“My dog Chloe loves her time at Melissa’s house. She’s always at home there and Melissa always sends pics with updates. Chloe says thanks for a great stay!”
“Chelsey and her roommates did a great job taking care of Daisy! They played with her and took her on walks. I was nervous about Daisy being with another dog but by the next day they were best friends! I will deffiently be using Chelsey again when I need Daisy to go to a sitter. Chelsey sent me pictures and messages to let me know how it was going throughout the visit.”
“We boarded Oreo with De'Aysia from the 27th-29th of September and I can honestly say I would book her again! She made sure to give updates on him while I was away and answered any questions I had pretty quickly. This was my first time using the service and I'm glad with how everything turned out :)”
“Boarding with Lola was great! We were worried about our sweet boy Franklin as we’ve boarded at our doggie daycare before and he didn't do very well. So heading into this boarding experience, we were nervous to leave but Lola made the experience so much less stressful! We felt comfortable leaving him with her from the start! We also got pictures and videos through the boarding experience and Franklin looked like he was having the best time! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy 💙”
“I knew from our first meeting that Nathan and Jackie were the right choice to take care of my Sophie for the 2 weeks I would be in Japan. And I was right. They sent daily pictures/videos of: Sophie playing with their dogs Reilly and Bailey; the kids walking, holding, and loving on Sophie; and photos of some well-deserved chill time. We had excellent communication for the duration of Sophie’s stay with them. Nathan contacted me about a week into her stay to report an issue that he felt needed reviewed by her vet. I agreed and Nathan made the appointment, then took her for a vet visit. The vet also agreed with Nathan and gave Sophie 2 prescriptions. Nathan paid for the vet visit and meds himself (since I was not available at the time). For the next week, Nathan and Jackie gave Sophie the meds prescribed and reported back to me how she was doing with her medical issue. I am so thankful for Nathan’s keen observation and proactive stance on Sophie’s health. The vet visit and daily meds were more than they signed up for and they just took care of it all. I will definitely be taking Sophie back for future boardings, and may even have to take her for occasional visits so she can play with the dogs and the kids!”
“Kerstin is absolutely the BEST! Her and her family treated our energetic 20 month old German Shepard like if he was part of their family. She sent us pictures and updates on him every day. She is amazing with pets and has so much patience. We were so happy to find her she gave us such a relief on our 1st time vacation after getting Slinky. Definitely will be taking Slinky to Kerstin in a future. Don’t overthink it she is the BEST!!!”
“She was very good with our little dog and in fact fed him fresh vegetables and gave him bath on the day of departure. We strongly recommend her as a pet sitter:)”
“Merry and Tucker love Cato come to Kayla’s home. They out of the car and head directly for the front door. Merry even had a fury friend for the last visit. They played until exhausted. Great time for our high energy girl. Our old boy was able to get plenty of rest. Kayla always ensures Ricker gets her medication. Both come home happy, and relaxed!! Thank you again Kayla”
“Hailey is amazing!! We are repeat customers and will only use Hailey-she treats our dog like he is part of her family❤️. We are grateful for her care!!”
About: I've watched dogs and cats of friends, family and strangers on and off for the past 10 years. I have experienced with small to XL dogs, young and older! I’m a stay at home mom. Our boys are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time, a couple days a week. I have a fenced yard and two boys that are ready to play. They have unlimited access to the yard, toys and water. We have a cat who is very friendly, but will most likely keep to himself.
“Our flight got delayed and September accomodated our request to hold Lucas past the pickup time. She send nice photos and when picking him, we can feel he was happy and safe.”
“Emily and her family were really nice to my cat! She send me updates/pictures throughout the day and answered quickly. Emily had a lot of toys for cats and Suki loved them. Will definitely recommend her and will use her service again in the near future!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life growing up to adulthood. I currently have a 2 cats - Benny & Banks and a Cane Corso - Bentley! I love animals and caring for them and spoiling them when I have extra ones. I’m a trustworthy person and looking to help out those in my community with great care for your pets while you’re away I currently have a pretty open schedule for the most part for all days of the week. I am a property manager in Peoria and mostly work virtual except for the times I have to maintenance the properties. I am free most mornings, evenings, and nights. I have a fenced backyard and my gentle giant Bentley to keep your furry ones occupied while you’re away! We crate our dog when we are out. They will get plenty of love snuggles and treats in our home. I’m also a very trust worthy person with a clean record for someone to trust in your home while you’re away.
“Faith did an excellent job taking care of my two dogs! She gave frequent updates and provided many pictures of them having a fun time. She offered some job observations of their behaviors and provided constructive recommendations. I plan on utilizing her again for dog sitting services.”
“Rachelle is such a great sitter, Our pup Layla loves staying over and getting play time with Rizzo. Layla is a high energy pup and Rachelle is great with her. Rachelle is so nice and goes above and beyond to work with us when we are scheduling and constantly keeps us up to date with how the visit is going while we are away. I highly recommend Rachelle and I know our pup looks forward to future visits!”
