Top rated DeKalb house sitters

“Anja and Josh were so great. They have been excellent communicators throughout the entire process. They took time to come see the house, meet the dogs and asked lots of questions prior to their stay. They are so personable, very responsible and amazing with making the dogs feel at peace while we were gone. They sent us lots of pics and provided lots of updates. Would definitely have them watch our dogs again!”


“I wanted someone to watch our dog in our own home and I was so happy to find Ann. Ann did a great job with my senior dog. She texted and sent photos while I was gone. Ann was also very neat and clean and left our home just as it was. I will definitely use her again!”


“Bennett has been and continues to be a amazing sitter! He has compassion and caring for dogs, our included. He is very accommodating in terms of time, scheduling and the requests made by doting dog parents. He communicates clearly and keeps in contact so we know our dog is content and taken care of. He is an asset to his profession.”


“Claire did a wonderful job house/dog sitting our husky Zoey while we were out of town. I felt completely comfortable after meeting Claire for our meet and greet, and Zoey loved her too. Claire was communicative throughout the time we were away, sharing updates and pictures, and left the house tidy. Would re-book in the future without hesitation!”


“I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!”


“Megan is fantastic. She communicates really well and supported me with some change of plans in the middle of my trip. She is kind, caring and an amazing woman. She put me at ease and Abby just loved her. She was even looking out the window for an hour after Megan left! Definitely recommend.”


“Vlad was professional, on time, and kept us updated throughout the booking. Its was comforting having Vlad and Madi stay the weekend in our home and care for our 3 dogs. Vlad & Madi gave our dogs plenty of walks and attention. We'd definitely recommend and will use them again.”


About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

“Kellie was so great with our boy, Tyson for a weekend. She communicated clearly before the trip, during our trip (we loved the updates!), and after. She was respectful of our home and a perfect house guest. Tyson was immediately comfortable with her and we were so comforted knowing he was not only being taken care of, but really loved on, while we were gone. We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.”


“Emma was life saver for our honeymoon! We were able to enjoy our week because we knew our babies were being well cared for and loved on. I have an older pup who needs extra care and Emma was able to manage all of her needs. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone ☺️ our pups will definitely see her again.”


“We cannot recommend Angela highly enough! Angela provided peace of mind during our vacation and our four furry kids were calm and happy when we returned. It is clear that they were happy, cared for, and stress-free while we were gone. One of our dogs is a bit more nervous than the others, so Angela dropped in a few times leading up to our trip to help our pup get used to her. I cannot imagine this experience going any better!”


About: I have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors! I have no problem following rules, being flexible, and going above and beyond for you and your fur babies! I am a grad student working full time. I am available on evenings and weekends. My current apartment does not allow me to board but I am available for house sitting and walking. My current apartment does not allow me to board but I am available for house sitting and walking and all other services that are needed!

“Ivy really went above and beyond for me today and honestly saved my trip from the beginning. I needed to leave a day earlier than I originally planned and Ivy accommodated a booking into her schedule a day earlier. When she arrived (on time both times) however my gremlin of a dog gave her 30-45 minutes of terror in which she sat on the floor to show she wasn’t a threat. We communicated and agreed she’d try again a couple hours later after he finished a bone I stupidly gave him before I walked out of the door. Her patience and skill kept me from having to turn around and drive 6 hours home and cancel my trip. When she came back he acted as a grown dog and she was able to walk and feed him! Based on these events I would hire Ivy again and suggest her to other pet parents.”


About: I’ve taken care of my family dog and dogs of family friends since I was in middle school. I grew up with a beagle and I was always responsible for walking, feeding, and giving her baths. I’m currently a student in college who doesn’t have a job during the school year which leaves me with some free time during the day/ evenings to walk and care for dogs. I can easily travel to your house to walk or care for you dog. My house is also very dog friendly and my neighborhood is filled with sidewalks making it very convenient for dog walking.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and many other pets as well. I have also worked at a pet resort for over a year. I can provide senior dog care, I can care for aggressive dogs, scared dogs and even some with disabilities. I can also provide nail trimmings and nail grinds for your furry friends as well!!! I am out of school and graduated so I am pretty much free at all times of the day as well as weekends and holidays if needed!!! I do not own any dogs as of now, waiting on my own furry friend to come in September!!! As of right now I have my cat Dior.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and deep understanding of animal care. I grew up with dogs—specifically Alaskan Malamutes—and helped my parents care for them, giving me hands-on experience with large, strong, and high-energy breeds. I’ve also been my sister’s go-to caregiver for her dog, looking after her consistently from the puppy stage into adulthood whenever she’s away. In addition to my experience with dogs, I currently care for six cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline behavior, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s feeding, litter box upkeep, medication, or just giving them the right kind of attention, I know how to create a calm and comfortable environment for cats as well. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely care about making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in their owner’s absence. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I currently care for six cats of my own, so feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, giving affection, and monitoring behavior are all built into my daily routine. I'm also used to looking after my sister’s dog when she’s away, which means I regularly take time for walks, playtime, and keeping up with their needs. Whether it's mornings, evenings, or weekends, I have the flexibility and experience to provide consistent, attentive care that fits seamlessly into my schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that mirrors their usual routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box or potty breaks, and any special needs like medications or extra cuddles. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s keeping your home clean and respected or making my own space feel like a second home for your furry friend. Regular updates and photos are always part of the care, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
