House Sitting in Afton Center

“What can we say, but Josh and Anja were amazing again! Josh stayed with our pups just over the evening this time and as always, he did a fantastic job with the dogs and the house! Knowing that our dogs are so well cared for puts us completely at ease. Looking forward to another great stay again soon!”

Susan C.

“Always a pleasure. Bennett genuinely cares about my dogs and follows instructions well. Can’t wait for the next time! I know both my dogs are in good hands.”

Anna W.

“Claire was great! She stayed in our home and watched our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. She sent regular updates and we came home to a clean home and happy dogs!”

Megan K.

“I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!”

Ryan S.

“I was very grateful for Grace to watch over our newly adopted 5-year old golden retriever (our trip was planned before our addition)! Our pup is very sweet, and low-key, but very timid and does not like the outdoors (yet!)…Grace was so kind and patient with her during the long weekend stay in our home. We arrived home to a happy pup and Grace left our home in excellent condition. Definitely recommend!”

Abby E.

“Kellie was so great with our boy, Tyson for a weekend. She communicated clearly before the trip, during our trip (we loved the updates!), and after. She was respectful of our home and a perfect house guest. Tyson was immediately comfortable with her and we were so comforted knowing he was not only being taken care of, but really loved on, while we were gone. We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.”

“Wonderful job taking time with my pets and caring for them! We will definitely be using Adrianna again.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

About: I have been a dog/cat/house sitter for my family and friends for over 20 yrs. I will take care of your pets like my own I currently have a lot of time on my hands. I had to say goodbye to my dog last year and wanted to help other owners with theirs until I’m ready to adopt one of my own. That’s going to take some time. I’m I will have a lot of fun with pet(s). I enjoy going to the park or a hiking trail or staying in the backyard. They will be cared for and receive many hags and kisses. I understand the importance of a routine for some pets and will do whatever I can to keep them safe and happy.

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of play! What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler touch. Hi! I’m a part-time worker at an pharmacy and nursing student at NIU with a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending time with pets, it’s a fun and relaxing break from school and work. I’m reliable, responsible, and bring the same care and attention to animals as I do in my nursing studies. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company while you’re away, your pets will be in loving hands! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will try to stick closely to their usual routine feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I will make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and stress free while you’re away. I always keep things clean, stay respectful of your space, and give your pet the attention they need to feel comfortable. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just quiet company, I adapt to their needs and personality to ensure they’re happy and well cared for.

About: I have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors! I have no problem following rules, being flexible, and going above and beyond for you and your fur babies! I am a grad student working full time. I am available on evenings and weekends. My current apartment does not allow me to board but I am available for house sitting and walking. My current apartment does not allow me to board but I am available for house sitting and walking and all other services that are needed!

“Most reliable pet sitters ever! We know our pup is safe and can enjoy our vacations without worrying or having to send reminders. Loved the pictures he sends too!”

Kristin S.

“We cannot recommend Angela highly enough! Angela provided peace of mind during our vacation and our four furry kids were calm and happy when we returned. It is clear that they were happy, cared for, and stress-free while we were gone. One of our dogs is a bit more nervous than the others, so Angela dropped in a few times leading up to our trip to help our pup get used to her. I cannot imagine this experience going any better!”

Alyssa S.

“Emma was life saver for our honeymoon! We were able to enjoy our week because we knew our babies were being well cared for and loved on. I have an older pup who needs extra care and Emma was able to manage all of her needs. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone ☺️ our pups will definitely see her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog and dogs of family friends since I was in middle school. I grew up with a beagle and I was always responsible for walking, feeding, and giving her baths. I’m currently a student in college who doesn’t have a job during the school year which leaves me with some free time during the day/ evenings to walk and care for dogs. I can easily travel to your house to walk or care for you dog. My house is also very dog friendly and my neighborhood is filled with sidewalks making it very convenient for dog walking.

“Taylor was great!! We have two big dogs and she was not even phased with their rowdiness. She sent photos and kept me in the loop all weekend. I highly recommend her!”

About: i grew up with dogs and cats, so i have handfuls of experience! i also helped my neighbors with dog walking, and cat sitting since i was 12. i love animals, and i want to be able to take care of them for you while you are gone :) i’ve worked with all kinds of dogs and cats, young, old, playful, lazy, ones with basic diets, and ones with special diets. i make it my goal to have you and your pet be comfortable and trust me. i prefer to “live” at your house just so your pet doesn’t feel alone or neglected and so YOU feel better about your pets care. I am currently out of school until the spring, so i am free all day every day, with the exception of weekly appointments, and any family/social events i might have. i will always let you know on what im doing before i care for your pet so you know when im leaving the house. i keep all doors locked when i leave and at night. for dogs, i go outside with them (fenced in yard or not) to make sure they don’t eat anything they shouldn’t, and i check their paws to make sure they didn’t step on anything that could harm them. i monitor cats behaviors and let the owner know if they are acting unusual or they progressively get worse. i will let owners know if their pet isn’t eating, going to the bathroom, or is generally acting off. you and your pets safety is my priority.

“Kaitlyn is awesome! Great communication and care for our girls. We are so happy we can leave our pups home confident they get the same loving care as we give them.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and many other pets as well. I have also worked at a pet resort for over a year. I can provide senior dog care, I can care for aggressive dogs, scared dogs and even some with disabilities. I can also provide nail trimmings and nail grinds for your furry friends as well!!! I am out of school and graduated so I am pretty much free at all times of the day as well as weekends and holidays if needed!!! I do not own any dogs as of now, waiting on my own furry friend to come in September!!! As of right now I have my cat Dior.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and deep understanding of animal care. I grew up with dogs—specifically Alaskan Malamutes—and helped my parents care for them, giving me hands-on experience with large, strong, and high-energy breeds. I’ve also been my sister’s go-to caregiver for her dog, looking after her consistently from the puppy stage into adulthood whenever she’s away. In addition to my experience with dogs, I currently care for six cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline behavior, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s feeding, litter box upkeep, medication, or just giving them the right kind of attention, I know how to create a calm and comfortable environment for cats as well. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely care about making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in their owner’s absence. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I currently care for six cats of my own, so feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, giving affection, and monitoring behavior are all built into my daily routine. I'm also used to looking after my sister’s dog when she’s away, which means I regularly take time for walks, playtime, and keeping up with their needs. Whether it's mornings, evenings, or weekends, I have the flexibility and experience to provide consistent, attentive care that fits seamlessly into my schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that mirrors their usual routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box or potty breaks, and any special needs like medications or extra cuddles. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s keeping your home clean and respected or making my own space feel like a second home for your furry friend. Regular updates and photos are always part of the care, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
