“Our girl was well cared for!!!! I was super hesitant to let Zoey stay with D’Artagnan at first since he has a dog of his own. Our Zoey had resource aggression and likes to take over people’s spaces. D’artagnan and his partner are clearly well versed in everything dog care and not only took great care of her but effectively set boundaries for Zoey. I appreciate all the pics and notes and felt at ease knowing she was okay while we were out of town. Happy to have a loving and trustworthy person to take care of our baby in the future.”
“Holly's second extended stay with Jackie was another great experience. Daily updates and photos, lots of attention and treats, and Holly even received a little holiday gift! Absolutely recommend.”
“Marta was perfect. I asked her to send me pictures and videos of my dog and she went above and beyond and sent me updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay. She was great with recapping how Blu was and quick with her responses. Blu had a wonderful time with Marta and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
“Katelyn and Andrew are AWESOME! I booked them to watch my two fur babies for two nights/three days in their home. The meet and greet was very detailed, Katelyn took notes on everything including feeding, medications, potty schedules and their normal day to day routine. While she was taking notes Andrew was playing with the girls and asking all about their personalities. They have a lovely home that backs up to a park with walking paths. I dropped the girls off on Thursday and picked them up on Saturday afternoon. Katelyn and Andrew were very flexible with my schedule and that gave me peace of mind that if something unexpected happened they had me covered. They sent pictures daily with updates of the girls activities and Andrew works from home so my girls were spoiled all day and night! I highly recommend this easy going dog loving couple to watch your precious pups, they are the BEST!”
“We highly recommend Cindy! Her family watched our dog in their home and we would love to rebook for future needs. Their family dog, Coco is so friendly, as is their family. Their house and yard is also well setup to be Dog friendly. We appreciated Cindy’s responsiveness, communication and got lots of pictures of all the love our pup got! I confidently knew our dog was well taken care of while we were out of town. Honestly one of the best rovers we have used for an in home stay!”
“We had such a great experience with Kimberly! She was amazing with Mylo and super communicative the entire time. She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was in good hands. You can tell Kimberly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Mylo seemed so happy and comfortable with her! We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Kimberly!”
“Kristina is a wonderful sitter! Very quick to respond and very communicative. Cassie was happy, made new friends, and we got photos and little updates daily. Will definitely be a returning client! ❤️ Thank you!”
“Jayne was great. She sent us multiple updates a day, including pictures. She was quick to respond. It was very easy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times. And our dog Conrad, seemed in great spirits when we picked him up.”
“Lucy stayed with Amanda & Anton while we went on a vacation for a week. Lucy seemed very happy and was well cared for. It was so nice to receive photos and updates. Thank you!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Jill. We are so happy with how well Jill cared for our two dogs and genuinely loved having them at her home. Jill was very communicative and friendly along with sending us frequent pics while we were able. We couldn’t be more appreciative to have felt so ease while we were away and could tell our dogs were in good hands.”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”
“This was my first time meeting Debbie and she did a fantastic job with our black labrador! I can tell he enjoyed his almost full-week stay with Debbie! She is wonderful and I will be seeking her for pet care services in the future.”
“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”
About: I know how to make dogs comfortable and make them feel like they’re being taken care of well. Lots of treats they get from me I am free to watch dogs a lot during each day of the week. Any time of the day works for me as well to watch them I have a fenced in yard. I keep my basement closed so no dogs can go down there. Mostly on the main floor with me.
“Tosha is located near the Bartlett, IL commuter train station. We visited Chicago for the weekend. Tosha responded promptly to all of our notes and questions. She was responsible when caring for our 12 yr old Jake for 2 days. Thank you!! Will use Tosha when we are in the area again.”
“Michelle is a LIFE SAVER! After Elmhurst Animal Hospital wrongfully canceled my boarding reservations at the last minute, I scrambled to find someone to watch my 3 small dogs. I found Michelle and she was quick to respond and accept my fur babies for the stay! Michelle and her 2 little girls took AMAZING care of them, sending update reports and pics too. This gave me peace of mind that they were being well cared for! Michelle was also very accommodating when I needed to drop them off early than originally scheduled. I will definitely be utilizing Michelle's services again in the future!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with our dog, Quincy! Quincy has an eye condition that requires an eyedrop every night before bed, and Kelly not only administered it every night but also messaged us afterward to let us know it was done, which gave us so much peace of mind. Throughout his stay, we received plenty of photos and videos, and Quincy got to play with Kelly’s dog, Maggie, every day. Maggie is truly the sweetest little host! We would absolutely send Quincy back to Kelly’s house in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter!”
