“Brittney was amazing. She went above and beyond taking care of Luna. I will absolutely use her again next time I need a sitter. Thank you so much Brittney, for everything!”
“Excellent cat care! I think this has got to be our fourth or fifth time booking Shaun, and he continues to take amazing care of our cats. He goes above and beyond, even bringing extra supplies when we miscounted before leaving for vacation. I would highly recommend Shaun to anyone in the Bloomington area. Our cats love him, and we appreciate his dedication!”
“Westley is great with our trio of Doodles. It’s been a few months since we had needed him to drop in. But we could tell from the pictures he sent they were VERY happy to see him!”
“Heather is great with our cats. They get such good care that they’re less stressed about us being gone. And she’s helped the shy ones gain confidence around new people. She’s also takes great care of the house. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you for taking care of Dillon! Lucy was very attentive to our older dogs needs and extremely pleasant to work with. We would highly recommend her for your pets needs.”
“Wendy’s visits were excellent and provided us with great peace of mind while we were away. We all loved getting pictures of our pets and seeing that they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully get to hire Wendy again soon!”
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience! Ranging from ferrets to cats and dogs! I've rescued 2 dogs and trained both of them (obedience). Currently working part time. Always free to help care for your pet! Can only offer half days as I'm not free 24/7. I am more than happy to communicate with you about schedules. I care for pets in my client's home just how they would want me to do. I care for pets just like they are my own! Daily walks, play time, and of course, dinner time!
“Deborah is awesome. My Frenchie puppy loves her and she is consistent and reliable. Communication is easy and she replies back quickly as well. I would highly recommend her :)”
“Catherine took great care of our 9 year old corgi Tucker while we were gone for the weekend. He played frisbee with her and seemed to be very happy and content. Thanks for doing such a great job with our boy. She sent us pictures and kept us updated, which was very much appreciated. Will definitely use her again. Highly recommend.”
About: I've been a foster through the animal shelter for the last few years. I have two spoiled cats and previously had a dog. My girl passed away over a year ago and I have decided for the time being to not get another one. Pets are part of the family and deserve to be loved and attended to. I am fairly flexible in my daily routine and will be able to provide your pet with all the attention they need. I work in office most days and am gone for about 8 hours. If this doesn’t work for your pets schedule, I may be able to adjust depending on the time of year. Message me and we’ll see what works! I have a fenced yard and live along a dead end to be able to walk your pet safely. I have two cats. Cali will hide during your pups visit and Dolly will make quick friends with them. I keep a gate at the end of the hall so dogs aren't able to go in the cats room. I prefer to keep dogs who crate at night and while away from the house. This will ensure safety for all pets in the home. I have a crate that can be set up if you aren't able to bring yours.
“Nichole checked in on my senior dachshund Reggie twice a day for a week. She always sent cute pictures and descriptions of their time together. Reggie also needed eye drops applied during both of his daily visits and Nichole had no problems doing so. She did a great job taking care of reggie and I would definitely have her back again.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to have Katherine taking care of our cats and our house! She is very organized, prompt, proactive, thoughtful, and kind. Katherine has fantastic animal intuition and quickly figured out how to make our two cats comfortable. We could tell that she quickly won over our shy cat by the wonderful pictures and videos that she sent us throughout our vacation. Katherine communicated exceptionally well: before, during, and after her stay. And from the pictures and videos, it was pretty clear that the cats were enjoying being with her and enjoying life in general, which gave us great peace of mind. She even figured out a way to easily give one of our cats his medication – a process that I have now adopted! Katherine left the house clean and tidy. We whole-heartedly recommend Katherine!”

About: from 9 years old to 40 I have enjoyed playing and caring for dogs . I have loved them as family. they have enriched ny life. Cats have been my pets for the last25 years. Tho very different they need to play too. They are sociable beings. Needing attention and exercise. I am available for play and walks or just drop ins to say hello most afternoons and evenings. My schedule is quite flexible . Starting with visits and walks and cats care. I will be coming to your furry loved one at their residence. Comfortable in their environment. to feed. bathe. or play. Perhaps they need some fresh air and outdoor exercise? Im keen on making sure they are well fed and hydrated and of course loved.
About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.

Amoni F.
“Amoni has been my petsitter for several years (since 2018 to be exact). She treats my Jazzee like she is her own. Jazzee gets so excited when Amoni comes to pick her up and feels completely comfortable with her. Amoni sends me photos of her throughout the day and when I use her when I go out of town and they are at the dog park, regular park or at dog friendly food places. She even takes Jazzee to get pup cups at Starbucks. My dog as a pretty strict good and treat regimen and she always follows it to a tee. I would HIGHLY recommend Amoni for this, in fact, I have always encouraged her to do this because pets love her!”

Regina I.
“Gina is an AVID animal lover. There is no one I would call besides her. She has watched our cats, bunnies, chickens, and dogs. I can always count on her when I am going out of town to keep my updated without me ever having to worry. She sends pictures of their daily activities and sometimes funny little stories. I know my animals are loved in her care especially when my cats actually lay in her lap. If you would like a vacation away without worrying about your fur babies being taken care of Regina is definitely the person to call.”
