Simon was amazing with Hazel! He kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. Hazel came home worn out from all the fun she had at Simon’s. We’re incredibly grateful for his patience, especially since Hazel is still learning her manners after we adopted her from the shelter a few months ago. Simon even went the extra mile by helping teach her commands. He’s been wonderful, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him for care again in the future.

Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!

Megan was prompt to answer, eager to host! My dogs were comfortable from the moment they met her! They played in her yard and hung out on her couch! She accommodated an early pick up and the pups came back happy and well exercised! She did a great job! Thank you Megan! Highly recommend her!

Sydney was a huge lifesaver when I needed someone to watch my dog while in town for a few days. She was awesome with my dog Atlas, who’s usually pretty skeptical of new people, and he loved playing with her dog Honey

About: I’m a caring pet sitter with 5+ years’ experience and ASPCA training. I love all animals and specialize in puppy training, senior care, multi-pet homes, and pets with special needs, providing safe, loving care and regular updates. I provide structured and attentive care for every pet, ensuring their health, safety, and happiness. Daily, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, enrichment, grooming touch-ups, and a calm bonding session to make pets feel loved and secure. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. Weekly, I focus on deeper tasks like grooming, cleaning habitats or litter boxes, socialization or training sessions, and tracking any medications or special care needs. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and thriving while maintaining a consistent, reliable routine. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In your home, I follow your routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, while keeping the space tidy and providing updates with photos. In my home, I create a calm, comfortable environment with separate areas for pets as needed, enrichment activities, supervised play, and gentle attention. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, small animals, multi-pet households, puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs, ensuring every animal feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

About: Life long all animal charmer and lover. I am good as pack leader while also allowing your animal all the freedom and fun within safety standards. Safety first, then teamwork 😊 I am sure fitting your dog into my routine would be lovely if they situation is right. I am flexible and would be accommodating to pet/owners needs without problem. Early morning or afternoon is best 😊 Nothing is more important to me than your pets safety while in my care. I can provide a stable, loving environment away from home for your pet.

About: Being a senior makes me old school, like being exactly on time or a bit early. I subscribe to the Dog Whisperer tenet of being ALPHA and pack leader to dogs in my care. A dog in a pack is a happy dog. I only use positive reinforcement. Ex.: dog pulling on the leash can be fixed by changing directions every 4 steps to the left, walking in a square, this encourages the dog to slow down and watch his human. Dog hair is a welcome addition to a life well lived, that's why my dogs get furniture and bed privileges. One fact about my dogs i pay attention to is how many sips of water they take. On a very hot day I've seen 30-40. This helps me know easily how my pet is feeling so I can react accordingly. Maybe time to put the soft Frisbee away! I'm fully retired, and rise early, so morning walks are easy. Breakfast is next, and 1hr later another walk outside. I like to prep a bag to take to the park. My fav is Schiller Park in German Village. I don't own a pet currently, I've had some health issues that are now resolved. Having been an owner twice in my life has given me many many experiences so I am flexible.

About: I have extensive experience in geriatric and special needs care. I've given injections, medicine, eye drops, ect. and I'm not afraid to learn more special care for your pet! I'm currently working from home and am able to care for your pet most of the day. We don't travel much and like doing house work/projects so we are home most of the time. We have a fenced in backyard for your dog to run, play, and potty. We have an assortment of dog rope toys and tennis balls, a variety of treat types, a large dog bed, and an XL dog crate if needed.

About: I adopted a hound mix from the shelter who was so afraid of the world and has become the most well-adjusted, friendly boy in the world! I also adopted a stray dog in December who has already grown leaps and bounds! I would love to pet sit/dog walk for you and love taking dogs to their own private sniff spots when they spend numerous days with me :) I am pet-sitting full time, so I have all the time to focus on caring for pets :) I am willing to come to your home anytime of day or pet sit in my home, 7 days a week. I have two friendly dogs at home and can watch your pet at home. Otherwise, I am more than happy to pet sit at your home! Dogs stay on leash unless we are at a fenced sniffspot, as approved by owner :)

Anudari was super sweet and kind. She was willing to keep Apollo till late which was super helpful for my husband and I! She sent tons of pics and videos of Apollo during his stay and he seemed so happy and tired by the end of it. She also has a super cute puppy who kept Apollo company.

Ellen was great! She was ready at the time of drop off and immediately made Kal feel welcome. She sent me pictures to let me know that my pup was doing good. Ellen had all of his things ready to go when I arrived. Her patience with my puppy was exceptional! Kal-El didn't want to get into the car. Highly recommend... I will be back.

Kaleigh and Connor were lifesavers! I travel with my pup Rocky for work and it’s always a little nerve wracking to agree to a new situation. I felt totally comfortable leaving Rocky…. and completely convinced the next day when she (uncharacteristically!) bounced into their home and up on the couch with Connor. 🥹 Their pups are sweet little ladies and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again! Thank you! 🥰
