“Brit was awesome! This was our first time using Rover/Brit, and she was wonderful with our dog, River. Very responsive, everyday we got reports and photos on how things were going, and Brit took River over to play with our son’s dog who she was also watching during this time. We so appreciate her help!”

“One of my dogs can he anxious around people but I'm the second day of dog sitting Iris sent me a picture of him being playful and happy. Clearly she made him at ease. I booked this somewhat last minute and I appreciate it is coming over to meet them and learn about our needs. Will add Iris to our list of trusted humans.”

“Court was amazing! She sat & entertained our two giant cats for three days and even our more shy and jaded cat immediately came over to her on her first meet and greet — which has never happened before.”

About: My husband Lee and I have years of experience providing drop-in visits and overnight pet care in clients’ homes, and we have plenty of repeat customers who trust us with their beloved pets. We’ve traveled all over the country and internationally sitting for animals. Lee is semi-retired and will be the primary caregiver, while one of us will provide overnight care. I’m extremely responsive and communicate in whatever way works best for you—with pictures, updates, and regular check-ins so you’re always in the loop. We care for your pets the way you would, and we’re especially skilled with anxious pets, meeting them exactly where they’re at. Your pets will receive all the love and attention they deserve in your absence. Some of our photos feature furry friends we’ve cared I currently need to be online from 8:30 am to 5 pm, so wifi is required. I can do walks during the day with plenty of potty breaks. I care for your pet the way that you would. I respect your space and your rules about furniture, food, crating, and space. I'm totally flexible around your pets needs.
“Deborah was Fabulous! ?& I just recently moved to Bennington. Additionally we had housed my parents cat for 10 days after the move (who we had been cohabitating w for 3years) - And!! our new place was being scraped/painted ( Noisy!) Poor Guy was Traumatized & scared - which translated to Me!! being scared & very nervous about being away for 6 days. Deborah sent me very detailed updates/photos after each daily visit. By day three my lil guy had come out of his shell & greeting her w Affection & meows. ?I am eternally grateful and *Bonus* future travel requirements won't cause me nearly the anxiety. Hooray Deborah!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dog of many sizes and health conditions, I have had a cat for 9ish years and have cared for friend and families dogs for years. I am a student, I am relatively free but lots of work to do! I like to go on walks already! I am able to be flexible. I know how to feed animals and care for them, can follow special instructions as I know they are important. As much as I would love to care for your fur baby at my home, I cannot.
About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!
“I used Nicole to watch my cat, Chloe, who had just lost her litter mate of 8 years and this was going to be my first trip leaving her alone without her brother. Nicole did so well Chloe even though Chloe is super shy and skittish, she got her to come out !! I would definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting job!! She’s a super sweet human being ❤️!!”

About: I’ve taken care for more than a handful of animals before! I have worked for two farms in my life so far. I have also always grown up with having dogs, cats, and even hamsters and Guinea pigs! I am a mom of 2 little ones but just recently moved so I am in between jobs and can work with you on times! I am available most days and a good portion of the day, as the kids go to daycare! I am a very good listener and fast learner. I love following a guideline and care so much about your animals! I can’t wait to meet your pets!
About: I bring a unique level of structure, energy, and reliability to pet care through my experience as a college coach. My daily work revolves around building routines, paying attention to small details, and making sure individuals are supported and performing at their best — and I carry that same approach into caring for dogs. I am highly dependable and organized, so you can trust that your dog’s schedule, feeding routine, and exercise needs will be handled consistently. I also bring an active lifestyle, which is great for dogs that need engaging walks, playtime, and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care and awareness I provide. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident while you are away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times My schedule is currently wide open following the end of the swim season, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels secure and cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their needs, keep a watchful eye during walks, and always make sure you are updated so you can relax knowing they are in good hands.
“Paige took great care of our cats! She was very communicative and took pictures of our cats during the visits. She also left great updates during her visits and made me feel like she was keeping good tabs over the days. I look forward to having Paige watch our cats in the future!”


About: I've loved animals forever and have cared for everything from a cockatiel to a chameleon, Great Pyrenees to Pekapoo. I currently have 1 Goldendoodle and 1 chocolate tabby cat in my home with fenced area and walking trails. I'm currently homeschooling my children at our 10+ acre home with fenced area and walking trails. We have a light schedule and are home more often than away. We currently walk our Goldendoodle daily and pet care is our love, in addition to our responsibility. I have a fenced area and multiple indoor secure areas where animals can get healthy time in a safe home without overstimulation. I have 1 Goldendoodle and 1 chocolate tabby cat who are the best of friends and are supportive to newcomers.
About: Hi! My name is Maura and I live in Adams. I’ve lived and taught in the Berkshires for nineteen years, and I am looking to supplement my horse habit with another love of mine: pets! I have been pet sitting since childhood and have offered services in the Berkshires over the last few years for folks headed to music festivals or for a day on the slopes. I offer a variety of services including: dog walking, letting dogs out/play/cuddle time, cat and dog sitting in your home, house sitting, and small farm sitting. I also offer red light therapy sessions for pets small and large! I am currently in the process of developing a petBnB—a private pet boarding option at my home in a private pet guest house that opens to a fully fenced back yard. I will be able to accommodate up to three pets per single family at once (only one pet family at a time to keep everyone safe and happy!). If this interests you, please let me know! I have experience with all types of animals including, but not limited to: dogs, cats, hamsters/gerbils/rats, rabbits, ferrets, large aquariums, horses, cows, goats, and pigs. I’ve worked with small, medium, and large dogs of a variety of breeds, dispositions, and energy levels. The same applies to horses! I’m comfortable administering oral medication and caring for senior animals and baby animals. I can also administer medication to livestock with specific instructions. Additionally, I have experience sitting/running an equine boarding barn with 19 horses on the property. I also have experience with basic trick training and potty training for dogs. With horses, I am very comfortable working from the ground if you’d like to keep them in light work while you’re away! I understand how stressful it can be to board and/or travel with pets and my goal is to alleviate some of that. Here on vacation and need someone to let your dog out while you explore? Done. Headed out of the Berkshires for vacation and want to FaceTime your pup because you’re away? Give us a call! Headed out to the slopes for the day but have a new puppy who’s not potty trained yet? Let me help you out. I come armed with treats (if that’s ok!), a genuine, lifelong love for animals, and a personal understanding of the stress that worrying about your pet when you’re away can cause. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions about availability or services! As I am currently on summer vacation, chances are, I’m available! Thanks and I hope to hear from you! I’m always running errands for my pets, spending time with my pets, or I’m at the barn with my horse. Taking care of the needs of my own pets is one of my top priorities, and I can easily work your furry friend into my schedule! It’s important that we discuss your specific expectations and needs as a pet owner/parent to ensure that you get the best care! Every pet owner and pet is different and I want to tailor my approach to what your pet is used to and comfortable with.
“Renee was so sweet with my pup and took so many photos for me while I was held up at work! She took great care of her and even went as far as to wash her food bowl afterwards. I will definitely be hiring her again!”

“Trista was wonderful! She sent great pictures of all the pets. They all look so happy and well cared for. Great communication and followed all instructions. You can tell she really cares for your pets. We would highly recommend! 😊”


About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. My parents also run a dog sitting business on cape cod and I help out there when I can! I am also fully insured! I’m a current second grade teacher, so I’m completely free on the weekends and the summer months, as well as school vacations to take care of your furry friends! I will love your dog like my own! I’m a diligent, reliable and clean person that will leave your home and dog happier than I found it. I am also fully insured!
“I can’t recommend Bella enough! From the moment I met her, I knew my pups were in great hands. She took the time to get to know my dogs and their routines, which made me feel so at ease. Throughout my time away, Bella sent me daily updates and adorable photos of my pups playing and enjoying their time. Each picture captured their happiness—tails wagging and big smiles! It was such a relief to see them so content and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond, providing not just care but also love and attention. I will definitely be booking Bella again for future trips. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring, look no further!”


About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.
