“Laura G. was an excellent catsitter with my big elder kitty, Axel. She was wonderful about establishing trust with a meet and greet, and she was flexible with our needs for Axel overnight. 10/10 experience...when I got home from out of town, I could truly tell that Axel had been cared for and adored. Laura is a total professional; the photos and videos of our beloved Axel while we were away was a nice touch every day. Laura also respected our home greatly. I felt very safe leaving instructions for Axels care and our house with Laura G. We appreciated her so much and absolutely will use her services again. Axel says thanks Laura and hopes he gets to hang out with you again soon! Use Laura, she is a rare gem!”


“Margaret was great! She stayed with our two girls for a weekend- one being medically complex and needing medications at specific times. She gave us frequent updates and we knew our girls were in great hands!”


“Thank you so much Jade! Jade gave us updates every few hours on our 3 day trip without our fur baby. She made sure our pup was well fed and walked even in the negative degree weather! Couldn’t recommend her more!”


“Lisa was a fabulous caregiver for my cat, Rizzo! She is a loving and caring person and went above and beyond the perimeters of our engagement and spent extra time with him, bought him toys, and watched over my house and watered flowers too in my absence. I highly recommend her for any pet care or house sitting or both.”


“Abby was great to work. She communicated frequently and asked questions to make sure she followed what Yoly needed. She kept Yoly in her routine and was a great house guest. I would not hesitate to book with Abby again.”


About: I have taken care of just about any animal you can think of. I was a veterinary assistant for 4 years. I am 25 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree online at SIUE. I am a teaching assistant for the local school district now! However, I really miss seeing pets all the time so I would love to pet sit for you! I have my own fur babies but I love to meet new pets and build connections with them as well as their owners! I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload! I am in college and trying to save money for my future and pet sitting is a very flexible way for me to do that, plus I enjoy it so much! I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well! I like to learn the little things that each pet I take care of likes most and use that to bring them comfort and joy while I am caring for them!


“Dominick house sat and took care of my 5 year old sheepdog for 9 days while I was on vacation and he was amazing! I am always nervous about leaving my dog with anyone and it was all very last minute, but he arrived early and was very polite. He sent me pictures of my dog and made sure he had daily cuddles. I came home to a very happy pup and the house was exactly as I left it. Would absolutely recommend him if you’re looking for a responsible and responsive rover!”
