“Brooke was great, able to take our puppy in on short notice so we could attend a concert at Tanglewood, and very attentive to his needs. A great help if you are coming from out of town and unsure where to leave your pup for a few hours or overnight”
“Jess was good. We booked her while we were in Berkshires for our weekend ski/snowboard trip. It was a basically a 2 day noticed thankfully she was available. We enjoyed ourselves knowing that our Shiba girl Yumi was taken care of. Twice a day updates as requested. Whenever were in the area again, will rebook. Thanks Jess!”
“Irene has been such a great find in the Berkshires! She always gives helpful communication with each stay, and Ruby seems to love her time with Irene (and her sweet dog Goldie). Thanks for all of the care that you give to Ruby - we'll see you soon!”
“My dog was well taken care of and didn't spend my vacation locked up in a kennel, so I didn't have to worry about her. Aura sent pictures and updates every day, and I was very happy with the whole situation.”
“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.”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, and providing lots of love, attention, and companionship.

I have a large yard and a 2,500 sq ft home so your babies will have room! I also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your pets company 😊 I have an extra room in my home for pets but if sleeping on my bed is more their style then that’s okay too!
“I was very comfortable leaving my dog with Deanne! My girl has a lot of energy and loves attention, and I was relieved to hear that this wasn't bothersome at all. I got routine updates throughout the week, and Deanne was very responsive to my messages. 10/10 would hire again.”

“Kelsey was terrific. She picked up our dog at the hotel right on time next morning Charlotte was delivered back to us again right on time. This one stop overnight on our way to vacation allowed us to attend a performance. We are very pleased with The River experience away from our home”
“I couldn’t be happier with the comfort and care Saskia provided to our Golden Retriever. Just on Day 2, the picture I got was our little boy flat on his back, paws up, sound asleep! He was so comfortable and happy, he did his usually chill yoga pose lol. I’m going to try and attach the picture I got. I would 100% request Saskia for pet care and will absolutely recommend her to all my friends and family. 10 stars if I could!”
“Chelsea offered her home to our pup, Sansa, and treated her like family while we traveled. She is an excellent communicator and sent plenty of updates and photos of our girl enjoying her visit. I highly recommend Chelsea for your dog boarding needs!”
“Our dog had a fabulous stay with Mahayla! Since it was our first time, Mahayla offered to come to our home to get to know our pup before caring for her the next day. They hit it off immediately and Mahayla explained her background in animal/dog behavior studies and reassured us that all would go well... and it did! Our pup had a blast trail hiking and also just relaxing at Mahayla's home. Mahayla clearly understands and loves dogs, and it was clear that she was focused on our dog's enjoyment, comfort level and care. She was also focused on our needs as the owners. Leading up to care day she was extremely responsive. On care day she sent photos and updates. A perfect stay...thanks, Mahayla!”
About: Dogs and I understand each other. I've always gotten them and they've always gotten me. Maybe because I grew up with three mammoth Samoyeds and Malamutes, and shared my life with Max, my sweet Cavalier, until he passed. Beyond love and care, I'm good at training and socializing, and dogs respond to my calm, confident leadership. I once cared for a reactive dog who barked at everyone who came near her, and I was the only one who could get her to settle and listen. After a month with a young Portuguese Water Dog, her owners told me she moped after I left. But mostly I think dogs feel good around me because they sense I genuinely care about them. I believe dogs are here to teach us to love and I want every dog to experience great care. For me, good dog care starts with getting to know the dog and the people who love them. I think dogs feel safest when their sitter truly knows them. Before any stay, I like to meet you and your dog, take a short walk together, and learn the little things that make your dog feel at home. That's why every stay begins with a meet and greet. What I offer that's different: - Pick-up and drop-off for longer stays: For stays of a week or more, I'll pick up and drop off your dog anywhere within a 30 minute drive of Dalton, including Lenox, Stockbridge, and Great Barrington. One less thing to manage before your trip. My home is calm and quiet, with a large, fully fenced backyard on a peaceful street in Dalton. I work from home, so your dog has company through the day, plus walks, play, and plenty of affection. I follow your instructions to the letter so your dog's routine stays as close to home as possible, and you'll get photos and a quick update every day so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Also happy to reinforce any training your dog is working on like leash manners. How I work: Every new client starts with a meet and greet, about 30 minutes with a short walk together, so your dog and I can meet before the stay. It helps make sure we're a great match, and your dog arrives already knowing a friendly face. Boarding in my home is a great fit if your dog: Settles comfortably for stretches after the initial sniffing and cuddles to get used to a new space. Is house-trained and walks well on a leash Is not a heavy shedder or super vocal Services Boarding: 2-night minimum House sitting: 2- night minimum, 2 night maximum for first sit I'd love to hear about your dog! I work from home so your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention from morning to evening. I usually walk dogs according to the schedule they are used to. In between, they can hang with me. IFeeding times will also coincide with your instructions. I'm an early riser so you are welcome to drop your dog off (with notice) as early as 7:30 am. I have a large three bedroom home with an huge fenced back yard on a quiet street near trails. It's single floor so no stairs for older dogs to contend with.
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“My girl Josie had a fantastic time with Nicole; she was well-cared for, well-loved and I received daily updates and pics of all the fun she was having. I highly recommend Nicole and will certainly use her again!”

I could tell our girls were happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of, which gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to really enjoy our time away. We’ll absolutely use them again. Highly recommend!”

“Daniella took such amazing care of our sweet Gandalf, while he was sick and needed to take medicine orally. He didn’t make it easy but she was patient, kind, and kept our home in great condition while we were away so it was lovely to return home to. THANK YOU DANIELLA!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Kelsey. She was great! She did everything I asked for my 2 cats twice-a-day feeding and care. This allowed my kitties to stay home in the environment they are comfortable with. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years and dogs for my entire life, including animals with both medical needs and behavioral challenges. That experience has taught me how to be patient, observant, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. I’m also a registered nurse with 10 years of nursing experience, and that medical background often transfers well when caring for pets with health issues. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, keeping up with medication routines, and noticing subtle changes that may need attention. Most of all, I genuinely love furry friends and know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident that their baby is being cared for with kindness, skill, and reliability.
“Ellen took wonderful care of our cat Seven while my husband and I were out of town for several days. She sent detailed updates daily with photos, made sure to give Seven lots of playtime with his favorite toys, and kept our home in spotless condition as well. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a responsible, communicative sitter who loves cats!”

“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: My experience in pet care began during my childhood on my grandparents’ farm, where I was surrounded by a wide variety of animals every day. From an early age, I learned the importance of responsibility, compassion, and attentive care. I gained hands-on experience feeding, grooming, and nurturing animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, livestock, and small animals—each with their own unique needs and personalities. More than just daily routines, I developed strong, loving bonds with the animals I cared for, treating them as family. That foundation shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior and my commitment to providing patient, personalized, and reliable care for every pet I work with. I bring a deep love and understanding of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From playful pups to sweet seniors, I tailor each walk to fit their needs. I prioritize safety, communication, and fun—always engaging with your dog and even teaching basic cues like sit, stay, and wait during our adventures. I’m passionate about nature and I believe dogs thrive when they can safely explore their environment —sniffing the breeze, feeling the grass under their paws, and soaking up the world around them. I’m dependable, energetic, and treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a playful outing, your pup will be in great hands and have a tail-wagging good time! Dog walking fits perfectly into my current routine. I’m a part-time healthcare worker with a consistent schedule, working from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pup. I truly enjoy incorporating walks into my day—they keep me active, bring me joy, and let me connect with more wonderful dogs. Your dog will receive dependable, loving care from someone who’s already made this a part of daily life. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are at the heart of every walk I take. I prioritize clean, open, and dog-friendly spaces—like the Rail-Trail, local parks, and secure walking paths—where pups can enjoy fresh air and nature safely. I always use leash control, stay highly observant of their behavior, and make sure every walk is calm, comfortable, and secure. Whether we’re exploring a quiet trail or playing at a safe dog park, your dog’s well-being is my top priority. You can trust that your pup is in caring, capable, and experienced hands every step of the way.
“Saskia has a lovely home and managed all the different dogs in her care, including her two adorable Pomeranians, so seamlessly. I felt very comfortable knowing she had everything under control. She sent me cute pictures and updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend her to anyone traveling through the area who wants peace of mind knowing their little ones are being cared for with love and attention!”
“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!!”

About: I'll provide constant supervision of your pet. I enjoy interacting with animals. Although I am not a professional dog handler I have had a dog in the house for the past 12 years. I will do my best to provide competent care for your pet. I am currently retired from the Columbia County jail, after completing 23 years. I am a Navy veteran. My wife and I have twin boys who are all grown up and out of the house. As a result of this I have become a little bored. I would appreciate your consideration when deciding on who to entrust the care of your pet while you are away. You will be able to be rest assured that they are being taken care of. I am usually available all the time except for the occasional vacation I might go on. Weekends are no problem either. I am pretty much available year round. I like to hang out with my dog all day. Adding more animals to the mix is no problem. I like taking walks with them and I also have a fenced yard.
“Jialin and John took great care of our Noodle while we attended a friend’s wedding in the area. We are not NY locals and the decision to bring our dog on the trip with us was somewhat last minute, so we were so lucky and grateful to find people to care for Noodle for a full day on such short notice. We received many photos and videos throughout the day which reassured us that Noodle was having fun and in great hands! If we lived in the area we would 100% book them again, and we’re honestly bummed that they can’t be our regular dog sitters due to distance. We are very satisfied with the care they provided and we highly recommend them!!”

About: I waitress, have taken care of seniors and am a certified yoga instructor. I have had cats, dogs, chicks, fish, hamsters. I currently do not own any pets. Pets to me are precious friends who are to be taken care of like children. With full attention, support and love. I work from home so I am able to provide that kind of care. I work from home (virtually) and can accommodate boarding weekdays and weekends. I keep a clean and tidy home and have a gorgeous park very close by. Pet care fits in my routine as I used to have a cat until recently. I care for pets with respect and integrity. Showing them love and care. Keeping them and the area around them clean. Accommodating to their needs by always keeping an eye for out for them.
About: I acknowledge that routine is important with pets and therefore will mold my style to fit your pets norm. (This includes your rules for your pet, anything you are training them to do, and any medication). Before taking care of your pet I make sure I fully understand their daily routine to make sure their schedule isn’t thrown off. I have experience administrating medicine to pets. I also have experience giving baths to pets as long as their grooming supplies are supplied. Also I have taken care of pets for around 3 years and am very flexible as I want to make it as easier on you as possible. I am a teacher so I have all day to spend with your pup during summer months. Also during the school year, I get off in the late afternoon on Weekdays so I can be there to take care of your pup by early evening. I respect my clients space and I am also happy to take care of any additional things around the house (watering plants, bringing in mail, etc.) if asked.
“A fantastic dog walker. Michelle is very conscientious and well organized. She always provides a complete report of the walk and makes sure that the house is all locked up and secure every time she leaves. We have nothing but great things to say about her and have no worries about trusting her with our beloved dog.”
About: I’ve taking care of dogs since I was a child, from my neighbors, friends and family. It was like a hobbie, but now I want to do it like a loving additional job. NOTE: the rate for day care is the whole day. My husband and I are a loving couple who adore pets! Although we both work, our schedules complement each other perfectly, ensuring our furry friend will have companionship most of the time. We're excited to welcome a new pet into our family and provide a stable, nurturing environment where they'll thrive and feel cherished." 💕☘️✨ I only receive one pet at the time, because I know they are very territorial and I like the exclusivity for them. We have plenty of energy to play with your pet and bunch of love to give. Our home is filled with love, attention, and playtime. We like to take them out not just to do their neccessities but to enjoy quality time, even more than twice a day, then your pet can drink filter water 🤗.

I have a large yard and a 2,500 sq ft home so your babies will have room!

About: Working in various Grooming/Training facilities. I'm currently working with Bumblebee Pet Care with 5 of my own clients. My conversations with the pets are amazing. I'm currently walking dogs 2 days out of the week looking for more to work with within the week. I have an open schedule and interested. I have separate spaces available for each animal. In my care at anytime, I will use provided equipment for transportation. Your pet safety is number one.
About: I work a registered nurse schedule, so I’m very used to being organized, dependable, and managing my time well. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I truly enjoy and find deeply grounding. Being around animals is good for the nervous system, and pet care feels like a meaningful, calming complement to my work in nursing. I value the chance to give pets attentive, compassionate care while also doing something that brings a sense of balance to my week. I only provide care for your pets in their own home, because they can be so sensitive to change and are usually happiest in their own environment. I aim to bring a calm, steady presence that helps your pets feel comfortable while keeping their routines as normal as possible. I’m experienced with animals who need extra support and am comfortable administering oral medications, inhaled medications like inhalers, and subcutaneous medications. I also really value all the little details pet parents know about their babies, whether it’s a favorite hiding spot, a specific feeding routine, or something that seems unusual to anyone else. Nothing is too weird, and I’m always happy to include those details in their care so they can feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
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.

I always use leash control, stay highly observant of their behavior, and make sure every walk is calm, comfortable, and secure. Whether we’re exploring a quiet trail or playing at a safe dog park, your dog’s well-being is my top priority. You can trust that your pup is in caring, capable, and experienced hands every step of the way.

“Irene has been such a great find in the Berkshires! She always gives helpful communication with each stay, and Ruby seems to love her time with Irene (and her sweet dog Goldie). Thanks for all of the care that you give to Ruby - we'll see you soon!”
“Kathleen was an excellent overnight sitter for our dog! She gave frequent updates with photos and made sure the pup was well fed, well exercised, and well taken care of. This was our first experience with Rover and we are very likely to use the service again (and Kathleen if we are back in the area).”
“My dog was well taken care of and didn't spend my vacation locked up in a kennel, so I didn't have to worry about her. Aura sent pictures and updates every day, and I was very happy with the whole situation.”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, and providing lots of love, attention, and companionship. I mostly work from home but when I’m not home, my fiancé (who will love your pets just as much as me) is! I am always available! I have a large yard and a 2,500 sq ft home so your babies will have room! I also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your pets company 😊 I have an extra room in my home for pets but if sleeping on my bed is more their style then that’s okay too!
“I was very comfortable leaving my dog with Deanne! My girl has a lot of energy and loves attention, and I was relieved to hear that this wasn't bothersome at all. I got routine updates throughout the week, and Deanne was very responsive to my messages. 10/10 would hire again.”
“Our dog, Otis's first weekend stay with John seemed to be a success!!! Otis was tired and happy after romping with other dogs also boarding. Otis will be coming back for a longer stay very soon!”
“Kelsey was terrific. She picked up our dog at the hotel right on time next morning Charlotte was delivered back to us again right on time. This one stop overnight on our way to vacation allowed us to attend a performance. We are very pleased with The River experience away from our home”
“I couldn’t be happier with the comfort and care Saskia provided to our Golden Retriever. Just on Day 2, the picture I got was our little boy flat on his back, paws up, sound asleep! He was so comfortable and happy, he did his usually chill yoga pose lol. I’m going to try and attach the picture I got. I would 100% request Saskia for pet care and will absolutely recommend her to all my friends and family. 10 stars if I could!”
“Chelsea offered her home to our pup, Sansa, and treated her like family while we traveled. She is an excellent communicator and sent plenty of updates and photos of our girl enjoying her visit. I highly recommend Chelsea for your dog boarding needs!”
“Our dog had a fabulous stay with Mahayla! Since it was our first time, Mahayla offered to come to our home to get to know our pup before caring for her the next day. They hit it off immediately and Mahayla explained her background in animal/dog behavior studies and reassured us that all would go well... and it did! Our pup had a blast trail hiking and also just relaxing at Mahayla's home. Mahayla clearly understands and loves dogs, and it was clear that she was focused on our dog's enjoyment, comfort level and care. She was also focused on our needs as the owners. Leading up to care day she was extremely responsive. On care day she sent photos and updates. A perfect stay...thanks, Mahayla!”
About: I love a challenge and a new four legged friend! Puppy biting, pulling on walks, endless energy? Let me know and we can come up with a good plan to meet your pups needs. I’m happy to hike with dogs, water activities, or other outdoor outings if it is what your pup needs to be their best at home. I also have a large fenced in yard to play fetch as opposed to a walk if that helps your dog get their energy out better! (6ft tall wood privacy) I learn quickly and care about how you want your pet care of above all else. I’ve owned, cared for, and fostered many animals across numerous ages and breeds. I have availability on weekends and after 4pm most weekdays. I am flexible and don’t mind last minute requests as my job allows for a good amount of flexibility I can adjust for a specific situation. I reinforce good behaviors or redirect bad behaviors with positive methods. I will not place any animal in an overly stressful environment and will meet them where they are at.
About: Dogs and I understand each other. I've always gotten them and they've always gotten me. Maybe because I grew up with three mammoth Samoyeds and Malamutes, and shared my life with Max, my sweet Cavalier, until he passed. Beyond love and care, I'm good at training and socializing, and dogs respond to my calm, confident leadership. I once cared for a reactive dog who barked at everyone who came near her, and I was the only one who could get her to settle and listen. After a month with a young Portuguese Water Dog, her owners told me she moped after I left. But mostly I think dogs feel good around me because they sense I genuinely care about them. I believe dogs are here to teach us to love and I want every dog to experience great care. For me, good dog care starts with getting to know the dog and the people who love them. I think dogs feel safest when their sitter truly knows them. Before any stay, I like to meet you and your dog, take a short walk together, and learn the little things that make your dog feel at home. That's why every stay begins with a meet and greet. What I offer that's different: - Pick-up and drop-off for longer stays: For stays of a week or more, I'll pick up and drop off your dog anywhere within a 30 minute drive of Dalton, including Lenox, Stockbridge, and Great Barrington. One less thing to manage before your trip. My home is calm and quiet, with a large, fully fenced backyard on a peaceful street in Dalton. I work from home, so your dog has company through the day, plus walks, play, and plenty of affection. I follow your instructions to the letter so your dog's routine stays as close to home as possible, and you'll get photos and a quick update every day so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Also happy to reinforce any training your dog is working on like leash manners. How I work: Every new client starts with a meet and greet, about 30 minutes with a short walk together, so your dog and I can meet before the stay. It helps make sure we're a great match, and your dog arrives already knowing a friendly face. Boarding in my home is a great fit if your dog: Settles comfortably for stretches after the initial sniffing and cuddles to get used to a new space. Is house-trained and walks well on a leash Is not a heavy shedder or super vocal Services Boarding: 2-night minimum House sitting: 2- night minimum, 2 night maximum for first sit I'd love to hear about your dog! I work from home so your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention from morning to evening. I usually walk dogs according to the schedule they are used to. In between, they can hang with me. IFeeding times will also coincide with your instructions. I'm an early riser so you are welcome to drop your dog off (with notice) as early as 7:30 am. I have a large three bedroom home with an huge fenced back yard on a quiet street near trails. It's single floor so no stairs for older dogs to contend with.
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Darcy was wonderful and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her family. Our dog was well cared for and came home happy. We will highly recommend Darcy to friends and family who also need dog sitting services. Thank you Darcy!”
