“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”


“Amy took excellent care of my 2 dogs for the weekend!! She was detail-oriented, professional, and followed all my care instructions. I felt at ease on my vacation, knowing that Amy was watching my dogs. <3”



“Brian took amazing care of our Reuben. He communicated as needed and sent picture updates which put us at ease while away- we will definitely be contacting him in the future if we need someone. Thanks so much Brian!!”


“Janice is amazing! She took such great care of our 2 Great Danes, our cat, and our home during our house sitting booking. She treated them with so much care and attention we were completely at ease during our trip. Thank you so much!!”


“Simon made our two dogs feel seen and loved. He went above and beyond with them. They took long walks together and spent quality time playing indoors too. I’m grateful to Simon for all he did. Highly recommend him.”


“Karla is a gentle and kind animal whisperer. Our pup was immediately calmed by her energy. From his daily med routine, to even feeding him by hand when he put up a “my humans are traveling fight” she cared for him with grace and love. AND we got daily pics.”


“Sophie cared for our very active Australian Shepherd puppy, cat, and our home with love, skill, and the highest level of professionalism. She was very responsive and eased my anxiety over leaving my boys with pictures and prompt communication. I trust her completely.”


“We had a great experience with Piper! She took amazing care of Ozzy while we were away for the weekend—stopping by a couple times a day, sending us sweet photo updates, and making sure he got proper walks (not just letting him out back). It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her!”

“Wow! Wow wow! Gaby was the best companion Kevin could ask for in my absence. She took time to get to know him, listened to all my paranoid instructions, sent regular photos and updates, and left my house completely spotless. Most importantly, I came home to a completely well fed, well exercised super chill dog who seems to have had the best week ever!”

About: I’m an artist living in a beautiful quiet space in Woodstock with a large yard and plenty of nearby places to hike and swim in the water holes. I had a rescue Wheaten Terrier for 11 years, who sadly passed in January due to a heart condition she had since she was 7 years old. I’m really great with rescues, and highly sensitive dogs. I know how to give medication and just generally vibe with what the dog needs. I’m highly intuitive and I find this to be my main asset as the dog always communicates its needs and wants, we just need to know how to listen. I love all dogs but unfortunately cannot watch ones that shed a lot due to allergies. I’m an artist, mostly working from my home desk or at a coffee shop. I love taking pets to the cafe, if it's an environment they are used to and comfortable with. Sometimes I will work at a cafe but I can make my schedule flexible given enough notice. I have a quiet spacious yard in Woodstock with lots of nearby nature paths. Each day I like to get out for a long walk in nature, and I also live right near a nature preserve that is walking distance from my home. It’s just me at home so it’s a calm relaxing environment.

About: Hi, I'm Marceline! Growing up with a wildlife rehabilitator for a parent, I was surrounded by animals from day one. From bottle-feeding baby raccoons to gently caring for injured birds, I learned early on the patience, empathy, and responsibility that animals deserve. That lifelong passion turned into a career of caring: I spent 4 years at a cat shelter, helping to socialize, medicate and find loving homes for many cats. Beyond that, I've volunteered extensively at Farm sanctuaries and animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and more!
