Top rated Cresco house sitters
“Jen was an outstanding cat sitter. She accepted my last minute request and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. My cat requires multiple medications throughout the day, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was kind, attentive, and even took the initiative to research my cat’s condition to better understand his needs. Coming home to a clean house and litter box was so nice after a long day of travel. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommended!”

“This was Sarah’s second stay with our dogs and it was another excellent experience. Her communication continued to be excellent as she provided check ins and photos of the dogs while we were away. House was neat and tidy upon our arrival. Dogs were happy and loved their stay with Sarah!”


“This was a last minute booking, and then the details changed the day before due to a member of my family being hospitalized. Wilfred rolled with the changes and adjusted when to arrive and leave my house in order to give my pup a nice intermission from being stuck at home alone. Very communicative, conscientious, and punctual, with a genuine love and care for animals. Will definitely book again when needed.”

“Andrew did a great job house sitting for our 3 pups. He was very patient with our German Shepherd (she has separation anxiety), and confident that she would eventually adjust to him being there- and she did! She even slept near Andrew! Andrew sent photos daily of the pups! They were in great hands! We would feel very comfortable leaving our pups with Andrew again! Also, our house was kept very neat upon our return home.”

“Cristel is absolutely fantastic! Inga loves her and so do we ❤️❤️! She is SO loving to our dog and communicates very well as to how our girl is doing, even asking about our trip! I would give Cristel more stars, if I could!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for several years and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand the importance of keeping owners updated and treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a college student on break and work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a safe and positive experience for every pet. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tara was a huge help with my anxious dog. Spent the night with my pup andwas attentive to any special instructions I left for my pup. Definitely will be booking with Tara in the future. Thanks fursitter”

“Andrew is the best! He was very attentive to our cats and send photos daily. We weren’t worried at all! Communication was wonderful and no issues at all. Would highly recommend him.”

About: I'm a caring individual who genuinely loves dogs. I have owned dogs for over 10 years of my life with breeds ranging from golden retrievers, to border collies, to a Maltese mix. I have done clicker-training and was told that I was a natural by the trainer I worked with. I find the work of understanding animal behavior to be incredibly interesting and rewarding. I am an honest and kind person with the desire to write books and attend grad school in order to become a professor. I put a lot of time and care into my work and I think that this type of job is perfect for me! I'm a compassionate, scholarly, book loving - introvert type person. I am also very active: running, hiking, and working out are some of my necessary activities.
“This was our first time booking Shelby and she was awesome. Pepper had a great weekend and the house was immaculate. She even left a beautiful drawing of Pepper in our guestbook! Will definitely use her services again.”

“5 STARS!!!!! We absolutely love booking with Arianna, and our two dogs love her even more. We have so much peace of mind leaving them at home with her; we know they are in safe and incredibly capable hands. We were out of town for under two weeks, and knowing we had someone at home taking care of and loving our babies just like we would made our trip even better! We highly recommend booking Arianna to watch your fur babies, and we can't wait to book her again in the future!”

About: I have had cats since I was born! I have many years of experience and consider myself well versed when it comes to kitties. I have taken care of many cats in my lifetime and am comfortable with all personalities and needs. Even "difficult" kitties become my friend in no time. I currently have 5 cats, two who have medical needs. Time and experience has helped me become knowledgeable in taking care of cats who may require special care such as medicine administration and senior needs. I work full time as a medical assistant and I am also a licensed massage therapist. Compassion and attention to detail come naturally to me! I provide stress free care for your pets while you're away. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm. I can do after work drop ins/feedings on the weekdays. I am available on the weekends for house sitting and longer visits. I know how important routine is. Your pet thrives off having their routine thrown off as little as possible. My goal is give the best care possible while honoring their space.
“Maurie has been a dream petsitter...she has a sixth in dealing with animals. Ever since we first contracted with Maurie to stay in our home and care for our four pets (two cats and two dogs), we've noticed distinct positive outcomes. Our pets are visibly calmer, happier, more rested, and less agitated and anxious. They all appear healthier and more trim. Maurie promotes long walks and consistent interaction with them, and she doesn't overdue giving them treats. Maurie is the greatest person...we recommend her wholeheartedly as a petsitter! Shawn and Jen McGlynn”

“I felt extremely safe leaving my anxious pup with Thalia! I was updated during the day and was very reassured when I expressed concern about Morti’s behaviors. Definitely going to book with Thalia again!”

About: I love taking care of fur babies and I had a 120lb Great Pyrenees and mini schnauzer myself. As an experienced dog handler, I'll be sure your dog gets excersize, stays safe, and is taken care of and loved when you're gone. Whatever your dogs needs, just let me know and I will be sure to provide for them and send daily pictures too! Walk, play, bathe, visit, cuddle, or stay overnights. If you are training your dog I can continue it so they get all the practice while you're gone. Anything else, feel free to ask with a message! Please include in your messages your pets schedules and any special care, training, or behavior instructions to note. I work from home so pets usually stay around me the whole day! I get breaks to take them out and play. Home dinner time and wind down before sleep. Fenced yard, will walk on leash around neighborhood, crate is great to bring if they are used to sleeping in it, I let them go in and out as they please
About: Taking care of your pet, as if you were taking care of my one year old, beagle mix puppy that I do have at home! Currently I have a very easy, open and flexible schedule. You and yours will be my #1 priority. My routine always works around you, and your furry friend. Depending on what services are needed, I am very open for different service options. I have no problem crating animals if needed/wanted. Treat/feed options as well.
About: Hi there! I would love to have the honor of taking care of your fur babies! I have plenty of experience considering I have 9 dogs of my own... yes 9! Two big dogs and the rest are small to medium sized. So I am basically a dog walker at my own house just without the pay, haha. I am a recent college graduate from ESU with a BA in musical theatre but I would love to in the future become a veterinarian someday. My schedule is open and I also have my own transportation! I would describe myself as very reliable, kind, and caring. I hope you consider me to be your pups dog walker, I can promise you they will be in good hands!(:
