About Us

Owner / Operator Samantha
We believe that pets are more than animals — they’re family. That’s why we’re committed to delivering care that’s not only dependable, but personal. Based in Western Massachusetts and now proudly serving parts of Connecticut, we offer in-home pet care services designed to keep your pets happy, healthy, and relaxed — right where they’re most comfortable.
This company was founded on real-world experience — not just with pets, but with people, too. With over 8 years of professional pet care across the U.S. and internationally, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and routines. From weekend getaways to extended travel, I understand what it means to trust someone with your home and your beloved companions.
Whether you need overnight care, midday drop-ins, or vacation sitting, we tailor each service to fit your pet’s needs and your peace of mind. While Direct Pet Sitting began as a one-woman operation, it’s built to grow — and anyone who joins the team shares the same values: reliability, clear communication, and a genuine love for animals.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience — it’s the personal connection we bring to every visit. You’ll receive updates, photos, and ongoing communication through our easy-to-use client portal and app. No guessing, no worries — just thoughtful, attentive care while you’re away.
With Direct Pet Sitting, you’re not hiring a hobbyist — you’re choosing a dependable service built with heart, professionalism, and the flexibility that modern pet parents deserve.
