We feel very lucky to have found Sarah! She watched our 2 dogs and cat for a week while we were out of town. We have never left our 2 rescue dogs since we have had them, so needless to say they are very attached to us. Sarah was amazing! They warmed up to her very quickly and had no problems at all.. Sarah pays attention to details and even sent us daily updates with pictures and/or videos. It was so nice to be able to relax and know our pets were in good hands and comfortable at home. We will definitely have Sarah watch our pets again!

Madison is by FAR the BEST pet sitter we have ever had! She stayed in our home for a week with our dog during our vacation. She followed all care instructions to a tee, and provided multiple, detailed updates and photos each day. She is incredibly communicative, trustworthy and detailed-oriented. And not to mention the absolute sweetest - and our dog loves her! We so appreciate you, Madison!

About: I have grown up with pets since I can remember. I have had pets ranging from cats and dogs to birds and my daughter even had a hedgehog. I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cat. I love animals. I have pet sat several times for friends, I even kept a friends 2 dogs for 3 weeks when she went on her trip to New Zealand. I have two years of professional pet sitting experience working with another company when I lived in Texas. I just recently moved from there. I recently moved from Texas to Illinois. I have open availability and hope to bring in a steady income once again pet sitting. I worked for a year as a professional pet sitter through a company in Texas. I can follow any routine with your pets in their own homes for their needs. I have the ability to stay overnight with them so that they are in the comfort of their own homes.

Maddie was great! She stayed at our house with our 14 year old, blind fur baby, Liz. She kept us well informed throughout the weekend. It was so nice to have a trustworthy sitter and return to a happy, relaxed dog. Liz was in excellent hands, and we could tell she felt completely comfortable and safe with Maddie. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable sitter!

Scott is a reliable and loving dog and house sitter. Going above and beyond, he even helped with some household tasks while I was away! More importantly, he cared for my dogs as if they were his own, he even was able to win over the more difficult of the two dogs. He was able to patiently manage their more difficult qualities, like leash aggressiveness, and trash picking. I received daily updates and photos, putting me at ease. I confidently recommend Scott, and will be a repeat customer.

Melanie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in good hands. She took such loving care of him, sent me daily photos and updates, and made sure he stuck to his routine. It’s so hard to find someone you can truly trust, but Melanie went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog treated like family! 💕🐶

We were a little nervous, having never used Rover before, about letting a stranger into our home to watch our pups. After meeting Caroline prior to our trip, we knew our dogs and home were in good hands. Caroline was quick to respond to all of our messages prior to and while on our trip. She was amazing and we will definitely use her again.

Goka was great. She is trustworthy and obviously loves animals. She took our dog on walks (more than he's used to with just us, which I'm sure he loved), visited frequently and sent us photos of how he was doing. It was really great for him to be able to stay at home.

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.

Your dog will definitely receive lots of love and affection with me and treats if allowed by their owners. I always make sure theres water available for your dog as it's getting very hot outside! If you rather me come to your home I can always do that as well. I understand it can be more comforting for the pet and owner. (:

Sara stayed with our motley crew of critters while we went away for a long weekend. They’re somewhat high maintenance and I left feeling confident they’d be well cared for. Sara provided updates whenever asked and everyone was happy and healthy upon our return! Thanks Sara!
