“Jessica was flexible and reliable. We felt very comfortable leaving Selah in her hands an we would definitely use her again. Selah seemed to love being with Jessica and her daughter. They even took her in the car for an outing which she loves.”


“Pallvi and her family were great with Teddy! He had some last-minute medical issues and they were fabulous about adjusting their care to administer medication and keep an eye on his health. They were prompt with their communication and Teddy came home tired and happy. Thank you for taking such great care of Teddy!”


“Brian and his family were awesome. I had some anxiety about leaving my little guy. I received daily updates which came with pictures. I knew he was in a good home when I saw how comfortable he was. When Brian noticed that my little guy hadn’t eaten a lot one day, he added beef broth to his meal. This surely encouraged my little guy to eat. The family enjoyed his stay and he enjoyed them as well. Thank you, Brian and your family for being so accommodating, responsive, and flexible.”


“Derek and his family have been really caring with my dog Adele. She has enjoyed the stay playing with their lovely dog Elle. Derek has sent us pictures and updates so it has been a relief to see how happy was my dog with this family. We will repeat for sure!”


“Taylor is awesome! She did a wonderful job caring for our boys while we were on vacation. There were constant updates to ease our minds, so we could enjoy our trip. We could tell our boys were being loved and having a great time through those updates too. We definitely appreciated that. We highly recommend Taylor for her professionalism, care, friendliness, and more. She is an amazing person who just loves dogs, and treats every single one like her own.”


“Hey pet parents, have I got a recommendation for you! Kristine and her daughter stepped up last minute to take care of my furry friend, and let me tell you, they were amazing. Not only did Kristine provide regular updates and photos, but her daughter even taught my dog some new tricks. Talk about going above and beyond! If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I can confidently say that Kristine is the one to call. Don't stress about leaving your pup behind, trust me, they'll be in good hands with Kristine. So go ahead and give her a shout, you won't regret it!”



“Peggy and her husband were wonderful. My husband and I felt so comfortable leaving our baby with them, and felt even more reassured when we picked her up and you could just tell that she was WELL taken care of! She was so excited she really couldn't choose between all of us, and just keep going in a circle to everyone. We know that Coco had a great time, we got pictures sent to us, and this is a house that truly loves animals. Your dog will be sitting on the couch right next to Peggy when it's time to come get your furbaby! If you are looking for a warm, friendly home to let your pet stay at - this is where to go. We are so happy that we found Peggy and her husband, and we would definitely use them again. THANK YOU!!! :)”



“This was our first time leaving our dog, Odin. We were anxious to leave him to say the least. He is high energy and requires a lot of attention. Jennifer made us feel so comfortable right off the bat. She sent us updates/pictures each day we were gone, which made us so happy! We postponed our wedding due to COVID, so we did a mini-getaway for our “wedding day”. We didn’t have to worry once on our vacation and it was so nice knowing he was getting the proper love and care. He came home smelling clean and was very happy. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“This was the first time we have used a sitter for our pup outside of family or close friends, and Ashley and her family were simply wonderful. She provided daily updates, fun photos and videos, and gave me comfort that our pup was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Ashley, and we will be return visitors!”


“Cristina was an absolute dream of a sitter for our dog! I could not have asked for a better caregiver. She kept me updated my entire trip and truly went above and beyond. Lucy had the best time playing with her new friends and we’ve already booked Cristina for 2 more trips! I HIGHLY recommend her! Lucy can’t wait to go back! Thank you, Cristina!!”


“Maria was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew he was in great hands. She took him on long, enjoyable walks and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria was incredibly responsive and clearly treated our dog with so much love and care. He came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored his time with her. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”


“Thank you Jill, for taking such good care of Snowball when we were away. Just knowing she was in good hands, being well fed and going on walks, gave us great peace of mind. You are an amazing sitter, and I will be recommending your services to all of our friends and family.”


“I don't know where to start. They took care of our dog for 8 days and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying. I received daily updates with pictures, videos and kind words. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter’s family and I will use them again without doubt. Thank You!!”


“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”


“The good news is I found a sitter I can trust with Zeke and I'll never have to search for another. I picked Zeke up to go home and he didn't want to leave. I had to physically pick him up and place him in the car. He obviously bonded with Jennifer's pooch, Pearl as indicated by the photos she sent. I HIGHLY recommend Jennifer”


“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Pringle! You kept us updated every day and we truly appreciate it. I would absolutely recommend you to anyone, and I’m sure we’ll be booking with you again in the future!”


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)
