“Suzanne was so attentive to my fur baby. Zoey sure seem to love her when they met. She's very professional and friendly. Left me daily reports which I appreciated since I was over 1000 miles away on vacation. This is a handy app too. I was worried I would need cell service but the app worked perfectly with wifi too!”

About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d give my own. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your pets throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a unique personality. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Your pet will be treated like family with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care while you're away. I provide safe, attentive, and reliable care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits very well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and work in the gig economy. That allows me to plan my day around the pets I'm caring for, whether that means walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, or giving them extra attention and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals, and I make it a priority to provide reliable, consistent care while keeping owners updated along the way. Because I'll be caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care they need. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Empty nester with 1 dog in a relaxed atmosphere with lots of laughter and love. I have a 2 level home with 3 bedrooms and a basement. Your dog will enjoy our fenced in yard and his/her own space. I have lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and all ages. I value outdoor time when weather permits and your pet will get fresh air and exercise daily. I have a goofy Australian cattle dog mix named Lenny. I let dogs on the furniture, and provide lots of cuddles if your dog allows. I am a responsible person who sincerely loves dogs and taking care of them! I’m working but make my own hours so can accommodate varying schedules. Love to take long walks on weekends in my neighborhood or at nearby parks. I have a fenced in yard. I will keep the dogs separate. Your pet can sleep in a crate if he/she wants or on comfy pet beds - whichever works best.

About: I've taken care of and had dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I recently relocated to Chicago and lost my dog a little over a year ago at age 12 to natural causes. I'm very active into sports and take many walks daily. Throughout the year I like to foster dogs to help rescues with adoptions. I like to do a morning long walk 20 minutes or more before I go to work. Depending on what is needed for pet care, I have a pretty flexible schedule to do more than one potty break. After work I also like to do another evening walk if time allows and just to settle down for the night. I have a friendly dog community and do not mind walking multiple times to expend energy. The house is also very spacious for relaxation. If you allow furniture sleeping so do I. I'm flexible to what my clients would want from my in home stays. If I come to your house, naturally I would follow guidelines that your pet is typically used to.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who loves meeting new dogs and cats and helping them feel comfortable while their number-one person is away 🐾 I have two dogs of my own, including one who is high-strung and requires daily medication, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or special care. I also have experience with puppies, seniors, medications, special needs, leash-reactive dogs, and dogs who aren’t comfortable around other dogs. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be available for walks and drop-in visits. I also have a fenced yard and a family with 3 kids and 2 dogs, so I’m very accustomed to the fun, sometimes chaotic, and always rewarding world of pets! Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. Whether that means getting some energy out on a walk, having a little playtime, getting medications, or simply having someone there to give them attention and reassurance. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and give them the same patience, care, and attention I’d want for my own pets. 🐾 I am currently working full time remote. I am home and have a flexible schedule so I can visit your pet as needed! I can work around your schedule. I will go outside to play and spend time with your dog. I can monitor their play time in the back yard and make it fun. I can crate your dog before I leave if needed. I can take your dog on a walk if desired.

About: I specialize in long term homesitting and animal caregiving. I have worked with puppies, birds, horses, turtles, dogs, fish, and cats. Upon initial entries into your home please ignore your dog and speak calmly to me while leading us to where everyone involved can sit down as soon as possible. This helps put your dog at ease and will minimize their excitement, especially if they are younger and a jumper. For multi-day sits, give your dogs probiotics or rice water regularly days leading up to your departure to support the inevitable stress response that effects most dogs digestion. Please also ensure there is plenty of this to continue giving them this support while you are gone. I always really appreciate when clients ask me what food they can get me for when I stay in their home or welcome me to what they already have. I will bring in any packages left outside. I can handle a majority of last minute changes but expect them to occur with added fees. My safety and privacy is my top priority so I do not consent to you disclosing my stay any non-vital individuals, to being on camera or recorded while inside your home, or to allowing anyone on your property while I am there including non-emergency maintenance workers. I have full time availability to look after your home and animals. I have most of my experience working for families within my community and church. I will maintain requested household responsibilities, keep your animals safe and happy while you are away, and ensure your property is closely monitored to the best of my ability.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
