“Brigit was excellent. Went out of her way to come meet my dogs first before the in house sitting. She was on time and took great care of my boys. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. One of my dogs had just dislocated his shoulder too and and I felt even more comfortable knowing with her experience and current schooling my boy would be in good hands and she would know what to do if an emergency came up.”
“Juan did a great job with our boy. We got updates and pictures and he was very responsive to any messages we sent while we were away. Took great care of the house as well!”
“Kira did a great job sitting for Simba for 2 weeks. She sent me pictures and facetime every other day. I would definitely book her again. Simba took to her quite well.”
“We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Lea. From the moment she stepped into our home, we knew our dogs were in caring and capable hands. Our energetic puppy and sweet older dog both instantly took to her, and it was clear they felt safe, loved, and genuinely happy in her care. Lea didn’t just meet our expectations — she far exceeded them. Her communication was thoughtful and consistent, keeping us updated with messages and photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we came home to a house that was even cleaner than we left it, which speaks volumes about her attention to detail and respect for our space. She stepped in during a last-minute situation and handled everything with such calm, kindness, and professionalism. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and compassionate, and we are beyond grateful. I truly couldn’t recommend a better person to care for both your pets and your home.”
“Alexus was so sensitive to our nervous pup, Rusty’s needs! He’s new to us and was anxious about us going out; he apparently was jumping up thinking we were home every time the heat came on, so she turned down the temperature so he could be more relaxed. Thank you so much, Alexis!”
“Geneva took wonderful care of my dog Zelee and was very attentive to her needs. I appreciated her sending me lots of photos, videos, and updates of Zelee during her stay with her! I would recommend her services and trust her to watch Zelee again in the future.”
“Skyler helped us out last night and she was great. Our pups and house were take good care of. She was also great with communication and we will definitely ask her to stay again!”
“Hoss is amazing!!! They were available on unreasonably short notice when the original sitter I had booked randomly disappeared. Our dogs were obsessed with Hoss from the first moment, and I have no doubt our precious ones felt safe and cared for the entire time. On top of looking after two finicky pups (one is elderly and requires medication, one is shy and stubborn, and they are both bratty), they took great care of our home and made sure to send us updates, even going out of their way to hand feed our little girl her kibbles when she went on hunger strike because of our absence. Hoss is attentive and understanding, a true animal lover. And to top it all off they have a great personality, radiating kindness and fun energy. We would be lucky to have them sit for us again. 10/10 highly recommend.”
“We had a last minute trip during a difficult time, and Aarti really set my mind at ease from our first meeting to coming home to happy, healthy pets and a clean home. Our husky is a bit difficult and definitely gets upset when we leave him, but Aarti made friends with him and even managed to brush him! We would not hesitate to book her again!”
“Max was amazing! He gave us constant updates, didn’t leave our dogs for long periods of time which was our biggest request and he left our house spotless. He is professional, kind, and trustworthy. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dogs were in good hands.”
About: I grew up with dogs, and like them more than a regular amount. Because it shows, I am my family's and friends' dogsitter of choice. They know their dogs will be more than sufficiently cared for. My services have been in enough demand for me to be flown out to dogsit twice. I do not have any pets of my own. I have been watching a high-needs puppy over the weekends. We are trying to get him housetrained and crate trained so we can leave him home by himself when he is older. The care I provide depends on your and your pets' specific needs. Tell me what to do and I will do it. I will also do light housekeeping upon request.
“Luca was amazing! We had a last minute trip and he was incredibly responsive and was able to meet up for a meet and greet very quickly. He took amazing care of our pup and our home for a few days while we were out of town. He sent frequent updates and pictures and overall was very communicative. Our dog was happy and our house was cleaner than we left it! 15/10, we will absolutely be using Luca again in the future and I recommend you do too!”
“Jackson did a terrific job sitting with my dog while I was on a two week road trip. I came back to find Shakti healthy and happy, and my house in great shape. I would not hesitate to recommend Jackson!”
“Rose is the best! My super shy kitty who normally hides the entire time I’m gone is comfortable enough around Rose that she not only comes out of hiding but plays! cat owners of shy kitties will know how big of a deal this is 😍”
“This is the second time we've used Tessa. Just like like last time, when we arrived back home, our dogs we happy, and our house was clean. We recommend Tessa!”
“Sheri was fantastic with the animals! And a considerate house guest as well. She left the cats purring and our Roxy dog wagging her tail. She made frequent contact and updates, including great photos. All the pets were happy and healthy when we returned home. If you're a pet owner - you know the value of that - priceless! Thank you for a wonderful experience Sheri!”
“Monique did a great job in watching Bear. She sent pictures and told me about their activities during the day. I didn’t have to worry about him and could enjoy my trip.”
“Jamie and Patrick did a great job caring for our pets during our 10 day trip! They sent regular updates, took our dog for walks, and took care of all our pets needs so that we could relax and not worry at all during our vacation! We definitely plan to use them again!”

Seven took great care of my two Siberian Huskies and my home. From the moment I met Seven he was very kind and laughed easily, so I felt very comfortable leaving my pups and home in his care while I went on a Valentines gettaway with my family. He was very patient when I was still packing after he arrived. He took my dogs for walks, one at a time, even when it was raining. My home was clean when I got home and the dishwasher was emptied. I loved the pics he sent too! One of my dogs usually howls a lot when I let them in from outside, but he was pretty quiet. Which let me know he was content and had spent time with Seven. Thank you very much!! I would hire Seven again, and recommend him. He's a wonderful pet sitter!
Sheri took great care of Simba while we were away, she ensured to ask questions as needed to provide him with the care he needed. She sent regular updates including pictures during her stay. She left the place tidy and clean which was so nice to come home to. Thank you Sheri!
Hossanna took great care of our dog and cat! She sent photos and checked in with us. She stayed overnight with them and we felt so much better knowing she was looking after them and they weren’t lonely. She gave medications to our dog, and must’ve done a great job because he is happy and healthy upon our return! Even our cat who is usually shy, made friends with Hossanna.
Kirsten was great with my dog and cat! I had a slightly last minute 4 day trip and she was able to still come over for a meet and greet beforehand and then watch my fur babies for those few days. Kristen stayed overnight and walked my dog during the day which he absolutely loved. She provided great updates and pictures while watching them. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be planning on reaching out when needed in the future!
Madelynne was very good with our cats and senior dogs. We aren't always comfortable leaving them with sitters as they've gotten older. She had to deal with a small medical emergency with one of our senior dogs, and administer medicine. She did great. All dogs and cats were comfortable and happy when we got home, and the house was tidy. Would definitely book again, and recommend booking with her. Thanks, Madelynne!
From all signs Abrianna worked magic with our Taitie. He can be very independent but also very loving. When Abri came for our meet-and-greet, Taitie warmed up to her immediately, which is not his usual reaction. We were reassured by that interaction, as we were by the pictures and video she texted us while away, that he was with someone who genuinely cared about him. Clearly, Taitie was reassured as well. A win-win!
A dedicated, trustworthy sitter. Daniel went the extra mile in so many regards for us yet again, we wouldn't have anyone else. Our 2025 Christmas trip ended in a twelve hour delay through Ohare International. Daniel was gracious and accommodated us through that delay, kept us updated, and stayed flexible as weather and other unforeseen issues kept cropping up late into the night. Arriving home at 4am to well cared for dogs and hotel level preparations + cleaning was amazing. It isn't the first time Daniel has left the place better than he found it; it's an extraordinary level of care for a home. The most important thing is the care he gives our pups. It's easy to see that they've had the company they needed. They're not in a panic and they're properly fed. We have three fifty pound females that are a handful. They don't like to eat when we're gone, and they have resource guarding problems that Daniel has always managed extremely well. This time was no exception. We got daily pictures and updates and the ladies ate every day which is no small feat. I'm sure we're going to still be finding the above-and-beyond things he did for us for the next several days. Laundered linens, bonus snacks, and pressure-washed patio pavement (just cause he likes doing it!) are the tip of the iceberg. We're so grateful to have managed to book him in time for this trip, holiday travel is stressful enough and not having to worry about our ladies or home is the biggest relief. Thank you Daniel!
Melissa saved the day for us. She accepted a last minute booking over the holidays when our plans abruptly changed. She took excellent care of our elderly dog with health problems and our second anxious dog . She left the house clean and her communication was exceptional. She understood our dogs’ needs and worked with them. Highly recommend!
Talia house sat for me right before the Thanksgiving holiday. I reached out relatively late and Talia got back to me really quickly and set up a meet a greet. My pup seemed happy when I got home and the house was in great condition. Talia even cleaned up when my neighbor dog broke in an tipped over a plant! 🙃 Grateful!
