Top rated Waddell pet sitters

“Michele was excellent! She was prompt, professional, and kept us in the loop with our dog’s well being. Knowing she was coming by and checking it allowed us to have a better time away.”


“Heather went above and beyond to help me with a thermostat issue while I was out of town and she was taking care of my dog. Followed all of my directions, took tons of pictures for me. Very trustworthy. 10/10 recommend Heather for future dog watching!”


“I am terrible at remembering to leave reviews, otherwise she would have 100+ from just us. Samantha has been checking in/playing with our pup daily for almost a year now. Her daily report cards are descriptive, thoughtful, and really tells you how our pup was during her visit. Our doodle loves her to pieces and the pictures tell us that!”


“Gibson was happy and healthy when we returned. We got cute daily photos and videos and could see he was being fed and petted. We appreciated Stevie's willingness to take on our kitty rather last minute. We had used the same sitter for 10 years but were unable to reach her and needed a replacement with very little notice. Stevie was willing to come and meet us and Gibson in advance and she was obviously a cat person and her visit made us feel comfortable. We would definitely hire her again.”


“We love Beth! She always does an amazing job at taking care of our pups and giving us updates! We never worry about them when we are away because we know they are in great hands!”


“Dina was wonderful. She's very personable which made for a fun meet-n-greet! Not only did she do a great job caring for my two boys but she took on other little tasks like bringing the newspaper and cleaning the food storage containers every day. I would definitely hire her again as my pet sitter! :)”


“Shelby did a great job with the weekly visits for my pup. She is super flexible and very good with communication, always responding very quickly! My shy dog warmed up to her right away, which is rare for my girl. Definitely would love for Shelby to take care of my pup in the future :)”


“Kaylan was incredibly responsive, completed all of the necessary tasks in a timely manner, and even got our extremely shy cat to socialize! Loved the pictures and feedback we received from her :)”


“Krysten was an excellent cat sitter! She was always on time and very flexible. I had to make adjustments to her schedule due to medication issues with my cat and she was very accommodating. I came home and found that my girls were very well cared for. I appreciate Krysten for watching them and I would definitely book her again!”


About: I know how scary it feels entrusting a stranger with your pet! I want you to know that I take any time with your pets seriously and I will love them as much as you. (And I will send you as many photo updates as you wish!) More about me: I just left my corporate job and I want to spend my new found free time helping you out with your pets! I have always been around animals and I love the special connections I make with them. My husband and I just moved here from Florida (he’s in the Air Force) and I’d love to fill up my free time by helping you out by caring your animals! I just left my full time job and that gives me all the availability in the world! I can take care of your pets whenever you need! I do have a cat, but she is very chill and loves to play with other pets! There are dog parks around where I live that I would love to take your pup to!

“Shaley is amazing! She is fantastic with our 2 dogs and always sends us cute pics of them and detailed notes. Gives us peace of mind that our dogs are being taken care of so well and loved.”


“Claudia has been the best! She has looked over our pups a few times now and its been wonderful. Our new puppy Enzo is very scared of people and Claudia kept trying to help him not be afraid. From when he met her until the last visit he has improved so much! Thank you :)”


“Kelsey was awesome! She was able to quickly make my dogs feel comfortable and by the end of the day they were all friends. The drop-ins were all on time and her updates were adorable! Thank you Kelsey!”


About: I have had pets my whole life and have watched neighbors' cats and dogs since I was a kid (along with exotic pets). I currently have a paralyzed cat I rescued off the streets and a sassy orange tabby. I hope to have a dog one day because I miss mine every day. My favorite job was working at an Animal Hospital because I was always meeting new fur baby friends <3 I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals and I want to help eliminate the worry. I love taking pictures and making sure your pet is happy and well taken care of. Lots of snuggles and play :) I have a pretty flexible schedule where I can come over super early in the morning, random times during the day and later in the evening/nights. Keep the liter pans cleaned, fresh water, food, whatever the cat needs to feel safe and happy. My orange cat is a ninja and sometimes tries to escape when I open the door so I make sure no cat tries to run out. I also take care of my paralyzed cat so I have experience with disabled cats and giving meds For my canine friends making sure they have enough potty breaks, walks and attention

About: I have loved animals my entire life. Partial to cats but love all things furry. I believe that they are like mini-people and we'd be lost without them. I don't work so I am available any date/any time, even for last minute bookings. As long as there are basic instructions I will do my best to accommodate and take care of your fur baby. I currently cannot offer care in my home due to my kitties but I am available for drop ins and will take care of as much as I can for you so you don't have to worry.

About: I've spent years caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every animal as if they were my own, providing personalized attention and a safe, loving environment. I have experience training puppies, reinforcing positive behaviors with patience and consistency. I'm also skilled in senior care, understanding the unique needs of older pets and providing gentle support, medication administration, and comfortable accommodations. Pet care fits beautifully into my days off. I dedicate my free time to nurturing animals, providing attentive care and companionship. My approach is flexible, ensuring each pet gets the love and support they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to maintain their established routine and provide a comfortable, stress-free environment. I follow their feeding, exercise, and medication schedules meticulously, ensuring consistency and minimizing disruption. I also prioritize safety, ensuring the home is secure and free of hazards. Beyond the essentials, I shower pets with affection and attention, engaging in playtime, providing companionship, and offering a comforting presence to ease any anxiety they may experience in their owner's absence.

About: I am an animal sheltering executive with over 25 years of experience with animal care and handling. I run two successful animal sheltering consulting firms and work from home so I am here 24/7 to take care of your pets. (I have two dogs that are both very social and friendly, as well as a rabbit who has his own secure cage and environment). I grew up with dogs in my house and have had dogs, cats and rabbits, so I consider my level of knowledge, care and handling to be very high. I work from home so I am here 24/7. Pets get to go outside quite regularly and my yard has a small natural grass area, as well as a patio. There is a pool and I do allow my dogs to go (supervised of course). I live close to three parks, each with LOTS of grass and green space. Dogs can get walked in one of those parks if they like the feel of grass under there feet or just want to explore the smells and sights (on a lead). I am also available to do home visits or check-ins on your pet throughout the day. There really is no limitation on the times I can visit. I kindly request that all dogs boarded at my home be crated at night. This practice helps prevent any damage to furniture or accidents in the house while I am asleep. If you do not have a crate, I am happy to offer rentals at a nominal fee: - $5 per night for stays of fewer than 4 nights - $4 per night for stays of 5 to 9 nights - A flat fee of $40 for stays of 10 days or longer. Additionally, I can occasionally accommodate boarding requests with less than 24 hours' notice, although a one-time fee of $20 will apply in those cases. Please note that other services booked within 24 hours may incur a fee of $5 to $10. Thank you for your understanding! Every pet and each situation is different so I adjust to what is needed for your pet. If your pet requires walks and interaction, that's what I will do. If your pet is low-key and just needs someone to come in and refresh food and water and talk to him/her, that's what I'll do. I can take of pets in my home, or your home - your preference based on schedule and cost. I'll work with you.

If that sounds like a question you find yourself asking, I’m here to tell you that Amber is the answer.”


Stephanie L.
