“Ann did a fantastic job. I couldn't ask for any better sitter. In my home with my two little pomeranians. She stayed in contact with me. And showed me pictures and videos, i got a little jealous that they absolutely loved her more than me. Lol. Ann is very dependable, and I'd be crazy not to use her services again. I know my pups were loved.”

“Olivia was great and accommodated a very last minute request while still stopping by ahead of the weekend to meet me, Gus and Hazel. She stayed at the house with my dogs Gus and Hazel and did a great job handling them and communicating with me the entire weekend. I would recommend Olivia and would ask her to stay with Gus and Hazel again.”
“Kaitlyn went above and beyond for our puppers. We really appreciate everything she did. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!!! Tex and Blue say thanks so much xoxo ? ❤️”
“Julia was a wonderful sitter for our puppy Millie. She had very good communication from the start, was prompt, and took great care of our dog. Photos were sent of our happy puppy playing with toys and playing outside. She obviously enjoys spending time with dogs and we’d be lucky to have her watch Millie again.”
“Rebecca was excellent! She house sat for me with my dog and she sent me photos everyday and made my mind feel at ease being gone. Will def be using her again on our next trip!”
“Avery took great care of our animals and home while we were away! Both of our dogs needed medication and she did a great job administering both pills and eye drops. She kept an open line of communication and reached out if she ever had any concerns/questions and vice versa. Our house was pristine when we got home as well. We would hire her again. Thanks again Avery!”
“Katie is no doubt one of the best sitters we have had. Her love for Miso was quite evident from the time she came for the meet and greet. It was really heart-warming to see how quickly Katie realized what Miso wanted in order to feel comfortable (being with her, hugs and play time). She earned her trust quickly and Miso seemed very happy and safe with Katie. Couldn't have asked for more. She came across as an excellent human being who can give lot of love to animals too. Thank you Katie for agreeing to take care of Miso at short notice. We will call her any time we need someone to take care of our baby.”
About: I recently lost my beautiful dog, Chowder! A fun loving Wheaton that I established a forever bond with. Through car rides, our love of the water, and the outdoors over 12 years, we took care of one another. Chowder taught me patience, understanding, which allows me in various situations to care for a dog. Along with my maturity, and this “one on one”experience with my dog, I feel I am able to care for dogs in a loving, honest way and provide a safe environment for them. I’m working part time so I’m able to do drop ins and possibly board on weekends. I’d like to get into a Roy tune with the same dogs. If senior, trained dogs are available, I’d be a good match. I will be very watchful of the dogs inside the home and would lease dogs for outside time to assure to not roam free from me.
“Ginger really bonded with Grace, the week that Grace stayed with her. Grace took her for car rides, long walks and gave extra special attention at night. The pictures that we received showed how content Ginger was with Grace. Ginger can be some what cautious when meeting new people. However, she took to Grace quite well. We look forward to having Grace take care of Ginger again.”
About: Have had 3 dogs and many other species of pets all my life. Am available almost all the time for pet care and happy to spend lots of time with your pets. Great with walking or indoor sitting. Have lots of spare time to dedicate to your pets and happy to help all days of the week. Can visit at all times of day. Can easily and gracefully handle all breeds of dogs or cats and can deal with multiple dogs at a time indoors or out doors if needed.
“Dan watched our 2 dogs and cat in our home for 4 nights. The animals were all happy upon our return and the house was the way we left it. Dan was easy to communicate with. I would use him again and recommend him to friends.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 5, I’ve seen it all ! Will always have Mans best friend in my life ! I work Monday-Friday I am home by 4 every day, but free Saturday-Sunday , plenty of time to care for my dogs and play together ! My yard is fenced in, my house is always clean and dog friendly, couch and bed is shared of course. Dogs are part of the family !
About: I’ve had my two cockapoos for 7 years and have cared for many dog breeds, cats, even chickens and bunnies! I’ve been in the pet sitting business for over 7 years, and I love bonding with every pet I meet. I’m currently on summer break from my second year at BSU. With plenty of free time, I’d love to care for your fur babies and make sure they have everything they need! In a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I ensure fresh water is always available and food is provided according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. I also take time to engage with the pet through play and walks. Cleanliness is very important to me, so I make sure feeding areas and any used supplies are kept clean and organized.
About: I’ve had the joy of dog sitting for multiple families over the years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds and personalities. I’m also experienced with basic care for senior pets and have fostered kittens, which taught me patience and attentiveness. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always prioritize clear communication with pet parents so you feel totally at ease while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I work Monday through Thursday, 9 to 5, so I’m available for walks and visits before and after work, as well as weekends starting Friday. I enjoy starting and ending my day with time outside and time with animals, so fitting pet care into my schedule is something I genuinely look forward to. In your home, I focus on keeping things familiar and low-stress for your pet—following their usual routines, favorite walking routes, feeding times, and any quirky rituals they love. I take my time to bond with each animal and let them come to me at their own pace. Whether it’s extra snuggles for a senior pup or high-energy play with a young one, I tailor care to your pet’s personality. Plus, I’ll send regular photo updates while you’re away.
“Angelina kept us updated with texts and pics of Tuna. Tuna is a 2 year old cattle dog mix so he can be busy and stubborn and wild sometimes. Angelina did great with him and the house looked great when we returned. Will definitely be asking her to come back again!”

18. Lea M.
“I highly recommend Lea as a loving pet caregiver. Lea has been walking my two dogs, Duke and Murphy, who are not the easiest walkers, for quite some time now, and I can confidently say that she is exceptionally dedicated, trustworthy, and passionate about her work with animals. Lea has consistently demonstrated her reliability and professionalism in every interaction we've had. She always arrives on time and ensures that my two dogs receive the care and exercise they need during their walks. Her genuine love for animals is evident in how she interacts with them – she is patient, attentive, and understands each dog's needs and quirks. Not only is Lea responsible and attentive, but she also goes above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of the dogs/animals in her care. She is proficient at handling different breeds and temperaments, and I have full confidence in her ability to handle any situation during a walk. In addition to her exceptional skills as a dog walker, Lea is also a pleasure to work with. She communicates effectively, listens to any concerns or preferences, and always keeps me updated on how my two dogs were doing while I was on vacation. I cannot recommend Lea highly enough as a loving pet caregiver/walker. Her passion for animals, combined with her professionalism and reliability, make her an invaluable asset to any pet owner.”
