“Destiny is a true gem! My dog has separation anxiety and cannot be alone. He is also slow to warm up to strangers. But Destiny had him calm and wanting affection in under two minutes. :) I will definitely call on her again!”

“Coleen did a wonderful job watching Ollie while we were out of town for a few days. We received frequent updates and upfront information related to time spent with our pup. Coleen was very professional and responsive, we will request to book again soon! Thanks Coleen!”

“Malcomn was the best Rover we ever had. Would hire him back in an instance. He was respectful, responsive, communicative and took exceptional care of our puppy and cat for a long weekend. He sent great descriptions and photos every day. He sets the bar high for Rovers!”

“Did a great job keeping me in the loop with Penelope, enjoyed all the photos! Also kept a clean house which is very nice to come back to after vacation!”

“Jonah was fantastic! We have a 15 yo lab and she did great while we were gone. Jonah came over just before we left to ensure an easy transition, he took her out often, went on great walks and stayed with our dog. He made going away easy and stress free! We will definitely have him back!”

“Sarah is super sweet patient communicative and professional. my Zoey has some issues adjusting to someone new in the house and sarah was very patient with her and communicative with me. I will book her again and I’m sure Zoey will be grateful.”

“Aaron & Jessica were sitting our dogs Harold & Finn for six nights in our home! They stopped by to meet us ahead of our trip, communicated well leading up to and throughout our trip. The dogs were happy and the house spotless when we returned home. We would definitely work with Aaron & Jessica again and would highly recommend them!”

About: Hi there! My name is Julie and I’m a third year medical student and a mom to a 3-year-old cat named Theo. Ever since I had my first pet hamster at the age of 7, I’ve loved hanging out with and taking care of our furry friends. I spent my childhood volunteering in animal shelters and taking care of my aunt’s dog. During my time in medical school, I adopted my cat Theo, who has been the best companion to sit alongside while studying. I have experience in dog walking and dog/cat/house sitting for various friends and clients in the Forest Park/Oak Park area and would love to branch out and meet new furry friends! As a pet parent myself, I understand how anxious it can be to be away from your pets, so I always make sure to send ample and detailed updates with photos while I am with them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends 💕 I’m currently taking the year off for research and my schedule allows for broad availability. I’m super flexible and happy to work around your schedule! I have a passion for taking care of others, whether they be people or animals! Safety and comfort of your pet will always come first.

“Jamie was perfect. She went above and beyond with Bernie. And somehow our place looked better when we got back than when we left. Between this and all of the sticks Bernie got on his walks I'm wondering if witchcraft was afoot! Or maybe that's just the time of year talking and Jamie is simply a great person to hire!?”

“Diane was such a blessing. She has a really sweet and caring demeanor and we knew right away she was the right sitter to watch our fur babies. In our week long trip she took great care of our home and 2 dogs and kept in touch throughout our trip. We feel relieved to have found her and will definitely rebook with her. Thank you Diane!!”

“Sarah was amazing from the beginning! She was friendly, responsive, and great with all of the boys! She made me feel comfortable having her with them! Would recommend her to anyone, and will use her in the future!”

“Sahay is very sweet with a great vibe for your dog! I have a nervous little Italian greyhound who needs ‘babysitting’ sometimes and Sahay comes thru for us, and my pup loves her.”

“Grace was absolutely amazing. My dog loved her. Sent pics and did everything i asked. I would highly recommend her.”

“Jane took wonderful care of our cat and dog. She stayed at our house for about a week while we were aboard, sending loving pictures each day. There were several travel changes, and she was great with communication and adapting to a last minute changes. She will be the first call me make next time we travel.”
