Couldn't have been better! Karen was awesome with our furry kids. They absolutely loved having her for a visit as did we. Part of me hates leaving such a great review for fear Karen will be booked when we need her....but fair is fair. We'll definitely be calling upon her again, and soon!

Kirk is incredible and we are already brainstorming reasons to have him pet sit :P He takes such good care and consideration of the pet’s needs. I saw how the other pets looked up to him for safety and comfort. He took great care of our anxious girl. Thanks Kirk!

Thanking you for taking such good care of Harry and Ruby. I know both dogs had a great time with you. Each day Lise was out the door with the dogs early in the morning. We have several nice hiking areas close by, and she took advantage of all of them to exercise the dogs. (who are both high energy dogs). Rest of the day was play and rest. Communication was great, sent pics and overall made us feel like we made a great choice on a short notice sit. The house was tidy and neat; she even did her sheets on her bed. I don't know what else to say but if I could keep Lise a secret I would. We are looking forward to having her sit our two dogs whenever we are planning a trip.

Charlotte was wonderful with Sunny! So loving and attentive. Charlotte also communicated several times a day with us and showed us pictures of Sunny having a great time. Charlotte is very responsible and trustworthy. She took care of our four month old puppy for nine days in a row and had consistent care and energy throughout the long job of taking care of him! We will definitely rebook with Charlotte, she is a godsend!

About: Hi, my name is Kahree. I am a hardworking animal lover. I've been dog walking in the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn area for about 3 years now. I am open to all ages and breeds of dogs. I've bathed, walked, and watched dogs in the past. Overnight stays also won't be a problem as long as I receive a weeks notice. The greater outdoors is my play ground. I am a very patient, responsible, and outgoing 23 year old. My school schedule is flexible so I can work around your job hours. I am very trust worthy and honest. I can provide references if needed. *If this post is not modified as of 03/23/2020 I'm still fully available. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged furry friend!

Our little dog was in the best of hands with Jessica. She kept us updated with how he was doing, stayed attentive to his needs throughout the weekend, and offered a safe, comfortable indoor and outdoor space to explore. Highly recommend!

About: I've raised a variety of pets from childhood. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, geckos and even salt water fish! I'm an environmental science major and have always been passionate about animals. In my adult life I have cared for others pets for short trips and as long as 6 months while a friend was on deployment. I especially love the opportunity to take animals on adventure and exercise ! I'm a student at the University and am taking remote classes this winter. This allows me the flexibility to care for pets around a client's schedule. I do not have a fenced in yard, but live close to several dog parks. I would keep any pets leashed in my neighborhood. I have flexibility to care for pets in my or a client's home depending on each pet and what situation works best.

Nicole was great. Bella was happy to see us when we got back, but not stressed at all. It was a huge relief to us to have someone we trusted watching her while I took my husband to the hospital for an outpatient procedure. Turned out well all the way around and I would use her again.

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I grew up with several different animals and have always loved being around them and taking care of them! At a very young age I really wanted to work with animals and that same passion of working with them is still the same today! As of right now, my schedule varies! I could be working any shift from 6:30-2:30, 7:30-4:30, 9:15-5:15, or 12:15-5:15. I am a new mom who is trying to make ends meet but working still isn’t helping because daycare is so expensive! I am really trying to pet sit part time or even full time! My weekends and holidays are always open except for the occasional family trips in the summer! I do not have a fenced in yard at my home so that means that your fur babies will be kept on a leash when taking them outside. Your fur babies will also be kept company by 2 friendly dogs and 2 friendly cats! I also have to crate one of my dogs so I can easily crate dogs if needed!

As soon as we met Madison we felt so comfortable. She was so kind and loving to our dear dog Angel and was flexible with our unique scheduling needs. I loved the photo updates and reports. I could tell that Angel was happy and well cared for while we were away. We are so grateful for Madison!

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I started pet services a few years ago to make a little extra cash during the winter time. Mostly dogs (big or small) a few cats and 1 turtle I’m currently working part-time during these last months of winter so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your doggos! Which means they’ll get plenty of extra outdoor time For dog walking, I’ll most likely just take them around their neighborhood unless they are good with cars might take them over to the dog park An overnight I always stay at the client house so animal will have the comfort of home while they are getting used to a new person and theirs is away

About: I am always the first to be called when a friend needs doggy daycare or house sitting with dogs, cats, and often other animals. I’ve fostered and found homes for rescues internationally and domestically. I’ve worked for a doggy daycare where I was responsible for 50-70 dogs with a crew of 2-4 people. I also spent a few months off and on taking care of 10-22 huskies while part of the herd were sled racing. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and enjoy seeing all of their unique personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was small. We always had cats when I was little, as well as ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, my turtle boy China B, parakeets, and a Senegal parrot foster. I was surprised with a rescue dog when I was 10, Hemingway. It was an amazing experience and I helped train Hemmy to be a service dog for my grandmother who was visually impaired. Winter rates are now $250/day for basic overnights, includes 3 pets. Will adjust include extra rates accordingly to animals and household needs. I’m self employed and have the flexibility to set my daily schedule around your animals needs and regular routine. Lots of scritches, play time and love are part of my commitment to your pets. I am available for short and long walks (depending on your animals needs and ability), playtime, companionship, love and affection, meals and snacks as well as monitoring medication if needed.

Emily was amazing! She's very communicative, seemed genuinely thrilled to get to know our animals, and left our house exactly as she found it. Loved having her pet sit for us and will definitely request her in the future. Thank you Emily!
