“Provided exceptional care and patience with our shy dog. We also appreciate regular updates and photos of our pet while we were away from her during the holidays!”
“This was our first time using Rover and our experience was awesome! Theo came for a meet and greet so our pups could see how dog friendly she is. They loved her immediately. Theo’s communication and updates with photos were amazing and allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely request Theo again and again.”
“Gianna was absolutely amazing with my 2 wild dogs! She came to meet them to ensure she would be a good fit, and she communicated every step of the way! I received updates and pictures while I was gone and I came back to a spotless home and happy dogs!”
“Becky was wonderful! She went above and beyond, followed all instructions, sent frequent updates/pictures, and left the house very clean. She really eased my anxiety of leaving my dog for extended trips. 10/10 recommend!”
“Nancy provided extraordinary service to our family. She drove to our RV to meet our Jack Russell Terrier, Missy, and stayed with her for hours while we enjoyed a coastal bike ride. Missy requires special attention due to her age and medical conditions, and Nancy went above and beyond to lovingly care for her. When Nancy visited a second time, Missy was excited and happy to see her. You will not be disappointed if you choose Nancy for your next pet sitting assignment.”
“Fawn has been a complete lifesaver! I didn’t know what to do as I had booked a long trip and then found out that my dog was pregnant. She not only took care of my dog but her 11 puppies as well and was there for them in the most thorough and considerate way. She kept in touch with me daily. Sent me updates. Communication was great and she was accommodating in more ways than I could’ve imagined. I would highly suggest her to anybody in need and trust her with my dogs more than I do myself. She is absolutely amazing!”
“Jayden did a great job with our rowdy pack. He was reliable, attentive, and made sure they were well-exercised and happy. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely hire Jayden again and highly recommend his services”
“Sidney did a great job of caring for my 2 dogs and one aged cat. One of my dogs is diabetic requiring insulin injections, daily eye drops and oral meds and she handled all of it. She kept in touch daily with photos and texts, and I especially appreciated that she did not hesitate to contact me if she had a question. To top it off, she left our home clean and orderly, just the way we left it. She exceeded our expectations!”
“Ruby stayed in my home while I was out of town for work. She took amazing care of my pups, python, and plants while I was away! Came home to a clean house and happy critters, will definitely book with her again!”
“We greatly enjoy having Rachael over. Our dogs are always so happy and cared for. We get updates and sweet photos of their fun times. Highly recommend Rachael due to her caring nature and attention.”
About: Helping and caring for animals has been my passion ever since I was little. However, my journey towards fulfilling this dream didn’t start until I graduated high school. It was then that I began volunteering at a pet rescue shelter and a wildlife rehabilitation center in Illinois. I especially enjoyed volunteering at the pet rescue shelter. Helping cats and dogs has always been my utmost passion. I was such a familiar face when I volunteered at the pet rescue shelter, that they hired me on the spot when I asked them if they were hiring. This was one of my favorite jobs I ever had. Being able to care for these precious animals was one of my most rewarding life experiences. This job gave me ambition and helped solidify my dream of going to school to be a veterinarian. When I worked at this pet rescue shelter, my goal was to ensure that each and every animal's time at the shelter was as happy and stress free as possible. That being said, the hardest part of the job was not having enough time in the day to spoil 40-50 animals. I wanted to do it all! But I did my best to give each and every animal the physical and emotional enrichment that they needed and deserved with the time I was given. This included long walks and playing fetch with the hyperactive dogs. The dogs that were well socialized were put in the backyard with other dogs to play. I also made sure to give cuddle time with the friendly cats and dogs that really loved people. Along with spoiling these animals, I acquired a lot of experience working with cats and dogs that were aggressive and/or anxious due to their previous living situations, prior to arriving at the shelter. Due to these circumstances, I made sure to assess each animal individually. This is something I carry with me to this day. I never assume an animal's boundaries, regardless of if they have a previous bite history or not. I am also very comfortable with reading an animal’s body language. This includes de-escalating situations when an animal is fearful or upset. Along with working at a rescue shelter, I have 4 years of experience working as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic and a year of experience as a veterinary receptionist. While I am not a doctor yet and cannot diagnose anything, I am happy to give you general advice on your pet’s health. Your pet’s happiness and health is my number one priority! I hope that this short bio convinces you that your pet will be in great hands. I am very experienced working with animals as it has been my life passion. Your pet will be cared for as if your pet was my own. My hours are very flexible. If you have any questions about a specific time, please feel free to message me. I look forward to hearing from you. The comfort and safety of each animal is something I take very seriously. Your pet will be loved and cared for as if they were my own.

Sara communicated with us regularly while were away. And sent us such cute pictures!! We will definitely book her again for future trips.”
“This our first time using this type of service and we were so fortunate to choose Julie to watch our fur and shell babies. She house sat for us for 5 days/4 nights while we were in Mexico and not only is she very dependable and trustworthy, she also genuinely cares about the pets she's caring for. Julie sent us photos and updates everyday as well as stayed in constant communication. She asked if she could bring 2 of her dogs over to meet our German Shepherd and they got along great! Even my cat came out to socialize. I can't say enough about Julie. I felt very comforted that she was here and I was able to enjoy our trip stress free! I highly recommend Julie and she will be our regular house sitter from now on. Thank you Julie... you're the best!”
“So my colonel is kinda a pain in the behind. Shelby was there for him when I wasn’t. She took amazing care of him and me considering I don’t leave him with people very often. Just an amazing human being and so thankful she was with my fur child when I couldn’t be.”
“Brittany was great. Very knowledgable and aware that all dogs are a little different and have their own quirks. She watched Eames and Doris, our 2 greyhounds, while we were out for an afternoon. Would definitely reach out to Brittany in the future for dog house sitting.”
