“Beth did a great job caring for my 2 dogs and cat, as well as my friends dog who is large and very exuberant. She sent us great pictures frequently which made our day when we were away. We came home to the house looking great and well cared for. I would highly recommend Beth for any future fur-baby care!”




4. Michelle E.

“Michelle was the best house and dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She was incredibly attentive and thorough in every aspect including before her stay with our dogs, during and after! She visited us ahead of time to get to know the boys and make sure we had all the details covered. She kept in contact us while we were away and sent photos and kept very extensive notes that were very helpful to read when we returned from our vacation. She is incredibly knowledgeable about training and different personalities in dogs and I would recommend her to anyone!!!!!! I could tell our boys loved having her and were looking for her for a day or two after she was gone. She’s a great lady and I would recommend her with 10 stars!!!!! She even kept up with the shedding and the house was immaculate! A great lady!!!”


5. Ava K.

“Ava did an amazing job staying at our place and watching our three dogs while we were on vacation. One of our dogs had a variety of medicine that she needed to take, and Ava made sure she took everything, even when our Bella wasn't feeling the best and wanting to cooperate. She was great about sending pictures, and our house was spotless when we came back. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”

11. Kiara H.
About: I have had animals and cared for animals since I was young. On top of my personal animals, I have also dog and cat sat for family friends. I have also dealt with a diabetic cat and it’s shots. I am mostly just available on Fridays after 10:30 and on the weekends. I do sometimes have the availability for an afternoon (after 4) walk or drop in. I can care for your animals as you see fit in your home and follow your standards for your animals and home. If wanting some play time with another dog, I can also bring my own dog, who loves other dogs, for some play time.


12. Zahyra G.
“Zahyra has house sat for my dog and my cats on a number of occasions and they love her! My dog has anxiety and Zahyra has always been really patient and understanding with her. 10/10 would recommend.”


13. Lori E.

“Lori was absolutely amazing with our 3 dogs. She stayed at our home and ensured they were well cared for. She was patient and loving to our one anxious pup - who quickly warmed up to Lori. Can not say enough wonderful things! Thank you so much!!!”


14. Brynna M.

“Probably the best sitter we ever had on rover. I can’t say enough for what Brynna did- she was amazing with our pups and kept in touch all the time. We went away on a cruise and my husband forgot his birth certificate and Brynna was home with our fur babies and was able to find it while we were in Florida and take a picture for us and send it to me via text. I mean she is the best!!! She kept the house spotless, she followed all directions with meds, loved and snuggled all our pets and did everything amazing. She is worth every penny and more. She is so easy to talk too and she is such a sweetheart! Highly recommend”


15. Kaitlyn B.
“I had the pleasure of having Kaitlyn Brown as a student at Guilford High School in Rockford, Illinois. She was a motivated student in my U.S. History and American Government courses. She was naturally curious and a very hard worker. I do not own pets but if I ever decide to become a pet owner, Kaitlyn Brown would be the first person I would choose to care for them. Kaitlyn cares for her own dog and volunteers at Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter. She also cares for her nieces and nephews. I have seen her with them and she impressed me with her maturity and responsibility taking. Her hobbies include playing soccer, badminton, cooking and mowing the lawn. I recommend Kaitlyn Brown without reservation. Having her in my classes was a highlight of my 30 years in the classroom.”


16. Brittany & Branson S.


“We needed someone to care for our dog, Foxen, for a few hours on a Saturday night. Brittany came and left on time, followed all of our instructions, and even fed our cats. Will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Brittany!”


17. Dacota M.
About: I have much experience with animals. I have had a couple pets growing up including dogs, cats, and even a guinea pig! I love all animals! I am currently a full time college student and work full time as well! I am looking for part time work after 3pm Monday-Friday and open availability on Saturday and Sunday! When I had my dog a little over 5 years ago- I had a great set up for him. I had a kennel, leash for walks, and endless amounts of toys and treats! I loved bringing my dog on car rides which included getting a pup cup or some ice cream. I also enjoyed bringing my dog on walk and hikes!


18. Leticia G.
About: I'm currently in school for my RN. I have worked in Hospice for a few years now, and for awhile I provided doggy hospice for my last pup (Callie) that passed in January of 2022, she was with me almost 17 years. I now have a crazyyyy puppy. I live less than 5 minutes from my job so my pup gets a lot of my time. I do work around 2-4 days a week so I'm looking to fill my free time with more pups and I know my puppy is craving someone to play with. Each dog I care for is cared for in different ways, no care is the same. Some are very high energy and require time and patience. Others are more timid and don't need as much couching.


19. Kathleen C.
“Katie is absolutely great with dogs! She babysat small and large dogs so she has experience with both. Our dog loves her and is so excited when she comes over. She is responsible with them, takes them out for walks and loves cuddling with them :-) ”
