Pet care experience

The best love for your best friend.

We’ve provided care for both our own and others' pets since we were children. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted us to feed, water, play with, walk, and board their pets when they travel. Having lived both in the country and in town, we have both loved and cared for our own and others' cats and dogs for several years in several environments.

If you need a sitter to be on time, you may have to stress the importance, like a pet who needs medicine at a certain hour. Luckily my dog is not on meds, when Grant was 20 min late almost every morning, and the last day an hour and 20 min late. However he did take good care of my dog.

House Sitting • Oct 04, 2025

Annika & Grant did a great job house sitting our senior dog. They took the time to learn about his special needs. They checked in regularly and made him feel really comfortable.

Annika is so wonderful! I could not have asked for better care for my girl. I’m so thankful for her help and I know Wink was happy to see her everyday!

Safety, trust & environment

My husband and I live in a three bedroom house in Carol Stream, just outside Wheaton. We have a large yard with a 3-sided fence in which pets would be very safe with proper supervision. Pets would be welcome to lay and sleep wherever they are most comfortable - on our furniture, in one of our two beds, or in their own beds or crates. We are animal lovers and have had our own animals in our home. We have welcomed many a new pet into our home, so your pet would receive our love and care while staying at our home.

Pets

A typical day

Wheaton has great parks and trails. We love being outside so we am happy to take your dog out and about. We live near Northside park, which has great trails to keep your dog stimulated and exercised.
