“Laddie’s stay with Nicole could not have been a better first experience- for him, and for us. Nicole was incredibly flexible, understanding of our anxiety, and sent MANY fabulous photos and reassuring messages. She also put up with our neurotic requests! I suspect Laddie was reluctant to leave. He had a blast with her dog, AND her amazing cat😂. I”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
“Emily took great care of my pug Forrest. She sent many messages and pictures daily showing how he was enjoying his stay with her and her family. He enjoyed himself so much that he was reluctant to leave when I arrived to pick him up him up, literally hiding behind Emily so I wouldn’t pick him up. I will definitely use Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great family home environment for their pet when away. A+, 5-stars.”
“John provided Lilly with excellent care. Lilly had been traumatized by a two-day visit last year to a kennel last year. We vowed never to do that again. But her visit with John was just wonderful. Lilly will definitely be hanging out with John in the future!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Amy was warm, kind, and incredibly attentive while caring for my dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my baby was in such good hands. Communication was great, and it was clear she genuinely cared. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her services!”
“Christian is great! He is patient, chill, and very good with dogs! I loved that our dog wanted to go back inside with him when we had to leave; that is a great sign!”
“Josie loves dogs and took great care of our Pip. The family made Pip feel good about spending the weekend with them and seemed to love her, even forgiving her for getting food off the counter. 😬 we feel fortunate to have found them.”
“Kourtney was great with our pup, Carl. Carl is an energetic guy and Kourtney provided all that he needed in his 9 day stay. Kourtney’s communication with us before and during his stay was professional and timely. We would use Kourtney’s services again 💯.”
“This was our first boarding experience for our 1yr. old lab. We were immediately impressed with Luiz's knowledge and professionalism. During our time away we received numerous updates with photos and videos reassuring us our dog was being very well cared for. We'll be booking with Luiz in the future.”
“Samantha and her family were amazing with Strider! She worked to figure out the best way to burn his energy and to keep him happy. As a bonus, she lives in an area any dog would love with places to hike and things to smell. I absolutely recommend her!”
“Alicia and her sweet family welcomed Ollie into their home for a 10 day stay. This was Ollie's first stay away from home and Alicia did her best to make him feel safe and comfortable during his stay. Upon pickup he was healthy and happy - would not hesitate to book again!”
“I can’t recommend Abby more! She was so accommodating and welcoming to our dog. She always kept us in the loop and was sending pictures of all the fun he was having. I’m so happy we have found someone that we truly feel comfortable leaving our dog with. Again, she is so so so amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Letícia went above and beyond sharing daily updates, photos, and great videos the whole time. My dog had a better time with her than he does at home playing outside, going on hikes, and falling asleep on the dog bed. I’ll definitely utilize her for all future pet care.”
“Holly and her family were wonderfully accommodating and helpful with our pet Sylvie. They have a wealth of experience looking after dogs, and really appreciate their individual personalities and needs.Communication was great and I would hve them watch Sylvie again, anytime.”

“Susan was wonderful with my cats, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter. From the start, you could tell she genuinely cares deeply about animals. She asked thoughtful questions, paid close attention to detail, and ensured my cats received the best possible care. She was also very personable and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I've already rebooked her to pet-sit for me again! She’s the best.”
“Kiersten did a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were away. She followed our instructions, and our cats were relaxed and well fed. One of our cats has been sick and she gave him his medicines, and he is looking even healthier than when we left!”
“Can I give Amadie 10 stars??? We had recently lost one of our kitties and had a 10 day vacation scheduled plus we had moved so needed a pet sitter for our senior, very shy kitty. Amadie was the perfect fit! Our senior kitty warmed up to her and she actually let Amadie pet her a few times. This was a first for anyone besides me or my husband! The patience, love and care she showed to Luna was beyond anything we ever expected. She also was so caring for our home and reached out with questions. Amadie communicated with us daily, pictures and updates. We will definitely ask Amadie to care for Luna again.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and have always had a special connection with them. I’ve cared for friends’ cats over the years and have a cat of my own who’s now 7 years old. I’ve had her since she was a tiny kitten, and she’s truly my world. She’s independent but loving — she has her favorite cozy spots around the house and loves playing with interactive toys. I believe in gentle redirection and positive reinforcement, and it’s helped her grow into a sweet, well-behaved cat. I’m comfortable with all kinds of feline personalities — from shy or nervous cats who need space, to affectionate ones who love attention. I understand their body language and always approach them with patience and respect. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owner is away.
“Incredibly professional, Kendra is a super star with keen attention to detail. We greatly appreciated the thorough updates and regular communication. Our boys were truly in excellent hands!”
About: I used to babysit for my friends, family membersand & neighbors. As well as I've had many pets of my own; cats, dogs guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it. I'm very good at handling bigger dogs. I'm very flexible when it comes to time and will work around your schedule. I'm currently home from college for spring break and my time is very open for both weekends and weekdays. My working hours start at 7am and go till 11pm. (But I can fluctuate with your schedule) I have a fenced backyard. And one very friendly small/medium dog, he's a little shy, but he gets along with everyone. I believe that our pet should be treated like family members. Walks, treats, attention and lots of love.
“Amanda was a wonderful pet sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. She stayed in our home and cared for our cat while we were away, and she regularly checked in to let us know how things were going, which gave us real peace of mind. When we returned, our cat was happy and relaxed, and everything in our house was exactly as we had left it. We initially felt a little uneasy hiring someone we didn’t know to stay in our home and care for our baby for a week, but we’re so glad we put our faith in Amanda. We completely trust her and will absolutely hire her again.”
“I am so grateful that Aurore checked in on my two cats while I was away! The photos and knowing they were safe and cared for were such a relief and I will absolutely reach out to Aurore again!”
“Nadine is a wonderful cat carer and cat whisperer! She brought out the best in my kitties. I am so lucky to have her caring for my two kitties. She is everything I could hope for in a cat sitter. My kitties agree. !!!!”
“Margaret & Dawson were great and took care of our pets like they were their own. Very trustworthy, dependable and communicative. They sent us pictures and videos of the pets with each visit. We recommend booking with them and we will book with them again in the future!”
“Carol took Nora while we went to the botanical garden. She played with her and kept her safe so we could enjoy our time in the gardens. I wish we could take her with us every time we travel ?”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent many years helping friends and family take care of their pets. It’s something that brings me a lot of joy. Over the years, I’ve looked after all kinds of pets — from energetic pit bulls and bulldogs to small dogs like Shih Tzus and even cats. Sometimes I’ve stayed in people’s homes for a week or two, and other times I’ve just stopped by for walks or check-ins. I’ve also welcomed pets into my own home when friends needed someone they could trust. I have a calm, friendly personality and get along well with animals, even if we’re meeting for the first time. I’m always careful to notice when a pet might be nervous or needs some space, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible since I work a per diem job and can choose when to take shifts. This gives me plenty of time for pet sitting, walks, or overnight stays. I’m usually available on short notice, too. The only thing I plan ahead for is care for my own cat while I’m away, but that’s easy for me to arrange — so it won’t affect my availability or reliability. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles just the way they’re used to. I make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. If a pet stays in my home, I treat them like one of my own. I create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions from the owner so each pet’s needs are met. I’m gentle, patient, and understanding of different personalities — whether a pet is shy and needs space or energetic and ready to play.
“Alicia is great!! She accommodated my last minute request for daycare and was very easy to communicate with. My puppy had a blast playing - very happy and comfortable when I picked her up. I’d book again with Alicia anytime!”
“Our dogs had a blast at Nicole’s place. They got to run around in her nice fenced in yard, played a lot of fetch and got to cool off in the kiddie pool. Nicole and her family are obviously dog lovers and I was so happy we left our girls with them. I would highly recommend Nicole to care for your pups as if they were her own.”
“Lucy always comes home from John's happy and tired. I appreciate that he takes her on actual walks rather than just letting her out in the yard, and she really enjoys playing with his pup as well. Thank you John!”

Her dog, Malu is super sweet too! We highly recommend Letícia if you are looking for a sitter 👍”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently own three. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and have cared for many dogs beyond my own. I am currently a veterinary student at Midwestern University and have a strong passion for animal care. I am confident handling multiple dogs at once and lead an active lifestyle, ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, attention, and high quality care. I am committed to going above and beyond to meet each pet’s individual needs. Pets have been a big part of my life since I was born and I am taking the passion I have for animal care into my career. I am currently a vet student at Midwestern. Your pet will feel at home and comfortable. I will make sure their schedule stays the same and they are fed and walked at the time given.

“Laddie’s stay with Nicole could not have been a better first experience- for him, and for us. Nicole was incredibly flexible, understanding of our anxiety, and sent MANY fabulous photos and reassuring messages. She also put up with our neurotic requests! I suspect Laddie was reluctant to leave. He had a blast with her dog, AND her amazing cat😂. I”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
“Emily took great care of my pug Forrest. She sent many messages and pictures daily showing how he was enjoying his stay with her and her family. He enjoyed himself so much that he was reluctant to leave when I arrived to pick him up him up, literally hiding behind Emily so I wouldn’t pick him up. I will definitely use Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great family home environment for their pet when away. A+, 5-stars.”
“John provided Lilly with excellent care. Lilly had been traumatized by a two-day visit last year to a kennel last year. We vowed never to do that again. But her visit with John was just wonderful. Lilly will definitely be hanging out with John in the future!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Amy was warm, kind, and incredibly attentive while caring for my dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my baby was in such good hands. Communication was great, and it was clear she genuinely cared. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her services!”
“Christian is great! He is patient, chill, and very good with dogs! I loved that our dog wanted to go back inside with him when we had to leave; that is a great sign!”
“Josie loves dogs and took great care of our Pip. The family made Pip feel good about spending the weekend with them and seemed to love her, even forgiving her for getting food off the counter. 😬 we feel fortunate to have found them.”
“Kourtney was great with our pup, Carl. Carl is an energetic guy and Kourtney provided all that he needed in his 9 day stay. Kourtney’s communication with us before and during his stay was professional and timely. We would use Kourtney’s services again 💯.”
“This was our first boarding experience for our 1yr. old lab. We were immediately impressed with Luiz's knowledge and professionalism. During our time away we received numerous updates with photos and videos reassuring us our dog was being very well cared for. We'll be booking with Luiz in the future.”
“Samantha and her family were amazing with Strider! She worked to figure out the best way to burn his energy and to keep him happy. As a bonus, she lives in an area any dog would love with places to hike and things to smell. I absolutely recommend her!”
“Alicia and her sweet family welcomed Ollie into their home for a 10 day stay. This was Ollie's first stay away from home and Alicia did her best to make him feel safe and comfortable during his stay. Upon pickup he was healthy and happy - would not hesitate to book again!”
“I can’t recommend Abby more! She was so accommodating and welcoming to our dog. She always kept us in the loop and was sending pictures of all the fun he was having. I’m so happy we have found someone that we truly feel comfortable leaving our dog with. Again, she is so so so amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Holly and her family were wonderfully accommodating and helpful with our pet Sylvie. They have a wealth of experience looking after dogs, and really appreciate their individual personalities and needs.Communication was great and I would hve them watch Sylvie again, anytime.”
“Swift, Brian, family were amazing with our two dogs! They sent lots of photos throughout the weekend and responded quickly. We will definitely be using them again and highly recommend!”
