“I can't say enough wonderful things about Brittany. She has been my go to person for my two boys for over a year now and they absolutely LOVE her. I never have to worry about them when I travel as I know they are in great hands and that peace of mind is simply priceless.”
“I read reviews for Haley before we booked our visit and they all seemed to be sparkling, as were her Visits with our two cats. She represents your company very well and is well-spoken, professional and w we’ll be very happy to ask for Haley in the future. 👍💕”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby. Over the last year we have bonded very tightly. And this is the first time that I've ever left him for a length more than a day or two. So I really appreciate all the love and affection that you gave him. Linda Hirsekorn”
“Absolutely amazing! Hope went above and beyond in taking care of my cat babies. She spent time getting to know them and sent me tons of pictures. My cats and happy! This was my first time hiring her but certainly won’t be the last. Thank you, Hope!”
“CHRIS did a great job even when one of the dogs decided that he wanted to run the house and not go on walks. Quickly, switch gears and made sure that all the animals were safe and still tried to make friends with Luke. And in the end, CHRIS did make friends with him so I believe we’ve got the start of a beautiful relationship. Thanks Chris and happy new year”
“Amazing couple. Even though my fur babies hid, they took great effort to find and photo them. They kept their food and water bowls full. The two are great sitters.”
“Our babies love Gage! Especially Finnegan. Gage took wonderful care of them while we were gone. He was attentive and friendly, making them comfortable around him. He was very respectful of our home. Sent plenty of pics for momma! We highly recommend him and will be using him again.”
About: I've lived with cats for most of my life, and I have experience sitting for both senior dogs and puppies! I'm comfortable around dogs of any size and can handle most medications and messes, provided some instruction. In case it's relevant, I also have some limited experience with a variety of other animals, ranging from birds and mice to horses and rabbits! I'm currently waiting for the growing season to start up again (I'm an environmental technician), so I have plenty of free time during the week to spend helping out with pet care. I have a rather skittish kitty of my own, so I can't board any animals, but I'm happy to come visit others. So long as the information is provided, I'm happy to help feed, play with, clean up after, and help give medications to your furry family members as needed.
“Linnea was absolutely outstanding! She really made my wife and I very relaxed knowing that she was taking great care of our cats. Linnea always sent great daily information and pictures of our furry boys. I would highly recommend Linnea! We will definitely use her services should the need arise again in the future.”
“Sam was great! Even my shy cat warmed up to her and came out to visit and my bolder cat climbed her by the end. If I wasn’t moving out of the area I would absolutely use her again the next time I needed a sitter. I’m thrilled.”
“Brookelynn was super nice! She took on a drop in visit last minute and made sure my fur baby was well taken care of! She was also very responsive and kept me in the loop every step of the way!”
“Julie was a life saver when we had conflicting schedules and needed someone to help care for the pups. She was on time, sent lots of pictures, had great communication, and was so sweet to my babies. Will definitely recommend and hopefully can have her help again in the future!”
“Kimberly was excellent with my diabetic senior kitty. She followed all directions and is very easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone with medically fragile animals.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Guadalupe was reliable, caring, and treated our pups with love!!! We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town camping. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved all the attention. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter! We will definitely be using Guadalupe again!! We've already recommended her to neighbors!!!”
“Did an awesome job with all 4 of my pets! Especially with such cold weather during the time she was dropping in on them. Took lots of photos and communicated when necessary! Would book again and highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my whole life I have always had a dog and I love them as if they are my own children! Your dogs will be in great hands I am currently back home from San Diego and am planning on staying in Illinois for a while and I want to make a living helping animals. I don’t have a full time job at the moment so I have all the time in the world. I have a car that I can get anywhere with ease at anytime. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and different attitudes. I have owned dogs my whole life so I am very experienced.

Hope takes such great care of our kitties. She interacts well with them on every visit and they love playing with her with all their toys! It’s obvious they are very comfortable with her and look forward to seeing her! We can be at peace knowing they are well care tor with Hope!
Stella is an instant friend with a very caring heart. Took care of my cat like he was her own family member. Stella went above and beyond by playing with him, letting him in the back yard, setting up fun snacks for him, and even bringing a delivery in the house. I highly recommend Stella to give pets the care they need!
Amy did a phenomenal job. She did drops in for my 2 medically fragile cats for 11 days and was able to administer their injectable medicine. She was enthusiastic and attentively executed their comprehensive care tasks. She also gracefully handled a situation where my cat had to be taken to his vet which is quite far from my house and during rush hour. She also left my home very tidy. Great communication and phenomenal care- my cats loved her which is a noteworthy stamp of approval. I would recommend Amy to anyone who has pets with special needs.
