“Carolyne was absolutely wonderful with Felix. We are new to the area with no cat sitter, tried Rover for first time. After meeting Carolyne we felt so comfortable leaving Felix to her care. Loved daily updates and pics. Will definitely book again!”

About: I am an animal lover! I have a dog named piper she's a small little angel and my life hasn't been the same since I've had her. I want people to feel comfortable leaving their furry bundles of love with someone who can love and protect them! I take the dogs I am watching to the dog park at my apartment where they can run and play. Also, if interested I can bathe your dog before he or she comes home. Your dog will have a blast with many toys and walks and naps on the couch! I am a currently not working so I’ll be at home all day with my fur babies and hopefully yours. I have a very flexible schedule I always keep the dogs I am watching on a leash unless it is a fenced backyard. I’m always paying attention and capturing cute moments.

About: Hi! My name is Lucy, and I'm a current veterinary student at the University of Illinois. I have previously pet sat for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and would love to care for your pet while you are away. I originally started pet sitting in high school (about 6 years ago) to gain animal care experience. Since then, I have worked at kennels and vet clinics and am learning new skills every day at school! I'm hoping to pet sit while I'm home during school breaks, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to my availability. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's needs! Because of my family dog at home, I am currently only offering drop in visits, walks, care, etc. at your home. This is to guarantee the health and safety of all animals involved. While pet sitting, I love to keep you updated with photos and notes! If I notice anything at all, I will reach out to you so you can stay informed and make the best decision on how you would like me to proceed with the care of your pet.

“Erin was a wonderful sitter! The cats really took to her and even greeted her at the door, which says a lot. She was always prompt, kept them on their regular schedule, and took great care of everything. She made sure the litter boxes were clean, their food and water were always fresh, and, of course, gave them lots of pets and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about them, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands.”

“My cat loves to be around people, but we had to travel a lot this summer. Curt gave our cat lots of attention which we really appreciated. Curt sent pictures from each visit which we enjoyed.”

Leanne M.

“Emma was very helpful with a last minute request for drop in visits for our parrot. We appreciated her responsiveness and understanding of caring for an exotic animal. She went out of her way to help with a meet and greet and being flexible on the trip dates. We would happily hire and refer her to other pet owners.”

Tara L.

“Monica was great with my cat while I was away for over 2 weeks! I got lots of updates and pictures, she made sure he got his meds and plenty of cuddles, and I came home to a happy cat and a clean house. She was also very flexible and understanding when my travel plans got shifted and when my cat got a new prescription after I left. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”

Charles B.

“Solana was amazing as always. She takes a lot of pictures and my cats both come out and love her!”

Natalie L.

“This was our first time having Kyra take care of our three kitties. Her experience, organization and clear communication really put our minds at ease. Our girls seemed to love her and we're looking forward to having her back soon!”

Lisa L.

“Paula was a very good sitter. She loved my pup and helped give him some exercise and food! She took great pics and was willing be flexible with her time!”

About: Hi! I'm Abby, a registered nurse who knows how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet family member. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply a calm and reliable presence, I'm committed to providing attentive, compassionate care. I've cared for animals my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medications, burning off energy with play, or offering extra patience to shy or anxious pets. My nursing background has strengthened my attention to detail, communication, and ability to stay calm in unexpected situations. I work three 12-hour overnight shifts each week as a registered nurse, which gives me several full days off for pet care. My work schedule is set in advance, so I always know my availability and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. As a cat owner myself, caring for my pet is part of my daily routine. Before every shift, I make sure she's fed, has fresh water, clean litter, and plenty of enrichment. When I get home, I spend quality time playing with her and giving her lots of attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'll follow your pet's routine just as carefully as I do my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's needs and follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, litter box care, and any special preferences. In my home, boarded cats will have a clean, calm environment with plenty of toys, fresh water, cozy places to relax, and lots of attention. I do have a friendly resident cat, so I only accept boarding for cats that are comfortable being around other cats. I introduce pets thoughtfully and always prioritize everyone's safety and well-being. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll make sure doors and windows are secure, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Marie did a fantastic job with Snippet and Milky Way. She played with them both every day when visiting, and she was very communicative both before and during her stay.”

“Rachel was great! Thank you so much for watching our dogs.”

About: I looove dogs. I have had up to 4 dogs at a time with every age from 4 months to 14 years. I have housebroken puppies and helped older dogs walk with a harness. I am quick to recognize issues and can determine how serious they are based on my years of experience. I have helped save countless lives volunteering to transport and keep dogs overnight at my house. I am currently a volunteer for the Cause for Canines rescue, helping match dogs looking for homes with families looking for dogs. I am not currently working and have others in my household to watch my dog while I am away. I can easily make your pet a priority base on how often they need to be let out, walked, cuddled, etc. I will not bring my dog to your home. I am comfortable and familiar with crating dogs when away from the home for their safety. They always have access to water and toys with supervision, but once the toys are destroyed I take them away to prevent obstructions. Daily walks of at least 30 minutes are a must. Cat care varies based on the needs of the cat. Some can be free fed, some require meal times. Litter boxes would be cleaned daily. I prefer to keep them indoors for their safety.

“Indy was well cared for and the house was well cleaned.”

J Diann S.

“Sarah was so patient and caring. We couldn’t be happier with her communication and pictures. We would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone and would absolutely use her again in the future!”

Brent P.

“Taylor was great! I reached out rather last minute, and she responded right away. She sent me tons of photos and helpful updates. I could tell my kitties were well taken care of while I was away ❤️”

About: I've been walking dogs for over 8 years now, and honestly, it's become one of my favorite parts of the week! I currently walk for a few regular clients on a weekly basis, and I love getting to know each dog's personality and routine. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I have 2 cats myself, so I've got a soft spot for all kinds of pets! Bouncy puppies who need to burn off some energy, senior dogs who just want a slower and gentler pace, cats who want to play, I am here for it all! I pay attention to what each pet actually needs, whether that's a specific walking route, extra care around leash reactivity, or just keeping things calm and comfortable for a cat while their family's away. I also house sit for 4 different families and their pets, and I'm looking to take on more! Between that and my dog walking clients, I'm used to keeping different routines, feeding schedules, and personalities straight, and making sure every pet feels just as comfortable as they would with their own family home. I also work full-time at Orangetheory Fitness, so I'm active, punctual, and reliable! I show up on time and give your dog every pet my full attention, every single time. My schedule actually works out perfectly for pet care! I coach at Orangetheory from 4am to 10am, so my mornings start early, but that means I've got the whole rest of my day wide open. I walk pets before my shift and swing by again right after, and honestly, I build my whole schedule around whatever your pet needs, not the other way around! The only thing I plan around is making it home to feed my own two cats, but as long as I'm in town and you give me a little heads up, I'm all in, whenever you need me! And since my afternoons and evenings are so open, your pet isn't getting some rushed, in-and-out visit. They're getting real playtime, real love, and someone who's actually excited to be there! Although I don't offer pet sitting in my own home due to my own two boys, I'll gladly watch your pets in their own environment! I like keeping them in their own home to make sure they're still comfortable in their space, and it gives you the peace of mind of knowing they're exactly where you left them! When I'm in your home, I stick closely to whatever routine your pet is used to, feeding times, walk schedules, medications, favorite toys, all of it. I'm not just popping in to check a box, I spend real time with your pet, whether that's playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company so they don't feel like their world flipped upside down while you're gone. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping things tidy and secure the whole time I'm there. And no matter what, you'll always get updates and photos while you're away, so you can see firsthand that your pet (and home) are in great hands!
