“This was my first time working with Amanda. She met at the house for a pre-trip meeting and was very engaged with meeting my cat and understanding the set up. Excellent job taking care of my old cat while I was abroad. She provided good communication and photos. I strongly recommend Amanda for cat sitting.”

“Reggi did great with our two labs! She stopped over during the day and let them out and fed them their dinner for us since our work schedule was so busy last week. Our dogs loved her! She was very professional and always texted me pictures and kept me up to date with what was going on. I really appreciated her help and look forward to her dog sitting for us over night in August.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Both me and my family are all pet people and I often watch my family and friends animals for them. I’m currently only working part time while in college and taking most of my classes online so I will have more than enough time to care for your pets. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to respect everyone and everything involved in my services and make sure that your pets time without you. It’s the least stressful it can be.

“Took great care of our dogs! Very kind and attentive to them. Came over to meet them and get to know them prior to sitting for us.”

About: My name is Erin, I live on a mini farm. I have goats, chickens, dogs, cats. I am experienced with large and small breeds. I enjoy working with Animals and have since I was a child. I’m taking Vet tech courses to get more experience with all kinds of animals. I just in general love to help where I’m needed. I am a stay at home mom to a special needs child. I can definitely work around different needed schedules. When I meet with you we can plan whatever to help out with needs of you and your pets. My animals are up to date on shots and I care for them like they are my kids. I make sure they have playtime and special activities for each season. I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I know it’s hard to trust people these days. But I definitely will do my best to earn your trust and your fur babies trust as well.

“Brooke was excellent to work with -- even with changes on our side. She was patient and left us feeling much better with our travel with her visits and pictures.”

About: I have been an avid animal lover since birth!! I have a wide range of experience with animal care-taking. I have babysat a farm, volunteered at shelters, and have had my own pets. I have had large German Shepherds who I have practiced training. I have managed troublesome groups and have had to del with ensuring dogs are separate for behavioral reasons. Whatever your needs, I promise I may have already done! I am able to drop-in early mornings, but will do most walking/care after 12pm some weekdays due to school. I volunteer at the Prairie land conservancy, so some random times I may be busy, but I promise for good reason!! I am available most weekends. Your pet’s safety is really important to me. I make sure they’re always supervised and comfortable. I follow instructions closely, including feeding times, walks, crate routines, and any medications.

“Estefanny is a great pet sitter. She was on time or let me know when there was a personal conflict right away. She kept Deb busy with walks and play time. I would use her again and recommend her to other pet owners.”

“Jennifer took such good care in my two cats as well as 20+ chickens and a turkey! She communicated well, was so attentive to their needs, kept their spaces clean and functioning, and was able to help me navigate some Smart System issues from afar! Highly recommend!”

“Kristen was very professional. She appears to love animals. She was a sitter for my dog Bella and it was the first time Bella ever had a Pet Sitter. When I got home Bella was happy and well cared for. I will sure use Kristen for future and I recommend her highly.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, cats and dogs. I have experience with all age ranges of pets. I enjoy taking care of mine and my family members pets! I often watch my parents 2 year old energetic boxer mix, as well as 3 cats, one who has heart failure. I also love spending time with my sisters 5 year old mini doxie. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes, cleaning litter boxes and providing basic medical needs. I look forward to meeting the furry important members of your family and providing the best care I can! I have an open availability for Monday-Friday from 6am-3pm. I’m available for longer walks if needed or short in and out trips. I take my parents dog Willie on walks around local parks, he’s a very energetic dog and likes to pull. So I take it one step at a time with him and give him ample time to soak in all the enrichment of the environment around us.

About: I’ve owned many animals of my own throughout my life and have many family and friends with animals that I enjoy taking care of when I get the chance. I am a middle school teacher with a set schedule. I am always up early and very active wether it’s around the house or walking the neighborhood. I have a 2 story house that is very pet friendly. I do not have a fenced yard, although it is very large. I am able to provide many outdoor breaks and walks on the leash.

About: I dog sit occasionally so I’m comfortable with new dogs! I love being outside so that means more outside time for your furry friends :) I am currently working two part time jobs so I could schedule anytime between those two. Mon-Tuesday after noon, Wed-Sunday mornings, afternoons, nights only Wednesdays. This is my current schedule and it can change but I am flexible! :) I currently have one dog of my own and we have a fenced yard. He’s crate trained and potty trained. I can also crate your dog if needed and if they’re trained. My dog is friendly and calm with other dogs. We go on daily walks and he gets his playtime with us!

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.
