“I had a fantastic experience with Adriana! She was punctual, respectful, and incredibly trustworthy, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog, Shirley, can be a bit particular, but she absolutely loves Adriana—which says a lot! It’s clear she has a natural way with animals, and I appreciated how attentive and caring she was. She followed all instructions perfectly, and I never had to worry about Shirley’s safety or happiness. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”


“Christy was such a wonderful sitter and our dog really loved her! I can't recommend her enough! We can't wait to use Christy again because she made us so comfortable away from home knowing our doggie was in good hands.”


About: Hi! Im Jadae, a 20 year old student who loves anything animal related! I have owned many different types of animals growing up including hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, ducks, fish, turtles, crabs, and a gecko! Currently a dog and cat mom of a Shiba inu named Hero, and a special mix cat named Mr. T. I have some experience administering oral medication if needed I am currently on break from school until August 18th so until then I am very flexible! **I require a meet and greet for all bookings to be introduced to one another and ensure I am the best fit for you and your pet(s)!** During school my schedule will change, I have class Tuesdays from 10-3 and Wednesdays-Fridays clinicals from 8:30-4. I will always be upfront with my schedule or if anything changes in advance :) Living with a dog and a cat can sometimes (not often) lead to me having to get in between a little argument. I'm able to stop any fights that may occur and make sure everyone is safe and happy! Your pet(s) comfort and happiness is my number one priority. I will follow any instructions down to a tea and make sure your pet(s) and house are taken care of while you're away!

About: I grew up with dogs. I don't have any special training but I can walk them, play with them, provide food and water. I can give monthly flea and tick medication. I have a cat and a dog. I work a full time job Monday through Friday until 5:30 pm. I am available nights during the week, anytime after 8 or 9 am weekends & holidays. I can also do afternoon drop ins and dog walks when school is not in session. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. I will respect your home as if it were mine. For boarding in my house, I do have enough space to keep your pet(s) separate from mine in case they do not get along. I do work from home so your pets won't get lonely.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old for family and family friends. I have my own fur babies an English Bulldog named Chief and a pit bull mix named Chewy that we rescued. I have developed more knowledge of pet allergies, sensitivities, and pet anxiety since having them. Animals hold a special place in my heart and I have always loved being around them. I’m currently working full time weekdays. I am open to house-sitting on the weekends. Checking in on your fur babies during the weekdays after work. I can not board any animals due to having my own fur babies, but am more than willing to take care of them at your home.

“Reagan was amazing to us and to our dogs. This was our first time using Rover and she made us feel very comfortable. Communication was great and she updated us with photos daily. The dogs seemed really happy and well taken care of when we got home this evening so they obviously loved her too! We also had a couch that was unexpectedly delivered while we were away and she managed to get the heavy boxes inside without us even asking her to. So sweet! I can’t recommend her enough and will be using her anytime we go out of town in the future if she is available!”


About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and will bring the same level of love, comfort and care to your know fur babies. I'm recently retired so I have lots of free time. I'm available for daytime check-ins, walks, overnights at client homes, etc, and even weekends if needed. Currently I'm able to watch your dog or cat in your home as my house doesn't have a fenced yard. I have many years of experience sitting for friends and will treat your fur baby as I would want done for my little girl.

“Alexa was amazing! She cared for our pup for 12 days and truly went above and beyond—watering flowers, taking out the trash, checking the mail, and always communicating clearly. She was reliable, thoughtful, and our dog was completely spoiled. Highly recommend!”


“Jo F. Has been consistently available and friendly. Visits always include photos, and Jo has been quick to communicate any issues (like a tricky patio lock). I will have Jo take care of my cats as long as they are willing.”



“Valerie is AMAZING! My husband and I were so impressed with Valerie. She's professional, very friendly, and she even managed to pet some of my cats for her visit with us and that NEVER happens! She even managed to pet our oldest cat who just likes to be left alone. Valerie was so gentle and sweet w We are so glad we chose Valerie and we highly recommend her!”


“Such a sweetheart and took excellent care of my fur babies while I was away! She was on time and very professional definitely going to be using Alexis again for dog sitting services! 🐾🐶”


About: I’ve owned 3 labs. I’ve done all the training myself. I can give medications. I exercise my dog 2 times daily. Experienced caretaker of dogs. I am available as needed. I prefer advanced notice. Minimum one hour notice. I can work weekdays, with a preference of hours between 10am - 6pm. I don’t intend to offer services inside my own home. I am only interested in providing services for your own pet in their own environment or neighborhood.

About: I took care of my dog since a puppy. up until he passed away due to seizures, which I was able to attend and help him with when they occurred. I will babysit for my sisters puppy when they are unavailable. I love to take care of any pets, because they are such a joy, and playful, so when I’m in need of a laugh or a smile, interacting with pets is always very helpful. By making sure that they stay in the designated area that I get told, and by making sure they behave appropriately without any complications. They will be in good hands.


About: I am a certified dog groomer and dog trainer with a Bachelor's degree from Purdue University in animal behavior. I was a pet stylist at Petsmart for five years. I have many years of experience training and providing care for dogs, cats and exotic animals. I am comfortable administering medication and caring for special needs dogs/cats. I am well educated on nutrition, behavior and grooming needs and would love to offer advice on any of these things. I am also willing to do some grooming if desired. I am only able at this time to do drop in visits and dog walking. I work remotely most of the week, so I have a lot of availability during the day (except Tuesdays and Wednesdays) and during the evenings and weekends I can do drop in visits at your home or also provide walks and follow any instructions provided! Also happy to give advice is desired! I’m also able to groom small dogs.

“Jessica did an outstanding job taking care of our kitty for a few days. While you can tell she loves animals, she also treats caretaking seriously as a business. Jessica was right on time for each visit. She took the time to provide detailed feedback on each visit- not just providing cursory info. She was very responsive each time I reached out to her. I asked that she wear our cat out with play each time, and Jessica delivered. Can't recommend more highly. Your fur babies will be in trustworthy hands.”


“Please read for warnings. Torie is someone who seems to truly love cats and gave my cat lots of love/attention which is why I’m giving 4 stars but there are a few red flags that make me reconsider booking her again. Luckily I had cameras set up so I could monitor what she did in my home: 1. On the first day, she brought a complete stranger into my home without permission. This is completely rude and unprofessional. 2. Not a huge deal, but I booked her for 3 visits, one for around noon and the other 2 for around 5pm. All 3 visits were done around noon. I said I wasn’t strict about time but wanted it to be after working hours after the first visit. 3. Taking care of my cat is pretty easy, I just asked for his food to be refilled, cat litter cleaned, for him to be pet, and for him to be brushed. During first 2 visits she didn’t brush him at all. When I texted asking her to brush him she literally did 2-3 brush strokes (not exaggerating) on her last visit. If brushing is important I’d strongly reconsider booking. 4. A bit too nosey for my liking but I might be a bit sensitive. Cat was always in an open area in living room yet she walked over and took purposeful glances multiple times into my bedroom and office and looked in my fridge. Overall if Torie learns to brush cats, comes at agreed times (even if not perfect), respects privacy, and doesn’t bring strangers to the home then she’ll be a great cat sitter as it’s apparent that she truly loves cats and gets joy from taking care of them.”



“Sandy’s first drop in with Torie went great, she was a happy girl when we got home and she took to Sandy right away at our meet and greet. We are looking forward to many more visits from her and are very pleased with her as our pet sitter.”


About: I’ve been casually caring for dogs for several years, mainly for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company, I’m someone pets feel comfortable around. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m dependable, patient, and always make sure your dog feels safe and loved. I treat every pet like my own and follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I am a full time teacher, but I always have time for your fur babies after school! I already love going on walks, so adding your puppy is a treat for me!! I always follow instructions provided thoroughly! I just want your baby to be safe! I always like to keep the space I am in clean!

“McKayla visited our cat, Jack, twice a day for the week we were away. She performed most tasks as requested, such as feeding Jack and cleaning his litter pan. However, she only visited for 10 minutes most days and did not stay the full 30 minutes with him each time nor send us regular pics. Overall McKayla was a good sitter, she just needs a little more experience.”
