Jaymee was so kind to come for a meet and greet. She asked great questions and got all necessary information. During her drop-ins, she sent updates, photo and video. I felt safe and comfortable leaving my furball in her care. Will book many times again!

Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃

Zyaria is awesome! She is very responsive for questions and communicate very well about giving care of our pet. During her first visit, we had a little problem about getting inside of the house and she can't get hold of me because my phone wasn't on sight. She reached out to my bf and was very patient and helpful resolving the whole situation. My dog is a senior dog and requires some extra steps of care, and she handled it very well. I will definitely come to her for more care service in the future!

Amanda was excellent with my kitties again. Her attention to all the details of the house while she was present is amazing. She has continuously provided top notch service going above and beyond just taking care of the kitties, with keeping an eye on the house as a whole.

Samantha did a great job caring for our dog while out of town for a night! She took him on walks and played with him in the yard. It was raining and she took the time to dry off the dog before letting him back inside the house which was much appreciated!

Brandi has been great for daily drop-ins with my German Shepherd. I was nervous about having a sitter stop by because he is hesitant with new people and is still working on training, but he really likes Brandi and she is able to handle him. I appreciate Brandi communicates any changes to the time she is dropping by, if there are any issues, and always sends me a photo.

About: I have owned multiple dogs (Barnum, Tiara, Miles, and Peanut were my furry friends) from the time that I was two years old until I started college. I have also pet sat for friends many times throughout highschool. Those experiences gave me a deep understanding of the love and attention that dogs require. I love dogs and would be more than happy to help you care for your four legged furend when I am not in classes since I am a full time college student. I am patient, attentive, and exceedingly open to play time with your dog. It's my goal to make both you and your pet happy by walking, checking in on them, or staying with them. I'll follow any instructions I'm given. I also currently have 2 doggos of my own so I adore pets. I'm looking for ways to make extra money when not at work so any time I'm not working I'm available to help care for your furry family member Pets aren't just pets. They're family. I understand just how adored and important someone's pet is to them so I'll follow any care instructions and otherwise just make sure your fur baby is happy and feels comfortable and loved

About: I've had dogs my whole life! When I was younger, I had a Maltese/Yorkie dog growing up. Now, I have a Husky/German Shepherd named Shiesty and a Pitbull/Bull Dog named Pooh. So, I'm used to small and larger dogs! I currently work for a deli meat company, that requires me to travel around the Rockford / North Central Illinois, adding a stop wouldn't cause any issues for me! For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, safe, and on their usual routine while you’re away. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up any messes or litter boxes, and give them plenty of attention based on their personality, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some calm companionship.

Amanda stopped in to care for our furry “kids” yesterday. She did a great job of communicating with us while taking care of them. She even thought to leave the outside lights on for us as it would be dark when we returned home. Happy to say our search for a new pet sitter has had great results. We will not hesitate to book her again. Thanks Amanda?

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits and even reptiles since I was a little kid growing up in Madison, Wisconsin--we had cats, dogs, rodents and reptiles, often all at once. As an adult, I've kept and cared for cats of all kinds, including ones needing medical care / injections. I truly am a cat person but love all animals. I'm currently a consultant-based worker, so my free time is kinda plentiful. I like playing with and caring for animals, and as a home owner myself, I am very capable of watching and caring for a home while someone is away. I use gentleness and love and the owner's instructions to care for animals in their homes. Currently I don't offer pet boarding, but am great at drop ins for feeding / treats and potty breaks / litter box clean 'n refresh.

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, and have a passion when it comes to working with animals. Growing up, I have always had dogs and cats, and have also worked with horses and goats. I am extremely comfortable with all animals and have some experience looking after reptiles as well. I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 4 years and feel the knowledge and experience I gained there aids me in my ability to care for pets with their best interests in mind. I can administor oral and injection medications, perform animal first aid/cpr, recognize unusual behaviors/acute illness, care for elderly pets, medically dependant/complex pets, and also am able to work with behavioral pets who may struggle to connect with new people and/or are reactive to other animals. I pride myself on my ability to understand the individual personalities of each pet, and their specific wants/needs. I love working with animals and connecting with new pets and their families! I am extremely active and can keep up with your high energy pets! I also pride myself on staying in contact with families and sending lots of updates and pictures during walks/drop ins. I am currently working as an early childhood educator, and would love to build on my flexible schedule with pet sitting and drop ins! I am available afternoons and evenings, as well as the occasional early mornings. I am observant when it comes to caring for pets in a home. I get down and play with them, offer lots of love and pets, and I can follow instructions/guidelines for your pet in your home.

About: I have had dogs since I was born. My family has always had a dog. For 18 years, I had my own dogs. I’ve also watched friends and family member’s dogs. I will go to their houses and let their dogs out for them, walk them, etc. I work part time at a local elementary school as a TA. I only work 5.5 hrs a day, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard and a 10 year old that would love to play with your dog if I’m not! I can put them in a crate if need be. I’d love to take them for a ride too! If I go to your house, I will respect your property and your dog’s things.
