“We love knowing Clover has such a loving place to stay with such terrific people, and appreciate the high level of communication and care. Can’t say enough good things.”
“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”
“Peter and Monique were so attentive to our dog for a whole week. Peter was very thorough in asking all about Sooty’s needs and preferences. We really appreciated the updates and photos, our dog had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I booked Peter based on reading the reviews and would say exactly the same as others have. Definitely recommend and will be booking again in future.”
“Tyr had another great stay at Christine’s.. When I drop him off he runs right in without looking back. When I pick him up he greets me excited & comfortable . Happy dog 🐕🦺💕”
“Thank you Rover for providing a platform for pet owners new and old to find such amazing people to take care of our fur babies. Nicole is such an amazing pet sitter. She took such great and loving care of my Loki. He’s never seemed happier. I would recommend Nicole to anyone and everyone with a pet that they love and want to be in the best of care. THANK YOU NICOLE.”
“Franny and her husband were absolutely wonderful!! They took extra great care of our pup! I highly recommend. It was soo convenient being right down the road from camp Pontiac, where we attended a wedding.”
“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!”
“Mary and Todd were wonderful hosts to our 4 month old puppy, June. Everything was handled very easily and leaving her behind with such nice people was really comforting. She even got a longer walk than she would have with us!”
“This was our second time using Caroline as our dog sitter, always a great experience! She’s very communicative, sent us updates, and took such great care of our puppy while we were away for two nights. We plan to book with Caroline again and highly recommend her!”
“Deanne took great care of our two dogs for over 2 weeks. It was the longest time we have been away from them but we did not need to worry, they had a great stay. Highly recommend.”
“Karina did a great job taking care of my pup. She was communicative and accommodative. My pup came home safe and tired. I would happily have Karina watch my pup again.”
“Amanda was amazing! I was so glad that we had a meet and greet beforehand so I could make sure my pup felt comfortable with her and her two dogs. My dog warmed up to them quickly, and I knew that he would be in good hands. Amanda was great with him and sent me updates with photos and videos. My dog felt right at home! Amanda is very professional and kind, and the fact that she is a Vet Tech is a bonus! I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda!”
“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!”
“Yenifer took excellent care of my dog. He was so happy with her! She made sure she communicated everyday with us during the stay, sent us pictures and updates. We are very happy with her services and would strongly recommend her. Thank you, Yenifer.”
“We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!”
“Cipriana and Pamela were communicative and professional. Dorito was much calmer than I thought she would be for her first overnight away. Thank you!”

“Sydney did a great job taking care of Maya, our 50 lb lab mix. She was very responsive during the booking process, arrived right on time, and sent pictures of their walk together.

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.”
“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!”
“Ellen did a fantastic job taking care of my two elderly cats that are on a very strict, and kind of confusing, medicine schedule. They get very lonely so I opted to have her house-sit while I was away for a week. She was inquisitive, responsive and sent pictures whenever needed! She kept the place very clean, and helped out with other house-sitting responsibilities. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have cats of my own and have experience in caring for both young and elderly cats. I have taken care of timid, shy, and outgoing kitties and know when to respect their space or give them some love. I am able to clean litter boxes, offer enriching play time, and administer medicine.
“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 bailed us out at the last minute and totally saved us. She was just great, and I think our cats even decided they like her better than they like us. Couldn't be happier that we have made this connection.”
“Janice and Noah were wonderful! They were so communicative and sent adorable photos and videos. It was great to have the peace of mind that our kitties were well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend.”
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. My experience includes everything from everyday cat care to bottle-feeding tiny kittens who lost their mom and needed around-the-clock love and attention. ❤️ I truly have a passion for caring for these beautiful babies and treat every cat like they’re one of my own. Whether your kitty is playful and social or prefers love on their own terms, I’m happy to give them the care, patience, cuddles, and attention they deserve. 🐾🐱
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. 🤍
“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.”
About: I own 3 cats and have never lived in a household without them. Cats are one of my favorite things about life. They are each as unique from each other as humans are, and I love this about them. Aside from my own, I have cared for cats of family and friends over the years. I honor and respect the uniqueness of every feline. Each cat’s needs and routines are unique. Building trust with a cat is rewarding, and it is always like making a new friend.
About: I have worked a lot with both ends of the spectrum in terms of activity: I enjoy sleepy dogs as well as hounds. I have a Hungarian Vizsla back home, who is essentially a hunting dog—and I enjoy seeing her tired at the end of the day. I have recently graduated from Bard College. This summer, I have plenty of time to take care of pets while I prepare for graduate studies. I love hiking, running, reading books, and watching movies — all of those activities are infinitely better with a cat, a dog, a turtle, or fish! At my client's houses, I make sure to maintain a clean and safe environment where pets do not come into contact with anything or anyone that poses even the slightest risk to their health and well-being.
“Kayleah looked after my older cat for two weeks and had a real connection with him. He is very timid and doesn't like everyone. Her care made all the difference in the world to me knowing he was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely have her care for him again!”

“Peter was great with my very energetic pup! He called a day before the appointment to make sure all my preferences are met. Very flexible with the times I requested. Most importantly, I was confident that my puppy was safe and enjoying himself. Peter’s home is dog friendly and he was kind enough to send me a picture of my beloved pup. Would definitely recommend!!”

Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.
“After 20 years of using the same pet sitter we moved and had to find someone else. Lucky for us we found Janice on Rover. When we returned after just one visit our dog greeted Janice like an old friend. She clearly loves animals and we are so glad we found a place for our dogs where they are really cared for.”
“Nicole was very sweet. She constantly sent pictures and videos of our dogs playing and made us feel more comfortable. Our puppy had a great time and was exhausted when she got home! We will definitely use her again!”
“Christine was phenomenal with our pups! Beau is still a baby (5mo) and I was super nervous about his first time at ”camp”, but Christine kept me updated and put me totally at ease. Both Beau and Coco loved her and we could not be more thankful for finding someone so perfect for them while we are in town. Thanks again!!”
“Bruno had a wonderful time at Kathleen's beautiful place! The fully-fenced in green space for the dogs was so peaceful I wanted to stay myself. Kathleen has a calming manner which the dogs respond well too. I am contemplating more trips to the Berkshires now that I know Bruno has a safe place where he will be happy and well taken care of while I spend time at Jacob's Pillow or museums. Thank you!”
About: I absolutely love animals. I have been helping friends and neighbors with watching their pets for years. I currently have two dogs myself, one with complicated medical needs. I am confident I would be able to care for your pets no matter their age. I currently work from home 2-3 days per week and am available most weekends. Our two Poms love to play and cuddle with us on the couch. Your pets would be welcome to join us on the couch. I have a fenced in backyard. I live in a dead-end street near the rail trail so walks are a breeze and do not have me near any main roads. I do have two Pomeranians to keep your pets company while with us. Both of my dogs are fixed and friendly.
About: My own dogs are always the #1 teacher. They show me how to best care for them - with food, play, training, medications, travel, sleepless days and nights when they've been ill, and giving them all them comfort I can. I've volunteered at dog shelters, spent hours walking dogs in all kinds of weather, and offered comfort to friends who've had to say goodbye to their best fur friends. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention - playing, feeding, and scratching behind the ears. I take my dog for swims in the river, off leash romps in the woods, and leashed walks around town. We also play fetch and tug-of-war in the house or on the deck. If your dog needs a playmate, my dog, Jackson, may be a good fit. My cats - depending on their mood - like to lounge in the sun, pounce on the occasional toy, run up stairs, and hunt for treats I've hidden for them.
“Diana and her kids took great care of our dog. He had lots of playtime with her and her kids. It was a great comfort knowing our pup was in good hands and well cared for. Thank you Diana! We will definitely use her again.”
“Kennedy has a fabulous time with Samantha and Michael and their adorable kids! We got updates and pictures and they were very quick to respond. We were very happy and would highly recommend them! Kennedy would love to come back to play!”
“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 had such a great experience with Yenifer! Our dog, Rocky, absolutely enjoyed his stay—he came home happy and relaxed. Yenifer was incredibly kind and responsive, and even accommodated us on very short notice, which we really appreciated.”

“Sydney was fantastic!! Chloe was so happy!! I would highly recommend Sydney to anyone! Chloe would too🐾❤️ certainly took the worry out of my days away knowing she was being taken care of so wonderfully!!”
“Ashley is a delight. She was very communicative and caring about our elderly dog with special needs.

We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again.”

“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. As well, Ella was unflustered when I realized I'd scheduled the wrong day for one of Mina's walks. Thankfully, she was able to accommodate my (very) last-minute revision! We will definitely request Ella again!!”

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.

“We love knowing Clover has such a loving place to stay with such terrific people, and appreciate the high level of communication and care. Can’t say enough good things.”
“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”
“Peter and Monique were so attentive to our dog for a whole week. Peter was very thorough in asking all about Sooty’s needs and preferences. We really appreciated the updates and photos, our dog had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I booked Peter based on reading the reviews and would say exactly the same as others have. Definitely recommend and will be booking again in future.”
“Tyr had another great stay at Christine’s.. When I drop him off he runs right in without looking back. When I pick him up he greets me excited & comfortable . Happy dog 🐕🦺💕”
“Thank you Rover for providing a platform for pet owners new and old to find such amazing people to take care of our fur babies. Nicole is such an amazing pet sitter. She took such great and loving care of my Loki. He’s never seemed happier. I would recommend Nicole to anyone and everyone with a pet that they love and want to be in the best of care. THANK YOU NICOLE.”
“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!”
“Mary and Todd were wonderful hosts to our 4 month old puppy, June. Everything was handled very easily and leaving her behind with such nice people was really comforting. She even got a longer walk than she would have with us!”
“This was our second time using Caroline as our dog sitter, always a great experience! She’s very communicative, sent us updates, and took such great care of our puppy while we were away for two nights. We plan to book with Caroline again and highly recommend her!”
“Deanne took great care of our two dogs for over 2 weeks. It was the longest time we have been away from them but we did not need to worry, they had a great stay. Highly recommend.”
“Karina did a great job taking care of my pup. She was communicative and accommodative. My pup came home safe and tired. I would happily have Karina watch my pup again.”
“Amanda was amazing! I was so glad that we had a meet and greet beforehand so I could make sure my pup felt comfortable with her and her two dogs. My dog warmed up to them quickly, and I knew that he would be in good hands. Amanda was great with him and sent me updates with photos and videos. My dog felt right at home! Amanda is very professional and kind, and the fact that she is a Vet Tech is a bonus! I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda!”
“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!”
“We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!”
“Cipriana and Pamela were communicative and professional. Dorito was much calmer than I thought she would be for her first overnight away. Thank you!”
“Jillian was a great sitter! We were nervous about leaving our pup with someone new but she was great. We checked in frequently and she was quick to respond with updates and photos!! We will be booking again!!”
“Lynsey did a great job caring for my senior pet! I appreciate the fact that she picked my pet up and dropped him off in the morning! Definitely a treat for us. My dog was in good hands!”
