“Evelyn has been so wonderful! She sends lots of pictures and updates, and was able to drop the dogs off to my house when my flight got cancelled and delayed- taking stress of my plate with pets and travel!”

“Elisa was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my pup. I loved getting videos and pictures throughout his stay with her. It was obvious he was well loved and cared for while at her home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Team Stephany did a wonderful job boarding Penny! Good feedback daily and I could tell Penny was having a wonderful time with Minnie. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use their services in the future. Thank you!”

“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”

“Delia was great with Tunny! He has a lot of energy and she handled that well with lots of play time! Very responsive and sent pictures which was so nice. We would definitely book with her again ☺️”

“Leslie was so thoughtful and attentive with our pug. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos. He got to spend the weekend playing in the yard with her sweet pug Patrick and we could not be happier to know he was in good hands. Will definitely book her again in the future and recommend to those looking for sitter!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”

“I left my 2 dogs with Faith & Tanner while I was on vacation and they were amazing. Faith sent me pictures and updates every day multiple times a day which I love because I’m a helicopter dog mom. My girls were so happy during their stay. I will definitely be rebooking with them!”

“Brooke took fabulous care of our dog! She came to our home to pick up our dog, immediately showed that our dog would be in good hands, sent us photos and videos throughout her stay, gave our dog her medicine, gave her a bath, and even had a dance party. We will definitely put our dog in Brooke's care again.”

“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”

“Beth was amazing. Our small dog can be nervous around new people but she did really well with Beth. Beth was very attentive to our dog and very communicative with us. Everything went smoothly…. Zero problems. We would highly recommend her and will plan to use her again!”

“We are so pleased with our experience with Nathalie. It’s obvious she loves dogs; she greeted our Murphy with a big hug. She was familiar with looking after young puppies and had all the patience in the world with our dog. She sent us photos of Murphy playing and having fun everyday. This was the first time we used her and we’ll definitely trust our Murphy with her again.”

“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand how much they mean to a family. We’ve always had a family dog, our last one passed in 2020 after 16 years of love. I’m experienced with caring for dogs of all ages and personalities — from playful puppies to sweet seniors — and will treat your pet like part of my own family. Reliable, gentle, and attentive, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my regular routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a one-year-old, and we both love going on walks and spending time outdoors. Having pets around adds even more joy to our day! Your furry friend will get plenty of attention, love, and fresh air while in our care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and explore safely. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure pets are never left unattended. Inside, they’ll have a cozy environment with plenty of love and attention — just like home!
“Our dog Nemo had an amazing time. Even our young kids said it when they saw him. She sent photos and updates. It was great to go on vacation and not worry. Thank you so much Jaclyn!!!!”


“Duff had a wonderful first visit with Lindsey G. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We are looking forward to a long relationship knowing Duff is in great hands.”

“We were so happy with Kendal and Dre. Dexter seemed so comfortable with them and their pup, Zeus. They were excellent keeping us informed with text messages, pictures and videos. Kendal even gave him a goody bag with homemade treats and a toy bone. We have already booked them for another stay next month. Thank you for making us feel comfortable leaving our baby with you both.”
