“Queenie was so great with our pups! She sent tons of pictures, was very responsive, and they seemed to enjoy hanging out with her for the weekend. We would definitely recommend Queenie to others and use her again in the future. Thank you!”
2. Meredith G.
“Our guys were in great hands, we haven’t let them with a new person in a long time and they seemed like they had a good weekend! Dexter can be particularly difficult so I’m happy he got along with Meredith and she sent some super cute pics of him being a good dog!”
3. Alyssa F.
“Alyssa was amazing! She checked in on Bailey throughout the day and was extremely accommodating around our flights! Bailey was able to socialize with her 2 dogs; who are very well behaved & trained! I never felt worried or like my animals were in any harm! She followed feeding schedules and potty breaks. My home was well taken care of as well as all three of my animals. The pictures of them made my son so excited to come home! We definitely will be booking with Alyssa again. We seriously cannot thank her enough for everything 🫶🏻”
4. Madeline N.
“Madeline took the best care of our pups while we went away for the weekend. We even had an incident that happened with our husky where we found a cyst that was infected right before we left and he had to take 5 medications and she didn’t mind following all my notes and giving him his meds twice a day. It was overwhelming to me, but Madeline handled it with ease:) she sent us pics daily and I’m already looking to book her again in the near future. Thanks Madeline!”
5. Rilee H.
“Rilee was great with Ninja! She was on time, updated us throughout, and sent us pictures. We will definitely be asking her to watch Ninja again.”
6. Addison M.
“I highly recommend Addison as a pet sitter. She is naturally good with animals and took excellent care of my dog and cats overnight. They require special care and medication twice daily and she handled that with ease. She is also very tidy and accommodating, I’ll be using her service again!”
7. Mindy K.
“Mindy did an excellent job caring for my dogs. She was very communicative and handled my excitable pup really well. Both dogs were very happy.”
8. Ashley L.
“I cant say enough about Ashley! She was excellent taking care of our dog Tucker, but went way above and beyond. We walked into a clean home and a sweet note and gift! We will always give her a call when we need a dog sitter! 😊😊😊”
9. Cory S.
“Corey was a helpful and communicative pet sitter who spent time with my dog, and was flexible. Checked in multiple times to make sure we had his services as long as they were needed. I would book with Corey again.”
10. Dani G.
“Hiring a pet sitter was a new experience for me as previously we had only cats who could be left for a short time with a feeder. Dani did really great with my dog and came by to meet him ahead of time at my request. She communicated well with me while we were gone and kept me updated on how things were going. She was flexible and worked with us to meet his normal schedule and he was happy and well cared for and the cats did well too. Will definitely use her again!”
11. Kimberlee A.
“Kimberlee is great! We needed a house sitting and she was amazing. Everything was organized and clean at our place. She's responsible, did lots of activities with our dog, snuggled with him, and sent us lots of pictures, videos and updates. We really liked her and would highly recommend! :)”
12. Zoey W.
“Zoey watched my dog and rats for two weeks while I was out of town. She was amazing, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone! She was very patient with my dog who takes a minute to warm up to people, and was accommodating of all my requests (like watering my many plants and putting out my trash). She sent photos of my babies while I was gone, and made me feel like they were enjoying their time with her while I was away! I will definitely try to book with her again in the future :)”
13. Milo W.
“The pups just LOVE you! Thanks!!”
14. Lorri C.
“Lorri was fantastic with my little guy while I went out of town. She had excellent communication with frequent photos and I felt that she genuinely cared for my dog as if it were her own. Very trustworthy and would recommend and request her again in the future!”
15. Alexa N.
“Alexa is a good communicator, professional and trustworthy. She and her dachshund Maple stayed at my house and I felt very confident that my dog was well cared for.”
16. Chace D.
“Chase was an amazing sitter and would highly recommend! Needed to book at the last minute and he was extremely accommodating. Also clearly loves dogs and was great at sending updates. Book him if you can because he was truly the best!”
17. Patrick D.
“Patrick housesat and watched our dog and kitten over the Christmas holidays. He sent us daily photos and prompt messages. On very short notice he was able to stay an extra night due to our travel delays. We would definitely schedule again for any future pet sitting 😊”

20. Kylie Z.
About: Like most people I grew up in a house with animals. Dogs, cats, rats, and I volunteered at a horse ranch down the road. Eventually I became the god mother to a cranky 20yr old eclectus parrot, which says a lot about my patience :’) I do work full time near UIUC, but thankfully my position is very flexible and I’m able to leave several times a day to check in on your fur babies! I currently have three cats that live with me, and my parents have their dog as well as mine. My beloved dog is bigger than I am and I did all of his training myself. I have experience with large and small breeds with all types of personalities, even if they’re not enthusiastic of people I’m confident I’ll make them feel safe and comfortable.
