Riley was a blessing to our house. Theo and Daisy love her. It was wonderful to see my fur babies go to her and be so relaxed. Taking such good care of them, while staying in their environment to help them feel more at ease. They had just gone through a move and being home was important to their wellbeing. Thank you so much for alleviating so much stress from me plate. We look forward to our next vacation, knowing you are their special person.

Megan was beyond marvelous with my Nali. She stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable, and made sure to share regular photos and updates. It was immediately clear how much she cares about animals, and making sure our anxious boy felt relaxed and safe around her. This was the first vacation where we truly didn’t worry about him, and that alone says everything. She even helped out with brushing and nail trims!! I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

About: I've had pets around me since I was a baby. I had dogs growing up, and I've been around them ever since. I've been around 20 pound dogs, to 120 pound dogs, nothing is too much or too little for me. Currently I don't have a job, but I am just looking around at dog walking agin. I am supposed to go into the service in about a month, so im trying to make some extra money before I ship off! In my house, I have a fenced in yard, that keeps my pitbull safe, and happy. I would love to be in someone’s house where they have a fenced in yard, but I know that’s not ideal for everyone. If they don’t that’s perfectly fine, we just take the fur baby out in a leash to be outside then!

Gabbi was AMAZING with my animals. She watched my two dogs, cat, and fed some of my reptiles. She went slow with my fearful dog so she could warm up to Gabbi. Gabbi updated me daily to let me know what was going on! We also had a snow storm pass by and Gabbi made sure my dogs were ok in the snow and wiped their paws when coming in. She also shoveled my driveway which she did not need to do but did it anyway!! I appreciate everything she did for me and will be definitely rebooking with her!

Madison was an excellent sitter and cared for my pets like they were her own! She is very professional, has excellent communication, and asked detailed questions to ensure everything was covered. Madison played fetch with them and gave them cuddles and checked on them during her work lunch breaks. Seriously, would book her again!!

Abigail was fantastic! It’s the first time we’ve left our dog and cat since moving here and we needed to feel really comfortable. Abigail communicated with us often and sent pictures frequently. She also left our place nicer than we left it. So happy to have found Abigail and 100% recommend.

We had a great experience with Seth! Our anxious dog seemed comfortable with him from the first time they met. He sent really wonderful photos of our girls each day and kept us updated about how they were doing. We get nervous about leaving our girls with strangers, but we would definitely have Seth take care of them again. He left our house clean and the three dogs seemed well cared for.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have three dogs ranging from 6 pounds to 60 pounds. I’ve been looking after pets since I was a child and have experience with all kinds of companions. Right now, I share my home with three dogs—60 lbs, 25 lbs, and 6 lbs—so I’m very comfortable managing different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats, birds, fish, gerbils, and even snakes. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. Let me take something off your plate, whether it be dog walking , dog sitting, drop in’s or boarding. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule to help to care for your pet. I’m available on weekdays and weekends with a little bit of notice! 🐾 I’m dependable and safety-focused, and I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own. I have three wonderful dogs and a fully fenced backyard, so safety is always top of mind in my home. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or precautions you have in place to make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for. 🐾

About: I started working with animals in 2017 at Metro East Humane Society. I have been working with animals ever since! It is my passion in life. I love pet sitting for clients and allowing them to have a wonderful time away knowing their animals are in the care of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them! I have a flexible time schedule! I work part time at a restaurant (usually pm shifts) so my days are typically always free & available. I can do early morning and late night drop ins as well! I have extensive experience with the following: -giving medication (including injections) -fearful/feral -resource guarding -dog aggression -reactivity -stranger danger -separations -food aggression I take pride in the fact that I have a lot of experience dealing with animals that have behaviors that other sitters might not have experience dealing with. I am confident in my ability to take just about every case on. The safety and wellbeing of your pet is my absolute number one priority.

Riley was wonderful! We were gone for 5 days and I think the pups were a little disappointed when they realized we weren’t Riley coming home! Absolutely will use her in the future!
