“Maiah was great! Very easy to communicate with and took great care of our cat. Our cat can be very shy and hide around strangers but she came right out for Maiah and obviously liked her!”


“Ilene was fantastic and went above and beyond my expectations which is so greatly appreciated! Ilene’s communication and timeliness is perfect and even provided me with adorable pics & videos of playtime with Rozz which warmed my heart while I was away. Ilene’s love and care for animals is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend Ilene for any of your pet care needs!”

About: For the last five years, I have worked at zoos, shelters, and sanctuaries with a variety of animals! In the past I have owned reptiles, and I currently own one dog and three cats. Additionally, I usually have at least one foster animal in my care at all times. I understand that each animal is an individual and will adjust my behavior accordingly. I am happy to be active if your dog is a runner, or a couch potato if they're more of a snuggler! I have experience providing medication and special diets. I am currently working with my dog to decrease his reactivity and my cats on harness training! I am more than happy to do any enrichment or training you request with your furry friend! I am currently between jobs and have few set commitments. This allows me to be extremely flexible in my schedule for all your pet care needs! I ensure that in addition to basic necessities, my animals are given physical and mental enrichment each day, whether it's a training session with my dog or a puzzle feeder for the cats. I am more than happy to do the same for your pets!

“Emily was quick and responsive to a last minute drop in request. She provided a thorough note after her visit letting me know how they spent their time and my pup’s behavior and mood. I appreciate her being so responsive and thorough!”


About: Spending time outdoors and staying active is a huge part of my life — I'm a fitness trainer by profession, so daily walks, runs, and playtime are second nature to me. Whether your pup loves long strolls or your cat needs a calm companion while you're away, I’m here to help. I grew up in a home where caring for animals was a part of daily life — both of my parents are veterinarians. Because of that, I’ve been comfortable around dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from a young age. I understand how to read their body language and give them the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities! I am available all weekdays 10am-5pm. However, I am very flexible if needed just let me know any special requests! I will be the most to be accommodating. I have great confidence taking care of your animals since I have grown up around them! For walks, please have a collar and leash provided for use.

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by family dogs (mainly the bigger breeds). I got my first dog on my own almost 5 years ago and my 2nd last year. I have seen and cared for dogs in all stages. I do work full time with a flexible hourly schedule and can help with care as needed. Currently I work 9-5 and I walk my boys every night and can make most scheduling needs work! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs myself. While I’m home the dogs can all be interactive together in and outside, while also being walked. While away from home and for sleeping dogs will be crated for safety purposes (never longer than 8 hrs for work)

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. Every time I get the opportunity to watch a fur baby, I treat them like they are my own. I have done some dog/puppy training as well, and I've always gotten great reviews on what one's pet can do by the time they go home (If interested) As of right now, my schedule is completely open, Monday - Sunday. I am in a transition period, so I would love to prioritize your fur baby. I live in an apartment on the east side, so I’m close to several parks and have access to trails, lakeside, dog parks if these attributes benefit your baby. I’m a very active person, so taking your animal on several walks a day is a treat to me!

“We LOVE Jensen and will 100% be booking with him again. He took such good care of our babies, communicated with us well, all the updates and pictures kept us at ease. And even our shy boy warmed up to Jensen’s amazing energy!”


“Lily is wonderful! She is so accommodating and truly cares for our pups even though they can be a tad difficult! We truly appreciate her and the care she has when she watches or checks-in on our pups!”


“Jackie was thoughtful and communicative:) My super shy cat was out and about during her visits, and she included sweet photos after each one! I’m so glad I had her to count on while I was away.”


About: I have lived with and loved animals my entire life. Growing up, I learned to care for puppies, adult dogs and cats, rescues, and guinea pigs. Safety and compassion for your pet are my top priorities. I will meet your pet with what they need. I am a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. I am home for the summer and work a part-time job. I am willing to work out a schedule with you and your pet. Compassion and safety are my priorities, but when caring for your pet, your priorities are my priorities. I respect how you would like your animal to be cared for. Whatever your pet needs, I will go out of my way to make sure they are taken care of.

“Molly did drop-ins for my dog and did a great job. Very communicative and flexible, plus my dog feels comfortable every time. Definitely recommend booking with Molly!”


About: I Have had pets entire life growing up, have a 7 month old puppy of my own, and have years of experience dealing with animals I come home for lunch everyday, my wife and I work in the evenings a few days a week, we’re free all weekends, and are pretty much available whenever. We both have experience with pet training, learnt from training our dog. Very loving and attentive towards other animals, and love helping other people out.

“I had the distinct pleasure of being trained by, and working with, Hope at the Wisconsin Humane Society. Hope is proficient in fear-free dog handling, and specializes in leash and dog-reactive dogs. She is courteous, careful and kind. She seeks to understand and empower dogs to make their own choices and feel safe enough to have fun! She is also an excellent carer for all species, and has cared for many complex felines as well as canines. She has cared for my personal pets and is an excellent choice for your animal care needs.”

Kira H.
“Kira is one of the only people i’ve ever trusted to watch my dog, she is so incredibly patient and kind when it comes to the babies. She helped me get my (overtly hyperactive) dog get comfortable with the kennel, helped me get her on a good diet and training plan. she will go above and beyond to make sure these babies are taken care of. 10/10 would absolutely have her watch any animal again.”

Jackson C.
“I always feel my dogs will be well taken care of and receive plenty of love and attention when I ask Jack to watch them. He grew up around dogs, pure bred and rescues, and thoroughly enjoys taking care of them. One of my dogs has medical needs and Jack is wonderful at making sure medication is given on time and he also is able to identify signs if something doesn't seem quite right. He responds quickly when I check in with him and always lets me know if he has any concerns about my dogs. I highly recommend Jack. Your dogs will be very well taken care of.”
