of his hands! Thank you, Richard, for being so great. Our vacation was worry free!”

About: I am responsive and communicative, which helps alleviate any unnecessary anxieties while I am taking care of your dog. I have experience working with dogs of all ages and of all different sizes. I work hard to address any particular needs that your dog or cat may have. While I work full-time, I have the flexibility of working from home — which means I can easily step away throughout the day to tend to your pet's needs. I'm available for check-ins and care during the early morning, midday, and evening, and if your pet thrives on consistent company, I'm happy to work out of your home so they're never left alone for long. I pride myself on following instructions carefully and will always keep you in the loop if any questions or concerns arise during our time together. Above all, your pet's comfort is my priority — before anything else, I take the time to understand their unique needs, personality, and preferences so I can provide the best care possible. Every pet is different, and I'm happy to adapt my approach accordingly. Got an energetic pup who lives for long walks and belly rubs? I'm all in. Have a shy or sensitive pet who needs a calm, quiet environment to feel safe? I'll match their energy and give them the gentle, patient care they need to feel at ease.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.
“Lizzy warmed up to Hannah right away, which was unusual but so so welcoming. Hannah definitely seems to very well-versed in making animals feel comfortable, and communicating with her was easy, kind, and hassle free, especially for someone like me, who struggles from social anxiety. Thank you Hannah! I will definitely be seeing if she is free in the future when I need a sitter.”
About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

About: I’ve had pets since childhood and know how to take care of them well, from dogs to guinea pigs I have had to care for multiple different types of animals and will always care for them as my own. I have pet sat both during the day and overnight for friends, family, and people outside of my everyday life, each time caring for the animal with the utmost care. I am currently working part time. I am very reliable and will make sure your pets get the opportunity to be active as much as possible and as much as they need. I will make sure to listen and pay close attention to what rules and behaviors follow to keep the pet safe in the home, and I will make sure not to let the animals out of my sight when letting them outside if needed.
About: Unfortunately, for me, I'm having a back issue. I'm still available for dog sitting if your dogs don't require long walks. Obviously, I'm able to walk but not for any distance. If your dogs enjoy dog parks or you have a fenced in yard, I'd love to meet you and your pups. I now live in Easthampton and I can no longer host dogs in my home which is very unfortunate. I am available, however, for drop-in visits, kitty sitting and pet sitting in your home. About this sitter: I am self-employed so I am in and out every day. I'm rarely away for more than a few hours at a time so your dog will have a lot of attention. I will follow your rules when caring for your dog. You will also receive daily updates and photos of your pup. Why I love dog sitting I've met so many wonderful dogs and their people. Dogs from a tiny pom to giant Great Danes. Many of us have become friends over the years which is an added bonus. I work very part time and seldom away for more than 3 or 4 hours. So your pets will get plenty of tender loving care. I follow your rules while staying at your home. If your pet sleeps with you, they can sleep with me. If your dogs likes a crate, that's fine too.
