They were AWESOME! Immediately we hit it off talking about our mutual interests. My dog gets a bit hyper but Levi was able to demonstrate techniques to calm him down and quickly. Once I left they sent me regular updates and I never had to worry about whether or not my kitten and dog were in good hands. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure I was updated. I’ve never used Rover but I definitely will again. I also will definitely be using Levi. Thank you so much for everything!

Jasmine took excellent care of Zoey while we were out of town for nearly a week. Despite Zoey's nervousness and the challenges it posed initially, Jasmine exercised a lot of patience and willingness to try different things to allow Zoey to feel more safe. And after the first night, Zoey warmed up significantly! Jasmine kept us updated throughout the trip, whether it was the challenges on the first day or the big successes in the days that followed! We really appreciated Jasmine's skills, knowledge, and commitment to taking care of Zoey.

Claire was fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.

About: Hello!! My name is Julia I’m 23 and I love animals. Ever since I was little I’ve always had a special interest in nature and animas especially cats! One of my favorite childhood memories is rescuing feral kittens in my neighborhood and finding homes for them. In my teens years I started dog and cat sitting for friends and family and ever cared for horses and rabbits in my high schools FFA. As of now I’m a painter and artist with a lot of time on my hands and would love to spend some quality time with your pets! When staying with a pet I like to follow a schedule for potty and feeding times since familiar routines can calm pets that might be anxious around new people :)

We moved to Chicago just a few weeks before a two week trip to Australia, so needless to say we were a bit worried about leaving our cat. I got in touch with Nicole before we even moved and she was great right from the start. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures at least twice a day and was very communicative. She asked if her boyfriend could stay with her and since we were gone for two weeks, we agreed to that. They stayed at our apartment for two weeks and treated both our cat and our apartment with care. You could barely tell anyone had stayed there when we got back. I also left them a novel of instructions and they followed it all (although I could've been more clear on how many treats he should get, he got spoiled!). As soon as she got to our house at the start of our booking, our anxieties about leaving our cat were gone. Can't recommend booking Nicole enough.

Rahmya was amazing! She was very flexible in setting up a meet and greet and instantly prioritized befriend Stormie. I got lots of updates and update pictures daily of stormie which made the whole process of being out of town much easier. I never felt like Stormie wasn't in good hands. The home was clean and perfectly tidy when we arrived back, which was so appreciated when returning from our trip. I would 100% recommend Rahmya for anyone looking for a pet sitter 💙

Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.

Jasmine is the epitome of caring combined with professionalism. She took care of my small shorkie for an extended stay and when i returned my pet was calm and well cared for. Jasmine checked in every day with a quick message update and pics to let me know how things were coming along. She even checked in on the plants as well. Highly recommend this sitter and will use her again

Ahriel housesat for us for 15 days over the holiday to care for our Boston Terrier, Millie. Ahriel was very professional, responsible, and reliable. Ahri was thoughtful in her questions during the meet and greet and Millie liked her immediately, which isn’t always the case. While we were away, she communicated regularly with us in line with our agreed frequency, sending photos and making note of anything concerning. She stayed at our home while we were away and left it clean and exactly as it was when we left (maybe better?). Millie is happy and healthy! I would highly recommend Ahri and will always check her availability for future sits!

Marlicia is the best!!! She is a wonderful dog sitter and home sitter as well. My husband and I have used her three times now and will continue to do so whenever possible, she is attentive to the dogs schedules and routines, sends multiple updates and is always easy to get a hold of if needed. We can tell our dogs enjoy their time with her as well, when we come home they are relaxed and happy, which is truly the piece of mind we need. She also has had to manage random scenarios that came up and is so go with the flow. For example The first time we used her services she had to facilitate our movers dropping off all our stuff while we were on a cruise and not reachable for some time 😱 she also even gave us a present when we came back from our wedding trip, which meant a lot to us! she is excellent at long stays as well, all three times we have had her stay with the dogs we were gone for 8-10 days. Plus she is able to walk our 90lb Doberman and 50lb Aussie at the same time (not easy to do at all!) and we could tell she had experience with all different dog breeds and sizes. I cannot recommend her enough!
