Sydney was a huge lifesaver when I needed someone to watch my dog while in town for a few days. She was awesome with my dog Atlas, who’s usually pretty skeptical of new people, and he loved playing with her dog Honey

About: I’m a caring pet sitter with 5+ years’ experience and ASPCA training. I love all animals and specialize in puppy training, senior care, multi-pet homes, and pets with special needs, providing safe, loving care and regular updates. I provide structured and attentive care for every pet, ensuring their health, safety, and happiness. Daily, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, enrichment, grooming touch-ups, and a calm bonding session to make pets feel loved and secure. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. Weekly, I focus on deeper tasks like grooming, cleaning habitats or litter boxes, socialization or training sessions, and tracking any medications or special care needs. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and thriving while maintaining a consistent, reliable routine. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In your home, I follow your routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, while keeping the space tidy and providing updates with photos. In my home, I create a calm, comfortable environment with separate areas for pets as needed, enrichment activities, supervised play, and gentle attention. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, small animals, multi-pet households, puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs, ensuring every animal feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!

Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.

About: Being a senior makes me old school, like being exactly on time or a bit early. I subscribe to the Dog Whisperer tenet of being ALPHA and pack leader to dogs in my care. A dog in a pack is a happy dog. I only use positive reinforcement. Ex.: dog pulling on the leash can be fixed by changing directions every 4 steps to the left, walking in a square, this encourages the dog to slow down and watch his human. Dog hair is a welcome addition to a life well lived, that's why my dogs get furniture and bed privileges. One fact about my dogs i pay attention to is how many sips of water they take. On a very hot day I've seen 30-40. This helps me know easily how my pet is feeling so I can react accordingly. Maybe time to put the soft Frisbee away! I'm fully retired, and rise early, so morning walks are easy. Breakfast is next, and 1hr later another walk outside. I like to prep a bag to take to the park. My fav is Schiller Park in German Village. I don't own a pet currently, I've had some health issues that are now resolved. Having been an owner twice in my life has given me many many experiences so I am flexible.

Simon was great! My baby had so much fun with him. He replied super quickly and agreed to take care of her on short notice. He also sent pictures, which was a huge relief for me and gave me peace of mind knowing she was happy. When I went to pick her up, she didn’t even want to leave! On the second day of daycare, she jumped out of the car and didn’t even look back. I’ll definitely book with him again!

We were in from out of town and had to make an emergency last minute booking. Christina was happy to have our girls! She was super warm and welcoming and gave regular updates. When we picked up our pups, she surprised us with a cute painting she did with their paws! 100% would recommend her to anyone in the area.

Kaleigh and Connor were lifesavers! I travel with my pup Rocky for work and it’s always a little nerve wracking to agree to a new situation. I felt totally comfortable leaving Rocky…. and completely convinced the next day when she (uncharacteristically!) bounced into their home and up on the couch with Connor. 🥹 Their pups are sweet little ladies and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again! Thank you! 🥰
