Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.

Marta was a delight and I had no issues or concerns. Marta was very good at making sure everything went smoothly and keeping me current on how my dog Sandy was doing. Sandy is a very active Yellow Lab. It was also very clear to me that Sandy very muchg enjoyed playing with Marta's dog and Marta's daughter. I know that Sandy would enjoy a return visit and I would not hesitate asking Marta to sit for Sandy again.

Soojin is an amazing doggy sitter! My pup Toby loved her so much, the next time I brought him to stay with her he was practically jumping out of the car window to jump in her arms. She truly loves dogs and caring for them and will treat your pup as if it's her own. 10/10! Will absolutely bring Toby back to stay with her when I need a sitter.

Chris was magic to work with. Super communicative, easy-going and ultimately a dog lover. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who is looking for extended dog boarding. (We used Chris for over a week while moving down to Florida). Thanks again for having our Pyradoodle!

About: I’ve had dogs as companions all my life: West Highland Terriers, Labradors and Collies. Puppies as well as senior and rescue dogs. I currently have two Labradors, Mona and Archie Weekdays, Mona & Archie are with me all day at home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship and lots of play time. We also have a fenced in yard, so your dogs can come in and out as they choose I have a fully fenced back yard where visiting dogs can run and play freely. My two Labradors are extremely friendly, fully vaccinated, and love welcoming new doggy friends.

Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.

Since this was a first ever boarding experience for both Carmen and me, we were a bit nervous. Mike made the experience a pleasure and kept me informed with pictures of Carmen relaxed and enjoying her stay. When I picked her up three days later, she didn’t want to leave her new canine buddies. I would definitely use Mike again.

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.

Once again Veronique has exceeded my expectations. Was my second time having her watch my dog Jimmie. She is wonderful and she has demonstrated her passion and expertise for canine care, by taking excellent care of my dog, and by sending me numerous photos and videos of Jimmie during her many long walks in parks and forest perserves which my dog loves. I did not worry a bit with Veronique in charge. Jimmie had a super great time playing with her two dogs. I highly recommend her for dog sitting and grooming.

Dan and Jana were phenomenal pet sitters! Their back yard is a perfect to run and play. They were consistent with updates and photos and were very easy to communicate with. Their dog Lula was great with our playful large dog and our more reserved small dog. They clearly have a lot of care for the dogs in their home, they even reached out to let us know our dog appeared to have an ear infection and were very helpful with applying medicine for her. We definitely plan to use their services again in the future.

About: Finalmente decidí de tener mi licencia de IL para mi compañía en cuidar perros y gatos en memoria de nuestra princesa Luna que falleció hace poco. En su honor seguiré cuidando a mascotas con el mismo amor y atención que ella tuvo en sus 15 años de vida 💕 Mi atención y tiempo siempre estará presente. Los horarios se basarán a las necesidades de las mascotas en mi casa. Cualquier pregunta me pueden mandar mensaje 💕 Tengo una jaula propia y un porche privado para la seguridad de las mascotas. También hay parques cercas de mi cuando el clima lo permita para ir a caminar.

She is the best! I do not have enough words to express my gratitude to her!! She took care of my doggo so well, lots and lots of pictures, and it’s clear my doggo had the time of his life. I trust her more than myself when it comes to taking care of him!

We had a great experience with Matthew! He was very flexible and accommodating when we needed to drop our dogs off earlier than originally scheduled. He kept us updated with pictures, and it was clear our dogs were having so much fun and were well cared for. We felt completely comfortable leaving them with him and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!!
