Sara
Providing Pet Sitting in the Pekin, Illinois
Responsible, clean, respectful sitter(s) for ALL animals here!
We had just Sara stay to look after Mila our large German shep. Mila can be quite anxious but Sara really knew how to handle her :) Unfortunately we were delayed getting home and thankfully She was flexible enough and stayed an extra night to make sure Mila was cared for. It really took the stress off the situation! Sara and Mila got a long very well and it seemed she had a real soft spot for her. The house was left tidy and clean. Thanks so much Sara!!

Warmhearted homeowners would love to take care of your home and pet family
Sarah was such a gem! My pup Rhu was so well taken care of while I was away - lots of cuddles and exploring the city. My home was left cleaner than when I left. Can’t wait to have her back again!

Sarah and Scott: healthy, active and retired couple who love animals and travel
I really appreciate Sarah and Scott as my zeewoi! They are great people and do a great job taking care of not only the pets, but the house as well! This is my second time to use them and would be very comfortable using them everytime I go somewhere.

A teacher who wants to visit beautiful places and feel like a local.
Trisha was fantastic and took great care of our Boogie. When we came home our house was spotless and Boogie was very content. We would love it if she ever came back again!

Park Ranger Who Loves Pets
She did a great job of caring for Tuk. When we got home he acted as if we really hadn’t been gone which really demonstrates how well he was cared for while we were gone. She left our home tidy and Tuk happy. She was able to come the night before and was able to get to see our dogs routine prior to our leaving which was a great help. She was even willing to accommodate an unexpected showing of our home while we were gone. All in all a great sit!

Experienced sitters want to become your pet's best friend and your peace of mind
Where to start! Eric & Theresa were wonderful from the moment we had our first video call right up until after we got home. Getting an international sitter can always be a bit nerve wracking (they are from the US and we are in the UK) but they made the whole process a breeze. They ensured that they got to the UK the day before so that there was ample time in case of any delays and the whole thing went so smoothly. They had a lot of great questions which showed us that they genuinely cared about the sit and it filled us with confidence. They were communicative throughout the sit, sharing photos and updates on their daily adventures which was so lovely. It was clear that the boys loved them and took to them immediately- they didn’t even seem that sad when we left as they were already settling with their new best friends! Our neighbour has also since commented on how lovely they seemed and how clear it was they adored the dogs which was so heart warming. When we got home, they had left us a very kind note which we really appreciated and the house was beautifully clean with the sheets and towels all cleaned etc. We would 10/10 recommend Eric and Theresa for anyone looking for the perfect sit, both locally and internationally!
Jill
Providing Pet Sitting in the Pekin, Illinois
Energetic 50 year young couple
Jill and Dan were brilliant. A really delightful and thoughtful couple. Took the best possible care of our elderly dog, organised their lives around her needs, gave her her medication, sent us regular updates on how she was, couldn't have done more. AND looked after the house beautifully, and welcomed us with a delicious supper when we came home! Thank you very much Jill and Dan!!
Reviews from Pet Owners
Heather
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Claire
I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!
Allison
Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!
Robert & Rebecca
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Laura
Davis and Sydney were loving sitters for our pets. We even had an extra cat (our son's) and they took great care of all of the pets and our home. The pictures and the comments they sent showed us they figured out all of their quirky personalities very fast. It was nice to come home to a clean house and all pets were safe and happy! We would ask them back again.
Josepha
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.
Kerry
Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!
Nicky
Shella was a great house sitter and I had no concerns leaving her in charge when we went away. She kept in touch while we were away and we returned to happy pets and a tidy house. What more can you ask?! I would be more than happy to welcome Shella back to house sit another time.
Marcia
Heath spent a long weekend at my home taking great care of both dogs and the cat. He was able to help out on rather short notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in his care. Heath is friendly and reliable and left my home neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend him as a house/pet sitter for future assignments!
