“Nikoleta made me feel confident that my pet was in great hands. She is great at communicating regarding questions or concerns with your pets needs. She truly is an animal lover.”



“Having an excellent dog and house sitter like Cheryl makes our trip away from home much more enjoyable, knowing that everything will be safe and thoughtfully minded. Cheryl is very professional, friendly, considerate, and she took great care of our two Border Collies and our house. We both hope that she will be available the next time that we go away, as she will definitely be our first choice.”


“We’re so happy we found Elizabeth! Both our dog and our cat trusted her right away, and when we came back from our trip, they were both calm and relaxed. It gave us so much peace of mind to know they had company while we were away. She stayed at our home, everything was great with the house too, and we absolutely recommend her 🙌🏻”


“Jared came through for us when a previous Rover sitter bailed less than a week before our scheduled vacation which we had been planning for a year. He came over for a meet and greet within a day or two of contact. The pups really seemed to like him. We booked him and he showed up which was a great relief after being let down several times before from Rover sitters. We left him detailed instructions and our contact info if there were any problems or questions. He sent us a pic of the dogs when he arrived for the first day and was communicative throughout the stay. He took great care of the pups and was very respectful of our home. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a reliable sitter. We will use his services again.”


“Justin was great! He provided frequent updates and pictures, and even took my dogs to the dog park while I was gone. One of my dogs is blind and he was very attentive to her needs. I'd definitely book with him again!”


“Sarah was fantastic- she was flexible and able to hop in with my pup at the last minute, was super responsive, and did a wonderful and respectful job taking care of my 16 year old dog with special needs. Strongly recommended”


“Macie was so helpful with my dogs while I was out of state! She kept me closely updated regarding my old and chronically ill dog. She administered many meds and even went to the store to grab something for them. She was exactly what we needed for our week long trip, would definitely recommend!”


“I am so glad I found Monty to watch my dog Honeybun! They were a perfect sitter for him, he seems happy and very well cared for after my little trip and that means the world to me. Highly recommend Monty 😊”


About: Skilled pet sitter with 3 years of experience. I sincerely enjoy spending time with all animals and I strive to treat every cat or dog as if they were my own! Happy to help when and where I'm needed along with providing any critical care that may be required. Please know that I will gladly spoil your pet to the fullest extent (: I'm currently working part-time while also being in the Army National Guard! I tend to be free majority of the week and normally the weekends as well if I don't have drill. Please feel free to message me with any availability inquiries that you may have (: If boarding, I have a fenced in yard along with a spacious home that includes french doors that I can close off from the rest of my house in case I'm babysitting a small kitten or puppy that may require a watchful eye!

“Madelynn did a great job caring for our babies! She frequently sent us pictures, videos and updates, which we really appreciated. Each time she sent us pics and videos, our babies looked happy and relaxed. We are so grateful to her!”


“Look no further for your next dog sitter. On a last minute request, Nikki stepped up and took the best care of my dog over a long weekend. Nikki was extremely caring, thoughtful, engaging, and responsive, and I would highly recommend her for any other dog sitting jobs. After staying overnight for two days, she left my place (and dog) in better shape than she found it, and went above and beyond to provide the best care and service possible. She provided several photo and status updates of my dog while I was away, and it was clear that my dog was thoroughly enjoying her time with Nikki. Nikki has a very kind spirit and I couldn’t recommend her enough for future sitter opportunities.”


“Caroline was the consummate professional sitter for our recent vacation. I highly recommend her services. Caroline took great care of our pups in our home while we were gone, sending numerous pictures each day to let us know how they were doing. We could tell by their posture and demeanor they were happy and not stressed … which was our concern with leaving them with someone “new.” Caroline love the doggos and most importantly, they loved her! Additionally, Caroline took immaculate care of our home and had our place looking pristine upon our arrival home. I cannot be more pleased with her services! Use her!!! You won’t be disappointed!”

On weekend days schedule is flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I will ensure your pet’s safety and meet all their needs, whether that means crating them or providing close supervision—whatever keeps them comfortable and secure.

“Mindy is great! She was very communicative and kept our pups happy while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and kept us posted. She’s also a great house sitter, and did an excellent job tidying up before she left. We definitely plan to use her again.”


About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.

“Sonjia was quick to step in and help house sit my dog when my sitter fell thru last minute. I appreciated so much how thoughtful and detailed oriented she was. It gave me piece of mind to know my pup was in good hands!”


About: I've had many pet dogs and a few cats in my house since my childhood. I care deeply for animals and I'll do my absolute best to take care of others if I get the opportunity. I'm a dog owner and I have a very flexible schedule. I'm in pretty good shape and love to walk and run around with my Bella. I have a large fenced-in yard and I don't mind dogs in the house. My Bella is friendly and would love company sometimes. I can handle and care for your dog responsibly. I’m retired and like to stay active and I like spending time walking and staying fit so I walk when I can and I love doing it with my dog buddies. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around in, it’s safe and secure. My dog would like to get to know some other dogs.
