1. Mario C.
“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!”
2. Isabelle d.
“Isabelle was very prompt in responding to my communication. She seemed very comfortable around the dogs when she first met them and made me feel confident that they would be taken care of with love and responsibility. She left my home in pristine condition!”
3. Faith M.
“Faith watched our dog R2 for approximately 1 week. She took the time to become acclimated with his surroundings before we left. She also spent time getting him to trust her before we left. This was a huge relief as R2 does not warm up to people very easily. She spent much time throwing a ball(which is R2s favorite activity) but also took him for walks. She let me know (as scheduled with her in advance) just how he was doing. I would recommend Faith to care for your pet as i will be using her in the future also.”
4. Emily G.
“Emily is fabulous! She has worked with Cats, Dogs, Donkeys, and Horses just to name a few. She loves them all. She has an ability to truly understand how they are feeling about stuff. She talks to them like people. I honestly have never seen an animal respond to her in a negative way.”
5. Erica J.
“Erica loves animals and Luna loves people so I was comforted by several updates with pictures. Luna was happy. And Erica took her to the coffee shop for a pup cup! Luna knows her way around the drive thru circuit for milk bones and ice cream 😉 But the real drama was calling her at the last minute and she was able to take care of Luna during a holiday. Another sitter on Rover was booked but recommended Erica and you know the rest of the story. Luna was happy when I came home ❤️ Thanks again Erica!”
6. Kathleen S.
“Kathleen is absolutely amazing with our fur babies. She always comes when she says she will. She gives them extra love and attention and she insures their safety. We wouldn't trust our 3 dogs and 4 cats with anyone else!”
7. Joshua S.
“Joshua is the most determined person I’ve ever met. He is intelligent but most of all he uses that intelligent well to be very clear. However, he does have his flaws. He has a confidence, although well-founded, it is hard to overlook. However, when you need him to be there he will be there.”
8. Kelsey B.
“Kelsey is wonderful with animals! She truly cares about what she is doing and you can see in her attention to detail. One of my fur babies is on medication and she took the time to throughly learn how to adminster the medicine. Your pets are in good hands with her!”
9. Alayna I.
“After a previous bad experience with a pet sitter, we are picky about who we ask to care for our fur babies. Nothing to fear with Alayna, who has been one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had!! She’s been communicative with us, sends updates and photos every day, and I can tell my pets absolutely love her (even my independent old dog has warmed up to her!). We are so thrilled to have connected with someone who clearly takes pride in her work in caring for pets. Will definitely be using her for all our sitting needs.”
10. Brittany K.
“Brittany shows so much love, care and compassion with my dog Ruger. She truly treats him as if he is her own. Always keeps me up to speed on when she arrives and leaves and send tons of pictures.”
11. Julie C.
“Wonderful job taking care of my girls. What an absolute gem for me and the fur babies. Thanks alot Julie!!!!”

I have one child that’s in Football so between practices I can take dogs for walks. Very flexible Artist.

13. Danielle G.
“Danielle has cared for our precious fur babies many times over the years. She’s been out go-to walker and sitter whenever the need arises and she’s available. She always goes the extra mile with love and attention and both of our dogs absolutely adore her! She also does an especially good job with Desi, our border collie. He requires a lot of exercise during walks, and she’s always extra cognizant of that with him and plays ball with him to help try and wear him out lol! We so appreciate her attention and empathy when it comes to our dogs. I would highly recommend Danielle and her dog care services to everyone! She does an amazing job and your pets will love her!”
14. Robin C.
“Robin has been a great caregiver for our dachshund. He is a bit shy and doesn’t go to many other places but he feels right at home with her. She has a spacious, clean home with a nice backyard and I trust her completely. She kept me updated via text and even offered to have me FaceTime with my dog while we were traveling if needed.”
15. Trinity B.
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life. From the moment I was born I grew up with Doberman Pinschers so big dogs don’t scare me off. Just recently I’ve gotten a miniature dachshund and she is the best of friends with my current male Doberman. I live up to the challenge if you have a dog with some health issues. I’ve been through it personally with my own so if I need to administer medication it’s no problem at all. Potty breaks I make sure are frequent as I’m still trying to potty train my little one as she’s very stubborn about it. I welcome working with cats as well! I’ve never had one, however, I have lots of family and friends who do for which I am constantly around. If you also have pets that aren’t cats or dogs I would love to help you out! More often available on the weekends or a day during the week on Wednesday on my days off from work. If you have specific days in mine I will need to know ahead of time. I can stop by early in the morning before work and then after work (no more than 9 hours at most between) I have not yet cared for clients pets in my own home, looking to build up a bigger portfolio before doing moving forward with that
16. Scott S.
“Scott loves animals and takes very good care of them. Your pets will be in good hands with him. He is very experienced and compassionate.”
17. Amie F.
About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.
18. Charity Z.
About: I was raised as a dog lover. We always had dogs in the house growing up and often took in stays to care for them. I am 100% against animal cruelty. I am a stay at home mom with much free time so my hours are flexible to care for you and the needs of your pup. I have a large front and backyard to roam in. My house dogs often go out to play or sun bath, however there is no fence.
19. Jeff H.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats, all of my life. I was a police officer and Sheriff for 32 years. I’ve dealt with most all animals. I love them all!! I’m currently a retired sheriff. I work part time for American Airlines about 20 hours per week in Bloomington, and working on a license to sell real estate as a part-time job in Livingston County. And I have been a police officer, since I was 18 years old. I am very trustworthy and honest. I’ve grown up around many types of animals and feel comfortable around them.

“Natalie has always been ready to come over and take care of my cat Fizzy for when I’m out of town. She’s comfortable with being around animals and treats them like her own. Definitely someone who you can depend on.”
