“We had a meet-and-greet with Anneke prior to her house and petsitting next week. She is delightful! Great communication. Sweet with the animals. We immediately felt great peace of mind. We look forward to having her care for our furry ones during our vacation.”
About: Hi, I'm Brianna, and I absolutely animals!! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just cuddles on the couch, I’m here to provide your dog or cat with the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. With years of experience caring for animals, I know how important it is to offer a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your fur baby. From energetic pups and kittens who need lots of playtime to older dogs and cats who appreciate a bit of extra TLC, I’ll treat your pet like family. Your pets happiness and well-being are my top priority, and I can’t wait to give them the best care possible! Animal care isn’t just something I do—it’s a joyful part of my daily life. I’ve always felt at home with animals, and being a pet sitter lets me integrate my love for pets with my healthy lifestyle. Whether it’s going on daily walks, playing fetch, or just snuggling up with a furry friend, caring for pets brings me so much happiness. I make sure to maintain a balanced routine that keeps me active and engaged, which means your pets will get the best of both worlds—lots of energy and attention! I’d love to share that with your pets while you’re away, providing them with the care and companionship they deserve. While I currently live in an apartment and don’t offer pet care in my own home, I’m happy to offer professional and loving pet sitting in the comfort of your own home. I believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, and I’m more than willing to come to you to provide the best care, whether it’s dog walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to giving them the attention they deserve in the place they feel safest!
“Chloe was fantastic with Dexter and Deborah. She sent plenty of photos each day and contacted us if there was an issues immediately. She eased our guilt by taking good care of them while we were on vacation.”
About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life! My family dogs have a special place in my heart <3 They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as a diabetic 3 years ago. So, I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Currently, I only have one cat living with me. She is a domestic medium-hair, and just over a year old. Even though I adopted her last May, she still has so much kitten energy and keeps me on my toes. As a graduated senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. I have the pleasure to have a fenced in backyard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Your pets will have quick access for potty breaks and outside play time. The B-line trail is also just behind our house, so we can plan for plenty of walks while in my care. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus. As of June 2025, she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.
“Audrey was exceptional!! She stayed at my place for over a week while I was on vacation. Great communication. I know my kitties were happy - Oliver doesn’t cuddle new people and warmed up to her and started cuddling Audrey. A sure sign of a happy and well cared for kitty 😊”
“Kalee could tell I was nervous about leaving my cats for the first time. She was great - spending high quality time with them, sending me great pics. It put me at ease. I highly recommend Kalee.”
“Jeffery once again has been wonderful to our cats. He is trustworthy and communicative! One of our cats are shy and he went out of his way to go upstairs to make sure he got a picture of him under the bed. Thank you so much Jeffery again!”
About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent of 11 years. For over a decade, I have cared for my own pets and have also had the pleasure of pet sitting annually for four wonderful families. Whether it is walks, playtime, or feeding, I treat every animal like my own. I am available during 12:00 PM-1:00 PM most weekdays for a quick visit and after 5:00 PM. I am available most weekends for all hours. I personally do not do dog/cat sitting in my own home. I do have a lovely 1 year old mini Schnauzer named Suki and had a beloved mini Schnauzer named Layla for 9 years!
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I've trained and raised my own rescue dog (100lbs), but I've lived/worked with many pet personalities--ranging from timid kittens and blind chihuahuas all the way to a disabled senior St. Bernard and aggressive German Shepherd. I have a deep compassion for all animals, so I am always eager to make more furry friends! I work two part-time jobs, both of which are very independently driven/flexible, so I am able to work within whatever schedule works best for you and your pet. I am experienced with animals of all demeanors and training levels, so I am able to adapt quickly to their specific needs to ensure their comfort and safety.
“She came at approximate time's agreed on. She was 1.5 hour late once. But I'm a little overprotective of my only feline fur child. Lol. My main irritation is she did not seem to follow feeding instructions however. I had clear instructions on everything typed up. With everything out. I know because I have caregivers who came some to check on things when she was not here. She gave my girl the dry food only apparently. And a lot of it. I do not like to feed dry food. But my girl has become very picky with eating. So I mix it up often. I had instructions for the dry, wet and freeze dried foods. I had a bag of opened food that should have lasted until my return had the instructions been followed. I bought a new bag and extra canned food so I would not have to get any food once home from my vacation. The remaining amount of the dry was not only gone but the new bag was opened and used. It appeared very little of the canned food I purchased was gone. I know Tawny does mostly boarding. But if is going to agree on drop in for cats she should follow th feeding instructions. My girl has been difficult with eating her canned food since I got home.”
“She was great! I had a change in plans and she was able to accommodate me for an extra day. My girls were happy and comfy. She made sure to spent time with them and frequently sent me pictures.”
About: I've had a pet dog for as long as I can remember. My parents taught me the value of having a happy, healthy companion and instilled a love of pets and pet care that will last a lifetime. I've interacted with a variety of dogs over the years, both in my house and in friends' houses, from small Pomeranians to medium Beagles to large Black Labs and Great Danes. I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who I've had since he was 6 weeks old, so your puppy will be comfortable with me! I know that trusting me with your pet is trusting me with a member of your family, and I take that honor very seriously. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I currently work part time sporadically throughout the day, so I have plenty of opportunities to visit your pet during the day. I also have full availability in the evenings and at night, so overnight visits are not an issue. As I mentioned, I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who would love to keep your pet company! I live in a quiet neighborhood a short drive away from Clinton Dog Park, so on nice days, we can take a trip to the park and run around there as well.
About: Hi I’m Regan! I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12, with services including pet sitting, dog walks, drop in visits and more! I work for myself and as a Pilates instructor, so I would be able to check on your pets throughout the day as needed :) I make sure the home is tidy and animal safe and create a space for them if they have a bed, kennel, or toys depending on the needs of the pet.

Katherine F.
“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”

She’s incredibly loving, attentive, and always keeps us updated with sweet photos that make us feel so at ease while traveling. Knowing they’re in such good hands brings us so much peace of mind. She’s truly the best!”
Kaiya G.
“Kaiya is fantastic with animals, and especially with dogs! She grew up in household with no fewer than two, and most of her life with four dogs that were well cared for and very loved. After graduating from college she quickly welcomed dogs in need into her own home. She adopted a dog that was stray, near ferrel, large, and quite imposing and with time, attention, and affection transformes her into one of the most kind and well behaved dogs I have known. Kaiya knows dogs, loves dogs, and treats them with kindness and respect. I highly recommend her for pet care!”

Marisa H.
“Marisa adopted a puppy two years ago, and I have watched her develop into a fantastic dog mom these past two years. Marisa demonstrates extraordinary patience, love, and commitment to not only her dog, but all animals she meets. The first thing she does when she comes home is greet her dog, Cow, with the biggest smile. She always has time to give him plenty of love and attention. Cow has lots of special needs due to allergies, and Marisa is amazing at being accommodating and caring for anything he requires. I promise that if you hire Marisa to care for your furry friends you can expect her to provide the same level of love, attention, and care to your pets as she gives her own. I would trust her in a heartbeat to watch over my own pet, and I can guarantee you will feel the same way. Book Marisa while you can!”
