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!

Michelle took great care of our cats when we were away from home. She was very communicative, sent pictures and updated us on how they are doing. They were well fed and litter boxes cleaned, she also took our mail in. We will book her again for future trips.

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.

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!

Katerina did a great job stopping in to see our DJ every day while we were out of town and providing pictures and videos that were greatly appreciated. Her flexibility was also fantastic as we decided to extend our time away by about another week. During the whole time, Katerina took care of our cat and our house and we greatly appreciated that she could help us out. We will definitely use Katerina again!!

About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.

Kati is the best cat sitter that we’ve ever had since moving to the burbs 2 years ago. This is the most relaxing vacation that my husband and I have had in years because we weren’t constantly worrying about our pets! We both highly recommend!!

Doug was great with Rose and sensitive to her needs especially during the rain storms over the weekend. Rose is scared of the rain and he took extra care with her. He communicated well with us on each visit. Highly recommend Doug.

Taylor did a great job watching our cat while we were out of town for 6 days. She arrived as scheduled and followed instructions related to feeding, cleaning litter box, etc. She communicated daily through the Rover app with updates and pictures. Our cat responded very well to Taylor and was happy to see her during her visits. Would definitely use Taylor again!!

About: I can use any training tools you use on walks to continue their training. I can take your pup for a run if they have extra energy they need to burn too! I have a part time job allowing me time to walk your furry friend most afternoons/evenings with the occasional morning or weekend walk if needed! I have a dog if your pup wants a friend on their walk or if they need a solo walk that works too! I stay within your neighborhood so we are never far from home keeping the doggies calmer.

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.

About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.

Rachael was very communicative & patient. She helped to alleviate any anxieties I had while traveling away from my senior cat. She sent lots of photos & kept me in the loop about my cat’s behavior, eating patterns, and overall mood. 10/10 service, glad i already have her booked for my next vacation!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

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.

Muppet and Tiki had a great time with Taylor. Taylor was caring, reliable, and attentive, and we came home knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Taylor again and appreciate the thoughtful care and communication.
