House Sitting in Empire

“Kali house-sat for us on short notice, and not only did she make time to stop by the day before to meet the pets and get her bearings, she was also so kind and understanding about the long laundry list of needs and quirks when caring for our sensitive senior dog. While we were away, Kali sent pictures and text updates, and we were certain that our pets and home were in good hands. Next time we go out of town, Kali will be our first pick to watch over our pack!”

“Kris was one of the best sitters we’ve had! So much attention to detail both with our dogs and our home. Our babies were very well taken care of. We’d definitely use him again”

“Patty is amazing! She did a very thorough meet and greet which I appreciated. She stayed in our apartment pretty much the entire time we were gone which was a huge relief for me. She even made friends with our very reactive/skittish dog! Will definitely hire Patty in future!”

“Katelin is amazing & I will rebook with her 100 times!! This was our first time using Rover and she made it so easy and our dogs were happy too!”

“Laine took amazing care of my dog while I was on a work trip. My dog has separation anxiety, and Laine was great about keeping him happy and active with hikes and beach walks. I would highly recommend her!”

“Janea was fantastic! Friendly, very communicative and a dog lover! I never worried about our babies while we were gone.”

“I have know Anne more years than I can count. As one of my best friend, one of my favorite things is quirky sense of humor. She is determined to do her best. I have witnessed first hand her love of dogs: my Maltese and that of other friends. Truly a dog person. Recently she feel in love with a little pup-a-pup as she called she was walking in Chicago. Anne's is bar none. I keep telling her it's time for here to get a dog or foster. I do not doubt for one moment that she would not provide loving care to any one dog. A great hire!”

“Flavia is characterized by being an active, responsible and punctual person, she likes hiking and playing sports. She is loving with animals, she loves and enjoys being in the company of them. In the past she took care of Rosie, she was always walking her, feeding her and petting her.”

“Zach was wonderful with my 2 puppies. They are definitely a rambunctious pair but he handled it with stride and my girls loved him! Which is saying something since one of my puppies tends to not like men. Definitely will be hiring again.”

About: I am and always have been an avid pet lover, so I will treat your baby with the love he/she deserves. I’m skilled in bathing dogs if that’s ever needed. I’m also very good with puppies, and relatively good with senior pets and giving them the love they need. I am a part time college student from 10:15 to 12:15 every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday so I have lots of time to care for pets!! I’m respectful of the surroundings of the animal, and I will make sure they are comfortable around me, as well as the human that loves them.

“Kristina is a great, trustworthy and dependable pet sitter! She has the flexiblity to pet sit so we can leave and not worry about our dogs! My dogs love her and she goes the extra mile to take care of them. I would highly recommend her for visits and overnight stays!”

“Katrina was instantly warm and friendly…. She was totally all about Tommy and his needs. Katrina was on time, followed my requested needs for Tommy…. Truly a dog whisperer! We would highly recommend her. Thank you ??”

“Ann is Great with dogs ! She is a very responsible women and loves all animals. She has watched my dogs many times and always loves taking them on walks. Highly recommend her !”

“She was amazing!! During our trip she communicated well with us, tons of pics. Loved her”

“Jessie did a great job sitting my dog Sydney. He’s not the easiest dog to get to know but within a couple of days he warmed up to her. Everything was in tip top shape in our home when we returned. I would recommend Jessie to friends and neighbors.”

“For most of Jojo's life he has wanted to be a Veterinarian, his love for animals is overwhelmingly obvious everytime he is around them. He is compassionate, caring and trusted to love your pet the way you would.”

“Sometimes my dogs see Marguerite around the neighborhood and they run up to her to say hi! They remember her and they love her. She sent me cute photos while I was away and she kept my place neat and tidy. She's a great sitter and I'd book her again because the dogs love her so much!”

I cannot currently have pets in my home, but I am very flexible about my times and can come to your home or take the pet out for great adventures!

“Jake is a fantastic pet owner, sitter, and overall human. He has watched my dog several times with absolutely no complaints from me or my furry companion. He is ambitious and takes good initiative in making sure instructions are followed as well as being eager to please in regards to the pet owner, and the pet! His reliability and genuine love for animals made my experience worry free. Highly recommend his services for any pet owner!”
