Top rated Wilson Heights house sitters

“Theresa is an outstanding dog sitter. The dogs love her so much, and she is wonderful interacting with them. She even tidied up the main floor of our house, which is above and beyond. She will definitely be my future number one choice.”


“Kelly was very easy to work with and we trusted her to stay at our house for over a week to take care of our two dogs. She followed the instructions we provided and took especially good care of our 25 year old dog who is on seizure medication. We will definitely use her services again the next time we have the need for a dog sitter. Thank you Kelly!”


“Taylor was very loving towards my girls and communicated very well while she stayed with my girls! 3 dogs can be overwhelming but she embraced it and I came home to happy girls after my trip!”


“Look no further for the perfect pet sitter. Kiera is absolutely wonderful! She treated my babies like her own and got our extremely skiddish previously feral cat to snuggle on her lap which is unheard for a stranger. She went above and beyond to provide care, with frequent pics and updates if you request that. We couldn’t be happier!”


“Brandi was an absolute delight to work with. You will be instantly at ease with her caring for your pets. She is thorough, kind, and it was amazing to come home from a trip to happy and relaxed animals. Brandi communicates so well by sending pictures and updates. Will be using her services again and again! Thank you Brandi?”


“Jason was extraordinary. Not only was he good with our pets during his house sit (2 cats, 1 VERY anxious dog), he cleaned up after himself, was there when he said he’d be, and even offered to take our trash to the curb so we didn’t miss trash day. He’ll be my first call for any future sitter needs.”


“Janel took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. She kept us informed, took him on walks and spent lots of extra time with him. Janel is very responsible and we were super comfortable having her in our home. I highly recommend!”


“Lark stayed for a week at our home and was so caring of our furry baby Kevin. Kevin's not always predictable and they made good friends with loving belly rubs, etc. She shared pictured throughout the week. We will definitely be calling her back to see if she can stay again when we plan our next trip! Thank you so very much!”


About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I’m stoked to start this journey. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow, I absolutely love them all. I have a 11 year old black lab, who’s slowed down a lot. She is my everything. She just can’t move like she used to and I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk. I understand these are your babies. My house is also open with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays like Thanksgiving(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** Also please note, I’m willing to travel to MO from IL side. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

“Jaelyn was terrific with my fur-babies. They all loved her so much! I would get home and Molly would be asleep in her lap, Charlie squished up between her and a blanket and Peanut within easy reach for a scritch here and there! Even Lucy, my miss independent would cuddle with Jaelyn! She would definitely be welcomed back to care for my littles.”


About: I am such an animal lover. I’ve grown up on a farm and I’ve been taking care of all animals since I could walk! I’m a healthcare worker just looking to fill up my extra time. I currently work 3 days a week. Mondays through Wednesdays. I’m looking to fill up my extra days off. Thursdays-Sundays! I don’t travel much so I’m always around. I have a rescue Aussie named Duke and he is in our unfenced yard with an underground shock collar. I’m in an area where walking trails are available! We love to play with our million toys and pond swimming. A good walk with all the sniffing needs to be done.

“Lette did an amazing job with house sitting and watching our Emma girl. During her stay she kept us updated and even sent some precious pictures of our Emma. She was in constant communication with us. We highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!”


About: Hi there! Thanks for reading my page. I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bunnies, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, snakes, and even horses! I have several years of experience with pet walking, quick visits and house-sitting for clients, coworkers, family and friends. Maximum time I've lived-in was 2 weeks, and most animals cared for at once was 7! (2 birds, 2 dogs and 3 cats.) I will pet-sit any age, any size, any breed. If you need your pet taken to the vet, groomer, or a friend, I have reliable transportation to do so. I'll even pick up supplies and food if you provide the payment for it, and if requested, I can sweep, dust, vaccum, and overall tidy up! I'd prefer working in a cleaner home, though this is not required. Happy pet, happy vet, right? :) (Note: I used to go by Cat, which is what people called me in the reviews, but I've changed it to Oliver!) I can't host any pets, but I love to visit your fur babies! Any needs they have, I'm happy to provide. I'm definitely a tidy person, and guarantee to leave your house as neat as possible. :) I’m a self-employed artist, and I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible. If you need me on short-notice, feel free to ask! I can usually make things work. As someone that tries to be as organized and as safe as possible, I can confidently say that I’ll leave your house just as tidy as it was when I arrived.

About: I am currently obtaining my masters degree in counseling from McKendree University with hopes to be a play therapist. I am also a collegiate cheerleader at the school. I have been working at Highland Primary for 3 years, as well as teaching private swim lessons for around 10 years now. I have had my own beagle named Bella for 10 years! I am very flexible with scheduling which gives me a lot of time to be able to come play with your dogs. I have volunteered at the local animal shelter in my hometown and have had lots of experience pet sitting. I’ve had dogs around my whole life and I would love to be able to play with yours!! Between the craziness, I do have flexibility during the week! Most evenings, weekends, and some mornings I am looking to care for your pet! I would love to help you out! I have a big yard that may have to be shared with my friendly beagle! I would love to be able to take your dog to the park, and if they are willing have a play date with Miss Bella! I would prefer to visit in your home for the comfort of the dog, but my door will be open if needed.
