“Aleia was so wonderful taking care of our dog Milo! She was as super communicative, shared photos of their adventures together, and Milo loved her. Would definitely hire Aleia again!”

“Lauren was so great with our dog, who unfortunately got a bit sick right before we left on our trip . Lauren was very flexible with the changes and was responsive throughout, providing lots of pictures and updates that made us feel more comfortable leaving our dog! The house was also perfectly clean when we got back. Thanks you!”

“Joanna was great with our puppy! She gave her lots of walks, playtime, and kept great company. We had lots of updates with pictures and video to know how our dog was doing, and we were always able to reach out to her. Highly recommended!”


“After moving our very needy German Shepherd from Australia to Chicago and having no local support to care for him, the notion of a 2 week trip back home was impossible. The stress at the idea of leaving our boy with a stranger was enormous, especially since we had never done anything like that before. We left our boy, and our home, in Adams care for 15 days. Upon our return, we found a beautiful clean home and a very happy doggo, who seemed to love his new friend more than us! Adam sent regular photos and text updates as to how things were going which helped greatly relieving our worry while abroad. We are thrilled to have found him, and will very happily use him again soon so we can finally take a holiday and know we're leaving our pup in great hands. Thankyou again Adam!”

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!
“Emily was great to work with and really helped us out on short notice a couple of times. She was flexible, easy to coordinate with, and clearly understood what our dog needed. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care and have already booked her again. Thank you, Emily!”

“Renee is great. Simple as that. Our sometimes tweaky, neurotic terrier, Molly, loved every minute with her housesitter. Renee was thorough, attentive, playful, and giving. She went above and beyond to ensure Molly got all the snuggles, walks, required meds, and love she so needs. I don’t think she wanted her week with Renee to end. Renee is personable, on top of things, and clean. Was my home cleaner when I got back? Holy cow, it was. Thanks Renee. Book her now before I do, again and again.”


“My pups fell in love with Joseph. He took great care of both dogs and sent photos and videos of them to me. I also appreciate having such peace of mind while I was away.”

“This was my 1st time leaving my dog for a long weekend and I couldn’t have chosen a better caregiver for him. My Murphy is a rescue & has some anxiety issues but Jo handled him with patience, understanding and love. She tapped in to her knowledge of dogs and put both myself & Murphy at ease. She tried a few new toys/treats with him which he loved and sent me plenty of pics and videos of Murphy throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”

“Anana took wonderful care of my dogs. Communication between us was excellent and my dogs were clearly taken excellent care of while I was away She also left my house in perfect condition. Highly recommend.”

“Mads did such a great job of caring for my apartment and my skittish, chatty cat while I was on a week-long trip out of the country! They were super diligent and consistent in sending me updates and photos of my cat, and they were able to accommodate my rather complicated pet feeding and house plant watering schedule. It was such a relief to come home after a roughly twelve hour flight to find my space in perfect shape and my cat fed and happy! I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them!”

“Stephanie is amazing! She watched our two dogs and cat at our home over the Christmas holiday. We were thrilled with the care that she provided our fur babies and the detailed and delightful updates she sent us. I was worried about leaving one of our dogs due to her separation anxiety issues, but Stephanie quickly developed a bond with her, as well as the other animals. We had peace of mind knowing that our pets/home were in great hands with lots of cuddles and playtime. We will definitely use Stephanie again for any out of town trip!”

“Emily was incredible. She didn’t just watch my dog, she cared for him like he was her own and treated my home with the same thoughtfulness and respect. From the moment they met, my dog was instantly comfortable with her. She played with him, took him on walks and runs, and gave him all the snuggles and attention he could possibly want. She sent tons of photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. But what really made her stand out is how considerate she was with my home. Everything was spotless when I returned, and she even stayed until I got back so he didn’t have to be alone. I walked into a sweet welcome note and fresh flowers, such a thoughtful touch and a truly warm homecoming. I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is attentive, trustworthy, incredibly kind, and clearly loves what she does. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!.”

“Tammy is an amazing sitter, my pup Toby had a great time with her! She helped us out in an emergency/last minute situation and we are so grateful to have found her.”


“Jenna is great! She was very responsive and our dog loved her. When we got home, it was obvious that he has been well taken care of and enjoyed his time with Jenna. Would very highly recommend!”

“This is the second time Sarah has pet sat for us, and both times she took great care of our dog and our cat, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Sade was a great sitter for our dog and cat! We felt at ease the whole time we were away. Sade sent daily photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. We came home to happy pets and a very clean apartment. We’d definitely have Sade sit for our dog and cat again!”

“Tiffany was a fantastic house sitter for our 9-month-old puppy! She was responsive, professional, and made sure our dog felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away - which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

Carla is wonderful! My husband and I both had last minute work trips come up at the same exact time, and Carla was available to watch our two dogs on short notice. She stayed in our home to watch over them since they are both older, and they couldn't have been in better hands. She was diligent, made sure we had care instructions, and sent photos and updates for us through her whole time watching them. My flight was delayed due to weather, and she even stayed a few hours extra to make sure they were taken out and comfortable until I could get home. She was even willing to come back in the evening to give them dinner and take them out again if my flight had gotten delayed even more. She is so sweet, and she left our home in immaculate condition. We will absolutely be reaching out to Carla to take care of our boys again!

Stephanie did a great job with our two cats and left a wonderfully clean house afterwards. We adopted our cats fairly recently, so they're still a bit shy with strangers, but she was patient and waited for them to warm up. They seemed really happy by the end of her stay.

Jillian was exceptional with Finnegan! She went above and beyond to send multiple photo updates daily, showed compassion and kindness and was very communicative. I really appreciated how much she was in tune with Finnegan, and she left the house in spectacular shape. Definitely recommend!!

I knew Emily was ten best choice for my Henry as soon as I met her and i wasn’t wrong. I have a 12 year old lab mix and have been worried about leaving him in the care of anyone outside of my family. She took such good care of my guy- she checked in with me a couple of times but was able to navigate everything else with ease. Would request Emily again in the future

Kelso was absolutely incredible taking care of my doggo child who can be a handful, I completely felt at ease with my dog son in her care! She kindly gave me updates, pics, video, and even got him his first pup cup which he loved! She administered his AM & PM meds without missing any, gave him his special meals, and was able to handle his dog reactivity on walks & keep my boy safe & other dogs safe as well. Cookie was even sad to see her go as he made a new bff, and he’s a picky lil guy. She’s super easy going and down to earth, I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need a doggo sitter & will be recommending for any friends who need dog sitters too!! 🙏🙌👌💖💖💖💖💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🐶☺️🤩

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.

Elijah has watched our two dogs in our home more than once and it is a great peace of mind to know that the dogs and our house are in good hands while we are away! Elijah is responsive and professional. Both our dogs are a little difficult each in their own way but she has handled them very well and we appreciate her for taking good care of them while we are away.

Nicole was the perfect houseguest and dog sitter for our time away from home! We got frequent updates and summaries of our pup, Maurice’s, behavior and care and our home was left truly spotless when we returned. It was our first time leaving Maurice with someone outside of close friends and family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend her over and over again! Thank you so much, Nicole!
