“Emma is the best! Bailey loves her and she took great care of him”
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been an important part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese poodle, and helped take care of her as she grew into her senior years. Most of my family members have dogs, and we consider them as family, not just pets. Within the last year, my husband and I got a new puppy, and I'm adoring being a dog mom! With this in mind, don't be afraid to ask if I'm willing to watch your young puppy. Age is not a problem for me, and I am happy to come alongside your training process if you wish. I guarantee that your fluffy friend will be in the best of hands as you come to me for your pet-sitting needs. I will be sure to offer frequent photo updates and check-ins, and my puppy would love to come with me as I care for your pet, providing them with a new fluffy friend! I would love to make quality pet care my part-time job this summer, so I am happy to work with your schedule. I am available any day of the week except for Sundays. My routine with my own pup includes lots of exercise (to get that puppy energy out) and snuggle time too. However, I am happy to cater to your dog's age and stage of life. While walking your furry friend, I will be extra mindful and only take them on routes I know are trustworthy and safe. In your home, you can trust me with all of their needs and to be respectful of your family's space. I will send frequent updates and photos of your pet, and will do my very best to blend in with your pet's pre-established schedule, so their needs will be more than met.
About: I am an animal science student with a concentration in animal behavior and wellbeing. In the agricultural community, I raised and showed an award winning rabbit. Last semester, I was an animal care intern at Columbian Park Zoo. I have nearly a decade experience working in pet care. In addition, my family fosters animals. I am seeking employment in pet care to fill my spare time with a furry companion. I have a flexible schedule in the morning and evening during the week. I am available Thursday-Sunday for weekend stays. When I was in third grade, my family opened our home to foster animals. Throughout the last 11 years, we have cared for animals with parvo, double ear infections, malnourishment, etc. The foster organization trusts us to nourish these animals back to health and prepare them for their forever homes. When I visit client homes, I spend quality time with animals providing them with enrichment. I pride myself on reliability, my clients trust and depend on me to care for their beloved pets. In addition to my experiences, my coursework focuses on animal behavior and wellbeing which helps enhance my services.
“Jeff was lovely and extremely kind! He took great care of our boys and was easy to communicate with. We appreciate everything he did and highly recommend!”
About: I had a Boxer (Lola) for 7 years until she passed away from a heart condition. I trained her myself and she was the most behaved boxer. Even with all her energy Lola still listened to my commands. I live with one American bully and one pit-bull right now and they are always crawling on me wanting pets and love. I love giving animals the attention they need and deserve. I’m currently a pilot for a major airline and looking to play with pups on my off time. I’m available most days. I can do overnights too. I can be available whenever is convenient for you as I can adjust my work schedule as needed. I care for my pets by giving them lots of love and attention. I feed them the best food, good healthy treats, bathe them regularly.
About: Hello! I'm Heather, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver. I grew up with three amazing dogs who were truly part of the family, and they taught me the joy, responsibility, and unconditional love that comes with pet companionship. These days, I’m a proud cat mom to three wonderful kitties—and I’ll admit it, I’m very obsessed with them! I’ve also had hands-on experience caring for up to three dogs at a time, ranging from small to large breeds. Whether it's playtime, walks, feedings, or just giving them some extra love and attention while you're away, I’m confident and comfortable managing different needs and personalities. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I’d love to be that person for you. I treat every animal in my care like one of my own—with love, patience, and lots of pets! Let’s chat about how I can help keep your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I am currently a stay-at-home housewife, so I have open availability to care for your pets. I previously worked as an elementary school teacher, but "retired" super early last year. I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and any other little quirks or preferences they have. I'm also confident in picking up waste in the yard or cleaning up litter boxes.

“Melissa was very thoughtful with my very timid rescue and my home. It was clear she was dedicated to him, and it was very appreciated! I would recommend her for any dog, especially for a dog who needs calm and understanding.”
About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!
About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 11-12 years old until I was 16 and then she sadly passed away and we got a new dog and I’ve been taking care of her for 3 years. I also have experience taking care of cats I absolutely love cats. And I have experience taking care of rabbits I currently have one I take care of a rabbit and a large dog all the time. I know both need lots of love and lots of play time and attention I will listen to your pets. When they need to go out, when they need to eat, when they want to play, or cuddle. In my home I will make sure they have food and water and I will make sure they go out every 2 hours or so. If they are a larger dog they can play with my puppy she absolutely loves to play. I will also take them for a walk. At the clients home it will be the same and if I can take their animal to the dog park I will do so and let them play I know they also love playing with other animals and not always just with humans

12. Olivia W.
“Olivia has watched our two beagles many times ! She is kind and caring when it comes to our needy dogs. We get updates and pictures ! She is understanding and responsive when we constantly message her. We know the dogs are in great hands ! She walks them, stays the night with them so they are not alone , and makes sure to give them extra pets and love while we are away. She’s very responsible and timely. She never leaves them on their own for long. The house is always very tidy and neat when we return ! She goes above and beyond with her duties. She takes care of our pool, flowers, mail, etc. I’d certainly recommend Olivia to pet sit ! I’d be happy to answer any questions anyone has in regards to Olivia house and pet sitting.”

“Knowing he had a dog he loved more than anything and seeing how he is with my baby girl (American Bully), I’m confident Taylor is the right choice to love and take care of your fur babies!

15. Heather D.
“Heather has cared for my cat, Lily, on many occasions. She has a kind voice and a gentle presence and my kitty trusted her without hesitation.

I have already asked her to pet sit for my cat and my boyfriend’s dog when we go out of town for a week. I trust her with my pet and on my home.”
16. Samantha M.
“Samantha is one of the friendliest and kindest person I know! She is reliable, consistent, and has so much love to give to any and all pets. It's clear that she not only loves animals, but understands their needs. Samantha has a beautiful fenced in back yard for all the fur babies to run and play in. When you entrust your pets with Samantha, you can rest assured that they'll be treated as if they were her own whether it's ensuring they get their medications, exercise, or cuddle time. I can’t say enough about Samantha and her beautiful heart.”
17. Muhammed K.
“I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!”
18. Melissa S.
“Melissa was very thoughtful with my very timid rescue and my home. It was clear she was dedicated to him, and it was very appreciated! I would recommend her for any dog, especially for a dog who needs calm and understanding.”
19. Kelsey B.
“Kelsey has watched my cat Luna and my dog Lollipop on several occasions. Lolli is an extremely active dog who needs to be walked multiple times per day and requires lots of play time. Kelsey does an amazing job making sure these needs are met. Luna is a grouch who refuses to poop in the litter-box and has a biting problem, but this doesn't phase Kelsey! She is truly a rock star and my first choice for all my pet watching needs.”
