“Ana is the real MVP! No need to look for anyone else. From the moment you speak and meet Ana, you can tell that she is genuine and down to earth with her love for animals. She was very knowledgeable, courteous, accommodated needs and helped me while in a pinch last second with no hesitation. Located in a cozy, friendly area where your doggos can get a nice walk or jog in while seeing other fur friends, squirrels, or birds. Once invited in, your greeted with a warm smile in a nice, clean open area. Several areas for the doggos to play, sunbathe, explore, etc. Ana even provided updates of fergie sunbathing on her bed. Its nice to know that i can leave Fergie with a friend rather than being home all alone. *As a bonus, Fergie was introduced to friend during her stay and finally warmed up to her at the end of the day. Already have another future booking set! Do yourself a favor and consider Ana being the sitter that suits your needs. I know she will be our forever sitter as long as we're around!”


About: I love all the furry babies, my own fur babies are treated like my children. I work from home, so your baby would have my attention through the entire day. We would have time to play, walk, snuggle, and bond. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your baby would feel at home and comfortable in my home, they would have full access to roam and wander. They also would be allowed on the couches / beds for snuggles and belly rubs. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to ensure your pup has plenty of time and attention. I have an 11 year old son who is just as much as an animal lover. I have a large fenced in back yard. My foxy girl loves to get her zoomies out back there, and loves playing fetch. My son will love on, play, and engage with your pup also.

“I will not use anyone else. My girl, Nia, came home every day happy and tired! Great communication, price, and peace of mind that my furbaby was well taken care of.”


About: My husband and I have a lot of experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I've been house sitting /animal sitting for around 7 years on the side. I absolutely love animals, and I've had experience caring for a large variety of them. I've watched 4 large dogs at a time, all of whom needed special medication and attention. I care for every animal like they're my own, and just absolutely love being around dogs. I have a spacious home and I am very attentive. I live in a safe neighborhood, and I am by my phone 24/7 so can be in contact with you at any time. I work remotely and sometimes have to go in to the office. My husband is almost always home, and we always make sure someone is at home to be with the animals. Care is always personalized to the dogs needs. We go for regular walks, follow any dietary restrictions, and always check with the pet-parent if there's anything else needed.

About: I have had dogs all my life & have taken care of friends & family’s pets. I tend to adopt “problem” dogs that other people can’t handle. I love a challenge & gaining the trust of the dog. I used to frequent the Dominican Republic to feed & give flea baths to the neglected street dogs out there. I’m currently working from home & was a bartender for the last 20 yrs but now looking for a new career with animals because they are my true passion. I just moved to the Gardner, Illinois for a bigger yard & a 6ft privacy fence to expand my dog sitting business. I also have a small pool for the dogs. I have lots of gates up throughout the house & different rooms I can put dogs in if any need to separated. I also have large crates I can use.

“Thank you for watching our pitty Diesel! Appreciate you also doing a meet and greet as well!”


“Sydney took great care of our golden retriever. She’s she’s attentive to our fury baby who’s high energy! We appreciate your care and compassion!”


About: I have 10 pets myself, all well taken care of of and ranging from 5 years old to 1. I LOVE to pet sit and meet new furry friends. We have a huge fenced in back yard for them to play in as well! I have experience with pets with anxiety, fear aggression, and more. I am not scared of inconvenience or personality stigmas. I also have experience with special needs pups, elderly pups, and giving medication. I have always loved animals since I was a kid and always advocate for them. I own my own business where I work from home, so I have plenty of time and availability to take care of your fur babies! I believe in reward based training rather than punishment! I can crate your pups if needed. I also have experience in cats and other small animals who need watching.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life ever since I was born! I love all dogs and have dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors for years. I’ve worked with all types of dogs from large to small, outgoing and shy, and even anxious puppies. I’m currently working from home so I have a lot of time for your dog! My weekends are typically spent working on projects at home so I spend a lot of time at home. :) I live in a quiet neighborhood with very nice walking paths! We do not have a fenced in yard but have many leashes available. I have a super friendly golden retriever to keep your dog company!

“Denise was honestly incredible! It was pretty short notice and some people wouldn’t watch Caesar because he’s a pitbull, she rearranged her schedule to watch him. She gave me multiple updates and pictures throughout. When I came to pick him up, she gave me a painting he made (with the help of peanut butter and plastic wrap I assume)! 1000% recommend”


“Great with puppies! Her house is nice and perfectly safe for puppies, and her dogs are gentle and sociable to young dogs. She gives tips for raising young dogs too.”


About: I have had dogs and cats all my life from puppy/kitten to seniors and always try to make everyday special for them. Very attentive to their needs. Detail and safety oriented. I have a full time work from home job so taking care of pets during the day would be simple if they are taken care of here. I am flexible if need to be in your home, as long as I have internet access for work. I have a very large fenced in yard and numerous rooms in the house to keep your pet comfortable and taken care of. I have my own medium sized dog and cat so if they are friendly they can play but if not, can always sequester them in a nice safe space.

About: Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge dog lover. I was raised with a dog and went on to get a dog of my own. A sheltie. He was just 8 weeks old. I had the greatest experience training and raising him. He was my best friend and buddy. He unfortunately passed away at the age of 12. I have a high level of love and compassion for dogs as well as other animals. I am a very patient and love to go on walks, play and cuddle. I have two teenage girls who visit and are just as much a dog lover as myself. I do not work outside the home and have the time and attention to give to your best friend. I live in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood offering comfortable accommodations. I’m happy to share anymore information you would like

Robyn W.
“Robyn is the best. I have a black lab and she took care of him for 5 days while I was traveling. Liked the fact that her dogs were excited and friendly to have him at their place when I initially dropped him off. When I picked my boy up, it was almost a sad feeling that he was leaving, so I will definitely drop him off with Robyn and his new friends as much as possible. The dogs all bonded together and I know my little guy was taken care of. Would recommend Robyn anytime”
