“Shadow had a great time staying with Rachael. Rachael sent updates everyday with a lot of photos. She observed what shadow like to do and play. Definitely recommend her to anyone. Great location and Accommodation.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and tailor my approach to each pet’s needs. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with basic training, medication routines, and providing comfort to anxious pups. Your dog will be treated like family! I currently work 15 days out of the month and can check in on your pets whenever it is needed! I usually know what my work schedule is going to be for the whole month in advance. In my home, pets are treated like family—with plenty of love, attention, and a safe, clean environment. I follow their usual routines to keep them comfortable and happy. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and stick to the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, playtime, and walks. Whether it's giving belly rubs, refreshing water bowls, or sending daily updates, I make sure each pet feels secure and cared for.


About: I've had at least one dog since I was 15, but I really started caring for them well at about 20. I feel that dogs just seem to be happier then most humans. Caring for and training dogs is what makes me a happy human. Im currently only working Rover and caring for my own pups. We have a pretty regular and smooth schedule, with lots of outside and personal time. Walk at least once a day if not twice. The house is a off the beaten path farm house with a fenced yard and nobody to bother. Two in-house dogs that sleep more then they acknowledge the existence of anything, very calm and collected. Schedules of any kind, be it- food, meds, and potty, are easily maintained and appreciated so we know they're stay is as close to home as possible for easy transitions.

About: I am detail oriented and love schedules. I am punctual and will send updates and photos to your specifications. Whether your babies need crated or cuddled, I am the one for the job. I am currently not working so I am available most days and weekends. I have 2 friendly dogs that love to walk and play as well. I have a fenced in yard, lots of space for the animals to roam around freely. My dogs are both friendly and happy to meet new friends.

“Was awesome! Sent me dog pics almost every day. She has a nice home with a great environment for the dogs. Was very flexible about me picking up the dogs when work kept me late last minute.”


“Breonna was a great sitter for my dog, Hank, who can be a handful sometimes. She was willing to meet me beforehand to make sure that it was a good match, and she sent pictures and a video while I was away so that I knew Hank was doing well. Not everyone can manage a rambunctious Treeing Walker Coonhound, but Breonna did extremely well, on top of offering an affordable price. If I have to go away again, I will definitely be contacting her. Highly recommend.”


About: I cared for 2 of my own dogs their entire lives. Puppies to elderly. I miss them so much. Now I have the time to help care for other fur babies who need it. I’m available all through the day or night. Local to Wheeling, right off Washington Ave. My yard is fenced in & I live right behind Pleasanton ball field/dogpark/playground for extra fun walks. I have a whole bedroom dedicated to boarding pets so no small crating is needed. It works out well. Would love to watch your pets for you. In your home or mine. I love all animals. I have a fenced in yard. Also live directly behind a playground & ball field for plenty of activity. Iv lived all my life with pets. Excited to help care for yours. I do prefer pet sitting at the pets home. I can however have pets in my home no problem. I can pick up & deliver as well. Short trips or long stays. All options open.😊

“I was very nervous leaving my boy since he’s never been away from home, but Abigail made me feel very comfortable and I knew he would be in good hands. She’s very qualified and knowledgeable about dogs. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me photos often. We will definitely be using Abigail in the future.”

“Stephanie is an amazing animal care taker! She completely spoiled Kula, my Labrador Mix. Kula made herself at home and comfortable. She stayed in constant contact with video and picture updates. She asked me if Kula was allowed on couches and beds. I agreed to making that exception since we were out and just wanted her happy and not lonely. Kula totally fell in love with Stephanie (as did my 4 year old human. Thank you so very very much Stephanie! I truly recommend her for anyone's first time or any animal you need to be in good care! Will ask Stephanie again to babysit for future dog boarding!”


“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”


“Our family Is so grateful to Joni for taking care of Liberty over thanksgiving holiday long weekend. Our lab can be a handful for someone not used to her antics of stealing food right from under you. I know Liberty was up to her usual tricks but Joni seemed to take it all in stride and even sent us texts & pics with updates which made us feel very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Joni is warm, friendly, kind, trustworthy and easy going -all the qualities you’d want in a dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again. 5 stars!”



“We had a wonderful experience with Dana. We were hesitant to leave our new puppy with anyone, but based off her reviews we felt reasonably comfortable with her. After meeting her, and her dogs, the worries dissolved. She genuinely cares and enjoys her time with the animals. She kept in contact and sent us several updates and photos of Mila. It really helped alleviate the anxiety over leaving her with someone new. We had an overall great experience with Dana and definitely recommend her to anyone. We will be booking her again when we need to board her.”


About: I have had dogs my entire life! Dogs in my care will enjoy my large fenced in yard with my 2 fur babies who love making new friends. Your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time involving fetch, frisbees and sniffing. My fur babies are high energy, however they get plenty of daily exercise that requires lots of napping and snuggles. This makes my home compatible with high energy dogs or senior dogs. You can expect your pet to receive a great deal of attention in a safe environment specific to their needs. Pets visiting should be friendly and crate trained in case of emergencies. All dogs are required to be up to date on all vaccines and must be actively receiving flea/tick MEDICATION prevention. Unfortunately, Pets with signs of fleas will not be welcomed. I am experienced in caring for all ages from puppies to seniors dogs. I am a full time RN but have free time mostly on weekends. My husband and I work opposite shifts so there is always someone home to care for your pet with the exception of an hour when my husband is leaving for work and I am coming. I currently work full time as a nurse. My husband and I work opposite shifts so there is always someone home with the exception of an hour or 2 in the morning when I’m coming home and he’s leaving for work. I have a large fenced in yard that is 75% privacy fence. I do require a meet and greet to ensure the safety of your/my pets. Pet must be up to date on all vaccines. Pets are required to be actively on flea/tick medication. Any sign of fleas will result in pet being declined for services.

“Bradley did such a great job of taking care of my kitty for the weekend! She makes sure she has all the information she needs beforehand. My cat has medical issues and requires special care and it didn't phase her. I would choose her to take care of my kitty again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
