“Very happy with Lisette. She responded very quickly and always sent an update everyday with a picture. I will definitely use her in the future! Thanks Lisette for taking good care of my Chewie!”
“EK was great and really made sure my Lavish was cared for and stayed active. She sent me check in pictures and I could tell by the photos he was happy, even away from me. I was relieved to know i found lavish a great sitter while my place gets renovated. Thank you so much”
“This was Chase's second time with Ashley and it was just as good as the first! She is very attentive and sends plenty of pictures. She put a medicated foam in his itchy spots twice per day. And chase got plenty of play time and attention. Highly recommend booking with Ashley!”
“Nate was so great with our pup, Nala. Nala gets bad separation anxiety and Nate (and Stella) was a great match for her. Nate gave us many updates, which not only eased our minds, but Nala looked so happy and peaceful! Will book again and know she is well taken care of.”
“Kyla is and was so amazing with my fur baby. For one, I was terrified because Eden has IVDD ( nerve condition that caused him to lose the functionality in his back legs) and I was like who is going to watch or even change a diaper on a dog. I have never seen anyone to attentive to my baby as if he were her baby. I’m so grateful to have found her and I will be a repeat client. Thank you again Kyla!!”
“Andrea was fantastic! She took care of my German shepherd, on short notice... I'm so grateful.. She was kind, accommodating and communicative. I will definitely utilize her services again! 🤍”
About: I’ve had my own pets and taken care of others’ pets for decades. I love playing with cats, taking walks with dogs, throwing the ball, and I’m a big-time cuddler. I work from home on my own technology business and I’m available 24 hours a day all over Chicago. I’m also fine with short notice. We have a fantastic gated park across the street that we love taking puppies to. Inside our house there are a dozen different places for dogs and cats to rest. Drop-off and pick-up are easy here, too, as we have a door right onto the street.
“Tamara has been great! I had to make a last minute change in my stay and she was very accommodating. My pup is smiling and happy in all the pics she sends. I would book again!”
“Sue is awesome!! We’ve left our pups with her a couple times now for vacation and they’ve had a blast playing with her two dogs and other friends! She’s great with our pup, Jax, who is on seizure meds and cannot miss a dose. Sue is super attentive, communicative, and sends great photos. We love her and our pups do too!”
“Kamiah & Casius were great with my fur baby. It was my first time using a service like this and I was so nervous. Kamiah was understanding of my nerves answered all my questions. She sent daily photos and videos. She was understandable with my travel delays and when I picked my dog up she was smiling and continued to do so for the rest of the evening. There were no stress signals or behaviors from my dog and she was right back into her routine at home. Thank you for taking such great care of Macci!! Will definitely use again”
“Katie was very caring and did a great job with our pup! He really enjoyed his stay! She was very attentive and made sure he had everything he needed.”
“Marieclaire is so amazing with Kylo. She provides regular updates of him which always puts me at ease while I’m away. She also genuinely seems to care about Kylo and I can tell because he’s always so excited to see her!”
“Monica and Calvin are great! They took our one year old French bulldog for 8 days. They were great about communicating with us the entire trip. They sent updates and photos everyday explaining what she was doing and how she was eating and sleeping. After a bad experience boarding our dog in the past we felt so comfortable with them and will definitely continue to book with them in the future!”
“Lydia was a fav from my dog and I! She made sure to keep me updated throughout the day with how my dog was doing. Due to my dog having separation anxiety, I was hesitant to leave her. But Lydia was very understanding and she understood what methods to use to help my dog acclimate better to her home. I absolutely recommend her for her effective communication with me and my dog.”
“Omar and his partner were awesome! They were super quick to respond, and they took amazing care of Eva. Eva had a blast with their dog, so we'll totally book them again.”
“Angel has been nothing but incredible. I have brought my dog to him 3 times now and every time it is a smooth drop off/pick-up process. He treats my dog incredibly well and will continue to use Angel moving forward.”
“Lucas was attentive to my dog’s walks and feeding. My dog seemed to feel safe and comfortable with him. He was responsive to communications and flexible when my travel plans changed. He sent cute pictures of my dog periodically which helped me feel at ease. I felt safe having Lucas stay in my house while I was gone and take care of everything. He brought several packages inside, watered my plants, and was a good neighbor to my building-mates. Lucas helped me out with a last-‘minute dog sitting need and I really appreciated it!”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“Andrew is a great dog sitter! He took care of my cattle dog mix for a long weekend and provided me with updates on how my dog was settling in and photos of walks and play time, which I appreciated. I have no doubt my dog was well cared for. I would definitely book with Andrew again.”

This was a fantastic experience! Trey responded very quickly to my messages and was friendly and professional. He was waiting to take and drop off our dog, Carl, exactly when and where we had planned, and he sent photos of Carl so that we knew he was happy and well-cared for. Thank you, Trey!
Phoeying was the best! She was able to accommodate me last minute and took the best care of my girl Luna. She was kind and cared for Luna like it was her own dog. She sent me pictures and updates everyday she was caring for my dog. 100% would book with her again and recommend her services!

Emily did a great job taking care of my high-energy puppy Winston. Winston met her toddler son and enjoyed playing with them. I have many photo and texted updates from her and she was extremely flexible and caring with Winston. She even offered Winston a stuff animal toy to take with. Of course I declined because I want it to stay at her place so Winston can play with it there in the future. She is very friendly and very responsive to questions or requests. 5 stars easily!
I left my puppy, Snoopy, with Rafael for 8 days and I was really worried since it was my first time leaving him for so long, but everything went great! Rafael took him on several walks throughout the day, sent me pictures and videos, facetimed, and even helped train him on impulse control! I highly recommend and I appreciate all the care and work he put into making my dog feel as comfortable as possible while I was away
Kyla is my go to girl when I’m in need of dog cars! I had a last minute change to my reservation and she was able to accommodate me and bane. She is extremely professional, sends me daily updates and makes sure Bane has all of his needs met! I truly appreciate her and couldn’t recommend her enough!
Aubry was the perfect sitter for our dog, Bourdain, as they bonded instantly upon meeting! During his stay Aubry provided timely updates, photos and communication on how he was doing multiple times a day. She was flexible with our last minute travel schedule to make sure we could make the most of our time away. We look forward to booking with Aubry again in the future.
Alison is the only dog sitter we use. Leo is always thrilled to see her, and I have zero worries when we travel. She’s reliable, sends great updates, and Leo feels completely at home with her. I had never used a dog sitter before, but after finding Alison, she’s our first choice over even friends and family. Could not recommend her more!
Couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Kristi! Kristi certainly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of, and to ensure I was at ease, kept me up to date on whatever was going on with him with pictures and videos. Not only did she take care of my dog, she went the extra mile to take him on long walks and play dates which I immensely appreciated. I even told her that she was spoiling my doggo.. lol If you're in need to a truly kind and caring sitter that you can count on, look no further, Kristi is the one!
