“Heather was a great pet sitter. She left detailed notes (and pictures) that showed she really understood each of our dogs and their personalities. She made us feel comfortable that our dogs were well cared for during our trip.”
“Margaret is the best the sitter I've come across on this app. So attentive and keeps me updated. Such a peace of mind to have someone like her watching my babies. 100% recommend.”
“As always, Isabel took great care of our two cats and gave us so much peace of mind when one of them gave us a little health scare. She was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to make sure that they were well and that we were updated every step of the way. It's clear that Isabel has a passion to care for animals, and we always appreciate the attention, knowledge, and thoughtfulness she puts into her visits (and our cats do too)!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I've been able to drive, along with owning dogs all my life! I enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them and comforting them when their owners are away! I also volunteer at the Weat Suburban Humane Society! I'm pretty flexible with hours, Mondays and Tuesdays are the only days of the week that I can't walk dogs during the day, however late afternoon still works! I have extra leashes, harnesses and creates if needed, but will treat anything with respect and care as if it were mine own. I'm flexible to a range of schedules and dog personalities
“Sophia is awesome. We are so lucky to have found her. She is punctual, flexible and wonderful with our dog, Pixy. Pixy is a stubborn senior who knows what she wants and Sophia makes sure Pixy gets it. Whether it’s a walk and a snack or just some company, I know she’s in great hands with Sophia.”
“Amanda did a great job stopping by to let our two pups out while we were out of town. We had almost no cell service where we were, but Amanda provides the peace of mind that our dogs will be well cared for while we are gone!”

About: I have grown up around dogs since I was born. I have always loved caring for and interacting with dogs. I do not have my own dog currently, but would love to help care for others! I am currently substitute teaching at an elementary school, so there may be weekdays I am unavailable. I am currently not working full time, so I will be available to walk your dog(s) throughout the week! I am open to walking as far as needed for your pup. I have experience safely walking more energized dogs, so your dog will be in good hands! I have also walked up to 3 dogs at a time (various sizes) if you have more than one that needs to be walked a time.

I follow all instructions carefully and treat every pet like family.
About: I've grown up with dogs all of my life. From puppies to seniors, small and big, I've taken care of them all.

About: I’ve boarded two dogs before at my own place and I have cat sat at a few owners houses before. I’m responsible and will communicate when I check in on your loved pets. As tax, I will always send a photo of your pet as well every time I check in on them and truly enjoy spending some playtime with them as well. I live by a little lake that’s great for walks too! I currently have a full time job but I am flexible for both before and after work to make time to care for your furry family members. I’m willing to move my furniture around to fit your pets crate, food & water bowl. My couch and bed are open for cuddles if you allow your pet bed/couch time but can reinforce it’s not okay while on vacation if you don’t. I let the pets enjoy a Netflix experience by putting on YouTube videos of animal footage they might enjoy.
“Hollie was great! She sat with our senior dog to give her a break when I was having a long work day. She was on time. Gave the treat I asked her to and sent me pics. My dog doesn’t usually rake to new people but she warmed up to Hollie right away. I told her she probably wouldn’t go outside but Hollie got her to go. Will definitely use Hollis again.”

Heather & Israel B.
“I've known Heather for about 16 years, she is one of the most genuine, caring, and sweetest people I've ever met! Something we have in common is our big love for animals. She has always been an AMAZING dog owner. Her dog Diamond is around 15 years old, she has always taken great care of her. Grooming, training, walks, contests, photoshoots, trips together, wherever Heather is Diamond is! That's what a true dog lover is to me, someone who really understands that dogs are family, they love you selflessly, and they aren't here for a long time, so we should always treat them preciously. Heather does just that! I would 100% trust her with my two fur babies!”
Stephanie B.
“Stephanie watched my dog for 5 days while we were at a family reunion. She was more than helpful and worked around our schedule. She was extremely accommodating, kind, and responsible. When we came to pick up, our pup seemed very happy and comfortable with her. I highly recommend using her services for your pets.”
