“Hannah was exceptional - she made time to come meet us, brought treats, sent several updates during her stay , and left behind the sweetest little gift. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Elena was amazing with my puppy, she is super sweet, kind and knowledgeable which made it 100% more comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. Elena was very accommodating with scheduling, she watched Jake for three days during my stay in Vegas. I received plenty of updates and photos of Jake throughout visits. I will definitely book Elena in the future! 🐾”

“Jill was a life saver! I needed someone to take care of my husky the very next day and luckily Jill was available and willing to help us out on very short notice! Jill did a meet and greet and my dog, Kane, fell in love with her immediately. Animals can definitely tell when someone is an animal lover and Jill definitely is! We needed someone to house sit Kane early in the morning, like 6 am early! And Jill was right on time. I love her pleasant attitude and positive energy. When we were leaving Jill was very smart to think it would be easier to give Kane a walk while we left the house, which it was. Jill comes prepared with an eager, energetic outlook. She is so friendly, kind, and easy to talk to. We were completely confident that Kane was in safe hands. We love Jill and recommend her to anyone and everyone that could use her services. We will definitely be reaching to Jill again for our next service needs. Thank you Jill!”

“Randi did a wonderful job caring for our Shibas. They clearly enjoyed her company and attention. She was very responsive, which gave me great peace of mind. Our Shibas have definitely gained a new sitter, and I highly recommend her!”

“Stephanie was amazing with my pups! My bigger boy can be protective and barky when he doesn’t know someone so it was important to me that whoever comes to watch them can handle that and she was amazing about it. She provided updates and photos and I was very comfortable being out of town knowing she was nearby and coming to check on my babies. Would definitely use her again in the future!”

“Shando was amazing with our dogs. We have 2 very enthusiastic French bulldogs and he was able to calm them within moments of their initial meeting. He stayed in our home and took the dogs walking while we were away sending pictures and updates. When we returned home the dogs were so relaxed and happy. It was truly the best experience with a dog sitter we have had to date. We look forward to welcoming Shando back when we leave for another trip.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for my entire life. I absolutely adore taking care of all of them, and have 3 kitties and 2 pups of my own! I can handle anything from the most energetic of puppies to the laziest of seniors! Currently, I work part-time and am available anytime to come care for your pet! I can also drop by in early mornings to come feed, let out, and love on your fur baby. I can do drop-in visits and give your baby a buddy to hang out with for a while. Let them out, lounge around, whatever’s needed from me. I always make sure that my cats feel comfortable and well-loved. I will ensure your pups & kitties feel the same!
“Andwele watched my pup and took the best care of him. He feed and played with my pup and made sure he was ok. I felt confident having my puppy in his care. I would definitely reach out to him again if I ever need a sitter”


“I highly recommend Melissa to watch & care for your fur babies. She is so reliable, friendly & took care of my 4 fur babies. She stayed in contact with me, sent me pictures daily & I was very comfortable knowing my fur baby girls were being taken care of. My fur babies liked her & were comfortable with her.”

“Jorie has been my go to babysitter without fail every single time I travel, which is quite frequently. I don’t trust a lot of people with Vicki but she loves Jorie (likely more than she loves me). She’s always a text away and super responsive. Since moving to Chicago, she’s been an enormous source of support.”

“Olivia took excellent care of my dog, my cat, and my sister's dog as well! She stayed in my home for a three day, two night petsitting request, and she took great care of my house & belongings as well. Olivia is very pleasant to be around, and the animals loved her. She'll provide plenty of cuddle time as well as play time, and she follows detailed instructions without issue. I'd certainly hire her again. Thank you!”

“Tatiana accommodated my last minute booking, so thank you for that. Reese (my cat) seemed so happy and not stressed at all after I got back, even for a week long vacation! Tatiana always kept me in the loop of when she would be spending time at my house and sent at least one picture everyday of Reese. My autofeeder had an issue and she fixed it the same day. She left my house the exact way I left it, and cleaned up after herself. Reese and I will definitely have Tatiana stay next time I leave on a trip!”

“Best dog sitter ever!!!!!! My dogs love, love, love her! Her work definelty shows her passion for animals. She took care of my dogs like they were hers'. She's amazing ❤️.”

“Olivia did an amazing job! She took wonderful care of my pup and kept him excellent company, kept me in the loop, and sent a lot of pictures. My dog had a great time with her and I would absolutely hire her again!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine, lifelong love for animals. I truly believe pets are too good for this world and deserve endless love, patience, and attention. I don’t see them as “just pets,” but as family members who deserve to feel safe, happy, and understood. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, which has given me strong knowledge of their needs, typical behaviors, and what they should and shouldn’t eat. I’m naturally patient and kind, love taking dogs on walks and to dog parks, and focus on positively reinforcing good behavior so every pet feels confident, cared for, and loved. 🐾❤️ I am available to engage in dog care Monday- Friday, and Saturday and Sundays if told with enough time in advance. I am flexible and can work with different schedules. I am very respectful of each owners routine for their fur babies and can navigate complex instructions for their care. The pets wellbeing always comes first, and my care will focus on their safety, joy, and needs.

Melissa was amazing! It was our first time leaving our dogs alone and she made every step of the way a comfortable and enjoyable experience. She gave updates throughout the day and my dogs loved her. Will definitely be rebooking next time we need a dog sitter!

Faith did amazing! She was so sweet with all of my babies. I have 2 dogs (one came out of town with me), 3 cats, 2 turtles, and a gecko, so I have quite the crew! She checked on my reptiles, cuddled with my dog all day, and continuously checked in on both my kittens and my older cat. Her communication was amazing, and she sent me tons of photos and updates throughout my trip. When I got home, the house was picked up and everything and everyone looked great. She truly went above and beyond! I 100% recommend Faith and will definitely continue using her in the future!

Jeter loves spending time with Jessica! She takes such great care and has amazing attention to detail. She ensured that he had a lot of enrichment, providing play, giving him his lick mat & puzzle toy, and taking him for a long walk. We look forward to booking her again!

Janelle is incredible! She is by far the most reliable person we have found to watch our kitties while away. She is so professional and kept us very up to date with long daily updates about how and what the cats were up to. She is so kind and on top of everything. We love Janelle ! Definitely asking her to cat sit again in the future.

Stephanie was absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We have a multi-pet household with several cats, multiple who require daily medication, and a rabbit, so our daily needs are complicated! Stephanie handled everything flawlessly and went above and beyond in every way. She was extremely reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. She sent daily updates with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It made such a difference being able to fully relax and enjoy our trip knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands. When we got home, the house looked amazing—all the litter boxes were clean and everything was exactly how we left it. Most importantly, our pets were happy and comfortable, and it genuinely seemed like they bonded with her while we were gone. We felt complete trust and confidence in Stephanie from start to finish. She truly exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.

Tatiana accommodated my last minute booking, so thank you for that. Reese (my cat) seemed so happy and not stressed at all after I got back, even for a week long vacation! Tatiana always kept me in the loop of when she would be spending time at my house and sent at least one picture everyday of Reese. My autofeeder had an issue and she fixed it the same day. She left my house the exact way I left it, and cleaned up after herself. Reese and I will definitely have Tatiana stay next time I leave on a trip!

Yuliya was absolutely amazing! Our 3 pups took to her immediately and loved her. One of our dogs was coming off an eye infection and she was great with keeping up his eye drops regimen. She was by far the best sitter we've had when it comes to sending us regular pics and videos! She took some of the best pics/vids of the dogs that we have. They never pose like that for us...! It was very clear that they dogs were very happy with her and had an absolute blast. She is very communicative and one of the nicest people. My husband and I also became very friendly with her, as did our neighbors. She is very considerate and left our condo clean. The dogs clearly missed her after she left. We would absolutely rebook her for every trip of ours if she's available! Very highly recommended!

Natalie was in time when I first met her. She was very sweet and easy to talk to. She followed all my instructions, and she sent me pictures and updates on my 2 large dogs. We were in Las Vegas for a few days for my husband's graduation and we drove there with my dogs. I would love Natalie to take care of our dog next time when we are in Vegas. Thank you
