Pet care experience

Booking with us, you'll be helping us donate to the Humane Society of the United States 🐶 3% of ALL of our paychecks from ROVER go directly to the Humane Society bc we not only want to help your fur baby, but ALL fur babies around the world. Especially ones without a home. Hi 😊 we are, Esther (@mrs.esther.kim) and Jedidiah Kim (@jeddy.jpeg) we work for The University of Illinois and Carle Hospital full time and enjoy meeting new fur friends part time. We have 2 fur babies, Puppy @puppy.kim and a corgi named, Jubilee @thejubilantcorgi. Puppy is our 4-year-old Shih Tzu who loves company from all animals and humans. He’s friendly, playful and loves every dog he meets. He's also becoming very chill as he gets older as well. Jubilee is our 3-year-old Corgi who is very energetic, loves to play with others, and can run around for hours! And we have over 10 years of experience when it comes to pet care. We are friendly, responsible, attentive, reliable, accommodating and will do everything in our power to ensure that your pet has a fun, safe time while you are away. In addition, we have years of experience training puppies with potty training, crate training, and teaching basic commands ie) sit, stay, speak, down, etc. Esther also has experience in taking care of beautiful Cats. Jedidiah, unfortunately is allergic. Therefore, when it comes to Cat services, Esther will be communicating with the sitter, and will not be allowing boarding services. No matter what kind of services you are looking for, we can guarantee that your fur-child will spend their day(s) enjoying supervised play at a local fenced in, safe dog park or anywhere you prefer. We’ll make sure your fur-child feels welcomed, comfortable, loved, and safe even when you can’t be with them. We are easy to reach and fast to respond, we look forward to hearing from you soon :) COVID-19*** Jedidiah and Esther are both vaccinated and complete weekly COVID-19 tests. In regards to house sitting services, we are allowing them, however we will not be offering to sleep in our client's home's over night to ensure full safety of the pandemic for all parties. For further questions/clarifications, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are trying to do our due diligence to actively minimize the spread of the virus and we appreciate your understanding and willingness to also contribute as well. All meetings will be done with 6 feet distancing and face coverings appropriately on when meeting with the owners :)

Esther and Jed were amazing with our 5 month old puppy while we took a short vacation. We got daily picture updates and Esther even made frozen kongs for him since he was teething. It was obvious that our pup had a amazing time with Esther, Jed and especially their adorable pups Jubilee and Puppy. We Know our pup will be in amazing care while we take a longer vacation later in the summer.

Esther took wonderful care of my pup, Olive. I was gone for 10 days and I received several pictures of and updates for Olive. They do have two other dogs but Olive got along with them. Both of their dogs are sweethearts. Highly recommend Esther!!

Esther and JD watched my two dogs for a long weekend and did a great job. Esther sent many updates including pictures throughout her time with my boys so I knew they were happy and well taken care of. I loved the peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and safe in their own home while I was traveling.

Esther is a lovely human being. She took care of my cat and dog several times and they loved her company. I'm so glad that she's the one who babysits for my pets when I'm away from home. She's detail-oriented, thoughtful, and sweet. 100% recommend her to be your pet's caretaker.
