Top rated Forest Park house sitters
“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”
“Christine is the best! She takes such wonder care of my two dogs and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving them with her. I highly recommend her services. We already have our next stay with Christine booked!”
“Ashton was super awesome to work with. Very communicative and always on time. Sent great pics of the two pups, one who is geriatric and has some potty problems and there were no issues with either of them. In fact one of our pups got up in the middle of the night to see where Ashton was the first night we were back. We will definitely have Ashton back!”
“Shania did a wonderful job caring for Hampton and Neko on her first stay with us. She was very communicative and kept me updated with great pictures throughout her overnight stay. I also really appreciated how she left the house in excellent condition. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Pre was a God send. She took great care of my pups for a weekend. She stayed in constant contact and my pups really enjoyed her being here. My only request for next time would be to talk with any sitter about cleaning. I am on the OCD side and when you have multiple dogs, having a clean and odor-free home is crucial to me. Sitters are not housekeepers but I would need to ensure the sitter is willing to do some light housekeeping. I would definitely use Pre again because she was accommodating and beyond personable. She felt like I had family watching my dogs.”
“Lyndsay was great! We lost our usual dog sitter at the last minute, but she came to our rescue, responding to our request within minutes! She was very flexible with our schedules, and took such great care of our pups and home while we were out of town. Woody and Lily are definitely looking forward to us using Lyndsay in the future. P.S. Her dog Pablo is an absolute cutie pie!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”
“Victoria is absolutely amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times and she takes incredible care of my pets. My cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her and even sat on her lap! He doesn’t do that with anyone but me which speaks volumes of how caring Victoria is and how safe he feels around her. She is the best sitter and I highly recommend her!”
“Evelyn was so wonderful with Sophie! She played with her and sent pictures. We could see that Sophie feels comfortable with Evelyn. We feel very fortunate to have found Evelyn for Sophie!”
About: Lover of all animals - cat owner + dog lover. Not shy to snakes, lizards, etc. The cuddlier the better. Trusted by human and animal parents for years. I work from home and can take breaks during the day as needed. Happy to work from your home as well. Evenings and weekends are generally available. I know it’s hard to trust someone in your home, and taking care of your family. I am respectful, communicative, and timely to a fault.
“Elizabeth Took care of my precious pepper (dog)and Ziggy (cat) for 2 weeks, Elizabeth did a great job, with a lot of love and care. I will definitely will recommend to my family and friends to contact and use her services, she’s the best.❤️”
“Emily is great! She sent continual updates and pictures throughout her time house sitting. It was clear that besides regular walks she also spent lots of time hanging out and cuddling with my dog, who is very affectionate and needs the attention. Would definitely book again!”
About: NOTE: BASED OUT OF BURLINGTON, VT FOR THE COLLEGE SEASON I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)
“This was the second time we had Emily watch our pup. Communication was great, just like last time, and she took really good care of our pup and house for all four days that we were gone. Thank you!!”
About: I have a 5 year old dog that I have owned for 5 years. I have 2 years of experience walking dogs prior to owning one ranging from small dogs to big dogs. I have a care for all dogs and animals but dogs are one of my favorite animals. I would care for anyones pet as if it is my own. Pets are family members. In my dog walking experience I find it important to walk a dog 3 times a day for their physical and mental well being. I find it also important to give all dogs physical activity and the attention they deserve. I am an easy solution to provide comfort for your dog whether you are going on vacation, going on a buisness trip, working, not feeling well, or incapable of caring for a pet.

“So great to have Gavin stay with my cat Luna! He was communicative, easy to work with, and reliable. Very grateful and will certainly book with him again!”
Mandi B.
“Mandi is AMAZING! She handled my allergy-prone and high energy dogs with total care. I’m very selective about who watches my dogs (Aspen and Jax). I can be a little nervous leaving them in someone else’s care. Mandi was the perfect dog sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s adaptable, smart, and incredibly kind. The dog with allergies had absolutely no issues, and the high-energy one was tired when I got back, so I knew they had a great day. She even took them to the park and made sure they were fed only after they’d calmed down, which I really appreciated since GDV is one of my biggest fears. My dogs love everyone, but the way they watched her leave told me they saw her as part of the family. For anyone looking for a highly trustworthy petsitter, Mandi is the best.”

Carrie C.
“Carrie regularly watched our two large rescue dogs when we went out of town and we (us and our pups!) were so sad when she moved away. She was careful to take detailed instructions about their habits and needs and asked about things that we had forgotten to mention. She communicated with us well when we were away to share how our dogs were doing. Carrie is a loving and thoughtful pet caregiver and a natural at handling dogs. I would trust her with any pet. We love Carrie and miss her so much!”

Ivah T.
“Ivah has always had a love for pets primarily dogs. As a teenager he began a little business in the neighborhood walking and sitting with neighbors dogs and was very successful. This responsibility provided funds for his special desires. I highly recommend him He was always on time and very responsible and caring.”
