“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.”


“Brandi was an absolute delight to work with. You will be instantly at ease with her caring for your pets. She is thorough, kind, and it was amazing to come home from a trip to happy and relaxed animals. Brandi communicates so well by sending pictures and updates. Will be using her services again and again! Thank you Brandi?”


“Caeden took excellent care of our dog and house while we were away. Communication and response time was all good and we were comfortable having him in our home. This was our first time using Caeden but we will definitely be booking him again.”


About: I've provided full life love and care to my own dogs as well as others. I am trained and experienced in the training, caring, and identifying of any "issues" and/or "complications". As well as groups of dogs in any setting/environment. I don't currently have a part time or full time job. That being said, I'd find it to be pretty fortunate if I could make pet care my full time passion. I can care and tend to your pet(s) in any way that you and them need and see fit. I have no special arrangements needed for my own needs(I'd rather sleep on the floor with my own clean blankets and pillows anyway :) ). I don't currently have any pets but it's the same approach when I do and that is to make sure they're feeling comfortable and loved first and foremost.

“We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️”


About: I love animals!! Dogs, cats, birds, lizards; you name it and I’ve likely cared for it! Hi, I’m Jolie: a college student with a love for all things furry, feathery, or scaly. I’ve grown up owning geese, rabbits, fish, hermit crabs, lizards, turtles, and— of course— dogs and cats. Currently, I have a two year old cat of my own and dream of owning more! I’ve cared for lots of animals in my time. With a young age, good availability, and passion I’m sure to help with all of your pet care needs!! I’m currently a college student studying Elementary Education, but I have a very easy and flexible schedule to work around! I can be there for all pets multiple times a day, within 4 hours between each visit, and overnight! I have plenty of time in my schedule to spend with your pets to make sure they are getting all of the attention, care, and love they may need while you’re away! I typically always start with the basics: check their food and give them fresh water! Then go outside with any of the animals that may need to go out (my cat has outside time!) and I’m always sure to spend AT LEAST 15 minutes of quality time with the pets every time I visit so that they may get to know me better and feel comfortable and taken care of while their owners are away.

About: I have worked with animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm with cows, chickens, pigs, cats and dogs. It comes naturally to me. I work in the early morning so I am done with that job by early afternoon. I have flexibility and will let you know if there is any available time. I have a kind and gentle daughter who loves all animals, a sweet corgi and 2 lovely adopted cats. In my home. I have an indoor fence and kennel and 2 separate cat only(no dog allowed) rooms

“Did such a great job taking house sitting and taking care of both dogs. Loved all the pictures ?”

My passion for animals is genuine; I have always had a sensitive heart when it comes to their needs.

They will be well-fed and played with, so you can be confident that your pets will be cared for, understood, and loved.

“When we reached out to AnnaMarie, we quickly set up a time for a meet-and-greet with Tanner. Tanner was a bit nervous about meeting someone new, but he quickly fell in love with AnnaMarie. AnnaMarie was incredible! She was so caring, thoughtful, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order while we were away. We had an amazing time having her as our house and pet sitter. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring house and pet sitter, look no further than AnnaMarie. She’s the best!”

“Megan was fantastic with our pups! She was great at communicating and we would definitely recommend her!”


About: We have both had dogs for years and have a perfect set up to watch more. We can come to your house or they can come to ours! We both work fully remote! We have two dogs that live spoiled lives and we will be happy to spoil yours too! We're in auburn. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs. One is extremely friendly, the other takes a bit to warm up, but that never takes long.

About: I have taken care care of friends and family Pets for years and it’s with no doubt the best job. Time flies when I’m playing with them and they have the best cuddles Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day. I’ve had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, for as long as I can remember. Spending time with them brings me peace, joy, and purpose. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel loved, safe, and truly seen. Caring for pets isn’t a job to me—it’s my passion and something I pour my whole heart into. Whether in my home or a client’s, I care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I follow any routines or instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite toys. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space, keeping things clean, calm, and familiar. If they’re with me, they get a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of play, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every pet like my own—always with respect, care, and lots of love.

About: I can be very energetic and love playing with high energy dogs. I especially love training dogs and teaching them new skills. I’m also great at comforting animals in their time of need and am very detail oriented; therefore, I pick up on your dog’s cues that others may not! I currently work part time; therefore, I have plenty of time to care for your pets as you need. I am also a college student from Fall-Spring but have summers off. I have lots of dog sitting experience and am great at being your dog’s substitute owner in their time of need. I can be described as a very trustworthy individual and will keep your pets safe to the best of my ability!

“We (including Steeler) love Jenee. Steeler is a needy little poodle and she does wonderful with him. We would highly recommend her for the care of any pet.”


About: I’ve had animals in my family my whole life! I have two doggies of my own. Beans and Kona. I have watched a lot of other people’s animals throughout my life. Animals are the best thing in this world! Without them life would not be as fun. I have open availability for the most part. I own my own business and thought this would be a fun side job! I’m very responsible and dependable. I am able to watch pets for short or long amounts of time! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Each morning, I feed my pets and take them for a walk. Throughout the week, I schedule playtime and grooming sessions, ensuring they stay healthy and happy. Their well-being adds joy and structure to my day-to-day life. I try to stick to their normal routines! I always feel like dogs have a less stressful time when we stick to the stuff they know. If there is something specific you need, I can accommodate!

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.

About: In Holiday Shores! I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, and I love them both deeply. I’ve also babysat cats and dogs of all sizes, done plenty of walking, feeding, and administered meds to both. Whether it’s me dropping in to take your dog potty or to pet your cat for 30 minutes straight - I will treat them with the love and care they deserve. On weekdays, I can offer an evening walk or feeding, and on weekends I’m totally free! I can spend multiple hours with your babies or pop in on them every 4-6 hours. I’m a firm believer in making the animal comfy, usually by letting them come to me first for a greeting. I become fast friends with every animal I’ve cared for, so after that it’s about consistent check-ins with the fur babes to ensure their needs are met.

About: Hi my name is Amanda!:) I currently work as the main shelter attendant in the cat room at a local animal shelter and petsit on the side! My work schedule is pretty open/flexible and I’m always able to work around it and fit stuff into my schedule, which makes for plenty of time to help take care of your pets!:) In high school, I was President of a Animal Rescue Club for two years where we did tons of volunteer work for animal shelters and put together fundraisers to help with local shelters. Between working at a shelter now, I also used to work at a pet kennel resort which gave me tons of experience in the animal care field. I have been petsitting on the side for about 9 years now, ever since I was a freshman in high school, starting off with just family and friends until word got around and some people I knew from volunteering at local shelters started telling clients and from there my little “business” skyrocketed! I am experienced with all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, hamsters, guniea pigs, birds, bunnies, reptiles, horses, etc…you name it!) I’m also experienced in administering medicine (even to hamsters ahahaha!) At home, I currently have 3 cats as well as foster kitties so I always have animals coming in and out with my most recent being a pregnant foster cat! My schedule is very open/flexible and I’m able to work around my work schedule well so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets!:) You can completely trust that your pet(s) will be safe in my care! Whatever the owner/pet needs I will do! Feed, water, play, walk, etc… I am even experienced in administrating medication if needed! My schedule is pretty open and flexible. And if you knew me on a personal level you would know I’m always able to work around even the busiest schedule if needed! I’m always able to fit in the perfect amount of time to care for your pets and will make sure they are happy and their needs are fulfilled but they are also ready for a nap when I leave ;) I have experience with all animals and dogs of all breeds and sizes! So you can trust that I am a good fit and am able to handle your pet(s) no matter what size or breed they are!

4. Tanner L.
“Tanner has a very unique and definitely rare gift of being able to care, and even more importantly and impressively, relate to pets. If I had to somehow describe it without watching it with you, I would suggest thinking of the movies Marley and Me and A Dogs Purpose(i haven't seen him around cats). He understands not only what troubles them and why it troubles them but also is able to seamlessly put himself in their shoes and knows their perspective of how things are going for each pet. More importantly, I believe this allows and gifts the pet a certain feeling and level of freedom and trust to the outside world.”

7. Ronnelle G.
“Ronelle should be your first pick when choosing an awesome human to care for your pet! Ronelle would provide a safe and nurturing environment for your most precious family member!
