My dog is well taken care of with this sweet family. I’m so grateful to find reliable care as I start a new job. Their little dog is so cute, and I love that Wolfy has some company.

We were so blessed that Bob was not only available on a Saturday at short notice, but willing to watch our three fur babies, one them elderly and in need of medication! We are from out of state, and had to bring the dogs with us. Saturday required us to be a part of an all-day 50th anniversary celebration, so the dogs needed to be attended to for 10 hours. Bob was incredibly gracious, caring, and attentive to details about our furbies; especially our sweet Maddie, who is blind and requires medication three times a day. What a gift to us to not have to worry about them! We received updates throughout the evening, and when we returned to pick them up, all was well. The pups were happy and had a good time. Bob, we will look for you again if we are ever in Chicago with our dogs. I cannot express how grateful we are to have found you!

Eileen is wonderful! Our dog requires special attention due to a recent surgery. I was hesitant on leaving him with anyone. She was great with the special needs he required. She was attentive to him and kept us posted on his daily stay with her. She included pictures as well. Will be using Eileen again. Hoping that our pooch is better with his surgery at that time.

This is the first time we’ve had someone (who is not our family) watch our dog. I was very nervous especially be in Poppy is young - she’s just a year old. Noor watched Poppy for a day. Noor was so patient with her - poppy was initially apprehensive to go in their house, but Noor took her time to ensure Poppy was comfortable. Noor asked questions about feeding, walks, general behavior & preferences. this put me at ease knowing she was thinking these. We did this trial daycare in preparation for a longer stay for Poppy later this year. Noor was also very communicative with texts and also a video! We were happy with the care poppy received and plan to book with Noor again!

About: I have grown up with many animals, including exotic animals. We have a grooming station in home and love animals of all types and breeds. I haven’t accept exotic animals as well. I have owned horses, mini pigs inside my house, sugar, gliders, chinchillas, hamsters, lizards, cat, dogs, ferrets, I’m probably forgetting a few more. I have an open schedule and care for my pets very well. My dog even gets dental cleanings every year. My favorites get their nails cut and bathed weekly. I have multiple dog beds, a cat tower tons of toys for all different red animals. Have a fenced in backyard, grooming, station, and home. I have extra cages or tanks if need be. I prefer not to kettle animals unless they need to be under the owners agreement.

Naomi & Johann took wonderful care of Javy. I made a last minute, same day request and they came thru. I knew immediately upon dropping Javy off that he would be in good hands. They introduced Javy to their dog, Milo, expertly and they were both affectionate with Javy right away. She sent photos and a video and I could tell Javy was very comfortable & happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

About: I am the proud mother of two adult daughters who love working for Rover! I retired from teaching after 20 years and am now a mental health therapist. I’ve had dogs or cats almost my whole life and would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for yours! I treat all pets with unconditional love and understanding. I work remotely from home full-time Mondays through Fridays & am able to give potty breaks in the morning, afternoon & evenings. I run errands on Saturdays & Sundays so am able to spend quality time w/ your pet at least every 4 hours on the weekends. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs can freely play throughout my house and are welcome to sit on the furniture and beds as they like.

About: As a Mommy and animal enthusiast - I take immense pride and joy in my care for ALL babies! We tend to forget that It takes a village to raise ‘em right and I’d be honored to be the chosen addition to helping you raise yours. I currently work “on-call” meaning I have ample amount of free time to invest in to my relationship with your fur babies. Whilst I am a devoted stickler when it comes to scheduling, I also understand that life happens and flexibility is a necessity. I can't allow pets in my apartment because they have a no pet policy allowed but I'm more than able to house sit in the client's home.

I am so blessed to have found her not far from home to watch over my 13 months old high energy puppy. After the first dog sitter he came to crash in his crate. He had no energy to not even jump. As first time dog owner- I have no idea what I’m doing but Jackie sure is a dog whisperer.

My two pups had a great time at daycare for the last 3 days while I was in town on business. Pattie & Mike were super flexible as this was a last minute booking, and kept us updated with adorable pics showing how much fun they were having all day. One of my pups is typically very shy around new people and will shake or hide behind us, but on our second day she went straight to them, happy as can be, wagging like crazy at dropoff. I know my girls are in good hands here, and will definitely be using Pattie again when I'm in town.

Cristina has a big heart and a beautiful home and yard. My senior pup has a lot of separation anxiety and needs a lot of love and support. So, I am always very anxious when I leave her with someone new. Cristina's warmth, kindness, and professionalism immediately put me at ease. My little Yoshi was well taken care of and I will definitely be asking Cristina to take care of her again. I highly recommend her!
