Personalized care for your dog or cat - Decatur
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Decatur
“So glad Julie kept our dog for the week. The home environment was so much better than a kennel. We also appreciated the photos and communication throughout the week. We will schedule with her again.”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“She was AMAZING! She watched our 2 dogs for our wedding weekend and was so accommodating with letting us come get them for the ceremony and bringing them back! She was also fabulous with our very testy rottie. We are forever grateful and so glad our pups were in good hands!”
“Reyna's first stay with Katy went super well! Katy was quick to respond to messages before booking and sent updates and pictures every day during Reyna's stay, which was much appreciated. It was an added bonus that she also has a dog so Reyna always had a friend around. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Our pup Maisy had a great time with Madison! Maisy is a shy girl and Madison was very patient and helpful in getting her acclimated and introduced to the other dogs. She had a great stay and came home happy!”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“Leandra and Mark did an amazing job with our puppy. They are so personal with clients. They took such good care of our baby. I definitely will book again. Their availability is great especially for a puppy. They love playing with the puppy. They treated our puppy like he was their own. I look forward to them watching him again soon!”
“Becky did an excellent job of making Rocky feel comfortable even though he is a new rescue of mine. She stayed in touch the entire time I was gone and sent lots of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her and hope to have Rocky there again soon!”
“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”
“Jenai and Sean were wonderful! This was my first time to let someone I don't know take care of Baxter. They kept me updated and sent several pictures during my trip which really eased my mind. It looks like he loved playing with their dog in their big yard. He was exhausted when I got him home! I highly recommend this couple and will use them again in the future.”
“Sydney was amazing! You can tell as soon as you walk through her door that her heart belongs to animals. I was so nervous leaving my old man with a stranger for the first time. But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.”
“Trina is the best! I am a new dog mom with a small rambunctious puppy so I was very nervous to leave her with anyone. I had a friend bail on me last second to watch her so I was absolutely in a pinch and Trina was quick to respond and open to a visit before hand. She made the whole process very relieving and sent update pictures through the night. My night ran later than expected and Trina told me not to worry and to enjoy my night, so sweet! I would recommend her to everyone!”
“Olivia was great! Very friendly and responsive, it was super easy to coordinate drop off and pickup and our dog had a great time! Will definitely be using again and would highly recommend.”
“We are so lucky to have found Heather! She gives daily updates of our pets and sends videos and pictures, which makes our time away a lot less difficult. She truly cares about our pets!”
“We love Kevin! This was the 3rd time our bernedoodle puppy stayed with him and he had just been neutered 3 days beforehand but we knew he would be in good hands. Kevin administered the medications and also followed all of the instructions as far as activity level and play. He even ended up having to use a baby gate to ensure safety! We are greatly appreciative of Kevin!”

About: I've cared for both healthy cats and cats with underlying conditions. For 10 years I had a cat that was diabetic that I had to administer insulin to. My current cat is 15 and requires a lot of love and attention.My cat Mabel is a rescued kitten/ cat almost 16 years ago on Halloween night while coming home from work , about 4 cars ahead of me something went flying out the window . I was able to stop and pull over due to not having other cars behind me . It was very cold that night and the sun was just starting to set . I got out of my car and looked around for a few minutes but didn't see anything and I got ready to leave I hear faint cry and I turned and looked down into some tall weeds and there she was , this poor malnourished kitten crying for help . To make a long story short I got her home and the day my wife and I took her to vet . They kept her for 3 days running ivs into her . We able to come and after 3 days thinking she wasn't going make it. And here she is still with after such a traumatic start to her life . I am very grateful to have Mabel as my best friend and wouldn't trade for the world . I love you very much Mabel .
“An absolutely phenomenal pet sitter. We could not have found a better person to watch our cats while we were gone for several days. Hanna dropped in twice a day to care for our cats while we were out of town. She is super friendly and warm and sweet. Our cats fell in love with her instantly. We invited her husband to visit our place with her , and he was great with the cats too. Hanna was a great communicator. She kept us up-to-date and reached out if she had questions. She also sent us numerous photos and videos of our cats as she cared for them. That’s how we know how good she was with them. For most of us who have pets, they are almost like our kids, and we want to leave them in the best care possible when away. Hanna is the person to take care of your animals. If you are in need of someone to watch your animals while you were away, ask Hanna before anybody else. You will not be disappointed, I promise. We will absolutely reach out to Hanna again for future travels.”

Whether you have a kitten or a senior cat, I am confident and comfortable providing the highest level of attention. (Or pretend they are not there, and just fill their bowl, whatever they prefer!)
“William did a great job looking after our cats, especially with such a last minute booking. He was responsive to us and our needs and willing and able to engage both cats. Both cats seemed to respond well to him and seemed able to administer their meds with no problems. We will be sure to book William again, if he's available, but have no need yet.”
“Yanya was great to work with as we needed dog care for our Goldendoodle at our campsite while we enjoyed a 10-hour train ride into ONT. Yanya was responsive, on-time, spent the entire hour with the dog walking and playing with her, and sent some great pictures/videos. I would definitely use her again if needed while in the area!”
About: I’ve volunteered at the harbor humane society and other local shelters for years. I love spending time with the animals and ensuring their happiness and comfort. I’m currently on summer break from school and have a very open schedule while the only task I have to complete is to work on my masters thesis. Your home and pet are so incredibly valuable. I will be sure to treat your home with respect, cleaning up after myself and your pets.
“Vivian has been a great pet sitter to my cat, Truffle. Communicates quickly and clearly. Plays with him and sends lots of cute photos. And always makes sure he has fed and clean. Very happy to have Vivian as Truffles sitter when I have to travel for work.”
“Jennifer did a great job dropping in to feed our cats and horse while out of town. Setting up a meet and greet was quick and she has been great to communicate with. I definitely recommend booking her!”
“Morgan was great as always! She took great care of our fur babies. She even cleaned out the food dishes when they were empty. Love having her come take care of our babies.”
“Danielle is just awesome! She took so great care of our dogs at her house and dropped in at our house to care for our cats. It was the most relaxed vacation we have had in a long time as we never had a worry about any one of our animals the entire time. The search is over, she is now our go to sitter!!”
“My last pet sitter canceled last minute and everything went to crap as my cat pepper "drama king screaming demon" needs medicine for his stomach and anxiety in his old age. Sonny took my black fur ball of rage and distrust and made sure he had his medicine and space as pepper can be a bit "much" she gave lots of pictures and updates and was available within 2 days of booking which I desperately needed. She also worked with me as my family trip had gotten derailed when our car broke down and was willing to watch him for a bit longer as we figured out how to get home. She builds a great rapport and I can tell her own animals adore her and are VERY well socialized. Her kitten peaches ran up to me wanting to say hi and her dog ham was not aggressive in the least meeting me for the first time, he just wanted pats!”
“If I could leave ten stars I would. Halle is simply the most intuitive, most attentive, and most caring sitters that my two cats have had the pleasure of spending time with. I cannot recommend Halle more favorably!”
“Our young cat was well cared for by Casey! He had a designated safe space he could use at her house when needed, though he wasn’t shy and made himself right at home. She was very attentive to any needs he had and made sure to send pictures, which our family loved seeing. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Casey again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Decatur
“Julie and her husband, Joe, took good care of Obi. It was his first time staying with them. Julie sent me a picture and video of Obi having a good time. Their dog Barron was not home to play with, but I think they played with Obi and gave him lots of attention.”
“Hanna has been a lifesaver as me and my dog Poppy adjust to the area and with the move! Poppy loves going to Hanna’s and playing with her new friends. Poppy is super anxious around other dogs, but she LOVES Hanna’s pups. It’s such a great feeling as a pet owner to know when I drop Poppy off she’s more excited to be there than she is to be at home!”

I’ve had experience with training, potty training and have helped family and friends with dog walking. I currently go to school online so I am home most of the day. I have an older dog of my own so I am used to a routine of being able to be home to let me dog outside and take him for walks at least once a day. I have a fenced in backyard so that your dog can be outside as much as they like. I also have a dog that absolutely loves other animals. My son is a big fan of helping out with animals and we both enjoy snuggling up with our dog at the end of the day. I do allow dogs on furniture and in all rooms of my house, however I will respect if this is something you do not wish your dog to do.

About: We had a small dog when our children were out of high school and our world revolved around him. We miss him a lot since he crossed the rainbow bridge but I am lucky to be a grandma to 5 dogs—a Saint Bernard, a chihuahua mix, 2 terrier mixes and a German Shepherd mix. All rescue dogs with some quirky personality traits that make them a challenge and fun. I have also cared for my sister’s senior Maltese and a neighbor’s senior Boxer. Dogs are my favorite animal and I just love spending time with them! I recently retired from being a paraprofessional at a local school so I have a pretty flexible schedule. My husband works on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays so those days I am much more available but he is flexible if I’m working or have something scheduled. We live out in the country and have a fenced in yard so dogs can play and have some fun time running free. Our neighborhood is safe to walk dogs (we used to walk our little guy around the block daily—1 1/4 miles) and there are also 2 parks close by that we could walk if they seem bored with the block.
“This was our first time using a service to find someone to care for our dog. Jaisree allowed me to meet with her before our drop off date to make sure our dog would be a good fit for her. I really appreciated Jaisree’s warmth and desire to understand how to best care for Blue. She did a great job and I will book with her again.”
“You can tell the quality of a dog sitter by how warn out your pets are after and my dogs are WORN! Brianne did an amazing job watching them, definitely recommend her!”
“Ellie did a fantastic job watching my pup and was a pleasure to work with! She made sure Ophie’s needs were met and provided a great environment for her to get her energy out. I got plenty of updates during her stay, and she came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Ellie’s services!!”
“Olivia was very calm and friendly. Both with me and Webster. He actually seemed happy when I picked him up. That has not always been the case when he has been left with a caregiver.”

I adapt well to new houses, don’t mind cats as well. I like to keep clean around the house, and I do offer deep cleaning as an extra.
“Natalie is incredibly self-possessed, which creates a sense a calmness around her that Greta reacted to right away. From all the updates she sent, I could tell my girl was relaxed and just being welcomed to be herself. It was clear from the photos provided that Natalie was getting right on her level and that Greta felt secure. I was late droping-off and picking up, but Natalie was so flexible, which I greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing Greta get even more comfortable there, and it just felt like the right fit. I really trusted that Natalie would use good judgement if any issues were to arise, and they actually live a couple doors down from a vet. I could tell Natalie was confident in this role, my dog felt safe and cared for, and I could enjoy my time knowing that she was in capable hands. Greta was so calm when I picked her up, when normally she seems a little frantic to be back with me (even at my mom's)-- if you're looking for a chill place for your pet to feel at ease, this is it. Natalie also asked a lot of important questions when I dropped off Greta which made it clear she was thinking ahead and trying to create an environment that my girl could be happy in. I'm so appreciative of Natalie's considerate approach.”
“Josie has been responsive and is very kind and provided a lot of reassurance my first time leaving Winston for the day. He enjoyed playing and being outdoors running around the backyard. He comes home tired and is always happy and excited to see Josie.”

“From the minute our dog met Morgan I could tell things would go well. Morgan was very timely and sent pictures and details about each visit with our dog Leo. I was out of town and when I asked if she could do a couple of extra things to care for Leo she happily agreed. She is very trustworthy, attentive to details and caring. I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.”

About: Hi! I am a second year college student, looking for an extra side hustle! I absolutely adore dogs, I have two, and one in heaven. I am just in school and work as a server on the side, so my schedule is slightly inconsistent but I have some free time every single day no matter what. I can also adjust hours at the restaurant to fit clients needs! I live at home right now, which is also quite lonely, so I wouldn’t mind taking care of some cute fur babies in my extra time!!! I only have one in person class, 9-11 on mondays! I work 3-6 days a week at the restaurant, varying from morning shifts to night- however I am totally okay adjusting my availability for the next week as long as I know the pet sitting schedule!! My schedule is pretty flexible! I have two dogs and one cat. We have an electric fence, but our dogs are pretty good and honestly don’t really need it. I get them tons of exercise everyday (at least one walk and one dog park visit) and I love them more than anything!

I am semi-retired and currently have loads of time. I do extensive volunteer work with, and for, Veterans but can coordinate my schedule as needed. I have a fenced yard for my three to enjoy outdoor romps. Inside they have beds, forts, caves, and numerous pieces of furniture to enhance their napping experience. They get nutritious treats and loads of attention. I'd love to care for your babies as I do my own.

It was an added bonus that she also has a dog so Reyna always had a friend around. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Our pup Maisy had a great time with Madison! Maisy is a shy girl and Madison was very patient and helpful in getting her acclimated and introduced to the other dogs. She had a great stay and came home happy!”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“Leandra and Mark did an amazing job with our puppy. They are so personal with clients. They took such good care of our baby. I definitely will book again. Their availability is great especially for a puppy. They love playing with the puppy. They treated our puppy like he was their own. I look forward to them watching him again soon!”
“Becky did an excellent job of making Rocky feel comfortable even though he is a new rescue of mine. She stayed in touch the entire time I was gone and sent lots of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her and hope to have Rocky there again soon!”
“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”
“Jenai and Sean were wonderful! This was my first time to let someone I don't know take care of Baxter. They kept me updated and sent several pictures during my trip which really eased my mind. It looks like he loved playing with their dog in their big yard. He was exhausted when I got him home! I highly recommend this couple and will use them again in the future.”
“Sydney was amazing! You can tell as soon as you walk through her door that her heart belongs to animals. I was so nervous leaving my old man with a stranger for the first time. But I got updates daily. He got to go on walks and get lots of love and attention. I picked him up and he was brushed and smiling. I am so happy with Sydney's service.”
“We love Kevin! This was the 3rd time our bernedoodle puppy stayed with him and he had just been neutered 3 days beforehand but we knew he would be in good hands. Kevin administered the medications and also followed all of the instructions as far as activity level and play. He even ended up having to use a baby gate to ensure safety! We are greatly appreciative of Kevin!”
“She made him very comfortable and at home. He was able to play and roam in the house and outside, with her well behaved dogs. I was very pleased with his care and plan on having Kathy watch him in the future.”
“Brad provided excellent, attentive care to my dog on short notice. Clear and easy communication at every step. The photos were a nice touch too. Thank you Brad, we’ll hope to board with you again.”

“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
