5. Natalie S.
About: every sitter loves animals, but I really do adore animals and I love being able to just enjoy and meet new animals. My special skills with animals is to cuddle! I love making sure the fur babies are taking care of with love and respect! I currently work a full time job, M-T from 7 to 5, which is the main reason of dog sitting on the weekends! I can do full weeks just need to know ahead of time to be able to discuss with work! The best option is to have them at the client’s home, animals are always comfortable when at home and a place they know! It’s already scary that a stranger is in there house but much better than a scary car ride into a new house!


6. Amy K.
“Amy is an amazing pet caregiver, and also just an overall swell human being. She's punctual, thorough, knowledgeable about animal care, and is happy to follow any specific instructions you may have. She's respectful of your space and takes full ownership of her responsibilities, leaving nothing to chance. I've relied on her to care for my household of animals (2 dogs, 3 fish, & 75gal aquarium) many times over the last several years, and there is no one I would rather entrust with their well-being than her. 10/10!”


7. Kabody B.

“Kabody is very helpful and accommodating. Helped out for 10 days with a hectic work schedule, our dog Millie loved his time. Thank you Kabody. ☺️”


8. Christine B.
“Christine has been watching my animals for years. I have a 10lb aussie doodle that has very high energy and she can keep up with her. Not only does she dog watch for me but she also feeds my ducks and rabbits while I’m away for work quite frequently. Christine is very down to earth and an honest person. I would trust her with any animal.”


9. Holli K.
“Holli did a great job watching my two dogs. She even took the time to send me pictures of my babies so I could see how they are doing!”


10. Natalee F.

“We are so appreciative of the time and effort Natalee put into watching our cats. I was particularly impressed and happy with how she treated our cats with very different personalities differently, which made each of them feel more comfortable. She was also really fast with communication through the whole process, from meeting the cats to her last visit.”


11. Emily W.

“Emily was great and very flexible. We ended up extending our trip by one day and she agreed to continue dropping in to see our pets even though I know it was inconvenient for her. We really appreciate the care that she gives our pets and her communication with us.”


12. Lacee M.

“Lacee is great. Boomer took to her immediately and she takes great care of him.”


13. Joclynn W.
About: I have had Rottweiler and pit bulls since I was a baby, I bathe my own dogs and take them on walks daily I have 3 of my own right now, including a Rottweiler, Shih Tzu and a terrier mix, all from either the local shelter or strays no one ever claimed. I’m currently only babysitting my newphew, but I am going to classes to be an emt so it fits right in with my schedule & helps me earn more money towards classes and equipment! I have a fenced in yard and I have 3 dogs of my own, if I was at another persons house I’d make sure to watch the dog carefully, clean up any potty messes and make sure they get enough exercise with walking, running, and playing!


14. Kayla J.
“Kayla has owned many animals since I've known her and she treats them all with love and compassion as well as training them in basic tricks and house training she would be a great dog sitter if given the chance”


15. Andrea B.

16. Michael F.
“michael has always loved dogs ,,hes been around alot of them ,,hes watched my dog while im away ,,i would always trust him .and the dog likes him too”


17. Ashley C.
“I’ve known Ashley for a long time. When she was a little girl she used to play for hours outside with her dog, following them in the woods, playing in the mud, walking, etc. And now as an adult, she still doesn’t like to be far away from her fur babies. She structures her life to be home and available for her pets, she keeps them updated on vaccines, and socializes them with other dogs as much as she can. She especially developed a love for poodles about six years ago. She learned to groom them herself and has had this breed now for many years. She loves the breed for their intelligence and sensitivity. She also loves that she can have matching curly hair with them. I can ensure you Ashley will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is cared for with the highest quality.”

I graduated with a B.A. in environmental and marine science in 2023 and currently work at Potawatomi Zoo I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am available during mornings and evenings depending on the day I am not able to care for pets in my home. Both of my cats are quite old and do not do well when around other animals.

About: I've been a pet owner my entire life from dogs and cats to birds, fish, hamsters, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, and more! I occasionally pet sit for family members on vacation. I am also in pursuit of a training certificate. I work from home full time as an accountant and get to make my own hours! This enables me to be flexible and fit your pet care needs into my daily schedule with ease. I am not currently offering overnight visits. However, I can drop into your home to check on your pets periodically through the day and night, I can take them for walks, rides in the car, bathe them, feed them, or simply keep them company and play with them!
