“Katie was wonderful with my dog and a great communicator. She sent lots of updates and I could tell she was taking great care of him. She went above and beyond! I would definitely utilize her again.”

“Louisa and her daughter did a great job of communicating with me, though their stay was short. My cat loved the attention they gave her. Her coat was beautifully soft and clean from all the brushing. I would definitely schedule them again when I am out of town.”


“We have never left our boy, Griffin for more than a couple of days before. We went on a two week trip and hired Travis to watch our big sheepadoodle. He was incredible! He sent us pictures and videos of Griffin at the dog park and around the third day, Griffin was giving him his paw and Travis was loving on him. We then received a picture of Griffin on the bed Travis used…. That sealed it…. Griffin loves him! We do too! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our boy❤️”

Our dogs loved her, and she was a conscientious and considerate caretaker. I would not hesitate to hire Leah again.”


“Stephanie took excellent care of my diabetic dog who had some surprise additional restrictions after a tooth removal earlier that week. Additionally, she left my house spotless.”


“Tessa was fantastic! She is a great communicator and was very easy to correspond with during our trip. She was able to arrange our meet and greet right away and was incredibly polite and professional. She took excellent care of our older dog, Charlie, sending frequent photos and updates. I felt very at ease with her in our home. She left our house spotless and even collected some eggs from our chickens - which was totally above and beyond. Tessa is an awesome dog sitter and I'd love to have her stay with Charlie again in a heartbeat!”


“Coral was easy to work with and our dogs loved her. She sent us lots of pictures, which we always love when we have to be away from our babies.”

“Amanda was amazing and worked wonderfully with our pets, we will definitely be using her services again!!”


“Maddie took such good care of our dog when we were away. We could tell at our meet and greet that Ferdinand and Maddie were a good match. Just knowing he was in good hands, being well fed and going on walks, gave us great peace of mind. She also helped us out by bringing in our mail, Amazon packages and wheeling our trash and recycle bins in for us. We were so happy to receive some very cute pictures of Ferdinand. You are an amazing sitter, and we will be recommending your services to all of our friends and family who have animals. Thanks a million Maddie!”


About: I have always had a deep love and compassion for animals. Growing up, my family always had pets, and I've been fortunate to have them as a constant part of my life. I had two guinea pigs in my youth, and we’ve also had Westies, an Old English Sheepdog, and a Terrier mix. Currently, I have two cats with special medical needs, so I am experienced in administering medication and providing specialized care when necessary. I live in the Marquette neighborhood but will be working part-time in the mornings on the near west side this summer. Consequently, my availability is flexible and I will be available in the afternoons and evenings. Additionally, I am LGBTQ+ friendly and strive to create a welcoming environment for all. If you're looking for someone reliable and caring to look after your pets, I would love to help ensure their well-being while you're away. I work full time as a teacher. I can work in evening visits or walks and am usually available on weekends. I try to be flexible! I am very detail oriented and will treat your pet just like I would my own! Whether that’s giving medicine, double checking the leash, or scooping litter, whatever makes you and your pet comfortable!

About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet lover with a lifelong connection to animals. I'm so grateful for my upbringing on a farm in Iowa, taking care of dogs, cats, goats and more! I have valuable experience training my two dogs, one of which had only two legs! He didn't know it though (lol)! While currently a cat mom of two, I regularly pet-sit and walk doggie friends. My background in pet care and genuine love for animals ensures I'll provide attentive, professional care for your furry friend! Pet visits and dog walking are my primary source of income, and I have few other obligations, so you can feel secure that I have time to dedicate to your furry friends! I'm constantly assessing possible safety issues with my own furry friends at home, so my mind is programmed to providing a safe environment for all pets. You can feel confident in my attention to your pets well fare.

“Kooy was so gentle and patient with our very nervous and wary dog. He has an excellent sense for canine body language and took wonderful care of our cat, fish, and our home, too. Highly recommend him!”


“Andrea was super helpful and kind, agreeing to take care of my dog on short-notice when I suddenly needed to be out of town for a weekend! She is definitely highly recommended by both my dog and I!”


“Joshua was fantastic from the start! He took such great care of Millie & Hope and provided daily updates. The house was spotless after a week of being gone & the dogs were very happy!! Would certainly recommend Joshua and will definitely use him again in the future!”

About: I have experience watching family members’ dogs. I particularly enjoy taking them for a walk or jogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages. My favorite breed is golden retrievers. I currently work full time Monday through Friday. I have availability early mornings, evenings and weekends. I am flexible during these times depending what is needed. I am very observant in paying attention to how cats and dogs are doing without their owner, such as eating, drinking and going to the bathroom. Pets tend to warm up quickly to me.

“Annemarie was a WONDERFUL dog sitter for my pup! She was so attentive and kept me informed the entire time, and Laika absolutely adored her. I will definitely be rebooking!”


“Kim was a great pet sitter for our 2 dogs and cat! She was super communicative and responsible. We will definitely book with her again the next time we’re in need of a pet sitter.”

“We’ve trusted Jessa to care for our golden retriever, Dolly, since she was a puppy, and she’s been incredible every step of the way. Jessa has a natural comfort with dogs and connected with Dolly right away. Over the past four years, she’s been consistently responsible, reliable, and attentive—always keeping us updated and following instructions to the letter. Knowing Dolly is in such good hands has given us total peace of mind. Jessa is also wonderful with Dolly’s care and routines. She takes her on regular walks, gives her plenty of love and attention, and has even bathed her with patience and care (no easy task with a golden retriever!). Dolly absolutely adores her, and it’s clear Jessa treats her like one of her own. We highly recommend Jessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
