Thank you for the wonderful care you provided to our doggie! We appreciate the thoughtfulness of the photos you took of him and can tell he enjoyed his time with you. It was such a relief to find someone so kind and responsible to take care of our fur baby. We hope you will be able to help us in the future.

Michelle did a great job caring for our family member Lily. She was great about communication and I could tell she was really trying to make sure Lily ate while we were gone and even gave her a little preventative medicine when she noticed Lily eating grass. Lily seem to do much better at home than in a kennel being boarded so I’m sure we will definitely use Michelle again for future trips. I would highly recommend from Michelle.

Danielle was amazing - she took the time to get to know our dogs' personalities, and they loved spending time with her. The communication was wonderful and she sent very thorough reports, and the cutest pictures. We'll absolutely use Danielle again!

About: I have taken care of friends and family and fellow neighbors pets ranging from yorkies to bull mastiffs.

I am very flexible with pet sitting needs. I have no rigid schedule which makes it easier for me to take of your pets. I always make sure to keep a eye on your loved pets and make sure all their needs are met. Guarantee you’ll come home to a happy dog!

About: I've been helping care for animals for as long as I can remember! I have helped my family pet sit, volunteered at the animal shelter, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I am currently working as a freelance artist! Between gigs I have lots of flexible time to come take care of your pets. I am available for drop-ins/walks most days of the week, and I usually have some weekend availability! It's a priority of mine to establish trust with your animals! I am very keen on body language and other behavioral cues that allow me to meet your pets where they're at. If there are special instructions for an animal, I make sure to follow them to the letter.

Robin did a fantastic job checking-in and walking my dogs while I was out of town. She sent pictures of the pets while she was at the house and gave a summary of her visit once she left. I will definitely use her services in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable person to look after their pets.

About: I’ve always had dogs and other pets growing up so I obviously love them!! But I have also taken care of my sisters bad puppy multiple times so I know how to deal with dogs with sass 😂 I am a current student athlete at Roosevelt university downtown Chicago, but I am free during most weekdays after 2pm. In the summer I will be available basically whenever!

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of cats, dogs, and exotic pets my whole life. I’ve been responsible for bathing, walking, giving them food and water, scooping litter boxes, clipping nails, and everything else your pet will need since I could walk. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family before, overnight or just for a check-in. I love spending time with my animals and I hope I get to meet yours too! I’m currently a student at USC, go Gamecocks! On MWF, my classes end at 2 so I am free anytime after that. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little more spread out, however I should be able to stop in almost whenever to watch your pet! I am totally free on the weekends and can do anything but boarding your pet. Back at my house, I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings if I am outside, watching for other dogs, cars, other animals, or people. I will carry this same caution when taking care of your animals, whether in the home or outside of it!

About: I have owned 3 huskies before because of me being a husky owner. I have dealt with stubbornness and big personalities. I loved their personality! I prefer to do it on weekends because my work schedule is very unpredictable but I have no problem going after work if you need me to! I always pay attention to a dog’s body language. It gives me an idea what they are feeling, how their health is, and overall if their needs are met like food, water, or had enough miles to walk.

About: I’ve had my own dog since 2nd grade, which gave me years of hands-on experience with training, walking, feeding, and bathing. Caring for my own pet taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different dog personalities and needs. In addition to my own dog, I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ pets and done in-home sitting. I’m comfortable following specific routines, giving lots of attention and exercise, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already prioritize being active and consistent. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, and giving pets attention, so adding more pets into my routine feels natural. On a weekly basis, I make sure I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to, not just a task. I always adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as normal as possible—following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free in their own space. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while maintaining a calm, clean environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, supervised, and comfortable space where they can relax and feel at ease. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and potty breaks, and make sure pets get lots of exercise and one-on-one attention. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet feels loved and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: Dedicated pet caregiver since childhood, growing up on a farm which provided me with extensive, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I am highly proficient and deeply comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, from active puppies to senior dogs needing special attention. Friends and family have trusted me completely with their pets for years. My approach is rooted in reliability, positive reinforcement, and specialized attention, ensuring every dog in my care receives a safe, happy, and structured stay tailored to their individual needs. I am currently working part-time, which allows me to offer consistent and focused attention to my pet guests.I am generally available for walks and drop-ins after 2:00 PM. I have plenty of dedicated time to play, exercise, and cuddle with your pups! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure reliable, timely care that adheres perfectly to your pet's routine. I care for every pet in my home with the same dedication and high standards I use for my own animals. I am highly experienced in recognizing pet distress, administering medications, and following complex routines, skills honed both on the farm and in my own home. I ensure every stay is safe, structured, and stress-free, treating your pet as a valued member of my temporary family.

About: I love all kinds of dogs. I’ve had multiple dogs from little to small since I was little and know the responsibility of caring for your furry fam! My friends and family always call me first if they need someone to take care of their pet because they know I’m the girl for the job! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time throughout the week. Mondays, Tuesday’s and Wednesdays are my free days. Mostly any time of the day. I’m very energetic and would love to play/ walk your dog! I believe I’m very good at knowing what a dog needs and wants. At home my pets are loved and very well taken care of. Looking forward to do the same for yours!

Julia was amazing! I needed someone sort of last minute and she was out of town but made sure to make it back and to our house for a meet and greet. She came and took care of everything, sent pics and an update which eased any worry about being gone long. Definitely will use Julia in the future!

Annie was great with our two cats. Both can be shy to new people, but they befriended her very quickly! We received pics of them each time she came to feed them and she even scooped the litter boxes. We are very pleased with Annie’s cat sitting.
