“We scheduled Sam for a 10-day house and pet sitting for our 2 dogs. This was a longer than normal vacation for us which made us a bit anxious about leaving our dogs for so long. Sam eased our minds with his professional and compassionate care. He kept the dogs on their regular schedules and activities, and was very conscientious taking care of the house too. His communication and pictures helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation! We returned to calm and happy dogs, and the house was clean and tidy and it seemed like we hadn't been gone.”
“This was my first time using the app and was a bit skeptical as trusting someone with my pup is a huge relief when going on vacation. Charlotte went above and beyond my expectations with communication, care, and making sure my questions were answered with live updates while I was gone. She will continue to have my business and I can now travel with ease knowing that my dog is in good hands. (If you are on the fence whether to board or book house sitting go with house sitting and chose this app with the quality of care and your dog will thank you) Thank you charlotte for your services!”

“Mary was fantastic with our fur babies! She always responded quickly when we were checking in and we got a lot of great pictures. One of our cats is diabetic, so it was great to have someone be able to give insulin shots to her at our house rather than having to board her. We would highly recommend Mary and will definitely have her watch our animals in the future!”
“My house looks great annd anll in good order and my pets are happy. Lindsey did a fantastic job. I'm so happy she agreed to take care of my three guys: Nicky, Marmalade & Oliver while I was away for a week.”
“Akyra was so professional and very quick with checking in! She provided photos of Khloe throughout the day. I had no worries about Khloe being in good hands while I was away! She even stoped by the day before to meet Khloe to ensure there were no issues day of.”
“Katie was a great sitter. She arrived on time, was very attentive and caring with the dogs. They seemed happy and content with her which takes a lot off of my mind. She had to leave before we got home, however she washed, dried and folded her bedding which is definitely going above and beyond. I'd highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals almost all of my life. I have never done it professionally/for pay but, it is something I enjoy and take pleasure in doing. Your pet will be in safe and responsible hands while I stay. I’m currently urging in a two weeks notice at rib crib and looking for another part time job. My availability is flexible for your convenience. I have a fenced in yard but, we are waiting to get it fixed from dogs digging holes. I have 4 dogs who are friendly but still need play training.
About: Im a parttime dog groomer, petco certified dog trainer with 4 doggos of my own! Boarding is held at the grooming facility i work at in Lyons. My weekends tend to be more grooming oriented but I work at a small groom shop that offers boarding and has the space for it *NOTICE* BOARDING AT A GROOMING FACILITY REQUIRES RECORDS OF COMPLETE VACCINATIONS PROVIDED BY YOUR VET. I can take down that information at the meet and greet
About: I've grown up taking care of and loving animals, and have always wanted to go into a profession where I can do that forever. It's always made me happy to care for dogs and cats, and I'm so excited to be able to help other dog and cat parents take care of their babies!! I've dog sat both newborn puppies and raptor puppies and one senior dog so I can handle anything they throw at me for sure!! I am currently unemployed because I want to find the right job for me, so I have all the time in the world to tune into your pets wants and needs!! Maybe I can turn this into my full time job! Currently I do not offer my home to take care of your babies, but that is only because I have 4 dogs and two cats already and I feel that would overwhelm any dog or cat that stayed here! Although I have family I live with and a fenced in yard so they roam as much as they can of course and are very happy babies. My family takes care of them while I care for your pets at your home so it's a win win situation!

He has always been my first choice when I need a pet sitter, and he is the only person my very antisocial cat has ever loved, besides myself! There is no one I could recommend more to make sure your pet is well loved and taken care of!”
