21. Paula K.

“Paula did a great job watching our two cats! She sent lots of pictures each day and was great at communicating! I felt bad I kept bothering her with little tasks because the cats would push things over or turn things off but she never had an issue with anything!”


22. Vivian P.

“Vivian is punctual, responsive, and most importantly great with dogs.”


23. Jason A.


“Jason is great with our pups so we hired him for a week stay…”


24. Ankur G.

“My puppy loves Ankur! When I got home the puppy had clearly had a wonderful day and was sleeping off a good play session.”


25. Allison P.
“Allison has been my go-to dog sitter for over a decade. She's reliable and friendly, and more importantly, she loves my dogs a ridiculous amount. And I'm pretty sure my dogs love her more than they love me! They freak out with joy when she comes over, which is a huge comfort when I'm leaving my dogs in somebody else's hands. She even manages to get medicine down the throat of my sixteen-year-old basset/husky, which I have trouble doing myself.”


26. Malik P.
“I have left Malik with my pet before many times and there has never been any type of anything in the wrong when I have gotten home. The care he takes of his own dog is remarkable, and if he lived a little closer, I would ask him to watch my pet every time I need it.”


27. Brittany A.
“Brit is an excellent pet caregiver. She has lived with pets her whole life and we always turn to her to watch our dog and two cats when we are out of town. She is our pet expert now, having worked in the petcare industry. I am 100% recommending her and know you will feel the same.”




28. Alexandra S.

About: I grew up with 3 Goldens so I have plenty of experience and skills with different ages and energy levels! I will take your dogs on long scenic walks to parks and on different trails, and I am able to run them if that is something they like to do. I have also been a sitter for 4 Paws for Ability which is a service dog in training program, therefore I have skills pertaining to all different breeds and personalities. My calendar is very flexible so I’m happy to take care of or watch your pup any time - short or long term. They can stay with me or I can go to them! I have my own home which they are welcome to wander around and make themselves comfortable. I live in a residential area so your dog will be very safe with me!


29. Olivia V.

“Amazing job!!! My cats loved her, and she followed all instructions. I’ll definitely book again if I go out of town!!!”




30. Kristin H.

“Wesley, my 95 pound lab and Dexter my 28 pound Puggle mix have vacationed twice the past two months at Kristin H's AdventureDog. We love her families caring home and her commitment to my dogs needs while I'm away. As a stay-at-home Mom, Kristin is able to spend almost all her time with her clients dogs spoiling, loving and exercising them on a farm, at the beach and a local forest preserve or in her sizable fenced in grass lawn. There is also an extra bonus, the other family members, her husband, two sons and foreign exchange student all take part in the loving and spoiling. If you are looking for a loving, compassionate, caring home, I recommend Kristin's AdventureDog. I rate her services AAA+ and my dogs can not wait for their next stay.”


31. Viviana F.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I've raised two German shepherds. Unfortunately, they have both passed now. But I would walk both of these larger dogs, whether they pulled or not. I also still have a 9 year old cat who loves naps and cuddles. However, he is still back home with my parents. In my childhood, I had a cat named Oreo who was grumpy and didn't enjoy pets, so I can handle pets who don't enjoy physical touch as well. Additionally, I volunteer at the C.A.R.E animal shelter on Monday nights from 6-9 PM. Although I am still in college, I try to schedule all my classes on two days of the week. So, I will be readily available to take care of your pets on three days of the week. Currently I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays! I also have a part-time job that will require me to work every other weekend. However, I can always look to change my schedule if it is desperately needed. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will also provide fresh water during each visit. Additionally, I will send photos and updates to ensure your dogs safety and health. Plus, I will make sure they get plenty of playtime!


32. Myriam B.
“Myriam is a loving, responsible person who would take great care of your animal friend. She is a lover of all of God’s creatures, especially dogs. She cares deeply for her own dog, and has experience caring for other dogs. She is a woman of integrity and wisdom. Your beloved friend will enjoy the time with Myriam!”


33. Peyton B.

“Super responsive and sent lots of pictures of our pup during her visit!”




34. Nancyanne S.

“Nancyanne was terrific with our cat Kate while we were away on a long weekend trip. She stopped in as scheduled to check on her and provided us with very cute photos on each visit. It was reassuring to know she was in good hands while were were away. Thank you, Nancyanne!”


35. Maria G.
About: Since the pandemic I adopted my little doggie Luna, during all those months of insulation she was (still is) the best way to feel love, energetic, and warmth. I like to walk long distances, work on basic training and playing games. My Luna is now 4 years old and I have seen her growing up have babies doggies. It’s been a beautiful experience. I would love to have more doggie friends. I currently work in the mornings so I have plenty time in the afternoon - evening to meet new pets, walk with them and play I live in a building apartment and only is allowed to have one pet, but I’m happy to visit your pet and keep them safe and happy in their own environment.


36. Marisol L.

“Marisol took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. She is very responsible and communicated often to let us know how he was doing. I would highly recommend hiring her!”


37. Camila V.

“Can’t say enough good things about Camila. Quick to respond to my request, flexible to setup a meet and greet, great with the dogs, sent pictures and was very informative about how they were doing and arrived within the agreed upon appointment time. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again.”


38. Nik H.

“Nik takes excellent care of his pups. He takes them on long walks, and plays ball with them at the dog park. They're joyful, healthy, and well trained dogs. My pup is always very excited for play dates with Nik and his pack, she comes home happy and exhausted. There are few people I'd trust to watch my pup, and Nik is one of them. His attention to detail, kind nature, and patience will put your mind at ease, you can trust that he will keep your pet safe and happy. I highly recommend Nik as your next sitter!”

40. Bailey C.
About: I have always had pets of every size. From small cats to large livestock, I can provide care for all types of pets no matter the kind or size. You can be sure your pets are in the care of someone who has seen it all, and loves them all I am currently between jobs, which means I am well suited to accommodate most schedules. After 9am works best if you are further than walking distance, but arrangements can be made. I have one small cat that gets along well with other animals. When taking care of others pets, I treat them with the same care I give my own. I will follow any rules or requests the owner has for their pets and provide for them to the best of my ability.
