Ray was great! He sent lots of pictures and updates and consulted me on pretty much everything I hadn't left instructions for. Also, he was very accommodating when I booked him for the wrong dates initially and had to switch things up while I was on my trip. I will definitely book Ray again if I need another house sitter or dog walker.

Joanna was amazing. My pups loved her and she went above and beyond to care for them. I felt rest assured they were in good hands while I was out of town. I highly recommend her and I will be having her come again in the future.

Jo is just a great person. Period. She always goes above and beyond in caring for and entertaining our dogs, whether it’s bringing over her best enrichment toys or finding our dog’s favorite Real Housewives franchise to watch together. For this house sitting, Jo watched our newer puppy for the first time. He can be vocally reactive on walks and has some unique methods for managing his behavior. For Jo, it was no sweat. And during this house stay, my husband and I happened to be in Puerto Vallarta during the recent cartel rampage. Not only did Jo make sure that our doggos would be cared for regardless of when we made it back to the States, but she also made a genuine effort to check in on our general well-being. Like I said, she’s just a great person.

About: Hi! My name is Jai (rhymes with pie) and I love animals of all kinds! I've had pets my entire life and one of my favorite things is taking them (yes, even my cats) on walks to explore the outdoors and get their exercise in. I'm a teacher looking for a fun summer side gig and I would love to not only feed and walk your pets, but play with them and show them love and affection. I am currently a teacher on summer vacation with some part-time nannying and babysitting work. My schedule is very free and clear this summer to be able to take care of you pets whenever you may need. I'm a quick learner and once I know where all the pet stuff is I will be able to provide the best quality care for them. I have experience with administering medication, as well as potty training/taking dogs out on a consistent schedule.

Renee did AMAZING dog sitting while I was out of town. She sent me constant updates and pictures, and asked questions when she was hesitant about something, which was so reassuring. I can tell my dog LOVED her. Plus she left my place so clean which was very appreciated! Will definitely be booking many more times

About: I am kind, I have experience with pets of any age, I can control 4-5 pets at the same time, I quickly recognize danger and aggression, I adapt to the pet’s mood and temperament, I walk in any weather, I understand the signs of illness, I monitor bowel movements, I know that means vomiting, I control the pet’s ammunition, I don’t allow it to pick up scraps from the ground, licking, I control the time, reliable control and protection. I have a lot of free time, so I’m ready to give it to your pets’ pleasures, games, and walks at their pace according to their age. I am from Ukraine, from the city of Kyiv, I have a quick reaction, I know many animal diseases, I know how a pet behaves, and if something bothers him, I can warn the pet owner about it in time. I have two dogs and a cat, I found them on the street and saved them from hunger and cold, my husband is now in Ukraine in the city of Kyiv with our pets in our apartment, men are not allowed out of the country. I am an official rescue and care volunteer, and I am also looking for good families for rescued and found animals in my country, I have a volunteer registration certificate, and I have many years of experience in my country. I know how to walk pets and I know how to protect your pet from the aggression of other animals, and how not to lose it while walking. I walked with my pets exactly as many times as they asked me to, I am attentive to my pets, I protect them from danger, and I control the entire area while walking with them. If I see that a large pet is coming towards us and I don’t know him, I take my pets away so that a conflict does not occur. I am attentive to all pets.

About: I've been surrounded by the pets of friends and family for my whole life, as a college student, I love petsitting over summer break! I've worked with a diverse range of animals, providing care such as baths, walks, feeding, and most importantly, cuddling! I have experience with dogs with anxiety who need medication as well. I have tons of free time over summer break, and I'd love to help out with your furry friends. Currently on summer break, so pet care would fit seamlessly into my schedule. I'm used to dedicating my summers to animal care, so driving to multiple locations for feedings/walks multiple times a day, or overnight stays, is no problem. I live in an apartment with no front or back yard but am located right across the street from a large park. It may be a little small, but there is more than enough room for animals to roam around. As for pet care outside of the home, I take these duties very seriously and am more than happy to visit multiple times a day, or as necessary. I also frequently take pictures/videos to send updates, and am happy to do so at your immediate request.

About: Ive had a variety of pets in my life, including birds, fish and hamsters. I’ve never had a dog or cat of my own, but have always wanted one. I’ve dog-sat for friends and family consistently throughout my life, and have always had a special connection with dogs in particular. I hope to have a dog of my own one day. But until I can truly dedicate the time, space and finances to making sure they have the best life possible, I can find peace in playing with and taking care of any dog who might need my help. I work remotely full-time as a graphic designer, so as long as I have my laptop and Wi-Fi, traveling to a home is not a problem. It also will allow me to take many breaks to walk or play with your dog as much as they may need. I can only accommodate a smaller dog in my home, since I have other people in the house. When tending to a dog in a clients home, I can fit any preference they may have. Again, my only non-negotiable obligation is my full-time job, which is remote.

Joanna was an immediate hit with Claire my now one-year old Havanese. She was also a hit with my extended family who I am visiting. She proved to be a wonderful companion and source of play and a calming presence in a house and neighborhood that was new to Claire. Always enjoyed the photo and story updates. My sister looks forward to having Joanna become part of their world when they get new dogs in the coming year having lost theirs this past year. She will be a constant for me when I return for my next stay in Chicago. Thank you Joanna!

Casey was amazing with my very attached Doberman. I really appreciated that she took the time to come for a meet and greet beforehand so she could get to know him and make sure he felt comfortable. She was very thorough and i could tell she really cared about providing the best care. She kept me updated with detailed messages and adorable pictures and videos that gave me peace of mind. She treated my home with respect. I appreciate her communication, reliability, and kindness and would trust her with my pup again.

He asked thoughtful questions and took great care in looking out for our entire household. He’s hands down the best pet sitter we’ve had, and we will absolutely be using him again!

We just got back from a week long vacation and I cannot tell you how relieved I was that Liz was with our pups. She was able to handle their vast personalities and medical needs effortlessly. We have a very skittish rescue who I was worried about the most. Much to my relief I came home to a very happy puppy...I think she not so secretly misses Liz. She sent us lots of photos and funny stories about the girls. It really helped put me at ease. Thank you again Liz, I feel so much better about the idea of vacations now that I know I have someone I can leave the girls with who will care for them like they are their own.

Stephanie is truly exceptional. This was our first time entrusting all four of our pets and our home to someone else, and she exceeded every expectation. From the very first interaction through the entire stay, she was consistently available, highly responsive, and incredibly thorough with her updates. What impressed us most was how quickly our pets felt at ease—something that speaks volumes about her care, attention, and natural connection with animals. She earned not only their trust, but ours as well. Stephanie delivers a level of professionalism and peace of mind that is simply outstanding. We cannot recommend her highly enough, and we will absolutely check her availability before planning any future trips.
