“Very easy to communicate with and they have an adorable dog! Our pup came back from her overnight stay so happy and tired from all of the playing they did.”
“Megan was incredible with our 8 year old Aussie! He can get anxious around other dogs and she did a great job integrating him, he came back so happy and exhausted from lots of play, stimulation, and attention. She even sent us home with a goodie bag for him!”
“Thao took great care of Murphy and Macy during my 3 night trip. She communicated well during both pick up and drop off - took the dogs to the park without me asking (which I so appreciated) - and they came back very happy. I'd gladly use Thao again when schedule align! THANK YOU! Murphy, Macy and Kyle”
“Christian is literally the best. My dog never wants to come home, which annoys me, but I love knowing my boy is having fun with someone who loves him. Thanks, Christian!”
“My little guy enjoyed his stay with Corey and Robert. Thank you for taking such good care of my Diego. I look forward to having him stay with you again in the future.”
“Wow! What a great 1st time experience! Ian was nothing short of great to our pup Maverick! Genuinely so caring and attentive! Sent the cutest photos and videos and loved on our golden doodle so well. Highly recommend. Communicative and so responsive 10/10 experience. Thanks Ian.”
“Miranda really came through when I realized I needed a last minute sitter! I messaged her at 9 am and she was fine for my dog to be over that morning. She communicates great and sends photos. I feel 100% comfortable leaving my pet with her.”
“Emilie is such a FANTABULOUS find on Rover!! Top notch sitter, truly. Pretty sure my dog enjoyed her stay with Emilie more than I enjoyed my vacation out of state, lol! And her professionalism/trustworthiness made me feel so comfortable despite my initial anxiety for 5 nights away from my dog. Some highlights: Frequent potty breaks and walks, awesome location to explore for dogs by lakefront, an amazing dog to befriend in Bear (so easy-going, gentle, friendly, a great model for a pup to look up to!), can do pickup and dropoff, generally smart with dogs, heard my details requested and followed through on them (feeding, nightime routine, even training exercises my dog does daily, etc.), sincerely cared about my dog's wellbeing (updates were so sweet!), on-time, clear communicator, just all-around A++!”
“Brian is wonderful. He and his family were so accommodating to our shifting pick up times due to family circumstances. And they took such great care of our boy. His stay was over the holidays, and Brian was so thoughtful to get Indy a Christmas chew toy of his own. He also was so great and proactive about sending daily updates and photos - that hasn’t always been our experience with others. Such a great stay, and Indy will be happy to go back to his new friends when the occasion arises.”
“We are so thankful to have found Laura! She sent lots of photos and we felt relaxed knowing they were being so well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”
“James was communicative, sent daily pictures, and offered a GREAT home for Tully for the weekend. She can be a handful, so knowing she was being well looked after was a great comfort. Your dog will definitely have a home full of love and company with James and his family!”
About: I raised my own fur kiddo for 15 years until her passing in January. I can’t bring myself to adopt again just yet, but I also have so much love inside me for furry friends, and I deeply miss having one around! I have experience with a wide age range of pets, as well as medicine administration. Given the opportunity I would love to spoil and care for your loved one(s) 🐶🐱🐰🐹🩵 I am fully remote during the summer months and then work from home most days during the year, so I am very flexible to your needs! I keep a very clean, tidy and safe home! Since I WFH, I always have my phone on me and will respond to you in a timely manner. There are no children or other pets in my home. The neighborhood is beautiful to walk around for both pets and people alike!
“Kimberly helped us out with a super last minute 2 week boarding stay. Dallas was well taken care of and made a new little bestie in Kimberly’s son (probably because he had all the treats 😂)!”
“Jonathon took the time to make Kenya feel comfortable. He followed my instructions and went out of his way to make things work. The only thing I would like more is additional information about walks and how he’s doing on eating, etc. I will use Jonathon again and trust him with my dog - that’s the most important thing.”
“Jennifer is fantastic! We needed a last minute sitter for the 4th and she was able to board Miso no problem! Jennifer was very prompt with communication and kept me updated with pictures! Will definitely board here again.”
“Cynthia is the best in the business, I can rest easy on my vacations knowing my dog is safe and having a blast on her watch. She’s always my first call for a sitter in Evanston!”
“Max and Caitlin took amazing care of Eddie during his week there. He’s a reluctant eater and has some anxiety, and they listened to my concerns and paid special attention to his needs all week. They sent lots of photos and detailed updates, putting my nerves at ease. Eddie also loved being able to hang out with their dog Bowie for the week. Max and Caitlin were wonderful caretakers and provided lots of long walks and attention. They opened their home and yard to him and made him feel at ease. We’re looking forward to an occasion for another stay. I would recommend them to anyone!”

Melika S.
“Melika is a doting animal lover through and through. Your dogs will love her engaging walks around the neighborhoods. She has always gravitated towards people’s fur families and there is harmony in that. I have known Melika for 20 years, and I have witnessed her adore and care for every dog/cat/etc., Her positive cadence is immediately welcoming for both pet and parent. It takes a parent to know what another one will need. Melika’s years of puppy motherhood have made her the perfect mix of caring and responsible. Call her!”
