Pet Sitting in West Stockbridge

“Ashley was very reliable, responsive and communicative. She took great care of my cat, Jake, and gave him lots of love. We definitely hope she can be back to care for Jake in the future!”

“Heather took wonderful care of my very shy babies. She was sensitive to their needs and made friends with them slowly. She was also really great about communicating what was going on and helping me to feel safe as a pet parent!”

“Deborah was GREAT with my cats who tend to be shy around strangers, but they were immediately comfortable with her. She is communicative and has a warm and calm energy. Highly recommend!”

“Taylor was new to our two cats. Even though they were shy, she stayed to help them meet a new person. Taylor was very thoughtful to check the house for safety as well. I would definitely book Taylor again!”

“Daniella took such amazing care of our sweet Gandalf, while he was sick and needed to take medicine orally. He didn’t make it easy but she was patient, kind, and kept our home in great condition while we were away so it was lovely to return home to. THANK YOU DANIELLA!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets informally for my entire life and professionally starting 12 years ago. I care for each pet like they are my own. I am sensitive to their energy and needs. I am able to work with animals who have unique social/emotional and medical needs. I mainly work with dogs and cats but am also experienced in caring for small animals like rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.

“Sally takes great care of our cats and home and does the little extras like bring in packages and check if plants need watering. I recommend Sally and would happily rebook her.”

“Abby helped us with daily drop-ins for one week to care for our cats and she was terrific. She met us in advance to understand what our cats needed and then kept us updated everyday while we were away. It was wonderful knowing that our cats were so well taken care of. Abby is wonderful.”

“First time using Rover and I’m glad we went in this direction. Keri was a great local find and was patient with our request to come out to meet our two dogs prior to us being out of town. She provide notifications upon arrival and departure and sent us pictures each day. Thank you so much Keri, we’ll definitely call you in the coming weeks for our next trip.”

About: I’ve always been a “dog person,” but that love truly deepened when we welcomed Lulu into our lives three years ago. With a background in education and 11 years of teaching experience, I’ve channeled my passion for learning into dog training and enrichment. For the past year, I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, walking dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments — an experience that has strengthened my understanding and connection with each unique dog. I would be thrilled to work with you and your pup, providing meaningful fulfillment and enrichment while you’re away! I am currently working full time as an elementary educator and am available on weekends during the school year. I have limited availability after school hours (if you're curious about that please reach out directly) but I anticipate more availability to open up in the summer! I have an active pup and I know how much it takes to help her to be fulfilled. We have a small fenced area at our home but do most of our movement on structured, loose-leash walks, long-line hikes, and playing in our large yard on a long line leash. We incorporate different types of play - fetch, tug, a herding ball, and a flirt pole are some of Lulu's favorites. I would love to explore what types of activities you and your dog enjoy to do together!

“Lexi was really responsive and took great care of my two cats. She’s very reliable and communicative and I look forward to hiring her again.”

About: I love to care for my dog and love to meet other dogs. I am open to any dog and its unique personality. I have taken care of all sizes of dogs and always want to meet their needs. I don't mind taking them on walks around the neighborhood and am happy to take pictures or videos of how they are doing. I am primarily available on the weekends but will make time for weekday evenings. I am currently applying to other weekday jobs and will update my schedule accordingly. I’m moving to Amherst on August 26th so I recommend not booking after this date. I will not be in the area I let my dog outside when he asks for it and keep a close eye on him. I also supervise all dogs outside, making sure they don't go into places they should not go. I will also provide baths when asked and can give oral medication.

About: I've trained two dogs that I got when they were puppies. I currently have 1 dog and many chickens. I've watched dogs and cats in the past. I've also had cats, hamsters, fish, a rabbit, birds, guinea hens and chickens. I currently work from home most days. When I don't, I'm not gone for long. I prefer to be home if I'm pet sitting and that changes from time to time. My yard is fenced and blocked off on two sides. There is a field behind the house that's usually grass that's usually too tall for domestic animals to go into.

“Took good care of our fog”

“McKenna was amazing with our 2 cats, Pepper and Maggie. She was very reliable and easy to contact. We would definitely use her services again. We can't thank you enough!”

About: My name is Jessica and I am a caring and fun person who has been caring for dogs since I was seven years old! Now I am 24 years old and do not have a dog anymore but still enjoy spending time with my friends pets and I dog sit for my neighbors. I am very active so I enjoy taking dogs on walks and hikes. I live walking distance from a lake. If the dog I am taking care of feels comfortable in water then I will splash around with the dog in the lake (there are dirt roads in this area to walk the dog on too). I have had experience with a wide variety of breeds, so I feel pretty comfortable with any dog. I understand caring for a dog is similar to caring for a child. I am trustworthy and loving towards animals! I recently passed my board exam so now I am relaxing for some time & will begin my job hunt in February, 2022. Therefore, caring for a pet will fit perfectly into my current flexible daily routine. I do not live with any other pets & I create a safe environment by keeping the dog on the first level of my home only. On the first level I make sure that there are no hazards for the dog. In a client's home, I follow all of their reccomendations in order to keep the pet as comfortable & safe as possible.

“Dana was amazing. She really helped me out with a jam. I Would highly recommend her!”
