“Excellent dog watcher!! It was my second time hiring Daniel and was such a comfort to travel while letting my senior dog stay at home. Daniel did great, kept me up to date with pictures and information about my dogs eating and drinking habits. Would definitely recommend if your like me and want your dog to stay in his comfort zone, hiring Daniel to look after your pet.”
“Georgia was available on somewhat short notice to look in on our two older cats while we went away for the weekend. She was always on time and gave them attention when they needed it. Was able to give insulin shots with no issues. She was great with communication and showed respect to our home and property. Will definitely keep her in mind for our future cat care needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life and loved them each so much. I am experienced with a gentle heart and genuine love for animas. I’m currently home all week raising my kids and cats. I’m available anytime throughout the week to take care of your animals needs and wants! ❤️ I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your animal inside my house. I have three friendly cats that sleep on their own level of the house at night.
About: While I have the most experience taking care of cats, I do have experience with dogs, bearded dragons, and fish as well! I am also always open to learning about new animals and their care routines. I am consistent, detail oriented and passionate about caring for critters and that will always be the same no matter the animal! I am currently employed 7-3:30 5 days per week. I am able to attend to pets before and after work every day as well as on my days off. If something does not quite fit with my schedule I do have a partner who is a little more flexible and may be able to fill in. I live in a spacious townhouse, so if your pet is joining our crew we can provide them with their own space or allow them to roam with the others! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat it as if its my own. I am a very cleanly person and I am detail oriented so I will attend to your surroundings as well as your pet!
About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.

Additionally, I believe it is essential to provide regular updates about your pets while you are away to ensure peace of mind :) Providing exceptional services everyday, three times a day! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available when pet owners need me; mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I make sure to plan my other responsibilities around the needs of the pets I care for. Treating every dog like my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. I thoroughly follow instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special accommodations. With my background and training in healthcare, I am well-equipped to recognize and respond to any signs that may indicate an emergency, ensuring your dog's safety at all times.
“Jayana was amazing!! She took very good care of our boys while we were gone. Our dog Max was pretty shy, but she quickly adapted to his personality by being slow and kind to him! I recommend booking her if she is available!”
About: I am willing to stay the night if needed or just stop by to check on dogs. I will give walks or whatever else is needed as well! When I lived at home, before moving to St Charles for college, I took care of my pets every day. I would feed, walk, and love on my two dogs daily. I will treat your pet however you and the pet feel most comfortable. I am very gentle will dogs and will help the dog to feel as comfortable as possible
“Jeanne was wonderful with our kitty and communications throughout the week. She reached out when the weather was dicey, offering to take her to her home if necessary (thankfully, it wasn't). Highly recommend!!”
“Kolton was great at communication, caring for our 2 pups and sharing photos of the experience. I would highly recommend using his services when you need someone reliable to care for your pets.”
“Rachel was fantastic, and our Penny loved her! Rachel was very prompt with all of her communications, and she offered to come by and do a meet and greet before our appointment with her. We also appreciated her willingness to stop by for a second puppy visit after we found out we would be delayed getting home. Great young lady and a great puppy sitter!”
About: My Mother and I ran a petcare business since I was 12. If I don’t know the answer, I ask her! Dogs have been an important part of my life for 20 years! I currently work from home and over the last two years have owned a husky mix who is very social and all around well trained. I have a huge privacy fenced in back yard with a fur baby of my own to keep yours company while you are away. I have the ability to crate if needed. I work from home so I am here most of the day, if not all day.
About: I have trained dogs and cats of all ages, senior and puppies. I love to spend time with animals and help them blossom. I specialized in skunk care, but I'm an all rounder. I am currently unemployed looking for new opportunities while I wait to start school up again. I am open to working with all manner of clienteles, and I am flexible in timing and help. I am all about giving pets the respect and space they need. I am not an up in their face person, and simply wait until the animals decide they are ready for attention. I like to build trust with the animals I serve, and love to have repeat customers. Please give me a shot, and your animals are sure to thank you.
“My kitty seemed to really like Nichole she gave him extra love and he seemed like he was in a great mood when we returned from our trip. I am so grateful to her for giving him extra attention and will definitely be looking to use her in the future.”
About: I grew up with pets, both dogs and cats, and have taken care of many pets in my community (including friends, extended family, neighbors, and coworkers) whether it is just for a daily walk, or house sitting while they are on vacation. I have a part-time job, but besides that, I am free mostly every day, including weekends, and possibly house-sitting if need be! I am willing to work around your schedule to ensure the most happiness for you and your pet! I will follow and respect the rules you have set up for your pet, to ensure safety and comfort for your pet and home. I am comfortable putting your pet in a crate/room before leaving if need be, letting them roam within your gated area, or walking them around on a leash, whatever you prefer.

Amy P.
“It is my genuine pleasure to recommend Amy for any position in pet care. She is a warm, nurturing soul by nature, and her love for animals is evident in every interaction I’ve witnessed. Whether she’s caring for her own pets or looking after someone else’s, Amy approaches each animal with patience, gentleness, and a deep sense of responsibility. What stands out most about Amy is not only her attentiveness, but also her willingness to learn and adapt. She doesn’t just go through the motions—she takes the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, needs, and quirks. I’ve seen her research new techniques, ask questions, and go the extra mile to make sure every pet in her care feels safe and loved. I would entrust Amy with any of my animals without hesitation. She has both the heart and the work ethic to excel in this field, and I know she will bring warmth, reliability, and dedication to any pet care role she takes on. Sincerely, Maggie Holliday”

“Gabrielle has been the best dog sitter I have ever used. My dog loves her because she goes above and beyond the bare expectations, spending extra time with him, taking him on more than just the basic walk but to the dog park (with my permission), and just genuinely caring about his wellbeing. I have recommended her to several friends who also have used her very regularly and are happy. She is trustworthy, hardworking, and reliable. She's the best.”
