“I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! She took amazing care of our three dogs while we were away for a week long trip. She sent pics and updates throughout everyday, took them on daily walks, played outside and spent so much time just hanging with them so they’d feel loved while we were gone. We also came home to a clean house and watered plants 🙌🏼🙌🏼 She’s so great!!”
“Bethany was AMAZING with my two boys while we were out of town. They absolutely loved her. She gave pupdates and was communicative. Everything went so smoothly. I hole-heartedly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been fostering and volunteering at animal shelters for over 10 years so working with animals has been a big part of my life for a long time. I really love animals and care about making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m dependable easygoing and good at picking up on what each pet needs whether it’s a slow walk for a senior pup or some patience with a nervous rescue. A bonus: I love photography so you'll definitely get photos of your fur-baby while you're away. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can usually fit in walks or drop ins during the day. I’ve been fostering and volunteering with animals for years and I’ve had members of my own fur family for 20 years. Pet care has always been a big part of my life and I’m used to balancing it with my routine and making sure pets get the time and attention they need. Whether I’m at your place or mine, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and happy. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and follow any instructions you give me. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, meds, and just hanging out giving lots of love. I always keep things clean and safe so you don’t have to worry.
“Kara was absolutely incredible! She stayed at my house to watch my dog, Cash, and took amazing care of him and my home. Cash seemed to have an absolute blast. Lots of playtime, attention, and love. I came home to a happy, tired pup and everything in perfect order. Kara’s genuine care and reliability gave me complete peace of mind. I’d trust her with Cash and my home anytime!”
“Tammy was so sweet and attentive! She took great care of our babies and sent lots of pictures every day. The house looked great when we got home and I could tell the pups had been loved on! She even left a sweet little treat for us at the end 😊 Will definitely book again!”
“Madison was great! All of my animals seemed happy and well taken care of when I got home and my house looked just like how I left it! All the cute photo updates were awesome to receive!”
“Elise exceeded every single one of my expectations. So responsible, reliable, kind and considerate. She left my home in immaculate condition and my needy and demanding cats were happy as clams. She’s a star sitter for a reason and she would always be my first choice sitter!”
“James is amazing. He recognizes body language of dogs even if they are brand new to their environment and himself. He takes extra care to make sure dynamics of dogs are well met. He always makes sure their care is his top priority and helps identify new medical issues if they arrise. I recommend James to anyone needing someone to care for their pets. 12/10.”
“We knew Elena was a good match during our meet and greet. A polite UH student, in the National guard, who just misses her parents and dog back home. We normally board our dogs and use Rover visits for our cats. This was much less stressful, and affordable. Knowing someone was with the dogs day and night in our own home, it can’t be beat. We came home to a clean house and happy pets, we have been telling all our friends about her. Thanks Elena!!!”
“I highly recommend Shyanne! It was so lovely to have a worry-free vacation while she was watching my pets. She is kind, compassionate, intelligent, and reliable. My pets loved her, and my cat can be pretty skittish! She has a ton of experience with animals, which was also reassuring, and she understood how delicate French bulldogs can be. Thank you Shyanne for the wonderful care you provided.”
“Ren did a great job taking care of our Golden Doodle. It was great to be able to go out of town and to be able to leave our dog at home where she's comfortable and happy. Ren followed our instructions perfectly, and the house was cleaner when we got home then when we left. It was a pleasure to have Ren take care of Ginger. We will definitely book with Ren next time we go out of town!”
“Denisha was amazing! She was super prompt with communication and made leaving my two pups so much easier. She catered to all their needs, kept our home in great shape, and I could tell my dogs felt happy and loved the whole time. We came home to two very content pups and a tidy house. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!”
“Riven did an outstanding job pet sitting for my two dogs. It was so nice to just come home to my dogs and not have to go pick them up at a boarding place. She is professional and very good with communication. Will definitely use her for future pet sitting.”
About: I have been in the animal field for 14+ years and I am very knowledgeable with the medical side of animal needs. I have 2 dogs of my own and they are my world. I can not bring your fur babies to my apartment because of restrictions they have in place but I can do drop in visits when needed while you are away! I live in Madison and I work in Decatur. If you have any questions then please feel free to text me! Thank you. I can house sit for most stays during the week but on the weekends it will mainly be 2-3 drop in visits because of my own animals and getting them taken care of as well. :) My life is revolved around pet care with both my home life and my career. I take care of animals all throughout the day and I come home to pet care as well. I will be able to do drop in visits and care for your pets in both the morning time and the evenings. I will base how many drop in visits I can do depending on location if I can do more than 2 a day.
“Jennifer was wonderful! She took care of our three big babies while we were out of the country and she did such a good job. She’s a great communicator and left the house in good shape which was so appreciated. Super trustworthy and easy to work with! We will be using Jennifer again ?”

Felicity was great, very caring and patient. One of my dogs became agitated and missed me. She remained calm and understanding the whole time and made this a successful sitting situation. This was my first time having my pets sat for, so I was nervous about how it might go. She was professional and understanding with me; keeping me informed along the way. I trust her for future needs if needed. My cats absolutely adored her.
Shyanne was fantastic! She took excellent care of our pup and our home while we were away. We came back to a happy, well-loved dog and a spotless house. She truly went above and beyond, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!
Tammy was so sweet and attentive! She took great care of our babies and sent lots of pictures every day. The house looked great when we got home and I could tell the pups had been loved on! She even left a sweet little treat for us at the end 😊 Will definitely book again!
