“Lulu was excellent with both of my dogs who have very different personalities. She was thorough and sent me pictures/text updates when she was there. I fully trust her to watch any of my animals in the future. 5/5”

“Maddie is great! We have hired her for two vacations now, she is reliable for check-ins with my group of kittens and takes photos to let us know they’re doing well. We will definitely be using Maddie again in the future!”

“Kristy is absolutely the best! Both my cats are in love with her, even my shy girl. It's such peace of mind to know my babies are being cared for as if they were her own. Kristy goes above and beyond and I couldn't be happier. I've already got her lined up for more visits. Thank you, Kristy! I don't know what I would have done without you!”

“Saige is awesome! She goes above and beyond to care for my pup and to communicate concerns. Great peace of mind when traveling knowing my pup is receiving high quality care. Thanks!”

“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Always love when Rachel is available to check in on my fur baby. It’s nice when she’s been available whenever I need her for check ins. She is very reliable & follows my, hopefully, simple instructions. :)”

“Olga was awesome. Our dog was exercised, fed and relieved himself. Pictures of the visit sent in real time. Will definitely use the service again!”

Kirk P.

“We worked with Monet three times during the week we met her and she is phenomenal! Her first visit put us at complete ease when she met our two cats and 1 dog. It was immediately clear that she possessed the knowledge, care, and attention to take care of our three pets without us worrying. The next two visits during the week were drop-ins. Monet sent great pictures, provided detailed visit reports, and respected all requests that were previously covered. It is so reassuring to work with Monet and know that she'll provide that love and care when we need. Thank you, Monet!”

About: I have taken care of cats my entire life, but I’ve also taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs on several occasions. Let me help make the time away from your pets less stressful. I have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I just need two days notice on what all of my duties are going to be. If you want me housesitting as well as pet sitting, I am able to do that if you are wanting to just have me stop in that is perfectly fine as well just let me know exactly what you want me to do and I will get it done.

“Megan was great! I would recommend her to anyone - she took great care of my cat while I was out of town and was kind & definitely made me feel comfortable leaving my pet in her hands!”

“Lillian was great! Very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Provided detailed updates and took great care of our pup. Would recommend!”

About: I have taken care of 2 dogs in my life. I know the basic’s, example , feeding, walking, and bathing. Wanting to spend my time to help all dog owners find someone they can trust while they are away. I’m working Full time currently but have time mostly in the evenings throughout the whole week. Giving time for your dog and providing love till you are ready to pick them up or drop off I have a fenced yard with neighbors fence near mine. They do have pets as well,Husky's, they are vocal and jumpy but I mostly supervise outside in case anything may happen. My home is near a dog park where they can have more space to roam and get all there energy out.

“We always use Catherine when we need pet sitting. She is very reliable, goes above and beyond for our difficult kitty's meds when needed, and always keeps us informed of their care during our time away.”

About: I have nine years of professional dog sitting care experience. But I have been dog sitting family and friends dogs for much longer. Through the years I have cared for dogs of all ages. I began my dog sitting career caring for two elderly pups with anxiety and trauma backgrounds, so medication and diapers were a regular part of their care. Since then I have cared for high energy puppies, middle age pups with health concerns, and young at heart elderly dogs with regular medication. I have another career that allows me to work from home so I can stay with your sweet dog throughout the day. I also do doggy daycare in your home, spending quality time with your dog if you are needing to be gone long hours. Unfortunately I do not care for cats, dogs with aggressive tendencies, or dog-sit in my own home. Also I do not take dogs to dog parks unless there is a long built relationship and trust. I require a meet and greet at the home before time of service to make sure that everyone/dog feels safe and comfortable. I have another career allowing me to work from home, so I am available most times of the day. I also provide pet care on the weekends and some holidays. I do not provide pet care in my home. So while dog sitting in your home I provide the same care you would provide if you were home with your fur family member. One of the things I appreciate about dog sitting, is it allows dogs to stay in their own safe environment and routine, keeping them healthy and happy. For doggy daycare, I provide time of play, walks if needed, and hopefully lots of snuggles.

“It was a delight to meet Rachael for a drop in visit. My pup took to her immediately. Looking forward to her taking care of Pippa while we're away. She asked good questions, she had good responses to my questions, and she left me feeling much more comfortable about having someone stay in my home.”

“Morgan did a great job caring for Mr. Thick Whiskers. She provided helpful daily updates and found a new hiding spot for his food after it became apparent that we have an acrobat cat. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have grown up always having dogs in my house. When I left for college, it only felt right to get a dog of my own. I have always been the dog sitter for my friends, and former teammates. I have experience of giving medicine and cooking up some food for our lovely pups. I am a very active person, I love long walks, but also enjoy a relaxing day with some extra pets/scratches. I have my Fridays and weekends off. I am able to board for the weekend starting Thursday night. I am typically home all day during the weekend. The maximum I am out of the house is about three hours for my workout and church. During the week I can do drop ins or walks between 6am-8:30am or 6pm and after. I live in a two-story townhome with a basement. I have a dog of my own, who is friendly. I have a long leash line in the back to allow the dogs to be outside. I also live across from the dog park. I currently live with my sister and her boyfriend as well, so somebody will usually always be home.

About: I've taken care of cats & dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, senior doggos, kittens, and difficult cats. I am typically off around 4pm Monday - Thursday, & noon on Fridays. My work schedule is pretty flexible and adjustments can be made. Weekends that I am in town are open availability other than Church on Sunday mornings! My cat is not a fan of other pets so all services would be provided outside of my home. I will keep your precious pet safe, and send lots of cute update pictures!

About: We have been watching dogs for over 10 years now and have been the “go to” person for excellent dog care. We began when we were both 13 watching friend’s dogs while they left for extended vacations. We’ve watched dogs for 4 months while the family moved down south temporarily. We have also been trained with multiple sizes and breeds of dogs as well as many ages of dogs. We both were working as part time dog walker/sitters in Chicago while we attended school. I (Isaac) have owned three dogs in my lifetime. I have owned a golden retriever, a golden lab, and a golden retriever/lab mix. We both are available in the evenings and on Saturdays. Special skills would be keeping your dog entertained and loved. We take our job seriously and want to ensure the greatest safety when watching dogs! I only work at most 7 hours a day for 5 days a week. I have a wife who stays at home and is willing to take over when needed. She also has 10 years of experience with dogs and is a certified dog walker. I have a standard golden doodle which we keep on a fairly strict schedule. We make sure he gets tons of rest, make sure he eats what he needs to eat, and exercise the amount required for his breed and age. We always make sure that objects in the house that could potentially be of harm to him are kept away and if we do have to leave the house, he always is put inside his kennel after being let out to use the restroom. We always have save time throughout the day to train and time to play. I have a part time job on the side so if I cannot be there to care for the dogs during their set schedules my wife is also a certified rover sitter. Our main priority is to take care of our clients animals and make sure they stick with their schedules! We always make sure they are given proper amounts of food, water, and of course daily exercise and mind exercises. This of course varies on the dog, but we like to stick with our clients recommendations on how they like to keep their dogs healthy.
