“Heidi is absolutely amazing. She took care of my kitties for about 5 days and played with them all the time. My kitties accidentally messed up (surprise right) the bathtub and the carpet and she helped me clean them up right away! You can tell she is truly caring.”
“I booked Faith for two 30 minute drop-ins while away from home and she would feed, pet, and do litterbox maintenance within an average 20-21 minutes. Thank you for caring for my pretty kitty Luna in my absence! (:”
“Alicia was very attentive to the needs of our dog and two cats. She kept us updated on all their antics and mischief over the week we were gone. We recommend her and would hire her again!”
“Macy visited us to meet our dog Cookie before an upcoming long weekend stay. She was on time and interested in finding out Cookie’s needs. Looking forward to future visits”
“David was great with Roxy. She looked forward to his visit each day and we were able to relax knowing she was in good hands. The pictures during his visits reassured us that she was well cared for. We are planning to use David to care for Roxy in the future.”
“Holly was so great with Finnegan, our cat. She came to the house for a couple of days and sent me updates of each interaction! I am really appreciative of her coming to our place, even though it wasn’t necessarily that close. I could see Finn being extremely comfortable and happy around her, so that gave me a lot of peace of mind. Thanks so much for everything!”
“Mabray is really good with our needy cats. She took initiative to create fun playtime for our cats and made sure they are well taken care of. I will definitely book her again for kur next trip”
“Joey & Sydney are flexible and leave detailed descriptions of each visit. I feel confident that my cats' physical and social needs are being taken care of when Joey & Sydney are watching them, even my shy cat will meet them at the door from time to time. I highly recommend booking with them!”
“Danielle was great with my two cats! They loved having her come over and play and just hang out and cuddle. She also came to meet the cats and see how everything was laid out in the house. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have two friendly cats and backyard chickens. I have had cats and dogs for most of my life. I go trail hiking at local forest preserves and state parks 2-4 times a week and would love to take your dog with me! I only have one dog guest at a time (unless they are from the same home) so I can give them lots of care and attention and provide you with regular updates and photos. You will know your pet is being well looked after. My goal is to make your pet feel like it is on a fun vacation while you are on a fun vacation. Nothing makes me happier than dogs I've cared before, coming back and pulling on their leash to come into my house on their next visit! I only work half-time so I have plenty of time for pets. I know how important your pet is to you and I'm very responsible. My dog guests are walked at least three times a day including a walk or hike of 30 minutes or longer. They are also able to use my fenced in backyard when the chickens are locked up for the night .
“Bailey has given us much needed peace of mind after a terrible experience with another sitter. She's reliable, consistent, and all of our animals are very fond of her- even the cranky cat who doesn't usually like strangers. We're lucky to have found her and thankful to have her caring for our crew.”
