“Taylor was great with our cat while we were gone on a long trip. Lots of updates, pictures & videos and love for our kitty. Lovely person - we would def book with her again.”

“We had Kati watch our cat for a week while we went on vacation and she made us feel so comfortable doing so. She took great care of our pet and even went out of her way to clean up messes our cat made and took in our garbage cans. We will definitely use her again!”


“Katerina, Thank you for looking after our cats while we were away! They were very well taken care of and we will definitely be rebooking for our future cat-sitting needs!”

“Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Madeline took such good care of my boys. My younger cat is very shy and he even made himself known, which is super rare. Will definitely use her again! Thank you!!”

“Daniela took great care of my kitties and made sure to send photo updates! She also did well with administering oral medications to my cat and had great communication with me the entire time. 😊”

“Jen was professional and caring. She visited on time every 12 hours to give insulin shots to our elderly cat for an entire week. Our cat is usually afraid of non-family members, but she was comfortable around Jen. When a snow storm prevented us from getting home on time, Jen was flexible and willing to adjust our booking and continue to care for our cat until we made it back. We really loved having Jen as our Petsitter and will definitely rebook with her in the future!”


About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I had two labs growing up and another lab in my early twenties who I still grieve for today. I currently have no dogs of my own so I pour all my love into my friend’s dogs. The dog I had my twenties had behavioral issues and required patience and understanding in a short amount of time he went from being withdrawn and antisocial to a complete love bug! I’m unemployed but I take care of my disabled mom. Because of this I have a very flexible schedule. I have always loved dogs and miss having one of my own. I’m always excited to spend time with my friend’s dogs. I don’t plan on boarding any dogs at my own home. With how my mom’s health is now it wouldn’t be a good idea to do so.
“Jennifer was a life saver and such a help with my two pups! Was traveling in the area and needed help at the hotel while I attended an event. She was professional, polite, communicative and the pups loved her! Would absolutely book again.”


“Ellie and Pork Chop warmed up to Jaime very quickly! She was great with them and they really enjoyed their walk with her. They are definitely looking forward to more visits.”

“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”

About: Pets have always been a big part of my life. I've volunteered at a dog and cat shelter, grown up surrounded by dogs, and cared for the pets of close friends and neighbors. Being around pets feels natural to me, and I truly love making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am currently studying from home and I set my own schedule so I am very flexible and happy to work around your pet needs. I live with my family in a house with lots of space and a yard. The neighborhood is very quite and safe. We have a friendly dog that just wants a friend to play with, and everyone in the house loves dogs very much.
About: I am a Special Education teacher who works at a Therapeutic School by day and an animal lover all day and night. I do not have kids but I have 3 cats and babysit my friends and families fur babies any chance I get. Pets have free range of my home, they can relax on the couch, chair and bed whenever they want. I have experience watching dogs from pups-elderly. I volunteer at a local animal rescue in Palatine and bring in therapy dogs to visit my classroom. I rescued and adopted a deaf kitty with one eye, and I've always had animals in my home. I am a non-smoker and vegan (vegans really do love animals). For any overnight/weekend stays, I will be home and available to play, go for lots of walks and hangout all weekend long with your fur baby. Regular walks, feedings, playtime and relaxation based on your dogs needs is my priority. I have three loving cats who will keep your dog company. I have a small backyard that is away from cars/traffic and a large front yard. I have a dog tie out and spiral stake for dogs that want to roam around my unfenced front and/or backyard. Playdates with neighboring dogs is always an option or solo, quiet time if they prefer. I can keep your pet on their walking/feeding/play/sleep schedule as you request.
“We love that we can count on Grace to take such great care of our dog Bucky. She is responsible, reliable, great with communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure Bucky is taken care of before leaving. Thanks again Grace!”

About: I have had the pleasure and joy of being able to take care of lots of different animals for over 10 years. I spent some time on a farm where taking care of sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, and the barn cats and dogs was a daily thing. Later on, I was the proud mama of a german shepherd named Bruno who stole my heart in every way. Unfortunately he is now gone since November of 2023. Since then, my lifestyle has changed and I am not able to have another dog of my own due to long working hours four days out of the week. However I love taking care of pets, especially dogs, and this is the perfect way to still have a connection with these wonderful creatures, even if they are not my own :) I promise to take care of yours as if it was my own! They will be royally treated with me! My Fridays through Sundays are free from other work and I would love to be able to take care of your pets, especially your dogs! I have a spacious home where your pet can feel free to roam and rest. I also have many trails I can take them on walks. There is also a spacious park area where we can play around if that's what your dog prefers! If I am coming to your home, I am more than happy to walk them short or long distances, play with them, or tend to any other pet needs!

Taylor is prompt, professional, and very good with dogs! She clearly has experience dealing with dogs and was able to adapt to some changing conditions we had. My dogs loved her and got all the exercise they needed when she stopped by. I will definitely use Taylor again!
