“My cat Mister is my everything and I cannot express how wonderful Jeanne was with him. She went above and beyond with caring for him. I had some stressful happenings a day or two before my trip (apartment stuff and Mister needing medication) and Jeanne didn't skip a beat. She adjusted to mine and Mister's needs and provided excellent care. I will absolutely be reaching out to Jeanne for future trips!!”
2. Sarah P.
“Sarah took wonderful care of our three cats. She even cleaned up after they made a mess, got sick, and had an ant problem in their food and water dishes. I’d definitely recommend Sarah and will be using her again for our next trip away from the home.”
3. Amanda R.
“Amanda was a great drop-in guest for our cat! :) Amanda was always on time for checkins and would provide so many fun action shots of our little one! We can tell our cat felt very comfortable around her and well cared for during her drop-ins! We always try to book Amanda for our trips when she’s available!”

6. Anays & Francis V.
“Anays and Francis were great! We had a last minute matter come up and were in need of drop in visits for the week for our cat Murphy, who can be a handful. They were able to meet me the day I requested them and asked a lot of questions to make sure that he was well taken care of. Although I offered that they steer clear of Murphy since he can be aggressive when he knows he’s about to be fed, they still took the time to get to know him and give him treats to warm up to them. We knew that he was in good hands as there was always a detailed message of how the visit went at multiple pictures of him.”

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work full time working with children that have autism so that takes up a bit of my time. I'm unavailable mornings but free after 4pm. Whether your pet/pets just need to be fed/let out or walked I'm sure I'll find time after work on weekdays or during my open weekends to care for them. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

“Came home to happy pets and enjoyed the photos she shared with us while we were away.”
15. Ally K.
“Ally has been helping me care for my animals since I moved to Illinois in October of 2022. Ally is dependable, incredibly kind, and most of all an avid animal lover. Whether it was helping feed my animals dinner or staying at my home for a weekend while I was out of town, Ally was able to provide excellent care to my pets and stay in touch with me while I was away. Ally seems to approach pet care as if she was caring for her own pets - that is to say she always has an unconditional love for the animals she works with and loves to ensure they are safe and happy. I recommend Ally to anyone looking for a solid, dependable, and loving care taker for their pets! She’s truly amazing!”
16. Stephanie K.
“I have a German shepherd/ huskie and Stephanie has been absolutely amazing with him! Stephanie has been extremely reliable, great with my dog and is a very approachable person. I wouldn’t want anyone else taking care of my dog and feel so lucky to have found her!”
17. Emily M.
“Emily did a great job with 2/day drop-ins for our dog while we were on vacation. She was on-time and provided caring attention with reports and photos. She was also flexible with added and revised schedule changes as needed. We would book her again and recommend her highly to others!”
18. Taylor C.
“You couldn’t ask for a better caregiver than Taylor…she loves all pets… she is dependable, sensitive and trustworthy. Taylor would petsit my dog every now and then. My dog loved Taylor. My dog is deaf and Taylor was so patient with her… I would still use her service but I moved away. I believe animals know when people love them. Plus she has two kittens and a dog and grew up with pets. I highly recommend Taylor for Rover. Sincerely Debi P.”

About: I think my personality stands out because I am a pretty talkative person when I am comfortable and I like to try new things. Some skill that I have are I am a problem solver, I have good leadership, i’m a fun person to be around and I have a good attitude. I did lots of extracurriculars in school and I think I get those qualities from being so involved and getting to know different people. I think caring for pets will bring me closer with different animals and give me a good skill to have in the future. I do dream to have pets of my own when I am older. I always make sure that they are well fed, hydrated, and happy. I am also a pretty clean person so I keep cleanliness in mind as I do my job. I love to play with these animals and make sure they are having a good time.
20. Angela L.
“I can not find the words to express the gratitude and peace of mind I had while I was out of town, leaving my sweet, affectionate kitty in the care of Angela. Thank you Angela for always being there when you said you would be, and for giving My kitty love and cuddles. I will ? % use Angela’s services in the future…. ??”
