“We are so grateful to have Jessica care for our pets while we travel! She came through for us very last minute when we had to leave our cats at home unexpectedly. They were not only well cared for but loved too! We will continue to book Jessica when we travel and highly recommend her to anyone in need of an amazing house/pet sitter while you’re away!”

“Ashlee was great at communicating and went above and beyond for my large dog with medical needs. She was able to assist him outside using a sling and adhere to his physical restrictions post surgery.”
3. Amanda T.
“Amanda is great! She is so good with my 2 labs and such a sweet person. I will be asking her a few times each week for drop in visits. :)”
4. Ella C.
“Ella did a wonderful job caring for my two elderly cats! She had no complaints about their messy non-litter-box deposits, and she was fine about giving multiple meds to my 19-year old cat, Frisky. When Ella came over to return my house key, Frisky jumped right into her arms and clearly enjoyed cuddling with her. I would definitely give Ella a high recommendation.”
5. Marilia D.
“Marilia has looked after my kitty several times now, and she always does a great job. I appreciate that she patiently tries hard to make friends with her, even though those overtures are typically rebuffed by the aloof kitty!”

7. Dani D.
About: Hello and welcome! My name is Dani and I’ve taken care of multiple different kinds of pets for extended periods of time while their owners were out on various adventures. I have my own two dogs, as well as four cats. I have experience with multiple different breeds and types of animals, as well as being able to handle many at a time. (I have had up to 6 dogs in my care at one time!) I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, which is why I will update you with pictures as much as you would like. I have a finished basement if your loved one would prefer to be separated, and also have many open rooms for them to choose from for slumber. The cats have a gated off cat room, only accessible to humans and kitties. The crew and I can’t wait to meet you! (Or if you prefer the whole crew won’t meet you :)). I’m currently working part time as a CNA, The longest your pet will be left alone in my home is a maximum of 2 hours. At this time I am home for the day by 2:30 pm at the latest. There is one other person is the home, being my fiancé. His name is Aidan and he does help out with the animals (taking out the dogs, walks, feeding, play time, etc.) You can request my schedule for any amount of time to confirm your loved one will be cared for properly and on time. I have cats, dogs, and fish. I had a childhood cat and have had dogs around my entire life. I keep my fishtanks neat and clean, as well as my home. My dogs are extremely friendly even with cats. My backyard is also fenced in.

“Anna did great with my cat, Wally! I enjoyed her daily detailed updates and photos. Wally is a shy cat with new people but eventually on the last day, Wally appeared to warm up to her ☺️”
9. Becky R.
“Becky was perfect as usual. I never have any concerns leaving my 3 dogs in her care. She provides thorough reports and pictures with each visit. We always enjoy a peak into their day while we are away. I can enjoy being away knowing that the boys are in good and responsible hands.”
10. Alyssa S.

13. Vicki S.
“Vicki was great. After meeting her and seeing how our cat interacted with her any concerns we had vanished. Highly recommend Vicki to watch after your fur baby.”
14. Jackson E.
“Jackson took incredible care of my cat while I was out of town over Labor Day Weekend. Not only was he attentive to my cat’s needs, but he also provided regular updates that gave me peace of mind during my trip. Jackson was very respectful of my home, leaving everything exactly as I had left it. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Jackson to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
15. Charlotte M.
“The first time my dog met Charlotte, she refused to leave her side, especially when she discovered that Charlotte is an expert at giving ear massages. It's a testament to how wonderful Charlotte is with animals, how gentle and loving she is that they are naturally drawn to her. When I thought my dog needed surgery and someone would have to spend all day with her during recovery, I instantly thought of Charlotte as a potential caregiver, and I'd trust Charlotte absolutely in my dog's most vulnerable state. Charlotte is an incredible dog mom and your pets would be so lucky to have her care for them.”
16. Ryan T.
“Ryan did a fabulous job. My pets were so happy there—from his pics and vids—that they looked like they had found a second home. He watched our two dogs and a cat. He communicated well, was obviously very experienced, and knew how to make our three pets happy. We were gone for over twenty days, and for once, weren’t worried about how our pets were handling our absence. What a great experience they had!”

18. Alyssa B.
About: I have been passionate about animals, big and small, my entire life! I have volunteered at humane societies, fostered animals in need, cared for the pets of family members and friends, interned at AZA-accredited zoos, and worked at wildlife sanctuaries. Currently I am a full-time licensed wildlife rehabilitator caring for injured and orphaned Wisconsin wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into the wild, but I have previously worked with a variety of domestic animals both in my personal and in my professional life. I am well versed in animal behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement. I promise to treat (and spoil) your pets like they are my own! At the moment I have 3 sweet cats, a high-energy dog, a mischievous chinchilla, and a gentleman of a ball python! Please do not hesitate to reach out and get to know me more! I currently work 4 days of the week at my full time job so I am only available select days. I am eager to spend time with your pets, however, so if my schedule shows I am unavailable, please reach out anyway as I try to be as flexible as possible! It is extremely important to me to use Fear Free tactics when interacting with any animal. Gaining the trust of you and your pet are my top priority!
