She clearly loves dogs and is proficient and skilled in all aspects of their care We had total peace of mind while we were away and she sent us some beautiful pictures of Buddy!”

“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.”

“I can’t say enough about how well Sadie was cared for Kristina is certainly a dog-person. She read all the signs that Sadie was giving her to play, train go for a walk and chill. She followed all our directions and cared for Sadie as if she was her own dog. We received a lot of communication in the form of photos and videos. I would highly and without hesitation recommend Kristina to care for your dog too.”
“I’ve used Karine twice now with my golden retriever Thor, and am finally comfortable leaving him with someone else. It’s clear she cares about Thor and takes excellent care of him. He has a blast with her, which is evident in all the pictures she shares and his mood upon pickup. This is truly a home away from home for Thor, and he’ll be back for sure.”
“We couldn’t have asked for our doggie to be more loved and cared for. We just moved from California and were nervous about leaving our pup for the first time since the big move, but Katelyn and her family were absolutely wonderful. They sent photos to keep us posted and he looked perfectly comfy and at home in each. We are so grateful to have found Katelyn and would recommend her to others without hesitation. Our dog came back to us as though he had been on a retreat! Calm, happy, and himself.”
“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!”
“I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with Katie! She did a great job reassuring me that my dog would do fine and she would text me if there were any issues. She also sent me a picture throughout the day. I would definitely go to her again.”
“Tito had the best time staying with Khanh & Tommy! I received regular updates and pictures and he looked so happy being there. It made being away from him so much easier knowing he was being well taken care of and happy. Thank you!”
“Absulotely the best experience ever! We were in a bit of a bind having found our dream rescue dog, but also had a wedding a week away. Maria came to the rescue and was able to accomodate our last minute needs and was flexible about dropping him off and picking up. She clearly loves what she does and we know Scooby got pampered! Loved the updates too! Super responsive! Scooby can’t wait to go back next time we are in need of a boarder!”
“Butter had such a nice stay! Nicole sent so many pictures of him throughout his stay and he got so much socializing time with other puppy friends! He looked like he had such a fun time and seemed well taken care of! I loved receiving updates and pictures all throughout the day to see what he’s up to and what he’s doing! I definitely will rebook again!”

About: I have been watching animals since I was 12 years old. Taking the neighbors pets for a walk, feeding them, or just checking in on them. I also have my Animal Control License and have been an ACO for 2 years now. I love it. I have a passion for animals and will do anything to make sure your fur babies are well kept and safe. I do work full time during the day M-F so midday check-ins are a little hard but morning and nighttime services are always easy for me to accomplish! I typically watch the animals in their own home just so they can stay within their routine. I never want to make the owner or animal feel uncomfortable ever.
“Clara did a wonderful job with my cat, Jake. She was communicative with me, sending pictures and updates. She took the time to brush him and give him special treats. He seemed very content and happy! I would absolutely book Clara again. Any pet and pet parent is lucky to have her providing excellent care!”
“Makayla is so sweet with our dog - making sure he's having fun and getting all his needs met. She is timely and an excellent communicator which gives us great peace of mind. We highly recommend her!”
About: 🐾 Whether your family includes playful pups, curious cats, chatty birds, colorful fish, happy chickens, friendly goats, tiny hamsters, busy gerbils, or any other beloved pets, I care for them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I know there's no substitute for you, but while you're away, I will make sure your furry, feathered, and four-legged friends receive plenty of care, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. And because caring for a home goes hand in hand with caring for pets, I am also happy to help with everyday household tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, managing trash and recycling, hanging pictures, and tackling small repairs. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and complete peace of mind for you. 🐾❤️🏡

“I left Leona in charge of Romeo and my apartment while in Boston for major surgery. Leona was very responsible and took just as good of care of Romeo as well as my plants and living space as I would have. She provided peace of mind which I’m grateful for. Romeo looks forward to seeing her again!”
“Wow! We’ve had several sitters over the years and Katie was BY FAR the best sitter ever! We booked the house sitting option and Katie was able to let our kitties out for even longer than expected. She went above and beyond. She let us know when food was running low and even offered to go get it!! Constantly sent us awesome photos and really seemed to bond with our furry babies.”
About: I have a strong understanding of feline nutrition and know how important it is to keep cats mentally stimulated and comfortable in their space. I’ve also supported a mama cat through pregnancy, delivery, and raising her kittens. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. 🤍
About: I have been walking and caring for my own personal animals - 2 dogs, cat, bird, hamsters since I was 5 years old. I also have been dog sitting and walking for numerous neighbors and friends in the area. I work during the day a full-time job. I am available early in the morning and after 4:00pm during the week. I am available on the weekends anytime of the day. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Brittany Spaniel, Maggie loves to run around and play ball. It is completely fenced in so she can't get out. I love to be outside playing with my dog and bring her on 3+ walks a day around town and at the local park.
“Sofia and her husband Arsen did a wonderful job looking after my 5 cats. One of them is a very high maintenance rescued Himalayan. His coat looked better than it did when I left and his eyes were well cleaned. The other four were happy and well fed.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with Labs, so I’m very familiar with big personalities, lots of energy, long walks, playtime, and plenty of slobbery love. 🐾 I also adopted a cat, which taught me that sometimes the best way to win a pet over is to let them come to you (and maybe offer a few treats!). Although my own pets have since passed, they gave me years of experience, amazing memories, and a genuine love for caring for animals. I’m patient, playful, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure outside, a game of fetch, or just some extra love and company, I’m happy to be their new buddy while you’re away! ❤️ I currently own my own business and make my own hours and work from home, so I can easily make my own schedule fit around any pet care! I'm lucky to have an open, comfortable and clean home where I can walk animals on the many acres I live on. I can also crate animals if that's how they are trained. When in other people's homes, I'm incredibly conscious of being considerate, following directions to respect their space, and understanding how the animal uses and loves the space.
About: I own 3 cats and have never lived in a household without them. Cats are one of my favorite things about life. They are each as unique from each other as humans are, and I love this about them. Aside from my own, I have cared for cats of family and friends over the years. I honor and respect the uniqueness of every feline. Each cat’s needs and routines are unique. Building trust with a cat is rewarding, and it is always like making a new friend.
About: Hello! My name is Nora. I have been petsitting for over 15 years! I first started caring for dogs when a friend found out my love for dogs and how much fun I had running with them and making them happy splashing in the water or just playing fetch! My arm can hold up to all the tug-a-wars any dog throws at me as well as throwing a good tennis ball. I love being outdoors and can go for miles walking any size dog. My experience includes any overnights or day-vacations that require your dog to stay home or while your at work. My availability is pretty open so feel free to contact me and let's set up some walks or sitting for an occasion. Looking forward to hearing from you and your dog/animals. I currently work full-time in insurance, but with a flexible work schedule I am able to petsit almost anytime. I currently have 4 dogs in my household, so any amount of dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals, I am available! When taking care of any pet, whether that be of my own or a petsitting job, every animal is taken care of like my own. My 4 dogs are trained to an electric fence, but have trained to kenneled fence, crate, fenced in yard, and on the leash. I love providing care for each pet with love and no matter the occasion, your pet is in good hands.

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

About: Animals kept me safe my entire life, now I return the favor by keeping your babies safe while you’re away. ❤️ I have been working with animals my whole life. At only 3 I moved in with my step father onto a small farm(yes this means I can feed your chickens, gather your eggs, clean your stalls, and feed your cattle, pigs, or even horses). I spent three years working in the veterinary field where I learned to better understand and triage animal emergency and how to deal with them calmly and safely. I have 3 dogs, and 2 cats of my own as well as a bearded dragon and a few chickens, whom I love more than life. I have minimal boarding experience, but have had or worked with everything from fish and birds, to dogs to cattle, from snakes to horses, and I love each one of these creatures just as much as the rest. I adore all animals, and cherish my pets so much, and finding some one you can trust to REALLY care for them can be a challenge, so let me make your life a little easier with flexible, reliable, patient and gentle care. As a pet mom to 11 furry, scaly, and feathered babies, I know how hard it can be to find reliable pet care. My animals are my children, my babies; the most important things in my world. I promise to love yours the way I’d love my own. I am currently unemployed and taking a leap. What I’d LOVE is to start my own pet care company. I know how hard it is to find pet care in and around the Berkshires, especially the holidays when all the day cares and well known sitters are booked - so let me take some of that weight off you. I’m flexible and reliable and can do drops ins, walks, day stays, over nights, or multiple day stays. I’m open to any animal type, including pocket pets, exotics and special needs. What can I say? Pets are really the only thing most of us like in this crazy world; so it’s kind of the perfect job. 😉 I am open to all types of care, all types of animals, and all types of situations. I have experience in vet medicine and have had elderly and special needs animals my whole life. No matter how long my interaction with your baby is, I assure you it will be filled with love.
About: I've helped family members with their dogs since I was 7, spent months working 11 hours a day at dog training school, and recently, my home has become a second house for a little Scottish terrier named 'Zoe.' and for a few years, we've been taking care of her, and her owner has been happy to send her back again and again. I am very flexible, I can work any day as I love taking care of pets and knowing they are as happy and safe as they can possibly be. I am not able to host dogs in my home, however, when taking care of a dog in your home, I would be willing to feed, walk, bathe or play with them in exactly the preferred way.

Additionally, I realized at the end of that 12 hour shift that I had no coverage for the next two days due (in no small part to a massive house move that had just occurred). Again, Priscilla came to the rescue and helped me for the next two days. She is a great communicator and a clearly dedicated professional.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with Labs, so I’m very familiar with big personalities, lots of energy, long walks, playtime, and plenty of slobbery love. 🐾 I also adopted a cat, which taught me that sometimes the best way to win a pet over is to let them come to you (and maybe offer a few treats!). Although my own pets have since passed, they gave me years of experience, amazing memories, and a genuine love for caring for animals. I’m patient, playful, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure outside, a game of fetch, or just some extra love and company, I’m happy to be their new buddy while you’re away! ❤️ I currently own my own business and make my own hours and work from home, so I can easily make my own schedule fit around any pet care! I'm lucky to have an open, comfortable and clean home where I can walk animals on the many acres I live on. I can also crate animals if that's how they are trained. When in other people's homes, I'm incredibly conscious of being considerate, following directions to respect their space, and understanding how the animal uses and loves the space.
About: I've been house and pet sitting for ten years plus, besides that I've been an owner of many dogs and cats. There is nothing that makes me happier than the well-being of them. When you choose me for the care of your fur babies, they'll be taken care of to the maximum comfort and standard. I'm flexible in that I work remotely... So i huge amount of the time i will be around to cater to your pets. And also will be able to walk them often and keep them stimulated I'll make sure their safety and the environment they're in are safe and nurturing. If it's the owner's house I won't change a thing, if it's my house I'll have them have access to all that they would have at their home.

“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!”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough about how well Sadie was cared for Kristina is certainly a dog-person. She read all the signs that Sadie was giving her to play, train go for a walk and chill. She followed all our directions and cared for Sadie as if she was her own dog. We received a lot of communication in the form of photos and videos. I would highly and without hesitation recommend Kristina to care for your dog too.”
“I’ve used Karine twice now with my golden retriever Thor, and am finally comfortable leaving him with someone else. It’s clear she cares about Thor and takes excellent care of him. He has a blast with her, which is evident in all the pictures she shares and his mood upon pickup. This is truly a home away from home for Thor, and he’ll be back for sure.”
“We couldn’t have asked for our doggie to be more loved and cared for. We just moved from California and were nervous about leaving our pup for the first time since the big move, but Katelyn and her family were absolutely wonderful. They sent photos to keep us posted and he looked perfectly comfy and at home in each. We are so grateful to have found Katelyn and would recommend her to others without hesitation. Our dog came back to us as though he had been on a retreat! Calm, happy, and himself.”
“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!”
“I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with Katie! She did a great job reassuring me that my dog would do fine and she would text me if there were any issues. She also sent me a picture throughout the day. I would definitely go to her again.”
“Absulotely the best experience ever! We were in a bit of a bind having found our dream rescue dog, but also had a wedding a week away. Maria came to the rescue and was able to accomodate our last minute needs and was flexible about dropping him off and picking up. She clearly loves what she does and we know Scooby got pampered! Loved the updates too! Super responsive! Scooby can’t wait to go back next time we are in need of a boarder!”
“Butter had such a nice stay! Nicole sent so many pictures of him throughout his stay and he got so much socializing time with other puppy friends! He looked like he had such a fun time and seemed well taken care of! I loved receiving updates and pictures all throughout the day to see what he’s up to and what he’s doing! I definitely will rebook again!”

“Hank loves his stays at MJ’s. He has so much fun playing with her dogs. He comes home happy & tired from having so much fun. MJ sent pics to ease my mind, and he was having a blast. If you need someone who is comfortable handling a very large breed puppy/dog she is your girl!”
“Candice was amazing and Barry absolutely adored her and her kids! he had a great time there and came home so happy! 10/10 would recommend and will def be going back!”
“Mary and Todd were amazing! Sent us pics of Oakley having fun on her walks and other pups Communication was terrific and Oakley seemed so happy being there! We can’t wait until her next visit with them! Plus, she made friends with the chickens!!”
“Kathleen was an excellent Rover host - perhaps the best we've encountered! Kathleen honestly seemed to love our dog almost as much as we do, and send updates and pics throughout his stay. Most importantly, our dog seemed to have a great time, and was in a really good, relaxed mood when I picked him up.”
“Kim is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our beloved Sully and made his stay a great experience. I felt very comfortable that he was in good hands, and got frequent updates and photos. Kim is attentive, trustworthy, caring, and provides great communication. Sully came home very happy but tired from a very fun stay. Highly recommend!”
“Riley and Hudson had an amazing stay with Heather. I received photo and videos of the dogs playing and doing tricks. The dogs even came home smelling better than they did when I dropped them off. She did such a good job I booked her for more weekends over the summer.”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Sarah was quick to respond to my request, and was willing to work with me regarding drop off and pick up times. I really appreciated her taking time for both my senior pup and I to feel comfortable before I left. My girl was happy when I picked her up, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sarah!”
“Our pup was happy to see us but clearly loved her stay when we picked her up today. Recieved daily updates with pictures while we were away. Informed of any potential issues/concerns (a chewed meaauing cup that we were able to confirm was already chewed) in a timely maner. We highly recommend kaylyn!”
“Wendy was great! I needed a dog sitter at the last minute and came across her profile. I loved that she was so close to my home, and she made the entire experience stress-free. During my dog's stay, I received nightly text updates along with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. This was the first time I'd traveled over 13 hours away from my sweet girl, so I was super nervous. After the first day went so well, all my worries disappeared, and I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing she was in great hands. I will definitely book with Wendy again and maybe next time she'll even get to meet my kitty too!”
