I’m a repeat client of Kelly, and I can’t say enough good things. My dog loves her and I know when I get back, my pup has been well loved. Kelly goes above and beyond not just with my dog but takes amazing care of my house while she stays.

There wasn’t lack of positivity in any attribute when it came to Damian sitting my pup in my home. He was timely, communicative, and professional with me. He was endlessly patient with my anxious dog, Saint. Damian left my home just as clean as I left it to him. He even took the time to talk debrief his stay and chatted anime with my son! 10/10, def recommend, will rebook :) Thanks, Damian!

Brittany is awesome. She takes such great care of our dogs. They are comfy, relaxed and well cared for. We feel so lucky to have found someone who cares about our dogs as much as we do. Brittany sits for our dogs in our home. She also treats our home with care. She is a great person and highly recommend her for your fur babies.

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, from energetic family dogs to my own cat, Charlie. My background isn't just in the basics; I’m experienced in administering medication, managing specific dietary schedules, and providing high-energy exercise for larger breeds. As a student at VWU, I have a predictable weekly routine that allows me to offer consistent early morning, mid-day, and evening visits. Because I live/study locally, I’m able to be flexible with my timing between classes and can easily accommodate last-minute requests or regular daily check-ins. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and ensuring your space remains secure. I treat every home with the utmost respect, staying diligent about locking up and keeping areas clean. During our time together, your pet has my full attention—whether we’re on a walk or playing indoors—and I’m happy to provide frequent photo updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away.

About: Ever since I was a little girl there have been dogs in the house. When I was a young woman in my 20’s I worked at a wildlife rehab center in the suburbs of Chicago (Willowbrook Wildlife Haven). During my marriage I fostered dogs for 5 years and we also had our own dogs, everything from a Beagle to a Collie to Golden Retrievers. I love bird watching, love Ornithology! My love of animals has apparently rubbed off onto my kids. One daughter has two cats and one dog and my other daughter rescued her dog two years ago. The saying of “Who Rescued Who” is very true since she needed some four legged love during her college life and her dog has truly bonded with her! I am a stay at home mom, soon to be an empty nester. I am wanting to fill my time with some four legged love! I have a very large fenced in yard and a doggy door in the kitchen area. I love that door, my dogs just come and go and it’s great if I’m out and about for a few hours!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have been sitting since I was a kid. I love animals but I especially love dogs - your fur baby and I will be best friends while you are away. I love going on walks and playing fetch, and generally just doing what I can to make sure your dog is well cared for. I have experience giving dogs medications, baths, etc. I have experience with 8 week old puppies as well as elderly dogs. I’m a graduate student with night class two nights a week, but otherwise I work from home. Making sure your pets get needed attention won’t be an issue for me! I only care for pets in the owners home, that way your fur baby stays where they are familiar and comfortable. I am very clean and tidy and will ensure that I clean up after myself while staying with your pet.

About: I have been a passionate dog lover for as long as I can remember, and dogs have been a part of my life since childhood. Growing up with two dogs and caring for them sparked my lifelong dedication to their well-being. At just 10 years old, I turned my love for dogs into action by starting a dog-walking business, which quickly grew into a steady after-school job for six years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and perfect in its own way, and I strive to provide them with the highest level of attention, compassion, and professionalism. I’ve also found that dogs naturally gravitate toward me, making it easy to build trust and create positive experiences for them. Beyond my experience and deep love for animals, I am reliable, easy to reach, and offer a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Whether your pup needs a daily walk, extra playtime, or just a caring companion, I am here to ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Let’s make every walk the best part of your dog’s day! 🐾 Im currently a full-time student and athlete in college! I have a wonky schedule and was looking for specific time that is flexible with my schedule. I am a very active person and will normally jog with pets unless age or disabilities prevent this. I am always happy to accommodate; I have just found that higher intensity exercise makes for a happier furry friend!

About: We originally became Rover sitters when our best girl went over the rainbow bridge❤️ Since then, we have fallen in love with so many of your pets!! Boarding Dogs is so rewarding and we are so lucky to have amazing clients. In our home, pets are the kids and plants are the pets 🤣 So you can be confident that your pup will be treated like family, have free use of the furniture and when necessary be allowed to sleep in our bed lol. We unexpectedly adopted a dog (Tessie) in March and took a couple of months off Rover to socialize her and make her comfortable in our home. Great news, she is wonderful with other dogs and we are ready to open our doors again! We require meet and greets with the dogs to make sure everyone gets along. For certain short term stays (1-4 nights), we can arrange to take Tessie out of the house for a sleepover with friends, just ask. Thank you! -The Torres Family MaryKathryn is home all day from Wednesday to Sunday. Sebastian works 8:30am-5pm Mon-Fri With our schedule we take the dogs on walks twice a day, around 7am and 6pm. We feed Tessie twice a day at 7am and 7pm, but can accommodate any normal feeding schedules. MaryKathryn was a professional nanny for 16 years, and now is a children's Psychotherapist. Proper care is her career and calling. We had our dog Nova for an amazing 12 years and have all of the experience in pet care from medications to emergencies. We have a fenced in courtyard where pups can enjoy the sun, and down the street we have a dog park that is always empty. We have no children, so all attention goes to the pups!

About: I grew up in a home with at least two dogs and a cat, so it’s no surprise I’m the person at a gathering who ends up saying hi to the pets first. I’ve always had an easy connection with animals, and I’m comfortable reading their body language while respecting their routines, boundaries, and comfort levels. Over the past few years, I’ve become the go-to sitter in my friend group (and for friends-of-friends) because I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with pets. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and ages—from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets who need a slower pace. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions (including how long your pet can be alone), and I can provide regular photo updates. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and supporting pets with health-related care needs as directed. I have an extremely flexible schedule and work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day. Because I’m in full control of my routine, I can adjust my availability around you and your pet’s needs—whether that means morning/evening walks, midday drop-ins, frequent potty breaks, or keeping your pet company throughout the day. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding and medication schedules, and I’m happy to tailor my visits to match your pet’s normal routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level! I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all sizes and ages (from puppies/kittens to seniors), so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach based on energy level, temperament, and any special needs. For every service, safety and consistency come first: I follow your instructions closely, keep feeding and potty schedules on track, and make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, play, and calm companionship. I love long walks and outdoor time for dogs who enjoy exploring, and I’m equally happy providing quieter care for pets who prefer a slower pace. I’m comfortable administering oral medications as directed and supporting pets with health-related routines. If I’m caring for pets in your home (drop-ins, walks, or house sitting), I treat your space with respect, keep things tidy, and aim to keep your pet’s day feeling as normal as possible. When house sitting, pets aren’t left alone for more than 4 hours. In my home (boarding or daycare), pets get a calm, attentive environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured breaks, and I only take pets I can safely and comfortably care for. Throughout every booking, I provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Mary was great house sitting and watching my two high energy dogs (Aussies)! She did daily walks as well as playing in the back yard + was able to accommodate their special needs (prescription food for one and chewable meds for the other). I would absolutely recommend her as a dog walker or sitter as she loved my dogs a whole lot.

Kaylie is truly spectacular. She took great care of our two dogs, was so patient with them, and kept us in the loop the entire time. We could not have been more at ease knowing our two furry friends were getting the best possible care while we were away! 10/10 would book again and again!
