“This was the first time we've had someone stay in our home to watch our dog while we were away and Emily was wonderful! She was very attentive to his needs and was able to manage his anxiety meds and special diet. We really appreciated all the photos and detailed updates every day! I would certainly recommend Emily!”
“Nicole is incredibly communicative. She goes above and beyond with our dog. We were so pleased to have her stay in our home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will be booking again.”

“Angela was amazing with George and was able to help us out when we came to town for the night. She’s extremely knowledgeable, kind and timely. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Samantha was great! She really saved us when we were put in a bind by a last minute cancellation by another sitter. She sent us daily updates and pictures of our pups, and endured their puppy energy. We came home to a clean house and happy puppies. We would definitely book Samantha again!”

“Chauntrell was great sitting my dog and cat over a week long trip. He sent multiple pictures every day and was very detailed. He even checked on routine and if certain behaviors were expected from the pets. My dog was sad to see him go!”

About: I have seven years of experience working for a local pet care company and am looking to expand clientele. I am experienced with most breeds, comfortable administering medications, and have lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats. I promise to treat your pet like a family member with the highest level of care. Although I do have a dog of my own, he loves to make friends or is able to visit grandmas house in the suburbs for periods of time if needed! I currently am going back to school for my masters degree and I plan to dog walk while attending school. I have a flexible schedule that allows for daily/weekend visits. I am lucky enough to have lots of parks in south loop for your doggo to explore! If I am staying closer to your area I am happy to adapt

Alex immediately put me at ease with her kindness. Gomi is the sweetest! Alex was so accommodating and flexible which is so appreciated. She sent such cute pictures and videos of Bmo, she looked like she was having a great time. Thank you so much for everything!!!

Emily was INCREDIBLE!!!! She was so loving to my dog and cat, sent amazing updates and pictures ♥️, and went above and beyond to stay and help out when my return flight went through delays and cancellations. I cannot thank her enough and will be using her again next time I leave town!!!

Mairead is a modern day Snow White. I returned to two happy and well cared for cats. Even my neighbor's cat stopped by to visit. And my millipede, which I hadn't seen for a month, made an appearance! I am especially grateful that Mairead provided expert care to my one cat that requires medication and a specific diet. I would 100% book with her again.

Allison has been an amazing dogsitter for our dog, Max. This is the third time we’ve worked with her, and she continues to exceed expectations every time. She’s reliable & communicative, and most importantly Max is always happy and well taken care of when we return. It gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. Highly recommend Allison!

Pashan was patient and accommodating with my dog Bear. He is comfortable with her in his space even though he us not always friendly with strangers. My flight got delayed coming back and Pashan was flexible with her schedule, staying late with Bear. She was also communicative and sharing regular updates with me during the stay!

I found and booked Polly at ~3pm for a 5:30pm arrival for my 8 month old puppy, and she was graciously accommodating. She’s new to Rover and to Chicago so she didn’t have any reviews but was happy to provide a reference. Came early to meet my pup, was patient around us getting ready and shuffling around and a home getting packed up to move. My pup was content enough with her to sleep and eat, which is a win. I received pictures and an update. I’d totally book her again! Thank you Polly!

Rahmya was amazing! She was very flexible in setting up a meet and greet and instantly prioritized befriend Stormie. I got lots of updates and update pictures daily of stormie which made the whole process of being out of town much easier. I never felt like Stormie wasn't in good hands. The home was clean and perfectly tidy when we arrived back, which was so appreciated when returning from our trip. I would 100% recommend Rahmya for anyone looking for a pet sitter 💙

I can't recommend Sam enough to look after your pets. He was a huge lifesaver for me on very short notice and took incredible loving care of my dog Sammy. He was vey communicative and fast to respond and provided so many photos while he looked after my dog Sammy. He gave him lots of love and playtime and it was such a relief to have an animal lover like Sam looking after my pup Sammy. 10/10!
