“Took fantastic care of my cat while I was gone, and was very kind when I realized I had slightly messed up my booking dates, helping me modify them. Would happily recommend and hire again!”


“Amy is great with our dogs. We have two large boisterous Pyrenees mixes, one of which is reactive toward strangers but after just one visit, he had decided she was securely in the “pack” and was a love bug toward her, asking for scratches. She came over for multiple in-home/potty break/play in the yard visits over the course of two days and she was punctual, flexible, communicative. We are definitely going to request her help again in the future.”


“Beth is so wonderful with my cats. They are so happy when she comes! I really appreciate how reliable she is and completely trust her caring for them. I highly recommend Beth. Thank you!”


“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”


“I hired Tara relatively last minute, yet she made time to come over prior to the job to meet my elderly dog and cranky cat. She was completely comfortable with their care, including medication for our dog. Her check ins were timely and through. We will definitely hire her again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I would care for my neighbors animals when they were out of town. I’ve always loved dogs and have a 7 yr old Labradoodle, Max, that I rescued when he was a four month old puppy. He had escaped from his original owners and been missing for two days. Please found him and he can run over by a car. They couldn’t save his leg so he’s a tripod. He doesn’t even know he’s missing a leg. Max loves walks, water, and playing with his best doodle friend, Molly. I also have a lot of experience administering insulin shots for dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies the way I care for mine. I am semi retired and my time is very flexible. I’m available for daily walks or pet sitting. I’ll care for your fur baby exact same way I care for mine. My dog Max is living his best life with me. He receives lots of love, walks, snuggles, and playtime. I would give your dogs the same care and affection.

“Grace did a great job with our senior pup and cat on recent drop in visits and walks. She was responsive, professional, and timely - and most importantly, the animals were really sorry to see her go!!”


“Marta was very good with Willow. She was able to accommodate us last minute and was very flexible when we needed to add a day. She took excellent care of her and kept us up to date on how she was doing.”


“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous about how it would work out, but there was no need to worry because Davide was exceptional! Davide is an extremely caring and conscientious dog-sitter whose highest priority was making sure our 13 year old dog was comfortable, engaged, and well-taken care of while we were away. Davide took our dog out for walks at every visit, and in addition to maintaining the feeding schedule, he also monitored how much he was eating, making any necessary adjustments to his meals that were needed. Davide also went above and beyond to look after our dog and our house, and sent us frequent reports and photos, which were all very reassuring. I was extremely pleased that Davide was looking after our dog and could tell that Davide is an experienced dog-sitter who anticipates what needs to be done and knows how to take care of any situation that may arise, whether it concerns a pet or the house. When we came home, our dog was happy and showed no signs of stress. I look forward to having Davide take care of our dog again in the future!”


About: I have been working and taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, snuggle, and even help train their pups. I'm taking a break from my studies so I have lots of time to play and hangout with your pet! I am available on weekdays and weekends. I offer dog walking, house sitting, and drop-ins. For each, it is up to you on what you would prefer I do with your pup. I am familiar with crating dogs, bathing, and leash training. I am an avid walker, so if your pup loves a good walk- I’m your gal! Let's work together to create the best plan for your pup!!

About: I have lived with, trained, brought up and loved dogs all of my 60 years. Currently I live alone and travel quite a bit for work so cannot own a dog myself but am happy to take care of yours when I'm available. I would not be a good regular sitter due to my schedule, but generally, you can count on me to look after your pup or cat while on vacation or whatever. I have lots of experience with senior dogs, and have on occasion babysat at your home if you are comfortable with that situation. I walk a lot around my apartment complex, which is very welcoming to dogs. I am also home during the day so your pup is not alone. When you board your dog with me, you can expect he or she would get a walk in the morning, around noon and during the evening with some short outside breaks as needed to do his or her business. If I visit your home, I can walk once a day for about 20-30 minutes.

About: I raised and trained high energy german shorthair pointer till she passed from cancer a year ago. Ive boarded a number of friends small/meduim sized dogs over the year and I am pretty active I love to help and go on walks I just moved to the glenview area with few stairs, big yard but I will always keep your dog on the leash. If needed I can take a dog on a run with me. I work from home twice a week and then own my own business and It is dog friendly. I can easily manage a few dogs if needed. I describe myself has a homebody and has been missing my doggy that just passed, but I am not yet ready to have one of my own full time yet. I am very active and I like to go on walks throughout my day and im needing a doggy to walk!! Dogs are allowed on furniture unless trained otherwise I will accommodate anything just let me know! A decent sized park is right across the street where I will take for short potty breaks and walks. Very minimal people at the park.

About: I have cared for and loved dogs since the age of 12. From puppies to senior dogs I have experienced it all. Our pets are part of the family and deserve love and care as such. I have trained 3 puppies, am well versed in dog training and take all safety precautions. I walk my own dog rain or shine and would love to have your dog along for our little adventures! I have a fenced in yard for free play and a park near by for walks. I have spaces available for in home doggie daycare and overnights as well as occasional walks. Let your mind be at ease knowing your doggo is safe and having fun with me! I have a fenced in yard and 1 sweet male golden retriever/ husky named Mr. Blue. He was socialized since puppyhood and loves to play with other dogs.

About: Let me meet your pup! I’m a huge human and pet lover. I help people by day working as a CT Tech in healthcare. Now I am looking to help animals in the evenings. Fun fact: I am currently on a weight loss journey and have been doing daily walks and I would love for someone else’s pup to join me! I am a very responsible and educated dog owner. My family dog, Baylor, is diabetic and requires lots of special care so I have learned a lot! :) I am currently a full time CT Technologist working Monday-Friday 7:30a-4p. However, I am home by 4:30pm every day. I am free in the evenings and all day on Saturday and Sunday. I recently moved here and do not have any pets of my own, but someday I will have lots of pets. For now, I would love to meet and care for someone else’s pets and make some extra money to save up for a house. :) I have a mostly fenced in yard - the only part not fenced in is the driveway itself, however, I plan to never have someone else’s dog outside without a leash on. I am a big worrier and anything can happen in a blink of an eye. In my home, pets can roam wherever and can go on furniture as they please. I treat others pets as I would want mine treated.


“Cooper loves Chris! She knows that I love to play catch with my hedge hogs and pays attention to my needs when she takes me out. Chris genuinely cares about her four legged friends and I intend to have her check in on Cooper whenever we'll be out for the entire day.”


About: I offer a warm, calm, loving environment. I only board one or two dogs at a time. This allows for personalized attention for your pet. I allow my pets and yours on my couch and bed. I have space to crate if that is what your dog needs or wants. I’m three blocks to the beach so if your pup likes to walk at the beach we have that available. We spend a lot of time outside if the weather permits. I can give meds and insulin shots if needed. I’m a pet owner myself so we plug in your pet’s needs into our daily routine. Meal times, potty time, can be accommodated and worked around. I treat your pup just like one of my own. I’m always careful to get their collars/harness on correctly. Play is supervised and highly encouraged.

Since then Jenny has fed and given Molly her insulin on many occasions when I have not been home to do it myself. She also would take Molly on walks with her and Max. Jenny is reliable, responsible and kind; the kind of person I would want to care for my dog!”

“Julia has had a lot of experience around dogs not only with her own but with others dogs. My family has 2 bigger dogs and she watches them when we go on vacation. Julia takes really good care of the dogs and stays with them while we are gone. She is in charge of walking, feeding and taking care of them while we are gone. My family trusts Julia to watch our dogs not only because she has experience with dogs, but because we know she will do a good job taking care of them because she loves animals. Julia is very passionate about animals especially dogs which makes her good for these kinds of jobs.”
