“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!”
“So glad we found Brooke!!! We had deferred family vacations out of driving distance for the past two years because we no longer had family nearby who could watch our pups. That has all changed now. Rover.com was recommended by a friend and truthfully I was a bit hesitant until I met Brooke. She responded so quickly to my messages when I was exploring sitters and as soon as the pups met her I knew this would be a great match. She treated our girls like family, letting them nap on the furniture (just like at home), taking them for walks and playing fetch. She sent us pictures each day of the dogs and it made us feel so much more at ease seeing they were being loved on. I can not say enough kind things about Brooke and her family and I highly recommend her. She went exceedingly above what was necessary and we will certainly be calling on her again!”
About: I’ve been on Rover for 5 years now! I have lots of experience with animals and my education background is in biology and animal sciences I am available pretty much whenever to do drop ins or walks for your pets!! Let me know what you need and I can accommodate :) I always make sure to follow the owners instructions and communicate with them! Communication is important when taking care of someone else’s animals! I make sure to send lots of pictures as well
“Ericca was quick to respond and helped us for doggy day care with 1 days notice. She was friendly and sent updates throughout the day on our dog. We’d love to use her again in the future!”
“Maritza did an awesome job taking care of Lola. She sent me frequent updates on how things were going while I was away that put me at ease. I would definitely use her again she’s highly recommended.”
“I highly recommend leaving your dog(s) here. He was great with the dogs, very flexible with his schedule and very accommodating. Great communication and he had a great place for the dogs to play outside.”
“Dobby had an amazing time! She came back so happy. She spent a lot of her time in the kiddie pool, playing with other dogs, chewing bones, and being her energetic, social self. So happy to have booked Nicole again!! Highly recommend!”
“I had an amazing experience with Caitlin and her family. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive they were with my dog. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet”
“Kate is a wonderful host. Our blue heeler mix is high energy and Kate really impressed us with care and attention she showed. Kate was very attentive and sent us pics and updates of our dog. I give her the best rating. A pleasure to work with.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We love leaving Atlas with Patty! She gives us tons of pictures and makes us feel so comfortable leaving our pup! He always loves staying with her and his dog buddies!”
“Both of our dogs were calm and relaxed after a 4-day stay. James was attentive to all of their needs and was very kind. His roomates were a bonus, because someone was almost always around to hang out with our dogs! Thanks James, we will be back!”
“We would not hesitate to use Jennifer again. She was very attentive and conscientious to our requests in caring for our senior dog, including medications. She was very loving and kind and made our dog feel very much at home. Jennifer was very communicative and responsive before and during Jessie’s stay. We appreciated knowing that all was well while we were away.”
“Tetiana and her lovely mother were LIFE SAVERS! Our holiday plans changed at the last minute and Tetiana responded so quickly to our request. Our two cats had a wonderful stay and we loved receiving the adorable photos. I wholeheartedly recommend Tetiana for anyone who wants a caring, loving experience for their pets. THANK YOU :)”
“We have used Sheronda two times within the last couple of months. We have nothing but praise for her and her family as well as the care she has given to our Elly. She was also understanding when we had a medical emergency on our most recent trip. We love how many updates and pictures we get. You won't get a better dog sitter anywhere. We look forward to using her service again.”

They will have free range of the house unless they are specifically crated then I can put them in the crate and take them out when needed.
“This was Fern’s second time staying over at Laura’s and she had the time of her life! She’s a shy dog with other pets but learned how to play with other dogs while she was there and Laura was nice enough to capture all the cute moments and share. I always miss Fern but know she’s in the best hands having a great time when Laura watches her :)”
“John was fantastic with our two pups. It was obvious he spent a lot of time with them and the daily photos were wonderful. We will definitely use John again should the need arise and we highly recommend him.”

“Iris was communicative, punctual, and kind. She followed all the instructions and we felt so secure knowing she was taking care of our cat. We would highly recommend her to take care of anyone’s pets.”
“Olivia is the best. She stopped by twice a day to feed and spend time with my cat. My cat absolutely loved her. Olivia went above and beyond by getting my mail and stopping by an extra time to change out a food bowl because my cat didn’t like that particular bowl. Cats…. 🙄 am I right? Thank you Olivia! I will definitely be contacting her in the future.”

About: Hello! I work primarily as a horticulturist, but would be thrilled to watch your pets. I have extensive experience with a wide range of animals, as I have pet-sat for many years, have had pets for my whole life, as well as studied animals in college with a focus on ornithology. My goals while pet sitting are to keep your pets and your home happy, healthy, clean, and safe. Morning and afternoon/evening drop ins are best for my schedule, but feel free to ask about other scheduling options. Morning & afternoon/evening drop offs work best for me during the week, as I work full time. However, I am happy to accommodate if I can! I will truly take care of your home and pets how I would want mine taken care of if I was away. I give updates every visit (if wanted of course), and am willing to take on more responsibility should something happen while you are away!
About: I have my own kitty who I pamper with wet and dry food everyday, yummy jerky treats and she’s spoiled with toys galore. I trim and file her nails since I have a sofa but she’s such a sweet girl she knows not to!! Love felines, really the amount of times I’ve walked into the local Home Depot and got sucked into hours of sitting on the floor to interact with them is, well, everytime I go in there. I really have no difficulty with cats and their varying personalities.
“I used Nicole to watch my cat, Chloe, who had just lost her litter mate of 8 years and this was going to be my first trip leaving her alone without her brother. Nicole did so well Chloe even though Chloe is super shy and skittish, she got her to come out !! I would definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting job!! She’s a super sweet human being ❤️!!”
About: I’ve had cats as pets, as well as taken care of them since i was little so they definitely have a special place in my heart! i have two right now, and one of them has severe allergies while the other has diabetes, so i’m no stranger to giving medicine!
“Liz took great care of our cat while we were away. She seems like a real cat person, and has one of her own at home, so she hit it off with our Tahini right away. She was on top of it with food, litter, and playtime. And she sent sweet updates along with pictures during each visit which really showed her attention to the animals she cares for. I would highly recommend Liz for any cat sitting needs!”
About: I'm a caring person and animal lover. I will take care of your family members as if they were mine. I'm very passionate and patient. I'm currently a flight attendant, so I can have a lot of time to enjoy the outdoors. I can arrange my schedule around to petsit I will adapt to the needs the pet requires. I also have a doggy park in my apartment complex and can be use if needed
“I could not have asked for a better house sitter and cat sitter! My cats were happy, relaxed and well cared for. I received regular updates and photos. I had complete peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

About: I bring a unique level of structure, energy, and reliability to pet care through my experience as a college coach. My daily work revolves around building routines, paying attention to small details, and making sure individuals are supported and performing at their best — and I carry that same approach into caring for dogs. I am highly dependable and organized, so you can trust that your dog’s schedule, feeding routine, and exercise needs will be handled consistently. I also bring an active lifestyle, which is great for dogs that need engaging walks, playtime, and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care and awareness I provide. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident while you are away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times My schedule is currently wide open following the end of the swim season, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels secure and cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their needs, keep a watchful eye during walks, and always make sure you are updated so you can relax knowing they are in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m Maura, a high school English teacher who has lived and worked in the Berkshires for 19 years. I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds, and my goal is simple: to provide safe, personalized care so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your pets. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, overnight pet care, and small farm sitting throughout the Berkshires. Whether you need someone to check on a new puppy, care for a senior pet, or manage a small farm while you’re away, I’d love to help. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, rats, large aquariums, horses, cows, goats, and pigs. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have experience managing an equine boarding facility with 19 horses on the property and am comfortable handling a variety of animal personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I am experienced with: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Oral medication administration • Basic trick training and potty training • High-energy dogs • Shy or anxious animals • Horses and livestock requiring daily care routines I also offer red light therapy sessions for pets, both small and large, upon request. Coming soon: private in-home boarding! I am currently creating a private pet guest house on my property that opens directly into a fully fenced backyard. My goal is to provide a low-stress alternative to traditional kennels by boarding only one pet family at a time. This allows your pets to receive individualized attention in a quiet, secure environment without the stress of sharing space with unfamiliar animals. If this is something you’d be interested in, feel free to reach out for details. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave beloved pets behind when traveling. That’s why I prioritize communication, reliability, and personalized care. I provide regular photo updates and am always happy to check in while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether you’re visiting the Berkshires for a weekend, heading out for a day of skiing or sightseeing, or leaving town for a longer trip, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about services, availability, or your pet’s specific needs. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! I’m always running errands for my pets, spending time with my pets, or I’m at the barn with my horse. Taking care of the needs of my own pets is one of my top priorities, and I can easily work your furry friend into my schedule! It’s important that we discuss your specific expectations and needs as a pet owner/parent to ensure that you get the best care! Every pet owner and pet is different and I want to tailor my approach to what your pet is used to and comfortable with.

“Irene was great with Sadie. Sadie loved playing with Goldie and loved the friendly and warm reception she got. Sadie was given both play and rest time and really looked really comfortable with Irene when I picked her up.”
“Yenifer and her family did an excellent job! PeeWee got lots of attention and he seemed so happy at the end of the day. We will definitely use Yenifer again on our next visit.”
“I’m so thankful I found Tetiana. I left my 5-month puppy for the first time with her and I could not be happier. She took care of her with love and so much warmth. I received many pictures thought the day. Thank you Tetiana!!!”
“Jess took great care of my pup and sent me lots of pics and updates throughout the day! She has a sweet dog, and her dog and mine played together all day. Uva came home fed, healthy and tired! Thank you Jess!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs for family and friends. I have been house and dog sitting regularly for the same family twice a year since 2007 and through word of mouth have picked up many more clients that would happily give a reference if requested. I feed fish and small pets and I'm happy to hang out with cats, spiders, and snakes too. I work full time for a very flexible boss, so getting home to let pets out on breaks and lunch isn't an issue. Once home for the day I tend not to leave so pets will be well cared for and I'll be very present for them. I don't trust letting any pet off leash while outside unless in a fenced in yard. I'm overprotective to a fault. I have sat on a kitchen floor for 45 minutes letting a dog bark at me while getting used to having me around.
“Sandra was outstanding! She was very flexible and was great about communicating. Her sweet dog was very good with my skittish dog Minnie who didn’t bark once when meeting her ( she usually gets scared and barks when first meeting) Sandra gave me photos and info about her day and was very flexible about changing pick up time. She has a beautiful home and lots of area for walking and exploring that I’m sure was fun for the dogs. I highly recommend Sandra!!!”
“Devin was super cool and caring. He made me very comfortable by taking care of my 14 month old high energy German Shepherd. He was always available for a call or text and kept me informed about my pups activities during the day care. Will definitely use again, he has the love towards pets, also has a great fenced yard and good facilities to get the energy out from the pups. I am happy and pleased to have used his services.”
“Sean was super easy to book and work with. Very responsive and easy drop off/pick up. He kept me updated throughout the day on how Beau was doing and sent pictures/videos of what a great time they were having. Would recommend for sure!”

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!
About: I’ve taken care of dog of many sizes and health conditions, I have had a cat for 9ish years and have cared for friend and families dogs for years. I am a student, I am relatively free but lots of work to do! I like to go on walks already! I am able to be flexible. I know how to feed animals and care for them, can follow special instructions as I know they are important. As much as I would love to care for your fur baby at my home, I cannot.
About: I've taken care of animals all shapes and sizes since I can remember. Growing up my only job was to make sure my fur babies were fed and loved unconditionally. I would go to a friend of the family and help her with her pit bull and (several) greyhounds. I've worked at kennels from a young age and have had my own share of birds, mice, fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and chinchillas as well as dogs and cats. The home has only been without pets for around 7 months now and I would love to dedicate some of my time to people who need genuine love and care for their fur babies! I do not have a job, I am around all of the time! I can be there any time day or night! You name it. I do not have a fenced in yard, however all of the neighborhood doggies are very very friendly. I have a decent sized yard and live next to multiple fields and grassy areas.
About: My name is Julia and I would love to care for your pets! There was never a time in my life where I wasn't surrounded by animals. I grew up with 2 dogs (Gatsby and Baby) and I currently have two cats (Snicky and Tango) who live with my mom. I frequently care for my grandmother's pets (1 dog and 3 cats) as well. I also have experience with house and babysitting! I know how difficult it may be to leave your pets with someone unfamiliar, but I will do my very best to make you and your pets as comfortable as possible! I would be more than happy to send pictures/videos of your pets to show you how well they're doing! I look forward to hanging out with your pets! I will be available from now (July 23rd) to the end of summer (August 28th). This is my only commitment so I have an incredibly flexible schedule! I do not offer boarding at my home, but I will do whatever I possibly can to ensure that your loved one(s) 😸🐶 are as comfortable as possible in their homes/neighborhoods! I am an incredibly cautious and thorough person. Your pets will get nothing but my undivided attention.

About: 5 years ago my family had gotten a puppy (jack Russell, beagle, terroir, Pitt bull mix). My puppy is a big baby, and is scared of everything. From flies to the wind. But he also can be a bit mean and over protective about his belongings. I was able to find ways around him being overly protective about his things. I was the main person to get up early to take him out in the mornings, throughout the day, and at night. We then a year later got his sister from a different litter from the same mom and dad. She is the complete opposite. She is a loving dog. She always wants to cuddle and loves to play and have all the attention to her. Since I was little I’ve always loved dogs. I love playing with them and walking with them. I’m a full time nanny but have a lot of free time on my hands while the kids are at school and their activities. I’m looking for some occasional work and maybe part time opportunities. I would always make sure the pet has food and water. Make sure the environment around them is safe. And make sure to attend their needs in any way that is needed.
About: I’ve interned at my local vet clinic for two years now and have recently moved to a paid position as an assistant! through this internship i have not only learned substantial knowledge regarding pet care, such as how to most effectively administer medications, but also discovered my love for pet sitting, as i have become one of the veterinarian’s permanent pet sitter! i also plan to go to vet school after i earn my bachelors degree! i am currently enrolled in college, as well as working various part time jobs so my availability is limited at the moment, but i will try my best to arrange my schedule best for yours ( and your furry friend’s) needs! i’ll treat your furry family like my own! i come with treats ready (with permission of course) and never leave without a game of fetch or whatever else your babies might enjoy! they’ll definitely be the highlight of my day, so i’ll try to be there’s too!
About: I'm the person my friends and family call upon to take care of their pets when they go on vacation, or even in an emergency. I think this is because I grew up on a small farm and have loved animals since I was a little girl. I can house sit, take your pet for a walk (even your cat, mine is leash trained and loves it), feed your fur family member, or let them out to relieve themselves. The more information you can tell me about your pet the better, I want to take the best care for them! I'm flexible. Contact me and let me know your expectations and I'll do my best to meet them. I have a reliable vehicle as well. Building a relationship is key between you as well as your pet and me. Let's talk about how I can best care for your fur friend and then I can let you know how I can meet their care needs. I think play is essential (as long as your pet is able to) and I think spending time with them is key while you are away. I'll be sure to send you pictures too!
“Danielle is the best dogwalker I've ever had. She's very attentive and knows each dogs special needs. They love her and go crazy when they hear her car in the driveway. I couldn't be happier!”
About: Hello! My name is Skylar; I am 26 years old, my family has owned dogs my whole life, I own a dog and two cats! I currently work at a daytrain facility for dogs and am on my way to eventually becoming a dog trainer! I always provide the upmost care for animals. As an animal lover, I’m here to ensure that your family members stay happy and safe while you’re away! I currently work full time at a daytrain facility for dogs, typically in the afternoons - So I am available mostly in the mornings and evenings ( after 6 pm)! **FOR HOUSE SITTING REQUESTS BOOKED LESS THAN 7 DAYS IN ADVANCE** -> I do charge an expedited service fee of $20 a night on top of normal house sitting fee! I am able to provide walks if needed (or if there is no fenced in yard), as well as special diets and medications as needed! I do prefer using my own slip lead for safety reasons in the event there is no fenced in yard, however I am flexible with this!
About: I have pet/house sat multiple times over the past several years for friends and family, from small critters like guinea pigs and ferrets, cats, and even large dog breeds. I also have 2 years experience volunteering for a local shelter in socialization and vet transport, 3 years experience working for a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and I currently work part time for another local animal shelter. I am an experienced owner of dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, guinea pigs, and gerbils. I currently work part time so I have lots of time to play with your pup, and hopefully can build savings towards a larger space to meet more people's needs! I am always looking to learn, grow, and provide better care for animals. Animal welfare is very important to me. At this point in time, due to the space I'm only able to accommodate smaller breeds that generally can get along with others. I do have a small fenced in yard, but I also have the bike trail and nearby hiking trails readily available, your dog will need to be on leash at all times when outside on walks/hikes, I do not provide "off-leash" trail experience as a safety precaution, thank you for your understanding! I am happy to provide pictures and updates of your pup whenever requested, please never be afraid to reach out!

My current pack have free range of our yard and are run 4 times a week weather permitting. I own a van for easy transport to and from parks.

About: Loving animals runs in my family! My mother is an animal rescue volunteer and growing up we owned 6 cats and one dog. There were always strays and foster pets going in and out of our home. I absolutely love animals and understand them very well. I know how to take care of them and love them the way they want to receive love. I recently quit my job for my well being and I’m taking a break so I’d love to fill my time hanging out with animals! I am leaving my job as a hair stylist to pursue my true passions in art and healing. I will have a completely open schedule in a week and I’d love to fill it with another passion of mine, Animals :D I have a nice sized apartment and am a 1 minute walk to a large dog friendly park! I have a car so I can go whenever I am needed. I listen to animals and what they need to assure they are always safe and well taken care of. I consider myself a very reliable person.
About: I bring a unique level of structure, energy, and reliability to pet care through my experience as a college coach. My daily work revolves around building routines, paying attention to small details, and making sure individuals are supported and performing at their best — and I carry that same approach into caring for dogs. I am highly dependable and organized, so you can trust that your dog’s schedule, feeding routine, and exercise needs will be handled consistently. I also bring an active lifestyle, which is great for dogs that need engaging walks, playtime, and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care and awareness I provide. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident while you are away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times My schedule is currently wide open following the end of the swim season, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels secure and cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their needs, keep a watchful eye during walks, and always make sure you are updated so you can relax knowing they are in good hands.
About: I am a working professional with 12+ years in both personal and professional animal care. I love animals so am pet sitting as a side job to my remote day job in medical writing. Personally, I have cared for my own and others’ dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. I currently have 2 cats named Callie and Disco. Professionally, I have cared for horses, small & large reptiles, small exotic mammals, primates, and rodents in zoo, farm, and lab environments. I am comfortable with any size of dog or cat and have experience providing medications and injections to a variety of animals. I can do drop ins, walks, and overnight sitting, and am most available in the early morning and late evenings on weekdays and most weekends, as well as weekdays during lunch break. I am located in Stamford, VT and can travel within about a half hour radius of that. I also have experience jogging with more active dogs, including very large ones, and am happy to do that as well if that’s something your dog enjoys. I look forward to meeting and caring for your dog, cat, or other pet! My schedule varies but is usually flexible. I just need some advance notice to plan ahead for your pet. A week or more is ideal. I will always keep your pet safe in my home or yours. Please be aware I have 2 cats who will be in my home if the service you are requesting is at my home.
About: Hi! I’m Maura, a high school English teacher who has lived and worked in the Berkshires for 19 years. I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds, and my goal is simple: to provide safe, personalized care so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your pets. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, overnight pet care, and small farm sitting throughout the Berkshires. Whether you need someone to check on a new puppy, care for a senior pet, or manage a small farm while you’re away, I’d love to help. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, rats, large aquariums, horses, cows, goats, and pigs. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have experience managing an equine boarding facility with 19 horses on the property and am comfortable handling a variety of animal personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I am experienced with: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Oral medication administration • Basic trick training and potty training • High-energy dogs • Shy or anxious animals • Horses and livestock requiring daily care routines I also offer red light therapy sessions for pets, both small and large, upon request. Coming soon: private in-home boarding! I am currently creating a private pet guest house on my property that opens directly into a fully fenced backyard. My goal is to provide a low-stress alternative to traditional kennels by boarding only one pet family at a time. This allows your pets to receive individualized attention in a quiet, secure environment without the stress of sharing space with unfamiliar animals. If this is something you’d be interested in, feel free to reach out for details. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave beloved pets behind when traveling. That’s why I prioritize communication, reliability, and personalized care. I provide regular photo updates and am always happy to check in while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether you’re visiting the Berkshires for a weekend, heading out for a day of skiing or sightseeing, or leaving town for a longer trip, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about services, availability, or your pet’s specific needs. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! I’m always running errands for my pets, spending time with my pets, or I’m at the barn with my horse. Taking care of the needs of my own pets is one of my top priorities, and I can easily work your furry friend into my schedule! It’s important that we discuss your specific expectations and needs as a pet owner/parent to ensure that you get the best care! Every pet owner and pet is different and I want to tailor my approach to what your pet is used to and comfortable with.

“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!”
“Ericca was quick to respond and helped us for doggy day care with 1 days notice. She was friendly and sent updates throughout the day on our dog. We’d love to use her again in the future!”
“I highly recommend leaving your dog(s) here. He was great with the dogs, very flexible with his schedule and very accommodating. Great communication and he had a great place for the dogs to play outside.”
“Dobby had an amazing time! She came back so happy. She spent a lot of her time in the kiddie pool, playing with other dogs, chewing bones, and being her energetic, social self. So happy to have booked Nicole again!! Highly recommend!”
“I had an amazing experience with Caitlin and her family. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive they were with my dog. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet”
“Kate is a wonderful host. Our blue heeler mix is high energy and Kate really impressed us with care and attention she showed. Kate was very attentive and sent us pics and updates of our dog. I give her the best rating. A pleasure to work with.”
“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!”
“Both of our dogs were calm and relaxed after a 4-day stay. James was attentive to all of their needs and was very kind. His roomates were a bonus, because someone was almost always around to hang out with our dogs! Thanks James, we will be back!”
“Tetiana and her lovely mother were LIFE SAVERS! Our holiday plans changed at the last minute and Tetiana responded so quickly to our request. Our two cats had a wonderful stay and we loved receiving the adorable photos. I wholeheartedly recommend Tetiana for anyone who wants a caring, loving experience for their pets. THANK YOU :)”
“We have used Sheronda two times within the last couple of months. We have nothing but praise for her and her family as well as the care she has given to our Elly. She was also understanding when we had a medical emergency on our most recent trip. We love how many updates and pictures we get. You won't get a better dog sitter anywhere. We look forward to using her service again.”
“This was Fern’s second time staying over at Laura’s and she had the time of her life! She’s a shy dog with other pets but learned how to play with other dogs while she was there and Laura was nice enough to capture all the cute moments and share. I always miss Fern but know she’s in the best hands having a great time when Laura watches her :)”
“John was fantastic with our two pups. It was obvious he spent a lot of time with them and the daily photos were wonderful. We will definitely use John again should the need arise and we highly recommend him.”
“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 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.
“Cooper loved his stay with Robin & John!!!! Them, their house, and their dogs are all great! And I appreciate that they could accommodate a meet and greet quickly and take Cooper on such short notice.”
About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!
