John sent regular updates which helped give me peace of mind and communication via text was greatly appreciated! We will be returning! I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for treating Rocky like he was apart of your family!”
“Nicole and family were amazing!! Rummi was treated as a member of the family as soon as she arrived. Nicole provided regular and detailed updates as well as adorable photos. Rummi is wiped out from all the fun she had during her stay. We will definitely be booking with Nicole again! Highly recommend.”
“Mary Ann boarded/took into her home my Daizy, a 12-year-old toy poodle, while I had surgery. The best recommendation comes from Daizy who kept looking for Mary Ann after Daizy came home! My little was pampered, cared for and spoiled and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole was great to work with and we really appreciated her availability on short notice. She gave us many updates over a short period of time, we felt very comfortable with her!”
“Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.”
“Franny took wonderful care of my 14 year old Charlie overnight. She’s a very kind person and Charlie felt completely comfortable with her. He also got along well with her dog. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Kristina and Jordan took such amazing care of my pup while I was away. Kristina and Jordan treated her with so much love, and sent many pictures and videos during the stay. I’m definitely an anxious pet parent, but their care actually allowed me to relax knowing that she was in the best hands possible and having a great little vacation of her own. I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you guys so much!”
“Candice was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!! This was my first time leaving my baby boy with anyone! I was kept updated with messages and pics. Would definitely recommend and/or book with Candice again.”
“Christine was the best! Our dogs felt comfortable and excited to hang out with her right away, and it’s clear that she loves all animals and that they love her in return. She sent many adorable photos and updates, which we appreciated, and even led our dogs in an amazing art project. We picked them up a few hours ago and they are both still sleeping off their weekend of fun. Definitely recommend!”
“Karina was amazing!! She made the whole boarding process with our dog easier than I thought it would be! This was our first time leaving our dog in someone else's care and Karina made sure to update us daily on how our Nova was doing and she even sent pictures! We could tell that our dog adored Karina and was always having so much fun with Karina's dog, Ariel! Knowing that Nova was being loved and cared for by a responsible individual while my family was away definitely put my mind at ease. I (and Nova) are so thankful and look forward to seeing and booking with Karina again! I could not ask for a better person! I would, and will recommend Karina every time!!”
“As I write this review I look down at my pup who is exhausted from her stay with Mary and Todd. They took Harper in last minute for an overnight/all day play date with their other dog pepper. Harper was treated as one of their own. Over the course of her stay we had daily updates and shared pictures of the trip to art Omi and for evening/morning walks. I can’t thank them enough so I figured this review would be accepted as my appreciation. I would highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed!!! Thanks again Mary and Todd”
“My labradoodle Joye loves to stay with Angela and Tommy, I can say by his demeanour. I also like the updates about Joye with pictures and promptly responds to my messages .”

I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets carefully, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular photo updates.
“Janice took great care of our almost one year old golden retriever on a recent weekend stay. She was caring, thorough, and only takes on one pet at a time so she can provide one on one care and attention. Ellie loved getting to know Janice’s two dogs and cat and enjoying the beautiful fall weather from the relaxing farm atmosphere. Janice sent frequent updates and photos throughout Ellie’s stay, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. I would definitely book her again!”
“Contacted James kinda last minute. We met that evening and I dropped my dog off the following night. He must've had fun cause when I picked up up the following evening he was tired from all the playtime. Would definitely use again”
“Maria is a caring person who shares her time and love with the dogs she watches. Her fenced in yard is ample and perfect for running and playing.”
“Ashley was very flexible with drop off and pick up times! She sent me photos of the dogs and let me know how they were selling in. My larger dog is easily stressed, but we picked him up and he was completely comfortable! We will definitely be using her for any other dog sitting needs!”
“Katie was wonderful. This was short notice and she could not have been more accommodating. Tully had a great time playing with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Katie.”

About: 🐾 Whether your family includes playful pups, curious cats, chatty birds, colorful fish, happy chickens, friendly goats, tiny hamsters, busy gerbils, or any other beloved pets, I care for them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I know there's no substitute for you, but while you're away, I will make sure your furry, feathered, and four-legged friends receive plenty of care, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. And because caring for a home goes hand in hand with caring for pets, I am also happy to help with everyday household tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, managing trash and recycling, hanging pictures, and tackling small repairs. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and complete peace of mind for you. 🐾❤️🏡
“Wow! We’ve had several sitters over the years and Katie was BY FAR the best sitter ever! We booked the house sitting option and Katie was able to let our kitties out for even longer than expected. She went above and beyond. She let us know when food was running low and even offered to go get it!! Constantly sent us awesome photos and really seemed to bond with our furry babies.”
“Clara did a wonderful job with my cat, Jake. She was communicative with me, sending pictures and updates. She took the time to brush him and give him special treats. He seemed very content and happy! I would absolutely book Clara again. Any pet and pet parent is lucky to have her providing excellent care!”
“Ellen has house sat for us a few times and does a fantastic job every time. My two elderly cats have several medical needs that keep changing and she is always able to adhere to them. They both usually miss me a lot when I get home, but not so much when Ellen is watching them. She is incredibly responsible and trustworthy to house sit (which is very scary when dealing with someone you don’t know). Highly recommended!”
“Katie took such good care of my kitties! She stopped in prior to our scheduled pet sitting to meet my cats, which was much appreciated. She did everything I asked, and made an effort to give my kitties some playtime, even though they were being shy. She provided lots of pics and feedback after each visit, which I love to see, as I worry about my girls when I can’t be home with them. We will definitely be using her services again! ?”
“Elizabeth saved me in a pinch when I couldn't get home--she came over and walked my dog, whom she'd never laid eyes on, and brought her cute daughters to give her a snuggle. Plus sent me a picture of the scene, with my happy dog soaking up the attention. Thanks again!”
About: I have a strong understanding of feline nutrition and know how important it is to keep cats mentally stimulated and comfortable in their space. I’ve also supported a mama cat through pregnancy, delivery, and raising her kittens. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. 🤍
“Janice goes above and beyond with my extra temperamental cat! I totally trust her to spend time with and feed Jan her rather complicated dinner order. I always feel at ease when I know Janice is on duty and have booked repeatedly!”
“Makayla is so sweet with our dog - making sure he's having fun and getting all his needs met. She is timely and an excellent communicator which gives us great peace of mind. We highly recommend her!”
“Christine was amazing! Extremely friendly, accommodating, and took great care of my fur babies. I definitely would recommend! Thank you Christine!!”
“I am so glad I connected with Ashley to care for my cat , Henry. I was able to vacation without worry. The daily pictures and interaction were especially welcome. I highly recommend Ashley for all your pet needs . Thank you again ! Christine ?”
About: I’ve been caring for and raising cats since I was a kid, and they’ve always had a special place in my heart.

“This is the second time Sophie has cared for our two cats, and she’s been wonderful each time. She gives them so much love and playtime, and keeps us updated regularly, which we really appreciate. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re in good hands while we’re away. They were happy and content when we got back.”

“Karina was WONDERFUL! Our dog hasn’t been boarded a lot in her life, and has been nervous when she has, but she was comfortable as soon as we walked into the yard and so calm and happy when we picked her up! Karina was so communicative before and during her stay, and I appreciate how through she was with what to bring and making sure all the dogs in her care are up to date on vaccinations. We are so happy with our stay and will definitely bring our dog back!”

“We met Katie for a meet and greet and scheduled a dog walk together. I have 2 rescues who are both anxious and get nervous with new people. She has been very patient with them and asked lots of questions to better understand their behaviors. Katie has been great with our dogs and they are warming up to her. I will definitely be booking with Katie again.”
“Stacey is so incredible!!! She is communicative, flexible, and so kind. She took amazing care of my girl and went above and beyond to be helpful. A bear knocked over our recycling bin and she picked it all up, she brought a package in, and most importantly she made our dog so so happy!! We will call Stacey any time we need a little help with Blue going forward!”
“Priscilla saved the day accepting my request at very short notice. I had a 12 hour shift to work and no coverage for Louis. Additionally, I realized at the end of that 12 hour shift that I had no coverage for the next two days due (in no small part to a massive house move that had just occurred). Again, Priscilla came to the rescue and helped me for the next two days. She is a great communicator and a clearly dedicated professional.”

“Ella is wonderful! She is outgoing, friendly, and an excellent communicator. More important, she clearly adores dogs. She quickly bonded with our shy & anxious girl, Mina, at their first meeting.

About: Animals kept me safe my entire life, now I return the favor by keeping your babies safe while you’re away. ❤️ I have been working with animals my whole life. At only 3 I moved in with my step father onto a small farm(yes this means I can feed your chickens, gather your eggs, clean your stalls, and feed your cattle, pigs, or even horses). I spent three years working in the veterinary field where I learned to better understand and triage animal emergency and how to deal with them calmly and safely. I have 3 dogs, and 2 cats of my own as well as a bearded dragon and a few chickens, whom I love more than life. I have minimal boarding experience, but have had or worked with everything from fish and birds, to dogs to cattle, from snakes to horses, and I love each one of these creatures just as much as the rest. I adore all animals, and cherish my pets so much, and finding some one you can trust to REALLY care for them can be a challenge, so let me make your life a little easier with flexible, reliable, patient and gentle care. As a pet mom to 11 furry, scaly, and feathered babies, I know how hard it can be to find reliable pet care. My animals are my children, my babies; the most important things in my world. I promise to love yours the way I’d love my own. I am currently unemployed and taking a leap. What I’d LOVE is to start my own pet care company. I know how hard it is to find pet care in and around the Berkshires, especially the holidays when all the day cares and well known sitters are booked - so let me take some of that weight off you. I’m flexible and reliable and can do drops ins, walks, day stays, over nights, or multiple day stays. I’m open to any animal type, including pocket pets, exotics and special needs. What can I say? Pets are really the only thing most of us like in this crazy world; so it’s kind of the perfect job. 😉 I am open to all types of care, all types of animals, and all types of situations. I have experience in vet medicine and have had elderly and special needs animals my whole life. No matter how long my interaction with your baby is, I assure you it will be filled with love.

“Kristina and Jordan took such amazing care of my pup while I was away. Kristina and Jordan treated her with so much love, and sent many pictures and videos during the stay. I’m definitely an anxious pet parent, but their care actually allowed me to relax knowing that she was in the best hands possible and having a great little vacation of her own. I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you guys so much!”
“Candice was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!! This was my first time leaving my baby boy with anyone! I was kept updated with messages and pics. Would definitely recommend and/or book with Candice again.”
“Christine was the best! Our dogs felt comfortable and excited to hang out with her right away, and it’s clear that she loves all animals and that they love her in return. She sent many adorable photos and updates, which we appreciated, and even led our dogs in an amazing art project. We picked them up a few hours ago and they are both still sleeping off their weekend of fun. Definitely recommend!”
“Karina was amazing!! She made the whole boarding process with our dog easier than I thought it would be! This was our first time leaving our dog in someone else's care and Karina made sure to update us daily on how our Nova was doing and she even sent pictures! We could tell that our dog adored Karina and was always having so much fun with Karina's dog, Ariel! Knowing that Nova was being loved and cared for by a responsible individual while my family was away definitely put my mind at ease. I (and Nova) are so thankful and look forward to seeing and booking with Karina again! I could not ask for a better person! I would, and will recommend Karina every time!!”
“As I write this review I look down at my pup who is exhausted from her stay with Mary and Todd. They took Harper in last minute for an overnight/all day play date with their other dog pepper. Harper was treated as one of their own. Over the course of her stay we had daily updates and shared pictures of the trip to art Omi and for evening/morning walks. I can’t thank them enough so I figured this review would be accepted as my appreciation. I would highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed!!! Thanks again Mary and Todd”
About: I am a dependable, patient, and caring animal lover with many years of personal experience caring for dogs. I previously cared for my own Rottweiler for nine years, so I am comfortable with large breeds as well as smaller pets. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine. I will follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same love, attention, and respect I would give my own. Pet care fits well into my routine. I carefully schedule each booking around my work hours so I can provide dependable, unhurried care. I will keep my availability updated and communicate clearly with every pet owner. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets carefully, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular photo updates.
“Janice took great care of our almost one year old golden retriever on a recent weekend stay. She was caring, thorough, and only takes on one pet at a time so she can provide one on one care and attention. Ellie loved getting to know Janice’s two dogs and cat and enjoying the beautiful fall weather from the relaxing farm atmosphere. Janice sent frequent updates and photos throughout Ellie’s stay, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. I would definitely book her again!”
“Contacted James kinda last minute. We met that evening and I dropped my dog off the following night. He must've had fun cause when I picked up up the following evening he was tired from all the playtime. Would definitely use again”
“Maria is a caring person who shares her time and love with the dogs she watches. Her fenced in yard is ample and perfect for running and playing.”
“Ashley was very flexible with drop off and pick up times! She sent me photos of the dogs and let me know how they were selling in. My larger dog is easily stressed, but we picked him up and he was completely comfortable! We will definitely be using her for any other dog sitting needs!”
“Katie was wonderful. This was short notice and she could not have been more accommodating. Tully had a great time playing with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Katie.”
“This is the second time Addie has stayed with Lynsey for the weekend and we are so happy to have found her. She is wonderful and I feel 100% confident knowing Addie is being well taken care of.”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“We Love Caroline! She sent the sweetest update pics and was lovely to work with. Easy communication, good vibes all around. I’ll def be contacting her again for hangs with my pup.”
“I could not be more pleased… My dog had such a good time with Amanda and came home happy and content and tired so I know she had a very good day! And Amanda was wonderful in communicating with me throughout the day to let me know how my girl was doing and sending photos… Highly recommend and will already be booking again!”
“Blue was very happy at MJ's. MJ got back to us when no one else could during the beginning of a holiday weekend. She and her family were very accommodating and my pup felt at home there. Super happy with a great first visit ... I would not hesitate at all to bring him back. Plus her pups are friendly and Blue had a great time with them, including playing with the fam in the yard. He's out cold right now, the sign of a fun and active day.”
