“Glen was so great! And our dog who is usually suspicious of any stranger coming in our house just loved him! Prompt walks and gave us regular updates which made us feel comfortable being the first time we used this service while we were out of the country. Definitely recommend him!”
“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”
About: I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From group play supervision to feeding, cleaning, and administering medications, I gained experience in all aspects of pet care. I’ve also personally trained three dogs of my own—including a Great Pyrenees and a Black Lab puppy—so I’m very comfortable with everything from basic commands to crate training and leash manners. I’m confident with high-energy pups, large breeds, and dogs who may need a little extra patience. I’m currently available full-time until August 11th, so I can offer flexible and attentive care throughout the day. After that, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll still be available for evenings, weekends, and early mornings depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space, or providing extra playtime and cuddles. In my home, I create a calm and structured environment with plenty of supervision, especially during introductions with my own dogs. I’m experienced with crate training, managing group dynamics, and caring for dogs with specific behavioral needs. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give to my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.
“Kara is the best! My pup adored her from the very second they first met. She is organized and immediately picks up on all of the little details about your dog’s needs or routine so you can fully relax knowing they are well cared for. She will keep you updated with the sweetest updates and photos every step of the way. I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I've had in home pets for 25 years continuously. I am new to inside cats, but I'm learning quickly about what they entail. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they all seem to end up cuddling with me, even at the same time. I have a weird schedule, a few hours in the morning and another few in the afternoon, so multiple check-ins a day a few hours apart are no problem. I have a secure outside pen for potty breaks. All of my fur babies are friendly, so new introductions would be welcome and safe in our home.

About: Hello! My name is Beth and I'm an animal fanatic. I love every animal that I encounter as if they're my own. Currently, I work at a boarding facility in Morton part time so I am constantly around both dogs and cats. In addition to this, I dogsit for my cleaning clients when they need it as well as have two kitties of my own who I love to absolute death. When I lived with my mom, she walked dogs so I would sometimes help her with that when she wasn't able to take on the job. I would usually give 30 minute walks and my mom and I would check up on the dogs several times a day to make sure they were doing well. My neighbor has also employed me for overnight stays to watch his two dogs and I have done several other overnight stays in client's homes, most recently staying for a week at my last job! I absolutely love all animals and will accommodate to whatever needs they may have. Thank you for your time! I'm currently running my own business and working part time at a dog kennel but I'm able to make my own schedule so I'm very flexible and can be available as needed! My number one trait that I pride myself is being dependable! Unfortunately, I can't currently take dogs back to my home but, when I go to others homes, I make sure to treat it like it's my own and will try to leave it better than when I walked in. :) I also pride myself in being trustworthy and treat any client's animal as if it were my own.

“I am proud to share why I believe my nephew, Marco, would make an excellent pet caretaker. He has shown a deep love and compassion for animals from a young age. Whether feeding the cats, helping clean up after pets, or making sure they feel safe and loved, Marco has always been patient, gentle, and responsible. He understands that taking care of a pet is more than just playtime; it involves daily commitment, feeding schedules, grooming, exercise, and regular check ups. He’s proven time and again that he’s up to the task. His maturity, reliability, and kind heart make him someone any pet would be lucky to have. I have full confidence that marco will take excellent care of any pet entrusted to him.”

“Mackenzie has watched my dog, Ace, for me on many occasions. All my late days at work, trips, etc, Mackenzie is there for me in a heart beat. Ace is an Australian shepherd who has a ton of energy and is the very anxious type. Mackenzie is able to satisfy his needs of being active and also show him tons of loving to feel safe! Every time I get Ace after him spending time with Mackenzie, Ace is the happiest boy ever with the biggest smile. So grateful to have Mackenzie to help me out when I need to be extra help(:”
Beth C.
“Beth can absolutely be trusted to responsibly love and care for any and all pets. She adores every animal she encounters, and she is diligent in making sure they are fed, clean, entertained, and comfortable. She is patient and kind, and is not afraid to deal with pet messes. She is highly empathetic, and keenly aware if an animal is not feeling well, be it due to illness or issues of a more emotional nature. Most importantly, in my opinion, she is fully capable of taking quick and decisive action when it is needed: Even when awoken suddenly and faced with a dire emergency such as a furnace fire at a house we were staying at (at the homeowner’s request, of course) to house- and dog-sit, she was quick and effective in ensuring the safety of the dogs. She immediately got all three small dogs into their carriers (despite one of them being extraordinarily skittish), and got the fourth larger dog into his harness and leash, and got them out into her car while calling emergency services, then the homeowner. (The house was saved; the fire was confined within the furnace. Once the dogs were safe, I was able to find the source of the fire and cut power to the furnace, and the fire department was there quick enough to ensure it was fully extinguished and the house was safe) In summary, Beth is fully and unquestionably worthy of the absolute trust required to leave your beloved pets in her care, even under extreme circumstances.”
