“Nicole was amazing! She was great at introducing me and my dog to her family and pets. She was warm and welcoming and had all the stuff a dog needs. My dog loved playing in their backyard for hours.

“Sawyer was fantastic. We came home to a happy Pippa who was less stressed than previous times with other sitters. Plus, Sawyer was a fantastic communicator and very thoughtful, given that there was blizzard during her coverage.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life other than when I was a student, so you’re getting experience above all else. I can drop in for feeds, play time, take them to vet appointments while you're at work or away, stay the night if they get separation anxiety, whatever they need! Even if they just need company for an hour, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

“This is the second time that I used Amad to care for my cats, he has been great, will stay and play with them, easy to reach and will quickly respond . Overall we highly recommended .”
“Lily was extremely helpful when my previously booked sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was friendly and able to respect our home's dietary restrictions. She was a lifesaver! My senior car was cared for, and the house was in order upon our return. Lily provided occassional updates on how things were going and a few photos. She always responded quickly to messages despite a time difference. We'd be open to hiring Lily again.”
About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)
About: I’ve always took a liking to animals and always had postive bonds with them. Over the years of growing up my grandfather owned several big dogs and cats. While others would shy away, not me I always helped out and didn’t mind watching them. I currently run an online business which has allowed me to have so much time for my daily clients. Due to my freedom I’m able to provide walks as often as every two hours or less for my puppies. I also get to spend my days cuddled up with my temporary babies. Caring for any pet at my home or others will be very similar I will need to know any notes and any restrictions for me and the dog. As I would give them my complete attention so that it’s a little vacation for them as well as subtracting feeling neglected.
About: I bring 2 years of senior care experience, so I’m patient, attentive, and deeply respectful of others’ routines and spaces. My background in caregiving taught me how to notice small changes, handle responsibilities with care, and always show up when it counts — and I bring that same energy to pet and house sitting.

“Letícia took such great care of Bomi!! She was incredibly kind and patient with her. Bomi usually needs some time to warm up, especially when we leave her, but Letícia was so understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept us updated with pictures and Bomi looked so comfortable and happy! Her dog, Malu is super sweet too! We highly recommend Letícia if you are looking for a sitter 👍”

“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!”

I have two babies at home that I take care of 24/7. I’m a stay at home mom who would have plenty of time on my hands every day. I have a big backyard where pups can go out and walk and have fun. I have a dog crate if needed and I have a dog of my own and cats of my own for your fur babies to love.

About: Our family dog just moved out with my daughter, so my grandpuppy 😂. Thankfully he comes to stay regularly for extended visits! Most of my photos are of him, truly spoiled & loved. I’ve cared for animals most of my life. I’m available for walking, boarding, or checking in daily while you’re at work to feed or let out. Flexible availability, reliable and kind. I have very flexible availability for boarding, house sitting and checking in and walking. I only work 15 hours a week, so I’m home most of the time! Let me know your needs and I’m sure we can work something out that’s best for your pets needs. I have a smoke free, very tidy home. I live in a townhouse that is surrounded by woods and has close proximity to walking trails. You can provide a crate if needed for boarding. I will welcome gentle, people-friendly dogs, who are house & potty trained only. No overly dirty or muddy dogs please! Thanks for your understanding.
“John and his two very sweet doggies were wonderful with our skittish girl, Chloe. John's calm demeanor is exactly what dogs respond well to. He took lots of pictures of playing and walking, putting us at ease. When we came to pick her up, she had become part of the pack. Great sitter!”
“Davis was a wonderful sitter for our pup, Beau. We left Beau with Davis, her partner, and her pups for a few hours while we went to a museum and Beau seemed perfectly content when we picked him up. Thanks, Davis!”
“Ericca was wonderful with our new dog, Arlo. Arlo is a rescue and he is reactive to other dogs and Ericca knew just how to handle him. Arlo spent the entire day with Ericca and he had a great time. We will definitely be working with her again!”
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 used to have my own dog sitting/walking business. Then I had a baby so now I can only board dogs at my home. I love all animals. I am home 24/7 with my 2 kids age 3 and 1. I have had cats growing up. I have lots of experience with all breeds of dogs. I don’t have a huge yard but i have a walking trail seconds from my house that i walk all the time for exercise and fresh air.
About: Hi! As you can see, I'm not charging a lot (I set it to the minimum for Rover which is $15).... The main reason I am doing this is to get a playmate for my energetic Boston. He is very well behaved and friendly but needs dogs around to play with while I work. I am very safe with my dogs and make sure they are getting along and happy. I have a nice fenced-in area.... I only want to take care of dogs that will want to play with my dog for the day:). Overnights an option but for now, just offering day care on here. thanks! I work full-time from home, or if I goto my solo office, I would take the dogs. (Office is pet friendly and it's not far from my home) I am very good with dogs and have had them a long time. I would treat your dog like my own while they are here.
“I am so grateful to Christine for taking impeccable care of our dog while we attended an event in the area. She was easy going and accommodating and sent us pics of our dog having fun to put us totally at ease! Will definitely contact her again when we’re visiting Southern VT.”
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.
“Thank you so much for all of the wonderful pictures and the videos of Miss Tulips day with you. I hope she was a good girl for you but thank you so much for the exceptional care and love you gave her. We will most definitely have you watched her again for us. Thank you ☺️”
“Mike and Laura cared for my pup like she was their own. My dog is a little anxious and overly excitable but Mike took that all in his stride. He sent photos throughout the day and I could quickly see she felt right at home. She had a long walk and lots of playtime with her favorite game of frisbee. The night before we had a big snow storm and Mike was excellent at keeping me up to date on the road conditions. I will be happy to go back another time.”
About: Parents Jessica and Philip are the responsible adults guaranteeing that your dog will get everything they need, but 13-year-old Josie is the primary caretaker of our dog guests. She is a very attentive, loving and engaged pet pal! Since we started on Rover as a summer job for Josie in 2023, we have hosted dogs of all sizes, energy levels and needs and she loved every single one of them. She gets up early every day (whether or not she is caring for a dog) so she often gives the pups their first walk of the day before anyone else has gotten out of bed. In spring of 2023 Josie rescued an Eastern Phoebe (songbird) that was pushed out of its nest and injured; she fed it dry cat food soaked in sugar water and set it free a week later as a robust young fledgling (see pictures). On weekends and school vacations, Josie has little to do other than care for your dog! We are early risers. Our calendar has school days blocked off, but we would consider boarding a dog during the school week if its needs match Josie's availability so please inquire. Both parents work mostly or fully from home and could manage a midday walk for a quiet dog. Jessica is an elementary teacher and education administrator who is accustomed to carrying great responsibility for the safety of precious smaller beings. She closely supervises Josie as the primary caregiver. Our home is in the woods with access to Mt. Toby trails so your pup will get to enjoy the outdoors several times a day. Sometimes dogs who are anxious in the busy neighborhoods of their homes are much calmer when they come to our quiet, wooded setting. We have a flock of chickens in an enclosed outdoor area.
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had an unwavering love for animals of all kinds. Little critters, classic house pets, muddy farm animals, and everyone in between. I like making animals feel safe and loved. I have a lot of experience caring for a variety of animals, from kittens and puppies to elder dogs and cats with medication schedules, outdoor animals like horses, goats and pigs, as well as reptiles, birds, and smaller indoor creatures. I’ve also worked as a foster for dogs with anxiety and behavioral problems who need extra training and attention. My schedule right now is extremely flexible, for the first time in a long time. I want to spend as much time as I can working and playing with animals! I have a 4 year old male dog who is highly energetic and loves to play with any animal who’ll let him. If boarding in your home, he can come with or stay home depending on what is best for your animal. Happy to cater my services to whatever is needed

“Sawyer does great walking Eli. He just adores her. She’s very professional and great about checking in and sending pics!! Thank you Sawyer for taking care of my baby!!!!”
About: I have owned and cared for a variety of dogs for my entire life. I have cared for larger groups of dogs of all kinds, and have cared for dogs with some special needs.

About: I volunteered for 1.5 years at a shelter in Montana and most recently worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility as a handler and trainer for approximately a year. I personally have been a dog owner since 2013 (not including family dogs growing up). I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and demeanors. I have extensive hands-on training in reading dog body language. I am particularly well-versed in building a good relationship with nervous/fearful dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own pet! I’m currently working full-time and looking to do pet care on the side. My schedule can vary from week to week but we can figure out what works best for both of our schedules. I always respect a dog’s boundaries and never do anything that they are uncomfortable with. I am a very confident handler and that helps in building a trusting relationship with a new dog. Even if the dog immediately wants to be my best friend, I let them come to me and I let them set the tone and pace. The most important thing with any dog is patience and not forcing them into a situation that could be stressful for them. I have successfully trained two dogs that I adopted with behavioral issues including reactivity to other dogs & people, and resource guarding. I believe in positive reinforcement ALWAYS. If a correction is needed I use a firm but calm voice, and praise when the inappropriate behavior stops. You can rest assured that I will never do anything to harm your beloved pet.
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.
“Haley is absolutely wonderful! She is great at communicating things ahead of time and is very flexible if there’s a last minute change in the weekly schedule. My dog absolutely loves when it’s a “Haley walk day”. Absolutely recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.
About: Growing up in Vermont on a farm, I have been exposed to animals my entire life. I have been taking care of family and friends dogs, horses, cats, guinea pigs, camels (yes, camels) since I was allowed to leave the driveway on my bike as a child. Since leaving high school I took on a professional equestrian career with Wichita riding academy working with rehabilitating abused/ off the track race horses. I have just recently moved to Denver with a fenced in yard and lots of space. I have a dog of my own that is my entire pride and joy who loves spending time with other dogs. Having a fenced in yard, it’s very helpful and handy to those pups with bladder issues to go in and out of the house as needed. My home was completely childproof when I moved in and it’s so far worked for dogs as well. Huge open field located next to the house available for dogs who like to run as well.

“Allison was great with my dog Churro. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your house keys and beloved pet with a stranger! After a meet and greet, Allison agreed to walk and feed Churro while I was out of town. She was responsible, accountable and also flexible with a last minute request. Churro seemed happy and well cared for upon my return. I will be calling on Allison again in the near future for help with walking and caring for Churro!”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. My parents also run a dog sitting business on cape cod and I help out there when I can! I am also fully insured!

I also have experience with other types of animals including many exotics! Animals are my passion and it would be amazing to be able to be around more all the time. I also have a smaller dog that gets along with others, which would be available for me to bring with me if you would like! I hope to hear from you and your fur baby soon! No animal is too big or too small for me to handle! I enjoy working with them all! Please send me a message for more information! I currently work full-time 4 days a week- which is a very easy schedule to work around. I am flexible when it comes to needing care for your babies! I live in a wonderful area that provides many different places to walk when the weather is nice and a small quiet backyard. I also have a small dog that is very comfortable with all types of animals as well.
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.
About: I bring 2 years of senior care experience, so I’m patient, attentive, and deeply respectful of others’ routines and spaces.

I have my own high energy pup, so daily hikes, play time and training fit right into our routine. I have a fenced in yard, and a pet friendly home. Although our dog does not use one, we have crates available. Walks can be on or off leash depending on your dogs skills anf your own comfortability.
“John took wonderful care of our Golden Retriever! Ruby was very happy with all the attention, care and play time she got and John was very accommodating of our needs.”
“Ericca took great care of my dad's dogs while he was in the hospital. She was able to schedule with me last minute, over a holiday weekend, and extended the boarding by a day too. She was friendly, flexible, and kind. Recommended!”
“I was very happy with this service. Mahayla was able to take Dougal onshort notice and was very accommodating to my schedule. I got daily videos that were much appreciated!!”
“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.”
“Carl took incredible care of Milo! He came back exhausted. Carl also provided me the most pictures I’ve ever gotten, which I appreciated to see how much fun Milo had on his stay. Would 100% recommend to anyone!”
“We cannot say enough nice things about Laura. She took our two medium sized dogs in for over a week when we were in a pinch. She took all of our instructions to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and kept us updated with pictures the entire time…which helped us enjoy our vacation free of worry!”
“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!”
“Swift, Brian, family were amazing with our two dogs! They sent lots of photos throughout the weekend and responded quickly. We will definitely be using them again and highly recommend!”
“Holly and her family were wonderfully accommodating and helpful with our pet Sylvie. They have a wealth of experience looking after dogs, and really appreciate their individual personalities and needs.Communication was great and I would hve them watch Sylvie again, anytime.”
“Samantha and her family were amazing with Strider! She worked to figure out the best way to burn his energy and to keep him happy. As a bonus, she lives in an area any dog would love with places to hike and things to smell. I absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life and am a PhD student looking to use my exercise/break time taking care of your dog! Mondays to Wednesday I have open availability and Thursday to Sundays I am open from about 10AM to 2PM. I am super flexible and happy to follow your doggie rules. I have done formal training for rescue pups and understand dog behaviour/warning signs/signs of stress etc as well as any human can. I like to take my own dog with me most places, hiking, camping, you name it. I have owned dogs from 30lb to 90lb and ones who are super loving and those who are more shy. I am used to dealing with a more shy dog on a regular basis. Hope to hear from you!
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.
