“Harvey had another amazing stay with Kristin! He had the time of his life going on hikes, learning to swim, and playing with Kaia and the other dogs under Kristin’s care during his time there. Kristin was in constant communication with us, sending us updates and pictures daily. We can’t thank Kristin and Mark enough for making Harvey feel like part of the family while we were away for 8 nights.”

Hoping as she gets more accustomed to her new home, she’ll be able to stay home ithiut the crate but not yet.”

About: Hi! I’m Mia, a full-time professional pet care provider with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Before providing pet care full-time, I spent five years working in a professional dog daycare and boarding facility, including as an Assistant Manager. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, high energy dogs, shy or nervous pets, and multi pet households. I prioritize safe, reliable, individualized care and treat every pet like one of my own. You can always expect plenty of photos and updates while your pet is in my care! Pet care is my full time job! I currently offer dog walks, drop in visits, and selective overnight care throughout the week. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention while making sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
“Alissa is a responsive and lovely sitter! Booked her last minute for a weekend trip and she was prompt in accepting the request and responding to any questions or updates I requested. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Kaylee has just finished a week of visits to take care of my two cats. This is her second stint for me. Very happy at the attention to detail. She even left food for the squirrels! (if I forget they find the bag themselves!) Thank you Kaylee above and beyond.”
“Eryn was a great sitter for our kitties! She stayed overnight and made our kitties feel very comfortable. She was punctual and communicative. We will for sure be using her again! Thanks Eryn :)”
“Ace was wonderful with our kitty. Attentive, caring, and communicated a lot along the way. Didn’t shy away from having to give him insulin. I would absolutely use them again for cat sitting!”
“Amber was great! We had an unusual request (help us medicate our cats, it takes 2 people) and she jumped right in. Without her our kitties would have missed days of necessary medications.”
About: I am a veterinary technician, but was caring for cats long before that came to be. Many relatives and friends have relied on me over the years to care for their kitties. I am very reliable, and I am perfectly comfortable giving medications as well as routine care such as feeding, play, and cleaning. I personally have 2 cats at home, and care for my neighbor's 8 cats regularly. It is also good to know that I now have the veterinary knowledge to back up my observational knowledge.

I follow any special feeding, medication (injections included), or care instructions to the letter, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! Check out my reviews for more details.
“Thank you Forough and Amir! We were nervous at first how Russell would do and how he would get along with other dogs, so we were so relieved to hear that he fit right in! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Forough and Amir again and look forward to scheduling another visit!”
“Okay, I am sorry. Cannot find another way to leave message on Rover. FYI, there is no "3-dotted icon in the upper right corner of the upcoming tab so that I can modify a booking." As Novelette & I discussed this week, I will not need daycare on August 10, 13, 24,27, and 31, or September 3. This is a combination of her and my vacation weeks and will be a rare exception to our regular Monday & Thursday schedule. Thank you for your attention, and here is my review: "Bruce loves visiting Novelette and is making a great adjustment there. She is very warm, nurturing, and responsive to his needs. We could not be happier with how things are going so far. Thank you!"”
“I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She watched my 9 week old puppy and provided me with updates. Karen was also flexible. I had to change my drop-off and pick-up time during one of the days that she watched my puppy; and Karen made it work for me. I's super thankful.”
“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was in need of last second care, she went out of her way to send me updates and photos throughout the day which I greatly appreciated as well as picking up and dropping off my baby. She’s a saint!”
“Amazing experience! Paul was awesome with communicating and sending regular updates/pictures! She was very well taken care of while she stayed with him and his family in their home. You can tell Paul is an experienced dog professional and I felt at ease my entire vacation! He pooped my 3.5 year old girl out! When I picked her up she was excited to see me but when we got home she laid on the couch and started to snore!! Her days were filled with adventures! I wholeheartedly recommend Paul. Your dog will be in good hands :)”
“James was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. He was able to handle my puppy with other dogs well. Great socializing for Charolette! He sent pictures and videos all day very nice! Overall Great experience! I highly recommend him. 😊”
“We have loved working with Tricia! Very flexible, understanding, and affordable. She went the extra mile for our senior dog. Can’t wait to book the next visit for our dog!”
“Hannah was great, she kept me updated and sent me photos/ videos to show me how much fun my puppy had. It was nice to see Reese with his new dog friends Wolf and Connie 😊 She has a very large backyard with so much room to run and play. I will definitely be bringing Reese back again.”
About: As an avid dog lover, I have walked, played with, and enjoyed providing caring company for pets since the age of nine when I started my own neighborhood dog sitting service. Through experience and exposure as I aged, I became experienced in both dog training and agility. I am familiar and comfortable in my ability to care for a multitude of dog breeds, as well as varying personalities and temperaments. The fur love of my life, my late dog Kai, was trained as a therapy dog through Bright Spot Therapy Dogs, and for years we volunteered together to bring joy and comfort to patients at local hospitals and nursing homes. As a stay at home mother who is just getting back into the working world, I am able to devote my time, affection, and energy in order to provide the highest level of care to your fur baby. As a safety conscious, type A personality individual, I will innately put the safety and well being of your pet first above all else. I will be happy to adhere to any guidelines that you put in place to keep your pup happy and healthy, and will openly address any medical or safety concerns that arise while in my care. I live on a dead-end, quiet street with lots of places to walk locally both off leash and on, depending upon your dog's needs and your preferences. I am happy to bring your dog to their favorite socialization spot, dog park, or familiar walking space. Since each dog is unique and special in their own way, I welcome any tidbits about their personality and preferences, and I will customize a daily plan for them.
“Thank you so much for your understanding and care. She had such a great time and slept all the way home. Wish you lived closer because I know Mei would love to visit again. She is so shy and you really became friends fast. You are the best!”
About: I’m so excited to meet you and your furry friend! As a dedicated pet sitter, my goal is to make sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playful fetch sessions, or just cozy cuddle time, I’ll treat your pup as if they were my own. Every tail wag, happy bark, and joyful moment matters to me, and I can’t wait to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. Let’s make their time with me an experience full of fun and love! I board/walk on a FT basis, I have 12yrs of experience and I would love the chance to sit your pup when needed. Can’t wait to meet you. I treat each and every pet like their my own. I’m very passionate about my love for dogs and I’ve have many since a kid.
“Still the best dog sitter in Western Mass! Even though I’m moving out of the county, I’ll probably still drive to Indian Orchard to drop the dogs off . . . because Jessiana is the best dog sitter in Western Mass.”
“Sylvia is an amazing dog sitter! I used her services for two days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She and her family are incredibly kind, welcoming, and caring. They treated Luna like she was part of the family, and it truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. The best part? Luna had so much fun that she didn't even want to come home! 🥹🐾❤️ I highly recommend Sylvia to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I'll care for your pet like it's my own, and will provide ample ear scritches and snuggles as needed while they miss you during your time away. Our dogs share the couch and family spaces with us, but are crate trained as well. We go for walks daily and have playtime in the yard every 2-3 hours during the day if the weather is appropriate. We have two dogs, and an elderly cat that keeps to himself. Our yard is about an acre on a quiet dead end road and we have an electric fence for our pups, but can of course use leashes and leads as well!
“Great Experience!!! We were nervous about leaving our little 4 1/2 month old puppy first time ever but Katelyn put us at ease instantly. She was very kind and accommodating and her love of animals was apparent. Thank you Katelyn!!”
“I’m so thankful to have met Kristin and her fur baby. Kristin was so welcoming, kind and loving toward Mooch, and it was an immediate sense of relief to know he would get the same love and attention he gets at home. Thank you for a wonderful day!!”

About: Big or small, I love them all! I have expertise caring for senior, special needs, and high anxiety dogs. Need a pet care professional that focuses on your dogs needs? I'm here for you. Throughout my life, I've always had at least one dog, and I currently share my home with a wonderful pack of seven. Because I know how important a pet’s routine and comfort are, I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, ensuring your dog gets my absolute, undivided attention in their own familiar neighborhood. I take pride in delivering the highest level of care and always put a dog's well-being first. My professional background includes working at a dog daycare as a behavioral coordinator, where I specialized in safely handling dogs with challenging or reactive behaviors. I'm also the go-to guy for most of my friends and family when they need a reliable pet sitter. Ensuring proper enrichment and care throughout the day for even the most energetic of dogs is my goal. I also partner with local rescues and sanctuaries to foster dogs, focusing heavily on senior and medically disabled pets. One of my dogs is actually paralyzed and another one was born with only 2 legs and they are some of the most fun dogs I've ever had. My specialized, hands-on skills include: Expressing paralyzed dogs Administering insulin injections Managing difficult, timid, or leash-reactive behaviors Animal CPR and First Aid (Certified since 2019) If your dog has special needs, lets chat! While my main focus is dogs, I also have extensive experience with guinea pigs, rats, mice, and lizards. I also love bugs, so if you have some wild exotics I'm happy to help with them as well! Whether your pet needs a slow and patient approach on their daily walk, specialized medical attention during a midday drop-in, or just a lot of love while you are at work, they are in safe, experienced hands with me. I have a flexible work schedule and can do drop-in visits or walks throughout the day. Most evenings I am also available past 4pm until about 10pm. I love playing around with dogs if that's what they need, but I also don't mind just hanging out with a senior dog while they relax and wonder the yard. I try to cater to the specific dog or dogs in my care. I have experience working at a dog daycare and ensuring dogs days safe, fun, and are full of enrichment are my top priorities. I take a caring approach to making sure dogs are comfortable. I do what I can to read behavioral cues and try my best to approach each dog based on their own boundaries. If you're looking for walks, or just a drop in, I'll make sure your dog has the fun they deserve.

“Starting a regular cadence of visits with Katie was the best decision we’ve ever made for our dog! She is super reliable, flexible when schedules or weather force changes and provides the absolute best care and communication. I think our dog likes her better than us! I never worry about a single thing - she is so thoughtful and thinks of everything he might need. We really really appreciate her. She deserves all the stars, I’d recommend her to anyone.”
About: I love dogs and have a walked them for relatives in the past. Because I have a bunny in my home, I can't have a dog. So your pet will get all my FOMO love! Cats also hold a special place in my heart. I have experience playing with my mother-in-law's two cats. I am English/Spanish bilingual, which may be helpful caring for bilingual pets! I'm currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the love they need! I love going outside and would love to help your pet get rid of cabin fever! I would be free during the day for check-ins and some walks! I can spend some quality time chilling with your pet or taking a walk! I can take care of your dog or in your home, following instructions you may leave. I can also walk whatever route you usually take with your dog around the neighborhood. I love to play, so your pet will have a fun time in my care!
About: Hello! My name is Lisa and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! My own furry friends currently include 3 dogs, a goat, and a parakeet! I am a MPS Animal Science graduate from Cornell University who has an array of experiences with animals both large and small! I am confident in my ability to administer subcutaneous/intramuscular injections, administer oral medications, perform nail trims, etc. Please do not hesitate to reach out regarding care for your pet(s), as I am always looking forward to working with and meeting new clients and fur babies! Pet care is implemented into my everyday life! At my Monday through Friday full-time job, I am a laboratory technician who works with and is a caretaker for New Zealand White Rabbits. At home, I am a mom to a variety of animals both large and small! All pets are allowed on furniture and able to roam freely as they please! There is a plethora of toys to choose from to keep your pets busy and occupied. I have a small yard to allow for some outdoor play and potty time.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. I am used to recognizing and responding to their needs and treating them with the utmost care and affection. I have experience with walking my own dogs, one of which was a large dog and the other is small, so I know what to expect when walking a dog of any size. I also know to be very vigilant while on dog walks and to be cautious of other dogs, when I take my own dogs on walks I avoid any interaction between them and other dogs we may see on our route because you just never know the temperament of another persons dog. I am a college student currently on summer break so my schedule is very open, which means I have ample time to help your pups get their steps in! I am available Monday-Friday from 11am- 3pm to take your furry friends on walks. I will care for your fur baby like my own during our walks. I am extremely attentive and will keep your pup from eating random things on the ground, keep them away from cars and anything else that could pose as danger.
“Erin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Earl. Since she has been walking him he’s more calm when I get home and behaves better for me on our walks. I would highly recommend her. Very friendly responsive and amazing with my pup!”
About: I have worked in pet grooming salons as well as daycare and boarding! I have also owned my own pets from birds to dogs to snakes! I believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, respect, and kindness I currently work as a dog groomer at a doggie daycare/boarding facility! I work five days a week, primarily mothers hours. I am usually available after 3PM or before 7:30AM! In my home there is a spare air conditioned bedroom for pets that need their own separate space, otherwise any pets will be allowed to coexist in my home with my own two medium sized dogs. I love to hike, go on walks, play, and cuddle on the couch! I believe all animals deserve to be loved, and yours will be treated as my own when in my care - weather for a sleepover or just a walk!
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I was a dog washer for a year and have a love for all animals. I've grown up with all sorts of animals, mostly dogs. My children love animals as well and we will be hands on when caring for anyone's dog. I'm a stay at home mother with lots of energy and time to devote to caring for your dog. I am confident that any dog will be comfortable and happy staying with our family no matter the duration of their stay. I will adhere to every guideline and preference that don't overlap my standards and I'll be flexible to accommodate your dog. I look forward to helping you and your dog.
About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 16 years. I have my Master Trainers certificate for police and military k9s and I love all animals. I am currently working part-time as a surgical veterinary technician and shift lead. I have a very flexible schedule and open availability. I do not have many limitations when it comes to my schedule. I currently live in a nice and clean apartment complex. The complex has two large open grassy areas, and it is fenced in. I am accustomed to leash walking, gentle leader training, pinch collar training and harness training. I live close by to multiple dog parks, trails and my current place of employment. I have a very sweet and loving spayed female Vizsla who is now 8 years old. She is extremely dog friendly and plays wonderfully with others. I also have a spayed female 10 month mixed breed named Ginny, who is also very sweet, playful and friendly. If you are interested in overnight pet care at my home I do have two cats, both are great with dogs and also very friendly. I also have the ability to crate train overnight if needed. In addition I offer obedience training services.
“Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!”
About: My dog passed away at age 18 and my family decided that we are not going to get another one. Being able to care for other people's dogs will be a joy. I am not good about updating my calendar. Reach out if you need care for your pet and if I am available, I will be happy to help! I am currently semi-retired and working part-time with a lot of flexibility in days and hours. Dog walking or pop in care will work for me. I won't be able to do any frequent regular visits as my schedule changes weekly. I am used to walking dogs and having dogs that are crate trained. Whatever your routine is, I can help to be consistent in training and care.
About: Growing up I have always had dogs and cats, currently I have two cats of my own! I love animals and always treat them with the best care possible! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I can be available in the morning, afternoon, or night! I have two very friendly cats who welcome all animals into our home when friends visit. I live in an apartment with a less traveled road which is great for walks!
About: I have owned and helped take care of pets since I was a child and have worked in the veterinary field for 5 years. I am proficient at giving oral and injectable medications. I am a born animal lover and will treat your pet as if they were my own. I do work full time, so would mostly be available weekends but can be flexible depending on the situation. My job provides me with skills that would be helpful in caring for older animals and animals with health conditions. Comfortable with both dogs and cats. I have 2 dogs of my own who are always happy to have playmates, but I also have ample space and can keep them separate if needed. Willing to come to your place or have your fur babies come to mine.
About: I have been thoroughly enamored by dogs most of my life, ever since my family got our first black Lab. I have experience working with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I currently have a 1-year-old puppy and 2 cats at home, all of whom are front-and-center in my life. I am also a veterinary technician (nurse), so I am very comfortable giving medication and caring for pets who may be unwell. I can also perform basic veterinary first aid, though I do not know CPR. I am extremely dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I love working with them and discovering their unique personalities and quirks. I look forward to getting to know your dog! I am currently a full time vet tech, but am available all day on Sunday and Monday, and also afternoons (after 2 pm) on Wednesday and Saturday. I have one very friendly large-breed dog, who is generally pretty chill around other dogs, but will sometimes play. In your home, I would respect any boundaries you set and maintain common courtesy. I also strive to leave everything as I found it.
