“My wife and I love Paula!!! Almost as much as it appears that Elsie loves her! We are SO at ease knowing that Elsie will be cared for the same way that we care for her. SUCH A RELIEF AND A PLEASURE!”

“Alisa is a true animal lover and my gang adored her. She is a great communicator, always letting you know how everything is going, when she is arriving, when she is leaving. She sends lots of photos and videos and was a joy to work with. I felt like my guys were in great hands and I would absolutely work with her again!”

“Andrew watched my dog while I went away for a work trip and did an exceptional job. He sent updates and continued my dogs training while I was away. Andrew is very dependable and I will be using his services again”

“Madelyn took care of my 14-year old Siberian Husky, Kodiak, who has arthritis. She house-sat him while we were away on vacation for 12 days. She was wonderful with him, taking him on frequent short walks during the day. When we got home, we found a very neat house and a very happy (and tired!) dog. I would absolutely hire her again.”


“The doggos and I are very happy to have met Sara. She’s communicative and reliable, sent photos every day and treated them well while keeping to their routine. This was a short work trip but I’d be perfectly comfortable asking Sara to care for them at my place if I had to be away longer.”

“Excellent sitter. Tiffany house sat for us and watched our 3 dogs, who are definitely a handful, she did great with them and they loved her. Will definitely come back next time we need a sitter.”

“Kristina looked after our 2 5-year old lab/shepherd dogs at our home for 8 days. We couldn't have hoped for a better experience - Kristina goes above and beyond in every capacity. Kristina was excellent with our boys. They absolutely adore her! Kristina is a great communicator. She kept us well-informed as to how things were going at our home. She's mature, responsible, and a pleasure to interact with. Thanks to Kristina, we had a carefree vacation and returned home to 2 very happy, healthy, and content pups and a spotlessly clean home. Kristina is a gem!”


“Sarah was fantastic! We booked her for our 2 labs because we were getting married ! We didn't have to worry about them once, she played with them, and kept them happy. We would absolutely recommend her !”

About: As I will be your dogs new best friend I will create a homely atmosphere for your fur baby. I have experience with all types of animals as well as special needs animals. I have experience administering medications. I have taken care of special needs animals before as one of my family members does have a dog prone to seizures as well as special needs. I have watched her many times and have never missed med times or had any problems. As a fur baby lover, I love car rides as well as trips to the dog park. I love cuddling and relaxing with all the fur babies under my care. While your fur baby is in my care, I will give them lots of loving as I know a new face might be a little bit scary. Your fur baby will be provided with days of fun and love. I am available any time to watch your fur baby whether it be just one walk or a whole week pet/housesitting. The only exception is if I’m already scheduled for someone else. My biggest concern is keeping your fur baby content and healthy. One of the best ways I have found to lessen stress is keeping a strict schedule.
About: Hi! I'm Liz, a dedicated animal caretaker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and pocket pets. I'm passionate about keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe, whether it's through daily walks, playtime, or administering medications. I treat every animal like a member of my own family and take pride in providing consistent, loving, care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work from home, so pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine in a way that is structured but flexible, depending on the pets' needs, and the type of care I am providing. I have over an acre in my back yard that can be enjoyed for playtime with pets. I have secure doors in my house, and I keep my home secure and pet-proof. No small objects or breakable items in areas where we play and spend time. I have a pet first-aid kit on hand in my home. I have contact information for local veterinarians and emergency clinics readily available. I have some basic knowledge in first-aid and CPR for dogs and cats.
“Amy took excellent care of my 2 dogs for the weekend!! She was detail-oriented, professional, and followed all my care instructions. I felt at ease on my vacation, knowing that Amy was watching my dogs. <3”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. What I Offer 🐾 A 100% open and flexible schedule—your pets will always get the time, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. 🐾 Patience, playfulness, and genuine compassion for every pet I meet. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, playtime, or extra TLC, I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, available any day and time. Since I mostly work from home, I can easily accommodate bookings, cancellations, last-minute changes, and special requests. The only exception is occasional weekend evenings after 5 PM, when I work at The Colony in Woodstock. Other than that, I’m always here for you and your pets! I live in a spacious three-bedroom, 2 story home with a large open yard, perfect for pets to play and explore. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to stretch, run, and enjoy the outdoors while getting all the exercise and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy.
About: Experienced with senior dogs, pups with separation anxiety, and those that need medication. Compassionate, attentive, and reliable, you can trust me to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand, wholeheartedly, the stress of leaving your dog! Let me help. I am in between jobs so I currently have open availability. Please let me know in advance, if possible, so I can plan accordingly. Keeping a dog's routine is important while you’re away to help minimize their stress as well as yours. While I can’t host dogs in my apartment, I’m more than happy to provide care in your home where your pet feels safe, relaxed, comfortable and where I can easily adapt to their routines.
“Abbey was an excellent caretaker for our two cats, one of whom needs a challenging daily medication (syringe to the mouth and he's a spicy one). In addition to daily updates, we received a fabulous assortment of photos and videos daily that helped us when we were missing the boys extra over the holidays. Thank you Abbey!”

“I’m so happy to have met Samantha. She is incredibly kind and took great care of my dogs (and house!) while I was away for an extended work trip and they clearly adored her too. They took to her immediately the afternoon of our meet & greet which left me feeling completely at ease leaving them behind.”
