“As always, Penny was wonderful looking after Ollie. Every time we go away we know that all he could not be in better hands. I highly recommend Penny to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”
“We had such a great experience! She took wonderful care of our puppy and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals. Highly recommend!”
“Bielka was great. She responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate my pup last minute, when my usual sitter had to cancel. She took good care of my dog, and was able to handle her quirks and energy with seeming ease. When I picked up my dog, Bielka gave me a little summary of their time together and let me know how my dog did. She truly cared and loved her, and I so appreciated that. It's not always easy to find somebody who will provide that care and form a connection with your dog over a short period of time and it feels like Bielka did just that. My dog seemed totally at ease. I'm so grateful for Bielka and would 100% recommend her!”
“Katherine is awesome! My dog just spent a week with her and was very happy. She sent me pictures every day and reached out with updates. There was never a lack of communication or a feeling that my pup wasn’t being absolutely cared for. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs, and I won’t hesitate to call her again when the need arises!”
“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”
“Huge thanks to Robert for taking care of Pepe in what must have been a challenging week with 2 large snowstorms!! I think Pepe was a little confused at first (he had been a stray), but he came home well fed and happy!!”
“Megan is absolutely incredible. She treats our dog as if she were her own. She communicates regularly and keeps us informed. So very grateful to have Megan watch our Fina when we are away. Five stars and beyond!”
“I can’t recommend Abby more! She was so accommodating and welcoming to our dog. She always kept us in the loop and was sending pictures of all the fun he was having. I’m so happy we have found someone that we truly feel comfortable leaving our dog with. Again, she is so so so amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Ashley was a very professional, attentive, and caring sitter. We left our dog with her for almost a week, and he came back very happy and tired. (He's still sleeping it off I think!) I would definitely recommend Ashley to others!”
“Luiz and family have cared for my princess Becky many times over the last few years and have always provided her with the best experience at their K9 Resort,.! We are very fortunate to have such great place for her while I travel. Becky enjoyed her stay there very much, and can't wait to go back to see her friends! Excellent”
About: I work full-time from home in Amherst, meaning your dog will never be left alone or crated for long stretches. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where guest dogs can run safely alongside my friendly 35 lb Rat Terrier/Beagle mix, Wally! Because I only host ONE client family at a time, your pet gets 100% of my attention, unlimited bathroom breaks, and constant supervision throughout the day. Whether it's lounging next to my desk or playing fetch in the yard, your dog will feel right at home. I work full-time from home, which means pet care seamlessly integrates into my day. Your dog won't be left alone or crated for hours while you're away. I take regular breaks throughout the day for yard play, potty breaks, and walks. Because I only take one client family at a time, your dog receives constant company alongside my friendly mix, Wally. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. Inside, furniture privileges are welcome if that's what your pup is used to at home! Whether your dog is crate-trained or prefers lounging on a dog bed, I adapt to their normal routine. Mandatory meet-and-greets ensure everyone gets along before booking.

“Brooke was wonderful with our pups Freya and Odin. From the meet and greet to pick up, Brooke put us at ease and allowed us to relax while on vacation as we knew our dogs were taken good care of. Brooke sent daily updates and pictures, which offered us relief while being so far away and for such a long time. She followed our directions and we did not have to worry. She shared that the dogs did well and were great! We were very satisfied and happy with the care that Brooke and her family gave our dogs and we would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Kate has helped care for our dog on multiple occasions. On a recent trip abroad she cared for our pup in her home and he was well taken care of. When we picked up our pup you could tell that he felt safe and loved at Kate’s home. I would recommend Kate to anyone!”

“This is the second time I’ve had Callie do drop-in visits for my two cats and she did a fantastic job both times! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pets stay happy and healthy. I highly recommend hiring her for any of your pet care needs!”
“Kali is a lifesaver! My fiancé and I went away on vacation for 10 days and I was panicking since I’ve never left my pets for that long. She eased my worries, sent me cute pictures, and was wonderful with communication. She’s my go-to sitter and I can’t picture anyone else watching my babies :)”

Emily also babysat our indoor and outdoor plants, especially some special ones that we had just planted before our trip. They in great condition. We definitely recommend Emily as a pet sitter and hope she will be available the next time we go away.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, starting my pet care career in high school at a doggie daycare, and ending up here, with 6 years of professional experience and the same love of animals I’ve had since the beginning. I do have a full time job that prevents me from doing any jobs between the hours of 7am-4pm Tuesday-Thursday. Friday/Saturday I am available beginning at 2pm, and Sunday/Monday I have open availability. I treat all animals the way I would hope someone would take care of my girls when I go on vacation. There’s nothing more important to me than knowing they’re in good hands with someone who will not only stop by and feed them, but spend time with them, maybe cuddle on the couch or just keep them company. I understand that your pets are family, and I will always treat them as such.
“Jessica was caring and attentive to our kitties! She was able to modify some instructions when my kitten wasn’t eating as well and was very communicative with updates. Thanks, Jessica!”

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

Highly recommend for any pet parent looking for a safe and caring place to leave their babies.”

I found Shannon and she happily accepted my booking request with less than 24 hours notice and without the benefit of a meet & greet. Her home is set up perfectly with a beautiful fenced in yard at the end of a quiet dead-end street. I will definitely call on Shannon again when I'm back in the area. Thank you again for helping me out when I was in a bind.”

“Rebekah took care of our pups and knew exactly what to do for them with their care. She was communicative and professional and prompt. Our dogs love her! We won’t hesitate to work with Rebekah again!”
About: I accommodate your pet considering their physical needs as well as your expectation. How far can they walk? Ailment’s? Health conditions? I will factor all these into each walk. I have personal experience with dogs of all ages and sizes as well as cats of all ages and am comfortable understanding their behaviors and body language. I grew up with dogs and my most recent English black lab of 14 years young, who passed in September 2019 due to her weakened hips and other health conditions. I understand the patience and care needed for senior pets. I currently have a tuxedo cat/ Maine coon who fills my days with love. I take great pride in attention and respect to animals of all ages and sizes. Endless attention and positive affirmations will be given to your lovely pets while you are away, texts and pictures will gladly be given, as a photographer I can’t help myself! Currently I have a flexible schedule as I am a freelance pet, landscape and product photographer. Looking to fill my free time with being outdoors while helping busy individuals and their fur family. Fresh water will always be accessible, while honoring their food schedules, as well as their outside schedules and activities. I will always be diligent in locking doors as well as lights left on or whatever preference makes you and your pets comfortable.
“Sarah visited us prior to her scheduled walk with Bailey - I knew immediately she would be the perfect person to leave Bailey in her care .. Bailey is very friendly as is it but it seemed like Sarah was her long lost friend! I was happy to know Bailey would be in great hands .. I will reach out Sarah for future services. ?”
“Nissa came yesterday. She was right on time and took Brandi on a nice walk. She seemed sensitive to Brandi's needs. She is pleasant and conscientious! I will definitely contact her again.”
“We love Emily and are so lucky to have found her. She does a great job caring for our crazy animals and is very reliable. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”
“Callie has been amazing at caring for my older nearly 15 yr old Dutch Shepherd, Methos. Normally picking about who walks him/feeds him/gives his meds, Methos warmed up to her within 1 day. Callie's extra care and consideration for his progressing medical needs has assured me Methos is safe and in good hands.”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household with over 40 animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have spent years working in a small locally owned pet store in my home town taking care of exotics, before moving into kennel work at a vet’s office. I have experience in giving medications to dogs and cats in different methods, and monitoring their health afterwards. My primary role was offering our boarding pets the comfort of a home away from home. I’m a reptile dad every day, taking care of my own snake and bearded dragon babies. I’m currently home every day with time and love to give to other pets and their people who need an extra hand. I have a big room with a comfy bed that they can lay on in a nice couch that we can sit and watch shows on. I also have a fenced in yard outback that I can take them in to play, but I have a spacious cemetery up and across the street that is great for leash walks as well. I also have various toys and litter boxes as well.
“We were so grateful to have Damien help us with midday walks this week! He always treats our guy with such kindness and leaves the best feedback about how he’s doing during the day.”
About: I began my journey in animal care at the age of 15, working at a dog boarding and daycare facility. Over the course of six rewarding years, I honed my skills in managing and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. While I later transitioned to office roles, my passion for the outdoors and animal companionship has never waned. Today, I am the proud caretaker of a diverse and lively menagerie, including my own pups, a cat, goats, ducks, pigs, cows, and chickens. My deep connection with animals drives me to offer exceptional daycare and boarding services. My property features a spacious field and a scenic wooded trail, perfect for nature walks and playgroups for local pets. I am committed to creating fun and enriching experiences for your furry friends, combining my love for animals with my extensive experience in pet care. Let’s make your pet’s day extraordinary with engaging outdoor adventures and personalized care! I can accept your fur babies for daycare or boarding 7 days a week. I also accept last minute reservations. Drop offs can be as early as 6am and pick up can be negotiable depending on the day. I have 3 playful dogs who love to have friends to romp around the field with and go swimming in the river. My property is not fenced in.
About: I have grown up with animals. For as long as I can remember we owned some type of animal, from fish to goats. We owned them. We always visited my families farms there were cows, horses, pigs and DOGS! I loved the dogs. The dogs and horses were my favorite parts! I was lucky enough to live on my aunts horse farm for a few years and help with the rescue pups that she would foster. She has taught me a lot about working with dogs as well as other animals and how to work with them together and being around each other. I have been dog sitting/boarding for a 10 years now. I have met many different dog breeds and with many different personalities! I would be a great choice for you and your fur babies! Schedule: I work from home as an entrepreneur! This gives me plenty of time to take pups for a walk, swimming, hiking or on an adventure ride! Care: I have been working with animals and dog for 15+ years. Safety if my main concern, for myself and your fur babies! I make sure to follow instructions left without question. While house sitting I ensure to leave a place well kept and more clean then when arriving!
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8. I’ve fostered animals, and helped walk, feed, bathe, supply medicine (supplements and pills) to them for friends, family, etc for a little over 8 years now. I’m very experienced with younger dogs and can provide extensive walks / playtime for entertainment and engagement. I also love working with senior dogs as well, and can help provide a calm, stress free environment for them while their owner is away. I’m currently working part-time from home and have a very flexible schedule! I can do drop in visits, overnight stays, and even long weekends / weeks for vacations and getaways! Early mornings and late nights are no problem for me as well. I don’t mind cleaning up messes or puddles, and I can travel very flexibly if needed! I am OK helping with crate training, and providing a positive environment for any pup to grow in while their family is away! I have a fur baby of my own who is almost 4 years old, and absolutely adores other dogs! He is neutered, house trained, and very relaxed. He has been a very good role model for our youngest puppy in the house.
About: I worked in an exotic vet hospital for 7 years which is also a wildlife rehab facility. Prior to that I have raised and cared for animals of all species of my own my whole life. Whether fury, feather, scales, or more I love just about every living being & critter. I will care for your pets like they were my own. *Making a note that poisonous/venomous or illegal animals are not acceptable or allowed. I have experience with reptiles like geckos, bearded dragons like my own, iguanas, turtles, birds of all shapes, color, and sizes, some farm animals, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and things of the like. Animals that are venomous or harmful are excluded.* I care for and hang out with my fur babies, but there's plenty of room and time for more friendly faces. I work hard so my pets can have a good life. I frequently walk my dogs and can take yours around the neighborhood as well, lots of dog toys, pats and belly rubs, and can crate your pup if needed. I'm also willing to help with some trainings and house breaking if requested.
About: I’ve had furries since I was 4, dogs, cats, fishes! I believe all dogs and cats deserve to be treated with love compassion and attention no matter the size, breed, or species. I will love your pet like it’s mine and make them feel as comfortable as possible so you and your furry can have calm, fun and comfortable getaway! I work a part-time job so I’ll have plenty of time for the weekend all day long and doggy care/drop in visits/house sittings after 2pm I am available to take care of your furry at your home and provide them with the best care as well as attention and exercise!

I expect that we will be asking Laura to care for Hope in the future”
