“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!”


“My rescue Pom has major trust issues. Viktoryia did a great job of caring for her and gaining her trust. I would definitely recommend V. to anyone looking for a good spot for their furry friends. It’s so good to know I have a great spot for next time I need to find a Rover! Thank you Victoryia!”


“First time that I left my dog for 3 days and it was an amazing experience. My dog likes it so much. Evelyn is a great dog sitter and she loves dogs. Text me every day to let me know how my dog is doing with pictures and I recommend her 100%. Thank you again Evelyn. You are awesome.”


“We couldn’t have had asked for a better sitter for our Cheech. Emma was great with keeping us up to date with their daily activities. We’ll definitely be booking her again.”


“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!”


“Sarah and her family are true gems! They watched our beagle for five days who has very bad separation anxiety. Our little girl was well looked after, taken on walks, cared for during fireworks and loved playing with their sweet dog, River. Sarah kept us updated with photos which I really appreciated. Will definitely use her again and I highly recommend!”


“Faith is timely with her responses and has great communication. She sends updates and pics. Her schnauzer Levee is a sweet dog and got along well with my Bree. My dog Bree seemed to be very happy and comfortable during her time with Faith.”


“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!”


“James took such great care of my dog Fletcher for a 3 night stay! I got daily updates with pics and James had Fletcher happily waiting for an easy quick pick up! My dog LOVED playing with James' dogs. HIGHLY recommend James!”


“Leslie is the absolute BEST! We wouldn’t trust our dogs with anyone else. She is compassionate and cares for our dogs and that gives us peace of mind.”


“Asia was fantastic with our dog. She communicated very well and he was happy and healthy when we picked him up. We hope to use her again soon.”

“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”


“Nero loved his stay with Barbara and Archie. Barbara sent updates and photos each day. Nero ate well and slept comfortably. I highly recommend Barbara and will book again.”



“First time for my pup Wyatt with Thelma. He had a great time . Everything about this process was easy and I was able to visit my college son in NY without a worry! Thanks so much to Thelma and her family for taking such loving care of my boy .”


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.


“As a returning customer, I have a very high review of Ashley. She’s always takes great care of our dog and is very helpful whenever we need assistance I would highly recommend her services”


“Natalya was kind and gentle with my pup.Provided a peaceful environment, sent photos and kept us updated. We were very pleased with the care our fur baby received and would be happy to use her services in the future.”

“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”


“Nathalie has cared for our dog Billy several times. She is the most caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter we have encountered. Billy loves going to her house and always has a great time there. She is truly the best. We were lucky the moment we found her for Billy. We appreciate you so much, thanks Nathalie”
