“Ruben was fantastic with communication and care of our dogs. Thank you so much for caring for our babies as a part of your family and for the updates throughout the day. We will be rebooking for future use as the need arises. :)”

About: I have had a total of 9 dogs in my lifetime. I currently have 2 with GREAT temperaments so your dogs will always have friends to play with but if you would like them to stay separated, then I can do that as well. I treat my dogs like they’re family because they are. I don’t support the abuse, neglect or mistreatment of ANY pet and especially not in my presence. I will do my best to keep your dogs safe and continue any pet training style currently in place. I know the fear of leaving your babies in the hands of another person, especially one you don’t know. My jobs is to put you at ease. Hopefully I can become a regular to you and your pet. We can all be one big happy family together. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always available to give your dogs time and attention while you’re away. My son has been raised with dogs and loves them just as much as I do. I have a fenced front yard and back yard. I can also crating if you prefer. It’s your world and I’m just living in it.

“Diamond is an amazing sitter! She truly cares for the dogs she looks after and keeps you at ease with regular updates. My Leo came back home so tired and happy-which says everything, and he honestly didn’t even want to leave her place! Her dogs are wonderful as well and got along perfectly with mine, which made the whole experience even better. Diamond is reliable, punctual, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”

About: Please note - I can only host dogs that get along well with other dogs, as I usually watch more than one dog at a time. Hi! I'm Maggie. 👋🏼 I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. From my very first poodle when I was five years old to my sweet pup today, dogs have been one of the greatest sources of love, joy, and companionship in my life. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets while they're away, and I've learned that every dog is unique. Some are full of energy and eager to play, while others need a little extra patience, reassurance, or time to feel comfortable in a new environment. Helping each dog feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pups with a variety of medical and emotional needs. I'm comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each dog's individual routine. Whether it's supporting a nervous dog through separation anxiety, encouraging a picky eater, or simply offering extra cuddles to a pup who's missing home, I believe that thoughtful, individualized care can make all the difference. To me, caring for dogs isn't just about feeding, walking, or playtime. It's about creating a space where they feel loved, secure, and truly at home until their favorite humans return. I can't wait to bond with your best friend! Caring for pups is the main thing I do currently, other than driving Uber when I'm not booked, and some house chores or studying from home. I will be at home with your pups at all times and I will have plenty of free time to play and interact with them. We have a large porch and fully fenced back-yard with a large tree where all pups love to run around and play. If the weather is nice, we are likely to spend most of the day outside, either at home or Palmer's park across the street. We allow our pups and guest pups on the couches and beds. I make sure the pups get a lot of attention and interactions, and also some needed down-time.

“Leaving Luna with Christine was such a great experience. Christine was extremely communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She left us with the most adorable goody bag as well, with a Polaroid to commemorate Luna’s stay. Above and beyond - would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”

Eric R.

“Maverick (6 month old Sheltie mix) and I had such a great first experience with Elliott! He truly knows what he’s doing, Maverick was comfortable with him immediately - quickly eliminating my concern about separation anxiety. In just one conversation, he passed along so much knowledge on puppy behavior and how to correct some issues. They spent the whole day together, as I was receiving video updates seeing Maverick play with the other dogs - such a constant relief! I highly highly recommend Elliott!”

“Raquel was able to help us out on our trip to Chicago by watching our guy Monty on short notice. Monty had a great afternoon with her. Appreciate the doggy daycare and would definitely do it again !”

“Erica did a great job with Chloe and I very much appreciated her coming out to meet me when I dropped Chloe off and picked her up!”

Jennie Y.

“Yasmine was wonderful with my very energetic dog. Her own dog is well-behaved and serves as a great role model for other dogs. When my dog came home, he was happy, tired, and completely content, a clear sign that he had a fantastic time. She lives close to a large dog park where dogs can run, play, and burn off their energy while having the time of their lives. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with Yasmine and plan to do so regularly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter and excellent company for their dog.”

“Archie had the best time with Maria and her pup! They went to the park and he came home feeling so happy relaxed! 11/10 would recommend any pet parent to book!! Thank you!! 😊”

Pamela B.

“We were visiting Chicago for a graduation and left our young golden retriever with Jennifer and her family. They have a nice yard set up and there were other dogs there for her to play with. They sent a video each day, which we appreciated, as well. Thank you!”

Nancy D.

“Barbara took GREAT care of my pup, sending a few vids during the sitting. And I could tell he had a great day, was tuckered out, as he usually is when he's been active. Very appreciative of her care, especially on such short notice.”

Tiffany O.

“Dash has stayed with Stephanie several times--she's so amazing! It's always hard when I have to leave Dash, even just for the day, but I know he's in good hands with Stephanie and is well taken care of. I can't thank her enough for all her help 🐕💕”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles. I work from home. My pup and I go for a walk through the park or around the neighborhood first thing at 7:30 am and then usually breakfast is serve. We go back four our next walk at 11:30/12 then we go out again after work at 5pm. This one’s a longer walk and we follow that with play time and dinner. :) That is followed by cuddles. I will send you super cute updated images so you can see what fun your fur baby is up to :) . I also have a fenced small backyard incase your pup wants to do some light leash free jogging with me.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. Cats, Dogs, Fish, Frogs, Turtles, Ferrets, Hamsters, you name it! I truly love our furry and non furry friends. Animal Behavior experience. I’ve volunteered at several animal shelters in my free time. I work from home! So almost all of my free time will be dedicated to your furbabies! I’m available 24 hours a day even for last minute bookings, emergencies. etc. i understand that life can be unpredictable so let me make yours a little easier. My home is an extremely welcoming environment. It’s private and quiet. I have secured gates on both my front and backyard so your pets will be safe. Both yards are cleaned daily to maintain safety and health. Plenty of open space for your dog(s) to roam. They will have access to both yards to do nose work, play fetch, sun themselves, get fresh air, dig and just run around and play. I have access to several parks and quiet streets in the area for walk times, potty, training, and exercise. They will have access to fresh water, my bed, several pet beds, couch, bedroom beds, blankets, and an XXL crate (only should you want your pet to be crated). I have google home in my house to play soft music or green noise for nervous pets! I have toys, chews, treats, snuffle mats, slow feeders, and treat puzzles for indoor mental stimulation. Pets will be able to free roam 24/7 unless you request or require otherwise. I do have several extra bedrooms if you’d like to isolate them, or if they need to be isolated for any reason. Since this is a pet friendly area, all cleaning supplies/products are kept in an area that is inaccessible to pets. Your dogs will always be safe on walks as I double check harnesses and collars, typically use double leashes, or carry an extra with me. And reinforce re-call with treats and positive reinforcement. If your dog is very small or disabled, I will gladly carry them outside for walks so that they may still get fresh air and mental stimulation. My phone will be on and available for you to check on your pet as much as you’d like. I will send you several updates, pictures/videos, and keep communication open daily.

About: As experienced dog sitter, I’ve discovered that taking care of other people’s dogs has become a beloved hobby. Unfortunately, we can’t have a dog of our own right now, but that makes looking after other’s dogs all the more special. I recently moved from Amsterdam to Chicago. In Amsterdam I used a similar app called “petbnb” and dog sitted a lot of dogs. Here, I love going for walks and discover the city with the dog. Whether you are going away for a short or long time, I’ll warmly welcome your dog, give them plenty of love, and provide them with a temporary home 💕 I look forward to meeting your dog! Flexible and hybrid working from home and office! So I can decide for every week when I will work from the office and when not. Give them the attention they need. And I would make sure they don’t do anything different from what they were taught. And doing lots of walks!

“Super kind, flexible, communicative and responsive.”
