“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”


“I am so grateful for Elisa and the amazing care she gave our dog! She’s reliable, kind, and clearly love animals. Our pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. We’d definitely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”


“Evelyn, made sure our Bo was comfortable with her and the space. She is affectionate and knowledgeable about dogs! She was very attentive to our Bo and I received video, pictures and notifications of walks, etc. I felt really at ease leaving him. She even gave us some home made dog treats to take home with us. We will definitely be using Evelyn again!”


“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”


“We were really pleased with how Ginny did with Faith (and Tanner, too- they are a great duo) We are already scheduling Ginny to stay with them the next time we are out of town. Great experience for us and for Ginny.”


“We couldn’t have had asked for a better sitter for our Cheech. Emma was great with keeping us up to date with their daily activities. We’ll definitely be booking her again.”


“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”


“Leslie was incredible and so helpful with Milo. We had the unusual request of having her take him after our wedding ceremony and she did amazing. Highly recommend!”


“James took such great care of my dog Fletcher for a 3 night stay! I got daily updates with pics and James had Fletcher happily waiting for an easy quick pick up! My dog LOVED playing with James' dogs. HIGHLY recommend James!”


“Hans had a great time with their family. We appreciated the pictures and info on how he was doing. Always nice to see Hans getting snuggles in while we are away. Their other dog was a sweetie and got along with Hans perfectly. We will definitely book again when we have to head out of town next time.”


“Asia was fantastic with our dog. She communicated very well and he was happy and healthy when we picked him up. We hope to use her again soon.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.


“Jellybean had a great stay with Ashley! I was nervous because it was my first time leaving her with a sitter and Ashley took the time to listen and make sure we both felt comfortable. She sent pictures and updates and I know she was in great hands. I will definitely book again with Ashley!”

“My dog loves going to Lisa's and Matthew's house! He starts barking when we turn on their street, and rushes through the door without as much as a good-bye.”



“I’m so happy with Ms. Thelma. She is so kind and sweet to my evil child. This is my second time leaving Bobby with her and I don’t feel worried or stressed out. I know he is in good hands. I tried other sitters before and even Bobby seems to get stressed out. But Ms Thelma definitely makes him happy and makes me happy :).”


“I had a last minute trip and Nathalie was able to assist us flawlessly, her attention and friendly family environment for my little dog was greatly appreciated, my wife and I are grateful that even in times like this there are great families like her's, thank you so much for your assistance.”



“Duff had a wonderful first visit with Lindsey G. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We are looking forward to a long relationship knowing Duff is in great hands.”


“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”


About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner since childhood (5yrs old), I have a passion for providing exceptional care to our canine companions. With extensive experience in caring for dogs of all sizes, from Golden Retrievers and Labradors to Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, I am well-equipped to meet the unique needs of each furry friend. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of dog sitting for family and friends, and understand the importance of creating a warm and nurturing environment. My goal is to connect with your beloved pet and provide them with the enrichment and care they deserve. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, or simply a cozy place to rest, I am committed to ensuring they feel loved and at home. I look forward to meeting you and your special companion! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for both weekday & weekend overnight bookings. Either staying at your pets home. Or, welcoming your pet into my home (small & medium size dogs only please). Flexible with the stay length, ideally up to 1 week but I am open to longer. In my home, I offer an individualized environment without any other pets, have no personal pets. I am only accepting 1 pet at a time. Your companion will receive individual care and attention. If the dogs are siblings, I can accommodate up to 2. There are plenty of green spaces nearby for walks and playtime. I ensure that feeding, exercise and play sessions are done to your specifications. For overnight stays in my home, please provide enough food/treats and medication if applicable. If caring for pets in their own home, I will maintain their routine & environment to minimize stress. Whether, in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe and loving space where pets can thrive while their owners are away. I ask that you please provide me an orientation to your dog, that includes information on their feeding, potty, and medication schedule.


“Ann was great. Our mini goldendoodle was happy and healthy after his 6 nite stay! Bonus- Ann will groom your dog and her salon (at an addt’l cost, of course) during their stay. We picked up Sami clean and happy.”
