“Jess was awesome. Took us pretty last minute, and was open to our dog who is very new to us. We have only had him two weeks,, so we didn’t have allot of info to give her. She knows dogs,,, knew how to great a very hyper dog on first meeting. She told us it’s not her first rodeo and it showed. I would recommend her and plan on using her I. The future.”


“Very friendly and responsive. Treated my dogs like they were her own! Kept me in the loop about everything and was not afraid to ask questions. I would definitely recommend and use again.”


“Sarah is such a great house/pet sitter for us. I’m SO thankful for her! We get daily pictures of our pup and she loves him like he is her own. She kept our house clean, helped with watering the garden/bringing in packages, and all of the things you don’t think about when you’re on vacation. It was our 2nd time using her and I’d 100% recommend her to anyone! 10/10”


“Jennifer stayed with our Lab mix Hazel for the last week and we were so happy with how things went! Hazel got lots of walks, play time, snuggles and love! She stayed in touch with us several times a day and sent pictures?. Not only did Jennifer take wonderful care of Hazel, but also took care of the mail, garbage, and pet hair - it all made our trip that much more enjoyable! We can’t wait for Jennifer to come back for our next trip!”


“I am so glad to have found a reliable home/dog sitter. Shayla did a great job at keeping me updated on my dog. She sent many photos of Charlie playing outside, chilling around the house and their snuggle time together. I felt so good knowing my dog and house was in good hands. I would highly recommend and rebook!”


“Elizabeth was so helpful taking care of our two dogs while we were away! She didn't just let them out, but also walked them and was super communicative about how they were doing. We are so grateful for all her help and felt very confident our pups were well cared for in our absence.”


“We booked Pam to stay with our dog while we went out of state for my stepdaughter's wedding after another sitter had to change plans due to surgery. Pam was wonderful! Raider is a weirdo and will refuse to warm up to sitters. Pam kept in constant communication letting me know how things were going and asking how she might get him to warm up. He often does not eat for my spouse and me so I wasn't surprised that he was not eating for her. Pam cooked bits of steak to put on his food twice (and offered to go buy one but we happened to have steak in the freezer) - which got him to eat after two days of refusing. Pam is very kind and really cares about the pets she sits. She also left our house spotless. It was especially wonderful to come home to clean sheets! I am very grateful Pam took such good care of Raider so we could enjoy the wedding festivities!”

About: I've been pet sitting since I was about 10 or 11 years old, My friends and family have always come to me when in need of a pet sitter. I currently work part time at a tutoring center but I’m available Monday - Sunday morning and evening. My normal hours at work are 12-8 pm but anytime before or after if I’m staying in your home your baby will be well taken care of I normally pet sit in your home for the amount of time I’m needed for:) I’ll feed, walk, and treat your baby like my own

“Ella is super communicative and friendly. She did a great job with my 3.5 month old puppy (not an easy task) and my cat. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”


About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born (and as of 3 years ago, I consider myself a cat person now too!) I can never see myself not having a pet at any time in my life. So i would love to get to know and care for your babies as well as you do! I currently work full-time at an animal hospital, and I do work 3 12 hour shifts. The days of the shifts are different every week. However, I do get my schedule a month in advance, so just ask if I’m available for whenever you may need! I take the safety of my/clients pets very seriously. I am comfortable with administering any medication that may be needed. I am also comfortable with crating your pets, as well as putting any gear you may require them to wear (i.e. a harness, a basket muzzle(for those who don’t play well with others on walks), any cold weather attire). I will treat them as if they are my own!

About: Hello! My name is Brooklyn Elwood, and I am currently home for the summer before starting vet school! I have experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, livestock, and some exotics. I graduated with a degree in microbiology from Iowa State University and am now going to vet school in Minnesota. I have plenty of experience in case of medical emergencies, and I know how imperative it is to have a sitter who loves your animals like their own. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of this little piece of your family! Right now, I am home for the summer and work for the USDA during the day. I can stay at your home to ensure your pet isn't alone! I will be in Illinois until the end of August. Your pets' safety and comfort are of the utmost importance to me, and I will go to any length to ensure that they are happy and healthy in my care. While with your pet(s), I will monitor their behavior to determine if they are experiencing discomfort and will notify you immediately with any concerns. Moreover, I can crate your pet at night if you wish or they can sleep with me if allowed. I will make sure that your pet(s) gets plenty of mental stimulation through playtime or training (and also LOTS of love and attention!!).

“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!”
