House Sitting In Turners Falls, MA

“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.”

“Maggie is a wonderful housesitter. Our very anxious grouchy dog took an immediate liking to her. We will definitely be using Maggie to house and dog sit the next time we go away.”

“I chose Matt because I had read his reviews and he lived up to the reputation! I think dogs are a good judge of character and she warmed up to him immediately upon his first visit to meet her. I had plans to leave the country and needed to feel like my pup was in good hands and well cared for. She has some special needs and Matt made sure she received the care she required. I loved the updates, pictures and videos Matt sent, all which helped me know she was happy and healthy. She even is jumping on people less! He somehow taught her to stop this annoying behavior and I need to find out how he did this!! I definitely would recommend him!”

“C J was great, took lots of pictures and have me lots of updates even though it was only for a short time, and was willing to take my cats to the vet for medical boarding as well!”

“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”

“I felt secure leaving my cats Lola and Lily in Sue's care for two weeks. I was especially concerned about Lily, who is shy and skittish around everyone but me. She was nonchalant when I returned, a sure sign that she felt comfortable with the arrangement with Sue.”

“Makenzy was great on an overnight stay with our 14 yr. old dog Jovi. Makenzy was a compassionate and creative problem solver, figuring out a way to get Jovi to eat and camping out right next to her during a 3am thunderstorm. Makenzy was also a great communicator with us; we felt like all of us were in very good hands!”

About: I gained a majority of my pet care experience through owning family pets. Small and large breeds alike, both cats and dogs (some mice and a bunny at some point, too!). I spent a few years as a dog groomer as well, which afforded me additional experience learning behavioral cues and how to safely handle and interact with pets other than my own. I've trained the dogs I have/had but I am not certified in that regard. I have a husband at home, infant son, 12 year old daughter, and our furry friends; a golden retriever/chow mix and a little short haired kitty. Both are wonderful (aren't they all, though) and will be eager to play with your furry loved ones, although my cat keeps to herself and spends her time in a separate floor of the house when other pets are here. Your pets are my family's #1 priority when in our care. We want to make sure they have plenty of fun during their stay and get lots of love and treats! I am currently a SAHM (stay at home mama) and work remotely so I have plenty of time for furry friends! They will never be left alone without someone home to care for and play with them. We have a large backyard, though not fenced in (yet). We do have a large lead in the yard which allows for 50ft of free roaming any direction and plenty of room to run and play. We live in a very safe neighborhood that can be utilized for walks.

“I have known whytne for almost 20 years and can wholeheartedly say I would trust her with any of my animals. I would describe her to be the most caring and hardworking person that I know. Which she brings to many aspects of her life. She is always making sure that the people (and pets) around her have what they need. Always putting the well-being of others first. I couldn’t find a better example of a friend, sister, cat mom/dog mom than her. You’ll be in good hands.”

“She was wonderful, took well care my dog. She is very responsible and answers my text right away.”

“Some people are just born dog people. Daniel C. Is one. He loves dogs and they love him. He’s also a great dog service person. Dependable. Responsible. Reasonable. Everything you would want in someone who will take care of your pet. A 5 on a scale of 1-5. Sue C.”

“Fallon was amazing with my dog! They had a blast and she went above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience for my pup. She was super communicative, helpful, and reliable! 10/10 would recommend”

“Xixi was amazing and really went above and beyond for me and my pup :) highly recommend they even helped my neighbor out ! Great job :) ? ?”

“Liz is an amazing human and great pet care provider. She helped us out when we needed a place for our sweet 13-year old dog, Lobo, to stay while we were out of town. She was very responsive, sent sweet photo updates of Lobo, shared about some of their adventures / walks, and was able to support his special diet providing medicine to him when he needed it. We would highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for pet care.”

About: I have taken care of / lived with dogs and cats since childhood. I am responsive to communication from owners. I love to be outside! I work in education, so my schedule is very flexible in the summer. I am happy to meet whatever the needs are of your pet(s). I will be careful to match your norms for pet care so as to not throw off the routines of your furry friends as much as possible.

“Sophie was warm and understanding in our conversations, communicated well, and met with us and our dog before dog sitting in our house for a few days while we went away. Our dog is a large 100lbs. mixed breed rescued from a shelter and we have spent considerable resource and time in training and reconstructed his behaviors. Sophie jumped right in and was able to keep our anxious dog calm and engaged. When we returned home, our dog was calm, well behaved, and did not lose sight of his training--often when we board him at higher end facilities he returns anxious and needs retrained upon our return. Sophie was very willing to also help take care of some of my kids' fishtanks and communicated effectively via text while we were away to troubleshoot anything that came up with our dog or our house. She is highly trustworthy, excellent with dogs, and makes you feel very comfortable leaving your home and dog in skilled and responsible hands. We hope to rely on Sophie for future trips so our dog has a loving and wonderful companion while we are away. Highly recommend Sophie!!”

“Caitlin was great! Puppers definitely loved having her around! Thanks so much!”

“Thanks for making Juni feel normal while we were away. Our house is in great shape of course and if we need a sitter again we'll definitely be back.”

“I was going on a trip abroad and enlisted Hannah to care for my cat Trudy while I was away. I’m so glad I did because Hannah was amazing and so attentive to her needs! She was so wonderful with communicating beforehand and even came out to meet Trudy first. She made a positive impression immediately with her gentle and patient disposition toward my cat. They hit it off right away! Hannah made sure to answer all of my questions and ask some of her own to better understand how to best care for Trudy. It alleviated a lot of my own anxiety about leaving her for a week. Hannah was extremely trustworthy and even sent me some photos of Trudy while I was on vacation. It put me at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I will absolutely be hiring Hannah again and cannot recommend her enough!!”
