Rachel was great with our cats while we were away. She was able to give out medicine with no problems. She even had our shy cats coming out to check her out while we were gone.

Was so great squeezing us in last minute, went right over and let the dogs out. They had a blast with her, and she even messaged to get a towel to wipe their paws since it was wet out! Thank you!!!

Jenevieve was so good with my senior kitty. She took lots of pictures and followed up with me with messages. I felt very comfortable with her and would highly recommend her for watching your furry kids!

LOVE all the care Ash has with my cat, Gucci. I’m traveling for a month and Ash has been very communicative, helpful and supportive all the time. She answers me in a timely manner, send pictures and makes me feel safe with my choice of choosing her to take care of my cat. Best choice ever.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I do have a pup of my own, but am still sitting for those that are in need and don’t mind another dog in the home! I am also doing dog-walks and pop-ins! I work from home so your pup wont be alone. Weekends are usually open. I love all sizes and can’t help but spoil any one I meet! I have experience with both small and larger dogs. I would love to walk or jog with your pet, even if it is cold outside depending on what they can handle. Feel free to message me with any questions! I work for myself and from home so I am able to adjust my work schedule pretty well. No dogs have needed to be kenneled while working. I have a pup of my own that loves to play with others. If they do not get along, I have a gate at that can keep them separate-although I have not had this issue yet. We have a big crate that can home your pup when we are out of the house.

Even when we are having our typical terrible Midwest winter weather, Angie makes sure our animals are taken care of, and it is so nice to not have to worry when we can’t make it home.

This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!

Daniel was a great caretaker for our cats while we were away. He carefully followed all our weird instructions and house oddities and gave the cats lots of love. I would highly recommend him to others seeking reliable, loving care.

She did a wonderful job caring for my sick and yet very energetic husky. Super nice woman and a very good caretaker. My husky threw a temper tantrum when she saw me walk through the front door instead of Farra 😂

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and reptiles since I was a child and have volunteered in animal shelters. My passion is animals and my dog is the love of my life, and I cannot wait to share that love with your pets! My boy was VERY reactive when I first brought him home and we have been through multiple obedience classes together so I have experience with dogs of all temperaments and have special love for the ones who tend to be misunderstood. I am currently working full time but would love to take on caring for your pets on Friday evenings and on the weekends. My weekend availability is completely open! I live near a few parks that provide wonderful opportunities for walks with lots of spots to sniff and explore! I have experience medicating dogs if needed, kenneling them, and whatever other special needs they may have.

We love Rachel! We have a super old shy dog who usually doesn’t eat well when we’re gone, well not anymore! He’s ate like normal thanks to Rachel being such a great sitter for us. Our Cat Evie loves her too. We will always book Rachel for every trip!
