“Norma was an incredible dog sitter for my Orion. While I was out of state missing my sweet boy she sent daily updates and photos which made me feel so comfortable leaving him with her family. Orion had a blast and I know we will definitely use them again when we need someone to watch Orion.”

“Jackie is beyond amazing. My very anxious fur baby has become so much more comfortable (and happy!) with overnight stays thanks to the patience Jackie and her family have taken to make her feel at home. There’s no one else I trust to take such great care of her!”

I would definitely refer her to everybody around and also will contact her again if we happen to need someone to watch Skylar again. Five stars!!!”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was young. I've always had a dog growing up! After moving to Sycamore in 1998, I moved into a farm. We had almost every farm animal, as well as cats. I've had all of my dogs from puppies until the end. Come summer, I am free all the time! I work at the school district! Just weekends are softball. My oldest is on a traveling team! I will follow what is needed to be done with your pet! Treat your pet like my own fur baby. Always lots of love and treats (if that’s okay with the treats lol)

“This was the first time leaving our dog anywhere. I was instantly comfortable with it during the meet and greet. Their knowledge for and love of dogs is tremendous. Our dog had a great stay and came home tired and happy! We would highly recommend them, and would love to have Dodger stay there again the next time we are able to get away!”

Our dog had a great time running around their yard and playing with their dogs. They sent videos and picture updates to let us know how he did. We definitely recommend their services!”

“We were fortunate to find Shannon. We have a somewhat special needs dog (Sandy) and didn’t think we could find an appropriate sitter. But Sandy quickly accepted Shannon and her two beautiful dogs, Lex and Captain Black. We were able to enjoy a worry free trip knowing Sandy was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Shannon and will use her service in the future.”
