“Jayden is an amazing and extremely attentive sitter! I have a very energetic pup and two growing cats and they seemed to really enjoy their time with Jayden. When I returned home, the house looked amazing and everything was as it should be. We will definitely be using their services again in the future.”


“Brianna is so amazing, would 100% recommend her to take care of your pet! She is so kind and asked many great questions about our pet and home at our meet and greet. She took care of our dog for over two weeks and sent daily pictures and updates. She played with him, took him on long walks and brushed him. Our dog clearly loved her and her communication made us feel so reassured on our trip! She also left our place very clean. We are so lucky to have found her!”


“It was our first time getting a sitter to stay in our home and care for our 3 dogs for 2 days and Kathryn did not dissapoint. She was very attentive, sweet, patient, and understood all the directions on what to do for our 3 fur babies since they all have different eating habits and personalities. She made sure she texted me throughout her stay if she had any questions and sent us plenty of pics to keep us updated. She was very respectful of our home too. Her price is completely reasonable and I felt like the kids were in good hands with her. I would ask for her help again in the future and I definitely recommend.”


“Brianna was great to work with. She watched our home, our dogs, and our cat...we could not have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly responsive, kind, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Brianna for taking such great care of our furry family.”


“Anais is the best!! My boyfriend and I went on our first long trip away from our puppy, Anais sent lots of pictures and videos every day. She was very responsible and responsive to our texts. In addition to taking great care of our puppy, she cleaned our entire apartment! Definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future!”


“We moved to Chicago just a few weeks before a two week trip to Australia, so needless to say we were a bit worried about leaving our cat. I got in touch with Nicole before we even moved and she was great right from the start. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures at least twice a day and was very communicative. She asked if her boyfriend could stay with her and since we were gone for two weeks, we agreed to that. They stayed at our apartment for two weeks and treated both our cat and our apartment with care. You could barely tell anyone had stayed there when we got back. I also left them a novel of instructions and they followed it all (although I could've been more clear on how many treats he should get, he got spoiled!). As soon as she got to our house at the start of our booking, our anxieties about leaving our cat were gone. Can't recommend booking Nicole enough.”


“Shakira is the absolute best and just a amazing lady! This was my first time hes I g him with a stranger. Both she and Benzo fell in love with each other and he was looking sad when she left. She took good care of my boy and kept me updated on his activities during the day. Couldn’t ask for a better experience or sitter for my puppy. Do not hesitate ti book her if she’s available; you won’t regret it I promise. She is a dog whisperer!!?”


“Alexa was a very thoughtful, thorough, and kind sitter. She followed all the house rules and Nala rules. She left our home better than when we came back. We will definitely hire her again.”


“Patricia was absolutely a star for us. Bucket loved having her here and was sad when she left. We will absolutely use Patricia again and appreciate everything she did for Bucket. The care was immaculate and much appreciated!”


“Daniela did a great job. She was very loving to my dogs and I appreciated that she spent so much time with them. She also left my house very clean! She really had a bond with them and I can tell she really loves animals.”


“Margaret was amazing! She was so wonderful to work with. She took such good care of our zoo family which consisted of 4 dogs and 2 cats for 5 days. She also took care of our home. She made sure our babies felt comfortable while we were away. I will definitely be booking with Margaret if she's available!”



“Samantha was marvelous! I’m always nervous leaving my 9yo wheaten terrier, as she’s been known to get kind of cranky and snarly around other dogs. However, Samantha assured me she felt comfortable with my high-maintenance fuzzy friend. She sent regular photos and updates throughout my week-long trip, and always responded quickly whenever I’d reach out. My place was very clean when I returned and, most importantly, my dog seemed happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely reach out to Samantha again for upcoming trips!”


“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”


About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years providing me with a diverse range of experience with dogs of varying temperaments, including anxious and reactive dogs. I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of free time to dedicate towards taking care of your pet(s)! I am currently available Monday - Friday for walks and am able to fit most requests in due to working a remote schedule. In my client's home, I am to replicate the pet's home environment as closely as possible. I respect the owner's rules and preferences for their pets, following any specific instructions they provide. If a client wishes, I can provide regular updates to the owner including messages, photos, and videos to keep them well-informed about their pet's well-being. Ultimately, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of the pets I care for, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their owners.

“Travis did a wonderful job with our dogs. We had all confidence in his abilities from our initial meeting. We kept in touch during the trip through Rover, and Travis was quick to respond, we never had any concerns.”


About: Dogs gravitate me & vice versa I have loved and cared for two Wheaton Terriers for a total of 18 years and don’t plan on stopping One day at a time, one week at a time I can adapt to any schedule. I like to stay busy so I am capable of juggling several jobs. I will earn your trust quickly The dogs will like me right away because I am playful. I will keep them active & occupied to make sure they are healthy and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of a number of dogs in my family and love to take them on walks or house sit! I’ve had my three cats for about 8 years now, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention our pets need to feel safe and happy. Living with them has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities—from playful energy to those more independent “I’ll come to you when I want snuggles” moods. I’m also comfortable caring for pets at different life stages. I enjoy working with doggies on basics like crate training, leash walking, and positive reinforcement, and I have experience with senior pets who may need medication, a slower pace, or a little extra comfort and care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship, I make sure pets feel loved and secure. And since I know how important updates are when you’re away, I love sending photos and notes so you can relax knowing your furry family is in good hands. I currently work from home three days a week so I’m able to stop by and look after your pets as needed throughout the week. I’m able to adjust my schedule to drive on over and take them on walks or feed them as my schedule allows. When it comes to caring for pets, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure in their familiar space. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are always available, and any special instructions—like medications, feeding schedules, or exercise needs—are followed carefully.

“Christopher was great taking care of our very old cat on our recent house sit, which included oral medication and infusion. He followed instructions and asked questions when clarification was needed. Would recommend!”


About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in Grammer school. At one point in my life I shared a home with four roommates with pets. All together we had 3 dogs and 4 cats at one time. I have had 3 cats in my lifetime as well. My family, wife and daughter, currently have no pets,(our family Doberman passed a few years ago)so it seems the perfect time to provide care for your pets in your time of need. I currently work part time in the music industry and real-estate. I have flexible days to offer for your pets. My wife and daughter are also very good with pets. In a way, you get 3 care givers for the price of one! I have a spacious backyard that has a secure 6 foot wooden fence all the way around the property. My family and I currently do not have pets besides our fish, Blueberry, so all our attention can be focused on your loved one.


“Tamara was an excellent pet sitter. She showed up for the meet & greet before our scheduled time. Big plus for us! She was communicative during the time we were away & we hope use her again the future.”
