“John knew that Sadie liked to fetch tennis balls thrown with a Chuck-it, so he did that for her. Twice! In very cold weather & it hurt his shoulder. I really like that he only takes 1 dog family at a time. He treats my dog like his dog. Has a wonderful big fenced yard, during warmer weather has dog doors so they can go in & out at will. His dog Peaches is very sweet.”
“Erena is very friendly and personable with dogs. She was able to make our dog Leia feel comfortable in her surroundings and provided timely communication/updates. Overall, Leia had a great stay. We would highly recommend Erena.”
“Monica was so great with Rose! So caring and flexible and responsive. Rose had the best time playing with Monica’s dog Beto and she will miss him very much. I will absolutely use Monica again if I come back to town to visit!”
“Boris was great with my dog Cocoa. He took her last minute after plans and schedules changed. I definitely appreciated his flexibility. Boris is wonderful at providing updates throughout the day including pictures or videos, and excellent with communication. His dog Bella is so sweet! I will definitely use Boris again.”
“Prithvi has been absolutely wonderful from the start of our communication, to the meet and greet, and to caring after Penny today while our caregivers are still out of town. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with Prithvi and her new friend Loki. Thank you for the updates, pictures and videos.”
“Michael was prompt and professional; yet a very friendly, warm and welcoming person. Daisy took to him immediately. I appreciated the photos. And, from the photos, I could tell that Daisy was well cared for and loved. Thank you, Mike, for your loving care of Daisy.”
“Dory, our 11-month old Goldendoodle, had so much fun with Yuliia! She was very communicative before drop-off, sent updates throughout the stay (even videos!), and Dory came back happy and healthy. Thanks so much!”
“My pup absolutely loves going to Deidre’s house! She has been going for quite a few days out of the week and she is always super excited when we enter her neighborhood. I know my dog is super loved and cared for at her house, which is a great feeling! Annie is exhausted when we get home at night- a good sign lol :)”
“Balaji, Sanna and sweet precious Mocha are a home away from home to Penny. You can feel the pure joy that Penny experiences with this lovely family all through the shared videos and pictures! Many times they catch her smiling! Our trust will never fade when Penny is under their care!”
“liz and kristopher are awesome! my dog loves them! they always keep me updated, have a flexible schedule and take care of my dog so well! will definitely book their services again”
“Christine is awesome! So friendly and responsive, and my pup seemed very comfortable and not stressed at all, despite this being his first visit with Christine. Will definitely be returning in the future! 🐶🐾”
“I am very happy to report that Karina and her daughter were awesome for my new foster who is really fearful and shy at first. I was nervous at first because I didn't know her at all and the lady who owns the Rescue was telling me how sometimes Rover sitters actually steal dogs! But Karina was honorable and very communicative. Responded to texts instantly all week and kept me informed of everything, even got a picture of Roxy pooping! LOL From the many pictures and videos she sent, Roxy felt right at home and did quite well I think! I recommend Karina and will definitely rebook if she's available next time I come to town!”
About: March 2023 update: We had said goodbyes to our most beloved Ryan dog. For all of you who have been through lost, we now understand you and cry with you. We will slowly open up our schedule possibly starting summer time. You’ll see Ryan showing up in most of our photos and descriptions of our dog care style. We are just not ready to go through it and edit any yet… Thank you for understanding :) Hi! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Xu, my partner Sam and our little senior dog Ryan welcome you to our profile. We love going for walks in the neighborhood and nearby forest preserves, and some days we just lounge and sunbathe at home. I would love for your dog to join us! I believe positive reinforcement is the only way to train a dog, maybe we'll try some clicker training if your dog is interested. Ryan is an 13(ish)-year-old brindle 17 pounder. Ryan is very friendly with other doggies, no matter big or small! He likes to go for long walks, sniff around, greet other people and dogs, do some tricks to get yummy snacks, and sunbathe! We will be spending plenty of time by your dog's side as we will be home the entire time. Ryan the dog usually lounge throughout the day when he is inside the house. We will be sending plenty photos and videos updates and keeping an open line of communication. We live in a dog-friendly Townhouse next to a forest preserve for walkies! Ryan is very quiet and will not get in your dog's business. If your dog does not enjoy "parallel play" and need a play partner, Ryan is not going to be a good fit. We host dogs from only one household at a time, unless everyone meets and agree to each other prior to the stay :)
“James took our husky puppy for the day. She had a good mix of play with others and rest so that, when I picked her up, she was happily tired but not overstimulated. We will definitely be using him again to care for our pup.”
