Incredible! Communicative through the entire stay and my apartment is cleaner than i left it which is so Incredibly nice of her! I'm so pleased, and though this was a one-off/unlikely to need a dog sitter again type of vacation, I would without a doubt use Rose again if needed.

About: I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life. I have been a dog mom for 13 years. I am great at walking dogs who have aggression towards other dogs, I know how to find a calm route to take and distract them before conflict arises! I recently lost my 90 lb alapaha blue blood bulldog mix to a terminal illness and am looking forward to spending time with other people's dogs. I am a self employed artist, volunteer, and executive director of a free store that I physically staff on Saturdays, so I have a very flexible schedule. I will care for pets in your home with so much attentiveness and love! Just give me a set of instructions and I am happy to hang out :)

Elizabeth was incredible, and we feel so lucky to have found her. This was not the easiest sit—our senior dog and younger cat require careful management and don’t always get along—but Elizabeth handled everything with so much patience, attentiveness, and care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was so capable and calm in navigating their dynamics. She kept us updated with the sweetest photos and little notes throughout our trip, which made being away so much easier (and honestly, we looked forward to her updates every day). Communication was always quick, clear, and thoughtful—she was super responsive and proactive if anything came up. On top of that, she treated our home with total respect and left everything in great shape. You can tell she genuinely cares—not just about doing a good job, but about the animals themselves. We would 100% have Elizabeth back and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and truly exceptional sitter.

Elisha did a wonderful job watching my shy pup and two kitties while we were gone for an evening. Although my dog is rather nervous around strangers, my pup ended up sleeping with Elisha during a storm. It gave me great comfort to know my animals were being looked after during the storm and while we were away. Looking forward to having her watch my pets again next week!! Thanks for everything, Elisha!

Bryson always takes great care of our crazy pups and our house. He is able to manage the super high energy and the grumpy old man energy our dogs have, which is not an easy task!

Arsen and Sophia did a great job. They communicated well, sent funny pics and we returned to a calm dog who clearly liked them and was sad to see them leave. House was clean. Would hire them again anytime.

Amy was an absolute lifesaver. I was horrified to realize that I had to go on a trip the day after my dog's surgery and thank goodness Amy was available in the pinch. She was incredible; extremely attentive to him and very engaged in his care, communicating with me the entire time, and working with me to solve issues as they came up. Not to mention taking wonderful care of my other pets and my home as well. Thank you Thank you Thank you Amy!

We had such a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for our two cats. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and reliable. She kept us updated consistently with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she’s both experienced and genuinely caring - our cats felt comfortable with her right away. She was attentive to their routines and gave them lots of playtime and love. We came home to two very happy, relaxed cats and a house that was just as we left it. We felt confident the entire time that they were in safe, capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

Vanessa was by far the best sitter we’ve had in nearly ten years. She went above and beyond. She took pebbles on hikes and swims and dog parks, kept her super clean and managed her food and meds very well. We returned in over a week to find pebbles thriving. We would call on Vanessa in a heart beat going forward whenever we need someone to care for our pup.

Rachel is truly a gem! I can't praise her enough for the exceptional care she gave my big German Shepherd, Lenny. She was incredibly communicative and understanding, making the entire experience seamless. When I returned home, my house was spotless, and my dog was happy and well cared for. Rachel is simply fantastic—if I could give her a 10-star rating, I would in a heartbeat.

I cannot say enough good things about Kacey!! I came home to find happy cats and a clean home. And while away, I was relaxed knowing she was there. She was in great communication and sent photos of the cats throughout the trip. She goes above and beyond to love your home and your pets like her own.

About: I’m an artist living in a beautiful quiet space in Woodstock with a large yard and plenty of nearby places to hike and swim in the water holes. I had a rescue Wheaten Terrier for 11 years, who sadly passed in January due to a heart condition she had since she was 7 years old. I’m really great with rescues, and highly sensitive dogs. I know how to give medication and just generally vibe with what the dog needs. I’m highly intuitive and I find this to be my main asset as the dog always communicates its needs and wants, we just need to know how to listen. I love all dogs but unfortunately cannot watch ones that shed a lot due to allergies. I’m an artist, mostly working from my home desk or at a coffee shop. I love taking pets to the cafe, if it's an environment they are used to and comfortable with. Sometimes I will work at a cafe but I can make my schedule flexible given enough notice. I have a quiet spacious yard in Woodstock with lots of nearby nature paths. Each day I like to get out for a long walk in nature, and I also live right near a nature preserve that is walking distance from my home. It’s just me at home so it’s a calm relaxing environment.

About: I just lost my 19 year old dog in 2025. Senior dog care was my day to day for quite a few years so I’m well versed in that but can handle all shapes, sizes and scenarios. I provide a caring and attentive positive environment with indoor/outdoor access. We are also right next to Silver Lake Dog Park if your dog is allowed to go :). I work from home most of the time and scheduling is flexible. I am able to provide a routine that fits the dog’s day to day. Dogs won’t be left for more than 3 hours at a time but when I have a furry visitor, I try to not be gone unless absolutely necessary. We have a yard that’s fenced in with easy access to a nearby dog park. I take them on walks and to the dog park often and am able to offer supervised yard time.

About: I grew up in a cat household and became a dog mom as soon as I left home. I absolutely love all of the cats and dogs I’ve been fortunate enough to meet in this life. I raised my pup, Grumble, from 3 weeks old until she left this world at 11 years old. I am very familiar with the range of needs a dog will have throughout life, from teething to play to mobility assistance. I'm fully available in the winter as my regular job (gardening) is seasonal and won't be picking up again until later in the spring time. I can be flexible to your pets needs and more than happy to follow any directions you provide me with for their optimal care and contentment.

Alexa was incredible with our girls and saved us when a sitter canceled last-minute. She sent the cutest pictures and I could tell my pups LOVED her. We can’t wait to have her back!
