“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. My partner and I have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
“Nicole is very accommodating and communicative. Daisy always enjoys herself there. She loves the fenced in yard and how she is spoiled when inside. We have used Nicole several times and will continue to do so”
“Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Ruby’s visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???”
“Samantha and her family were amazing with Strider! She worked to figure out the best way to burn his energy and to keep him happy. As a bonus, she lives in an area any dog would love with places to hike and things to smell. I absolutely recommend her!”
“Peppa is a small Chihuahua and can be shy and cautious with new people, but Michael handled her with great patience and understanding. He was able to gain her trust the very same day, which truly impressed me. He kept us updated with pictures almost every day, and it was wonderful to see that she felt comfortable enough to go outside and even play with his dog. He made sure she was safe and at ease at all times, which gave me real peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care and effort he put into looking after her. I would definitely book with him again 💯. Great service!”
“Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!”
“Luiz and his family were so sweet to my pup, Echo, that I don’t think she wanted to come home! They treated her like family and she had a blast exploring their wonderful fenced in backyard and lounging on the couch when she needed a break. She played like crazy with the other pups and came home nice and tired! Luiz kept me up to date with frequent pictures and videos of her having fun. I felt so comfortable leaving her with them and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“My two dogs enjoyed their stay with Rachael and her family. It is a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and her two dogs are great! Outside time, sofa time, just perfect. We'll be back!!”
“Karl was an amazing dog sitter! He was punctual with returning my messages, kind, caring, and provided great service for my two big Doodles! Doodles! Karl sent images which were so great to get since we love our babies like their are our dogs ❤️ I highly recommend Karl for all your dog care needs.”
“Kourtney was great with our pup, Carl. Carl is an energetic guy and Kourtney provided all that he needed in his 9 day stay. Kourtney’s communication with us before and during his stay was professional and timely. We would use Kourtney’s services again 💯.”
“Excellent care and environment for Sarah's first two weeks away from home! Sarah came home happy and healthy! And Phil sent lots of great photos to keep my happy too :) Thank you!!”
“Christian responded quickly to our initial request & because we had a long drive he agreed to accommodate a 2 hour drop off window (we texted updates). He was friendly at drop off, happily engaged the dogs, asked good questions about their needs & sent photos as requested. At pick-up he offered details about their stay. Both dogs were happy to see us but seemed to have enjoyed their night with Christian. Would book again”

About: Hi! My name is Caitlyn, and I'm a dependable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like they're my own. I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in good hands, and my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you're away. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship and lots of cuddles.

I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and respectful of both your home and your pet's routine. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members!
“Kiersten did such a wonderful job of caring for our four cats while we were away! She arrived on time, well prepared for her stay at our home. I was immediately at ease with her, and could see that our cats were too. She sent photo updates each day, which was a comfort to us as we traveled, and the cats looked great and very relaxed with her. Most surprising for us was that our very energetic and sometimes anxious newest cat, who arrived just a few months ago, really loved being with Kiersten, and he very soon got cozy with her! He was just beginning to relax with us but hadn't yet even begun to sit on my lap when I left. Our eldest cat also clearly loved being with her! He's very unique and emotionally complex, and doesn't always relate so easily with people. We are very grateful for her attentive care to our precious cats, and highly recommend her services. We would be happy to work with her again!”
“Amanda has been amazing! She’s done a couple of drop-ins for me to give my cat her medication, and did a long weekend stay at my house. She left my place in the same state it was in when I left, and provided updates at the end of each visit.”
“Melanie was fantastic with our two cats! She was reliable, attentive and caring and followed every detail of our care instructions perfectly. She kept our automatic cat boxes and food dispensers refreshed on schedule and even cleaned and recycled the food containers and dealt with the trash. Our kitties were happy to see her even our very shy kitty which gave us peace of mind. We wouldn't hesitate to book Melanie again and highly recommend her to anyone for a very caring cat sitter.”
“Danielle was able to modify my original booking, becauase I accidentally put in the wrong dates. She kept us informed of the feeding and scooping of the cat boxes. She also told us about if she saw the cats, they hid when people are over.”
About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.
“Absolutely thrilled with the quality of service. I received pictures and updates. My cats were well cared for, and it made being away much more comfortable. I would absolutely recommend.Amanda.”
About: Because we all know… cats have standards 😌✨ I offer calm, gentle, and respectful care for your feline friends, including: 🐱 Feeding & fresh water 🧼 Litter box cleaning 🎾 Playtime (or quiet companionship—cat’s choice!) 💖 Affection on their terms ✔️ Shy or nervous cats ✔️ Senior cats ✔️ Independent personalities 🏡 Care is provided in your home so your cat stays relaxed in their own space 🐾 I understand that earning a cat’s trust is everything—and I take that seriously. 💕
About: I've shared my life with cats since I was a child and understand that every cat has their own unique personality. I have experience caring for playful kittens, shy or timid cats, senior cats, feral cats, and cats with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, following special diets, and providing the extra patience and gentle care that many cats require. My own 18-year-old cat has taught me the importance of compassionate senior care and paying attention to the little changes that can make a big difference. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I'll respect their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
“Kendra was wonderful! Very responsive and took great care of our cats while we were away on fairly short notice. We loved all the pictures she sent each day and she even offered to scoop the litter box even though we had not asked her to do so. Thanks again, Kendra!”
About: Cats are animals I’ve always naturally vibed with. I currently have three of my own, all adopted as strays when they were tiny kittens. I’ve also fostered orphaned kittens whose mother sadly passed away, so I’m comfortable with gentle, patient care and understanding their unique needs. I truly love caring for cats of all personalities—shy, playful, independent, or cuddly—and I always move at their pace to help them feel safe and understood. Your kitty will be treated with the same love and respect I give my own.
“We enjoyed vacation much more knowing that Kaitlyn was taking very good care of our two fur babies (cats). Kaitlyn is very prompt, friendly and communicative. We enjoyed getting photos and updates while we were away. 10/10 would recommend Kaitlyn if you are looking for a sitter. We will definitely be rebooking in the future ??”

“Some people just have that natural rapport with animals and Alexis is definitely one of them! My recently adopted husky has been struggling with separation anxiety and Alexis made her feel right at home. By the time I picked Bella up, she had gone on THREE walks and I had so many photos to enjoy! I simply cannot recommend Alexis’s conscientious care enough, and the next time Bella needs daytime care I will be coming back with no hesitation. Thank you! It couldn’t have been better!”

“Susan was great! My dog had a wonderful time at her place. It’s a quiet location in the woods, with two pet goats that Rennie got to hang out with and go on woods walks with. Susan was really flexible with my timing and communicated super quickly, both of which I totally appreciated. I’ll be glad to have my dog back to ‘summer camp’ there anytime!”

About: Greetings! I’ve had the pleasure of Dogsitting for more than a decade. It’s brings me so much joy and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. Teryn, my partner, and I both grew up in Amherst and are back in the happy valley starting this summer. He works remotely and I work seasonally so we have the time to give our attention and affection to the pups we watch. Dogsitting has become our additional full time job and we love it! Our schedules and home allow us to give 24/7 attention to your furbabies with numerous outdoor breaks, play, and of course snuggles. Though I have fortunately never had to use it, I do have extensive Dogsitting insurance to cover both boarding and housesitting. We value the peace of mind it brings both us and our clients. I have a degree in Biology and worked as a Veterinary Technician, giving me the experience of various breeds and needs. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Boarding dogs has become part of our daily routine so we have a schedule to fit all needs and preferences. Once you book with us, we work our schedule around the booking. I love enjoying walks around the lake we live on, as well as the many trails nearby. We can also play fetch in the backyard if pup can be off leash. Our house is in a very low traffic area full of nature. We are very attentive and we make sure we have details on their routines, feeding, medications and any special needs.

“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. My partner and I have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
“Nicole is very accommodating and communicative. Daisy always enjoys herself there. She loves the fenced in yard and how she is spoiled when inside. We have used Nicole several times and will continue to do so”
“Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Ruby’s visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???”
“Samantha and her family were amazing with Strider! She worked to figure out the best way to burn his energy and to keep him happy. As a bonus, she lives in an area any dog would love with places to hike and things to smell. I absolutely recommend her!”
“Peppa is a small Chihuahua and can be shy and cautious with new people, but Michael handled her with great patience and understanding. He was able to gain her trust the very same day, which truly impressed me. He kept us updated with pictures almost every day, and it was wonderful to see that she felt comfortable enough to go outside and even play with his dog. He made sure she was safe and at ease at all times, which gave me real peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care and effort he put into looking after her. I would definitely book with him again 💯. Great service!”
“Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!”
“Luiz and his family were so sweet to my pup, Echo, that I don’t think she wanted to come home! They treated her like family and she had a blast exploring their wonderful fenced in backyard and lounging on the couch when she needed a break. She played like crazy with the other pups and came home nice and tired! Luiz kept me up to date with frequent pictures and videos of her having fun. I felt so comfortable leaving her with them and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“My two dogs enjoyed their stay with Rachael and her family. It is a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and her two dogs are great! Outside time, sofa time, just perfect. We'll be back!!”
“Karl was an amazing dog sitter! He was punctual with returning my messages, kind, caring, and provided great service for my two big Doodles! Doodles! Karl sent images which were so great to get since we love our babies like their are our dogs ❤️ I highly recommend Karl for all your dog care needs.”
“Kourtney was great with our pup, Carl. Carl is an energetic guy and Kourtney provided all that he needed in his 9 day stay. Kourtney’s communication with us before and during his stay was professional and timely. We would use Kourtney’s services again 💯.”
“Excellent care and environment for Sarah's first two weeks away from home! Sarah came home happy and healthy! And Phil sent lots of great photos to keep my happy too :) Thank you!!”
“Christian responded quickly to our initial request & because we had a long drive he agreed to accommodate a 2 hour drop off window (we texted updates). He was friendly at drop off, happily engaged the dogs, asked good questions about their needs & sent photos as requested. At pick-up he offered details about their stay. Both dogs were happy to see us but seemed to have enjoyed their night with Christian. Would book again”
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m patient, responsible, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and feels comfortable while you’re away. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, whether they’re energetic and love to play or just want some company and attention. I’m also happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping up with their normal routine. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well taken care of. I have an early routine. I would wake up early and feed the pups or cats. I would take them out for walks through out the day and feed dinner in the evening I have a very calm home, i do have a cat and dog, they are both sweet and loving and would love a new friend.
“Everything went great , my dog was calm and happy the day I brought her home from being boarded. Erika sent a good amount of photos during her stay. I will definitely book again in the future.”
“Paul is fantastic and was able to take Milo last minute for us! Milo came home happy, tired and very well taken care of! We will definitely being using Paul in the future and highly recommend him!”
“Heidi has always been so kind and loving toward Sabrina. Sabrina was not feeling well this weekend, and Heidi did her best to make sure Sabrina felt comfortable. Although I was nervous about Sabrina not feeling well, Heidi kept me updated and took such good care of her!”
