“Leaving my fur family behind while traveling causes great anxiety for me... hoping that they're properly being cared for while away. Ashley was super friendly, extremely communicative and sent the best pictures every day. As long as she's around, I will continue to hire her every time I need to leave town. Thank you Ashley!!”

About: Hi my name is Natasha and I don’t really have any professional dog sitting experience but I have about five years of personal experience. If you choose me I guarantee that your fur baby will be taken care of and loved to the best of my ability. With the weather being so nice out I take the dogs out for walks about 2-3 times a day depending on how long the walk lasts. We go out to go potty about once every hour or so depending on the dogs needs. If you have any other questions don’t be afraid to text me whenever I usually respond pretty quickly. I’m currently working part time(before and after school) so I have plenty of time to give your dogs some love. I’m available every day all day! I have a small yard and plenty of walking area to give your dogs all the exercise they need. I do have two dogs of my own so they would have friends to play with as well
“Camrynn did a great job with Gator, she came when she said she would did everything as promised and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Lillian has been our drop-in sitter for a week and a half now and I could not be happier. Her attentiveness, compassion and communication is top notch, to say the least. I'm so glad I found her on here.”

About: Hello! I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Illinois. I am home in MI with my parents for the summer, so I’d love to care for your pet(s) while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments and energy levels. I am also Fear Free certified, so I pride myself on providing comfortable visits. I will be in the Battle Creek area from June through August. Come August, I will be in the Champaign, IL area. My daily/weekly schedule is fairly open as I do not have a current job. My pets are allowed on furniture. However, I will respect whatever rules you have in place with your pet. I tend to do an outside break every 2-4 hours depending on weather, but in the summer most days are spent outside. I feed my dog on a 2 meal schedule, but can accommodate the pet(s) normal meal routines.

“Kristen is awesome! She takes such good care of Bodhi, he gets excited when he knows she’s coming. Always at ease and happy when she does her drop in visits. Bodhi and Myself are so lucky to have her!!”

About: Currently I own 10 cats, 1 dog, and a pet rat business (Rem’s Rattery). I have experience with dog training, walking, engaging behaviors, socialization, puppy manners, and exercise. I have self trained my service dog and am mentored by Super Powers Canine Academy (SD recently washed from service due to leg pain). My husband will be in the home at the time of in-home services has hands on experience at shelters and vet care for various animals, but mainly cats and dogs. I currently use pet-sitting as a full-time job as I want to invest myself fully into caring for your fur babies! I am available at all times of the day (and night) to work with your schedule as-needed. By choosing me for your pet’s care, you can expect pictures of your pet each visit and reinforcement of any training that is a work in progress. When coming to your home I will be sure to respect your environment and ensure your pet is taken care of thoroughly to prepare for your return.
About: I’m a pre-veterinary student who has grown up with pets my entire life, giving me both hands-on experience and a strong understanding of animal care. I am a college student, so I have time before, in between, and after classes to care for your pet. I will work my schedule around your pet's needs. I care for pets in their own home by following your routines closely, providing plenty of attention and affection, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“We had a fantastic experience with Chelsey! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat Fauna. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while away for the holidays. Fauna was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. I appreciate Chelsey’s attention, kindness, and professionalism, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”

About: I am an avid pet person and have worked numerous pet related jobs. I am certified in dog & cat first aid, dog behavior, and group play supervision. Making sure your pets are safe and happy is my number one priority. I make a promise to my clients that I will be punctual and care for their pets as I care for my own. I am available weekly for whatever you may need. I am also willing to do overnight sitting if your furry friend needs a hand to hold at night. I treat your pets as if they were my own. This means keeping up with their hygiene, their own schedule, and making sure they are happy and healthy. Leaving your pet can be nerve wracking but trust that they are in good hands with me.
About: I have previously taken care of pets for close family friends when I was in undergrad and I miss it dearly. Getting to know your pet(s) and the type of routines and care they need is something I respect and take seriously. Bringing comfort and joy to pets is a fulfilling and worthwhile occupation I enjoy. (It’s also a great way for me to destress as a graduate student!) I am currently a second-year graduate student at Western Michigan University studying occupational therapy. I am open and willing to accept bookings for both house sitting and drop-in requests. Although I am a full-time student, I am available to accept drop-in requests throughout the week on Tuesdays up to 1pm and after 3pm; Wednesday afternoons; and Friday afternoons. As for house sitting requests, I am available for weekend bookings. Should anything change or come up, I am happy to communicate with you on those changes. Like humans, every pet has his/her own specific needs and requirements when it comes to needing top-quality care. My goal as a pet sitter is to get to know both the family and the pet, through building positive relationships and learning about each pet’s specific needs and routines. I strive to bring comfort and joy to each pet I encounter while their humans are away.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my dogs are my babies and I would treat yours the same. Fully fenced in yard to play fetch in and run around I’m currently a stay at home dog dad so they will never be left alone, always ready to take outside and let play with toys. I let my dogs out every couple of hours, always have food available for them and take them outside to play fetch whenever the weather permits
“Lexie was amazing! Super communication and was always on time to the requested stop-ins. You could tell how much Lexie truly cared for our dog and I was so pleased to leave our dogs care in her hands. I loved all the report cards and pictures as well! We will definitely be rebooking with Lexie in the future when needed.”


“Kelli is amazing. She went above and beyond taking care of all of our animals while we were gone. She sent detailed photos and messages with every visit so we knew how everyone was doing every step of the way. We HIGHLY recommend her for any pet care you need.”

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My dad used to help help run a rescue for several years, and we had many dogs of varying breeds and ages in our home. I currently have one dog named Alvin who was born in 2022. He is a yellow lab with a lot of energy! I am venturing into the working world, and this is my only role. My availability is wide open and I'm willing to help when needed! I have a small fenced in area under our deck where my dog relieves himself. I go for walks and there is a dog park very close to the house. My dog has extreme crate anxiety, so he isn't created. I am comfortable helping to ensure your pet is created as necessary.
