“Janet was a terrific cat sitter! She took great photos of our boys, let us know of their eating habits and communicated well throughout. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been hands-on with dogs since I was 10, volunteering with animal shelters everywhere from Aruba to Chicago and working in dog daycares, doing walks, daily care, and all the real-life dog stuff. I currently volunteer with a wolfdog sanctuary, so big dogs, shy souls, seniors, and high-energy goofballs don’t faze me. I’m deeply empathetic by nature and truly believe dogs are my soul animal. Every dog is unique and deserves care that meets them where they are. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously! I offer calm, patient care and consistent updates for peace of mind. I also love sending photos, because I know how much those mean to me when I'm away from my dogs! I’m a stay-at-home mom with flexible availability all days of the week/end With my son heading to daycare, my schedule has opened up and allows me to give your dog focused, unrushed care (and all the pets!). I care for pets the way I’d want someone to care for my own. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, then adjust my approach to match. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on calm energy, safety, and consistency. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, keep environments clean and low-stress, and always prioritize your dog’s emotional well-being alongside their physical care. I also provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away!
“Dixie was very trustworthy and super accommodating. She went out of her way to make sure my babies were well taken care of. I will never use another cat hotel! I will be using Dixie again! Her communication is 10/10”
“This was my first drop in visit from Tahler and she did fantastic. She sent me tons of pictures and all of my fur babies looked happy. I really appreciated the updates.”
“sarah went above and beyond for our pup while we were out of town. even when our dog had a little anxiety diarrhea after we left, she was so kind and accommodating and went over the top to take care of lilah. I never felt stressed knowing Sarah was watching Lilah, her updates were perfect and she was very communicative! I highly recommend Sarah to watch your animals, she is kind and takes initiative. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Michelle is absolutely wonderful and so, so caring! She goes above and beyond and loves your animals. She maintains security of your home which really puts me at ease. Highly recommend!!”
“Natalie was great with my doggies! I have an older Mastiff that is standoffish when getting comfortable with new people. She was great working with his temperament. I would recommend her and will be rebooking for future visits!”
About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in both training and care environments, including assisting with board-and-train programs under a professional trainer. This work gave me exposure to structured obedience training, leash handling, and managing dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I have also worked with higher-drive dogs, including bitesport and working-line dogs, where clear communication, calm handling, and consistency are essential. This experience taught me how important structure, patience, and reading a dog’s body language are in building trust and maintaining safety. In addition to training environments, I have experience with everyday dog care such as walking, feeding, basic obedience reinforcement, and maintaining routines that help dogs feel secure and balanced while their owners are away. My focus is always on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and understood while providing owners with reliable, attentive care. Pet care is a priority in my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. I plan my days around bookings so I can be consistent, reliable, and fully present for each pet in my care. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while in their home environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and care preferences. For drop-ins, I ensure pets are cared for, have fresh water, bathroom breaks, and attention before leaving. For walks, I focus on safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and adjusting the walk to the dog’s needs and energy level. I treat every home with respect and understand the importance of trust when caring for someone’s pet.
“Really great pet-sitter, went out of their way to help the animals and was even flexible w their plans when the airlines changed my plans. They took really good photos o my pets as well ! They could be a photographer lol”
“Jerica is great with the pups. I’ve used her several times now. She’s quick to respond and has even helped me out on last minute drop in walks. Highly recommend!”
“Really enjoy having Tess as a sitter! Have had her watch my dog a couple of times now. She always has great communication (updates, pictures, details on visits, quick responses) and is very reliable. When we had a recent snow storm she checked in to let me know she'd make it - which was really appreciated as I was two states away and worrying. 😄 She goes above and beyond by bringing toys for him, like treat dispensers for mental engagement. I can always tell he's been taken care of when I come back!”
“Thank you for always being willing to go out of your way to meet my pets first and go over instructions in person! It helps reassure me my babies are in good hands!”
About: I've had an animal in my life since I was born. We've had cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, and even a snake at one point in time. To say I love animals might be an understatement. They aren't just pets, they are family! And that is how I will treat yours. I have one myself, Parker (a black Kelpie Lab mix) and he makes our family whole. I have experience caring for a sick dogs as well. Before we lost Cooper (a full chocolate lab); I supported him during his fight against cancer through a special diet and medication administration. I've helped watched family's dogs, friends animals with medical challenges, and friends pups with special diets. I look forward to helping care for yours. I'm currently flexible and can help check in on your pup most week days or weekends any time between 8am - 8pm. I typically walk my dog in the evenings and can easily grab friends to bring along if they get along well. I go to the gym daily and can easily stop in to/from. I can easily come check on your furry friend, let them out to stretch their legs, and give them some pets. I've crate trained my dogs before and can assist with however you would like to come home to your buddy.
“Cara was great with my 2 cats. She checked in daily, left good daily reports and photos. When I returned the cats were happy and well taken care of.”
“Jennifer checked in on my cat during an extended vacation. She provided lots of pictures of the loving she provided my cat as well as making sure food/water/and litter box were good. Definitely would use her again in the future.”
“Jessica was responsive, professional, timely, and sent lots of adorable photos with an in-depth report card! My doggo was happy when I got home!”

Bre was absolutely amazing. We have 4 high maintenance cats and this trip was the first time we've left them in several years. Bre met the cats and our routine in advance taking detailed notes and practicing with the AeroKat inhaler. While we were gone she took time to make sure the cats were comfortable and relaxed. She sent detailed reports of her visits and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend Bre and will be using her services again in the future.
Extremely caring for the cats and communicative! Watched the animals for 2.5 weeks while I traveled for work & didn’t have any concerns or doubts that the animals were in good hands! 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking to switch sitters or looking for one!
We needed pet care on short notice due to a family emergency. Michelle listened to my needs and took notes during our meet and greet, which really put my mind at ease. She provided great texts and pictures of each visit, again helping reduce our anxieties of leaving our kitty on such short notice. Highly recommended. Thanks, Michelle!
My cat loved Jessica. Jessica was very on top of feeding and looking after Selene! I’ve had Selene for just about a year and she can be extra extra shy but with Jessica she was able to stay on her feeding schedule, got some cuddling/ play time while I was gone!
This is the first time we've left our dog at home when taking a trip so I was concerned Sadie wouldn't react well. Ann is amazing. Sadie seemed to love her and enjoy her walks. Received a picture every day. Came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use Ann again. Couldn't ask for a better experience for Sadie and myself.
Alli is an absolute life saver. Absolutely wonderful with my kitties - they’ve become familiar enough with her now that their behavior when I come home has even improved (less confused, if confused at all) & it puts me at tremendous ease. Thank you for taking such good care of the kitties Allie, you’re the best!
Maria was amazing with our 3 dogs! Our regular sitters they have grown accustomed to over the years were not available and while our dogs are friendly, they have their specific quirks and needs. Maria adapted to them with ease and provided everything they needed while we were gone. It was a great relief to have someone we could trust and rely on providing such attentive care! Not only this, but she also picked up their poop from the yard every day and threw it out, left the house tidy, and collected the mound of packages we accrued over the week we were gone. Thank you so much, Maria!
