Rest easy knowing your furry friends are in good hands! Ruby is by far the most competent and kind pet care professional I have had the honor to work with! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my high needs pets - they require someone detail oriented, intuitive, compassionate and FUN - that is Ruby! Ruby was communicative, thorough, and easy to work with all around, what a joy! I didn’t have to explain much, Ruby took care of everything, thank you, Ruby!

Charlii is a fabulously professional house and cat sitter! She has fantastic knowledge of plants and how to take care of them (which is a real treat for my urban jungle collection). My cat was very happy with Charlii’s company for the long weekend I was away, and a bit sad her new friend wasn’t there once I came home. Charlii sent thorough daily updates and pictures and had great professional communication before and after the sitting job. 100% recommend!

Hello everyone, I’m a really good friend of Kimberley. Every time we would hang out and willl be driving around every time she sees a dog in the streets she pauses and just admire the pets so much. Even when we hang out and walk around she would always ask if she can pet someone’s dog and every time she shows them love Kimberly voice will change into a cute little voice. Kimberly is a amazing with pets and she’s a amazing person.

Samantha took care of my 5 year old Vizsla pup for a multi day housesitting stay and was just incredible - her communication leading up to and during the stay was impeccable, she was punctual, attentive to details, sent me multiple pictures and check ins a day, took amazing care of the house, and overall just showered my dog with love and listened to every instruction I left and beyond. I would 110% highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you Samantha and I will definitely be re-booking with you!

Isaiah was an amazing dog sitter and house sitter. His communication skills are excellent and kept me updated throughout our trip. I didn’t have to worry at all about Raya and I knew she was happy from all the pictures I would get throughout the day. He was also an excellent house guest and left our house as we left it. I will definitely be booking Isaiah again!

Anais took excellent care of Rumple, made sure she had all the particulars and asked thoughtful questions to be prepared to care for our guy. She even dealt with an embarrassing lock out situation that was completely my fault with patience and grace. I eagerly recommend her services and will definitely request her again next time Rumple needs company. Your pet is in great hands with Anais.

Matt was really great. We were really nervous to leave our pup with someone, especially since it was the first time since we adopted her, and she was in great hands with Matt. He was very sweet with her and took the time to understand her quirks as a dog with big feelings and reactivity. We will absolutely book him again!

Meagan has watched my pup Bode many times over the years. He is an 80 pound husky mix that can be a handful at times, and she is incredibly patient with him! She's taken him on hikes and other adventures and he always comes back a very tired, happy, loved pup.

Heather is truly exceptional when it comes to caring for and training dogs. Not only does she have a deep understanding of doggy body language, but her ability to connect with them is amazing. She has a natural gift for reading their cues and creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and understood. I’ve seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond for my dogs: Karter, Renfrow, and Lady. Heather’s patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I trust her completely to provide the best care. I couldn’t ask for a better trainer or caregiver for my fur babies.

Not only would Samantha be an awesome dog walker/sitter for your dog, she also has a dog herself so she knows what she's doing. She has also fostered several different dog breeds/mixes and understands how different dog breeds can act. Samantha is an experienced and amazing dog owner/dog walker. She takes them for the best walks out around the neighborhood or in the forest preserve. If you want a dog walker who not only takes your dog for fun walks, but genuinely cares and treats your dog right...then choose Samantha!

Kendall took great care of our puppy and our home while we were away for the holidays. It was our first experience with any long term sitter and our longest stretch away from our puppy. Kendall was an amazing caretaker and sent us loads of pictures and frequent updates. We will definitely ask her again if we ever need care for our pup. Thanks Kendall!!!
