“My partner and I are so grateful for Janet! She made our trip completely stress free with her high quality care and service. She took time to greet the cats before we left, and showed she was very sensitive to their needs and boundaries; the cats approved almost right away! During our trip, she kept us updated with pictures of their meals, medication, snuggles, and play time. Janet was also very confident and trustworthy in helping Nyx with her asthma inhaler! We came home to two very happy, comfortable cats, and we could not be more pleased with Janet's help!”
“Iwonka was fantastic, and our 3 cats loved her! They can be skiddish at first but they seemed to take right to her - she was communicative, took awesome pics, and took the time to actually play with them which made us feel at ease while we were away.”
“Jaimie was wonderful taking care of our cat and the house while we were out of town. She contacted us daily to let us know that everything was ok. She was thorough in asking questions to help care for our cat. She’s very reliable and we had a good piece of mind that things were taken care of. We will definitely use her again!”
“Natalie has been absolutely fantastic with my four dogs. She handles them all with no problem at all. She is responsible and flexible with schedule changes and that has been a big help as my work schedule does fluctuate. The dogs just love her and we feel very fortunate to have her as our daily pet sitter. I would strongly recommend Natalie if you are looking for peace of mind when it comes to having someone trustworthy to care for your pets.”
“Thank you Kaelyn for watching my kitties and sending me the photos everyday. It made me feel safe that you were caring for them. I know you go back to school in the Fall but if something comes up before then I will surely find you on Rover!”
“Thank You! GA cat was well taken care of!”
About: I'm a dog lover dedicated to providing top-notch care and fun-filled adventures for furry friends. I'm experienced with all kinds of dogs and cats. I am ready to feed them and give them lots of love and care. I've been working at a dog daycare, so I have hands-on experience caring for pups in a group setting, as well as one on one. I'm excited to meet new furry friends. I'm available every morning and evening for walks and visits. I'm available all day on weekends. I would love to hang out with furry friends. I keep everything clean. I always replace water bowls with fresh water and feed any pets. I love to take dogs on walks or cuddle and play with them. I treat all pets as my own.
About: i have experienced taking care of animals all my life since my parents always had cats and dogs . i’m very experienced with pets !! I work as a gymnastics coach just a few hours in the morning and afternoon, which gives me plenty of time during the day for pet care, walks, playtime, and check-ins. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. In your home, I make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their familiar space, following all care instructions closely. In my home, pets get a cozy, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles — just like they’re part of the family!
“Thank you Laura for being wonderful, reliable and kind to my fur baby cat. You are so much more than a pet sitter. You’re a thoughtful and caring caregiver to furry family members. You gave me peace of mind when I couldn’t be there and so happy with your services. Thank you!!”

About: Available for daytime and overnight care, as well as dog walking or visits when you're away. Cat care included for home visits. I'm a fur-mom of 2 very friendly, socialized Siberian Huskies. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with small & large breed dogs. I'm very compassionate with animals and their needs, plus love petting and cuddling. Knowing your fur-baby will miss you, my goal is to give them a caring and safe environment where they can play and socialize until your return. My older children love animals as well, and help me with my two, they will help me play and ensure your fur-baby feels at home. What's most important to me: a) dogs are treated as PART of the family b) they have caregivers who understand and meet their needs (socializing, getting a break from other dogs, exercise, etc) I would like to understand any needs or requests for your pup to ensure he/she is as comfortable as possible, especially if your pup has a little bit of separation anxiety. I cater to those pups, and we are HUGE Cesar Milan fans! So being sensitive to these pups is very important. My home has a large secured fenced in yard for pups to run free in, along with a great neighborhood for walks. I live minutes away from Switzer Woods dog park in West Dundee, which we are frequents at. I have an SUV to transport pups if you'd like to add a trip to the dog park to your stay. In addition to the secure large back yard, I have 2 tie ups in our front yard my two love sitting and enjoying the weather and watch everyone walk by :) (chain link and extremely secure) Since the backyard is privacy fence they enjoy seeing everyone and a chance of scenery. The interior of my home is dog-friendly as well. Any areas in my home off limits to dogs will have doors closed or gates to block. I do have a cat, so for example dogs in my home are not allowed upstairs (the cat's safe zone) so that has a gate so no dogs on stairs. Laundry room, office where electric cords, basement doors will be shut. Also I like dogs to be in sight while in the home, so any areas I can't see them I tend to shut doors. L Open floor plan, so every other room (about 4 rooms of space) is fair game! Free to roam, play, and on nice days go in and out to the back yard as they please. My dogs don't go on all furniture, but they do have their own ottoman and furniture that is all theirs :) I have dog beds around the main level for their sleeping pleasures. Your pup will be part of the family while in our care. Looking forward to building a friendship with your pup, so they come back to play with us again!
