“Jacqueline was amazing! From making me feel welcomed right from the first message to going above and beyond with communication, photos, updates and flexibity. 11/10 would recommend, if you care about your furry friend, with Jacqueline you can rest assured they are in safe hands :)”
“Lottie took such great care of our pup Josie and we are so so grateful! She was so sweet, had amazing communication, was so accommodating and we’d absolutely recommend her to anyone!!”
“Mark and his family were amazing with our dog! It was the first time we'd ever left him with anyone else, so we were a bit nervous when we dropped him off. Mark sent photos throughout the weekend letting us know how Griffin was doing, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to take good care of our good boy.”
“Angela was very nice and her dog was the sweetest doggy. Both of them greeted our Jessie as long lost relative, made him feel welcome. Our old dog was happy, had good time staying with them. We got updates with pictures. Angela even baked some yummy doggy treats and sent Jessie home with a goody.”
“Cassandra was so great! She updated me just the right amount. My pup was well taken care of, and I had peace of mind the whole time I was gone. If I’m ever in the area again and need a sitter, I know who I’m contacting!”
“I'm so happy Mya is the sitter I chose. Her back yard is a PUPPY PARADISE... I'm used to apartment living and having to leash walk Luci several times a day. But at Mya's house, Luci can run around in a big secure fenced-in yard with lush grass. It was like a real vacation for her. Mya has cameras on her phone so she can watch the dogs when she's away from the house. She is so chill and welcoming. I brought up my dog's behavioral issues, and she really took the time during the initial meeting to make sure her 4 pups and mine were going to get along OK, and to answer any questions I might have. Her small dogs are very sweet, and Luci made fast friends with them. I got updates with photos and video every day. Overall it was an amazing experience, and I hope we get to make this a more regular thing. Would rate 6 stars if I could.”
“I can't say enough great things about Ruth! She took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we went on vacation for a week. She provided them with snuggles, walks, and social time and provided us with peace of mind so we could relax. She sent us a few pictures and even some videos! I highly recommend Ruth and we look forward to seeing her again in the future!”

“Nicole cared for our dog, Cooper, during a long weekend. She was flexible with drop off and pickup arrangements and accommodating of our dog's dietary requirements. It was a very positive experience overall. We will definitely consider Nicole again for dog sitting.”
“Tammy and her family were amazing! Eli loved running around in the big fenced yard and playing with Ranger. He felt right at home and was napping on the couch in no time. We enjoyed getting updates when we were away and felt confident that Eli was in good hands. Very experienced family of pet sitters. Would recommend and hope they are available again to watch Eli.”
“Was great communication, super friendly, easy to talk to, sent multiple pictures, and the dogs seem to really enjoy their time there. Plan on using her again in the future if available”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.
“Our dog Luna loved staying with Flor! They kept us updated with how she was doing with fun photos and videos. They took her on walks and out to play at the dog park. Our Luna also loved their sweet dog and kitten. 😊❤️❤️”
About: I have recently started dog sitting in my home. I have helped friends and now opening my home to more furry companions to help your family. I am a teacher in Dubuque and have the summers off.

I am willing to accommodate any of your family requests for your pet including giving medication, daily walks, play time, and special attention.

“Amazing! Linda is everything you could ask for in a kitty sitter and more - her updates and photos gave my husband and I peace of mind while we were out of town. You can tell she really cares for animals. She was prompt to respond to any messages and did a fabulous job - would definitely recommend 😸🥰”
“HIRE CHRIS. I won the lottery with him. It was my first time using Rover. I have a special needs rabbit who needed a caretaker after a rabbit boarding service was no longer available. I messaged several sitters and Chris was the first to respond. He is responsive and communicative. What I absolutely love about Chris, among many things, is that he asks questions. Not in a "what do I do" kind of way. Rather, "how do I do this to make sure it's done correctly". My special needs rabbit is on a specialized diet. I left Chris with instructions, which he followed to a tee, but he also sent a photo of the food. (My rabbit is feed very soft, watered down pellets and Critical Care due to recent dental surgery). I'm happy that he did because my rabbit can't chew on pellets. He sent lots of photos of Moo, too. Chris was also flexible with the initial meet 'n' greet appointment and visiting my landlord's office to pick up my front door key (which has to be loaned out). One of the reasons I chose Chris was his close proximity to my apartment. I will 5000% hire Chris again for my rabbit sitting needs. He took great care of my very special needs rabbit and Moo liked him too! I recommend him for your pet sitting needs, including small mammals!”
About: I started pet sitting in 2007 and have pet sat consistently ever since. I have experience with lots of different types of animals and plenty of experience with kitties of all ages. I am able to give cats pills, liquid medication, injections and IV fluids.
“Nora is great! I always know my Finley will get such good attention. He loves belly rubs and treats of carrots and she always makes sure he gets these! i want to wish her a very Merry Christmas.”
“Samantha is AMAZING! She was so good with our high maintenance kitty and followed all of our directions. She even searched all of her hiding spots so she could check on her and send us a pic. Would recommend!!”
“Jessica was Awesome! She is courteous, kind, sweet and her love for animals shines through. We will be hiring her many times in the future. Thanks Jessica, Mickey loves you 🥰”
“Excellent communication and Kimberly did a great job with all of my requested items. Thank you for making my vacation less stressful! I will definitely use Kimberly again!”

About: I have always had pets. Whether fish, cats, dogs, small birds. They are part of my family! I’m devoted! And have even resuscitated a gold fish! I work part time during the week watching my grandkids but otherwise have no obligations except to care for your fur babies and ensure your peace 😉 I will ask for instructions and follow them to ensure your pets routine and comfort is foremost beyond keeping doors shut for security. I will not use or bring other pets or materials into your home that would compromise your pets peace and safety. My children are now adults with lives of their own. So I have plenty of time for your fur babies. So, no worries. When I’m caring for your fur-baby, I will always consider your pets safety and well-being first. I understand that little dogs can be fragile. :-) I prefer to care for your pets in your home if possible. Otherwise they must be socialized and okay with my cat. My home is small but I have a yard and lots of walking available - Cats are usually drop-ins at Your home, but if in mine; because I have cats (friendly), I wiIl always see/hear them and be well-looked after. :-)
“When Taylor and I met at our meet and greet, I knew that we would like her. She did a wonderful job with my dog Buckley and it didn't take long for Buckley calm down and play with his new friends. He really enjoyed being there. I strongly recommend Taylor and I will be taking Buckley there again and again. . Thank you Taylor and we will see you soon. Judy Collins”
About: Hi! I am an owner of a smart, service, doodle named Brody. I love all animal & have cared for many dog breeds and ages. I am currently working from home and have plenty of spare time. I am available weekdays/weekends & overnights to care for your furry friend 🐾 We live in a great, peaceful neighborhood with plenty of backyard space for your pup to exercise, play & have plenty of potty breaks. I have undivided love for animals and believe they deserve the best care. I have a young boy that love dogs. Our home is very pet friendly. If your pup likes to relax on the sofa, sprawl out on the floor or snuggle in bed it's all 100% acceptable!
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a young child & doggos have always been a special part of my life! They become important family members who give & get the unconditional love we all deserve! It’s hard some times when life takes us away from home & our doggies for longer than we’d like. Exactly the reason I would be the perfect person to love, snuggle, take care of & give your dogs the attention they want and need while you’re away or busy! puppers will always be able to depend on seeing my kind face and caring hand at times like these. Just as they support our emotional needs on a daily basis, I have come to love returning the small favor for them! I am home full time & dedicate my day to taking care of my kids, my doggo, my 2 docile kittens & my household. My time is not limited. My kids and I love to take walks with the dog, go to local dog parks occasionally when they are empty & clean, & play fetch in our large, clean yard!
“Easy fast scheduling and fast responses! I would definitely recommend this family for anyone in Dubuque area !! Thank you so much for watching my baby while attending my brothers college graduation!”
About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.
“Mya was great! She helped out fairly last minute dog sitting while we had movers at our house. Ollie had a great time playing with the other dogs, but was given some indoor puppy naptime/snuggle time too. She sent photo updates throughout the day. Highly recommended.”

About: I have been an independent pet sitter for 18 plus years. I have plenty of experience with cats, dogs and other small critters. I have been very passionate in my love of animals for many years and all of my pets mean the world to me. I have spent time volunteering in shelters for pet care as we as medical care and have spent time working as a vet assistant as well. While working in the vet office I learned how to medicate cats as well as how to give subcutaneous fluids. I have worked in various animal related fields for over a decade including vet offices, shelters, grooming facilities, pet stores and pet sitting. All animals are fascinating to me and I enjoy learning about the different types of care they all need. I live in Galena IL and am willing to cover all surrounding areas 😸 Pet sitting is my main job and my schedule is currently open. I'm looking to build my local client base and earn your trust :) I will care for pets in the clients own home. I will follow the care instructions provided for each pet. During overnight visits I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.
