Personalized care for your dog or cat - Yeager
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Yeager
“Leslie is a wonderful sitter for our pet Brinkley. We have used her several times and Brinkley is always happy and well taken care of each and every time. I drive over 30 miles to get her service and I wouldn’t leave our pet Brinkley with anyone else.”
“Nichole is wonderful! She took very good care of our dogs for our week long vacation. My yorkie loved her son, who was very sweet to her. Nichole sent pictures and kept us up-to-date on everything. We will definitely use her services again!”
“We booked with Ellie for a meet and greet and a 6 hr daycare experience! Our very shy beagle warmed up to her and her dogs on her first visit! Ellie kept us informed throughout the day and sent lots of pictures too!”
“I’ve used so many Rovers and she is absolutely fantastic. Takes care of my pup as if she were my own, and has a way better back yard for them to run around in. Great about photo and video updates, too. Highly recommend.”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Conway enjoys being at Eloise’s home especially when he gets to play in the yard. He always looks healthy and well taken care of. We appreciate the communication and photos during his stay. A senior dog isn’t easy to care for, but Eloise seems to enjoy him.”
“Excellent care. Our senior dog was well cared for while staying with Barbara. Daily updates and photos let us know our pup was happy. Highly recommend Barbara and we will definitely book again!”
“Mariah took such great care of my dog, Dolton! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and made Dolton feel right at home. She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Dolton came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Mariah—will definitely book with her again!”
“Heather took great care of our girl, Ella, while we were away for a week! She sent daily updates and lots of photos. Heather was very responsive and accommodating and when our flight home was delayed!”
“Bridget is amazing. Our dog hates to stay anywhere without us. She wont eat. She just lays around and mopes. We planned a 10 day vacation and needed someone that knew how to take care of anxious dogs. We could not believe our luck when we found Bridget. She brought Shelly into her home and treated her like one of her own. She sent us updates and pictures daily. It felt like we dropped Shelly off at doggy camp. She was comfortable the first day there. She ate, played with the other dogs, went for walks, watched tv, and got lots oflove. It was such a relief! We will definitely be repeat clients.”
“Rolanda was amazing! She kept me updated and sent pictures of Chloe throughout her stay! I can tell that Chloe was comfortable with her and she came back just as happy as she was before i dropped her off! I would definitely book with Rolanda again!”
“Joy and Dan are great! Within minutes of dropping Tabi off I received pictures. What a wonderful family. They will always be my go-to because of all the love and attention Tabi received while staying there. Thanks again!”
“Magda was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! She shared tons of photos and kept us updated the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She spent lots of time outside with Penny, taking her on walks and doing activities to keep her happy and engaged. Penny can definitely be a handful at times, but Magda was so patient, gentle, and kind with her. You can tell she truly loves what she does. We would recommend her to anyone.”
“I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“Julie and her family were wonderful with our boy Finley!! He had all of the same comforts as home and was very well taken care of. I will definitely bring Finley back!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Yeager
About: I've been caring for animals most of my life, from growing up with family dogs to being a dedicated cat owner for the past four years. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each animal the love and attention they deserve. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm committed to providing dependable, personalized care and treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'll always follow your pet's routine, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm available Monday through Saturday during the morning and afternoon for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. Sundays are my day off, so I'm unavailable that day. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pet, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for in the place they know best.
About: I've cared for dogs since I was 16. Having a dog of my own growing up helped with most of my experiences. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I always treat each animal as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, so l have flexible availability for pet care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight boarding I’m always open to last minute changes if that’s what your schedule ever needs it. I take care of pets by feeding them, giving them water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, giving meds if needed, and hanging out with them to make sure they’re happy and safe. I treat as if they were my own with the love and respect they deserve.
About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!
About: I have had animals since I was a kid. We fostered kittens, dogs, and I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. My sister works at an animal shelter as well and has taught me many things to keep animals safe. I currently work full time so I typically am free at lunch, after work, and all weekends! I am flexible as well in the mornings. I am aware of all doors and locks. I make sure to ask specific questions regarding the needs of pets and what the owner needs such as check ins with photos, scooping cat litter, adjusting air, replenishing food and water, etc.
“We are so grateful for Hannah! She is reliable and truly cares about our dog’s well-being. It gives me such peace of mind knowing our pup is in loving hands. She sends photos of him and my dog is visibly happier and more relaxed because of his walks. I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my furry family member. Highly recommend!”
About: Lifelong animal lover experienced in river walks, companion feedings, soothing chest rubs, treat distribution, and earning a sly cats trust. I will make sure your pets are happy, SAFE, and completely spoiled while you’re away! After a recent career shift- a friend suggested I try Rover to generate a bit of income. Bonus: an opportunity to do something I LOVE! I’m just getting started (here), but I look forward to meeting your fur family. I closely monitor outdoor time to ensure the pet is secure in the yard. I do NOT have a fence (all neighbors do). I will either clip them to the ground lead (125 lb hold), or long leash them in hand (I prefer your dog wear a harness while in my care). For their safety and security, your pet will NOT be outside without supervision. When out walking I will remain aware and assess surroundings to prepare for any triggers the dog may have and offer redirection. I will closely follow your schedule and preferences to make transition of care easier.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal as if they were my own—whether that means being extra gentle with senior dogs, helping reinforce training with energetic puppies, or making sure your shy or anxious pet feels safe and loved. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I pay close attention to your pet’s unique needs and routine. Communication is key, so I always keep owners updated with photos and notes to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in a caring, responsible, and attentive environment. As a healthcare worker, I usually work three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule the rest of the week to focus on pet care. On my days off, I love spending time with animals—it’s honestly one of the best ways to unwind and bring joy into my routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or walks, I have the time, energy, and passion to give your pet the attention they deserve. My healthcare background also makes me dependable, calm under pressure, and very attentive to detail—especially when it comes to routines, medications, or special care needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine—and I make it my priority to provide care that’s tailored to them. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need consistency and structure to sweet senior dogs who need patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, cuddle partner, or someone to reinforce training, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: Hello! I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years — including rescues, seniors, and pups with lots of energy! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with feeding routines, meds, and special care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to keep you updated with cute pictures and messages throughout their stay. Your fur baby’s comfort and safety come first! 🐕✨ I am currently working part time. Which is Tues-Sat 4pm-11pm tho so I’m anytime free before then. & I am off every Sunday and Monday I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of 9 dogs in my life, 5 of them lived with me (at different times) I have had German Shepherds, Yorkies, Havanese, PitBull/Boxer, and Maltese. I have also taken care of Labradors, Jack Russel Terriers, Pugs, and Chihuahuas. I am not scared of dogs, and I am also a teacher so I have a lot of patience. I don't get frustrated when they make mistakes (people make them too) but I am willing to work with them to correct their behavior. I am available on weekends, evenings during the week during the school year but I am flexible during the summer and other times I am on break. I am a mom to two wonderful dogs, Lola and Groot.
About: I have experience with giving medication for 5+ years. I enjoy long walks around the neighborhood or forest preserves. I used to volunteer at pet shelters when I was college. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and concerns I am a former graduate at northwestern and i am currently working in healthcare as an X-ray tech. My Schedule is flexible with my job! I’m sorry, at this time I am not providing any at home services. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation at this time.
About: I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am a responsible, energetic, caring person that would love to take care of your pet! Your pets are part of the family, just like mine. I have experience dog sitting small to medium sized dogs. I am not strong enough to walk or care for larger dogs (unless of course they are great on the leash walking). I do not discriminate against any kind of breeds. I have two dogs of my own that are chihuahua and chihuahua mix. I have cared for small chihuahuas to larger pit bulls. Just message me with your needs as I work part time as a dental hygienist so I will work around my hours. I, also, volunteer at a wild animal rescue where I get to care for raccoons, foxes, deer, possums, squirrels and rabbits under the supervision of a veterinarian. I love animals of all kinds! Caring for animals is a passion of mine !
About: In the past I’ve had foster dogs from the shelters and they would ask me for more help if they were needing extra help with the dogs. I’m available almost anytime after noon. I am looking for a new thing to start doing I love animals and I have experience with watching dogs and cats. If needed I can train the dogs and watch the house if my clients need me to. I can clean up messes if an accident occurs.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Yeager
“Eloise was great! She has a nice fenced yard that our outdoor loving pup loved. Eloise is clearly a kind dog lover who appreciated our sweet girl. Eloise was flexible and understanding whem our plans inadvertently changed. I highly Recommend her !!”
“It's hard to find someone as caring as Danielle to watch over your pup. She allowed me to bring Princess Eloise to meet her and her pups before I left Elli there for a full day. More importantly, after the first full day, I could tell right away that Elli had a very good day at 'school'. On a side note, her house is very clean with no smell of animals at all. She definitely takes pride in what she does. I highly recommend Danielle to care of your fur baby!”

“Noel was amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone during the day. He was so excited to see her every morning. We cannot recommend Noel enough. Will be using her in the future!!!!”

I can clean up messes if an accident occurs.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals as long as I can remember! My parents adopted our first dog when I was only 4 years old. Tala was a Siberian husky that I took care of daily from a very young age. Throughout my childhood I grew up with medium/larger dogs such as German shepherds, huskies, pitbulls, and a Great Dane. My love for animals didn’t stop there! As a kid I regularly helped a family friend on her farm take care of wild and farm animals that she rehabbed such as bunnies, raccoons, squirrels, chickens, horses, cows, goats, etc. Now that I live on my own with my husband, we own 2 silly orange cats (4yo) and 2 dogs. Our 2 beagles, Starla(6yo) and Ellie (4yo), are ‘retired research hero’s’, meaning they were lab test animals for human medical research, they even have tattoos inside their right ears! They do great meeting new animals. But due to their life in the lab and awkward lack of learning other dogs body natural language, they require a meet and greet with any pets that plan on staying in our home just to ensure all animals clearly feel comfortable with each other. They are beyond friendly dogs that don’t know what a ‘stranger’ is and will accept love from anyone. Starla has seizures, and because of this I have plenty of experience with handling her during an episode. I would more than willing to board/take care of another pet who suffers from medical conditions! I personally know how nerve racking it is to leave our little fur babies life in the hands of another person that we hardly know. Ellie has a poultry allergy and we’ve become pretty good at checking the labels before feeding anything to her. It was quite surprising to see just how many pet items have poultry in them! I also suffer from a nut allergy, so I also know beyond animals just how dangerous it can be. You can feel more than safe trusting me with your fur babies allergies! I take all forms of special conditions very seriously. I’m currently a college student at ONU, but live in my own home that I own off campus. I do not work at this time and have very few classes that are physically on campus. I love meeting new people and animals especially. I have a fenced in yard where my beagles love to run around. While it is safely fence in, my animals are never left unattended as my animals safety is always a priority. During nice weather I love to take my dogs on walks out at Perry Farms or the Kankakee State Park. These are the places I choose for the safest and cleanest walking paths to keep my pups safe. Before walks I always check the pavement to ensure safe temperature for the little paws. I also spray my pups with Wondercides natural flea & tick repellent to further ensure safety for their health when going on walks. My house is only 1 level. The only stairs your pet would be required to climb are the ones going in and out of the house. While I do have a basement, only the cats are allowed down there. I am still new to the pet sitting world, but I am so excited!
“She was very warm and welcoming from the very beginning..My dogs took to her! She answer all my questions and concerns.I will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their dog looked after.”

Please message me so we can discuss your specific needs and availability! Hi, I’m Bee! I’m a medically retired police officer turned professional pet care provider. Pet care is my full-time work, not a side hobby. I take a calm, structured, safety-first approach and focus on low-stress care that allows pets to feel secure, respected, and comfortable.

I do not book out more than 3 months in advance. I am available generally anytime between sunrise and sunset. Due to a vision disability, I may occasionally need to adjust timing on very rainy days, and I do not drive after dark. If weather requires a schedule shift, I’ll always communicate in advance and ensure your pet still receives attentive, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I provide intentional, structured care designed to reduce stress, prevent issues before they happen, and create a calm, predictable experience for both pets and owners.

About: I have a dog myself a matipoo, her name is sugar 2 years old! I've always wanted to work with dogs, I love dogs so much! I'm available during the week and maybe weekends it depends, but I would enjoy watching your fury baby's, there will be dogs on walks and have lots of fun! I have a fenced yard and one friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog will not be in the cage all day, walks after every meal!
About: My husband and I are very unique. We would have a farm if we could. We live in a smaller home, but have so much love between our pets and kids. I hope we can raise our 3 kids to love animals as much as we do. I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years, but grew up in a house of animals. My family's huge animal lovers. I have stayed for weeks at a time with families, dog walked, issued medicine to pets, and just simply stopped in to let them out and hang for a bit. We have had dogs and cats stay with us while families are on vacation and made it work perfectly. My kids knowing they are small, are great w the animals too. I am just excited to make your fur baby feel safe and loved while you're away. *Update: We just added bathing and nail clipping as an add on option! My husband's mom owned the Canine Clipper that was in business for over 30 years. He grew up as cheap labor for 15 years in the shop washing, drying and trimming nails of any cats and dogs that came. We do not offer grooming services as that is not in our wheelhouse. Have you pet come home feeling and smelling fresh! I just had our new baby born on August 8th this year. I have three boys that I am obsessed with. I love being a boy mama 💙 I am a personal trainer but have cut back on hours so I can hang w my kids while they are young. I sometimes forget about how I was a nanny for 10 years and a dog sitter for about 15. I would love to do my passion again knowing I have so much more free time at home. My 5 year old is in school all day, my 3 year old has preschool twice a week for 2 hrs, and my newborn just goes for the ride. I'm always home on the weekends, and during the week I'm always looking to do something-which I would love to show my kids how to treat animals. If your pet is not good w kids, I can also drop them off w their grandma for a bit. I always make it happen ❤️ She loves some grandson time. All our pets are spoiled because they are our family too. Our dogs have dog beds all around, even though they sleep on couches and beds w us. The cats have cat towers and toys and get the free range of the house. We used to have a nanny because I wanted someone here for the kids, but also the pets. It always made me feel better knowing someone would always be there for them too.
“Thanks for hosting Wrigley and Rockett for daycare! They had a wonderful time. Love the pictures and play they have with Mandy, the family, and her pups! As well as other daycare pups!”
About: I have had pets for 40 years and taken care of others' pets for 30 years. I am a reliable, peppy, retired teacher and counselor. Currently I have open availability.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals.

I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.
“Highly recommended! Erika stands apart from other sitters in all the best ways. She is very communicative both before and during the stay and follows instructions. She took great care of my anxious pup - I never had a moment's worry. I will definitely be booking again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my entire life. I’ve spent many years working at a vet clinic so I am comfortable with all animals. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets for many years. I currently have a very flexible work schedule, and can be available with advanced notice. My work can be done from anywhere so I am available most times. If I’m caring for a pet in a clients home, the first thing I want to do is spend some time letting the pet get to know me. They need to feel us out too!
About: In the past I’ve had foster dogs from the shelters and they would ask me for more help if they were needing extra help with the dogs. I’m available almost anytime after noon. I am looking for a new thing to start doing I love animals and I have experience with watching dogs and cats. If needed I can train the dogs and watch the house if my clients need me to. I can clean up messes if an accident occurs.
About: I have taken care of all sizes and temperaments of animals for 6 years, no one is too much to handle! I am very gentle, playful, loving, and energetic; i tailor myself to the pet's specific personality to make them feel comfortable as possible while their parents are away! As a bus driver, I am available to care for your pet(s) between 10am-1pm, then after 5pm on any given week day. All weekend I can give completely undivided attention! I also have every holiday break and all of summer vacation off. I am only open to sitting at other people's home's; i do not have the space, facilities, or amiable enough cat to take in new animals as it stands! As for clients homes, I am capable of taking care of up to 5-7 animals at one time from experience. Care can look like oral medicine administration needs, basic grooming schedules, potty training clean-up, as many walks as needed, and even weighing out food/having specific foods per animal if necessary!
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals and enjoy working with them. I’ve bathed, fed, walked, and played with the animals. I’m very trustworthy and my friends and family members rely on me with their pet care needs. I am a full time college student but I am flexible with my hours. I live 2 hours away when I’m not at school so I will go home for holiday breaks and the summer! My friends and family trust me to watch their pets and take them out on walks throughout the day. I have alot of pet experience and can do anything you ask of me!
About: I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am a responsible, energetic, caring person that would love to take care of your pet! Your pets are part of the family, just like mine. I have experience dog sitting small to medium sized dogs. I am not strong enough to walk or care for larger dogs (unless of course they are great on the leash walking). I do not discriminate against any kind of breeds. I have two dogs of my own that are chihuahua and chihuahua mix. I have cared for small chihuahuas to larger pit bulls. Just message me with your needs as I work part time as a dental hygienist so I will work around my hours. I, also, volunteer at a wild animal rescue where I get to care for raccoons, foxes, deer, possums, squirrels and rabbits under the supervision of a veterinarian. I love animals of all kinds! Caring for animals is a passion of mine !
“Briana is so GREAT with our two dogs. She truly cares for Ody and Billie Jean like they are her own. She has great availability, which works amazingly for our hectic schedules. She is truly the best!!”
About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!
About: Hello, call me Shay. I've grown up with dogs and have always wanted to be in a profession where I can work with them. I have always had family rely on me when it came to pet sitting their furry family members. Now I am so happy to do it for you. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing, and even brushing if requested. I am really hoping that with the extra funds I get from this amazing experience, I will be able to fund my future in a career that works with animals daily. I will love and treat your pet like they were one of my own. I am pretty flexible and always willing to take extra time to work with more timid pets. For house stays I always have someone with me so please be sure to let me know if that's something you don't want :) I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability on my schedule to give that time, attention and care to your beloved pets. I find most pets perfer staying in their own familiar home. Keeping them happy and relaxed is a main goal of mine and whether on vacation or working a long day, you and your pet will be less stressed knowing they are safe at home.
About: I have had pets since I was very young. I have cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and even a tortoise! Making sure that an animal is healthy, safe, and comfortable is my priority 🙂 I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I can easily make adjustments to work around a schedule that works well for you and your pet. I live in a secure apartment with double doors at major exit ways. There is also a fenced yard around the building. For animals that are particularly anxious in new surroundings, I usually transform my study room into a safe haven (with cozy blankets, toys and treats galore) until your pet is more comfortable to roam around the house.
“Hey there. My name is pattie and Jordan came to walk both of my dogs. He was great! His communication couldn’t have been any better. My dogs are like my children, so I love to know when he arrives, leaves and filled the dog bowls with food and water. He was very attentive. I will gladly be rebooking in the future.”
About: Hello! I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years — including rescues, seniors, and pups with lots of energy! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with feeding routines, meds, and special care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to keep you updated with cute pictures and messages throughout their stay. Your fur baby’s comfort and safety come first! 🐕✨ I am currently working part time. Which is Tues-Sat 4pm-11pm tho so I’m anytime free before then. & I am off every Sunday and Monday I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.
About: I hope to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while their beloved owner is away. I have plenty of experience with animals being I have grown up with various pets. Whether it is for 30 minutes or 4 days I plan to love your pets as if they were my own! I currently do not have any pets of my own but my roommate has a medium sized dog but if I’m pet sitting they most likely won’t be home. I am a very outgoing and energetic person, I also enjoy being outside a lot. I hope to bring your furry friend to one of the many dog parks nearby. I like all animals small or big and would love to spend some time with your furry besties! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me or message me on here! Talk soon! :) I just moved to the city so my schedule is all open but I plan on getting a part time or full time job in the future I allow pets on furniture and beds we also have lots of extra toys. I am fully capable of feeding, walking, and covering play time. I also can implement good behavior training (non professional) but just basic sit, stay, paw. Please let me know if you are not comfortable with me taking photos of your pup or kitty ( I like to use them for my profile to show my diverse set of ‘clientails’) but of course that is up to you :)

“Conway enjoys being at Eloise’s home especially when he gets to play in the yard. He always looks healthy and well taken care of. We appreciate the communication and photos during his stay. A senior dog isn’t easy to care for, but Eloise seems to enjoy him.”
“Mariah took such great care of my dog, Dolton! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and made Dolton feel right at home. She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Dolton came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Mariah—will definitely book with her again!”
“Heather took great care of our girl, Ella, while we were away for a week! She sent daily updates and lots of photos. Heather was very responsive and accommodating and when our flight home was delayed!”
“Bridget is amazing. Our dog hates to stay anywhere without us. She wont eat. She just lays around and mopes. We planned a 10 day vacation and needed someone that knew how to take care of anxious dogs. We could not believe our luck when we found Bridget. She brought Shelly into her home and treated her like one of her own. She sent us updates and pictures daily. It felt like we dropped Shelly off at doggy camp. She was comfortable the first day there. She ate, played with the other dogs, went for walks, watched tv, and got lots oflove. It was such a relief! We will definitely be repeat clients.”
“Joy and Dan are great! Within minutes of dropping Tabi off I received pictures. What a wonderful family. They will always be my go-to because of all the love and attention Tabi received while staying there. Thanks again!”
“I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.”
