“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”
“This was my first time using Rover. The process was very easy. It was also the first time leaving my anxious dog with strangers. Rossana was wonderful - she was confident, calm and reassuring..

About: Hi, my name is Rick. I would like to start by saying my schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired from the Office of the Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County. My family and I have a home that has plenty of space to accommodate your pet. We have an 11-year-old son and also have three small dogs of our own that are extremely friendly, playful, up-to-date with all of their shots, and in great health. I believe pets complete a home. I am extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the care and needs of all types of animals. My experience in Pet Care began from having my own pets and caring for the ones of family and friends over a span of 40 plus years. I have also fostered a few dogs over the years. I have a substantial amount of experience with cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, hamsters, turtles, fish and so many others. My goal is to ensure your comfort and confidence, knowing that your pet will be loved and cared for as if it were our own. Should your pet require any medical attention or medication I am completely capable of providing this service, while in my care. We hope you consider us. I look forward to providing a caring, efficient service for your pets. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired. For the exception of dropping off and picking up my son from school I am home all day to provide attention and care for your pet. I have a large yard with a privacy fence and three friendly, small dogs to keep your pup company. If preferred, I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I am at home full time so I am available to always keep a close watch of your dog, take your dog outside a numerous of times. I have been sitting dogs for about 4 years now. I have experience breeding and raising chows (which is a very hard breed to raise especially for first time dog owners). There is a dog park right across the street from my home your dog would love. And around the perimeter of the dog park is a dog path. I normally walk the dogs around the dog path and then play fetch and some other games in the park. I have a gated backyard so they are allow to play back there as well. I am close to a Walgreens and across the street from a pet store so if they need anything I have easy access to that.
“Ashley is so sweet and caring! I really appreciated the photo updates she sent during Mocha’s stay—it was so comforting to see how happy and well taken care of she was. Mocha looked like she was having the best time”
About: USE THIS LINK FOR $20.00 OFF FIRST BOOKING WITH ME https://www.rover.com/sit/jonelr56094 My name is Jonelle. I recently retired from The Office of the Chief Judge Circuit Court of Cook County. I have owned, fostered and rescued almost every type of animal from dogs, cats, rabbits and reptiles. I have volunteered at animal shelters as well. I have owned multiple dogs in my life and I am trained to administer medicine and CPR as well as senior dog care. I have fostered litters of abandoned wild bunnies as well as puppies. I'm recently retired and animals are my true passion in life. I can think of no other way I would love to spend my time now then caring for animals. Rest assured I am always home.

They will be allowed on my couch and my bed. It's important to me they feel comfortable as it can be intimidating to be in a new environment.
“Diana was thoughtful and caring! I really appreciated her ease with my dog. She also helped me with my “separation anxiety “ by sending pics of my dog playing and on walks.

It’s such a relief knowing your precious dogs are in his care . I feel zero stress leaving my dogs for extended periods when I travel. My four legged children just love him . What stands out to me is the constant contact . He sends pictures and texts before I even ask which means a lot to me. I have referred him to numerous clients and all feedback has been beyond positive. Your pups are in fantastic hands and you won’t be disappointed in choosing him for boarding/sitting.

Jonelle R.
“I have known Jonelle for almost 20 years and can’t even begin to express how wonderful she is with pets as well as people. Jonelle has an innate ability to connect with the animals in which she cares for, because of her compassion towards and love of all pets. She has an extraordinary ability to gain an animal’s trust immediately. I believe that is due to the instinctive nature of animals sensing Jonelle ‘s deep, rooted commitment to their care and well-being. A very special characteristic is her perception when it comes to change in any pets behavior and is quick to alert their owner. Pet sitting and boring is not so much a hobby for Jonelle, it is a profession in which she is dedicated, takes great pride, and she approaches her role in your pets life in that way. She is dependable and punctual which if you have a pet that requires special care is critical. Her communication skills are extraordinary. Always checking in, sending pics and reassuring you that your pet is being cared for and in good hands. She has a way of becoming part of your family and I am very happy to endorse her services. If you wish to speak to me directly regarding Jonelle‘s history with me and life with pets I would welcome a call or email. Rick Ruiz ruizrick2012@gmail.com 312.330.3706”
