“Amy was a godsend for us! She altered times to meet an emergency situation that came up as well as having to deal with a problematic neighbor of ours. She was prompt, followed our requests, and was fantastic about communicating! Our dog was more than comfortable with her from the start, and she clearly loves animals and her job. She takes it very seriously, making her extremely dependable!”


“Mal did a great job taking care of our four cats! She was responsive, spent extra time there, was able to give our fiesty cat her medication, and went above and beyond keeping everything clean and giving us updates! We will definitely book with her again!”


“Paige was amazing and I am so glad I booked with her. I had some flight complications due to weather and Paige was able to extend care and be flexible to check in on my little guy. I had daily photo updates and could see that he was very happy and cared for while I was away. Very appreciative of Paige and absolutely recommend her to others looking for reliable pet care.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized care for each pup I look after. I take the time to get to know your dog’s unique needs, routines, and quirks, ensuring they feel right at home. I offer regular photo and video updates, so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing while you’re away. With a safe, cozy home and a focus on fun and comfort, your dog will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or snuggle time, I tailor everything to your pet’s preferences! I am working from home and part time, so my schedule is flexible as I make my own schedule. I will tailor my schedule to yours. In My Home: I offer a safe, cozy environment with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. While my large yard isn’t fenced in, I ensure that outdoor time is always supervised and safe. Inside, my two shy cats provide gentle company for pets who enjoy calm, quiet companionship. I offer a relaxed and secure atmosphere where pets can roam freely, rest, or have quiet time as they need. I also provide lots of space for your pet to retreat to if they prefer solitude. Whether it’s a play session, a nap in a cozy spot, or simply some peaceful downtime, your pet will always feel at ease. In Your Home: When I care for your pet in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I offer drop-in visits to feed, play, and clean up, or take your dog for a walk to ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need. I understand the importance of a pet’s familiar surroundings, so I make sure they feel safe and secure in their own space. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to provide the attention your pet needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.

About: Hey there, I’m Danielle, 36, of Belleville. I’m a mother of 6 human children and only 2 fur children right now. That’s really saying something because I’ve always had plenty of animals around me. My family has been on the right side of animal empathy for as long as I can remember. As a family we’ve volunteered and fostered for the local humane society.

Providing a lifeline to your other most valuable assets left behind can offer a peace of mind while you are away.
