“Mayela was great! She stopped by three times to let our dog out and he had a great time. She was on time and was conscientious of the extreme heat we were experiencing, so she played with him indoors during her mid-day visit. Highly recommend!”
“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life ranging from fish, amphibians, rodents, birds, cats, and dogs. I love connecting with animals and giving them all the love they deserve! I also am a former vet assistant (I now work at a vet lab) so I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and health statuses. My priority is the pets’ safety and comfort, and will work with them to ensure we have a foundation of trust. I also can work enrichment into my visits to get their minds more stimulated or just give them a 15 minute belly rub if that’s more up their alley. I’ve also trained many of my pets so I can help introduce basic commands to puppies or reinforce commands and manners from older pets. I’m available pretty much every day for the summer. Once mid-August comes around, I’ll be available Sunday-Tuesday at all times and Wednesday-Saturday from 9-11 AM I can come in let the pets out, clean up messes from them, feed/water, play enrichment games or work on training, and give them lots of love!
“Lisa is an excellent caretaker and sitter, very friendly, personable and professional. Our cats were healthy, happy and not upset or shy like they’ve been in the past when we would go away on vacation — she treated them like her own family. Will definitely count on Lisa again in the future.”

“I’m so happy we were referred to Cindy! Today was the first time she was helped us and my dog turned into a hot mess :) Poor Cindy was just going to let her out for 30 minutes so she wouldn’t be in the crate too long without a break. Instead, due to a serious of minor mishaps our girl caused, Cindy ended up having to clean up multiple messes (in an unfamiliar house no less) and then took her for a walk to calm her down and get her back in the crate without stressing her out. She filled me in on everything that happened and even offered to check on her again before we got home, if we needed. She was so nice despite all the chaos and even complimented our Belle (she’s a handful, but a sweet one!) I highly recommend Cindy!!”
“Stefanie was a lifesaver when I requested her at the last minute to drop in and feed my cat. She took such good care of Kimber, had great communication and provided regular updates. Really, really appreciate her!”

If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.

About: Hi my name is Kiera. I am 26 years old and live in Mokena Illinois. I am currently a teacher with my masters in education. I have been active in taking care of dogs for 10 years. For four years i volunteered at NAWS animal shelter in Mokena where i walked and scoialized with both cats and dogs. Also in that time i fostered 4 dogs til they could find proper homes. Therefore i believe i am qualified to take care of your wonderful dog(s). I currently have one golden retriever (Nala) 2 cats (Odin and Mozzie) and a ball python (Snickers). I am really looking forward to meeting all the furry friends in the area and cant wait too meet them. Any dog is my kind of dog. Since I am a teacher I am usually busy during the week. However, I am sometimes available in evenings and mostly available on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard however my dog is picky and prefers walks over being let out into the fenced yard. Therefore she is walked by my family every morning and evening.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, and my love for fur babies has only grown since then! I treat every pup like my own family; to me, every dog is important and deserves 100% of my attention.🐶🦴🐾 Only thing I have to do during the week is school im currently going back to school for a degree however, I will have a lot of free time on my hands for whenever im needed. I have a fenced yard, huge backyard for the pups to play in and have fun as well as toys and more my neighborhood is pretty secure and safe. As far as pups being in my home they will be treated as my own food water the essentials many belly rubs playing around and naps so much more. I currently have a very small pit bull he’s very friendly and he’s just a baby so he’s harmless.
“As always, Kathryn did a great job with my very shy cat, who feels more familiar with her after each visit. Great communication and great at taking careful care of every detail.”

Sammi is very attentive. She listened to and followed through with the tasks requested, even when I had a tendency to change a few ideas from time to time. I definitely felt a lot more comfortable going on my trip with her watching my cats. There are also many other positives I can point out such as her having excellent communication, keeping up with updates, having exceptional people skills (which is still needed when dealing with pets) and truly making an effort to take care of my cats and ensure they and I were comfortable. I appreciated this greatly.
