“Margaret was so helpful and good with our dogs. She was communicative and responsive, she took our dogs to the park multiple times and was a gracious house guest. We are very grateful for her help and will contact her again!”


“Kendra took great care of our home and pups while we were away. She sent us daily photos and videos. Would definitely recommend Kendra taking care of your pups! We would 100% use her again!”


“Kristi was so great with our 2 little guys. She went out of her way to come to our house for a meet-and-greet and then came back another time to go over procedures, feeding, etc. It’s very hard to leave your home and pups in the care of a stranger, but Kristi put us at ease right away and didn’t feel like a stranger at all. She provided lots of updates and we were able to enjoy attending our nephew’s wedding without having to worry at all!”


“Cori and Jamie are absolutely amazing! It was so nice to go on vacation knowing our fur babies were well taken care of. Communication was perfect and they even sent us picture updates :) Thanks again Cori and Jamie!!”


“She spent a lot of time cuddling and playing with my dogs. She was great with communicating and sending updates. My senior dog needs medicine, and my rescue can be needy at times and Cammie had no problem managing their needs.”


“Amoreena was great! My dog has a lot of energy and gets very excited, but she took him out hiking and had no trouble keeping him occupied. I appreciate that she sent regular updates and I came home to a happy dog. Would definitely book again!”


“If we could give Riley 10 stars we would. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND babysitting our cat for 10 days during the Christmas holiday and put our minds at ease with his efficiency and great communication! Our cat is also super sky to new people and warmed right up to Riley’s kind personality. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as their own, I highly recommend booking Riley for your next pet sit! ~ Many Thanks from Ashley A and John M”


“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”


About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.

“Karah did an incredible job with my animals and house.I cannot recommend her highly enough.My animals are rarely left overnight much less for 2 weeks, my dog is fragile and requires medication 2x a day.They were happy; secure and healthy when we returned.”


“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”


About: I have over 10 plus years caring for animals. I have experience with small or medium dogs and especially cats. Administering medications, walking, feeding, playtime and everything in between! Experience pet sitting for friends and family and experience caring for a movement impaired dog and diabetic cat. Im currently a Mechanic/Welder as a full time job Monday through Friday for a local company in Jamesville. Available anytime on weekends and limited availability on weekdays after 3:30 PM. I treat everyone’s pets and home as I would my own. Drug free, non smoker and very respectful. The safety of your property and pets is my top priority. Developing trusting relationships with clients and delivering the service you expect is my goal.

About: have extensive experience in pet care, having had many pets over the years. My journey includes rescuing, fostering, and rehoming animals, which has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of animal behavior and care needs. Throughout my experience, I've worked alongside trainers, learning valuable skills to help animals thrive. I pride myself on my patience, compassion, and unwavering love for animals, which I believe are essential qualities for providing the best care possible. My hands-on experience with a variety of pets has given me the ability to assess individual needs and provide the right support to ensure their health, happiness, and well-being. While I work full-time frok home Monday through Friday,my schedule is flexible and my love and commitment to animals are a central part of my daily routine. I make sure to devote my evenings and weekends to providing the care and attention that animals deserve. My special bond with animals allows me to connect with them on a deeper level, ensuring they receive the emotional and physical support they need. I understand how important pets are to their owners, and I treat each pet with the utmost care, creating a safe, loving environment where they can thrive. Whether it’s through walks, playtime, or simply being present, I appreciate the opportunity to spend my free time helping animals feel loved and secure. I have years of experience offering in-home pet care, which allows me to create a safe and comfortable environment for each pet in the comfort of their own home. As someone who lives downtown, I’m well-positioned to serve professionals who need reliable care for their pets while they’re away. Although I’m unable to care for animals in my own space, I pride myself on being a trusted, dependable option for those in need.

“Nia was really great with my senior pup! She was able to give him the extra attention that he needed in order to make him comfortable while we were away. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve cared for two puppies together. They have become best friends despite their different personalities. I’ve also taken care of a senior male dog who has slowed down greatly. I work part time and I also attend school for marriage and family therapy but my classes are all at night and online. I just want to incorporate more dogs into my daily routine since my current living quarters won’t allow dogs in the home. I miss being around furry friends. I will follow the instructions given by the client. Make sure you properly greet the animal so I don’t spook them, and make sure to give treats if permitted by the client.

About: I have helped take care of my family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I have also pet sit for my neighbors growing up for both dogs and cats! I am well versed in many different kinds of pet care and will make sure your furry friend is well cared for! I am currently a full time medical student, so I am able to help look after your pets early in the morning before I go to the hospital or in the evening. Looking forward to helping take care of your furry friends as often as I can! I currently live in an apartment with my roommate and her cat. We ensure that there are no dangerous plants for the cat to get into and make sure that the house is neat and tidy.

About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience that goes beyond the basics. I’ve volunteered at a local dog rescue, fostered dogs in need of extra love and care, and have looked after beloved pets for friends and family for years. What truly sets me apart is the level of compassion and experience I bring. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a laidback senior dog, or even a small pet like a hamster or guinea pig, I take the time to understand and care for each animal as if they were my own. You can trust that your pet — no matter how big, small, or quirky — will be safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I have a guinea pig named Chewy, and making sure he’s happy, clean, and well-fed is just part of my day. I also help care for our family dog, Pierre, whether it’s taking him for a walk after work or helping my parents with him during the day. Because of this, I’m already in the rhythm of daily pet care—from feeding schedules and exercise to playtime and attention. I don’t just make time for animals—I naturally build my day around them. When caring for pets in your home, I always treat the space with the same respect I would want in my own. I follow your rules closely, pay attention to routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m a rule-reader, not a rule-bender—whether it’s specific feeding instructions, leash preferences, crate routines, or off-limit areas, I make sure to stick to your expectations. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I’m there to keep it that way.n
