“Rachael did a wonderful job caring for our pup while we were away for a week. Our dog is reactive toward other dogs on walks, and Rachael was comfortable with that. She also sent updates and pictures throughout the week, which we appreciated.”
“Kelly took wonderful care of my dog, Jeze, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Jeze can be a bit particular about eating but Kelly went above and beyond and hand fed her. Kelly was patient, attentive, and clearly experienced with animals. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious that Jeze was happy and comfortable. I had total peace of mind while I was away, and I would absolutely trust Kelly again. Highly recommend!”
“Hello fellow Boarders, I am so impressed with the services I received from Quia. When we first met, I knew she would be the one to care for my furry baby. My dog (Samier) was happy to see the friendly smile and attention Quia gave us. I had no worries about how Quia cared for my dog because she provide daily text messages, photos and video clip of Samier. I say Samier was in great hands with Quia.”
“Katie saved me with a last minute request and took amazing care of our 1yr old boxer. She sent photos throughout and when we picked her up I could tell she was at ease from her stay. She took her on walks, played and cuddled, and will definitely rebook with her.”
“Reba was wonderful with our 7-month old puppy! She made sure he had plenty of play opportunities and kept us updated with pictures throughout the weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Would 100% recommend her!! Our original dog sitter couldn't do watch them so we found her and she was so amazing. Very responsive and organized since day 1. She gave us daily updates, pictures, and videos. They were super happy when we brought them back and even gave tips on brushing our 7month sheepadoodle and types of joint supplements for our 12yr old. She is a certified trainer and knows how to take care of the dogs so we would trust her to watch them for a long vacation and not worry about their stress or safety.”
About: After nearly 15 years of caring for my own beloved small dog through every stage of life, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I have extensive hands-on experience with small and senior dogs, as well as shy/nervous dogs, including medication routines, special needs, changing mobility levels, and dogs who simply need a little extra patience and attention. I’m especially interested in providing a calm, home-like environment rather than a busy kennel experience. My goal is to care for your dog like they’re temporarily part of my family — with plenty of attention, cuddles, walks, and time to relax. I prefer caring for one dog at a time so they receive lots of individual attention. Note - at this time I can only accept hypoallergenic or low shedding breeds that are under 40 pounds and are very comfortable walking on a leash. I work from home but I’m selective with my availability and only open my calendar when I know I can give your dog plenty of time and attention. I enjoy having a dog around the house and will make sure they get lots of companionship, walks, playtime, cuddles and downtime based on their normal routine. I prefer to care for one household’s dog at a time so they can feel comfortable and get plenty of individual attention. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m especially comfortable with small and senior dogs and understand that some pets need a little extra patience, supervision and TLC. I live on a small, quiet cul-de-sac but please note, I do not have a fenced in yard, so dogs must be very comfortable walking on a leash.
“I really appreciate Mauricio taking the time to watch my Pup. He was super responsive to messages. And more importantly: I understand as someone who has used Rover for over 110 times over the last 10 years for my pup, the importance of making sure there is a safe trip between the pup and the owner. After having moved to St louis, it's nice to find someone who's reasonable and timely and they're willingness to communicate and book watching a pup. I highly recommend Mauricio!”
“Margaret was quick to respond and seemed very invested in taking care of our dog while we were gone. Updates and information were provided often and our dog was well taken care of, would absolutely use her services again!”
“We had a great experience leaving our Aussidoodle, Willie, with Cynthia and her sweet lab, Luna. I received numerous pictures and was happy to know Willie had a very large, fenced in yard for roaming and exercise. Cynthia treated Willie like her own and gave positive feedback about his stay. I won't hesitate to request Cynthia for future boarding.”
“Katie was an absolute fantastic dog sitter! We left our energetic pup with her and she took such wonderful care of her. From the very first meet-and-greet, Katie was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Throughout the stay, Katie sent the most delightful updates and photos of her playing. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and happy she looked in all the pictures. Our dog came home well-cared for, more relaxed and content. Katie clearly went above and beyond. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring, responsible hands. We would (and will!) book Katie again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter who treats your dog like her own, look no further. Katie is the best! Thank you so much!! 🐾❤️ Highly recommend — 10/10 would trust her with our fur baby again!”
“Danielle did a great job taking care of our dog. At the meet and greet Danielle asked great questions and helped us immediately feel as ease. Danielle provided frequent updates and was very responsive. She kept my dog busy and I could tell my dog was enjoying her stay. I would highly recommend Danielle to others looking for a sitter.”
“My dog Marley loves it here so much! Ryan is quick to communicate and very thoughtful with pictures and updates. They really put a lot of thought and care into what they do and it shows. Highly recommend!”
“Adolfo was great!! Our pup loved her 5-night stay with Adolfo and his dogs. He was easy to communicate with and sent many pictures. He responded quickly and was flexible when we adjusted our dates. We will definitely use him again!”
“Sure! Here's a polished version of your message: --- Monica took absolutely wonderful care of my dog—truly as if he were her own. She was easy to coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up, sent great photos of him enjoying all his favorite activities, and provided thoughtful updates whenever I asked about how he was adjusting to a new environment and caregiver. I would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I’m recently widowed and looking for a way to get outside and walk more consistently. I don’t like to walk alone so I figured walking with someone’s pet would be a good place to start! I have owned animals all my life; birds, cats, dogs, horses, etc. I currently have a blue heeler/border collie mix but he’ll stay home during my walks with your pup! I’m available during the week, during normal school hours. I have a daughter in school so I need to be home in the evenings to help with homework, etc. I have one friendly dog that loves to have animal friends come play. I also have crates that can house small to medium sized dogs.

Alicia was wonderful. She communicated with me daily with pictures of Whiskey playing with Otis inside and outside. Alicia was flexible when we picked him up, as we were traveling with weather. We plan to use her again, as I think she enjoyed Whiskey as much as Whiskey enjoyed her.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
