“Niara is awesome. ! She offered us a meet and greet before we booked the stay and she showed up early and was very knowledgeable about dog temperament - one of our dogs Sky is a rescue and not good with all dogs.

Niara would definitely be our first choice for dog sitting for the next time we are out of town!”


“Lark stayed for a week at our home and was so caring of our furry baby Kevin.

“Sterling was a fantastic dog sitter. It was our first time leaving the country without our pups and we were naturally a little nervous. Sterling took both great care of our fur babies aswell as our home. He was extremely responsive and sent us plenty of photos and videos of our pups on walks and relaxing at home. We will absolutely be trusting our dogs with Sterling again, giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our time away while being confident that they are in safe hands. Thank you Sterling!!🐶🐶🐾”


“Madison did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. She even went the extra mile and took one to the vet as soon as she could when he got sick. House was left in great shape and she cleaned up very well. Wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch our dogs again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.

About: Hey there, I’m Danielle, 36, of Belleville. I’m a mother of 6 human children and only 2 fur children right now. That’s really saying something because I’ve always had plenty of animals around me. My family has been on the right side of animal empathy for as long as I can remember. As a family we’ve volunteered and fostered for the local humane society. We’ve found ourselves in the face of wounded and homeless creatures more times than I could count that we’ve taken in graciously and to the best of our ability. These experiences have taught us so much about animal care. My experience also ranges far beyond dogs and cats. I do have experience with many reptiles and mammals as well, caged and uncaged. I am a full Time student and mother. Caring for pets full time fits naturally into the routine. I’m available as much or as little As needed while you’re away. I want to create a similar environment for your pet to their normal routine. Pet parents being away creates an anxiety I would strive to calm in your absence and consistency is important for them. Walks, spending time with them, frequent potty breaks, and feeding routines are something I would want to mimic of your current habits as best as possible. As a home owner myself, I’m aware and experienced with red flags of home security and maintenance. Providing a lifeline to your other most valuable assets left behind can offer a peace of mind while you are away.

About: Loving and pawsitive sitter, I make pet sitting fun and exiting while following the pets/ owners needs and requirements. I have been around animals my whole life and have a few of my own. I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, loving, and simulating environment for any pet in my care. I’m currently working mornings Monday through Friday until around 2pm. I am able to overnight sit on weekends, and if needed can sometimes work it into my weekday schedule. I can walk and sit dogs throughout the week any day after 2pm. I meticulously follow instructions, while maintaining a safe environment. I provide companionship and enrichment to your pet while respecting the home. Also providing communication and updates (if wanted) on your pets care.

“Paige was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter/ dog walker for our dog Ozzy! She was very communicative and flexible and sent lots of pics which I just loved. Will definitely go with Paige again. Just a sweet, conscientious, trustworthy person overall 😍”


About: I’ve been caring for all types of dogs since I was around five years old. From my sweet rescue, to my best friend’s three German Shepards and one bichon-shih tzu mix, to my neighbors diaper wearing beagle down to my college roommate’s two rambunctious Aussie puppies. From seniors to six months I’ve watched and played with all sizes and all personalities. I’ve also cared for cats from a neighbor’s skittish black cat to a roommates sassy white old lady. I love being around animals and I haven’t met one that doesn’t love being around me too! I’m working on getting back to a part time job to save up for grad school, but between family commitments and working at the zoo I would love to spend time with your fur baby. Taking time to meet your pet in their home environment is incredibly important! It makes them feel safe and helps me learn more about your pet. I’m good with leash training and can walk large dogs even rambunctious ones.

“Anna was phenomenal”


About: I take the time to get to know each dog, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I offer flexible walking hours to fit your busy lifestyle, so your dog always gets their daily stroll, even if your schedule changes. I specialize in small group walks or solo sessions to give each dog the undivided attention they deserve. I make sure every walk is fun and engaging experience, building a strong bond with your dog while they get plenty of exercise. I typically start my day with morning walks, which helps energize both me and the dogs. Depending on the dog, these walks may be more leisurely or faster paced to match their needs. If you have a busy schedule, I would fit in midday walks or potty breaks to make sure your dog stays happy and active. After a day of work or activities, evening walks can help dogs burn off any extra energy before bedtime. I would create a pet friendly area with comfortable bedding, toys, and access to fresh water. If a pet stays over for awhile, I’d make sure they have their own quiet space where they can retreat if they need rest.

“I can’t recommend Mason highly enough when it comes to dog care. From the very first meeting, it was clear that he genuinely loves animals and understands their needs. My dog, who’s usually shy around new people, warmed up to him almost immediately—a true testament to Mason’s calm and caring nature. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just spending time keeping my pup company, Mason goes above and beyond. He’s reliable, communicative, and always treats my dog like his own. I never have to worry when my dog is in Mason’s care, and that peace of mind is priceless.
