Mark was awesome. Miss Molly got lots of walks & apparently behaved herself. My house was spotless when I got home. Mark sent lots of pictures. I am confident Mark is trustworthy and loves animals. Sure hope he is available when I need to travel!

We had Kya over our house to watch our cat, Juniper, for 5 days and she did an amazing job and was with her 24/7 which I appreciated. Our Juniper is very shy, but thanks to Kya’s kindness and patience, she warmed up. As promised, she sent daily updates and photos and even took the trash out for us while we were gone. Kya even went above and beyond to ensure the house was immaculate and to wash the bed sheets for the guest room she stayed in, which was so kind of her! If you’re looking for a caring sitter, don’t hesitate to reach out to her. She’s definitely a gem!

About: I have had multiple pets over the years. I have watched my neighbors' dogs and have supervised friends and familys' pets when they were working and/or on vacation. On summer break, there are only a few days this summer I will not be free. Mornings and afternoons are great, but I am very flexible. I don't currently have a pet, my family and I just recently moved to Lake Geneva, once we get more settled in that may change.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love.

Olivia was a great overnight caregiver to Einstein while we were out of town for a weekend. She communicated well via text and provided daily photos. She was very respectful of the instructions that were provided and asked a couple of questions to validate. Einstein said he’d like her to stay over again soon, which I have already let her know potential dates.

Chris was great! I highly recommend her to watch your pets. She came over twice before we actually left, first for a meet & greet, and then as the date got closer she came by again to go over routines/directions. I really appreciated that second visit, closer to our vacation, to put my mind at ease. Chris was great with my dogs, and one of them has a lot of energy and some interesting quirks, but all went very well. I received daily communication and pictures. She followed the routines very well and reached out with any questions. She left the house was tidy, as well. I will be using Chris again and HIGHLY recommend her services.

About: As a middle schooler, I worked on a farm property as a pet groomer. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and a specialization with dogs that are disabled and have behavioral issues. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and making sure your fur baby gets the love they deserve! I am currently working part time at an eye-care office! I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend it with your fur baby! I am flexible and happy to accommodate to whatever you and your pet’s needs may be. I am respectful of the spaces I am in, and I understand that life can get busy sometimes. I never judge a messy home, and promise that it won’t be an issue. I am just happy to help!

About: I’ve taking care of animals, specifically dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Whether that’s taking them for walks, feeding them, taking them to the groomer or vet or just spending time with them. I’ve dealt with animals with anxiety as well as animals that don’t get along with others. I have also pet sat for multiple friends and family’s and always treated their pets like my own. I’m currently unemployed so I will have more than enough time to care for your pets. Whether that is just letting your dog out or pet sitting for a few days, I’m there. I have two dogs of my own who are spoiled and loved beyond words. They are walked regularly and fed fresh food. They get more than enough cuddles and they are great protectors. I will be sure to spoil your fur babies too.

I cannot say enough great things about Jack… His professionalism is top-notch, and his care for my two dogs could not have been better. He kept them on their routine with feeding and medicine, he was great, giving them daily exercise and care, and he just literally checks every box perfectly, and I felt lucky to have him as did my dogs
