“Definitely want to book Anna again! My little orange old lady cat was very well taken care of. Traveling when you have a senior animal is stressful, but Anna was thorough and Marmalade obviously liked her!”

“She was great with the dogs and did the job she was supposed to do. She also brought in a package and was clear with communication and attentive to our concerns. Also took on the job same day with an hour notice when another person canceled, would def recommend and use again .”

About: I have a big love for dogs and inspired to work with multiple different breeds to be able to learn more about all of them. I currently work full time and get out of work at 2pm everyday, only go to the gym after work for about an hour to an hour and a half and have the rest of the day free. Weekends may vary, but typically don’t have a lot going on. Have a lot of space within the house for the dogs to play around in. Also live with my boyfriend who has a big love for dogs and has a family dog of his own.

“Debbie took excellent care of our senior diabetic cat while we were away for the long weekend. She kept our house clean and had great communication. We will absolutely use her again for future trips!”

“Rick provided exceptional care for our two energetic German Shepherds during several consecutive overnight stays. His calm and confident demeanor was a perfect match for our pups, creating a sense of comfort and trust from the very beginning. It’s clear that Rick has a natural connection with animals—our dogs were so happy and relaxed in his care that we’ve affectionately started calling his visits “Camp Rick.” Having someone as responsible, compassionate, and attentive as Rick watching over our beloved pets gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re incredibly grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier pet care.”

“Adara did a fabulous job taking care of Mr. Toby today during her two drop-in visits today! Toby clearly loves her by the photos she shared! I appreciate Adara's clear communication, and I feel comfortable/confident having her in my home while I'm away. Thanks, Adara!”

“This is the second time we had Melanie take care of our four cats - she gets a 16 (out of 16) paws up from the 4 cats! We came home to very clean food bowls and litter boxes. Food was also left organized! She had great communication. She even accommodated a special diet and feeding cats in two locations. Will use again! Top ratings for Melanie!”

About: I have taken care of family and friends pets (cats and dogs) for many years and have regular clients for pet sitting and dog walking. I have had my own pets as well for most of my life. I have fostered many cats through a local animal shelter and have volunteered with a local organization to walk dogs. I have completed a Pet Sitter and Dog Walking Certification. I will treat your pets as I do my own and will provide loving care and I will ensure that your requests are met for your pet. I am organized and trustworthy and am available for pet sitting in my home, drop in visits and some house sitting. I am available on weekends and weekdays depending on the request. I work from home so if your pet is staying in my home I am able to let them out as needed (for dogs) and provide lots of loving attention throughout the day. Depending on the service-Boarding/pet sitting is provided in my home. We have a big yard and trails in the woods so dog walking is easy and enjoyable. Drop in visits can be set up at your home for cats or dogs as well.

About: Dogs have been a part of my family for all of the my life. Every family get together wouldn't be complete without a pack of at least 4 dogs playing and generally knocking things over. I have had two dogs of my own now and I keep them happy and healthy with tons of love and exercise. My recently pased husky lived to be almost 16, and was spunjy to the end. My current husky/golden mix is such a prince and I love hiking and spending time outside with him. I spend a lot of my time with my dog giving him structure and love and I understand that special relationship humans have with their hounds. I also understand that not every dog is a happy-go-lucky, tail wagging, "give me pets" sort of dog (my dog certainly isn't with strangers) and that all animals are unique and have their own personalities. I work on understanding and respecting what their individual needs are and put them before my own. I I love working with animals of all kinds, wild, domestic, and agricultural. I respect their boundaries and individuality and gladly invite all kinds of critters into my life! I am a very serious worker and take confidence and whatever I do and try to remain reflective and open to feedback I work full time, but I do have some flexibility to work from home/leave the office when needed. I can also bring a dog into the office with me. I have a fenced in yard and am happy to walk outside rain or shine or snow. Happy to walk in the morning or evening.

“Marissa came over for a drop-in visit with our 15 year old dog while we were out of town for several hours. He has anxiety issues and Marissa stayed beyond her scheduled time to make sure he was okay before she left. When we got home, he was calm and happy to see us. We have complete trust in Marissa and total peace of mind when she looks after our boy.”

About: I have watched over family members dogs before and have had to give dogs IV drips and injections so I understand the importance of having someone who will properly tend to your pets needs with compassion. I am a full time student at Loyola University and so I have a pretty flexible schedule to tend to cater to someone’s scheduling needs. I am currently living in the Universities dorms so I cannot have pets, but I have always lived in a home with one or more pets and love to share a space with them.

“Kathleen is hands down the best dog sitter! We felt so at ease leaving him with her for the day. Sampson had the BEST day and was the happiest pup when we came home. Thank you for taking such good care of him. :)”

About: I’ve had pets since childhood and know how to take care of them well, from dogs to guinea pigs I have had to care for multiple different types of animals and will always care for them as my own. I have pet sat both during the day and overnight for friends, family, and people outside of my everyday life, each time caring for the animal with the utmost care. I currently work a part time job at a nursing home. I am available to watch pets overnight during both weekdays and weekends. I am able to let pets out or walk them depending on my work schedule and will have the chance to walk them and let them out between shifts if needed. I will make sure to listen and pay close attention to what rules and behaviors follow to keep the pet safe in the home, and I will make sure not to let the animals out of my sight when letting them outside if needed.

About: Animals have been a part of my life starting from a very young age. As a small child my family fostered dogs and I was taught basic animal husbandry skills from an early age. Growing up we always also had 3 dogs of our own that I was dedicated to caring for.

I am proficient and confident in administration of medications, administration of subcutaneous injections, ear cleanings, pedicures, anal gland expressions and more. I also have experience caring for small animals such as rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. Lastly, I have my own flock of chickens and would be happy to care for yours if needed as well!

My schedule varies weekly so I would be happy to discuss your needs to see if we would be a good fit for each other! Unfortunately at this time I cannot house any clients pets in my own home, but I am happy to care for your pet in the safety and comfort of your home while you are away. I have various petsitting and housesitting references if needed. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my number one priority.
