“Jennevy is every dog parents’ wish for competence, kindness and dependability! She’s engaging and easy to visit with, as well as, giving great attention to your dog!❤️❤️❤️”
“Diane came and watched our little girl Penelope for a day so my husband and I could get out of the house. Penelope was new to Chicago and having a tough time settling in - we wanted Penelope to have someone with her while we were out to ensure she was comfortable. Diane was absolutely phenomenal from the start - an excellent communicator and made us feel comfortable right away. You can tell she is extremely expert when it comes to the care of animals. Penelope can be very shy/anxious and tends to run away/hide when she is stressed. Diane got down on the floor with Penelope and patiently waited for her to come out when she was ready. Diane sent us photos throughout the day along with updates/messages which made me feel so much better and allowed me to relax while we were out. I was amazed at how quickly Penelope warmed to Diane and felt totally confident in Diane taking care of my baby. Diane is absolutely such a wonderful person, I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely hope to have her back!”
“Klaudia was fantastic! When I got back home, my dogs was very calm. It seemed like they spent a good time outside and were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Klaudia & contact her for future bookings! :)”
“Ashley was fantastic with my puppy! A 4-month old puppy is a lot of work, but my pup was in good hands the entire time. She goes above and beyond and not only does the required feeding and walks, but plays with and cuddles her, too. This new puppy mama had piece of mind knowing she had company and was being taken care of. Ashley was also very communicative and I received many pictures and messages while at my event on Saturday! I will definitely use her again :)”
“Thanks Mari! Our babes and home were well taken care of during our 12 day trip. She was communicative and very caring. Will definitely continue to rely on Mari for our pet and house sitting needs.”
About: Ever since I was 17 I’ve been taking care of dogs from family friends to school friends! Ive had over 7 dogs of my own and have trained most of them with my brothers help! I do work at an animal hospital so I’m qualified to give medications as well as being able to notice and take care of minor medical situations like digestive issues. I’m able to give nail trims and do eat and eye cleanings do to my experience with my 3 Maltese and I’m able to handle bigger breed dogs with a lot of energy since I have had several pit bulls and retrievers! I’m always keeping parents updated since I know how much we miss our fur babies! Very open to accommodations! I’m currently working at the animal hospital during the mornings on weekdays and some weekends but I’m always able to switch shifts around if necessary :) When at your home I will make sure your pet feels safe around me and doesn’t feel like I’m Intruding in its home! (Please feel free to leave me notes on your pets personality so I can better adjust the way I interact/play with them to make them feel as comfortable as needed!)
“1st time using Kaylie last weekend at the house - she was very thorough and took care of Sammi as per our directions. Will definitely utilize her again if we head out of town again. Very responsive and communicative.”
“Vickie was exceptional with our boys (large dog, Indy, and cat, Sprout). She always kept the line of communication open and sent us pictures and updates of the pets every day. She is kind, respectful, caring, and clean, and she will go above and beyond to make sure you and your pets are comfortable and happy. Would highly recommend!”
“It is always hard to leave my pets but Julia was so diligent about keeping me updated with pictures and videos that it made it easier. It was so nice to see how the fur babies were doing everyday. I'd feel confident having Julia back to house sit any time.”
“Rene was so kind to our pup and just by looking at her I knew that my puppy was going to be in good hands she responded quickly and gave us updates and pictures we were able to enjoy our night and we will be rescheduling thank you so much for such an amazing experience.”
“Sasha was a wonderful house sitter for our two cats. She provided frequent updates about how they were doing and worked with me and my schedule before her visit to meet the cats. We would definitely love to have Sasha take care of our cats again!”
“Keri took great care of Benny! She stayed overnight and left the house clean. Keri gave updates and pictures along the way. We’ll definitely request her care for our big pup again soon.”

Catherine took great care of our persnickety pets, including our elderly dog and feisty cat. She was a very kind and conscientious houseguest as well which is much appreciated! So grateful to have someone we can trust to care for our babies so well when we travel!
We got so lucky with Jessemy! He was amazing with our two clowns. Loved getting pictures and videos of them. I appreciated how patient he was with Taco since he does have separation anxiety but otherwise they are both sweet boys. We will definitely will be reaching out to Jessemy again when he need someone to take care of our babies! He genuinely cares about your babies and your honey. Very kind!
Julia was great and so sweet. She followed all instructions for our two dogs as we traveled. After meeting her, I could tell she was a true animal lover which I always look for :) The house was left just as it was! I would highly recommend and plan to use her care again.
