House Sitting in West Springfield

“Julissa did a great job pet sitting our dog and two cats over the holidays. Pets seemed very happy, communication was great, and the house was very clean when we returned. Thanks Julissa!!”

About: I have done both walking and house sitting for family and neighbors for five years, and have worked with and am comfortable handling both large and small dogs. I grew up owning dogs, including a shitzu mix, a poodle mix, and a shelter girl of unknown breed. While all but one of the dogs I have owned were under 20 pounds, most of my history in pet sitting has been with has been with dogs in the 30-70 pound range, including labs, huskies, and a pit bull mix as my most frequent clients. I have experience with owning a fear reactive dog, but my comfort with taking care of them will be on a case by case basis. I also have experience with training young dogs for crating, potty training, and leash training I am currently exclusively self employed and have a flexible schedule with my income sources, so I am available most days and times of the week At this time I am only able to provide care in my clients home, I am unable to provide boarding due to limited space in my house I will work with owners to maintain your pets normal schedule, including feeding and walks. I am comfortable crating and using alternate feeders or feeding styles as needed Dogs will never be outside unattended, and will be kept on leash or in fenced in yards unless the owner specifically requests that I do otherwise. Cats will not be taken outside for any reason unless requested by owners. All animals will receive a significant amount of play and/or pet time during each visit, assuming the animal is comfortable with and enjoying it For drop ins, I will provide at least one update per visit including pictures. For continuous house sitting, as my standard I will provide at least three updates per day (morning, mid day, and afternoon/evening) with at least one photo per update. If you would like more or less updates, just let me know and I am fully willing to work with you to get you the amount of contact desired

“EJ was amazing! This was our first time using her, and we were so glad she was located nearby. Planning everything with her was smooth and easy. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She stayed at our home, took great care of our dog, and our puppy was clearly happy with her. She also left our house spotless. I would definitely use her again. Thank you.”

About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.

“Ace is great! They showed up on time. Provided pics all night. our puppy was very well cared for. Will definitely use Ace again. Thank you Ace!”

“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”

“Robb watched our two pups while we were away for a few days. They tend to be very timid with new people and it can be frustrating trying to get them to relax/listen to someone other than myself or my fiance. With that said, Robb was very patient with the both of them and really took his time to slowly gain their trust. By the end of the stay, they both were very comfortable. Robb was responsive and responsible. He listened to our concerns and was able to ease our anxieties being away. Overall we are very happy and will definitely use his services again!”

“I truly cannot say enough good things about Audrey! We were very nervous leaving our dog Kaya for the first time with someone whose not family for our wedding weekend but Audrey took all those nerves away the first time we met her! She was so sweet and good with Kaya. She sent us so many pictures and updates throughout the weekend and it made our wedding weekend that much more enjoyable knowing Kaya was in good hands. She took excellent care of our home and our pup! Audrey will 100% be my first call the next time we’re planning a trip anywhere!”

“Mary stayed with our 6 pets and managed our home very well when we traveled for a week. We got lots of pictures and videos and our pets were well cared for. I can definitely recommend Mary for your pet care and I will use her again next time we have need.”

About: All my life I’ve had a variety of different animals all including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc. You name it, I have owned it. In some time spans all at the same time. I would love to take all this experience that I was fortunate enough to obtain throughout the years and bring it to your home! I am currently enrolled at the Western New England University. At the time being as I am on summer break I am looking for something to do to take up all this newly acquired time. As well as make some extra money to go towards my tuitions. Since I have a love for animals I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a cocktail. As you can imagine yes they can certainly be a handful but I couldnt imagine my life without them. Each and everyone being on a schedule of their own which is always never a problem.

“Erin was so great with Banner. She made sure to get him out for a walk or an adventure each day - something no other sitter has done. My boy is very high energy so he needs that stimulation she was able to provide! She updated me with pictures and texts each day which made me feel confident that Banner was in good hands. Thank you Erin for a great first stay with Banner!”

“We were so fortunate to find Deborah when our planned sitter had a conflict come up and none of our friends were available either. Deborah was attentive to my concerns, followed my very specific instructions about caring for our four cats, and communicated and sent photos regularly. She also took excellent care of our home. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a great cat and house sitter.”

Barbara L.

“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”

John M.

“Saige was fantastic! She house sat and cared for our older rescue dog, Rico, while we were away for a week. Saige sent regular updates and photos, and we were completely at ease knowing that Rico had settled into his normal routines so quickly with Saige. We have another trip coming up and we are looking forward to Saige taking care of Rico for us again!”

“Kayla stayed at our house for a week with our 2 dogs and she did an excellent job. We highly recommend her for any of your needs with babysitting your animals when you’re thinking of getting away. We will definitely be using Kayla in the future.”

“Brianna is a star! After moving Zora from the only home she had ever known less than a year ago, I was very unhappy about leaving her for a whole month, but I needed have worried. Zora and Brianna quickly formed an enduring bond and did SO well together. It was infinitely reassuring to receive regular texts, photos and videos of their days together. Brianna also took amazing care of my home and my plants. When I got home, everything was immaculate. Zora had obviously been content, well cared for and exercised during my absence. Definite five stars!! Thanks, Brianna!”
