“Sarah and her family are true gems! They watched our beagle for five days who has very bad separation anxiety. Our little girl was well looked after, taken on walks, cared for during fireworks and loved playing with their sweet dog, River. Sarah kept us updated with photos which I really appreciated. Will definitely use her again and I highly recommend!”


“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”



“I’m so happy with Ms. Thelma. She is so kind and sweet to my evil child. This is my second time leaving Bobby with her and I don’t feel worried or stressed out. I know he is in good hands. I tried other sitters before and even Bobby seems to get stressed out. But Ms Thelma definitely makes him happy and makes me happy :).”


“First time that I left my dog for 3 days and it was an amazing experience. My dog likes it so much. Evelyn is a great dog sitter and she loves dogs. Text me every day to let me know how my dog is doing with pictures and I recommend her 100%. Thank you again Evelyn. You are awesome.”


“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”


“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”


“We left our shy dog with viktoryia for 3 weeks when we were out of the country. My dog is a rescue and while a sweet girl, she only likes one person - me. She did very well because Victoryia has a way with dogs. She sent some pictures and videos and I could tell my shy little dog felt right at home. Your dear dog will be in good hands at this lovely rover home.”


About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner since childhood (5yrs old), I have a passion for providing exceptional care to our canine companions. With extensive experience in caring for dogs of all sizes, from Golden Retrievers and Labradors to Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, I am well-equipped to meet the unique needs of each furry friend. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of dog sitting for family and friends, and understand the importance of creating a warm and nurturing environment. My goal is to connect with your beloved pet and provide them with the enrichment and care they deserve. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, or simply a cozy place to rest, I am committed to ensuring they feel loved and at home. I look forward to meeting you and your special companion! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for both weekday & weekend overnight bookings. Either staying at your pets home. Or, welcoming your pet into my home (small & medium size dogs only please). Flexible with the stay length, ideally up to 1 week but I am open to longer. In my home, I offer an individualized environment without any other pets, have no personal pets. I am only accepting 1 pet at a time. Your companion will receive individual care and attention. If the dogs are siblings, I can accommodate up to 2. There are plenty of green spaces nearby for walks and playtime. I ensure that feeding, exercise and play sessions are done to your specifications. For overnight stays in my home, please provide enough food/treats and medication if applicable. If caring for pets in their own home, I will maintain their routine & environment to minimize stress. Whether, in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe and loving space where pets can thrive while their owners are away. I ask that you please provide me an orientation to your dog, that includes information on their feeding, potty, and medication schedule.

“Please see our previous daycare review for a more in-depth reflection of Lisa + Matt’s service. This review is for a long stay, over a week, while we got married in another country. We were so nervous to leave Leo, who has epilepsy, but knew we could trust Lisa + Matt more than anyone. He was in great care and had himself a vacation while we were gone. There were daily updates, pictures, and all his medical needs were met. We trust them with our lives. Leo loves being with them and loves playing with their dogs and cats. He truly feels at home and like family there. We can’t thank them enough for the peace they brought to us during our wedding week abroad ❤️”

Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”
