“Ellen did a great job taking care of our 3 cats - kept consistent schedule, sent lots of pictures, and managed to get our more introverted cat to play. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Deana was an absolute gem! We had so many particular requests that she accommodated with our travel plans. Our hedgehog has specific needs that she meticulously provided for. Our cat was cared for in such a considerate way with the weather and his outdoor activity taken into account for his safety. She even trained him to play fetch! Couldn’t be happier!”

“Hanna is amazing! This is the second time she’s watched our cat and we had some curveballs this time with my cat getting sick. Hanna rolled with the punches and monitored our cat more than normal and even arranged her schedule to take her to the vet. She is super reliable and communicative and our cat loves her! Would absolutely recommend and will be booking her for any future trips!”


“Daphne is a life saver! Both times we’ve booked with her we’re somewhat last minute emergencies and Daphne treated the time with such care and professionalism. Her attention to detail, adaptability and true enjoyment of what she does will keep us coming back!”

“Elizabeth was prompt with her visits and reports. She made me feel secure about being away from Tula. Everything was in order when we returned. I would trust her to check on her again if needed.”

“Lynda is very personable and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior, and brings a real sensitivity to each dog she works with. My sometimes nervous dog Clover was immediately comfortable with her. I’m grateful to have someone so skilled and thoughtful care for my dog when I can’t be there!”

“Eliza is the best sitter I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She offered a Meet & Greet prior to my trip to make sure everyone was comfortable, and was a thorough communicator throughout the booking. My dog stepped on a stinging caterpillar and she picked her up and carried her! She also made an impromptu run to the vet for us and was very diligent with updates and contacting everyone involved. My dog seems genuinely happy and safe with her which means the most to me.”

“Alaina has taken care of our elderly cat multiple times now. She has excellent communication before and during the sit. She follows all the instructions. Most importantly our cat is comfortable enough with her to get brushed. He never has mats, which has been a problem with past sitters. I’m so grateful for Alaina!”


“Robin was excellent and our cats clearly loved her! She was professional, easy to work with, and sent us some really great/funny pictures while we were gone. We will definitely be repeat clients in the future!”

“We highly recommend Caitlin. She took care of our cat Dexter for 4 days over Thanksgiving. She provided detailed reports, adorable photos, and videos. Although we always worry about our little guy, Caitlin put us at ease. When we got back, Dexter seemed so happy and well-cared for. A true gem of a sitter.”

“Jamie completely changed my mind about using this app, and so grateful that we connected! She took amazing care of my cat while I was away, and she completely eased all the fears I had about leaving him. Her updates were great, she always took photos, and most importantly, I think my boy really enjoyed her visits! 10/10 would recommend and I’ll def be one of her repeat customers!”

“Simon was a phenomenal caretaker for my guy Cornelius. Checked in and out with every visit, communicated amazingly throughout the entire time. He definitely has a knack for taking great doggo pics. Was also able to accommodate a last minute booking and extension of service due to travel delays. Highly recommend booking with him if you want someone caring about your dogs much as you do while you’re not there!”

“Erica is fantastic ! You can tell Erica has a real love for animals , taking time to give love and cuddles. I loved the pictures. Erica went above and beyond our expectations. Perfect pet sitter .”

“Sarah was great with my 5 1/2 month old kitten. She was able to play and cuddle with him during his first time apart from his family and he was in great spirits when we came home!”

About: I have been around pets and taking care of them my entire life. I have experience walking dogs, pet sitting, and dealing with medication schedules. I can adapt to different schedules and specific needs. I am a recent graduate of Loyola University. I work as a server, however there are plenty of gaps in my schedule for dog walking. My hours and length of walks are flexible. I am prepared to adapt to any pets environment and needs for care. I can stick to certain walking routes or routines. I am patient and understanding with pets and their needs.
“Stacey and Patrick were amazing with our two dogs. They were incredibly professional and followed our guidelines to the letter. They were so kind and loving to our dogs. They payed close attention to the details of each dog's very specific needs. I was able to be completely comfortable that my dogs were cared for and loved. Highly, highly recommend them.”
About: Although I own 2 cats now, I grew up with dogs (large and small) and look forward to any opportunity to walk/run/play with any dogs who may need some outside time or owners that need some quiet time. I work part time and have plenty of morning or evening hours to watch or walk any dogs that need quiet company, play time, or to let off some energy. I have 2 elderly, cats at home, but am willing to come to your home or work to watch your animals. Would love for them to feel safe in their own environment.

Victoria was so great with our two cats! They warmed to her quickly, she gave helpful updates, and also generously helped bring in deliveries that came while we were away. It was refreshing to not worry about them, knowing they were in good hands, while we were away/ Thanks, Victoria!

Alyssa has been a great cat sitter for us. Communicates frequently and quickly, sends reassuring updates with pics & videos, and provides good care and attention to our cat. We trust her 100% and I'm sad to be moving out of state and losing such a good sitter.

Samantha is fantastic at communicating regarding her schedule and not taking on more than she’s able. She is a stable, fun loving caretaker and follows all instructions. She took wonderful care of my cat and sent sweet photos documenting her time with him. It helped me to enjoy my travels, knowing she was looking after my beloved pet.

Recently booked Carlie for drop-in visits for our cat during our 5-day vacation. I was worried about leaving her with a rather long to-do list, but she handled it with ease. I also enjoyed the goofy pics she took of my girl and the report card she provided after every visit. She far exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again, Carlie! 😸

Sarah is a godsend. My cat may love her more than me 😂 Seriously, if Sarah isn't available then I just don't travel. I don't trust my pet and home with anyone else. She goes above and beyond, and is so dependable and good with communication. The peace of mind she provides is worth 10x what she charges.

Sydney did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She kept us updated, and went above and beyond on taking care of our cats and making sure everything went smoothly. 100% recommend Sydney, she’ll treat your pets like they’re her own!
