“Outstanding Dog Sitter! We can’t say enough wonderful things about Lillie. She took care of our four dogs for an entire week -each with their own quirks and handled it all with incredible patience and professionalism.She kept us updated with amazing photos and thoughtful messages every day, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again.”


“The doggos and I are very happy to have met Sara. She’s communicative and reliable, sent photos every day and treated them well while keeping to their routine. This was a short work trip but I’d be perfectly comfortable asking Sara to care for them at my place if I had to be away longer.”

“Alisa is a true animal lover and my gang adored her. She is a great communicator, always letting you know how everything is going, when she is arriving, when she is leaving. She sends lots of photos and videos and was a joy to work with. I felt like my guys were in great hands and I would absolutely work with her again!”

“I am so so grateful we found Kamber (and her amazing daughter) to help us with our little dog Sonny. He was definitely in a reactive / nervous mood when they arrived and Kamber’s patience and calm presence immediately put him at ease. She’s a total pro with dogs, knew exactly how to handle Sonny’s tricky temperament, and I would use her a million times if we lived in the area. I received pictures/updates throughout their stay and Kamber even offered to arrive half an hour early to make sure we all felt comfortable. I’ve used a lot of sitters and Kamber is one of the best I’ve ever encountered. Thank you so much, Kamber and Aneesah.”

“Vanessa was by far the best sitter we’ve had in nearly ten years. She went above and beyond. She took pebbles on hikes and swims and dog parks, kept her super clean and managed her food and meds very well. We returned in over a week to find pebbles thriving. We would call on Vanessa in a heart beat going forward whenever we need someone to care for our pup.”

“Bryson is wonderful!!! We know our girl is well cared for when we are away and Izzy loves how Bryson spoils her with tons of attention. He goes above and beyond to care for our home as well. Can't recommend Bryson enough!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. What I Offer 🐾 A 100% open and flexible schedule—your pets will always get the time, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. 🐾 Patience, playfulness, and genuine compassion for every pet I meet. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, playtime, or extra TLC, I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, available any day and time. Since I mostly work from home, I can easily accommodate bookings, cancellations, last-minute changes, and special requests. The only exception is occasional weekend evenings after 5 PM, when I work at The Colony in Woodstock. Other than that, I’m always here for you and your pets! I live in a spacious three-bedroom, 2 story home with a large open yard, perfect for pets to play and explore. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to stretch, run, and enjoy the outdoors while getting all the exercise and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy.
“She is the absolute best! I would not use anyone else! She treats our pets like our own; accommodates our every request and is as trustworthy as they come! Don't hesitate to have her care for your grumpy old dog, energetic larger dog or your cats. She handles it all with ease. I've already booked her for our next trip.”

“Angela is great. The animals love her. She can handle giving medicine and all the different issues of the aging pets in my household. She stayed overnight with the dogs and sent lots of pictures, keeping me completely up to date. The house was cleaner than I left it. I can't recommend Angela enough.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to pet sitting, I currently work part-time at both a kennel and a veterinary office as a vet tech, which has given me hands-on experience with animal behavior, safe handling, medication administration, senior pet care, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, shy pets, senior animals, and pets with special routines or medical needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, so I always try to provide calm, attentive, and personalized care. I also make communication a priority and love sending updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time work at a kennel and veterinary office. Because caring for animals is already a major part of my daily life, I’m very comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and check-ins consistently and reliably. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. My experience working in both a kennel and veterinary setting has taught me how to safely handle pets, recognize signs of illness or stress, and adapt to different temperaments and needs. I carefully follow all care instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel secure and comfortable. In clients’ homes, I work to maintain a calm, clean, and familiar environment while giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in caring and capable hands while you’re away.
About: I have been house sitting since I was 14 years old. From homes with 2 large puppies to homes with 4 dogs and 7 cats ranging in ages. I love animals and spend a lot of time working with animals with my sister who is Veterinarian. I am a full time nursing student with a full time job. I am completely available for your pet sitting needs from Friday through Monday. Your pets will have my complete attention when in my care. Not only will I tend to their needs, I will play with them, and show them love.
“Patricia was amazing. Our newly adopted doghas separation anxiety and continued to give her a run for her money the whole first part of the second day. She was patient with Lucy and in the end we were so happy to be able to complete our vacation without worries. We will definitely have her back”
