“Ilene was fantastic and went above and beyond my expectations which is so greatly appreciated! Ilene’s communication and timeliness is perfect and even provided me with adorable pics & videos of playtime with Rozz which warmed my heart while I was away. Ilene’s love and care for animals is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend Ilene for any of your pet care needs!”
“Berenice was consistent and kept my cats from guessing at what time they will eat and get some cuddles. I appreciate this because they do not like change. She communicated via Rover only which was a bit hard because of where we were so next time I will insist on getting texts instead if possible. She was also very responsive when I asked her to do something.”
“Little Miss Oaks get so excited when Carole comes over and it just melts my heart! I’m so happy to have found someone who loves my little just as much as I do.”
“Emily was quick and responsive to a last minute drop in request. She provided a thorough note after her visit letting me know how they spent their time and my pup’s behavior and mood. I appreciate her being so responsive and thorough!”
“Kennedy watched our babies for the first time and she went above and beyond to make sure our cats were well cared for during our vacation. She bonded with our pets and help them being less anxious. Her detailed updates helped us reduce our separation anxiety too. We definitely plan to hire her again. She is a superstar!”
“Jahaira took great care of my senior kitty! She was excellent at responding and sending photo updates, as well as giving my cat her needed medication and wanted play time”
About: For the last five years, I have worked at zoos, shelters, and sanctuaries with a variety of animals! In the past I have owned reptiles, and I currently own one dog and three cats. Additionally, I usually have at least one foster animal in my care at all times. I understand that each animal is an individual and will adjust my behavior accordingly. I am happy to be active if your dog is a runner, or a couch potato if they're more of a snuggler! I have experience providing medication and special diets. I am currently working with my dog to decrease his reactivity and my cats on harness training! I am more than happy to do any enrichment or training you request with your furry friend! I am currently between jobs and have few set commitments. This allows me to be extremely flexible in my schedule for all your pet care needs! I ensure that in addition to basic necessities, my animals are given physical and mental enrichment each day, whether it's a training session with my dog or a puzzle feeder for the cats. I am more than happy to do the same for your pets!
“Jackie was thoughtful and communicative:) My super shy cat was out and about during her visits, and she included sweet photos after each one! I’m so glad I had her to count on while I was away.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. Every time I get the opportunity to watch a fur baby, I treat them like they are my own. I have done some dog/puppy training as well, and I've always gotten great reviews on what one's pet can do by the time they go home (If interested) As of right now, my schedule is completely open, Monday - Sunday. I am in a transition period, so I would love to prioritize your fur baby. I live in an apartment on the east side, so I’m close to several parks and have access to trails, lakeside, dog parks if these attributes benefit your baby. I’m a very active person, so taking your animal on several walks a day is a treat to me!
About: I have been pet sitting since the age of 13. I have been dog sitting since then and now have my own cats. I have cared for kittens- adult cats and puppies-senior dogs. I am a full time teacher so on weekdays, I am available after 3:30. On weekends, I am available at any time. I am willing to stay overnights at houses, do house visits, and do walks with the pups. Typically, if I am just checking in, I will make sure there is food and water, everything is clean, the pup/kitty is heathy, and spend some time with them. The amount of time and how things are done will also depend on the frequency and job situation.
“Alexis was great! Very friendly and good communicator. She is one of the few people that our cat has come out to say hi to while we’re gone. We were confident our cat was well taken care of!”
“Laurie was very flexible and accommodating, professional, and friendly. She kept me updated with texts and pictures and took good care of Luna.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of different sizes since I was about 12 years old. Coworkers, friends and family have allowed me to dog sit their furry friends for 3+ days in addition to walking and feeding their dogs. I also trained my family’s rescue collie when he was a puppy. I currently work full time. But I will be able to watch your pup most mornings / evenings and weekends. (8 am - 530 pm) If given instructions, I will follow them perfectly. Your dog is part of your family. And my wish is to make them as comfortable as possible when walking/watching them. This could either be from petting the animal, exercising the dog, or giving the animal distance until he/she is comfortable.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years, but done it more seriously the past two years. I usually do overnight stays with my friends/families dogs! I’ve done everything from administering medications to cleaning up accidents. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I don’t have time constraints (for the most part), so I can take my time caring for your pets. I would like to say I’m very good at being aware of my surroundings. I’ve taken care of dogs that aren’t dog-friendly, so I know how to handle those situations when on walks, etc. I also realize that growing trust with animals is extremely important.
About: Loving, reliable pet sitter with years of experience and flexible hours. I treat your pets like family as I do with my own by giving them playtime, comfort, and genuine love. I am currently a paralegal student with online courses thus I am home available for your pet whenever they need it! I have two cats myself who are extremely friendly with all animals! Evie is an orange gal who is 3 and Tumi is a tabby gal who is 2 years old :) I care for pets in my clean, cozy downtown apartment, making sure they feel at home. They get lots of attention, playtime, walks (for dogs) as there is a nearby dog park, comfy spots to nap, and I always stick to their routine. I love sending photo updates so you feel connected while you’re away!
About: Hey there! In my home, I’ve always had a dog, and I have always taken care of different types of dogs since I was younger. I’m currently part-time, therefore I’m dedicating part of my time to walk dogs! When I’m not working, clients can reach out to me, for dog walking. At my client’s home, I will try to make it as seamless as possible, so that they don’t have to worry about their dog with me.

I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry at all about my pet or my home. Sydney kept me up to date on how things were going and everything I ask her to do relating to my pet and home were done. She is a reliable, loving pet care giver. My pet loves her and the next time I travel I will not hesitate to have Sydney take care of her again.”
