The updates and photos you sent were so reassuring. Thanks again for going above and beyond! Will definitely take Cody back on our next vacation😊”

About: Although I am only 19, I have had pets for as long as I can remember. My family and I have a total of 6 pets- 3 dogs and 3 cats! We have fostered and adopted our fair share of animals, all with different stories! One of our dogs is an amish labor rescue, one of my cats is blind, and another only has 3 legs!! While all of our pets now come from a different and difficult situation, it has been a reward and privilege to love and take care of them. I am familiar with hyper and untrained dogs as we have had 2 since they were puppies and they still are a bit crazy to this day! I am currently job searching so I can’t say what my availability will be like for the future but as for now I have no other commitments and am available whenever!! I am a very detail oriented person and realize that each animal has their own unique personality and routines. I am always open to learning about your fur babies and what they like or dislike. I love that each pet has their own quirks and I love being able to form relationships built on trust and respect!!

It was our first time to be away during the night without the dogs and they were perfectly fine with Liz making several stops throughout the day. We will definitely ask for Liz to care for our dogs in the future. She’s very good about communicating and prompt with all the requested visits. I highly recommend Liz. She is so nice and professional.”
“Isabella did a great job caring for my two boys while I was away for a few days. She checked in daily with updates and adorable pictures - it was clear my babies took to her immediately which gave me such peace of mind.

“Extremely happy with Christine. This is the first time I've had a drop in visit for my pets in 10 years. Christine reassured me and even came to visit my fur babies before. She brought an ease and I felt complete trust that they were in good hands. I was given many updates every visit and pictures. She was thoughtful and always on time. My pets were very comfortable with her. Which made my trip less stressful. I would definitely recommend Christine and I will happily recommend her and have her back again in the future.”

Even though my trip was cut short, she followed all my instructions perfectly and made sure Mochi was well cared for. She sent me photos and status updates after each visit, which I really appreciated. It was reassuring to know everything was going smoothly. Even with the change in plans, Lindsey remained flexible and professional throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter.”

She was great at keeping me updated, sent me consistent updates, photos and videos.

About: Together, Julian and I have a long history of taking care of pets. I've taken care of dogs (of all sizes) since I was very young, as well as Cats. My family has always owned large breeds (Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Great Pyrenees', etc.) but also have experience with medium/small dogs. Julians family has also had dogs his whole life, and he has played a care-taker role both for his parents dogs and for our 2 Chihuahua mix dogs named Theo & Honey. Julian and I both have experience with dog walking, and giving medication as well. My childhood Golden Retriever had several health issues in the past (allergies, skin issues, special diet, etc.) so I have been used to giving many different kinds of medications for many years.

“Swagata was absolutely amazing in accommodating a last-minute request. I reached out to her late at night due to an urgent appointment the following morning, and she graciously accepted without hesitation. I already knew Tommy was in good hands since he had a great experience with her previously. Throughout the time, Swagata kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. Her warmth and attentiveness truly show how much she cares for pets. Tommy was happy and relaxed, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care. I’ll definitely be revisiting!”
About: I grew up with a dog and loved him very much. He passed away, and the family has not yet gotten another, but I miss caring for a dog. I love all dogs and cats of any size and any animal, for that matter. I am incredibly attentive to animals and always love giving them care, even when they are not mine. I am almost always home and able to pet sit through the day and overnight. I am currently in college, but taking classes online, so I am constantly available to tend to your pet's needs. I am a very active person who can take your pet on walks or runs more than once each day if need be. If your pet enjoys resting, I will also do it with them as I complete work on my computer and will pay close attention to them or snuggle with them if it's what they like. I will care for each pet depending on their specific needs, whether they need to have walks, use the bathroom often, or receive personal care. My home is very safe for pets, as it was already set up for a dog in the past with carpeted stairs and a yard to play in. The yard has a fence around part of it, but it is still open, so if I take your pet outside to play, I will use a leash and keep them in the yard safely separated from any danger. The only other person living in the home will be my mother, who is also an animal lover, but is generally at work during weekdays.

“Keira was such a blessing for us! She walked our dog Bernard and was so easy to communicate with! She posted pictures of what he did on the walk and he loved her right away! I would definitely recommend Keira!”
“Isabella is the only person I would trust with my fur baby! You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and is so kind and helpful! My pup tends to be on wild side and has really poor leash manners. She is so patient with him and teaches him to walk nicely. I could not recommend her enough! Such an amazing person!”
About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.
“Great experience for my puppy learning to be left alone during the day! Faith kept our training habits going and was even conscientious about checking her water before leaving. So grateful to have someone helping our little family out!”
About: Although I am only 19, I have had pets for as long as I can remember. My family and I have a total of 6 pets- 3 dogs and 3 cats!

About: I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 12 years through shelters, rescue organizations, fostering, and TNR work. I’ve cared for everything from neonatal kittens to senior and special-needs animals, including medication administration and post-op recovery care. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with animals that may be nervous, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my current work schedule, I’m available early mornings (5–6 AM) before work, again around noon, and throughout the evening. I make pets a top priority and can also provide late-evening check-ins to help pets settle in comfortably for the night. Based on your pet’s normal routine and comfort level, I can accommodate leash walks, supervised backyard time, or longer walks and exercise as needed.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.
About: My lifelong love for dogs means I've been caring for them since I was a kid. I'm experienced with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. Caring for pets involves daily walks for dogs, consistent feeding schedules, regular litter box cleaning, dedicated playtime, routine grooming, and vigilant health checks to ensure they remain happy and healthy. Whether in my home or a client's, I ensure pets have safe spaces, consistent routines, and plenty of attention, while closely following the owner's instructions. In a client's home, I follow their instructions for feeding, medication, exercise, and cleaning, while providing updates and ensuring their pet's comfort and safety.

I always pay attention to detail, making sure doors are secure, gates are latched, and your pet can explore safely. Whether we’re out for a sunny walk or just lounging at home, I’m watching for every tail wag, ear perk, or sign that your pet needs something. With experience caring for both mellow seniors and energetic pups, I’m flexible and patient, ready to adapt to whatever makes your pet happiest. Your pet will always be treated like family! :)

About: Hi! I’ve cared for pets for years through feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I strive to provide reliable, attentive care through walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise safely. I also have young children in the home who have been taught to be gentle and respectful around animals, helping create a loving, family-friendly environment for pets in my care.
About: Hello! I’m currently a pre-vet major looking to take care of some furry friends :) I recently completed a NAVTA approved Veterinary Assistant Training course where I received exposure to medical and clinical experience. Im an active person who loves being outside. Long walks are no problem for me if you have a super active and outgoing dog ! Making sure your pets are comfortable and safe is my number one priority. I’m able to be flexible based on the pet’s needs and wants.
“Liliana was a lifesaver and my dog’s new best friend! I could tell from the moment I met her she has a place in her heart for animals. She is very responsible and trustworthy, and would respond quickly both while on the walk and before or after. We hope she’ll come back to see our Ragnar again!”
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of animals of all types for most of my life. I’m always the person everyone in my life comes to first to take care of their dogs/cats/birds/etc. when they’re leaving town, or just want someone to check in on the animals. I’ve always loved dogs and used to volunteer every weekend at shelters helping to take care of the dogs there. Reach out and I’d love to answer any questions you have! My schedule is very flexible right now, so it’s easy for me to be able to drop in to check on your animals. I can usually make it out to your home within a few hours. I won’t be boarding animals in my own home, as I live in an apartment with two of my own cats, however I am always the first to think about safety in your home. Animals will always be leashed outside and if dogs are at all reactive we won’t be walking too near any other people/dogs. If you have specific concerns just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate!

“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”
“Jennifer was great and we will certainly use her again. She communicates regularly and really loves our dogs. This is the first time we used an app to find someone to take care of our pups. It will not be the last. If I could give more than five stars, I would!”
“Dee was amazing! She honestly loves dogs and treated ours as her own while we were away. She sent a steady stream of updates and pictures to keep us in the loop and our dogs and our happiness was her first priority. 11/10, she's an angel and I'd happily have our dog sit with her again.”
“Veronique took so great care of our Lola, we will definitely want Lola (Boxer Bosten Mix) have Lola in her care again in the future! We received updates woth little clips and pictures as well infos to her dog friends.”
About: Hello pet parents! Are you looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter? Look no further! My name is Isabelle and I am passionate about providing exceptional care for your furry friends. Whether you need occasional daytime sitting or overnight stays, I am here to ensure your dog is happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. I’m a SAHM with 2 fur kiddos of my own, so my house is pretty much dog proof. My toddler and I walk our pups twice a day, and when our senior dogs knee starts bothering him we have a doggie backpack we use to ensure he can feel included in the walks. I have a fully fenced back yard for potty breaks. I live within a 15 minute walking distance to a park and can provide your fur kiddo with walks if permitted. I understand the importance of trusting someone with your kiddo and am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment.
“Keira & her boyfriend were so sweet to my dog. She loved staying with them & was so tired when she got home. They sent me so many photos & updates. Would definitely recommend & rebook!”
“Heather is wonderful & took great care of Scout. She was really responsive and sent multiple updates. Scout enjoyed his time with her & her family & is looking forward to his next stay.”
“Chisato treated Casper and Gracie like they were members of her own family. She constantly kept us in the loop of their daily goings on with many pictures and movies! Casper and Gracie were having such a good time, I don't think they wanted to come home.😊”
“I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer! She took wonderful care of my dog, treating them like family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby, but Jennifer went above and beyond. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Mabel just loves Norm and Mary. She was able to get tons of exercise. As we live in the UP and still haves tons of snow. Thank you so very much for taking such great care of Mabel.”
“Ryan did a good job of taking care of our dog for a few days. He was a life saver as we needed to board last minute. After reaching out to Ryan he had some questions and concerns, but we ironed them out swiftly. Later that day our dog was at Ryan's. No issues, no worries, and we were able to enjoy our quick trip abroad. We look forward to reaching out to Ryan for our next boarding need, knowing we can leave worry free and our dog in good hands.”
“We had such a fantastic experience with Sunshine. She took such good care of our dog, Mac. She sent me photos every day and I knew he was well loved and taken care of. I definitely would recommend Sunshine and family ( her kiddos were great with him, too!) to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. I will assuredly be booking again!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Open & easy communication. My dog that is very hesitant of new people went up to Norma automatically and on her own. Norma followed my instructions for medication & being leashed. She eased my anxiety greatly for what I’d consider a worrisome dog (she is a runner) will be using again for our next trip. Thank you Norma!”
“Christy communicated really well. I had a family emergency at the end of Kali's stay and needed to extend her stay. Christy accommodated and wished us well. She even let me pick up Kali for a "sleep over one night since I was going through Kali withdrawal. It meant she had to get up an hour early the next day so I could drop her off again on my way back to the hospital. AMAZING team her and her daughters.”
“Absolutely lovely working with Angela on taking care of our pup, Izzy. She was super helpful in meeting before our first time leaving Izzy with her and giving her time to get used to her place and other dogs. Butterscotch and Lucky are super sweet and I think Izzy really loved having some buddies to spend time with! Would definitely recommend.”
“I highly recommend Rusty. Benny stayed with him while I was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. He sent me pictures and updates every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I was especially nervous because Benny has a history of resource guarding, but he handled him very well and everything went smoothly. Benny was well cared for, safe, and happy during his stay. I would def trust him to watch Benny again.”
