1. Giada W.

“Giada went above and beyond our expectations. She came out after a horrific weather event here last week in Palatine. She even sent us pics and updates of the storm damage done to our property too as well as telling us our kitty was safe!”


2. Evelyn D.

“Evelyn was such a pleasure to meet! My dogs (and even my cat!) quickly took to her. She was gracious enough to search around for any potty accidents when my new puppy escaped from her gated area. My dogs were worn out from all the playing they did. Thank you so much Evelyn!”


3. Erica G.

“Erica was great with our Lola! She was on time for the drop-ins, sent us many pictures and updates each visit. Lola was very comfortable with her and she really enjoyed her company.”


4. Laura & Ryan A.

“Laura kept me updated on how the cats were - I was away for just a weekend on this occasion but I will certainly book Laura and Ryan again for any trips of more than just a couple of days.”


5. Kati C.


“Kati did a great job taking care of our cat. She arrived as scheduled. Spent lots of time with him and made sure the house was locked up and the alarm was set. Katie also sent lots of feedback and pictures😊”


6. Doug G.

“We’ve been using Doug as a pet sitter for a while now, and we highly recommend him. Doug is not only reliable but also genuinely enthusiastic about caring for our cats. We never have to worry about anything when they’re in his care. He ensures they get plenty of attention, including playtime and cuddles, which helps keep them happy while we’re away. Our cats require daily medication, and Doug handles this with ease, showing he’s comfortable with more complex care needs. I highly recommend his services to anyone—your pets will be in excellent hands, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for.”


7. Marta S.
“Marta is the biggest animal lover that I know. Her love for animals started at a very young age and has never faltered. In addition, Marta takes everything she does and puts her whole heart into it and is always someone you can count on. Any of your furry babies would be lucky to have her as their walker:)”


8. Anthony P.

“Anthony did an excellent job. He was punctual and cared for my pet as expected. His report included photos, activities checklist, and general notes. I will definitely re-book him in the future.”


9. Jessica M.


“We love Jessica! I hired Jessica to come over and help me clean the litter boxes and refill dry cat food after I had surgery and couldn't lift anything more than 8 lbs. She was always on time and provided clear and prompt communication. I couldn't have survived the first-week post-surgery without her! But she also exceeded the expectations of my six kitties, five of whom are very skittish because they were a stray cat family (momma + 4 kittens) that chose my home to be theirs about 13 years ago. My cats usually hide when someone unknown comes over, but not Jessica. They came out and greeted her, rubbing her legs (sorry about the cat fur, Jessica) and purring and meowing at her. I will definitely hire Jessica again to care for my kitties - she's a kind soul and my kitties gave their stamp of approval which means everything to me. Thank you, Jessica!!”




10. Katerina K.


“Katerina did a great job stopping in to see our DJ every day while we were out of town and providing pictures and videos that were greatly appreciated. Her flexibility was also fantastic as we decided to extend our time away by about another week. During the whole time, Katerina took care of our cat and our house and we greatly appreciated that she could help us out. We will definitely use Katerina again!!”


11. Jennifer M.

“Jennifer did a great job making sure my cat was well taken care of. She kept me posted and sent pictures and updates the whole time I was gone.”


12. Jae S.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Jae as a pet caregiver! Jae is responsible, reliable, and genuinely loves animals, she loves spending time with them and taking care of them. It’s clear that Jae has a deep understanding of pet needs and always goes the extra mile to ensure their safety and well-being. Leaving your pets with her will be one of their best pet-sitting experiences, ever.”




13. Mia C.

“Mia loves animals, and they know.. Mine were immediately happy when she stopped in to meet them. Her drop ins were great, she was very communicative and timely. She's my go to for pet care and I highly recommend her. Thank you Mia.!”


14. Tania F.

“Tania was great with my cats. She was communicative and she played with them. It's never easy to leave your pets behind, but Tania was caring and made me feel better about leaving. My cats really liked her and we will book her again!”


15. Bethany C.

“Beth is very responsible. She Checked in on our two dogs for a few days. The dogs were happy when we returned. We will use her in the future!”


16. Darien W.

“Darien did a wonderful job looking after our senior cat! She took great care of him and also looked after our house to make sure there were no messes - she even took our garbage out and brought packages in! She went above and beyond and we would highly recommend her! Thank you, Darien!”


17. Natalie N.
“I can not recommend Natalie enough! She has created a special bond between her and each of my pets. She genuinely enjoys spending time walking with the dogs. She’s very patient and understands each dogs personality. Natalie is very reliable making it easy to trust her with any animal, she goes the extra mile to provide a fun experience for your pet”


18. Kristine K.
“Kristine is taking care of my dog Ellie for a while now and I am very lucky to have her. She is responsible and I know my dog is in good hands when she is with Kristine. Lilly loves when she comes over, always welcomes her. I would recommend Kristine to anyone that has a need for a dog sitter.”

About: I was raised with dogs and cats growing up and believe that nothing can match the unconditional love of a pet in a home. I have almost 10 yrs experience boarding dogs and cats, the last 8 yrs with Rover. Now with a steady long term following and over 100-5 star reviews, I am committed as ever to help your pet feel at home in my home. At this time most of my work is inside the of the house. I love to go for walks around the neighborhood and could take your dog too. I believe a walked dog is a happy dog. I also get as much information about your pet so that I can try to be consistent with what they are used to at home. I accept dogs up to 23 lbs. About my yard My backyard has a chainlink fence and I am on a 1/2 acre lot. It is secure with lots of room to run and play. My patio door leads right to the backyard so that I can monitor your pet when outside. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with administering medication. I allow your pet full access to the whole house. This includes furniture if they are allowed. There is a security gate around the front door for extra protection. I like to walk your pets and play fetch too! I will treat your pet the way I would want someone to care for mine. Like one of the family. :) I am only working outside the house part-time in the afternoon a couple of days a week so I am home alot. I like to go for walks, weather permitting so I would bring your dog along if desired. I set aside play time and invite them to be in whatever room I am in. I have a sliding patio door in the kitchen on the main floor where I mostly hang out. I let pups out often in case they don't know how to tell me at first. I also set aside time for walks and playtime. I try to keep the same feeding schedule that your pet has at home when possible and that goes for treats as well. I always make sure there is plenty of water and comfortable places for them to lay around and even look out the window for their paw patrol duty. Oh and we all love cat naps!
