“Yessica is awesome with my pup. She kept me informed and up to date on what was going on. She was very understanding of Lady's special needs and very professional about my pet's care. I have finally found my regular sitter.”


“My Nash had a tail wagging time. He had friends to play with and found a comfy place to sleep near a big window. Vicky provided regular updates and responding to any questions i had.”


“Great experience start to finish! Took care of our dog very well and provided daily updates with many photos. We will definitely be trust Balaji with our dog again!”


About: I have been around dogs most of my life. In relation to caring for dogs, I have 12 years of experience. We often help our friends and family with their dogs when they need a safe second home to spend the day at. I work from home certain days of the week, which will allow me to spend quality time with your pets. It would also be great to have a friend during the day for our sweet Penny when she isn’t away with her favorite and absolutely best caregivers we have been blessed with, on days when I’m in office. I live in a dog friendly townhome community. Not having a yard is no problem to us! We enjoy taking walks with dogs to ensure they receive the proper amount of exercise (of course this varies per dog’s age, needs, etc)


“Thank you Julia for everything! She sent updates on how my dog Autumn was doing. I felt comfortable leaving Autumn with Julia and we will continue booking with her for when we go out of town 😊”


About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and it’s been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve looked after pups of all sizes—from a tiny 8 lb dachshund to strong, lovable 100 lb pitbull mix. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, each with their own needs and personalities. I currently live with two spayed female dogs who are well-socialized and have peacefully cohabitated with several foster dogs since last year. I regularly volunteer with Border Tails Rescue, providing a safe, nurturing home for dogs in transition. Through fostering, I’ve gained deep experience with behavior observation, gentle training, and helping anxious or shy dogs feel secure. I’ve managed feeding routines, administered medications, and supported dogs through recovery and adjustment periods. I’m especially mindful of canine body language and group dynamics, and I only accept dogs who are friendly with others to maintain a safe, peaceful environment. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I treat every pup with patience, respect, and the kind of attention I’d want for my own. 🐶 When dog sitting, I am home all day so your pup will have lots of attention. On the rare occasion I do leave the house, it's never for more than 4 hours at a time. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly, playful dogs—Miley, a 50 lb mixed breed, and a 75 lb American Bully—who are well-socialized and enjoy respectful canine company. My securely fenced yard provides space for supervised outdoor play, and my middle school children, who are also well-versed in watching and caring for dogs, help ensure everyone feels safe and supported. I only accept dogs who are known to be dog-friendly to maintain a positive, secure environment for all.

About: I have had dogs and watched family and friends dogs since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter in the city, and raised a puppy until he found his forever home for around a year. I work locally and have flexibility to work from home as needed! I am at home all day Fridays and all weekend, and weeknights after 5pm. I have a fully fenced and gated in yard with lighting and will not let your pup out of my sight! I also have a camera at home for if I’m ever out of the house.

“Communication friendly and understanding of our dogs needs when we express be was having stomach issues. Luckily he recover by the time we scheduled Anita and she kept an open line of communication.”


“Dar and her wonderful family took great care of Roxie, and checked in with me every day to let me know how she was doing. We would definitely use them again next time we travel.”


“We really appreciated Christina's professional and accommodating nature. Also I am no expert eventhough we have a dog. Christina seemed to be very in control and much needed with our little spoiled baby. Our diya's pictures looked as if she was quite happy and adjusted in Christina's home and I would strongly recommend Christina as well as would be happy to utilize her if we are traveling next time around. Thank you Christina for being really good with our Diya.”


“Third time our puppies stay with Rhondarose! I feel I can enjoy my trips because I know my two goldens are in good hands. I love all the pictures I get and the daily check in message. They look like they are having a blast with her.”


“Donna was absolutely outstanding. Five stars aren't nearly enough to describe how absolutely pleased I am. Donna was the absolute next best thing to being there myself. I didn't have to spend even a second wondering how Iris was doing, as she kept me up to date with her walks, meals, and even trips to the park. (She even sent lovely photos of Iris snuggling under the covers!) You can tell Donna has had a ton of dog experience. Iris can be very slow to warm to folks and can be a bit nervous, but she instantly hit it off with Donna. This was my first time leaving Iris with someone other than family, and I truly can't thank Donna enough for putting any anxiousness at ease--Iris's or mine. ;) Thank you so, so, so much, Donna!”


“We originally booked 4 day boarding but with bad weather in Chicago it ended up being 6 days at the last minute and Yuliia was flexible and kind to let Kobe extend his stay. Yuliia is super sweet and I can tell she truly loves playing with dogs. My puppy received tons of love, belly rubs, walks everyday and she sent me pictures and videos throughout the day to keep me updated. She is absolutely amazing and we can’t wait for Kobe to get some more time with her.”


“Eileen was AMAZING with our dog Charlie! She sent lots of photos and commentary on how he was doing during his 5 day stay with him. She took him on private walks, gave him lots of play time in her yard and played games with him to keep him busy (and even let him sleep on her bed!). She was also very responsive throughout his stay, accommodating to us in our drop off/pick up times and very knowledgable about dogs in general. We will definitely have Charlie board with Eileen again in the future! She's a true animal lover!”


“Lori is amazing!! My Honu has trouble trusting folks but he feels right at home with her! Very thankful for the awesome communication, pictures, love, and care she gave! We love Lori so much we recommend her to my sister for her doggy as well. Highly recommend Lori! ❤”


“My bichon poodle could not have been happier to be around other small pups during her visit over spring break. Diana even gave my dog fresh dog food when my dog wasn’t eating at all. Seems like my pup was so happy during her stay! Will book again! Thanks Diana.”



“Our dog Luna absolutely loved staying with Ewa! She got lots of attention and enjoyed socializing with other dogs. We also appreciated Ewa’s flexibility when our flight was delayed and we needed to extend Luna’s stay. This was Luna’s second boarding with Ewa and we will be back again!”


“Cindy and her family took wonderful care of our Archie! She provided updates and pics of Archie during his stay and always communicated with me from the meet & greet to drop off & pickups! They are totally trustworthy and we hope to use Cindy again as our regular Petsitter!”

Joanna L.
“Joanna fostered the puppy- Maeve- that we adopted in June. Joanna was able to tell us all about Maeve’s temperament with other dogs and children. Joanna was friendly and easy to talk to. When we adopted Maeve, she was mostly housebroken, thanks to Joanna! Since we had been able to talk to Joanna about Maeve beforehand, adopting her was a very smooth transition! Joanna also gave us her cell phone number so that we could continue to ask her any questions about Maeve after adoption. We had a great experience adopting Maeve and working with Joanna as her foster mom. Joanna would be a great pet sitter!”
