“Kerri is extremely flexible and wonderful with our pup. She is patient and kind. Our pup is the happiest to see her! She is definitely our go-to person to entrust our pup’s care !”

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats. I volunteered at the SPCALA animal shelter for several years, helping care for animals of all ages and personalities. I grew up with two cats and have also fostered pets, giving me experience helping animals adjust to new environments. I had a beloved dog who lived into her 20s, and my family recently foster-failed our newest dog. After recently moving to the area, I'm away from my dog and definitely missing having animals around every day. Caring for pets brings me so much joy, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care that I've always given my own. I am currently on summer break from my teaching position and working remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Because my work is portable, I can be available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship during hours when many sitters may be unavailable. My schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care rather than just quick check-ins. As a teacher, I am responsible, patient, detail-oriented, and comfortable following routines, all of which translate well to providing dependable care for your pets. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood near a lake, which provides a great environment for walks, exercise, and enrichment. Potty breaks are easy and frequent since I live on the second floor with quick access outside. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, feeding according to their schedule, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I am happy to follow any instructions regarding routines, medications, exercise, training, or special care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect and care that I would my own.
“Tanya was fabulous, very caring, easy to communicate with and very responsible. She sent beautiful pictures showing how comfortable my cat Luna was. Luna is usually around family members so I wasn't sure how she would be but Luna very happy and she took to Tanya right away. My plane was cancelled at the last minute and Tanya was still able to rearrange her schedule to drop in and care for Luna. I am very thankful to have had Tanya care for Luna! I will definitely want to have her come again.”

Having owned over eight dogs and cared for more than 20 animals, I have a deep understanding of their needs. • Senior Dog Expertise: I provide specialized care for senior dogs, ensuring their comfort and attention. • Puppy Training Proficiency: I can effectively train puppies, creating a fun and engaging environment. • Passionate Animal Lover: Every pet receives personalized attention and love, making them feel at home. • Holistic Approach: I focus on the overall well-being of pets, ensuring a well-rounded care experience.

I’m dedicated to helping you with your pets, providing the attention and care they need while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or special care, I’m here to support you and your furry friends. I focus on providing a nurturing environment for your pets right in their home. I can easily crate your pet if needed, ensuring their safety and comfort. However, I prioritize playtime and lots of attention to keep them happy and engaged. My goal is to maintain their routine while giving them the love and care they deserve.
“We can’t say enough good things about Yuzhou! She has been absolutely amazing with our dogs—so caring, patient, and attentive. Our pups are always sooo excited to see her and come home happy and well-exercised after every walk. We also love the detailed updates she sends after each visit—it gives us such peace of mind knowing the boys are so well cared for. Yuzhou truly treats our pups like family, and we feel so lucky to have her!”
“James is the best!!! Very communicative, provides full run through of activities and behaviors during the visit. He is very loving to the dogs and takes lots of photos and videos! Will 100% book again.”
About: For the past few years now I’ve been a dog sitter for my family and friends, walking, playing, feeding, and cleaning up after them I can house sit, dog walk, and do drop in visits, Any time of the day Mondays to Fridays, And weekends if needed anything works. I get to learn pets usually routine. How many times a day to walk them, when and how to feed them, and their bed time.
“Gina is awesome! She was flexible with her schedule and patient with me. She is so friendly and was very good with my 9 week old puppy. Will definitely work with her again, thank you Gina!!!”
About: Since I was a kid, I was obsessed with dogs. I watched a lot of shows and read books about dogs. Rescuing my dog in 2016 changed everything — he showed me how to listen, observe, and understand what dogs are really saying. That's the level of attention and care I bring to every dog I look after. I'm a mostly remote full-time employee, so I can be pretty flexible if your pet needs a check in for attention or a walk and a potty break! When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the established routine as closely as possible - feeding times, walk schedules and any specifics that the pet is used to. If a dog is allowed off-leash, I make sure all doors/gates are closed and secured. I pay attention for any changes in appetite, energy, or behavior and report them to the client promptly. I enjoy taking photos of pets, so I will also send photo updates! I also keep the place clean and respect any areas that are off-limits.
“I HIGHLY recommend Courtney! I am very particular about my dogs, and she took such great care of them. I will absolutely book her again. One of my dogs is very skeptical about new people but loved Courtney immediately. Both my dogs take medication daily (one twice daily), and this was no problem.”
“Charlene took wonderful care of our cat. She was professional, trustworthy and kind. Because of her we felt so confident going on vacation knowing that our kitty was so well cared for.”
“Sanela is a very responsive cat sitter and goes above and beyond. Our cat seemed ok at initial meeting but for the second visit our cat Beans was mean toward Sanela. It’s unfortunate but cats are cats, Sanela still stayed and gave her treats and shared photos.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes and with all different needs! I am patient and have the ability to work with senior or higher-need dogs, as well as the energy to play with puppies. I’m currently in graduate school online and will be working as a substitute teacher, so I’ll have lots of time to take care of your pets! I care for pets according to owner instructions as well as their needs. Pets are family, and I work with pets with the knowledge of this. I also treat owner’s homes with respect and leave everything as I found it.

We recently moved to a new apt and needed a new sitter for our 10 year old kitty. Carol did a great job with her in all ways. Carol kept her routine and spoiled her the way we do. Our cat was relaxed and well taken care of by Carol. Highly recommend her pet services.
Sanela was amazing! We have a super high energy young cat that needs a lot of play and she did an excellent job in playing with him until he was out of energy. She also did a great job with our older kitty who is all about his special morning soup! We are so happy we picked her and despite the older one not liking many people, he loved being around her immediately. And, even would pose for their daily photo shoot with her, they love her! She is a cat whisperer and we would 110% book again. She also has very reasonable prices for services which is great for our longer trips. And, very respectful of our house rules which is appreciated. Thank you, Sanela! The kitties thank you, too!
Galina was incredibly helpful and accommodating with the booking process! She left our place exactly the way it was and followed all the care instructions for my cat perfectly. She also made sure he got plenty of much-needed playtime while I was away and sent a ton of cute photo updates! I will definitely book Galina again in the future.
Thanks Haley for taking such good care of our cat while we were gone. Haley sent photos every day, when we got home, we saw she even washed our cats foot bowl, no litter left in the house. My daughter was so happy to see our cat picture every day, it made her day.
Nina was a fabulous drop in for my cat. She took great care of him, adapting to his needs, and managing the litter box, trash, and recycling. She even carefully cleaned up after him when he had a digestive glitch as cats sometimes do, without complaint and with genuine concern for his well being. Drop in photos were a delight and made me feel he was happy and comfortable. I trust her and will definitely book her again.
