Brittney is fabulous! She was so willing to help us out super last-minute and took great care of our two pups, a 12 yo dachshund & 3 yo husky! They took to her as soon as she walked in the door for the meet & greet! We got pics and text updates throughout the 2 days she was with them. Definitely will call her again in the future and recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

Kara was great with all our dogs (and tortoise)! One of our dogs is old and needs insulin and a diaper and another is very stressed around strangers. Kara took the time to let the dogs get to know her and everything went really well.

CLAIRE was a 100/10!! Her care of our dog was absolutely amazing! He usually is very nervous and gets upset when we are away and he was so comfortable with her the entire time we were gone. It made our vacation 1000 times more relaxing. We can’t thank her enough!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!

About: I have had a dog since I was young and always make sure she is fed, comfy, groomed and bathed. I’ve helped neighbors with their pets as well. I’m available on weeknights and weekends. My schedule may vary so if I get a date and time I should be able to work it into my schedule. Anything to help!! I treat peoples pets as my own. Caring for their needs and loving on them. My own dog is named Sadie and she is a cockapoo. I love her so much. She makes everyday better for me. Caring for someone else’s pup while their owner is away wouldn't be a chore for me. I love all pets and will make sure they’re safe.

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

Shelbie went above and beyond again. We went from one low maintenance pup during her last visit to two high maintenance ones this time. She handled that and more with grace. You know you have found the right sitter when you feel they take better care of your pups than you do :) Thanks, Shelbie! The girls can't wait until our next trip.

About: I’ve worked as a vet tech for two years, caring for animals of all kinds — from large dogs to tiny exotics! I helped with boarding, feeding, walking, baths, and giving medications, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with different needs. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I truly love making them feel happy and safe while their owners are away. 😁🤎 I work full time, but my schedule allows plenty of time for pet care — I’m off Mondays and weekends, available after 5 PM on weekdays, and after 2 PM on Fridays. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, so I’d love to fill that space in my life by spending time with other people’s furry friends! I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s specific routine — including feeding, walks, medication, and playtime — and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. My vet tech experience helps me notice small details that keep pets healthy and happy.

Emma was the absolute best! She took care of our 19-yo cat as if she was her own! Our Gary missed us for sure but Emma made that missing us a little less with her care for her. I’m so incredibly thankful to her and would trust her every single time to watch our sweet girl. Thank you again, Emma.
