“Lee house sat with out diabetic cat for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. He did an excellent job taking care of our cat and communicated frequently throughout the weeks! He was also able to give her her insulin and feedings on a regular schedule with no concerns and left a beautiful drawing of her when we came back!”


About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!

“Hailey is the calm to my chaotic storm (4.5 year old boy, 11 year old cat, 8 week old dog). This day she came to help with my pup on my wildest morning yet. She was kind, calm, and non-judgmental. She made me instantly feel better and at ease when she showed up. Cannot say enough great things about Hailey!!”


“Our original sitter canceled the day before our trip, and we were so relieved that Brittany was available last minute. She arranged a meet and greet the same day we reached out and started the booking the very next day. She took amazing care of our two dogs and two cats while we were away for three days and sent regular updates. We’re so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”


“We were happy with the accommodations that was provided for us and our pup . It helped us enjoy our day knowing he was safe . Friendly , kind and awesome care was given and we are lucky to have found her”


“I highly recommend Josh to stay with your pet! He stayed with my dog Diesel over this past weekend at my house. When I returned home Diesel was very happy and my home was in perfect shape. While I was away Josh sent several pictures of them taking walks together and playing together. They had lots of fun and Josh really focused on Diesel. I will definitely book him again when I need to be out of town.”


“Gwen was absolutely wonderful with Chevy! She followed all instructions to a T, sent us tons of sweet updates and photos, and left our home spotless. Chevy was clearly happy and well cared for—we could tell he felt totally at ease. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and would welcome her back anytime!”


About: I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that. My weeks are based around pet care. I do it full-time and have a customizable schedule based around my various clients & appointments. I have special hours available at request. I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.

“Ariana has been my go to sitter! She is so good with my Lucy and she loves her. Very dependable! She also has helped me out with a few small projects around the house while I’m away. Highly recommend!”


“Logan was excellent - this was the first time we were leaving our two dogs at home during a long vacation. Logan has been extremely responsive and the dogs loved her! I highly recommend Logan -”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve worked at pet stores and currently work at a Doggy Daycare and Boarding facility (Love Unleashed, St. Louis) while at university. I want to make pets feel the least amount of stress as possible, while their humans are away. I want to give them Love, Security, and Fun. For this Summer, I’m available after 6pm Monday -Thursday. And anytime Friday- Sunday until August 20th when I head back to University. I will be completely available for Pet sitting in the Lake County area during the winter holidays. Each situation is different so the amount of time spent with a pet will be dictated by the pet parent. Whatever your fur baby needs is what I will give them. If I am house sitting, I will respect your space and follow the rules and standards that you set. I will ensure fences are latched and leashes are secured. Each pet will have their individual needs met.

About: I have had and taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and so many other exotic animals since I was very young. I also have experience working with a wide variety of pets at vet clinics as well as a pet resort both of which I walked, fed, administered medication, and watched several dogs in a daycare setting. I also worked with a wide range of exotic animals as my career after graduating college! During the school year I am a substitute teacher typically working M-F until about 4pm. This summer I will be working at Apple Holler as a tour guide with a slightly inconsistent schedule but the days I do work I will usually be finished around 3pm. That being said I am available to do drop ins and walks later in the afternoon after work. I have most weekends available as well. When caring for your pets I will always be cognizant of the surroundings. I respect the owners choices of the best way to manage their dog so I will use leashes, crates, etc. whenever it is needed or recommended.


“Carolyn is fantastic! We’ve used her twice to stay with our two dogs at our house and she does such a great job of taking care of them. Our pups have separation anxiety and leaving them has always resulted in trauma when we return, but having Carolyn here has made our returns so much easier and we are so thankful to know they are being loved while we are away from them.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was probably around ten years old. Making sure they are fed, played with, and petted are all ways to show them they are pampered and loved, and that’s something I strive to do! I work a part time job, but I can always do my best to make my schedule flexible. The only unchanging thing I have is going to the gym for about an hour, but I will always come right back! My service is completely up to you! If your furry friend needs to go in the kennel for a little bit, I can do that. If he or she needs to be walked for an hour every day, I can absolutely do that as well. Once again, my service ends wherever you need it to!

Kalyope M.
“Kalyope is one of the biggest animal lovers I have ever met. She has always had a love for animals, whether it be dogs, cats, horses, or even a guinea pig. Being roommates all 4 years of college, we always wanted to get a dog but never had the time or space to care for one. We eventually got 2 guinea pigs our junior year and they were our lives! About a year after we got the pigs, Kalyope adopted a bunny from the ARL whom she named Malibu. He is such a spoiled little bunny who always has space to hop around doing bunny things. Kalyope has experience caring for her family animals ranging from chickens to dogs, as well as big cats such as tigers and lions. I have full faith that Kalyope will be an excellent caregiver for your pet and give them all the love and attention that they desire.”


Paige E.

“Paige did a wonderful job watching over our dog and our home. We were able to have a great vacation knowing our dog was being spoiled and loved on.”

Our pups have separation anxiety and leaving them has always resulted in trauma when we return, but having Carolyn here has made our returns so much easier and we are so thankful to know they are being loved while we are away from them.”


Isabella C.
“Luka has a deeper love for animals than I've seen in most people, especially dogs. He is exceedingly responsible and wonderful at learning their behaviors and responding accordingly. He treats his own pets with the utmost care and I've repeatedly seen him sacrifice his own wants to ensure their comfort. There's no one I would trust more with the care of my pets.”


Ashley N.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! On time, friendly, and comfortable with the dogs from the start. Highly recommend using Ashley! You won’t be disappointed!”
