“We had a great experience leaving our Cocker Spaniel Alfred with John. Every part of the experience was excellent — John offered to meet us and Alfred the week before the drop off; when we dropped Alfred off John said he was going to spend some one on one time with Alfred to get to know him. It was easy and our dog loved his visit. We’ll be back again for sure!”
“I can’t say enough about how well Sadie was cared for Kristina is certainly a dog-person. She read all the signs that Sadie was giving her to play, train go for a walk and chill. She followed all our directions and cared for Sadie as if she was her own dog. We received a lot of communication in the form of photos and videos. I would highly and without hesitation recommend Kristina to care for your dog too.”
“Butter had such a nice stay! Nicole sent so many pictures of him throughout his stay and he got so much socializing time with other puppy friends! He looked like he had such a fun time and seemed well taken care of! I loved receiving updates and pictures all throughout the day to see what he’s up to and what he’s doing! I definitely will rebook again!”
“Mary Ann is quite simply the best. This was our third time booking her to care for our elderly dog, and she did not disappoint. She creates a thoughtful care plan to cover all possible needs, provides updates while we’re away, and makes sure our canine child is loved in our absence. What more could you ask for?! Will absolutely book her again [and again]!”
“This was our dog's first stay with Alan and Luis and we already booked another visit for this summer. They were so nice, responsive, accommodating and communicative - quick responses, sending updates and photos, etc. Laney seemed in great spirits when we picked her up. We are so happy to have found this lovely place!”
“Karina was wonderful with my Piper. She is an anxious dog and took to her right away on our trial stay. She sent pictures and updates twice a day. We have never been able to leave her with an anyone away from our home. I am very happy we found someone who took amazing care of her. Thank you!”
“Tito had the best time staying with Khanh & Tommy! I received regular updates and pictures and he looked so happy being there. It made being away from him so much easier knowing he was being well taken care of and happy. Thank you!”
“Katie was great! She was very nice and outgoing. She arranged a meet and greet prior to scheduled date and she interacted with my puppy well and brought her dog Storm to play with my puppy. When dropping my puppy off, her house was clean and spacious for Gumby’s stay. She listened to any specific requests related to Gumby. I enjoyed Katie and trusted her with my puppy. I will continue to use Katie as a dog sitter in the future.”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! She was so responsive, sent lots of pics and I’ve never seen my dog so happy in someone else’s home! 10/10 experience!!! Thank you Nicole for taking such perfect care of Misha!!!”
“We had an incredible experience. From the first meet and greet, watching the way she introduced 1 dog st a time. Advising me to bring Ranger to a dog park between our meet and his stay was an nice way for me to see how well he got along and played with others. I was more at ease about leaving my pup for a week. He returned happy, well cared for and tired from his vacation. I would absolutely leave Ranger in Cruz Maria 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.”
“They were very attentive to our dog. Professional sitters. I received Updates and pictures. Appreciated the communication. Very experienced with different dogs And take pride in making an inviting environment.”
“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 had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“James took care of Oreo for 2 weeks during the holidays, he was always responsive to messages and send pictures every couple of days! Definitely would recommend! Thanks for all the help”

“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.”
“We’re SO happy we found Ashley! We needed someone last minute to watch our Yorkie, Maverick, while we were on vacation, and man, we really lucked out. From the start, she made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her and sent us tons of pictures and updates while we were away. Each one melting our hearts more than the last. She took such amazing care of Maverick and really made him part of the family. Her son and Maverick became the best little buddies, which was honestly so sweet to see. It made us so happy knowing he was having fun, getting lots of love, and feeling right at home while we were gone. We came home to a VERY happy pup, and we couldn’t be more thankful. We will absolutely have Ashley watch Maverick next time and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of their fur babies! ❤️🐾”

About: I have cat sit for over 10 years for friends, neighbors, and professors. I am comfortable with cars of any demeanor and am happy to provide your pet with whatever they might need. I have taken care of special needs cats, elderly cats, and kittens, and am comfortable providing medicine, cleaning up accidents, and supporting their wellbeing in any way I can.
About: I have been watching animals since I was 12 years old. Taking the neighbors pets for a walk, feeding them, or just checking in on them. I also have my Animal Control License and have been an ACO for 2 years now. I love it. I have a passion for animals and will do anything to make sure your fur babies are well kept and safe. I do work full time during the day M-F so midday check-ins are a little hard but morning and nighttime services are always easy for me to accomplish! I typically watch the animals in their own home just so they can stay within their routine. I never want to make the owner or animal feel uncomfortable ever.
About: I have grown up with pets in my house all my life! Whether it be cats, dogs, chickens, goats, you name it! We rescued all of our fur babies so I have seen and experienced a lot in the animal world. I am currently a full time college student and I work part time. I can drop in before school, before I go to work, and when I am out of work! I can also do other times as long as we stay in communication. As I will be doing drop in and walks I will keep your animals leashed at all times unless specified differently so there are no escapees. I love giving my fur babies treats so if you provide me with the certain kind your babies can have I will gladly give them a treat for being adorable!
“Ashley was great- communicative, extremely helpful, and managed all the cat care throughout blizzard conditions! My cat was totally relaxed and happy when we came home. Thank you Ashley!”
“She was awesome taking care of our cats! She’s very good at giving oral medication so I felt comfortable with her giving meds to our boy. Thank you so much!!”
“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.”
“Amanda was great! She was consistent and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Including taking care of cleaning the cat bowls and picking up after one of them got sick. She gave good updates. Would use again and recommend to others.”

I would go back to Christine's anytime we are back in Queens.”

“Ashley is a delight. She was very communicative and caring about our elderly dog with special needs. We only needed her to come and take him for a walk, but he is blind and deaf and also wears a diaper. She let us know when she got to our house and sent pictures afterwards. We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her 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!”
“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.”

I am very flexible, I can work any day as I love taking care of pets and knowing they are as happy and safe as they can possibly be. I am not able to host dogs in my home, however, when taking care of a dog in your home, I would be willing to feed, walk, bathe or play with them in exactly the preferred way.

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.
“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.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with Labs, so I’m very familiar with big personalities, lots of energy, long walks, playtime, and plenty of slobbery love. 🐾 I also adopted a cat, which taught me that sometimes the best way to win a pet over is to let them come to you (and maybe offer a few treats!). Although my own pets have since passed, they gave me years of experience, amazing memories, and a genuine love for caring for animals. I’m patient, playful, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure outside, a game of fetch, or just some extra love and company, I’m happy to be their new buddy while you’re away! ❤️ I currently own my own business and make my own hours and work from home, so I can easily make my own schedule fit around any pet care! I'm lucky to have an open, comfortable and clean home where I can walk animals on the many acres I live on. I can also crate animals if that's how they are trained. When in other people's homes, I'm incredibly conscious of being considerate, following directions to respect their space, and understanding how the animal uses and loves the space.

“We had a great experience leaving our Cocker Spaniel Alfred with John. Every part of the experience was excellent — John offered to meet us and Alfred the week before the drop off; when we dropped Alfred off John said he was going to spend some one on one time with Alfred to get to know him. It was easy and our dog loved his visit. We’ll be back again for sure!”
“I can’t say enough about how well Sadie was cared for Kristina is certainly a dog-person. She read all the signs that Sadie was giving her to play, train go for a walk and chill. She followed all our directions and cared for Sadie as if she was her own dog. We received a lot of communication in the form of photos and videos. I would highly and without hesitation recommend Kristina to care for your dog too.”
“Butter had such a nice stay! Nicole sent so many pictures of him throughout his stay and he got so much socializing time with other puppy friends! He looked like he had such a fun time and seemed well taken care of! I loved receiving updates and pictures all throughout the day to see what he’s up to and what he’s doing! I definitely will rebook again!”
“This was our dog's first stay with Alan and Luis and we already booked another visit for this summer. They were so nice, responsive, accommodating and communicative - quick responses, sending updates and photos, etc. Laney seemed in great spirits when we picked her up. We are so happy to have found this lovely place!”
“Karina was wonderful with my Piper. She is an anxious dog and took to her right away on our trial stay. She sent pictures and updates twice a day. We have never been able to leave her with an anyone away from our home. I am very happy we found someone who took amazing care of her. Thank you!”
“Katie was great! She was very nice and outgoing. She arranged a meet and greet prior to scheduled date and she interacted with my puppy well and brought her dog Storm to play with my puppy. When dropping my puppy off, her house was clean and spacious for Gumby’s stay. She listened to any specific requests related to Gumby. I enjoyed Katie and trusted her with my puppy. I will continue to use Katie as a dog sitter in the future.”
“We had an incredible experience. From the first meet and greet, watching the way she introduced 1 dog st a time. Advising me to bring Ranger to a dog park between our meet and his stay was an nice way for me to see how well he got along and played with others. I was more at ease about leaving my pup for a week. He returned happy, well cared for and tired from his vacation. I would absolutely leave Ranger in Cruz Maria again.”
“They were very attentive to our dog. Professional sitters. I received Updates and pictures. Appreciated the communication. Very experienced with different dogs And take pride in making an inviting environment.”
“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 had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“James took care of Oreo for 2 weeks during the holidays, he was always responsive to messages and send pictures every couple of days! Definitely would recommend! Thanks for all the help”

“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.”
“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.”
“We’re SO happy we found Ashley! We needed someone last minute to watch our Yorkie, Maverick, while we were on vacation, and man, we really lucked out. From the start, she made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her and sent us tons of pictures and updates while we were away. Each one melting our hearts more than the last. She took such amazing care of Maverick and really made him part of the family. Her son and Maverick became the best little buddies, which was honestly so sweet to see. It made us so happy knowing he was having fun, getting lots of love, and feeling right at home while we were gone. We came home to a VERY happy pup, and we couldn’t be more thankful. We will absolutely have Ashley watch Maverick next time and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of their fur babies! ❤️🐾”
“Poppy had a wonderful time with Jennifer. She is very caring and attentive. She sent me multiple pictures each day and kept me informed. This is my second time using Jennifer to care for Poppy, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Jennifer.”
“Heather sent photos every day and videos so I knew my dogs were enjoying themselves. Beautiful fenced in yard made play time fun and safe. Quick communication, easy drop up, and willing to change pick up time. I would recommend her for all dog parents!”
