“Had to go into work for an unexpected two days and Mary-Kate was a great find. She lives in my neighborhood and was so sweet to my dogs. Will definitely use her again!”
“Riina was a wonderful sitter for my kitty. She came to each drop in and stayed for the 30 mins required. She gave great daily details on how my kitty was doing. She is a sweet caring Rover and we are thrilled with her performance.”
“We couldn’t recommend Autumn more! She sent us multiple pictures & detailed updates. She went out of her way to watch our pets and took the extra mile to make sure they were well taken care of while we were out of town.”
“Heidi is kind, professional and very responsive! We asked Heidi to check in on our cat. Our cat is selective with people and can be sassy and unsure about new people. Heidi was patient and calm with her and did everything we asked and more to make our cat as comfortable as possible while we were away. We plan to book with Heidi again. Highly recommend!”
“Amy is so wonderful! Very thorough and truly cares about the wellbeing of your pet! Would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for someone to trust with your home and your pet!”
“She’s the best!! I traveled all the way from Green Bay and needed some help with my boy while I coached in a tournament. She was extremely flexible on time and brought him on so many adventures, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better?”
About: I am very familiar with reptiles, cats, dogs, and birds. I have been helping take care of others animals and have lots of experience with all stages of dogs. I am currently working part time and have a lot of free time that I would love to occupy more! I am also very flexible with my other job I treat my pets in my home like they are my own kids, and they definitely are spoiled! I am versed with crate training , potty training, etc.
“Kiaira is an angel and a Godsend!! I don’t know what we would’ve done without her. Our dogs loved her. I will be booking her every time I need someone and she is available. Kiaira and her fiancé are truly a gift! We’re so grateful for them!”
About: I’ve had pets growing up my whole life. I own a cat myself. I also frequently babysit my “nephew” (St. Bernese Mountain Dog) frequently, along with many other family members who have pets! I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I work mostly nights, so I have plenty of downtime during day time hours. I have an indoor cat so he is pretty relaxed in his environment. I have family members with fenced in yards, tracking collars, and/or just a simple chain and post.
About: I’ve had animals since I was born. Dogs, cats, chickens, and eventually convinced my dad of horses. We’ve had 2 litters of puppies, so I’m experienced in pups as well! I went to Texas for 3 months to train barrel horses and learned so much! I’ve worked alongside my equine vet for MANY years, and have learned a ton from her as well. My love for animals is what everyone notices about me. One of my very first words, was “horse” believe it or not! I am 19, have TONS of referrals, clean driving record, and have been trusted to stay in other families home while they are away:) My work schedule varies. One of my jobs is from 2-10:30 pm, where my other one is 7(or 8) am-4pm. I can wake up early to let them out before work, as well as stop out after work! Times don’t matter to me as long as the animals get taken care of twice daily, I will wake up and stay up as early and late as necessary! I live at home with my parents, as for right now I do not accept animals in home. I offer staying at families homes while they’re gone, doing drop-in’s, and walking!
About: I currently have 2 cats of my own that I take care of, and I also have experience with cat-sitting, dog-sitting, dog-walking, and more 🐱🐶❤️ I’m working part-time as a pet sitter right now and I can watch your pets on any day of the week (including weekends) from 3:30pm to midnight, but I am willing to make exceptions if I receive any inquiries for pet-sitting outside of my normal hours :) I mainly care for pets at the homes of my clients, but cats are welcome in my home if they don’t mind the company of my 2 cats :) 1 cat per day, and you have to bring your cat in some type of cage/crate. They will be staying upstairs where my room, litter box, and food/water bowls are located.
About: I have been a dog groomer for 3 years. Over the years I have learned to understand stress signals, body language and over all dog health and safe handling. I am working towards being CPR certified for dogs, although I have lots of experience with first aid for both dogs and cats. I have found a great passion for caring for pets and would like to expand my knowledge! I work with dogs and cats on a daily basis! I work 7:30am-4:00pm Monday-Friday and I’m free on Saturdays to do any type of pet care. I would love to expand my experience on working with pets from different backgrounds and continue my love for working with animals. I would be sure to follow all rules for the pets care as every pet is different and has different needs. I would be sure that all my focus will be on the pet and the safety of the pet and home. I would never want a pet to be put in a bad situation as my dogs are my babies and I would want the same for them.
“Janneke is great with our girl and we come home to a happy walked pup!! She is timely, friendly and makes sure to give us updates and notes any changes she notices with our dog. Thank you!”
About: I love dogs, and more importantly, I understand them. A lifetime of caring for, interacting with and learning about animals has given me the skills to keep dogs safe, healthy, engaged, and of course, happy! I enjoy all types of dogs and all personalities. I have a degree in Veterinary Technology and took additional classes in dog behavior and am comfortable with dogs that are difficult for others, such as dominant or very timid. I feel a special connection with dogs that are unsure and love using my knowledge of them to help them come out of their shell. I have worked with hundreds of dogs in veterinary, rescue, boarding and grooming settings. I have attained a CGC with two dogs and done some agility. But mostly I love just being with dogs, mine and any I come across, walking, playing, snuggling, swimming, and anything that brings that smile to their face and that sparkle to their eye. I am honest, flexible, and will respect your property 100%. I am honored to be trusted by those I work for and am happiest when I hear "I didn't have to worry at all because I knew you were there".

Grace C.
“Grace was responsive to my inquiry about watching our animals both short notice and months out. We were really nervous and unsure about asking someone to stay at our home to care for our 3 dogs/3 cats- a mix of in door and out door- to include a 10 month old puppy and a 3 year old Shepherd who is protective. Grace came by our home a few days before our departure to meet the animals. She arrived confident and the animals fell in love with her as soon as she got out of her vehicle. The rest is history… She animal sat for us for 5 days, this includes staying at our home. Grace was responsive to our texts when animal sitting which settled my nerves (my babies!). We returned home to happy and healthy animals, and the house was left pretty much untouched. Highly recommend Grace, she’ll take wonderful care of your animals, no doubt.”
