Kellie was so great with our boy, Tyson for a weekend. She communicated clearly before the trip, during our trip (we loved the updates!), and after. She was respectful of our home and a perfect house guest. Tyson was immediately comfortable with her and we were so comforted knowing he was not only being taken care of, but really loved on, while we were gone. We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.

Angela did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our cat. She was very responsive to our emails and provided us with peace of mind when she sent us updates along with their pictures! The house was immaculate and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Angela and we will definately use Angela again in the future!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs specifically of all sizes since I was younger. There has never been a moment where there wasn’t a dog in my life. I believe that caring for pets or owning them is one of the best things you can do in this world. I also have no problem watching and caring for cats as well. People call me the “jack of all pets”! As a student at Northern Illinois University, my schedule tends to be busy during the school year. So communication is a must. In the winter and fall I still offer all of my services. I'm fully available during the summer months and can walk dogs at any time! When dog-sitting in any household, I never stray far from their side. I ensure they have all necessities and engage them in play to keep them occupied, promoting peaceful sleep through the night.

Emma is a great pet sitter in my own personal experience. I have a few more uncommon pets and Emma is a fast learner and able to do anything that I needed done for my pets. She goes above and beyond and makes sure to ask all the right questions and making me feel confident leaving my pets in her care. She is kind and compassionate and puts 110% into making sure a job is done right. I have only had great experiences with Emma and cannot recommend her enough.

Erika did great while house sitting with our dog! She has very good communication and sent photos of my dog throughout the day which I highly appreciated. It was great not having to stress how my dog was doing while she was alone because Erika was there! Couldn’t thank her enough!!

Meghan stayed with my dogs for 4 days while we were out of town for the holidays, last minute. She did a fantastic job, and I'd highly recommend her!! Her communication stood out from the beginning—she was quick to respond and provide helpful information. When we left, the dogs were immediately comfortable staying with her. Meghan had sent multiple updates throughout the day while we were gone. She's incredibly responsive, responsible, trustworthy, and great with animals. Would absolutely asked her to help out again and would highly recommend her!

About: For about 4-5 years I’ve been on and off taking care of dogs from puppies to elders. I’ve helped raise and train my parent’s puppies for the past three years and have helped all sorts of family, friends and neighbors with all sorts of dogs. I have a cat and have cat-sat others for about 2-3 years as well as helped with reptiles, fish, rodents and birds. I work part time at a bank so whenever I have a free second I’m usually out and about checking in on pets, feeding them or walking dogs. I’m very list orientated so making a good list/schedule for your pet care is my top priority. I make sure I play with all my pets for a little while a few times a day when I’m home and give multiple pets individual attention. If I'm gone for work or something other I’m never out for more than a few hours.

Vlad was professional, on time, and kept us updated throughout the booking. Its was comforting having Vlad and Madi stay the weekend in our home and care for our 3 dogs. Vlad & Madi gave our dogs plenty of walks and attention. We'd definitely recommend and will use them again.

Jesse grew up in a home where the animals always outnumbered the people, and he loved and tended to them faithfully and patiently. As an adult, he took in a stray puppy and gave her a loving and adventuresome life. He's taken care of friend's pets as well as his own. Animals know right away that he's their friend. He's highly responsible in all areas of his life and able to deal calmly with problems or emergency situations if they arise. He's trustworthy. You'll feel comfortable having your precious baby in his care.

Megan is fantastic. She communicates really well and supported me with some change of plans in the middle of my trip. She is kind, caring and an amazing woman. She put me at ease and Abby just loved her. She was even looking out the window for an hour after Megan left! Definitely recommend.

Morgan does an amazing job taking care of our 10 year old beagle which can be challenging as our dog occasionally has seizures requiring reassurance and care to get through the crisis. Our beagle is always happy to see her and greets her at the door when she arrives. I highly recommend Morgan to care for your beloved pet.
