“Ash was a GREAT house and pup took care of Whitney for 10 days while we were away with tons of walks, meals and treats, cuddles and rubs and overnight stays, long walks and visits with her best dog friend, and even handled a contractor visit and an appliance installation! Both our home and our pup were in great shape when we got back- would recommend Ash for six stars if i could.”
“EJ did a great job watching our dogs, Holly and Floki. She communicated with us around the dogs day, sent pictures, and kept us updated about the house. We really appreciate working with EJ and would definitely have her watch the dogs again.”
“Ace is great! They showed up on time. Provided pics all night. our puppy was very well cared for. Will definitely use Ace again. Thank you Ace!”
“Erin did a great job taking care of our dog and house. Our dog was healthy and happy when we returned home and our house was exactly as we had left it. We hope Erin is available the next time we travel.”
“Robb watched our two pups while we were away for a few days. They tend to be very timid with new people and it can be frustrating trying to get them to relax/listen to someone other than myself or my fiance. With that said, Robb was very patient with the both of them and really took his time to slowly gain their trust. By the end of the stay, they both were very comfortable. Robb was responsive and responsible. He listened to our concerns and was able to ease our anxieties being away. Overall we are very happy and will definitely use his services again!”
“Matt and Ziggy had a great time together while I was out of town for the weekend. Matt was also a great housesitter; he left my place spotless.”
“Alexis fit in with all of our 4 leggeds and fish while we were on a week's vacation! She communicated daily, capturing our fur babies' pieceless interactions and some fishy facial expressions! Our home, inside and out, was well cared for. I highly recommend Alexis and would be happy to answer any specific questions. Having Alexis at the house took the stress away about leaving the house, mail, plants, garbage pick-up, deliveries, etc! Mark, Nala, and Tabor miss their roommate!”
“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for the last 15 years. I have two dogs of my own who I’ve raised since they were puppies. And I had seven cats growing up. I will take fantastic care of your pets and make sure your house is clean. With my work schedule, I am able to care for pets in the early morning, at lunch, and in the evening. Flexible weekends. Time for long walks and cuddle time daily. Separate room for pets if they need to be kept apart, grassy lawn, easy access to trails for hikes. Spend as much time as possible with pets while their owners are gone to make sure they feel loved and care for.
“I used Adara for an overnight stay with my 2 pups. I came home to a clean house and happy pups! Good communication while I was away and lots of pictures. Will definitely use her again!”
“Amanda was amazing! She did a drop in for us and then also stayed over to watch our large anxious dog. She was super attentive, communicative and patient with Timber. The house was perfect and I love my daily updates, pictures and videos. Will definitely be using her again!”
“You could not find more thoughtful and caring people to genuinely love your pet than Kelly and Nabil. They prioritized Elmer’s health and happiness to the highest degree and made sure we received videos and photos every day. We feel very lucky to have them in Elmer’s life.”
About: I have been caring for dogs for quite sometime! Family, friends and my own! Walking is the best exercise, so if you need walking, I need exercise! I definitely pick up their poop! I have the experience to administer medicine! I have cared from blind and deaf dogs! This is my full time job...So can be there 24 hours if necessary! Have the time for play time! Clean.....groom them! It makes my day! I care for the pets in YOUR home! They are so used to their own surroundings especially separation anxiety. I give them their comfort !
“Shawna provided wonderful care for our two small dogs who require overnight company. We are very satisfied with Shawna's level of care and would like to rebook her services in the future!”
“Pat S. was wonderful with our 2 elderly Boston Terriers. She gave them lots of love and attention and took them on walks while we were away. No problem with giving them their medications. She also sent us pictures and texts to keep us updated on how they were doing. We will definitely have Pat take care of our pups in the future!”
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.
“Jonathan was responsible and great with our dogs. We will have him dog sit again!”
“Rachel was great. She was very patient with our elderly dog. Excellent communication!”
“Justin stayed with our cat and dog in our home for 7 days, and it was a wonderful experience! He was conscientious and communicative; Our cat is challenging and our dog is a lover; Justin did super with both! Our pets were happy to see us return but calm/chill; they were happy and content, There was no transition with learned "naughty behaviors" to un-do. It was super smooth. Justin is amiable and pleasant. He pays attention to the details of your pet's personality, care and routine. He pays attention to all that he does; our home was just as we had left it. I will definitely book him again; he is a gem. I highly recommend him!!”
About: Hello fur parents! My name is Jay and I’m so grateful you’re letting me hang out with your baby for a bit! I like dogs for more than I like people and have trained my own dogs- house breaking, therapy dog training, tricks, even retraining one dog to like men again after a scare during one of her puppy fear periods. I can’t wait to meet your baby! I’m accustomed to all sizes and breeds- I have raised and trained black labs, Siberian huskies, golden retrievers, boarder doodles, and mix breeds (my own and then I help my extended family train their dogs as well). The more fur, the more yap, the more jumping up and down, the more kisses, the better in my opinion! I am quite flexible at this time and am willing to work with you and your babies to make sure they are well loved and taken care of! However you wish for your baby to be taken care of, that is what I will do! I have a 6 year old Shiz-Tzu mix that I would be thrilled to bring along if your baby would like company.

“I cannot thank Amanda enough for how she took care of Petey and Joey (our two dogs) while we were on travel! She stayed at our house and made sure the dogs weren’t alone at night.

Amanda was our on-call dog sitter for five years, before she moved away for school. Still haven’t been able to find a pet sitter who is a suitable replacement for Amanda.”

20. Jay W.
“I've known Jay for a very long time and they have always been the biggest animal person. When we finally got a dog, he has been apprehensive of most people because of his background before we got him but Jay is one of the few people he can recognize quickly and approves of. Every dog I've ever known them to have owned or be around has been in the most caring and loving hands. Hands down would recommend them for any level of pet care!!”
