They have a well-maintained backyard that Snow can play and run around. Rico loves hanging out with our pet and takes extra time to show some love and cuddles. We highly recommend him.”
“Ian took great care of our senior pup, Rocky. He took very detailed notes ahead of Rocky’s stay and lots of feedback following his overnight. Ian communicated with us regularly, and responded to questions very quickly, both before and during Rocky’s stay. We plan to have Rocky stay with Ian again very soon.”

Her dog Isla and Jasper got along so well and Susan even sent us video and photo updates as requested. When we return for another visit with Jasper in October Jasper was so excited, he knew exactly where he was and was ready for some more time with his friends. We highly recommend Susan as a care taker as she is kind, responsive and her love for dogs is just wonderful. Thank you so much Susan and looking forward to the next time”

“Tali is the ultimate cat sitter! My cat is timid and hides from most people. Talk was able to earn his trust and give him oral medication every day. He can be difficult to pull but she was able to successfully do it each day without causing him undue stress. Her notes are detailed and I loved all the daily photos. I never worried about my cat’s care and I would choose her again in a heartbeat!”
“Kayla is a top-tier cat sitter! She has taken care of our cats on three occasions. She provides detailed summaries and pictures from each visit. She takes the time to understand what each cat needs, and will provide interactive play, petting, and/or reassurance from a distance, to match the cat vibes at the time. She's great with both our friendly, playful cat and our shy, somewhat territorial cat. During our most resent booking, Kayla went above and beyond to help when our smoke detector was beeping and scaring one of our cats into a hiding place I'd never seen her get into before. It was a relief to know it was taken care of and the cats wouldn't have to suffer with the scary beeping for the rest of our trip. You can trust Kayla to keep your cats content while you're away.”
“Bao was so great to my two kitties! She fed, played with, and pet them and sent some great pictures. She asked questions when she needed to and even helped fix my smoke alarm when it was acting up and scaring the cats. Thanks so much Bao!”
“Emma was absolutely wonderful to work with and took amazing care of our girls! This was the longest we’d ever been away from them, and we were a little nervous. Her thoughtful updates and attentive care put us completely at ease. We’ll definitely have her back again in the future!”
“Dana was great with our cat while we were away- our cat can be very aggressive and fearful towards strangers, and dana braved it out and made sure she was well cared for. I am so grateful and would definitely book with her again!”
“Jessie took such great care of my senior cat!! She went above and beyond to clean up so well after Cali and give her lots of love and snuggles during her check-ins. Can’t thank her enough!”
“Tabitha is fantastic! Super caring and communicative and I could tell my cat was in great hands while I was gone. She took a bunch of pictures / videos and even dealt with some food / litter last minute issues that came up with no problem. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals. 10/10 would recommend Tabitha for your pet care needs”
“Dylan was super friendly and communicative. I felt super comfortable leaving my kitty in his hands this weekend - you can tell that he really loves animals! Would happily recommend him to anyone”
“Nicolle has cared for my cat on two occasions and has done a great job. She sends pictures and tells me about each visit. She keeps me well informed and I like that. She was very accommodating when I had to change the dates of her visits.”
“Cierra was fantastic with my cat who isn't accustomed to me being gone. She took excellent care to give her the right meds at the right time and provided super helpful updates after every visit. Will definitely book again!”
“Jamie took excellent care of our kitties! He was dependable, considerate, and very easy to communicate with. We will definitely see if he’s available next time we go out of town!”
About: I have 2 cats of my own and have years of experience fostering cats and helping to care for other’s cats. I love getting to know your cat and their unique personality, and providing them with safe and enriching care.
“I highly recommend Megan! She took excellent care of our cat while we were away and was great about everything - attentive to our pet, a great communicator, provided detailed notes and photos, and left everything in perfect order. Very grateful for her high quality care!”
“Angelique was amazing! She was prompt and always sent plenty of pictures so I knew how my girls were doing. My cats are usually shy with new people when I’m gone, and they even came out to visit when she was here. I would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
“Haley is the best! Our cat loves her. Shes super reliable and even stays a little extra time with him. We really appreciate her and how available she was for us over thanksgiving :)”
About: Please read all the way through ☺️ Hi there! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and truly adore them. I currently have a playful little pup who loves having friends around, and we live just steps away from a great dog park! We’re out for walks at least three times a day, and your pup would be so loved and well cared for here. I also have two gentle, dog-loving teens who add even more love to the mix. I prefer smaller dogs since I’m on the petite side myself, and working from home means I can give your pup lots of attention and flexibility with your schedule. I’m happy to follow any training routines you’re working on and would love to help however I can. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home. 🐶💛 A few small notes: • Pick-ups over 30 mins late: +$5 (every additional 30 mins = +$5) • Forgot food or pee pads? Just $5/day Can’t wait to meet your sweet fur baby! ✨🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, and love throughout the day. I take my own pup out for walks at least three times a day, and trips to the nearby dog park are part of our regular routine. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just cuddles, I genuinely enjoy making sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved—just like family. 🐾💛 In my home, I care for pets like they’re part of the family. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved from the moment they arrive. I keep a calm, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles. I follow each owner’s specific instructions—whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, following training routines, or keeping their pup on leash-only walks. I also check in with updates and photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is in good hands. 💛🐾

“Rebecca provided wonderful care for my pup Kinga. I felt very comfortable leaving Kinga with Rebecca and appreciated the updates she sent. I would definitely recommend her.”
“2nd daycare stay and it went great! Our guy was fearful at first but relaxed enough to allow Joerg to pick him up (which is a big deal), plus he got friendly with their dog Lizzie. Really appreciate Joerg & Lake openness to working with us on his anxiety response.”
“Crystal has watched our golden doodle a couple times already. She’s been incredibly flexible and sweet. Her relaxed nature seems to rub off on our energetic pup. Would highly recommend!”
“Robert was amazing watching my dog for the day. He took her on a long walk and she instantly was comfortable with him. He was also flexible when I was a little later to pick her up than expected - thank you Robert!”
“Michaela was very attentive to our puppy blue. Sent us pictures and updates all day. She took our request last minute and we are very grateful. Seems like blue had a great time.”
“Brad is great - my dog is nervous around everyone yet she acts like she’s known him her whole life. I particularly like that he sends pics of the two of them lounging together!”
About: I come from a family where our dog was as much a member of the family as anyone. My husband, two kids and I live in a single-family home with lots of room and fenced front and back yards. My husband works from home and I work hybrid, so one or all of us are always home. My husband and I have been dog sitting for many years, with great reviews. We took a break while we grew our family, and while our children were very young. Now the kids are requesting a pet, and we think dog sitting is the perfect segue to possibly adopting a dog of our own. We love the outdoors and enjoy walks in the neighborhood and along the nearby lakefront. Your pet will feel like they've had a fantastic vacation of their own and we promise to share lots of photos! My husband works from home and I work hybrid-we're always here! We have two kids who love animals and are eager to prove their dog care abilities. We have lots of room, three stories, fenced front and back yards. Our home is already kid-proofed, so it is safe for your baby as well.
“John & Ryan took wonderful care of my dog Newton! They sent a cute photo update and were very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would highly recommend!”
About: I am a first time dog owner however I hired an experienced trainer to help me train my dog since he was a puppy. He is now my service dog in training. I enjoy playing with him and teaching him new skills too. I live in a studio apartment, but I consider it a bigger studio since I do have a living room and bedroom space since it’s all open. I do refer hypoallergenic pets as I am allergic, but I am willing to help out if I can! I am home all the time, so I would be able to take your pup to the park or on long walks. I’d love to have an extra fur baby in my home. I have a fenced yard and a fur baby that is social and very friendly with other dogs. I can help continue any training the client may be implementing.
“Sky provided top notch care for Groot! Several picture updates and cute memes of them gave me confidence in her quality care giving skills. It helps that Groot came home super tired from all of their playtime! Will book again!”
“Susan was wonderful! She was very caring with our little elder dog. Communication was great and we were happy to receive a photo of our dog having a comfortable stay with Susan. We appreciate you, Susan!”
About: I have had a family dog my whole life. I was raised with a Golden Retriever and then had twos Daschunds. I now have my own dog that I rescued last year. She is a German Shepherd/ Great Pyrenees Mix. She is the sweetest thing in the world but she has a lot of anxiety. She is in every single way the perfect dog. She loves other dogs and is very friendly to them. I provide house sitting, dog boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Please note that all services provided at my house my dog would be present. My partner and I have a huge apartment with multiple rooms for all your dog's needs, and a fenced in back yard. I plan to take care of your dog just like I take care of mine. So no matter how big or small or how much anxiety they may have I am the one for the job. i'm currently going to school and run my own business. I have plenty of time to take your dog and my dog on a walk. Play with them and give the cuddles. and my partner is here to help as well. i have a fenced in yard and a big dog to keep your dog company. Three bedroom apartment for the dogs to run around. Plenty of space.

“Mariah is fantastic! Penny is a very picky dog (we tried 3 different walkers before Mariah and they didn't jive well with her) but Penny loves Mariah and took to her immediately! She is thoughtful and her communication skills are fantastic - she always communicates her concerns with me and is always quick to respond! We definitely plan to use her as long as possible!”
“Kiefer did a fantastic job with my dog and fit so much activity into just a half hour walk session. My pup was very tired out which is exactly what I wanted. I got a great report card at the end and plenty of photos documenting the excursion! Will happily book again!”
“Darisbeth is an amazing dog walker ! She’s been such an angel with Lexi Lu. My schedule can be a bit tricky and Darisbeth has been super accommodating. Her communication and responsiveness are always timely and she makes sure to keep me updated during walks. I completely trust her with my baby girl !”
“Second time booking Koemi. She was absolutely wonderful. I have no worries of our dog being left home alone when she’s looking after him. He absolutely adores his time with her.”
“Samantha has been regularly walking Oakley and Basil for a half year now and we are so grateful for her. She treats them as if they are her own and is incredibly communicative. We’d recommend to Samantha to anyone looking for reliable care for their pets.”
“Vanessa was very thorough and attentive. She was quick to respond and arranged a meet and greet despite a short notice request. Nellie very quickly warmed up to Vanessa and definitely enjoyed her walks! Would highly recommend!!”
“Jena is great. She handled our dog Darby in such an expert and gentle way. Darby clearly felt comfortable with her. She inspired confidence and communicated well. We will definitely wish to have her walk Darby again.”
“Gaby was amazing walking my dog Oatley! She sent me lots of photos and kept me updated. She followed directions and was very respectful of my home! Will absolutely be using her as a reliable sitter for my German shepherd.”
“Madeline is an excellent dog walker who took excellent care of our 15-year-old 50lb senior pup, which our pup can be stubborn at times! Our dog looked so happy to go on walks and receive friendly attention from Madeline while we were away. It was so nice to receive daily updates on scheduling and visitation reports. I would not hesitate to hire Madeline again! Thank you!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Courtney. She has been walking my golden retriever, Walter, for the past couple of weeks, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Walter is truly my child, so I’m very particular about who I trust to care for him. Courtney immediately put me at ease. She is dependable, always on time, and—most importantly—it’s obvious that she genuinely cares about Walter. Finding someone you completely trust with your dog isn’t easy, and having Courtney take care of Walter gives me real peace of mind. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy. Walter and I are both very happy we found her!”
“Mikayla has been wonderful with my pittie. She started regularly walking him and things could not be going better. My pittie can be a handful as he is sassy and does not like other animals, especially dogs, but Mikayla has handled him well! Will definitely continue to use Mikayla!”
About: Dogs with extra needs are my favorite. I love staying with and comforting a dog who is really going to miss you. I’m perfect for dogs who need mediation or a little extra sensitiviy because of a condition. I’m an active person so I’m ready to play a lot of tug-of-war or taking them on run, if that’s what they like. I’ll be a really happy if they just love cuddling too. I’ve grown up with four dogs of my own my whole life. I studied animal behavior and have supported cats and dogs with complex health conditions needing medication, physical therapy, injections, and mobility support (doggie wheelchairs) I’m happy to have extended stays for those long trips. I’ll water plants at needed, get your packages, and I always make sure your apartment and pupper is clean and comfy when you get back! I’ve volunteered at the Anti Cruelty and Paws for 10 years. I am the go to sitter for all my friend’s animals; dogs, cats, birds, reptiles. I am great at following Pet Parents protocols and keeping an eye on your pet’s behavior to find out what they need from me each visit. I have a flexible work from home schedule so I am available after 7am until 9pm for walks and drop in visits. Available 7 days a week. I always follow the instructions Pet Parents give me and follow common sense safety guidelines. Open doors slowly and at a minimum until I know where your pets are. Always a secure and safely fitting leash, vest, collar. Refreshing food and water as instructed. Keeping an eye in the house for accidents or odd behavior to message to the Pet Parent and take care of the need.

You can tell he genuinely cares and takes this seriously. We felt at ease, everything was smooth and easy, and we really appreciated the updates. We’ll definitely be booking him to walk June again!”
“Maeve is always great to work with. She responds quickly to our requests and is flexible when we have to change our plans. She takes great care of our animals and our house. We will continue to use her services!”

Sophie was great with Penny who can be a little shy with new humans.

Her apartment was well set-up to accommodate Penny as well. We would not hesitate to book with Sophie again should the need arise.”

“This is the second time Pizca stayed with Coni and everything went great! In fact, Pizca was a little difficult and ate everything she could find on her way, and Coni handled the situation beautifully. Even with Pizca getting sick twice, I was really comfortable and Coni could have not handled the situation any better than I would have. A huge thanks (and Pizca will definitely see you again)”

Appreciated her care and will book again when my parents are in town and need a sitter!”
“Jeff and Ron took care of our standard, 4 1/2 year old Bernedoodle. It was our first time leaving her and we were cautious in who we chose to care for her. Jeff. And Ron lived up to their highly rated reviews! We set up a meet and greet and also decided to have our pup spend a day with them before leaving on our 4 day getaway. Jeff’s friendly demeanor with us and our pup put our minds at ease. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands!”
