1. Alayna I.

“After a previous bad experience with a pet sitter, we are picky about who we ask to care for our fur babies. Nothing to fear with Alayna, who has been one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had!! She’s been communicative with us, sends updates and photos every day, and I can tell my pets absolutely love her (even my independent old dog has warmed up to her!). We are so thrilled to have connected with someone who clearly takes pride in her work in caring for pets. Will definitely be using her for all our sitting needs.”


2. Rachel S.
“Rachel is great with my small breed 10 week old pup. She sends updates per visit and she is very responsive. I am a rather structured new puppy mom and Rachel does well with the instructions I leave and is flexible with the adjustments we’ve made. Would definitely recommend.”


3. Samantha M.
“Samantha loves all animals and enjoys spending time with them. She has watched our cat and dogs many times over the years and they are always happy to see her. She truly cares for all the pets in her care and takes time with them.”


4. Kelsey B.
“Kelsey is wonderful with animals! She truly cares about what she is doing and you can see in her attention to detail. One of my fur babies is on medication and she took the time to throughly learn how to adminster the medicine. Your pets are in good hands with her!”


5. Faith M.
“Faith watched our dog R2 for approximately 1 week. She took the time to become acclimated with his surroundings before we left. She also spent time getting him to trust her before we left. This was a huge relief as R2 does not warm up to people very easily. She spent much time throwing a ball(which is R2s favorite activity) but also took him for walks. She let me know (as scheduled with her in advance) just how he was doing. I would recommend Faith to care for your pet as i will be using her in the future also.”


6. Charity Z.
About: I was raised as a dog lover. We always had dogs in the house growing up and often took in stays to care for them. I am 100% against animal cruelty. I am a stay at home mom with much free time so my hours are flexible to care for you and the needs of your pup. I have a large front and backyard to roam in. My house dogs often go out to play or sun bath, however there is no fence.


7. Mario C.

“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”

For my client’s home, I am willing to crate their dog or do whatever works best for them. I can spend time a lot of time outside with their dogs. If the dogs come to my place, I am willing to accommodate their needs, so they feel comfortable.


9. Heather D.
“Heather has cared for my cat, Lily, on many occasions. She has a kind voice and a gentle presence and my kitty trusted her without hesitation. She follows detailed instructions and asks questions for clarification. She genuinely cares about all pets. I have already asked her to pet sit for my cat and my boyfriend’s dog when we go out of town for a week. I trust her with my pet and on my home.”

12. Alexandra M.
About: I grew up with dogs in my childhood home the entire time living there. I have taken care of small five pound dogs to a large dog like the newfoundland and a great pyrenees. I currently have a Bernese Mountain Dog who loves others! She gets along with all dogs, small or large. Shes just a playful pup :) I am willing to take care of your dog just as well as I take care of mine! My availability will be based off yours :) I’m self employed so my availability will be off yours. 🙂 We do daily walks, lots of outside time. My pups love chasing after a cat laser toy in the house and outside in the evenings. I live in a Duplex with our own yard. It’s not fenced completely. It is a partial fence, but I do have dog tie outs. I’m outside with them the entire time. Plenty of dog toys, balls and room to roam.


13. Morgan T.

“Morgan was great at communicating and sending photos on how her stay was going with our dog, Boston. We were able to relax knowing Boston was in great hands while we were hours away.”

15. Daniela A.

“Daniela was absolutely amazing! I needed a sitter extremely last minute and she stepped up and knocked it out of the park. She followed our instructions to the letter and was so patient and loving to our pup. She arrived promptly and had great communication and even sent pictures of our pup enjoying his walk. We will definitely be booking her again!”


16. Sarahi G.

“First time using an in home dog sitter. Everything turned out to be perfect. Sarahi did an incrediable job watching my dog Cooper. She sent photos and videos on a regular basis so I could see how he was doing. My home looked exactly the way I left it when I left last week. I would highly recommend Sarahi for any dog sitting needs you have. I will be sure to use her again for any upcoming travel.”


17. Michelle G.

“Jaclynn and Nala seemed to have loved their stay with Michelle! She is very responsive and sends pictures to let you know your pups are doing okay. Will definitely book with her again”


18. Kaylynn B.
“Kaylynn has been a lover of animals from the time she was old enough to walk! She takes excellent care of her pets and considers them part of her family. Kaylynn has taken care of our pets (cat & dog) on a number of occasions and has done an outstanding job! Our furbabies love her and know she is there to love on them for a time. Our dog is 14 years old and takes medication every morning, Kaylynn had no qualms about giving the medication and did so with care and compassion. I highly recommend Kaylynn to be a "furbaby sitter" as she puts our pets first and treats them with kindness!”


19. Emily J.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10 years old. From a Great Dane to Yorkie puppies to German shepards, you name it! I live in a very safe community and I know my neighbors well and I’ve been asked to watch dogs or take them on walks to help burn their energy. I’m currently a freshman in university. I go to Olivet which is located in Bourbannais IL. If you happen to be around that area or Bradley/Manteno I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursday, and Fridays after 3 pm. My hometown is Shorewood IL which is also near Plainfield/Joliet area so if you’re located there I’ll be available on weekends + breaks. Summer break is also near so this will create more flexibility. :) I have a big fenced yard with three loving dogs. We feed them twice a day, take them outside every 1-2 hours, and if the weather is nice then we take them on walks. :) Unfortunately, I’m not going to be accepting dog drop offs at my house but if your interested for dog sitting I can take care of your pup in your home or take them on nice long walks.
