“Ann is so kind. She’s able to help my boyfriend and I out on a weekly basis when we have work conflicts. We are new to the area so she has been extremely helpful in our work/life transition. She has never failed to be there for our pups to let them out and give them love. Wonderful woman!”

“Sam was great! I have two very timid chihuahuas and she spent so much time trying to make sure they were comfortable. She got my little old lady, Lucy to go out—my shy boy Myles was another story. lol. He’s a tough one to get close to. Sam was amazing though, I’m confident Myles will warm up to her. We will try again soon!! ❤️”

“We needed someone to drop by the house and let our 2 big dogs out for several days and wanted to give Rover a try. I met with Stephanie beforehand and exchanged a house key. She was courteous, respectful and responsible! I highly recommend booking with Stephanie! She sent daily pics of the dogs and gave a glowing review of their behavior and how her visit went. This made me so happy that they were well taken care of while I was away. I was reassured that my dogs were in great hands and that Stephanie was capable of handling these bullies. Thank you a million!”


“Julie is so great to work with. We had a complex case with a pup having a recent broken leg, and everything went well. We immediately felt confident and comfortable having Julie in our home while we were away!”

“Tracy such a sweet person, she always takes such good care of buddy and I am very fortunate to have found her through this app. She has been a huge help for me with my very hectic work schedule.”

“Amanda saved the day when we had a sitter back out. She was flexible and took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away by visiting. She sent some of the best photos we have of our dogs. They were well cared for and we will definitely trust Amanda again in the future!”

“Erin does an amazing job; our greyhound Happy just loves her! She is professional and communicates very well. She's thoughtful and respectful of our home, making sure feet are clean and things are tidy. Erin is quick to respond to requests for help and flexible when my schedule changes. I can confidently recommend Erin.”

“John was wonderful with our energetic boxer puppy! I highly recommend him. When we came home, she greeted us with excitement and love as usual. Then she ran around our house looking for her new friend, John!”

“Lauren responded quickly when we needed someone to look after our dogs on a short notice. She arrived at the scheduled time and provided us with updates throught the drop-in session along with photos. Thank you Lauren!”

About: I've owned and taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a little girl. From birds, to cats and dogs, to horses, and even snakes, big or small I love em all! I'm a travel bartender that works different music festivals all across the country. Now that season has come to a close, I couldn't think of a better way to fill my newly empty schedule than caring for your furry loved ones! I have one cat and one dog who is kennel trained. I walk my dog a minimum of twice a day in my quaint suburban neighborhood and my cat is very good with other animals.

“Megan has helped us twice now to check in on our kitties while we’ve been out of town. She has excellent communication and really takes genuine care to make sure our cats are doing well. Highly recommended! :-)”

“Isabel was a dream come true. From the very first contact, she was pleasant, caring, and very responsive. Our two dogs got two daily feeding visits and walked while we were away for ten days. She treated our fur babies as if they were her own, always reassuring, kind, and consistent. She provided us with additional complimentary services such as watering the plants, bringing in the mail, and cleaning and mopping the basement due to daily bathroom accidents. When the fireworks got bad, she made an effort to stay beyond the time allocation to soothe the babies. She treated one of our puppies scrape on her nose with daily care and attention. While away, we got detailed daily reports in real-time and plenty of pictures of our pups eating, walking, and playing. We are so happy to have met Isabel, someone our dogs love and trust while we travel. We look forward to using her services again in the near future.”

“Olivia was amazing with my cat Charley. He was well taken care of! Loved the multiple pictures every visit, would definitely recommend her and use for future pet sitting needs!”


About: I have worked for two zoos, 2 emergency clinics and hospitals that focused on cat, dog and exotics from rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, geckos, tarantulas, ferrets, beardies, chinchillas, fennecs, prairie dogs, birds, axolotls, ect. I have training in senior cat and dog care and animal behavior training as well as vaccine and injection experience. I graduated from Joliet Junior College as a Veterinary Technician and I have petsat many dogs, cats, herps and small mammals. I'm strict with lists and rules and I love playing and giving treats. All animals are my friends including your tarantula! I love working with animals and I love working with pet parents. I have a large reference sheet with people who swear by me and know that their furry (or scalie) family member is in caring, professional, loving hands. If you're looking for a trusted, well rounded, experienced vet tech, then I'm your sitter!! If you don't like leaving your baby home alone, ask me about boarding!! I board ***most*** exotics and cats! (I don't board dogs, birds, aquatics, or larger exotics, please ask me for details) I will talk to you first to make sure my schedule fits into your animals' needs. If my schedule does not match your pets' needs, then I will kindly decline your offer as your pets' needs come before me. I want to see you matched with the best sitter you can find. I will sit for your furry (or scalie) baby at your own home, so your rules are law! If your doggy needs to be crated, I will do that! If your kitty needs insulin shots, I have experience in that! Does your baby need 500 mLs of fluid? You're in the right hands! Does your flowers need to be watered? Tell me what a hydrangea looks like and I will water it!!

Hande Ü is an amazing cat sitter! She took care of my cat for a couple of weeks. The cat is playful and coming to meet strangers now. Clearly, she cared and played with her! 😊 The cat’s area was clean & organized, the house didn’t have the litter smell., which means that she kept the litter box diligently. We are thankful to Hande! She’s kind, efficient, and organized!

My cats, raised by a feral mom, while not standoffish, aren’t super sweet to every one, but of every one they have met they seem to be the most excited to see Melanie. So whatever magical cat powers she has, it works on them. She takes good care of them and they are always well adjusted and happy when I return home from extended trips and so I highly recommend Melanie as a sitter.

As always, Veronika went above and beyond for our boy. He recently got diagnosed with asthma, and before this trip, since she previously had not worked with an asthma kitty, she came over to learn how to give our cat his inhaler, and from what I have heard, he tolerated her giving him his inhaler twice a day very well. She is always so gentle with him and he loves her!

What a treat to have gotten help with our dog from Erin.. she was so sweet & kind, clearly caring & considerate of whatever we may need, & noticed and discrepancy I wrote that could've caused a timing issue. We loved that she was so easy to communicate with & it felt obvious right away that she had our (& our pup's) best interest at heart, ultimately going above and beyond so that my wife & I could really just not think twice about how Zara was doing while we continued on [without our dog] at our wedding venue for the rest of the evening. She was the absolute best, & even her husband joined to help her with the task we had asked her to help with just so things would go as smoothly as possible. If felt like family came by to swoop her up & care for her/help her transition away from partying it up at our wedding to hangin at home with her pal. Really couldn't be more grateful. Thank you guys so much for helping with this. It meant a lot to us!
