“Charis was punctual and sent me a note and several pictures. Prior to the visit, she made this overprotective pet mom feel better by engaging in a video chat. As I ended up in the ER with my husband on the same day, Charis did not hesitate to accept my request for her to come back that night but it ended up not being necessary.”

About: I have taken care of pets for years. Including many cats, puppies and senior pups. Throw in a pig, fish, and guinea pigs that just need some cuddles and I'm in my happy place. I work part time in Woodstock, so this leaves me with plenty of time to pet, sit and play with your fur babies. If you need just a few walks or a someone for them to cuddle up with at night, I'm your gal! I have two dogs of my own. While I do not have a fenced in yard, I am happy to take dogs out on leashes. I also have a full dog room for if I have to leave where they will be safe and in their own crate. The "Dog Domaine" is complete with sound machine, lamp and lots of natural light.
“Ciera took excellent care of Falkor. She sent pictures to let us know how he was doing during the week we were out of town. We would definitely book with her again when we are away.”

“Kathy is the absolute best. Mac, my cat, absolutely loved her time with Kathy. She provided great pictures and made sure Mac stayed happy and healthy while I was away. Kathy is definitely someone I can trust to love my baby like her own and I cannot recommend her enough.”

“I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dogs! She was an angel. I have big dogs that tend to bark quite a lot and she immediately was able to calm them down and bond with them. Sent numerous photos throughout the entire time we were away and gave plenty of updates. I would not go to anybody else!!”

About: I have had big dogs and cats since I was born. I know how awful it can be to leave your pet at home. I want to be able to give your pet all the love and care he or she needs to make their family leaving as stress free as possible. I work from home and have a lot of free time. I can visit homes almost anytime any day of the week. My schedule is very flexible to the pets needs. I can follow any direction given to me about how take care of your pet. I will make sure to walk all pets at least twice a day and have at least a couple hour of playtime.
“Shelby met with us before we hired her and was good with our dogs in person. She did mid-day breaks two days in a row while we were unable to be at home. She navigated two energetic youngsters and a senior pup. Will use again.”

“I cannot review Emmanuel high enough on how well he took care of our fur babies. He is great with animals. He’s professional, calm, attentive and really just a godsend to us in finding someone we trust our pets with. We will most definitely be utilizing his services again. Five stars hands down!”

“Catie did amazing with watching our cat, Avery. Catie sent lots of pictures while we were away and even brought her kids along to keep Avery entertained. We would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Molly took great care of our boys. She left detailed notes and documented with lots of photos. It was nice to not worry about them while we were away. Molly went above and beyond for our fur babies and we are so grateful.”

“Since Stout’s diagnosis, we’ve never felt truly at ease leaving him or Skyy — until now. Having you in their lives (and ours) has changed everything. We’re so deeply grateful for your care, compassion, and the comfort you’ve brought to our family.”

“I adopted Rachel, a 14-year-old mini dachshund, last October. She’s deaf and mostly blind and she needed special TLC while I attended my nephew’s wedding on Saturday. I met Gina in person when she came for the first visit. She was a lovely person and I immediately felt very comfortable with leaving Rachel in Gina‘s care! Gina came for two separate visits. She made friends with her as soon as she came in the door. Rachel is a very gentle dog and because she has the handicaps I did not want to leave her alone all day. Gina also provided me with two lovely pictures of Rachel outside and eating her food. Rachel was fine when I came home and I’m so glad that Gina was able to take care of her for me. I was able to enjoy my nephew‘s beautiful wedding knowing that Rachel had Company and Care. I will definitely use Gina again and I I would recommend Gina to anyone who needs someone to give their pet real TLC!”

About: I’ve been a dog sitter since I was 10, neighbors relied on me to feed and walk their pets. We’ve had dogs in our family for twenty years. I’m experienced with large and small dogs as well as dogs with seizures and heart problems. Hi! I’m a part-time employee with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time during the day for drop-ins, walks, or snuggles with your pup. I also welcome overnight guests, so whether you need quick check-ins or extended care, I’ve got you covered. Your pets will get lots of love, attention, and play while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard that will keep your fur babies safe. I live on a culdasac that has limited traffic and a neighborhood with beautiful areas to walk along the sidewalk. I typically walk my goldens 1.5 miles a day. I have a baby gate that prevents the dogs from going upstairs if needed, and another gate at the stop of the stairs to prevent them from going down if stairs are a problem for your fur baby. Dogs are like people in our home, always with us, cuddling on the couch and sleeping in our rooms. I crate trained my dogs as puppies and am familiar and comfortable with crates if one is dropped off.
“Samantha was very professional and took great care of our kitties while we were out of town! We missed them a lot but it was comforting to know she was there to love on them while we couldn’t be. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”

“Ailen was amazing with my sweet Izzy, who absolutely loved her. It was love at first sight, for sure! Ailen sent me pictures & videos, the whole time I was away at an event & it was evident that Izzy was having so much fun & felt right at home with Ailen. Can’t wait for her to come back next month, when we need to go out of town overnight. I highly recommend Ailen for your sweet dog too! 😊”

About: I've had doggies since I was 8, and I've helped take care of other people's pups since I was 12. I've had lots of experience with the elderly and disabled pups as well. I have had training experience, but am not quite experienced enough to call myself a trainer. If there is training you would like to continue working on with your pups, I will do my absolute best to help in any way I can. Ps. I have a beautiful 10-year-old husky and pointer mix named Skye, she is who you see in the photo! I am a college student with a part-time remote job, so my schedule is very open. I would love a job that would help me get outside more often and spend some time with animals! I am a huge animal lover; Fur babies truly make the world go around! While right now I can't take your fur babies into my home. I have a lot of experience in pet sitting for fur babies in other people's homes, and I will respect any boundaries you set. I completely understand that having a safe person with your animals and in your home is the top priority, and I will do everything I can to make you and your animals feel safe, whether just for walks or longer-term sitting stays.
