About: I have taken care of families pets and pet sat for family friends and neighbors for years. I adore animals and more than anything else want to make sure they're happy and comfortable. I'm currently studying for school and also working part time, but my schedule is very flexible, which makes it very easy to fit pets in. As a rule follower, I intend to follow every direction given for your pets care. I want to prioritize your pets safety and comfort, especially when taking care of them in their own home.

Emily was great with our 4 cats for over 30 visits during the holidays. Our timid boy came out immediately with her and she was patient with our timid girl who took a few days to get comfortable. Emily handled feeding, water, treats, litter, play, and more excellently and sent us lots of pics of our kitties. The cats will definitely miss her, and we will definitely rebook when a need comes up.

Emily was very good at interacting with Miles when they first met…. He tends to be shy initially then is OK. She sat with him yesterday evening and it all went very well… Thank you so much.

Mason was top notch care ! He did one drop in and one walk at my home each day I was gone and everything was perfect. My dog was happy, the house was good, he sent lots of pics and was extremely communicative. Would love to have him watch / walk Ozzy again and would highly recommend him to other pet owners!!

Starr is AMAZING! My small dog doesn’t do well boarding so I had her drop in, and her detailed reports (with plenty of photos!) helped ease my mind. He seemed to be having a great time with her! She also accommodated several schedule changes on short notice. Would highly recommend!

About: While my specialty is cats, I've also had a bit of experience with taking care of my family and neighbors dogs in the past. Soon I will be volunteering at Belleville Area Humane Society to gain additional experience with dogs. Currently, I don't have a traditional job so my schedule is super flexible. I'd be happy to take care of your pets any day of the week. I understand that cats have wildly different personalities and will do my best to make them feel comfortable while I'm around. I will spend time with them in whatever way they prefer, whether that's playing, petting or just existing quietly in the same space.

About: I started my care for animals 22 years ago in a non profit animal shelter. Since then I’ve been able to gain my experience through many different roles within the field of non profit shelter work and finally working up to a vet tech. I’ve been able to use the skills of vet tech in shelter as well as a private practice for the past 10 years. I’ve handled everything from neonates who need round the clock assistance to senior pets who need special medications/care or even I pets that are diabetic and need insulin. I’m an avid animal lover and protecter. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule so fitting in pet care is usually no issue. Whether dropping off pets in the morning or in the evening for boarding, drop ins, walks, dog/cat sitting, I will make sure scheduling is accommodating so that every pet I care for gets the proper love, care, and attention they need. 😁❤️ I care for pets the same as if they are my own. They will be let out to potty every 2-4 hours. I have dogs and cats in my household so they would need to be friendly with other pets but I’m alway good with sitting at your home as well. I will treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I can accommodate a pet that needs to be crated as well.

About: I have grown up with a lot of dogs, a rabbit, and 2 cats. Some whom had difficulty listening to directions or potty training. I like to get to know the pets daily routine and help them build new habits. I usually am available from 12pm to 1:30 pm on weekdays. I am usually not available on weekends or 2pm-9pm due to my work schedule. Wednesdays are usually my best days and i can pop in after work to walk or feed. I am very respectful and responsible when taking care of pets in others homes. I tend to like cleaning up after pets or my own mess. If the pet is nervous i will slowly let them warm up to me. on the rare occasion allowing pets to stay in my home I will treat them as well as my own pets taking to account their needs.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dogs. Morgan takes the time to give each pet undivided attention while still somehow managing to not let anyone feel left out. Our youngest pup is very weary of strangers and she was immediately comfortable with Morgan, even offering up her belly for some scratches! You won’t be disappointed using Morgan as a sitter, I will definitely be using her to book all future trips we will be taking.

About: I’ve stayed overnight with 4 dogs for 3 nights a few years back. I also own 2 cats (8 and almost 1) so i’ve experienced kitten energy recently. I work part time so I could pop in before and after my short shift! I can also spend the night for a few days. I think it’s important to trust their body language before anything else. I totally love petting and playing with animals but only when they approve of it.

About: In 22 years, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, horses, hedgehogs, etc, etc. I love all creatures of any shape, size, or temperament. I will adapt to your pets’ personality and boundaries and discover how to make them feel the most loved! I am taking college classes online, which means I entirely make my own schedule! Day or night, I will make time to love and care for your pet. I work 2 days a week and can often move my shifts around with advance notice. I always let the animal come to me first. The most important thing is to let them know that they can trust me, so that I can learn more about what they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I follow the lead of the pet, whether it be fast-paced walking, stopping to sniff every tree, or relaxing on the couch for an overnight stay. I’m very attentive to an animal’s communication and would love to build a trusting relationship with your pet.

We had a wonderful experience with Melissa! She checked in on our cat, Rocket, daily and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. We loved receiving her updates and photos each day. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She didn’t just stop by to feed him; she spent real time with him, playing and even entertaining him with bird videos on the TV (which he absolutely loved!). It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!

Brianna is the best! She took great care of our pets while away. Our dog Colby wasn’t feeling well as he gets very anxious sometimes especially when we’re away and she did a wonderful job with him. Very punctual and communicated everything going on. Would 100% recommend!

Makayla was so good with my dogs while I was away. She treated them like they were her own. From the moment that we had our meet and greet, I knew that my dogs would be taken care of. Makayla also sent pictures and let me know how they were doing. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be using her services again!
