House Sitting in Yorkville

“Ky was great! I was very comfortable leaving my pets in her care, and she took great care of them. She communicated well, sent pictures off and on throughout our vacation. She left everything in good shape and the pets seemed well cared for when we got back.”

About: With over 7 years of hands-on dog sitting experience, I’ve cared for pups/kitties of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and medication administration (pills only) to overnight stays and longer holiday care. I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment that keeps their regular routine. Whether it’s fetch in the park or quiet cuddle time, I tailor care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. My schedule is open and flexible, which means I’m available for extended bookings, weekend getaways, *most* holidays, and all the in between’s. I’m here when you need me, morning, afternoon, or evening—no rigid time blocks, just dependable availability. Whether you’re heading out of town or working long hours, I’m ready to jump in with consistent, loving care. Pet parents can count on me to adapt to their routines and provide reliable service every day of the week. Safety and trust are the foundation of everything I do. I never leave dogs unsupervised in unsafe areas, and I only use the approved pups gear. I stay in close contact with pet parents, offering regular updates, pictures, and messages (if asked for) for peace of mind. With seven years of trusted pet care under my belt and a strong sense of responsibility, I treat your dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority.

“Overall things went well. Dogs were not stressed when we arrived home after she dogsat our three dogs for two nights. She also swept the floors before leaving (which is something we said she didnt need to do as we know the Huskys cause explosions). My only thing would be communication, the inital communication was great, I wish she had communicated a bit more for our meet and greet as she was late, which is fine as she was at work but I had to be the one to reach out to find out what was going on. I also wish there was inital communication upon arrival and final communication when leaving. Even an overall on how the dogs were/how things went when she left for the final time. The dogs seemed happy though when we returned and that is my biggest concern, and im sure is the same for others.”

“Michelle was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to ensure our nervous dog would be comfortable during her stay. She came over for multiple meet and greats prior to our trip, had amazing communication, and exceeded my expectations in every way!! I absolutely recommend Michelle for any of your pet care needs!!”

“Kya was great! I loved that she was familiar with my breed and was going to be around for him most of the day. Great communication and I absolutely loved that she printed off some photos of Chili for me that she took. Definitely rebooking!”

“Sam was great! Got back to happy dogs. She went above and beyond for us….getting our chickens food. Thanks Sam!”

About: Hello! I study Vet Science at UW Madison and have extensive experience in both dog and cat humane societies, kennels, and have had dogs my whole life and cats for 3 years now. My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I tend to work weekends at my families business but can change my availability based on how familiar I get with your pet(s). I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages! I love to engage with pets and learn their body language, I will always have a ball or stick while walking your dog, but also understand when they need a break. My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love. I have patience for both cats and dogs, and will watch carefully to not over pet, play, or initiate with shy animals. Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!

“Adrianne was a great pet sitter. She confirmed quickly and set up a meet and greet. My Cavapoo gave her hugs and kisses as soon as she arrived. He likes longer walks and she was awesome to explore nearby trails and parks with him. Adrianne is personable and professional.”

“Tami stayed with Millie for about 7 hours. She took her for several walks and I appreciated the picture updates of Millie's day. Highly recommend!”

“Brandi is outstanding, I highly recommend! She is always sweet and kind to both our adorable furry family members. Our two dogs are medium sized and one is extremely shy. Brandi is patient and always wins them both over with her special touch and love. Did I also mention how reliable she is? I am always grateful knowing she is at home with our dogs while traveling.”

“Joe was amazing with our 4 furry toddlers! We've never really went on vacation because of our dogs and fears of boarding our dogs. Joe sent nearly daily updates, some pics and videos of them having a great time without us. He's super responsive to messages and very patient with people and our crazy pack of 4. Thanks again for allowing us to have a worry free 1st vacation!”

“Kelly was wonderful!!! She took great care of our little cat Claire, who is an antisocial beast of 17 years. Kelly contacted us daily with pictures of our little girl, which eased my concern of leaving her. She was also able to connect with the beast, who has never bonded with other sitters, OK she hid from them or hissed and tried to attack them, trapping one sitter an a small hall way. Claire not only talked to Kelly she came out of hiding, which impressed both me and my husband. Thank you Kelly for all you did for Claire.”

“Diane took great care of our beagle while staying in our home. Our beagle was well adjusted when we returned and Diane sent pictures and communicated daily. Thank you.”

“Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!”

Lana M.

“I highly recommend Josh to stay with your pet! He stayed with my dog Diesel over this past weekend at my house. When I returned home Diesel was very happy and my home was in perfect shape. While I was away Josh sent several pictures of them taking walks together and playing together. They had lots of fun and Josh really focused on Diesel. I will definitely book him again when I need to be out of town.”

“We booked Jason for house sitting with our dog who has separation anxiety and does not do well in a boarding environment. Jason is great with our dog! Jason came into our house and our dog immediately migrated to him. Jason provided ample walks and gave our dog personalized attention. His wife Emily is also a dog sitter on this site and she has watched our dog too! She is also amazing! We will only be using their services for our dog! We love the husband and wife team!”

About: (I go by Dakota, so some testimonies might call me that) I started off pet sitting for neighbors when I was about 14. I would feed, let out, and walk the dogs, and feed and clean cat litter boxes as needed. I moved up to dog sitting for family friends, old coworkers, and coworkers’ clients about three years ago, where I would do the same, and even bathe dogs if needed. I have experience pet sitting rodents and reptiles as well! I am currently not working a job, so I have all the time to give your babies the love and attention they need and deserve! I have experience with body language in dogs, so I can always tell when your baby is happy, upset, or uncomfortable. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, no problem! I can take your fur baby on a secure leash outside!

“Cheyenne saved the day! We were A few days away from taking a week vacation and we lost one of our dogs. Our Rottweiler Riley was going to have to go to the in-laws, a place she is not comfortable with. Cheyenne jumped on board and stayed the week with Riley at our house and gave her all the love and attention she needed. Highly recommend Cheyenne!”
