“Thank you again 💓. Made our wedding weekend amazing and took care of our babies perfectly. Absolutely would recommend and have you watch them anytime”
“Wow Ashley was just incredible this week caring for my cat and fish. I can tell that she truly cares for animals which makes me feel very comfortable leaving mine under her care. She even went above and beyond and brought in my mail and packages. I am so grateful for her and highly recommend her.”
“I have rebooked Stephanie a few times now, she always does a fantastic job and I never worry when I’m away because I know she’s taking care of them!”
“Ann is so kind. She’s able to help my boyfriend and I out on a weekly basis when we have work conflicts. We are new to the area so she has been extremely helpful in our work/life transition. She has never failed to be there for our pups to let them out and give them love. Wonderful woman!”
“First time using a pet sitter and Brittney was great! Even my shy cat who hides from strangers poked her head out. She gave bith kitties some attention and love beyond just the feeding and watering, and her updates were great! If I have need of a sitter in the future, Brittney will be first choice.”
About: Blessed with 3 big dogs back at home and couldn’t love them more(Murphy, Millie and Miley). I have also dog sat for multiple friends when they’ve needed to travel and find it so rewarding! Big or small I would love to take care of your fur baby like I would my own. I’m currently free for the summer and would love to get out and do something for others! I’m hoping to fill my days with animals. I love to hike and be outside so having company would be a welcomed treat! Would treat your family like I’d treat my own. Not scared to be firm but fair. I’m big on following instructions so whatever rules you have for your household I can take care of your pet in the way you want.
“Sophie was an excellent cat sitter. She checked in daily with photos and my April looked very happy. She followed up on any questions and communication was very professional. I would highly recommend her.”
“Sarah is fantastic with our dogs! They get so excited when she comes over to take them on a walk and play outside. We will definitely be asking Sarah back!”
About: I have a deep genuine love for all animals. I absolutely love dogs, I have experience with big overly energetic dogs and small ones as well. I’m very energetic, caring and compassionate so I know your pet will enjoy it’s time with me. I like to stay fit so walking with your pet won’t just be a job but a fun enjoyable activity. I have a lot of patience with dogs and cats. I have cat handling training and I also have my own 3yr old cat. I have a free schedule I’m very understanding and flexible when it comes to time and availability. I’m a naturally caring and nurturing person so giving your pet any type of special care won’t be a problem for me.
“Melanie was very caring and considerate with our cats. Really prompt and responsive to our questions. Will definitely reach out to her for the next time”
“Sarah is always on time to let our dog out. I know our pup loves to see her too! Amazing as always.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, I’m used to having to take them for walks, feeding them, and making sure they stay on their schedules. I’ve dog sat my own dog then in college I dog sat for a bernedoodle named Luke, he was about 90 pounds. I love animals, I’m here for the summer. I have no other job so I’m always available! It fits into my routine because I will make your pet my priority. I make sure pets feel safe and loved by sticking to their routine, providing constant supervision, clean environments, and plenty of attention. I follow all instructions carefully and treat every pet like family.
About: I have owned/cared for animals my entire life. I have owned all types of animals, including: dogs, cats, frogs, geckos, horses, and fish. I have cared for other animals, including: pigs, goats, sheep, geese, and chickens. I volunteered at a veterinarian hospital for 2 years and my wife is on the board of “Real Dog Moms of Chicago”. I currently walk/dog sit for a military family that has a senior dog and a 1 year old dog, both with very different needs. I work full remote from my home and am very flexible. I also have experience with both large and small dogs (Mastiffs to Chihuahuas) and all types of cats. I have also walked and dog sit for a rescue pitbull that was a former fighting dog, that the owners will only let me or themselves walk. I love animals and will do anything to make them comfortable, loved, and cared for. I genuinely love the animals I care for. I take care of my own 2 cats and 3 dogs, have continuously helped friends and neighbors with their pets as needed and genuinely love animals. I am flexible with time and work from home with a car. My pets are spoiled and loved for with true care, compassion, and attentiveness. Just tell me exactly what you need, what the animal needs, and I will take care of the animal so you can feel comfortable when you are away. I always send updates and pics with every walk, homecare, or visit. You will always be kept up-to-date and in the know.
“We were so fortunate to have Lauren and her mom take care of our cats during our vacation! She was very quick in communication and sent detailed updates with plenty of pictures. They even went above and beyond in troubleshooting electrical issues with our feeders and even took care of the fish tanks. We will absolutely have them take care of our cats again! Highly recommend their services as we entrust both of them due to their skills and experiences with cats. We really felt that our cats were given amazing care and attention, especially for a young, rambunctious kitten. Our cats welcomed them right away and you could tell they were so caring and compassionate with our littles ones.”
“Amazing :) Sarah helped me out last minute and my dogs loved her . Very caring and friendly. Thank you .”

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the past 10 years. I am comfortable walking, checking in and house sitting dogs as needed.

Amy K.Star Sitter
“Amy has exhibited exceptional abilities to connect with animals. She stops every dog in the park to see if its owner is okay with some hellos and pets. As a cat owner, she understands the variability in personality and trust-building that felines require. On the other hand, she has experience with dogs big and small, from low-activity to living bowling balls, jumpers to lickers, and everything in between. She has always been the first call to pet sit, having also assisted with an aquarium, bearded dragon, parakeet, and tortoise.”

William S.
“There is no one I trust with my dog (Cooper, a 7 year old golden retriever) than Bill. Bill is incredibly kind, sweet, responsible and loves animals so much. Cooper took to him immediately, and Bill stepped in for me to help with care specifically on two huge life occasions. First, when my grandmother passed suddenly, Bill was available for care and made a super stressful situation immediately easier for me knowing that Cooper was on such good hands. Bill kept me updated while Cooper was with him on what they were doing, sent tons of pictures and updates and even slept with Cooper (who got a little homesick). Second, Bill was our official “Cooper handler” during my wedding in 2023, where Cooper served as the Dog of Honor. I trust Bill so much that if he hadn’t been able to do it, Cooper would have stayed home - I knew there was bo one else I could trust like I could Bill. He made sure Cooper was walked, fed, ready, cool and happy during a long outdoor ceremony. Once again, Bill was there to save the day with Cooper, and I will be forever grateful for him for his help. I could not recommend Bill enough. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet that you can trust completely, loves animals with their whole heart and will treat your pet like their own, reach out to Bill. He is always my first call when I need help with Cooper. I promise you will not be disappointed and your dog will love him! :)”

Mollie J.
“Mollie is one of the kindest most thoughtful people I know. I have personally watched her work with several dogs before and she has excellent instincts when it comes to dog behavior. She is sweet and caring with each pup and gives them 100% of her efforts and patience whenever they are together. She loves cuddling on the couch with my dog and has expertly defused situations in two dogs got into a small scuffle. (Everyone was completely fine!) overall Mollie is the person you want to keep your fur baby safe and sound while you’re not around!”
