SAFETY and FUN is our Motto! :)

Pet care experience

When your pup stays with us, they will believe they are on a dog-cation! I have been around dogs all of my life & have grown to have such a big heart because of them. I currently have a rescue Pitbull/Weimaraner mix named Lola, so it is safe to say that I am able to care for large breeds. I have a lot of patience & have even trained Lola to "sit, stay, come, lay, play dead, roll over & fetch!" From experience, I know how to administer medication if needed. I also have experience working at dog daycare centers & volunteering at animal shelters. I truly love animals & hope to meet your pup! My partner in crime, Eric, also has loads of experience with animals. His mother owns a doggy daycare Aurora, Illinois & he is in charge of playing & having fun with all of the four-legged friends! :) Eric currently works part-time & is at home during the day & is able to provide your fur baby with extra love & attention while I am at work. You would be happy to know that my work hours are very flexible! I am currently working full-time; however, I make my own schedule & can modify it if requested in advance. I can also work from home & would be willing to do so to meet your needs. If you are okay with your pup staying home while I am at work then he/she will still be taken care of by Eric. The house that we live in has a fenced yard. My dog, Lola, loves playing in the yard with Belthazor. Although Lola can play with your pup she also knows her boundaries & understands when others want to be left alone. I also have a nearby dog park where I often take Lola and Belthazor for long walks.

Julia and Erica always provide the best service. I rebooked them again and they provided great updates and gave our cats amazing attention. They were also able to give our senior cat his medication. I will definitely book with them again.

Julia and Eric took great care of our dogs and cat while we were away, sending us adorable pictures and videos of them often. It was so nice to see how well taken care of they were, and to be able to see them so frequently while we were away missing them!

After discovering and using Rover for the first time last year, my wife and I were very happy to be able to book our pets to stay with Julia and Eric C *again* during a weeklong getaway for my birthday last week. Julia and Eric were excellent caretakers of our dog and cat when we hired them last year, so we thought of them immediately when we needed a sitter - and were reluctant to book with anyone else! - although I'm sure there are other great sitters on the Rover app. Julia and Eric provided a great environment and showed a genuine love and concern for our pets. Courteous and professional too, they kept us informed with just the right amount of updates and videos during our getaway, which was very nice, and were right on time with picking them up and delivering them when we got back to town. Couldn't ask for a better sitter experience, 2 years in a row! We will definitely continue to use the Rover platform and book with Julia and Eric for their excellent care and service!

My husband and I have been using Rover for a few years now and have found wonderful pet sitters. However Julia and Eric truly go above and beyond! They took wonderful care of our older dogs while we were away, and sent the best photos and videos. I’ve never felt so at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Thank you Julia and Eric, we’ll for sure rebook in the future!

Information Julia & Eric S. would like to know about your pet

Is your fur baby friendly? Does she prefer to be alone or get attention and be active? Should I be aware of any special allergies, triggers, special diet, etc.?

A typical day

A lot of times during the weekend I go on hikes & I love taking Lola with me because she is great company! So, if your dog is more on the energetic side, I could definitely take them hiking to have some fun! I also let my dogs out in my fenced yard to let off some steam. During the holidays I love dressing up & taking adorable pictures with my pup! If this is something you are interested in receiving during your dog's stay - feel free to ask! :)
