Pet Sitters in Brooklyn, IL

Todd

Best Housesitter ever! From the beginning, Todd was responsive, punctual, friendly, flexible, and reliable. He kept us apprised of his travel plans and arrival time. He took excellent care of the house and left it cleaner than he found it. From his messages during our trip, we felt he cared about and truly liked our pets and we knew we had left them in wonderful hands. He kept up with our active border collie and might have actually tired him out! Todd was great to work with, we’d love to have him back, and we highly recommend him to anyone who loves their home and worries about their pets. He’s awesome.

Rachel

Rachel is so personable and our pets loved her! We’d welcome her back anytime!

Anastasia & Matthew

Anastasia and Matthew were lovely house guests and they spoiled our pets with lots of love! We appreciated their daily updates and we felt at ease knowing that everything was in great hands. They kept our house tidy and even laundered their sheets and towels before leaving. They were responsible with our car and dropped us off at the airport which saved us a lot of time. They took our dog for many walks and even a few exciting dog-friendly day trips. Our cat is a curmudgeon but warmed up to them quickly and even slept on Anastasia (a great honor).

Elizabeth & Paxton

Elizabeth was a great sitter! She was super attentive to Peechez and provided me with updates (and photos!) regularly. When I got home, my place was spotless. There was just one minor hiccup during the sit, but Elizabeth was highly communicative and we found a solution very quickly. I'd definitely have her back to sit for Peechez again!

Song

Yizhe was wonderful to work with and showed Carbon a ton of love, would definitely invite him back again.

Isabela & Bryce

This was the first time we had a zeewoi that we had not met and oriented in person. We did a FaceTime intro just prior to Isabela's stay and added a few final notes to our on-site guest notebook. There was incomplete construction before our departure which we interrupted but it made our deck unusable for our time away. Nevertheless, despite these imperfections, the house was left just as hoped for with a happy cat who seemed to have been well cared for in our absence. Bottom line: Isabela and Bryce were flexible and took care of business !

Bridgette

This was Bridgette's second time with us! We adore her and she's fantastic with our sweet pup. We're so grateful for her. Your pets and home would be in great hands with Bridgette!!

Amy

Amy was a great house and pet sitter! My cat Bubby was just coming off of 2 months of cage rest and needed a close eye kept on him. Amy did great keeping the cats company and making sure both were doing good. Communication was great, and I came home to a super clean house, would definitely recommend!!

Riley

Riley took good care of our pets and was reliable. He was friendly and communicative. He did leave some dirty dishes, and forgot a couple of belongings he had to come back for. Overall, it was a positive experience!

Krista

We were very happy with Krista’s care for our kitty and for our home. She was easy to communicate with and took the time to meet via face time, and arrived ahead of time in order to meet us and Kitty and get the scoop in person. She kept us up to date on how kitty was while we were away and we came home to a relaxed cat and a clean house. We would definitely have Krista back to sit out home and Kitty again! Thank you Krista!! 😊

Ashley

Ashley took great care of Pippa and Boris. Even Pippa felt relaxed with Ashley in our house. She was easy to chat with and give us a peace of mind knowing everything was ok. Thanks again Ashley!

Melody

Our cats did not greet us as usual at the door when we came home until we called out to them so they must have been very comfortable, content and well cared for hanging out with Melody and her daughter during our week vacation! Melody was very communicative with us, sending lots of kitty pics for our daughter (and us) and took great care of our home as well. We’d definitely recommend her and would welcome her back to sit anytime.

Katharine

I had a wonderful stay with Katharine and Oso in Grants Pass! Katharine is very generous with her time and knowledge of the area, easy-going and very communicative. We had many fun conversations over WhatsApp while she was away. I never had to worry if there was an issue that came up and I needed to ask her questions. She was always available.

Oso is just a great guy! All he wants is to be a part of the pack and be near you. He’s always a happy guy, wanting to play. His favorite is tug with his rope, and he does usually win. He loves his belly rubs. And he thinks he’s a lap dog! He’s such a goof. It was great to have him keep me warm on the cool nights as we watched TV. He is very easy to care for, I only had to give him his meds in the AM and PM which he takes with PB. And what dog doesn’t love PB?! He is very strong and likes to take the lead out on walks, so be prepared. He is very smart and will listen to you if you give him directions to stay by your side when you walk. He does have a doggie door and free feeds from a bag, so that gave me the opportunity to take some longer adventures around the area. Oso certainly left a paw print on my heart.

Kathy’s home is cozy and has everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is a dream to cook and bake in. And the backyard is a sanctuary that I enjoyed relaxing in every afternoon. Grants Pass itself is easily walkable into town, and there are so many options to be out in nature and hike. I really enjoyed being in the area.

Overall, a fabulous stay and I would highly recommend that if you get the opportunity to stay with Oso in Grants Pass to get there! I will certainly visit Kathy and Oso when I travel through the area again.

Jodi

Always fantastic!
