“Bre was fantastic watching our Cat! He has some medical that require extra effort/ needs and Bre followed directions and was very communicative in times of doubt. She also took great care of our house. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to watch your pets!”

“Jordan was awesome!! She did a two-week stay in my home with Champ as he was just a few weeks out of surgery and Jordan was meticulous in his care. She followed the routine I set to a T, sent multiple picture updates every day, gave Champ really great walks, played with him, and gave him all the care and attention he could want. I could tell both from the pictures and his demeanor when I got home that he was happy and comfortable during the two weeks with Jordan. Champ and I will definitely be repeat clients!”

“Diane was so kind and wonderful with our senior dog. She made such an effort to get to know us and our dog’s needs. She communicated clearly throughout her short stay. We can’t wait to book her again!”

“Chris was friendly and took good care of our pup and our house for 8 days! I would have her housesit again with the upfront request that ashe proactively share updates daily.”

“Andrea took great care of my senior girl Lana, who has several special needs. Andrea provided frequent updates and was very flexible and accommodating. She was communicative while I was away. I already have future bookings planned with Andrea and am so glad she is able to care for my baby.”

“Perniall did a great job taking care of Miss Bean. He was attentive to her special needs and followed her care instructions closely, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. I appreciated the updates and the thoughtful attention he gave her. I’d definitely recommend him, especially for pets who need a little extra care.”

“Patricia was absolutely a star for us. Bucket loved having her here and was sad when she left. We will absolutely use Patricia again and appreciate everything she did for Bucket. The care was immaculate and much appreciated!”

“Alysia was amazing! She was extremely accommodating and caring for my pups. We were able to do a trial night to make sure we all meshed well and that she felt comfortable taking care of the dogs. My senior dog has quite a few extra needs and she was so good and patient with him especially. She communicated so well and sent plenty of pictures! Our apartment was spotless when we returned too, which is always an appreciated touch! We seriously couldn’t be more happy with the care and service Alysia provided! I’ll looking forward to my next out of town trip with her taking care of my babies 🥰😊”

“Xandi did a totally exemplary job on a ten-day house sit with our senior dog with complicated medical requirements and kept us informed about how things were going throughout, including things like following through on our dog's seizure treatment protocol and asking the right clarifying questions. I'd have no reservations about working with Xandi again.”

“Jade was wonderful and loving with our dog and respectful of our home. This was our first experience with a dog sitter. It was amazing and we would definitely have Jade sit for us again!”

“This our first time hiring someone to take care of our dogs, usually we leave them with family. This time the entire family was on a trip so we opted for Rover and feel very blessed to have found Nicole. Nicole is very detail-oriented, communicated perfectly and even sent videos twice a day. We decided to leave the dogs at home instead of sending them to an unknown environment. And she not only walked them. She sat with them and gave them attention. This all became very crucial because it was very hard for me to leave my dogs this time around. One of my dogs had a bit of an eye irritation and she did a great job keeping track of his progress and keeping me updated. We are very grateful for Nicole and will definitely ask for her services again in the future.”

“We’ve got one special needs dog and two elderly cats that need very specific diets and medications. We’ve also got one more dog and cat! Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.”

“Daniel was absolutely amazing watching our kitty Thea when we went on a 10 day vacation. He treated both the cat and our home with love and kindness. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Daniel was. Could not recommend him more and look forward to having him watch Thea again soon.”

“Annie watched our French Bulldog, Fiona, for 7 days. It was also a holiday weekend which is a big deal. She did a great job with Fiona! She would send pictures and Fiona looked like she was in her element at home. I felt so comfortable with Annie taking care of Fiona that I didn't feel the need to check in constantly (which is a big thing for me). She also left the apartment just as clean as we had left it! She was great!”
“Cristian is great. He is very caring and responsible. He took care of our two dogs very well. They love him. One of our dogs didn’t eat well and Cristian made sure he ate his meal. We had meet and great and Cristian took his time to pick up keys and go over the care instructions with us. He sent videos everyday and kept us update when he headed out to walk the dogs. We felt very peaceful during our trip knowing that our babies were in great care. Thank you!”

“Margo did a great job. She was flexible and responsive. She sent lots of pictures and updates of our cats. We returned home after a week-long vacation and the house was in excellent shape. I will definitely use her for house-sitting and drop-in services in the future.”
“Mellanie was great! I was so worried having to go on a work trip after a forced move due to a building fire but she navigated the mess and clutter so wonderfully to help give Mimi all the attention she could need. Highly recommend!!”

About: I'm the canine coach that will help your pup get their walking exercise, mental enrichment, and reinforced dog training while I'm with them. I have a lifelong connection with dogs, grew up with them, and have a beloved pocket Pittie at home now. I volunteer at Chicago Animal Care and Control, where I receive extra training in dog handling. También, puedo hablar español (intermedio), y si quieres me puedo hablar en español con tu mascota 🐶 I'm the human guardian for an 8 year old, 35 lb "pocket" Pittie and two black cats. I have always shared my life with dogs and love all their special unique personalities! I grew up on a farm caring for 7 dogs, a dozen horses, cats, chickens. I learned how to listen to animals while my mom taught horseback riding. I'm excited to share everything I've learned over the years, and what I continue to learn. I have the weekends fully off when I can walk your pup as you enjoy your day off with family and friends, or give your pup some extra enrichment or walking training! I'm currently working full time during the weekdays, so can't offer a regular schedule during weekdays. I will always treat your dog with care and awareness, and look for ways to enrich their day so they come home happy and relaxed. While walking, I'm constantly aware of my surroundings, intentional about ensuring every walk is safe and happy.

Lupe really is the best and takes such good care of your furbabies. You can really see how much she cares and the effort taken. She took henry trick or treating at a pet store the most recent time and always takes the best pics. Always always goes above and beyond. the best!

Christian took great care of our pets and our home while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely conscientious, and came in person for a meet and greet beforehand. We got lots of pictures throughout the stay, and came home to three happy and healthy pets. Would love to have him sit for us again any time!

Vanessa is amazing. I just adopted a rescue two days prior and had separation anxiety, as did I. She also had a seizure condition si so it was so comforting to have someone who knew what was had to be done in case of an emergency. Vanessa put Olivia at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the night. Olivia even followed her to the door when sheleft. She asked such good questions at the start of the night about the emergency syringe and ER if needed. Feel so grateful for her. Highly recommend!

From the beginning when we connected with Ernesto & he agreed to house sit for Marx & we met him I felt secure in choosing him. He's a very responsible sitter who took care of Marx in a way that I appreciate. Marx grew attached & trusted him. The photos & videos helped in making me feel secure my doggy Marx was being cared for. I would certainly have him as a house sitter in the future if needed & highly recommend him to anyone who needs a wonderful sitter for your pet.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our two dogs received while we were away! Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure they were well-loved, exercised, and comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which made our time away even more enjoyable. When we returned, our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time! We will definitely be booking again in the future!

Perla did a great job taking care of both our dog and foster dog on Thanksgiving! Our foster Belle had surgery the day before the sitting, and Perla was fantastic with her, following all post-op directions. She sent pics throughout the stay and gave frequent updates. We came home to two very happy and healthy pups :) I’ll definitely be asking Perla to housesit for us again!
