“Theresa was incredible with our dog Adelaide. She spent extra time with her and did everything she could to help her be comfortable with a new friend. Adelaide is not easy to win over, but by the end of the night she was up on the sofa with Theresa, which made us so happy. We can’t wait to have Theresa back and neither can Adelaide.”


“Sarah is a very caring petsitter and went above and beyond to make sure my pet was well looked after. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet. She's the best sitter we've ever had!”

About: I have taken care of animals for friends and family for years! I love taking care of dogs and cats, and giving them extra love. I’m temporarily unemployed (actively looking for a job) so I have all the availability in the world. Once I have a new position, I’ll readjust! I’m a very adaptable person who love rules and information, I’ll always work closely with you to ensure your fur babies’ have the consistency needed.

About: I've had a pet dog for as long as I can remember. My parents taught me the value of having a happy, healthy companion and instilled a love of pets and pet care that will last a lifetime. I've interacted with a variety of dogs over the years, both in my house and in friends' houses, from small Pomeranians to medium Beagles to large Black Labs and Great Danes. I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who I've had since he was 6 weeks old, so your puppy will be comfortable with me! I know that trusting me with your pet is trusting me with a member of your family, and I take that honor very seriously. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I currently work part time sporadically throughout the day, so I have plenty of opportunities to visit your pet during the day. I also have full availability in the evenings and at night, so overnight visits are not an issue. As I mentioned, I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who would love to keep your pet company! I live in a quiet neighborhood a short drive away from Clinton Dog Park, so on nice days, we can take a trip to the park and run around there as well.

About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!

“Molly was great with our cats and making sure they were well cared for when we were away. She also was very good at keeping us up to date with pictures and funny stories of their antics. I will definitely use her services again!”


“Sarah was very efficient and trustworthy. The first day she checked in on our animals, we had an unexpected problem with our water. She went as far as to give our pets water from water bottles that were in her car! She communicated with us every day and let us get to know her so we were even more comfortable leaving our pets in her care. We will definitely be using her again!!!”


“Leah was so great with my two cats! I went out of town for two weeks, and she was very attentive and caring while I was gone. One of my cats has new health issues, but I never worried about them. She was always great about sending photos and updates every day, so I could see what they were up to as well. I'd definitely have her watch my cats again, and would definitely recommend her!”

Elliot J.
“I’ve know Elliot for a few years. He’s always shown a genuine interest in my dog, asking how he is and asking to see photos. Elliot asked if he could take PopTart, my dog, for a walk and it’s turned into a lovely routine. Elliot is reliable, always on time, and has a great affection for dogs. Most importantly, PopTart loves to see Elliot. I highly recommend Elliot.”

Marisa H.
“Marisa adopted a puppy two years ago, and I have watched her develop into a fantastic dog mom these past two years. Marisa demonstrates extraordinary patience, love, and commitment to not only her dog, but all animals she meets. The first thing she does when she comes home is greet her dog, Cow, with the biggest smile. She always has time to give him plenty of love and attention. Cow has lots of special needs due to allergies, and Marisa is amazing at being accommodating and caring for anything he requires. I promise that if you hire Marisa to care for your furry friends you can expect her to provide the same level of love, attention, and care to your pets as she gives her own. I would trust her in a heartbeat to watch over my own pet, and I can guarantee you will feel the same way. Book Marisa while you can!”

Celsei W.Star Sitter
“Celsei has very recently cared for our two mini-labradoodles by staying in our home while we enjoyed a Chicago getaway. She visited us weeks ago to get acquainted with our two pups and then came over the evening before we left to have them feel more comfortable the next day. Celsei could not have been more caring, more communicative, more helpful, and more gracious throughout our entire interaction and her home/pet stay. She sent videos, pictures, and descriptions of the fun our dogs were having and it's clear that they both fell in love with Celsei. Our home was immaculate when we returned and she even agreed to feed our koi in our little pond in our absence. The relief and the total relaxation we experienced on our first getaway in years due to Covid, was in large part due to Celsei's exemplary care and loving interaction with our pups. She will be our "go to" care provider as long as she's available. I simply cannot put into words what a glorious experience it was having Celsei in our home.”


Sarah W.
“I am writing to highly recommend Sarah Wales as an outstanding pet caregiver. I have had the pleasure of knowing Sarah for 10 years, and during that time, I have witnessed firsthand her love and care for animals. Sarah has cared for countless animals, specifically dogs. Sarah has a dog of her own as well. She goes above and beyond to make sure her dog, as well as other animals, are safe, comfortable, happy, and healthy. Sarah is reliable, punctual, and will make sure that your animal is loved and taken care of. I have no doubt that Sarah would be an excellent pet caregiver and walker for anybody seeking responsible, trustworthy, and experienced care for their pet(s). She is the best!”
