“We would definitely use Rachael again! She was great with all 3 of our dogs - even the little Chihuahua mix who has a bad habit of going potty in our mud room! She sent us pictures of the pups and communicated with us while we were gone and even played with our ferrets! We highly recommend Rachael!”


“Sarah was the best sitter we could hope for for our very first pet sitter! She communicated throughout the day, everyday with pictures and updates. She really cares for your pet as if it were her own! I definitely recommend her!!!”


“Morgan was the best! She took amazing care of my puppy and kept my apartment super clean. She sent me photos every day while I was away & had excellent communication skills. I would 1000% use her in the future for my pup! Thank you Morgan for all you do!”


“Jason did a great job watching our German shepherd and our Lab He came out to meet them before and stayed 2 days and nights. Jason is reliable and a great sitter we will definitely use him again”


“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”


“Holly is so great!! She responds quickly, is reliable, responsible and on time. She left my house immaculate and really bonded with my cat (who hates people) and my dog. Highly recommend!! 💫”


“What a great experience, for me and my dog. Christina was awesome, she sent pictures daily and left a note for us at the end of her stay. My dog was well taken care of and loved while we were away! She is now my preferred dog sitter and will get repeat business from me.”


About: I am the go to pet sitter for all my friends and family, whether it’s vacation or work. Your pet will not be bored with me . I provide the best physical and mental stimulation for your fur babies! I have a very open and flexible schedule and am willing to work around your routine and schedule. Rain snow or shine! I’ll be there! I can completely adhere to your rules and provide them the utmost comfort, safety and love. Safety is my number one priority in any situation!

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.

About: I’ve have grown up in a house with both cats and dogs, very comfortable with large breeds of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually. I work full time and have availability usually everyday after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends as I have those off work. I will follow any house rules and will do what I can to make your pets comfortable with me being in their homes to help take care of them in any way that they need.

“Samantha went above and beyond taking care of our pets! Will definitely use her again”


About: Dog Lover by Nature, Technician by Trade 🐾💼 Hi! I’m a full-time Piping and Instrumentation Technician at an oil refinery — but my real full-time job is being a proud dog mom to two fluffy Samoyeds who run the house (and my heart). 🐶❄️ When I’m not checking valves and calibrating instruments, I’m happiest covered in dog fur and surrounded by wagging tails. I clock out at 4:30 PM and go straight into dog mode — ready for walks, belly rubs, and all the ear scratches your pup can handle! Weekends and evenings are when I turn my passion for animals into something I can share. Whether your dog needs a stroll, a snuggle, or a buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let me love your dog like I love mine — enthusiastically, responsibly, and with a pocket full of treats. 🐾❤️ • Weekdays: Available after 4:30 PM (Monday–Friday) — perfect for evening walks, cuddles, and dinner-time drop-ins. • Weekends: Full availability (Saturday & Sunday) for all your pet care needs, big or small. How I Care for My Own (Very Spoiled) Pups 🐶💅 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am! At home, I’ve got two fluffy Samoyeds who rule the roost, and I treat them like the royal (and slightly dramatic) snow dogs they are. I’m big on reading body language—every tail flick and side-eye tells a story. I always let the dog come to me first, especially when I’m in their space. It’s their territory, and I fully respect that! My pups eat like allergy-conscious kings: red meat-free kibble (sensitive tummies!), a splash of wet food for excitement, and daily vitamins to keep their coats shiny and their energy high. They get fed twice a day—7:00 AM sharp and 4:30 PM, just like clockwork. I make sure they get out for potty breaks at least 3–4 times a day, and I’m borderline obsessed with checking their water bowls (fluff equals thirst, especially in warm weather). Before I ever leave the house, I always do a quick scan to make sure there’s nothing they can chew, eat, knock over, or mysteriously destroy while I’m gone. Safety first! When I’m caring for someone else’s fur baby, I go by your rules and routines—but I treat them like my own: with love, patience, and the kind of care you’d expect for a four-legged child (because… they are).

About: Hello! My name is Brooklyn Elwood, and I am currently home for the summer before starting vet school! I have experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, livestock, and some exotics. I graduated with a degree in microbiology from Iowa State University and am now going to vet school in Minnesota. I have plenty of experience in case of medical emergencies, and I know how imperative it is to have a sitter who loves your animals like their own. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of this little piece of your family! Right now, I am home for the summer and work for the USDA during the day. I can stay at your home to ensure your pet isn't alone! I will be in Illinois until the end of August. Your pets' safety and comfort are of the utmost importance to me, and I will go to any length to ensure that they are happy and healthy in my care. While with your pet(s), I will monitor their behavior to determine if they are experiencing discomfort and will notify you immediately with any concerns. Moreover, I can crate your pet at night if you wish or they can sleep with me if allowed. I will make sure that your pet(s) gets plenty of mental stimulation through playtime or training (and also LOTS of love and attention!!).

“Erin is the BEST!!!! She connected so fast with my Annabelle (dog) She made sure she was well taken care of and spoiled her and now I’m spoiled lol. I won’t have anyone else watch my dog now. I was gone 4 days and didn’t worry at all.”



About: I grew up with both a cat and a dog, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I love spending time with friends’ pets and treat every animal like family. You can count on me to give your pet lots of love, attention, and reliable care while you're away. 🐾 I don’t have any pets currently, but when I did, I made it a priority to spend time with them every day. I would play with them regularly and made sure to take my dog out to socialize with her friends. At home, I provide a clean, safe space with regular feeding, fresh water, and daily play or walks. I monitor behavior and health closely. In a client’s home, I follow their routine carefully, keep the space clean, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind.

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!


About: I grew up with dogs in my childhood home the entire time living there. I have taken care of small five pound dogs to a large dog like the newfoundland and a great pyrenees. I currently have a Bernese Mountain Dog who loves others! She gets along with all dogs, small or large. Shes just a playful pup :) I am willing to take care of your dog just as well as I take care of mine! My availability will be based off yours :) I’m self employed so my availability will be off yours. 🙂 We do daily walks, lots of outside time. My pups love chasing after a cat laser toy in the house and outside in the evenings. I live in a Duplex with our own yard. It’s not fenced completely. It is a partial fence, but I do have dog tie outs. I’m outside with them the entire time. Plenty of dog toys, balls and room to roam.

“Alyssa is an amazing dog sitter I just wish I had found her sooner! She treated my dogs so very well and I would welcome her back into my home again with no hesitations!”

About: I’ve been with animals since a baby. My parents always had a bunch of animals and dogs were a big part of my life. Once I turned 18 I’ve added a bunch to my own little family. I have two dogs who travel with us and enjoy the outdoors so much. I also have many reptiles, small creatures, and two cats. I completely love the affection and bond created with animals.

Muhammed K.
“I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!”


Philip O.
“Philip took excellent care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were away on a week long vacation. He spent lots of quality time with all the animals and made sure they were all fed and well cared for. He sent us daily pictures of the pets. He administered our cat’s medication twice a day. He also watched the house, took out the trash and watered all our plants, I 100% recommend Philip and plan on using him every time we go out of town.”

Kelsey B.
“Kelsey has watched my cat Luna and my dog Lollipop on several occasions. Lolli is an extremely active dog who needs to be walked multiple times per day and requires lots of play time. Kelsey does an amazing job making sure these needs are met. Luna is a grouch who refuses to poop in the litter-box and has a biting problem, but this doesn't phase Kelsey! She is truly a rock star and my first choice for all my pet watching needs.”
