1. Roisin O.
“Roisin was an absolutely amazing with our dog, Estes. We don’t live in the area but was visiting family in her hometown area. She came to my parents’ place and stayed with our dog for a few hours while we attended a memorial service. She came the night before to do an “ meet and greet,” and it was apparent right away she knew how to handle our sensitive dog. She communicated right away and sent pictures so we could be at ease and enjoy the service. We would book again with her in a heartbeat. Thank you so very much!!!!”
2. Bridgitt B.
“Bridgitt is fantastic! She thinks of the little things and always put our babies first. She sent videos, updates and pics throughout our entire trip which we appreciated so much. Our older cat had gotten seriously sick a few weeks before so we were very concerned having to leave. She made us feel so secure that everyone was in good hands. THANK YOU BRIDGITT!”
3. Lisa H.
“Lisa was super great with our pups, Penny and Sedona. They both warmed up to her immediately and Lisa made sure they were comfortable and loved while we were away. We got frequent updates and pictures which really eased our minds. Lisa also gave us peace of mind, being at the house and keeping us updated on things. She also took care of our chickens and went out of her way to get some extra treats when we ran out. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter/housesitter to take care of our babies and our home. We will definitely be booking with Lisa again!”
4. Sarah H.
“Sarah did an exceptional job. Copper loved her. She sent tons and tons of pictures and updates. We will definitely be using here time and time again!!”
5. Kelly C.
“Absolutely the best, Kelly is so wonderful with our home and our pup, she’s the only reason we’re able to travel (and so flexible with us when we do!)”
6. Rachel L.
“Rachel did a fantastic job for us and we could not be happier. She was great with our dogs and sent videos and pictures to keep us updated. She was very respectful to our home during her time here as well. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
7. Angela D.
“Angela and her daughters were great watching Rex! They were able to step in at the last minute and we really appreciated it!”
8. Pamela W.
“Pam is wonderful, felt totally comfortable and confident leaving my home and 3 boys in her hands. I would highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your pets. Came home to a clean home and happy boys!”
9. Sam C.
“Sam was great with our pups! He has a calm demeanor, and they really took to him. After one meeting, they already act like they have known him forever! They were looking for him when he left, wondering if he was going to come back through the door. :) We will definitely reach out for Sam to help us again next time! Thank you.”
10. Emalee K.
“Emalee was quick to respond, from beginning inquiry to the end of the service. She was sweet and pleasant and easy to deal with. She did everything she agreed to do and even popped in again for us when our trip back got delayed. Our pup loved her and there wasn't a mess to clean when we got back and our pup was happy and well taken care of upon our return. Would use again and would recommend 100%! <3”
11. Erin M.
“Erin was extremely nice and very good at answering messages. She came and met both my pups ahead of time and although one of my dogs was a little nervous, Erin was calm and relaxed and the stay at my house ended up going perfect while I was away at my wedding. Will 100% use her again when needed !”
12. Jennifer M.
“Jennifer was a ray of sunshine, energetic and bubbly. She was prompt, friendly and kind. She wore out our pup. We have already booked her again. Ty”
13. Michelle G.
“Jaclynn and Nala seemed to have loved their stay with Michelle! She is very responsive and sends pictures to let you know your pups are doing okay. Will definitely book with her again”
14. Krista F.
“Krista took wonderful care of our three dogs. She kept me up to date throughout my trip of what they were doing (eating, going out, meds, etc.), and sent me pics and a video of them. She was especially careful with our 15+ year old dog. I was able to relax and have fun, knowing my dogs were well cared for. I would highly recommend having her watch your pets.”
15. Gray P.
“Gray is fantastic with animals, coming from a family with over 20+ years in pet shop ownership. She is knowledgeable about different breeds’ temperaments and how to provide positive reinforcement so that dogs maintain their calm and happy attitude while in her presence. She is very sweet and patient with our dogs who are always excited to see her when she comes to our home! We also just really enjoy working with Gray as a person. She is very responsible, flexible and responsive to our needs. We highly recommend her to any doggy parent who needs their pupper to be loved and well cared for.”
16. Aiden F.
About: I’ve had pets and taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats and dogs and have worked with senior dogs and senior cats as well as kittens and a couple puppies. I also have worked with dogs who needed medical treatments like diabetes. Currently I have a lovely cat who is one year old named binx. I love all animals and will be sure that your pet is in the best care. I work part time on the weekends but I always have time for a pretty pooch or cute kitty! I’d be happy to fit them in my schedule. I am willing to take every precaution necessary to take care of your pet in home. I do have some other pet essentials and would be willing to pick up some things that may be needed. No need to worry about if you’d pet has medical needs because I am comfortable with taking care of your pet in any way possible.
17. Dana M.
“This was the first time I had a sitter in my home. I did not feel nervous because the meet and greet went well and I felt comfortable with Dana. And I was glad that Zuri got to stay in her own home while we were away. I already booked my next stay with Dana.”
18. Elizabeth W.
“Elizabeth is the definition of selfless and she will do whatever necessary to make sure the pets are well taken care of. She loves her own fur babies with compassion, love, and large amounts of cuddles. I would not hesitate to have her watch my fur babies anytime that she is available because I know she well treat them with the same love and care that I do and would. A+ and highly recommended and second to none.”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I am the entrusted pet sitter for my neighborhood and family members. I help walk dogs and hangout with cats for holiday seasons and much more. I am comfortable administering medicine, diaper changes, and etc. I’m currently attending Loyola Chicago during the week, but I am available evenings after 4 PM on MWF and after 6PM on Tu/Th, also- anytime on the weekends!
