“LeChar was great - she and my dog, Marshmallow, bonded immediately, leaving me confident she was in good hands. I got pictures and reports of their activities while I was gone for three days, and Marshmallow seemed very loved and well-taken care of. I look forward to having her back for a future visit!”

“Alex was great! She was very accommodating on a fairly short notice. She came and met our dog and home ahead of time to get the hang of our place and routine. There was one need for problem solving while away, but she worked with me from afar to work on the best care and plan for my pup. My neighbors talked to her and thought she was great and got along great with our local neighbors and the neighborhood pets on walks with our dog (she is kind of a local celebrity, our dog but Alex too). She gave me daily updates with photos, but nothing overwhelming that I felt distracted on my vacation. Very grateful and looking to book her again.”


“Jewel was wonderful with my dog, Marshmallow, when I had to travel out of town for a few days. I was a little uncertain how Marshmallow would get along with Jewel’s puppy, Maya, since she hasn’t had a lot of socialization to date, but they hit it off wonderfully, whether running and playing or just snuggling. It speaks to Jewel’s real love of animals and ended up being an extra bonus for Marshmallow to get some play time with another dog. I think Marshmallow wants another playdate soon!”

“Gwen was incredible with my dogs! I have one dog with anxiety and she took great care of him and my other pup. She took great care of my apartment as well. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Andrew did a great job with my pooches. I think they didn’t even miss me after three days being gone. He was very quick to respond and was great with the communication. The dogs instantly took to him when they met him. Would definitely use his services again.”

“Kelsey stayed at our home with our two cats while we were on vacation. She took such good care of our boys and our home! She kept us well informed, especially when one of our guys had some tummy troubles. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again! Thank you!”

“Veronika is amazing!! We have an older dog who requires medication and she was wonderful with her. Sent us so many updates, pictures and videos. I think our dog was actually sad when we returned because Veronika was so good to her! Will definitely be using her again! 10/10!”

“Natalia was perfect for our pups! Petey & Billy were very lucky to have such a gentle spirit to watch over them while we enjoyed a little Chicago nightlife 🥰. I recommend her highly! 5+ stars🥰”

“Our dog and cat who can both be a bit picky in who they like both immediately gravitated to Andi! We came home to happy fur babies and clean space and appreciated the clear communication. We will be reaching out to Andi the next time we need a sitter.”

“Jeremy did a great job watching my three dogs. He was easy to get in touch with and get updates from. The dogs got along great with him and he followed all the different notes about each of them. He was also kind and patient with my younger dog who is sensitive with strangers and still learning to deal with change. I’d love to have Jeremy watch my dogs again.”

“Michelle stayed at our place with our 1.5 year old dog, Penny, for several days and did a great job! We appreciated the regular updates and pics and our dog was happy!”

“Vivian has done a great job for us with several drop ins, so we asked her to house sit for us. She was again punctual, communicative, and responsible..:.and our dogs seem to really like and trust her too.”

“Dan was an ideal sitter — considerate, communicative, responsible, clean, responsive. What a nice person too. I cannot recommend him highly enough. We left our two cats and our home in his care for two weeks. We never had a moment’s unease, as Dan communicated with us regularly. We returned to find all in perfect order with thoughtful touches that welcomed us home.”

“It was evident from our first interaction that Samantha is " A PITTY GIRL". She was so comfortable with my high energy girl when first meeting someone and took great care of her.”

“Jalena was great with my zoo of high maintenance pets. She communicated well & handled the crew with some hiccups, which was to be expected, but nothing too bad. I have 2 huge dogs and a cat with a diva attitude which would intimidate most sitters, but Jalena took it all in stride.”

“Joseph is fantastic. 11/10 went above and beyond to make sure our pup and the house was very well taken care of. He really understands the dogs and puts our mind at ease while we're gone.”

“Sonia took great care of our puppies and our home. This is the second time we have booked her and are glad that we did. We got cute pup dates and feel that our home and our pets were well cared for in our absence. We recommend her to alll!”

“WONDERFUL!! Madeline was considerate and communicative throughout her entire stay at my home. She sent several videos and pictures and made sure to keep us updated on our pups the entire time. Even6 more skeptical dog enjoyed time with her.”
