About: I’ve owed and taken care of animals for decades. They are an indelible part of families and should be treated with an abundance of love. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to love and care for animals. Your pet will be treated as a member of my family. I have owned four dogs but they have all crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a fenced yard. Your pet will be allowed on my furniture and sleep in my bed (if they want to).
“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”
“Chelsea is the best! I am truly thankful for her love and care of my cat Pippin. He was really comfortable and happy with her. She sent me videos and photos all week and I could see he was happy. That truly helped me to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being loved and cared for. Thank you Chelsea”
“Megan is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my pup while I was away, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable the whole time. She kept me updated with pictures and little check-ins, which made me feel so at ease. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again”
“We loved Ellie and her family. Great communication through the time. Scotcharoo came back happy and healthy. Thank you so much for the great care. Would definitely use services again soon”
“Sara was nice. She was very attentive, and clearly loves animals. She took the time to send updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cat, who can be shy, warmed up to her quickly — a true sign of trust.”
“We started with Katie this year (2022) and we left the dogs like 4-5 times. My dogs are my babies so I don't leave them with just anyone . She gave me confidence, she send me pictures, she answer my texts immediately and that is what I was looking for. She’s the sweetest and my dogs already loved her. They pull me towards her house every time we go there and thats a GREAT SIGN 🥰. It’s 💯 for me!”
“Lindsey was great with Bernard. She sent pictures of Bernard while we were gone showing he was relaxed and having fun. Lindsey was easy to work with regarding drop off and pick up also. I would definitely use her again to watch Bernard.”
“Kayla took such great care of our pups! They had a blast playing with Leo, and Kayla’s updates throughout the day gave us so much peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”
“Walter and Maddie were amazing dogsitters to our pup, Sunny! They provided very frequent (adorable) updates and went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and cared for during her time with them. Sunny also seemed to really like the company of their two sweet dogs, too! I’m really grateful we found them and look forward to using them again in the future!”
“Francie let me and my dog visit before her stay to introduce her to the space, and we talked through some of her care. I got plenty of pictures and updates on how my dog was getting along with others and was happy to hear that she was comfortable.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life from my own dog and cat to my family and friends dogs. Family and friends have asked me to feed, walk, stop by for a pee break, and sit their pets. My mom currently has a puppy who I help train and sit so I know a lot about high value treats and can help train your pups if needed. I have also dog sat for senior dogs and know how much extra love and care they may need. I work remotely full time so am available to care for your pet during the work week and or on the weekends while you’re away! In my home, your pet will be treated like family! I work remotely, so I’ll be around to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, whether that means cozy spots to relax, regular potty breaks, or sticking to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and play. I live near Forest Park.
“Thanks for looking after Skylar! She was wore out when she got home. Slept the whole evening and night 😂. Thanks for photos and videos of her. I will definitely use your service again”
“Jenna was very nice and sent pictures to us on how our Boston Terrier Hugo was doing. One of his favorite things is to lay on top of the couch cushions which she is fine with letting them do. She even shared with me how I could fix Hugo's tear stains which we were struggling with at the time. She was very timely in back and forth communication by text too, which I appreciated.”
“She is always so happy to see my dog and provides great customer service! We call her Auntie Ivy, showing much love and respect for all the dogs she cares for. Plenty of space to play and mingle.”
“10/5 stars! She was amazing from the start. Salem is a skittish kitten and very picky about who she warms up to, but to my surprise she warmed up to Oluwakemi so fast! She gave me updates and lots of pictures of Salem daily or every other day. Not to mention her fur babies are so loving and welcoming, a direct reflection of their mommy. Thank you so much for putting me at ease and allowing me to focus without warning about my baby. I will definitely be back!!”
About: I have extensive experience as a veterinary technician at a vet clinic in Illinois. I am able to handle aggressive and overly excited animals and I am able to administer medicine. I am able to restrain dogs and cats, along with any other pet needs. I am currently unemployed and only have a few hours of time filled with volunteering. I would be able to take care of pets any time of the day. I will keep an eye on the pets at all times and make sure they aren't getting into any sort of trouble around the house
“Laronna provided a loving, safe home away from home for our pup and had excellent communication all along the way! So grateful for her and the peace of mind she provided.”
