“Otis has many special needs, and she cared for him like he was part of the family. Barbora went above and beyond, was very accommodating, and sent updates and pictures to keep me informed. It was such a relief knowing Otis was loved and so well cared for.”
“Thank you so much to Tammy and her husband for taking in our pups and taking great care of them while we were out of town. Tammy was always responsive, and both dogs had a great time and clearly felt comfortable. Tammy has a great fenced yard with ducks and geese in a pond right behind her that the dogs love to watch. We will definitely ask Tammy to sit our pups again in the future.”
“Kelly was nice, accomdating, and put me at ease. She sent me updates and photos a few times a day, that we always look forward to. It was nice to do a meet and greet before hand so my dogs are comfortable going back there. Her whole family treated my dogs like their own. We will definitely be using Kelly in the future.”
“Shannon was very kind. She really was patient with my elderly dog. She was also sitting another pup who kept my fur baby company. She sent me pictures daily. I really appreciate that. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Christina was amazing! Rosie had so much fun during her stay and enjoyed playing with all of the dogs! She came home and passed out which means she enjoyed herself to the fullest.”
“This was my first time leaving Lou with a babysitter and I was nervous. Sarah made me and my girl both feel very comfortable at drop off. I received pictures while I was out of town so that I could see how well she was doing. Sarah was very attentive to Lou’s needs as an elderly dog with anxiety. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my baby.”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“We’ve used Cynthia several times and have been very pleased. Winston goes on walks, lounges around the house or fenced in yard, enjoys the company of Cynthia’s pets and is well-taken care of. Cynthia keeps me updated with photos/texts. She’s easy to schedule with and obviously cares for animals. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole did an amazing job at taking care of my 2 Elkhounds. She is very experienced and completely understood the situation with my male wanting to mark his territory. She kept me in the loop on how they were doing and let me know how she planned on handling situations. Nicole was very understanding when my return flight was canceled and I would be a few hours later than planned in picking them up. I definitely recommend Nicole.”
“Ashley is amazing. I had a last minute sitting job and she took my boys no fuss. They are always so happy when I get them.. Me and my husband will continue to be regulars of hers!!!!”
“Stacie took great care of our dog while we were away! She was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and pictures that helped ease my dog mama worry. Thank you so much, Stacie!”
“What a great experience. Eboni provided updates and a ton of pictures to let me know how my Serena was doing while we we apart. I didn't have a worry in the world when I saw the smiles she had on her face and her playing with the other dogs in the big backyard. If you need a dog sitter, Ebony is the best.”
“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”
About: I've cared for a range of animals including cats and dog since I was in middle school. Provided detailed instructions I can snd have cared for disabled pets. I understand a pet is more than animal they're family. Pet care is my only form of employment while going through college. So I am available most often. Expect school hours which I will provide Without extra charge if pet sitting a whole 24 hrs or more I will do general cleaning and upkeep of the house such as dishes, floors, and trash. I always pick up after myself and your pet of course.
About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.
“Highly recommend using Tami to care for your pet! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone for the first time but she made me feel at ease and took great care of my dog! She sent me pictures and texts to ensure me my dog was doing great!”

I am an experienced dog walker & have also cared for dogs, ranging from small to large breeds, for the last couple of years.

“If you’re looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, Keri is it. She watched my pup recently and absolutely knocked it out of the park. When my flight got canceled last minute, Keri didn’t even blink—she just handled it. She made an extra trip to get food for my dog without me even asking, and stayed in close contact the entire time. I got photos and videos almost every day (sometimes multiple times), and I never once had to wonder how things were going. No other sitter I’ve used has ever been this proactive, thoughtful, and communicative. Keri is the kind of sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. She’s a total gem.”

About: I have several years experience in animal care. I have worked at two different doggy daycare/boarding facilities and two animal hospitals. I can care for pets that need medications and special instructions. From walking, playing, bathing, and cuddling, I can handle cats/kittens, dogs/puppies and if requested can care for horses as well. Currently have several pets of my own, 7 dogs, 10 cats, 5 horses and 8 ducks. I currently work from home on my own schedule which means I am open anytime throughout the day to stop by for potty breaks, playtime and feedings. I have both dogs and cats of my own and understand how they are more family than pets. I go outside with them during potty breaks and make sure they have all of my attention.
“Barbora was perfect! She is very sweet and attentive to my 17 year old ckd kitty(Bippy). I was so nervous to leave Bippy but she was in great hands. Barbora made sure her water was clean and full. Followed my cat's peticular feeding instruction. My kitty cat can kind of be a diva if she isn't fed in separate bowls. Barbora understood and fed her accordingly. She kept her litter box clean and replenished with fresh litter. She was patient and kind to my scaredy cat. Through the whole experience I was put at ease that Bippy was well taken care of and I would not hesitate to do this all again. Thank you Barbora for all your help! It is very much appreciated!! You are amazing!”

“Amanda is excellent. Not only is her communication top notch but so is the care and attention to detail she had for my cats/my asks (her 1st sitting was for 18 drop ins over 10 days).

“Thor came home completely exhausted from his day with Christina. She made sure Thor met everyone at his own pace and he was comfortable throughout his stay. She provided a lot of pictures and communication throughout the day which put my mind at ease. She’s very clearly has a passion for dogs and spoils each dog in her care. Thor had crashed out in the car before even getting home. Before he fell asleep he gave her 4 paws up. I’m so happy to have found Christina and the comfort of knowing my fur baby is in good hands!! Thank you Christina!!”
About: As a passionate dog lover, I’ve been providing dog sitting services for 20 years, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! Throughout my journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of breeds, from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Each dog has its own unique personality, and I’ve loved tailoring my care to meet their individual needs—whether it’s extra playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I’ve developed strong routines that include regular feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation through games and training. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels loved and happy while you’re away! I also understand how important communication is. I provide daily updates and photos so you can see just how much fun your pup is having. Many of my clients have commented on how relieved they feel knowing their dogs are in capable hands. Being a dog sitter isn’t just a job for me; it’s a chance to build lasting relationships with amazing pups and their owners. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the love and attention they deserve! I work from home, so your fur baby can go out frequently and get extra cuddles during the day! This is especially beneficial for puppies and older dogs. My large backyard, complete with a secure 4-foot fence, is the perfect playground for dogs to run, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors—especially on sunny days! At night, your furry friend will feel right at home. I provide a variety of cozy sleeping options, including crates, comfortable beds, and even couches for those who love to snuggle up. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment, so your pup will have a restful night’s sleep after a day full of fun.

“Nicole was an excellent host. I booked a last minute trip and she was able to work with me so that my trip went as smooth as possible. She took amazing care of my pups and provided me with constant updates. I would highly recommend trusting Nicole with your fur babies.”
About: I've had two dogs, one puppy and one rescue (both Wheaten Terriers). I miss them and decided to offer my home to other dogs who mostly prefer the comforts of being in a homely environment, especially for senior dogs who need to feel settled while owners are away. I am near the trails so dogs can have a long and safe walk, or just a few 20 minute strolls around the neighborhood - it's the dog's choice! Your dog will be in very good hands. I am available 24/7 with a daily routine that would accommodate a pet dog in my household to look after and care for as if my own. I sometimes board my neighbor's dog and a feeding routine is maintained during the day, early morning walk and throughout the day as required. I have no fence so a pee break is on leash around the gardens of my home. We usually walk about 3 times per day (weather permitting) with a final pee break before bedtime. Play times and cuddle times are spontaneous, as well as nap times! I don't mind dogs on my leather sofa.
About: I've trained and have been a parent to numerous breeds. Right now my wife and I have 2 adorable golden doodles. We can't have kids so our pets mean everything to us I'm currently working from home selling items online and taking care of our dogs and cat. I take care of the house and yard and keep it clean I will feed them and play with them. I will let them out and clean up any messes they may l leave. I will check in on them multiple times.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in the house hold as far back as I could remember! I have a genuine love for animals in general but especially our canine friends. I have served in law enforcement for nearly a decade and with that said safety, security and transparency are top of my list of priorities. I have worked closely with dogs my entire life and have trained several dogs to learn simple and more advanced commands which improves the overall behavior and wellbeing of any dog. My schedule is extremely flexible and all it takes is an open line of communication and most scheduling need can be met to fit the owners requests. Its important for me that a clients pet is treated like my own. I believe it takes integrity to car for someone’s dog and because they can not speak for themselves it worries pet owners that their dog may be mistreated when being cared for by another person. Rest assured I would make it my mission to treat your dog as if he/she were my own. My home is located on nearly 2 acres grassy open fields, with over 4000 sq ft of that space being fenced in for plenty of outdoor activities.
About: I’ve owed and taken care of animals for decades. They are an indelible part of families and should be treated with an abundance of love.

I have a fenced yard. Your pet will be allowed on my furniture and sleep in my bed (if they want to).

Over the years, I’ve puppy-sat, dog-sat (up to six dogs at once for one owner!), cat-sat, and even farm-sat a few times. I treat every animal like they're my own. My pets are truly my babies, and my friends lovingly call me “extra” when it comes to how much I dote on them. I even tried to save a baby mouse once, I really do care about every animal I meet! I work in education, which means I have summers, holidays, and Christmas breaks off. I rarely travel because I prefer to stay home with my fur children, so I’m usually available year-round.

They’re crate trained, but your dog doesn’t need to be. I’m happy to take your pup(s) to the local dog park if they enjoy that, and I offer as much walking as they need! Cats: While I don’t board cats in my home, I offer drop-in visits. I can feed, brush, play, and snuggle with them, whatever makes them feel most comfortable. I currently work only during the school year. So, most holidays, and summers I am off. Most weekends I am available. During the work week I am available before 6:30 am, and after 4:00 pm. At this time I currently only board small animals once I meet them to approve they can get along with my two small dogs. While I am in your home I treat your animals, and house with the utmost care, and respect.

About: I have had several dogs ever since I was young, and I continue to care for my two dogs when I return home from university. I am in charge of feeding them, taking them outside, and bathing them, when necessary. I am tentatively planning to reapply for my summer retail job, so my schedule may vary.

I will take any animals that enjoy walks for those in the area or to a park if they need to get energy out, play with them outside, or play with them inside. I follow a routine for feeding and for any meds they might have to take, while also checking to make sure they have full and clean water daily. If I am cat sitting I will make sure to check and scoop the litter daily as well if needed.

Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.
About: I’ve been in a house of 3 or more pets my entire life. I’ve cared for puppies as well as senior doggos. I worked at an emergency animal hospital for about 1.5 years, and am currently in school to become a certified veterinary technician, with the goal of eventually attending veterinary school to become a licensed DVM. I am currently in-between jobs, but actively in school through Penn foster so I have a relatively open a flexible schedule with proper notification ahead of time! I currently take lewie on walks fo outdoor enrichment ant local parks or we play fetch in the house! We do monitored potty breaks in the back yard. Sadly I will not be able to bring your pet to my home as I have a very reserved shy little guy here who isn’t too kind to others and doesn’t adjust well, but I will be glad to care for your fur baby at your home!

About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.

About: Hi my name is Diane, and I have been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds most of my life. I will care for your precious babies just like my own. They will receive professional care, love, attention and affection. This is my full time job, if you can call it that. It's a blessing. I have a nice yard and field for walks, and a large covered deck for outside play time in severe weather. I only take one family's pets at a time. So, your babies will get plenty of quality attention and companionship. My home is pet friendly and all safety precautions have been implemented. Your companions will be kept separate from my own for the safety of both parties. I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I now have a bedroom designated for cats. It has a king size bed and lots of windows for bird watching. I only book one family's cat or cats at a time. I have excellent reviews and references. Thank you for your consideration. This is my full time job. A labor of love. So, caring for your companions will be my top priority. You can feel confident and secure while they're in my care. I will accommodate your companions needs and your requests. All pets are kept safe and attended to at all times. I am trustworthy and reliable.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.

“Otis has many special needs, and she cared for him like he was part of the family. Barbora went above and beyond, was very accommodating, and sent updates and pictures to keep me informed. It was such a relief knowing Otis was loved and so well cared for.”
“Thank you so much to Tammy and her husband for taking in our pups and taking great care of them while we were out of town. Tammy was always responsive, and both dogs had a great time and clearly felt comfortable. Tammy has a great fenced yard with ducks and geese in a pond right behind her that the dogs love to watch. We will definitely ask Tammy to sit our pups again in the future.”
“Shannon was very kind. She really was patient with my elderly dog. She was also sitting another pup who kept my fur baby company. She sent me pictures daily. I really appreciate that. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Christina was amazing! Rosie had so much fun during her stay and enjoyed playing with all of the dogs! She came home and passed out which means she enjoyed herself to the fullest.”
“This was my first time leaving Lou with a babysitter and I was nervous. Sarah made me and my girl both feel very comfortable at drop off. I received pictures while I was out of town so that I could see how well she was doing. Sarah was very attentive to Lou’s needs as an elderly dog with anxiety. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my baby.”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“We’ve used Cynthia several times and have been very pleased. Winston goes on walks, lounges around the house or fenced in yard, enjoys the company of Cynthia’s pets and is well-taken care of. Cynthia keeps me updated with photos/texts. She’s easy to schedule with and obviously cares for animals. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole did an amazing job at taking care of my 2 Elkhounds. She is very experienced and completely understood the situation with my male wanting to mark his territory. She kept me in the loop on how they were doing and let me know how she planned on handling situations. Nicole was very understanding when my return flight was canceled and I would be a few hours later than planned in picking them up. I definitely recommend Nicole.”
“Ashley is amazing. I had a last minute sitting job and she took my boys no fuss. They are always so happy when I get them.. Me and my husband will continue to be regulars of hers!!!!”
“Stacie took great care of our dog while we were away! She was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and pictures that helped ease my dog mama worry. Thank you so much, Stacie!”

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.
“Highly recommend using Tami to care for your pet! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone for the first time but she made me feel at ease and took great care of my dog! She sent me pictures and texts to ensure me my dog was doing great!”
About: Hello! My name is Marieta and I live in a house with a large yard in Edwardsville, IL. I would love to watch your dog(s) for the day and/or overnight. I am an experienced dog walker & have also cared for dogs, ranging from small to large breeds, for the last couple of years. I absolutely love dogs - I've had dogs all throughout my life until recently. I work from home, thus, I am able to provide constant attention, long walks, and overall engagement. My husbans can assist any time that I may be busy. He is also a pet lover! We are available almost all week and weekend days/nights. We are flexible and have no problem with last minute calls. We are also available to watch your pet(s) for an extended period of time! I currently work from home and much flexibility to spend lots of time with your dog. We have a large yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. We recently lost our soul dog of 9 years so we’re very experienced with the level of comfort and attention that a dog needs throughout the day.
“If you’re looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, Keri is it. She watched my pup recently and absolutely knocked it out of the park. When my flight got canceled last minute, Keri didn’t even blink—she just handled it. She made an extra trip to get food for my dog without me even asking, and stayed in close contact the entire time. I got photos and videos almost every day (sometimes multiple times), and I never once had to wonder how things were going. No other sitter I’ve used has ever been this proactive, thoughtful, and communicative. Keri is the kind of sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. She’s a total gem.”
“Robert did an excellent job taking care of our dog that by the time I went to pick him up, he decided that he wants to continue to starly on the couch with his friend. I had to coax off the couch so that we could get going home since it was late when I picked up him. I would recommend him for anyone who needs their furrikids to be taken care in there absence.”
“Leroy had a great stay with Abe! We got lots of pictures and could tell Leroy was happy and well taken care of. Will definitely be back for the next time we need a sitter. Thanks!”
