1. Renae D.

“Renae is awesome! She took excellent care of my 7-year old dog Maggie. She got plenty of exercise and attention while I was out of town. It made leaving her much easier. Will 100% book again.”


2. Hunter K.

“Very nice young man. Good with Nellie!”




3. Michele M.
“Michele was a perfect sitter for our Wheaton terrier. I was hoping she would be good for our dog as her rates are very reasonable. I couldn't ask for better care and concern for our dog. The experience was so much better than one of the kennels around town that I have used before. Michele definitely loves her guests and treats them as one of her own. I will definitely continue to use Michele to watch our pet when we are out of town.”


4. Lilia G.
About: Hi, I’m Lilia! I’ve been caring for pets for over seven years and absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. During the school year, I work in education, but in the summer, I dedicate my time to helping families care for their pets while they’re away or busy. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry (or feathered!) friends, I’m reliable, gentle, and always attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’m based in both Normal, IL and Chicago, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine to keep them feeling safe and happy in your absence. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I’m currently available Monday through Wednesday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s specific needs. I enjoy spending time outdoors and find pet care to be one of the most rewarding parts of my week. I always care for pets as if they were my own—whether I’m in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and regular feedings, and I always keep their environment clean and cozy. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and welcoming space with access to water, toys, and a comfy place to rest. I also stay in touch with pet parents with regular updates and photos so they know their furry friend is in good hands.


5. Blair E.
“Blair is an amazing, experienced sitter. She has been sitting for my animals for 7+ years and I can always count on her to take care of them. It makes me super comfortable that she works in vet med so I know she has the wisdom to know if there is ever a problem.”




6. Jasmine G.
“Before Jasmine we had not used a boarder, and was very apprehensive because of so many horror stories. However, Jasmine has been a great asset in caring for our little furry four legged baby. She was both flexible and understanding with pick up and drop off, because we frequently visit our family out of town. We have used her several times since the initial time, and she has always been predictable in her care and we have been appreciative. Anyone using her will be satisfied with her care.”


7. Daniel S.

“Finn looks forward to Danny coming and going for a walk. I have to be careful to not say Danny’s name until he is here, or I have an overly excited German Shepherd boy looking for him.”


8. Destiny B.
“Destiny is very kind and sends pictures throughout the day of your pets. She was great with my 4 year old Pit mix and my 2 month old Lab. I recommend Destiny and her services! She will treat your animals like they are her own.”


9. Kolton C.
“Kolton is very responsible person. He loves and cares for my dog, Penny, on a regular basis. He very quickly understood my dog’s routines of eating and going out. He is willing to stay overnights when I go out of town!”


10. Sarah B.
“Dear Rover, Sarah Burnett has been such a wonderful caregiver to our 3 dogs (2 black labs & 1 Shih Tzu)over the years. Sarah is so affectionate toward them & attentive to their every need. We couldn't ask for a better sitter to care for them & they just adore her. Any dog would be lucky to have Sarah as a human companion.”


11. Georgia M.

“Georgia went above & beyond while walking my Louie. He got the best exercise & he had the best time! She is consistent, dependable & kind. I’m so happy I chose her to walk my dog. Thank you so much Georgia! You’re awesome!!”


12. Joshua G.
“I highly recommend Josh as a pet sitter. He has watched my dog multiple times, and each experience has been fantastic. He is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. My dog absolutely adores him and is always excited to see him! Josh goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for—whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, going on long walks, or just spending quality time with them. He’s also great at sending updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and truly great with dogs, you’ll be in excellent hands with him.”


13. Emily S.

“Emily is brilliant and so good with animals (and owners alike). She was my elderly fathers dog walker/care giver and she was amazing. The highest of recommendation from this customer!!!”


14. Jason C.


“Jason has been great at handling my pit bull! He’s responsible, skilled, knowledgeable, and reliable. I highly recommend Jason when it comes to pet care services.”


15. Cassius H.
About: I have trained dogs and cats of all ages, senior and puppies. I love to spend time with animals and help them blossom. I specialized in skunk care, but I'm an all rounder. I am currently unemployed looking for new opportunities while I wait to start school up again. I am open to working with all manner of clienteles, and I am flexible in timing and help. I am all about giving pets the respect and space they need. I am not an up in their face person, and simply wait until the animals decide they are ready for attention. I like to build trust with the animals I serve, and love to have repeat customers. Please give me a shot, and your animals are sure to thank you.


16. Rachel T.

“She did amazing! My dog was well taken care of.”


17. Ashley T.

“Great with our 3 small breed dogs, one is an anxious one that she worked with prior to scheduled dog walks. All is going well, now. We are happy to have found her :)”


18. Victoria K.

“Victoria was great! She made sure our dog was well taken care of! She sent us lots of pictures and gave our girl lots of love and pets. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!”


19. Alexis T.
“Alexis took care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats while my family and I went on a week vacation. I never had to worry about my animals while in her care. She did a great job and my animals were happy and healthy when I returned home.”


20. Alex Y.
“Alexis is very responsible and has cared for our 3 dogs and 2 cats, as well as fed our fish in the process. She is a great communicator, reliable and always on time. Highly recommend!”
