Ericka was a blessing! At the very last cancellation of our previous chosen sitter, she came as a life saver! She was great with our dogs! Both dogs loved her and she was able to train them! The dogs and our house was kept! We highly recommend her and we will definitely use her services in the future!!! Thank you for all that you do Ericka!:)

Erika is a sweetheart! She did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was out of town. She left my place cleaner than she found it and kept in communication to calm an anxious cat-mom's mind. Would recommend and plan on asking her again when the time comes.

Lisa did an absolutely amazing job watching our fur babies while we were out of town on a trip. She was helpful, communicative, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to very happy babies, and a few special treats she left as well. So thoughtful! She even took trash out and put dishes away. Definitely went above and beyond our expectations. Looking forward to having her house sit again for us and would absolutely recommend. Thanks Lisa!

Kelli was a wonderful dog sitter for my fur baby Lily. She sent me constant updates with pictures. She was also very flexible. My flight home got cancelled and she was able to stay an extra night at the last minute. Will definitely rebook her in the future when I go out of town. Thank you!

Kellie was so great with our boy, Tyson for a weekend. She communicated clearly before the trip, during our trip (we loved the updates!), and after. She was respectful of our home and a perfect house guest. Tyson was immediately comfortable with her and we were so comforted knowing he was not only being taken care of, but really loved on, while we were gone. We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.

She is good with animals and has had animals all throughout her life. She always takes care of any animal well and loves to be around animals. She’ll do an amazing job caring for the animals that need to be walked or fed. She is trustworthy, responsible, and reliable.

Mari took wonderful care of our girls. She came a couple of times in advance to let our older girl get to know her because of how scared Sadie is of strangers. She had a very gentle way with her and gave Sadie time to warm up to her. We will definitely have Mari house sit for us again!

Ewa is wonderful with our two labs and my daughter's lab. She worked hard to win over their trust and once she had established that she had them eating out of her hands! They come running when she calls. She will be our first choice for dog sitter whenever we need one.

Michelle was polite, courteous and professional. Overall, she did the best she could with my youngest rescue being timid to the point of going inside the house for the three days I was travelling. Not her fault and I would like to continue for future trips in hopes of her acclimating to my shy, timid boy.

I have worked with Nancy while helping in animal rescue. She had asked us to help her foster to adopt a dog that was out of time at Chicago animal Control. She helped save her life and gave her a great home. She went on to foster many dogs for a group I worked with a few years back and did great with them. She would often take in the more difficult fosters with success as she was great with the dogs and knew how to read them. We knew any foster in her care was in great hands. She proved it time and again. I would trust Nancy whole heartedly with my pets as well as the many fosters we placed in her care.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals, from basic to exotic, since I was 15. I have 2 years of experience taking care of pets for just family and friends and 3 years of taking care of pets for other people :) I have plenty of time to take care of your pets!! I can do anything from pet sitting, to stopping by to let pets out or feed them! I also love taking walks and going on jogs, so bring your pet along with me would be amazing!! I am more than happy to take care of pets in your home! I have a large house, but not much of a backyard, as well as roommates, so boarding in my home may be slightly less likely, but still an option!

Mary is the best!! I have an eight year old anxiety riddled Doberman who is a bit needy and misses her momma. I also have a two year old cat Karen who is full of energy! They both love Mary and enjoy her visits. It gives me great piece of mind to know that my dog and kitty are well cared for while I am away on my vacations. Even if it’s a long work day she can stop during the day to give my dog a break outside and companionship. I live in Garden Prairie and am so glad I found Mary. If you love your pets, give Mary a call. Both your pets and you will be glad you did!! Amanda

Jessica has a huge heart, especially for animals, and has shown that time and time again. Multiple times she has been responsible for my herd (4 of them!) as I often leave the country for long periods. She is extremely caring, attentive to their needs, takes the time to play with them and make them feel comfortable, and shows great competency for my special needs cat who must be fed separate food and has to have her cone and medical supplies cleaned daily. I can honestly say I think they miss her just as much as they miss me! Hah! I'd highly recommend her services. She won't let you down!

We have been working with Amanda for over 10 years. She is a wonderful person and cares so much for all our Farm Animals. If its just 2 days or the whole week. We would not want anyone else to be here at our home, she has never disappointed me. Keeps the house clean too.!! Our dogs are always happy to see her.
