“We had a wonderful experience with Kennedy watching our two cats! From the beginning, she was kind, communicative, and professional. She made sure to keep us updated with photos and messages during each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals—both of our cats warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot! We came home to happy, relaxed pets and everything just as we left it. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend Kennedy to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Laurie was so awesome, she accepted my super last minute request and my baby got taken care of! She was extremely sweet and seemed to genuinely care about my dog! Will definitely rebook!”
“I had to leave my kitty home alone over the weekend for the first time ever, I was very nervous but Jason was very friendly and professional and put me at ease. He also bonded with her faster than anyone else she’s ever met! Definitely will recommend and if I ever need a sitter again, Jason will be my go-to!”
About: Me and my family love animals we always have at least 2 dogs in the house so I've grown up around them and know how to handle them. I pet sit a lot for family and friends which has given me lots of experience with house sitting, walking dogs, and grooming them. I'm currently going to college but I do not have a busy schedule, from Monday to Thursday after 4 I am completely free to take care of pets. I will double check with the owners on details with dogs and the home, make sure medical information about the dogs is known and how I should approach and comfort any animal under my care.
About: I have owned so many pets from normal cat to hedgehogs. I am a teacher by day animal lover at night. I am available evenings and weekends until summers of course I am currently working full time during the day M-F but after may I will be available anytime as I’m not working during the summer time. Smoke free home, I have a dog park accesible to me walking distance. Let me know if you have any specific needs in advance so I can let you know how I will accommodate
About: With 3 years of doggy daycare experience and 3 years as a veterinary technician, I bring a well-rounded mix of hands-on pet care and animal medical knowledge. Beyond my work experience, my passion for animals has led me to train my own reactive dog and even leash-train my cat. True care starts with seeing the world through their eyes. As your pet nanny and local dog walker, I’ll make sure that while you’re away, every tail keeps wagging and every purr is heard—I’ll become your pet’s second-best friend. Pet care is an important and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. I currently work Wednesdays from 7 AM to 1 PM, and 12 hour shifts on Thursdays and Fridays with rotating weekends. On the days I’m scheduled to work, I’m still available for pet visits before and after my shifts, as well as during my lunch break from 12 PM to 1 PM. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that fits your pet’s needs while ensuring they get consistent, loving care. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I respect each pet’s unique routine, space, and personality, and I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes and play styles. Building trust with both pets and their owners is at the heart of what I do. I approach every visit with patience, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals, ensuring your pet feels safe, seen, and cared for in your absence.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since i was very young. I have 3 rescue cats and i often pet sit my family’s golden retrievers while they go out of town. I would love to share my love and care for your babies while you are away from home. I am currently working part time so i have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I am a cat owner and my family owns dogs that I sometimes take care of when they are out of town. I love them very much and i will like to share my care and affection with yours as well. I’m very flexible and I am mostly available to provide care in your residence since i live in a small apartment with my own cats.
About: I’ve been taking care of pups since I was 12 years old. I also had a passion and soft heart for animals. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach to each pet's care by helping them learn basic commands and socialize effectively, ensuring they develop good behavior from the start. I also have a strong focus on senior dogs, providing gentle care and attention to their unique needs for comfort and health. With a commitment to safety and happiness, I create a nurturing environment that gives pet owners peace of mind while they're away. I currently work part time at my local church in the children department. During the week I’m attending online school, during that free time i can definitely help pet owners who are in need of a walker. I live near high oak park great trail to walk the pups! I usually take mine everyday for their daily walks. I also travel to pantego dog park so my dogs can interact with others.

“Nathalie did a great job taking care of my dog over the Labor Day weekend. Kona usually barks at strangers and he didn’t with Nathalie.

About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and have been blessed with 23 years filled with kisses, walks, and cuddles. I have watched dogs and cats throughout middle and high school and hope to help out around town! Reach out to me whenever and I can make things work. I am currently finishing my master’s and am flexible with my schedule to make things work for you and your pet. Caring for pets at home or in a client’s home requires creating a safe, trusting environment. This includes providing fresh food and water, maintaining cleanliness, ensuring a secure space, and giving them attention and exercise. Building trust through consistent routines, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement is essential.

Drew W.
“I’ve known Drew for over ten years since we met our freshman year of college, and she’s one of the most caring and dependable people I know.She’s amazing with dogs and has this calm, loving presence that they instantly connect with. When I left for Air Force basic training, Drew watched my dog Shadow for eight weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him. She kept up with his routine, gave him so much love, and made sure he was happy and healthy the whole time. It meant the world to know he was in such good hands. Drew treats every dog like her own, and I would trust her with Shadow any day. If you’re looking for someone who’s kind, responsible, and truly loves dogs, Drew is it.”
Irene B.
“Irene takes care of our 3 Golden Retrievers every time we go on vacation. She is reliable and takes very good care of our babies like her own. We definitely recommend her for any of your pets needs!”
