2. Kim R.


“We are delighted to have Kim stay in our home and care for our Stella. Stella was her usual self, happy to see us and with no changes in her behavior. The house was spotless after Kim’s 9 day stay. We look forward to rebooking Kim in the future.”


3. Michelle K.

“Michelle took good care of our three dogs while we were away. We were happy that they could be comfortable in their own home and she kept the place clean. Did a meet and greet beforehand and she was always on time. Michelle provided updates and sent pictures daily.”


4. Abbigail H.

“Abbigail was attentive to the pups and had quick responses and updated through the chat. Would use her services again in the future it needed!”


5. Pamela H.

“AAAAA++++ If you need an amazing, responsible, tuned in house/pet sitter look no further. We are incredibly grateful that Pam could fit us in her schedule and on short notice. She went above and beyond to make sure our scared cat (who hides from new people), got food in her system while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures that put us at ease. Our pets were so comfortable in her presence they looked for her when we got home. Our cats are older, grumpy and have various diets and important asthma medications -we appreciate her attention to detail so our pets could get what they needed following our similar routines. The house was cleaner than we left it, plants watered and happy kitties. We will definitely be using Pam again for a stress free vacation.”

8. Chloe S.

“Again, Clohe is the best dog sitter we’ve had. She was calm with our very anxious pup and we’re fast friends. Our flight got delayed we were stuck in Chicago for an extra day but she was totally understanding and made sure our dog was checked on during the day while we tried getting back. My only issue is o couldn’t tip her enough through the app!”

“House was clean, dogs were happy, and she handled the medical issues of our older lab very well. Very pleased with Emily and will book her again!”


10. Evan O.
“Evan has taken care of our cat Milo on multiple occasions. He is reliable, thorough and loving to our furry family member. Evan has great communication skills and isn't afraid to ask questions to clarify he totally understands what we are asking of him. I would highly recommend him for pet care.”


11. Brianna H.

“Brianna has been truly amazing with our dog Siena. She has instantly connected with Siena and has been wonderful taking care of her with ease and confidence. She stayed in touch with frequent updates as well. Very highly recommend!”


12. Liz E.

“Liz was so so great! We have a chaotic pack of four dogs, and Liz handled all of their chaos with ease. She sent us frequent updates, played and spent time with them outside, and overall took incredible care of them. All of the pups clearly loved her, even the girls who take a while to warm up to new people. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and cannot recommend her enough!”

14. Megan H.

“Megan was amazing with our two dogs, Fizzgig and Barley! She was always giving us updates and sending photos. We came home to a very clean home, thanks to Megan.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters we love taking out the dogs on walks and are very active especially with the kiddos since we normally go on walks with the kiddos on there scooters. I drop off my kiddos at school Monday-Friday from 7:50 to 8:20 then I come home get stuff done around the house start dinner. I have a regular routine when it’s during the week and on weekends we will take kiddos out to park go to grandmas farm. If we go on a walk I’ll always have the dog on a leash and I’ll have water available to make sure they stay hydrated at all times where ever we go. I have experience giving dogs their medicine. I am very aware of the needs they need met & will do everything to make sure they have a safe stay in our home.


19. Camden F.

“One of our dogs is a rescue and is tends to be very nervous with new people. He took to Camden with no issues. Both dogs enjoyed hanging out with him. Camden sent lots of pictures, videos, and generally took great care of the dogs, would definitely rebook in the future.”
