“Eloisa did a fantastic job with my two cats. She gave my older cat medicine twice a day and even made friends with my shy cat. It was a relief to know that my babies were well cared for while I was away. I will definitely use Eloisa again. In fact, we're already booked for my next trip.”

“Jana did drop-in visits with our three cats while we were away. She took great care of them! She communicated well with me when needed and I felt at ease knowing she was dropping in daily. I definitely recommend Jana!! Thanks!”

About: I provide personalized, attentive care to every pet I watch, treating them like family. With experience in puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medications, I understand the unique needs of pets at every life stage. My focus is on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you peace of mind. Whether it’s extra patience for a shy cat, energy for an active pup, or gentle care for an aging pet, I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality and needs. I can also offer flexible scheduling with daytime, evening, and weekend availability to fit your busy life. My flexible schedules allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even on evenings and weekends, so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands at all times. I provide care in your home, so your pets can stay in their familiar, comfortable environment. This allows them to maintain their normal routines and feel safe while you’re away. My services are flexible and tailored to each pet’s needs, whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication administration, or extra attention for senior pets.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, I bring a deep personal commitment to every pet I care for. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your dogs I'll dedicate my time to really getting to know them and their preferences. I have shared my home with several senior pets over the years and understand the specialized attention they require. Elderly animals hold a special place in my heart, and I am especially attuned to their comfort, routines, and medical needs. I have three pets - a spunky, energetic Chihuahua and two senior cats. Your pets will be cared for with the same thoughtfulness, reliability, and respect I give my own. I’m a professional photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to be reliable and present when pet families need support. Running my own business has taught me the importance of communication, trust, and attention to detail. I’m also a parent to a teenager, so responsibility and consistency are a big part my everyday life. I value routine, patience, and creating a calm, steady environment, which is something pets truly benefit from. In my free time, you’ll often find me outdoors exploring nature with my camera, taking walks, or simply enjoying fresh air. I appreciate the simple joy animals bring to our lives and feel honored to care for them with the same thoughtfulness and respect I give my own. I know it can be hard on animals when their humans are away. Transitions can feel big for them. I move slowly, pay attention, and let trust build naturally so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. My animals are the world to me. I love the everyday rhythms — the walks, the play, the brushing, the quiet moments on the couch. I lead with love and consistency, and I bring that same energy into your home. When I care for your pets, they’ll have plenty of playtime, walks tailored to their needs, and as much cuddle time as they’d like (or space, if that’s more their style). You can trust that I will respect your home, honor your routines, and care for your animals with the same attentiveness and affection I give my own.

About: I've either owned or taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I love furry friends and I'd love to help you. I'm currently working a position remotely with some minor travel. Checking on your pet, playing with your pet, or walking. Your pet is easy to fit in my schedule. I have a shaded backyard and garden that animals love. They sit on the porch and sleep all day. My house is heated and cooled based on the time of year.
About: I have worked previously in veterinary clinics as an assistant and as a pet-sitter for family members. I have a lot of knowledge about the behaviors and temperment of animals as well as a love and compassion for them! I am a college student with a lot of free time between classes and in the evenings to care for your pets. I also have a very open schedule on the weekends. I take clients' requests very seriously when it comes to how they wish for their animals to be taken care of in their home while in my care. It is a priority that they stay happy and comfortable!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was at least 10 years old. I have pet sat, walked, fed, bathed, and helped provide basic training for friends, family, and neighbors who relied on me to care and love for their pets. Animals have always been a big part of my life! They love unconditionally and deserve to be spoiled with walks, play, love and treats!! My own pets and experiences with other animals has brought me so much joy that I want to give back to those animals that live in my community! I work as a teacher Monday-Friday so during the week I’m only available in the evening. Weekends are much more open! However, once summer hits I will be available during the day, evening, and weekends! I have had experience with dogs and cats as pets! When I had dogs I would provide daily walks, feedings twice a day, water, and of course daily plays. On top of that, grooming was a top priority to keep them clean and brushed so their coat and skin is well cared for. I currently have two cats! They are fed twice a day and their liter boxes are emptied every day as well. They are brushed regularly. They are inside kitties and play with the toys provided to them and take lots of cat naps between sun bathing in the sunlight! ☺️
About: I have experience in veterinary medicine, boarding, and training. I am very hands on and attentive when caring for animals and will keep them safe and engaged! I am a full time college student in St Joseph but have a fairly flexible schedule and can be scheduled almost any day of the week! I have a fenced in space outside my home where dogs can run around and play as well as a large crate inside and lots of open backyard space for walks.

About: Since I was born I have been involved with animals. We’ve had birds, dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and wildlife. I’ve taken care of some of the coolest animals and it’s a huge passion of mine! I’m currently working as a vet tech at a non profit vet clinic/animal rescue so working with animals is a huge passion of mine. I’m starting school in the fall to get my prerequisites done and then hopefully onto vet school! I love my pets so I will love yours just as much and treat them as my own. I’ve been around animals since I was born and am always trying to rescue/help some kind of animal!

About: I have lifelong, hands on experience caring for animals and specialize in supporting pets through every stage of life. I currently have a puppy (toy Aussiedoodle), so I’m actively experienced in potty training and reinforcing foundational commands like sit, stay, and come with consistency and patience. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. I cared for my own from age 3 through 17, which gave me a deep understanding of advanced care needs such as medication administration, bathing, mobility support, doggy diaper care, and hand-feeding. I’m comfortable navigating the sensitivities that can come with new people and aging, including moments of discomfort or food related aggression, and always handle pets with a calm, patient approach. I currently care for two dogs and three cats, which keeps me very in tune with different temperaments, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior, adjust my care style accordingly, and provide steady, patient, and attentive care that helps pets feel safe and loved. My friends and family always call me for pet sitting needs due to my loving and bubbly personality and strong passion and dedication for animals. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. At the moment, I have open availability 7 days a week, which allows me to be flexible and responsive for visits, walks, or other activities. I am currently in the process of interviewing for part-time positions, but I remain committed to prioritizing pet care and can easily accommodate visits before or after work shifts. I’m very flexible and happy to work around what’s best for each pet’s routine. I provide care in a calm, attentive, and safety-focused way that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so pets can stay in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I pay close attention to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. I also take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace—whether that means a gentle introduction, giving them space if they’re shy, or engaging with play and affection once they’re comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping owners fully informed and at ease throughout the visit. I also have two dogs of my own if your fur baby is ever needing a friend. 💛

I am looking for a side job to make some money while I try to go to college! I have two very active labs who like to go out very often and I live right down the street from a park. We always go out and play there. I really enjoy playing with animals. I like seeing them workout problems and learn. I love playing outside as well I cannot take care of cats at my place as my dogs aren’t very fond of them, ( so I can’t take cats into my home but can come to yours) but I love cats and would treat yours as if they were my own.
About: In high school, I volunteered at my local humane society as a cat socializer and a dog walker. I am trained to walk dogs that may be a little more difficult to handle than others and I am great at socializing any breed of animal. I’m currently working full time, but I am available on weekends! Check my availability to see what best suits you and your furry friend's schedule! I care for my clients pets in their homes depending on the client and their pets needs.

Audrey was wonderful with our senior dog, Gabby, and our cat, Piper! Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but she gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. We especially appreciated her patience and attentiveness with Gabby being an older dog. Knowing Audrey is CPR certified was an added bonus and made us feel even more confident that our pets were in great hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and would absolutely book with Audrey again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

We just returned home after our third visit within 13 months with Eloisa and once again everything was perfect. We were away for an extended trip and never had a single concern about our home or, most importantly, our fur babies. It made our vacation so much more relaxing knowing Eloisa was caring for our babies. Even during an extended time away, we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in great hands. We came home to happy babies. Couldn’t ask for better. Absolutely recommend!

Very helpful and knowledgeable. She took care of our kitties for three days while we were gone. You could tell that they were very comfortable with her and that she enjoys going what she is asked to do. My wife left a detailed list with pictures and everything on how to take care our babies and it was followed to a T. Thank you for everything.
