“Scout had a wonderful time during her stay with Patricia! I knew she was in good hands from the moment we met her! Her love and enthusiasm towards dogs was so apparent and any anxiety about leaving my little girl instantly dissipated. Throughout the duration of Scout’s stay, Pat continually sent me pictures and texts to keep me in the loop about how Scout was doing. Thank you Pat, for treating Scout like part of your family and giving her so much love and attention! She can’t wait for her next visit!”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Veera! You looked after him wonderfully, and we really appreciated your prompt responses to all our questions. We felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend your pet care services!”

“Jennifer spent a week with my puppy while I was out of town, and all I can say is that she is a SAINT! I can’t stress enough how amazing, patient, and kind Jennifer was to Benny. She is great with updates and recommendations. If you need a sitter, you can’t do better than Jennifer.”

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.
“Kim is always great with our little dog Winston. She provided walks, a large yard for him to run around in, and lots of pictures and updates. Winston loves being spoiled there.”
“Swagata is one of the best pet lover and sitter in Chicago area. She entertained an early drop off before my travel. Took care of my cat the most caring and loving way. She assured my cat’s comfort and provided treat for my cat’s teeth clean regularly as complementary. She had lot of toys in her place. The stay of my cat was a great learning experience for my cat health and hygiene as well. I would love to find her again for my cat boarding and highly recommend her as your best pet sitter and wish her success endeavor.”

About: I raised my Pom since birth till he passed. A cat that we have at home in FL we rescued at birth from shipping cart now she is 4 years old. I’m working at home on my own pace. So I have full attentions for your love ones. My husband works full time. There is only 2 of us in our 2 bedrooms. I babysit your paws babies at my extra bedroom in my apartment. My husband and I are animals lovers. We speak animals languages. Furs babies are better than Ppl.

“This was my first time leave my dog Bruce anywhere other than my house. He can be a little anxious, so we were nervous to do this, but gave it a shot considering all the positive reviews Dee had. Dee updated us several times a day with messages and pictures/ videos of Bruce, which helped us relax because he looked happy at her house. Dee was very responsive to messages when we replied and we will be booking again for future trips if she is available!!”

About: I love pets and take care of them as my children! If you’re out of town I will make sure you have constant updates, they are well taken care of, and they are loved like my own fur babies. I am home all day, so your pet will never be left alone. Price is negotiable, pet care should not prohibit you to enjoy yourself on vacations or emergency situations! I currently am a full time student online so I am home all day. I only leave the house to pick up my son for school, but I can take your fur baby with me if they cannot be left alone. I will take them out every 2-3 hours but will adjust if they need to go out more! I let them roam the house freely and have an unfenced yard I will take them on walks and play with them. Your pets will be in a trusted environment.
“Chisato was amazing and took such great care of our Lucey! She sent so many photos and videos and we could tell how comfortable Lucey felt and how much fun she was having! We will definitely have Chisato care for Lucey again!”

“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”

“Jacob the dog whisperer was ever so patient, kind, and knowledgeable with our senior dog. Can’t thank you enough for opening your home and heart to our feisty girl.”
“Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!”


“Jayne took care of our dog Biubiu for a whole month and did a fantastic job! We could tell Jayne really bonded with Biubiu and treated him as if he were her own dog. A few weeks into the stay Biubiu had some soft/liquid stool issues, and Jayne did a great job communicating with us so we could determine the best course of action for Biubiu. She also took the most amazing daily photos of Biubiu, way better than the pictures we ourselves have taken of him.”

“Monica is awesome with our Sky. She genuinely loves dogs and takes really special care to give ours the attention that she needs. The communication is great and she has been very flexible with our erratic schedules. We’re very happy to have met her and we feel very comforted knowing our Sky is in her good hands”

“Elena was very good with Bonzie when we dropped him off! He's a very timid dog and doesn't eat when very stressed, but he ate for her. Would definitely book again!”
