“Erika was wonderful with our dogs! She was great at sharing updates each day and very respectful of our home and space. She even left a sweet Easter treat for the dogs and my son when we came home! We will absolutely use her again for vacations!”

Elizabeth G.

“Kimberley was fantastic and we highly recommend her. Our dogs clearly love her, and we had total peace of mind while we were away. Her experience caring for diabetic dogs was especially invaluable and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house — we will continue booking with her!”

Allison B.

“Ann was wonderful! After trying a few other sitters and a highly rated kennel, I found a perfect fit! Ann sent pictures, played ball with Bailey endlessly, and let Rascal sleep in bed with her. Just perfect!”

Carol C.

“Lexi was great! She was excellent with Baba, responsible and responsive.”

Martha K.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Scott was fantastic with our dogs during the nine days we were away. He clearly cared for them like they were his own, and the thoughtful updates he sent made us feel completely at ease while we were gone. Our pups were happy, healthy, and well-loved when we returned. Beyond being a reliable sitter, he’s just an overall great guy, and we feel very lucky to have found him. We’d book with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets.”

Clarisa W.

“We were a little nervous, having never used Rover before, about letting a stranger into our home to watch our pups. After meeting Caroline prior to our trip, we knew our dogs and home were in good hands. Caroline was quick to respond to all of our messages prior to and while on our trip. She was amazing and we will definitely use her again.”

About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.

“Danielle took such good care of our babies and was a responsive communicator and sent lots of pics! They love when Danielle comes to hang with them.”

“Goka was great. She is trustworthy and obviously loves animals. She took our dog on walks (more than he's used to with just us, which I'm sure he loved), visited frequently and sent us photos of how he was doing. It was really great for him to be able to stay at home.”

Tracy F.

“Maddie was great! She stayed at our house with our 14 year old, blind fur baby, Liz. She kept us well informed throughout the weekend. It was so nice to have a trustworthy sitter and return to a happy, relaxed dog. Liz was in excellent hands, and we could tell she felt completely comfortable and safe with Maddie. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable sitter!”

About: I have been pet sitting for several years ever since I was around the age of 13. Additionally, I work at Anderson Humane in South Elgin as a kennel tech and have been working there since August! I have worked with many different animals as a Kennel Tech, I also have experience with administering medicine and I am Fear Free certified. My animal experience is very important to me as I plan on majoring in animal science on the pre-vet track this upcoming fall when I head off to college! :) I work part time but I have plenty of time to care for your pets otherwise. My availability is open most of the time so just let me know when I’m needed and I should be able to accommodate! I look forward to meeting your pets! I am experienced in ensuring your animal stays comfortable and happy even if they may get nervous meeting someone new for example... I have lots of experience working with shy and reactive dogs and am comfortable with all temperaments because I can handle them well! I know how important your pets are so I am well prepared for anything!

About: I have grown up with pets since I can remember. I have had pets ranging from cats and dogs to birds and my daughter even had a hedgehog. I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cat. I love animals. I have pet sat several times for friends, I even kept a friends 2 dogs for 3 weeks when she went on her trip to New Zealand. I have two years of professional pet sitting experience working with another company when I lived in Texas. I just recently moved from there. I recently moved from Texas to Illinois. I have open availability and hope to bring in a steady income once again pet sitting. I worked for a year as a professional pet sitter through a company in Texas. I can follow any routine with your pets in their own homes for their needs. I have the ability to stay overnight with them so that they are in the comfort of their own homes.

“Sydney was great! Very friendly and willing to do all the tiny things our little guys needed! She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing as this was their first time with a sitter. We would highly recommend her for anyone and hope to use her services again. I'd rate higher if I could.”

About: When I had roommates, they have a cat who has wobbly cat syndrome (Cerebellar Hypoplasia) which makes him walk a little funny! He can’t go more than two to three steps without falling over, and eating is quite a challenge. Having cared for him has made me really patient and understanding of animals. I recently just left a data entry job, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I love animals more than people so they are going to fit perfectly into my daily routine. I would spend time with your pet as much as you’d like! I love spending time with animals whether that’s playing with them, giving them pets, going on walks or just being next to them giving them company!

“Sara stayed with our motley crew of critters while we went away for a long weekend. They’re somewhat high maintenance and I left feeling confident they’d be well cared for. Sara provided updates whenever asked and everyone was happy and healthy upon our return! Thanks Sara!”

About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.

“Renee did an AMAZING job with our pets. She sent so many updates and videos, we loved it. She also brought my packages inside for me which is a nice little bonus ☺️☺️”
