“Andrew did a great job with updating us on how our pets were doing. Kratos seemed to enjoy his company. Overall very satisfied with his care and Andrew went above and beyond what we asked of him.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have spent the past few years helping care for all sorts of fur babies ! I’ve helped with dog walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m obsessed with all fur babies and I’m very comfortable handling all sizes and all breeds! We don’t discriminate😆 I am super accommodating! I love going on walks and how cute to have a little companion to get my steps in with! Over the years I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and love are when it comes to caring for animals. I always make sure every fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every single one like they’re my own.
“Tiffany did a wonderful job taking care of my anxious dog Churro! My house was spotless when I got home and she sent regular photos and updates, and handled his medication schedule too. He was happy and well cared for all week. Churro and I look forward to working with Tiffany again!”
“Donna and Steven did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Bentley. He is a challenging dog, but they handled his medication and difficult habits well. They kept us posted throughout their stay with texts and pictures, and we could see that our dog was having a good time! They were also very attentive to leaving our place clean, and even washed linens and towels before they left! We are grateful to have found them!”
“Keeley was an amazing sitter. Sent so many pictures and updates and truly just loved on our pet with cuddles, car rides and great walks and playtime. Left the house clean and tidy and was just a pleasure to work with. Will be rebooking her soon!”
“We have two large, high maintenance dogs and one is a puppy with some health concerns. Coty took great care of them! She even gave them their meds and special diets and all! We are going away again in a few weeks for 5 days and I'm so glad we can rely on Coty!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet and house sitter. When I first met Mer, she was clearly experienced and comfortable with Walter (he can come on a little strong since he loves visitors) but she wasn’t intimidated at all. Mer took the time to understand Walters routines and quirks (he has many) which immediately made me feel comfortable about trusting her with my big 90 pound baby. While I was away, we kept in touch so I knew Walter was well cared for. The photos looked like they were having a great time! Mer treated my home and my dog with kindness and respect, as if they were her own. I would definitely recommend Mer and will be booking her again next trip.”
“Kelso was great watching my 12-week old puppy for the day! I was worried because it was our first time leaving him with a sitter, and Kelso rally put us at ease and took great care of him. Would recommend and use again for sure!”
About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!
“I appreciated the willingness that Timothy had to care for our senior dog and his flexibility and compassion when he passed before our trip. He communicated his arrival and gave updates so that we knew our remaining cat and dog were okay. There is some room for improvement with keeping water bowls clean and tidying of trash. We appreciated that our pets were safe and seemed content when we returned.”
“Maddie was great! We first had a meet and greet, and we felt very comfortable leaving Deacon in her care. Maddie took Deacon on walks and sent pictures during her stay. We will definitely book her again!”
“Renee did AMAZING dog sitting while I was out of town. She sent me constant updates and pictures, and asked questions when she was hesitant about something, which was so reassuring. I can tell my dog LOVED her. Plus she left my place so clean which was very appreciated! Will definitely be booking many more times”
“Veronika is amazing!! We have an older dog who requires medication and she was wonderful with her. Sent us so many updates, pictures and videos. I think our dog was actually sad when we returned because Veronika was so good to her! Will definitely be using her again! 10/10!”
“Katie is a fantastic cat & housesitters. We could tell at our meet & greet that she was VERY attentive and responsive. Our home was in terrific shape when we returned home and the cats were happy. You can't go wrong with Katie. She's absolutely first rate!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, mostly chihuahuas and rescues, so I’m very comfortable with pups who need a little extra patience, reassurance, or understanding. My hands-on experience goes far beyond casual pet care. At Miami University, I was part of Paws for a Cause, where we helped train dogs to prepare them for working with children or future companion roles. This gave me a strong foundation in obedience training, reading body language, and supporting dogs with different temperaments. More recently, I’ve been volunteering with the Evanston Animal Shelter, working with dogs who have a wide range of behaviors and needs. There, I’ve assisted with medication administration, training sessions, enrichment, and helping nervous or high-energy dogs feel more comfortable and confident. I’m also on a path toward becoming a Physician Assistant, which adds to my calm, attentive, and health-focused approach. I’m comfortable managing routines, monitoring for changes, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. Overall, I bring a mix of lifelong experience, formal training exposure, shelter work, and genuine love for dogs of all personalities. Your pet will be treated with patience, structure, and plenty of affection. I work full-time as a medical scribe during the day (9–5), so evenings, weekends, and holidays are when I’m most available for pet care. During those times, I’m fully focused on your pet’s needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. My schedule outside of work is very flexible, so I can reliably fit in consistent visits or longer stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, crate routines, and any training cues you use. I take time to get to know your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries so they feel safe and relaxed. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and calm companionship, and I always keep water fresh, watch for behavior changes, and send regular updates so you feel connected. If I’m hosting in my home (or doing extended stays), I make sure pets have a quiet, clean space to settle in, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and a consistent routine. Safety is a top priority, doors secured, no access to anything unsafe, and lots of supervised time. Whether I’m in your home or mine, your pet gets patient, reliable care with the goal of making them feel comfortable, understood, and well-loved.
About: Hi, I’m Daniel 🐾, a student and animal lover who speaks English and Spanish. For me, every dog and cat is part of the family, and I love providing them with personalized love, attention, and care. I have experience with energetic puppies like my dog Camila, dogs with limited mobility like my own dog with degenerative myelopathy, senior pets, special needs dogs, and cats of all personalities. I make sure to follow their routines and preferences so they feel happy, calm, and fully cared for while you’re away. Every furry friend receives patience, love, and constant attention, because their well-being is my top priority. ❤️ As a student, I can dedicate time to caring for your pet with attention, responsibility, and commitment. I enjoy carefully following owners’ instructions to ensure that every need of your pet is met, providing safe, affectionate care tailored to their routine while you are away. Whether in my home or your pet’s, I provide safe, attentive, and fully personalized care, carefully following the owner’s routines and instructions. Every furry friend receives love, patience, and constant attention, ensuring they feel happy, calm, and well cared for at all times. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.”
“Mads stayed in our home for 9 days with our two dogs and did a great job! She was loving and attentive to our pups, always answered my texts immediately and sent pictures and updates every day. It made a world of difference to have the peace of mind she gave us. Thanks, Mads.”

Savannah and Courtney did a fantastic job taking care of our senior cat Delphi who needs oral meds twice a day. I loved getting pictures throughout the stay, communication was prompt, and it’s clear how much love they have for animals. Our house was in perfect shape when we returned too. I will absolutely reach out for petsitting again soon.
Rosy and Josh were excellent house sitters. They were great communicators with frequent updates on how Izzy was doing. They definitely gave her lots of love and attention while we were out of town. We could tell when we got back home that she was very comfortable with them and had a good time. We will definitely be asking them to house sit again for us. Thanks!
Highly recommend Raquel! She took great care of my dog for 6 days while we were out of town. My preference is to have someone come to our house but not necessarily stay overnight. Raquel stuck to the schedule and made sure Arlo had plenty of play time. We came home to a happy pup!
We had a great experience with Alex. She took wonderful care of our 8-pound poodle Quincy - who is a little nervous and doesn't like being alone, especially when we are gone! Alex provided regular walks, attentive care, and did a fantastic job adapting to all of Quincy’s little quirks, which showed how thoughtful and experienced she is. Quincy was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable the entire time. Alex was reliable, respectful of our home, and maintained excellent communication throughout the week, giving us real peace of mind with regular updates. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter.
Emily is so sweet, kind, attentive, and creative! She has cats of her own, so I knew she would do well with caring for my kitties! She did a meet and greet and really took her time. She was so sweet to send me daily reports with many pictures which I really appreciated! She would carve out in their litter box litter a special "emoji" every day, kitty related of course! I would highly recommend Emily for any of your fur baby sitting needs!
Rebekah stayed over night at my house with my dog Jax. She let me know when she arrived and communicated with me via text and pictures throughout the stay. When I returned home, Jax was happy and healthy. I will definitely hire Rebekah again should I need a pet sitter.
Caitlin stayed overnight with our 10 yr old Boxer Mix and 1.5 yr old Bernese Mountain Dog while we had a staycation in the city. She was super easy to communicate with and everything went very smooth. She left the house clean and the dogs were happy when we returned. Would definitely recommend her!
