“Deanne was very friendly and our dogs were very comfortable with her coming in to our home to take care of them! She made sure to update us and send pictures! Would definitely have her again if we were to go out of town in the future!”


“I cannot say enough great things about Jack… His professionalism is top-notch, and his care for my two dogs could not have been better. He kept them on their routine with feeding and medicine, he was great, giving them daily exercise and care, and he just literally checks every box perfectly, and I felt lucky to have him as did my dogs”


“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!”



“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.”


“We recently had the pleasure of having Shalynn care of our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was extremely professional, reliable, and showed a genuine affection for our pets. Shalynn followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend [Pet Sitter's Name] to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”


About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals. I've always had pets, including those I've rescued and others I've raised from birth, so I'm familiar with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I've also provided loving care for several senior dogs and a senior cat I had since she was a kitten, giving me valuable experience with pets at every stage of life. Since I am primarily self employed, I am flexible in terms of availability! I am available day or night. I try mt best to accommodate client needs. Since I love in a second story condo, I walk my two canine boys several times daily for exercise and for bathroom needs. My cat, Gracie stays indoors but has everything she needs at her disposal.

“Emily took great care of our pets and home while we were away! We came back after our trip to a clean house and happy pups and kitties. She is very responsive to messages and sent updates of the pets. I would absolutely hire her again!”


About: I practically grew up with a zoo. We always had minimum 2 dogs & 3 cats. I loved volunteering at shelters. Now my husband and I own 2 dogs & 2 cats of our own and have done a little fostering. We are the designated pet sitters in our friend group! We spoil our guests and they have free range to the house. No kids yet because our animals are our kids! I’m also happy to watch chickens, snakes, parrots, fish, tarantulas, you name it! I am a teacher! I started Rover to fill my summer, but loved it so much I wanted to continue during the school year. I offer mornings before 8 am, nights after 4 pm, & weekends! I’m very familiar with all personalities of pets. Safety is my number one concern. I’m good at giving medicine and following household rules. I want it to be as stress free & normal for your furry friend as possible!

About: I’ve been experienced with a number of animals since childhood. Cats. Dogs. Birds. Lizards. Mice. Rats. Gerbils. Hamsters. Even Insects! I love all kinds and want to work with you in taking care of your pets just like my own. Your pets will be safe, happy and well cared for, giving you peace of mind while you are at work or traveling! Currently I work PT. So if we can make it work we can make it work. 🦾 Pet care is my every day. I have a few animals myself and I lover them like family. I have a home with cats. Love love cats so much. I grew up with dogs and birds amongst others as well. I am established with the care and needs of both. Whatever help you need I’ll be there. :)

“Tony was absolutely wonderful for a 3-night homestay with our 2 high energy dogs! He took incredible care of our house and pups and kept in touch the whole time to share updates. We came back to 2 very happy dogs and our house just the way we left it. Thank you so much for helping us enjoy a worry-free getaway!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of our family dogs for their care. I have years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I am a lover of all dogs. I am a college student and am free all Summer. I can watch your pets/home any day or time. I have a very flexible schedule. While watching your pets, their safety and well-being are my utmost priority as well as following owner's instructions. I provide a fun and loving companion for your pet while you are away.

About: Paws & Pals; Pet B&B and In-Home Care is a collaboration of the mother-daughter team, Nancy Grandinetti and her daughter, Jessica Boyd. With a shared, and boundless passion for animal welfare, and 50+ years of animal experience (between the two of us), you can be sure that you are leaving your fur-mily in the best possible hands! Nancy (51yo) began her long history in pet care at age 13, working in her uncle’s veterinary practice. During her time at Glendale Animal Hospital [Glen Ellyn, IL], she volunteered for EVERYTHING, from grooming to medication administration. This was followed shortly by her first “real” job at Save-A-Pet. Thus, began her long history of both jobs and volunteerism in the animal care community. Currently, even though her career has currently led her to sales, Nancy is a registered foster home for CPR Fund Canine Rescue [www.cprfund,com], specializing in difficult to rehabilitate dogs. Due to her work-from-home schedule, Nancy is primarily available for in-home boarding. She’s specifically set up for doggos that prefer to be alone. Jessica (34yo), instilled with her mother’s enthusiasm for animal care, has expanded that passion into equine and farm care. She has worked with a myriad of animals, including wild and exotic species. Presently, she has found her home as a part-time senior barn assistant at Main Stay Therapeutic Riding Farm [www.mainstayfarm,org]. As a homeschooling mother of three, Jessica’s primary services include dog walking, drop-in home visits, and pack-friendly boarding. She specializes in “hard-to-walk” and large-xlarge breeds of ALL ages. So, what services do we offer? Well, here’s a quick list. Don’t see something you need? Message us! We may just not have thought of it yet! We’re POSITIVE we can help you out! +Dog Boarding: Let your fur baby(ies) get the true farm experience at one of our two homes, located on our very, private 5-acre, farmette. Our pet “B&B” package includes regular pasture walks, they will experience horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese (from a safe distance), puppy playtime (if they enjoy it), scheduled mealtimes, regular cuddles, and LOTS of daily pictures, for you and your family to enjoy, while you’re away. Bed sleeper(s)? No problem! Climb aboard little doggy! Kennel trained? No need to bring your own, because we have one of every size! Just bring their favorite travel bed/blanket! Extended stays available upon request. +In-Home Visits (Dog/Cat/Birds/Cage or Tank Dwellers): Don’t want or can’t have your pets leaving home, while you’re away? Need an afternoon check-in and quick potty break? Late night at work or out on the town? We’ve got you covered! Schedule a 30-minute visit today! 60-minute visits available upon request. +Dog Walking: Need a potty break mid-day? Schedule your 30-minute walk today! An active, fast-paced walk to help burn a little energy. You will also receive a map and timer readout, so you know where your pup’s adventures have taken them! Is your dog a bit of a rude or pushy/pully walker? Are they an XL horse dog that drags people down the road? No worries! We specialize in energetic and XL (sometimes both at once) breeds! 60-minute walks available upon request. +Transportation: Groomer appointment? Vet visit, and you can only get a mid-day spot? Moving and the car is packed full? Let us provide safe, dependable transportation for you! Message us for transportation rates! So, if you’re looking for a team of mature, reliable animal lovers, to care for your fur/feather/scale/water babies, look no further! You’ve found the right profile! We look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon! And, THANK YOU for choosing us to make your pets happy, their smiles are ours! 😊


“We could not be more happy having her watch our senior dog DJ. As an anxious dog I was impressed how comfortable he was around her. He of cause loved all her attention. I have to say we were nervous having someone stay in our house to watch DJ but Chris is so sweet and knowledgeable in her sitting skills, she had made us comfortable with choosing her. We are so glad we did as she did an awesome job. DJ acted like we never left. He even ate his meals while we were gone. Something he's rarely done. We will be singing her praises to others in our neighborhood plus contacting her for ourselves as the need arises. Thank you Chris for treating our dog as if he were your own.”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid, I also have experience as a kennel tech for over a year of helping with surgeries, recover, medication, anything under the sun I am comfortable doing it for your kiddo. I am comfortable with any dog or cat you throw at me, and of course make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home as a content creator or my whole day is pet care. The second I wake up I take my German shepherd for a walk before I even have my coffee in the morning, I include basic training alongside the walk as well. I get back from the walk and of course make sure my 3 cats are fed with all different dietary needs as my male cat has feline herpes so needs special treatment. I get ready for work but before I do I’ll take my dog out again, work, and basically is repeated from the morning. My main phrase I say is either what’s in your mouth or where’s your ball, even during work I will be throwing the ball for my dog, doing training on stream, or even telling my stream to pause as my dog needs attention. I devote every waking moment to my kids. Of course before I accept any job I would come and meet and your kids beforehand to make sure it is something I can handle and to get an idea how eat pet behaves.

“Ian has been super helpful with caring for my English Bulldog Skye when I am out of town. Super thankful that he made himself available as I have needed. He genuinely cares for Skye.

Nancy G.
“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.”

Cailee H.
“If you’re looking for someone amazing with animals, look no further than Caliee. I can’t say enough great things about her—she’s just phenomenal. From the moment she started helping care for my dog and cats, I saw how naturally she connects with animals. She’s caring, intuitive, and genuinely kind, with a heart of gold. What sets her apart is how animals respond to her—it’s like they just get her. She guides and coaches them with ease, never harsh, but always in control. Honestly, I think my dog and cats might love her even more than they love me (and that’s saying something!). As someone who’s very protective of who spends time with my pets, I can say without hesitation: any animal in Caliee’s care is in the best hands possible. - Kari R.”


Jenna & Kristofer (kris) M.

Mary S.
“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”
