Top rated Ellwanger-Barry pet sitters

“Rebecca is amazing! She knew that my dog was going to be left home more days than usual this time and took him on hikes and swimming to make sure he was getting out of the house. We’re so grateful that Levi has someone he’s comfortable with looking after him. Definitely puts me at ease while away from my best friend.”



“Matthew is great to work with. He takes such great care of our elderly dog. He makes it easier for us to take a break knowing she’s in good hands!”


“Lavinia was wonderful with our sweet cat, Cowboy! My husband and I were able to enjoy our trip knowing that he was in good hands. Lavinia provided lots of updates and pictures. I couldn’t recommend Lavinia enough!”


“Alexandra was amazing with Rocky! She managed to get my shy cat to warm up to her in no time. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your pets, but I felt very at ease knowing Alexandra was taking care of him. Will definitely be contacting her the next time I need care for Rocky.”


“Paige was amazing! She was a quick responder to messages, communicative, detailed in her overviews of the drop ins, an extremely kind person, and did great/was accommodating with my cat! I would rebook in a heartbeat 😊”


“Gabby was the best! Our dog is a bit of a special needs dog and she went above and beyond at each of her visits and keeping me updated throughout our vacation. I would 100% use her any time I need a sitter again and recommend her to anyone.”



“Rachel is wonderful with our new rescue puppy. She came at the perfect time and gave Riley lots of love. I definitely recommend her and plan to hire her again!”


“Priya was fantastic with our pup—very conscientious of his needs, and willing to go above & beyond to make sure he, our home & our yard were well taken care of while we were gone. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”


“Ronnie was very down to business, even brought a notebook when he came to get the keys and meet our cat! She ran right up to him when they met, and got plenty of playtime while we were gone.”


“I always feel very comfortable when I have Alyssa coming over to take care of my cats! She’s great at communicating and following my directions!”


“Emalee was awesome. Had to cancel the first sitting due to unavoidable circumstance. She was very accommodating for a future date. She made the scheduled drop in visits and I trusted her implicitly. Would definitely use her again.”


“Tina was so amazing taking care of my cats! We had a great meet and greet where she got to know them and their routines, and while I was away she followed directions exactly and provided the BEST updates. She was super communicative and thorough- I get super nervous leaving my cats but I felt SO at ease. Highly recommend Tina and will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Caroline is truly the best of the best. Our cats can be goofy, stubborn, and needy, but Caroline handles it with such grace. This time around, one of our cats was recovering from a recent illness, and leaving him is always hard during these times. Caroline was incredibly attentive to his needs, giving these worried parents a great sigh of relief knowing our cats were cared for and loved. Thank you, Caroline!”


“Emily was took great care of our pets, plus was very flexible and accomodating to our unexpected changes. We really appreciate her and would absolutely book again!”


“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are so grateful to have found Morgan! She took care of our whole kitty crew with incredible attentiveness, warmth, and good humor. From the moment we connected, she was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with — even asking thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure they had all the details right. Throughout the week, we received daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little stories about our cats’ personalities (even shy Chanchita came out of her shell!). She followed our very detailed instructions perfectly, including medication, litter box care, and keeping an eye out for mischievous Mr. Bingley’s adventures. When we accidentally left out a knife and panicked, they calmly reassured us it was already handled. She even took care of little extras like bringing in a Chewy delivery and making sure the finicky keypad didn’t slow them down. We came home to happy, well-fed, calm cats — who honestly seemed a little bummed their new best friends weren’t still around. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Morgan again. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely lovely people to care for your furry family!”


“Ona did a great job! She easily followed my complicated instructions ;) She sent an informative update and cute pics from each visit. My kitty loved her. Would definitely hire her again, except I'm moving out of state.”


“Always great with my Kona girl!”


“Helen was amazing! Great communication, punctual, and caring! Have other drop-in visits already booked, 10/10 would recommend!”


“Suzanne was a great communicator and reliable! I appreciated the pictures and videos and most importantly felt that my animals were being well taken care of! Would use again!”


“Melissa took excellent care of our two cats! She had excellent communication during booking and while we were away. We are very thankful that she was available and would absolutely rebook in the future.”
