“This was our first time having a stranger house sit for us and we were super nervous, but upon meeting Ellie we knew our pups were going to be in great hands! We were gone for about 3 days and Ellie sent us pictures and updates of the pups everyday. When we got back home we were so happy to see how well the pups and the house were taken care of. We are super happy with Ellie and will definitely be asking for her help in the future! Thank you Ellie!”
“Jeffrey was amazing! He kept us posted constantly while we were out of town. It helped us give us a peace of mind and we will definitely be booking him again in the near future.”
“Zachary was amazing! He stayed with our animals for 3 nights and they absolutely loved him. He took amazing care and followed all instructions. Will absolutely be booking with him again in the future.”
“Claire was a fantastic dog sitter! I felt confident when she came over for a meet & greet that all would be well. She communicated well in advance, was very flexible, and continued to communicate & share photos/videos while we were away. No doubt our dog felt fully comfortable with Claire staying with her, she got her walks and tons of attention. ☺️”
“Isela was wonderful! You can tell right away that she has a perfect personality for animals. She made our dog so comfortable while we were away and provided us updates all throughout the day. We would absolutely recommend Isela for any dog sitting needs!”
“I highly recommend Meghan! She did such a great job taking care of my dog and my home while I was away. The house was spotless when we returned and although my dog can be anxious, she warmed right up to Meghan during her stay. She was also very quick to respond and sent lots of updates!”
“Jacqui was absolutely terrific taking care of my two 13 year old Springer Spaniels while I visited my son in Ohio for a week. She loves dogs and gave them plenty of love and attention. The hardest part of her duties was giving them all of their daily medicines which she did even learning to give Tia her twice daily shots of insulin. I highly recommend Jacqui!”
“I could not have asked for a better care giver for our fur baby while we were out of town than Emily. My kitten does not do well alone and she stayed at our home with him and he took to her right away. She provided me with regular updates, was incredibly kind and responsive, respectful, and responsible. She was in ongoing communication with me and followed every ask I had. I would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Krista took such amazing care of our 130 lb dog while we were out of town. She didn’t just “watch” him, she truly loved on him, played with him, and treated him with so much kindness and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, tail-wagging dog says everything about the care he received. She also watered our plants, kept us updated with lots of pictures, and went above and beyond by watercoloring a beautiful portrait of our dog as a parting gift. It was incredibly thoughtful and meaningful. Krista is dependable, caring, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets and home.”
“Emily is an amazing sitter!! She watched our 13 week old Golden Retriever puppy for 2.5 days and was so incredible with him. He can be a handful, but she is so patient and caring. Highly recommend her and we will be using her a lot more in the future!”
About: I’ve always had a dog in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I have a super open availability this summer, with more than enough time for late nights, early mornings, and overnight work! I have reliable transportation and a super free schedule to care for furry friends! I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, from beloved pets to working as a pack care manager with wolves and wolf-dog hybrids. I have extensive hands on experience in real world animal care and behavior. I recently graduated from a specialized animal care and training program, where I deepened my knowledge in training, welfare, and animal behavior. I’m especially passionate about understanding how animals think, communicate, and thrive, and I bring that enthusiasm into every animal I work with. Honestly, my whole life revolves around pet care. It’s important to me to provide an enriching life to my own pets, and of course to the pets that I care for regularly. I thoroughly follow all directions given by owners and am very meticulous and detail oriented. I have experience caring for geriatric animals, as well as animals who need medications multiple times a day and specific, personalized needs.
“Yana was wonderful! She was very nice, punctual, and so caring towards Pringle. It gave me peace of mind knowing Pringle was with someone so attentive and kind.”
About: I provide structured, calm care for dogs of all ages. I focus on behavior, not just supervision—leash manners, basic obedience, and reducing jumping or pulling. I use clear markers and consistent routines so dogs understand expectations quickly. I’m attentive, reliable, and communicate clearly with owners. Comfortable with energetic, anxious, or large dogs. My goal is a calm, well-behaved dog—not just a tired one. My schedule is flexible and built around pet care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings, evenings, and last-minute bookings. Walks, check-ins, or longer stays fit easily into my routine. I keep consistent timing for feeding, exercise, and training so dogs stay calm and predictable. I prioritize safety and structure. I follow your dog’s routine, use clear rules, and supervise interactions closely. I’m comfortable with crates if needed and maintain a calm environment to reduce stress. I monitor behavior, avoid risky situations, and provide regular updates. Clean, controlled, and reliable care at all times.
About: **PET CARE EXPERIENCE: Hi there! :) Are you looking for a vacation for your pup with a sweet gentle giant pupper to keep your dog company, a stress-free environment that is cage free, cozy, able to roam in a doggie paradise full of 100 dog toys, lay on plenty of comfy spots, have doggie movie fun time, a yard to run around, fun lake and trail adventures, and get all the love and attention they need? Then look no further. :) I speak Spanish and English. I am LLC licensed and insured pet sitter that does both overnight stays and daycare. Me & my boyfriend Ryan own a beautiful home with a nice big Fenced yard in Lake Villa, IL. I have 20+ years experience and specialize with dogs, cats, reptiles, dog training and animal behavior expertise (aggression, shy, nervous, anxious behaviors etc..), worked as an animal care specialist at an animal shelter, vet assistant at a vet clinic, manager & lead dog handler at daycare/boarding facilties, head dog walker and ambassador. I'm experienced with all breeds, all sizes, all temperaments. I am a positive reinforcement force-free reward based trainer that enjoys boarding, playing, and walking dogs. I do not use nor recommend the use of bark collars, choke chains, nor prong collars. I do not use fear, force, pain nor intimidation either. I use love and respect and guide every dog in a gentle manner and encourage and reward the good desire behaviors with lots of praise and affection. If they love something extra special I will use that as rewards. I will provide the best care and love for your dog and they will come back home happy. (P.s- they might not want to come back home from all the fun they had haha.) I do have one dog at home and other clients dogs as well so your dog must be okay with other dogs for boarding and must be okay and well socialized with people as well since your dog will be under my care. I do sometimes have timid dog's As long as they are not a risk liability to any other dogs or people then I'm okay in having them over. I make sure all dogs in my care will be safe with other dog's and other people before I accept them. My dog is super sweet and well behaved and loves dogs, people, cats, kids, everything! she is a spayed female 7 year old rescue cane corso (italian mastiff) I work with your budget if need be and I also have reference of past clients upon request. :) **SCHEDULE: I'm a full time dog sitter for boarding and daycare at my home. I am always home to care and spend time with the fur-babies. Every dog goes out at least 3 times a day. *Morning outside time between 6a.m-7a.m and then breakfast right after. *Afternoon outside time between 12-2p.m *Dinner between by 4-6 pm *Last evening outside time by 8-10 pm Special arrangements can be done depending on age and needs and I can also do every 2-4 hours potty breaks just let me know and I can work on a special schedule for your pup. :) I take into consideration age, breed, and how the weather is and keep them safe from too much cold exposure or severe heat exposure. Potty breaks will be brief for severe weather purposes. GROOMING: Per request before you book your stay: I can give your doggie a bath during their stay with me for an additional fee (not a separate services) they must be already staying with me if he/she is okay in being handled safely and no allergies or issues with shampoos. Also they will only be toweled dried as I do not have a blow dryer or any grooming tools. I have basic brushes and scented shampoos/waterless shampoo sprays I do after their bath and are let air dry so they will be a little damp. But wanted to make sure they don't go home stinky for long stays. I spritz them up with a nice scenting doggie perfume after their visit. :) **SAFETY, TRUST, & ENVIRONMENT: My dog offers company and your pups hanging with me is more of a vacation. A home based boarding/daycare place is less stressful than a facility where it is loud and scary and dogs fall very ill from stress and can display behavioral issues from high anxiety. Such as a home setting is more in what dogs are used to and have a place to lounge, relax, play, and will be calm and quiet enjoying their time away from home. I'm aware that accidents can happen especially new dogs and I'm prepared to arrange a better potty and walk schedule for them as they adjust. I do have other clients dog's here at times but I know pretty much everyone under my care and I am very experienced in matching the right fit dog's. Each dog gets an assessment and temp test at our meet and greet before I confirm. They can't show any aggression towards me, my boyfriend, nor my dog or during their stay. Some dogs may need more space and time to adjust and I have a separate free roaming room and baby gated area if need be to keep everyone safe and separated especially when I'm taking them for walks in pairs but I rarely had to do any of that as they all learn to be good pals and coexist peacefully as you can see on my pictures. :) if for any reason your dog isn't adjusting well and is a risk to any other dogs or people I'll let you know and we can discuss options. Behaviors don't always show up right away until they are settled in and comfortable to show their true personalities. There is no reason to worry about early pick up if the stay isn't working out as I am experienced enough to keep them seperated and safe but most likely they will not be a good fit for future stays due to safety reasons. I have cozy crates as well and my cozy room if any dog needs a break from doggies or if they are too overwhelmed they have a safe spot to relax if they want to. I make sure their experience is pleasant and enjoyable and fun! Some take a little too warm up especially if they are not used to being away from owners. They get extra extra attention, love, and reassurance. It doesn't take long for them to realize "wow! This is fun and relaxing" I do send tons of cute pics/video updates as I always want you to feel at ease and know your dog is in safe hands and having such a good time. I keep all room doors closed including the bathroom and I have the baby gates blocking the main kitchen area. All they have access is the whole living room and my room. I have water bowls out that I change multiple times throughout the day and everyone is fed separated never together for safety. All of my bowls, toys, beds, bedding gets sanitized and washed after each new dog visit. My whole home is doggie/puppy proof as well and I have big dog couch that at some point ends up being a pile of pups all napping with each other lol.

This was our first time using Daniella and we couldn’t be more happy. She checked in with us on a daily basis with photos and text messages which made us feel good about the care Charlie was getting. We will differently be using Daniella again. Highly recommend.
Kelsey was absolutely amazing house sitting our dog Bleu over the Holidays! We were so happy with the care he received. She is so kind, reliable, and treated him just like family! We were provided with updates and photos multiple times a day. We will 100% be booking her again when traveling in the future. She made us feel extremely comfortable in leaving our boy for a week and provided amazing care. Bleu absolutely adores her and so do we!
