“I’m a first-time puppy owner who felt very anxious and guilty about leaving my little guy with a boarder. Cheyanne’s calm presence, timely replies, and photo and video updates helped me overcome my feelings. The puppy seems to have liked being in the company of Cheyanne and her dogs. Previous positive reviews are accurate. I recommend her! Thank you, Cheyanne.”

“Ania watched our dog Elliot for a weekend. During this time she was communicative and provided us with lots of pictures! He got comfortable fast with her and came back to us a happy dog!”


“Bernie’s hosts were wonderful, especially in the unflustered and caring way they dealt with a transportation crisis my wife and I had. They made me feel like they would have happily made extra room in their family for another week as cooly as they did for an extra day. Bernie is an untroubled, self-confident old girl who enjoys human and canine company, and this was a great environment for her with very nice dog-loving people.”

“Jenna went above and beyond for Doris. She was super communicative and sent plenty of updates. I was elated knowing Doris was in good hands. I couldn’t recommend Jenna enough.”


“Ashley was great! Super fast response to messages. She sent us updates and Waski pictures often. Waski had a great time playing at parks, walking, and lounging on the deck.”

“Hoon was great with Eva, took great care of her, sent lots of photos and updates on time, and was super communicative. I'd totally recommend him, no problems at all.”

“Buddy loves going to stay with Ann! The peace of mind we have dropping Buddy off with Ann is amazing. So much better than a normal boarding experience.”

“Mia has been wonderful. She is reliable, kind, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she works with. Her communication is excellent; she keeps us updated, responds quickly, and sends thoughtful notes, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. We also really appreciate the level of care she provides. She is attentive to our dog’s needs, patient, and responsible, and it’s clear our dog feels comfortable and happy with her. Mia goes above and beyond by being punctual, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in making sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and positive. We’re very grateful to have found her.”

“Andrea was consistently communicative throughout my dog’s stay - I felt comfortable going out of town because she kept my dog safe and happy! Not only did Andrea accept my last minute boarding request but she made sure to clarify any questions to ensure that my dog was well taken care of. I would book her again!”

“Anni did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies! She was responsive, asked questions, and kept us updated while we were away on our vacation. It was a first time boarding our pets and Anni did a great job easing any concerns we had. Our pets were at ease with her and felt very at home in her space. Would definitely recommend!”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Jess was so well looked after and it was clear she was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love and attention. The photos and updates throughout her stay were great and gave me reassurance she was ok. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to book Steven again.”

“Bola did a great job with Hendricks. She is very pleasant. He was comfortable and had no issues with the stay…. will definitely book again. I’m working with her on training my other dog as well. Thank you!”

“Ann-Marie is great! She is so sweet with Luka and sends great photos and updates. Our second booking with her and we plan to book her going forward every time!”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 25 years - from puppyhood through their senior days. My last dog passed away late last year, and now we’re looking forward to taking care of other people’s dogs! My wife and are retired and on the days we accept reservations will have plenty of time to take your dog on long walks and play! We have a single-floor apartment in the South Loop, We can accommodate a crate if your dog uses one. We will always follow your guidance on how much or little your dog prefers to interact with other dogs and people.
“Ksenia took great care of Lola while we were on vacation! This was our second time working with her and she provided updates and gave Lola the care and attention she needed. Thanks so much, Ksenia!”

“Daphnay was wonderful. I was really scared to leave my baby with a stranger and Daphnay put me at ease. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”

“Sam took great care of my boy Kimi when I was out of town. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and videos! She made sure Kimi stayed warm when snow storm hit and made Kimi felt like being at home. Would definitely choose Sam again if I need a sitter in the future!”

“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”

“My senior pup couldn’t board because she gets anxious in a kennel. We were visiting NYC and wanted her to be around dogs for a night or 2 while we explored nightlife. Andre and Gabriel were available last min and took amazing care of my old girl! She was so comfy at their apartment. I HIGHLY recommend them both for any type of boarding. And they are both the sweetest!”

Anna was absolutely amazing. She takes such great care of my dogs and Jazz and Sage absolutely love her. If I could give her 10+ stars I would. I love how attentive and communicative she is with updates and pictures. I would 1000% recommend her if you want someone that is going to give your dog the love they receive at home! Thank you so much again.

My Archie had the best time with Emisa! I needed help last minute when another sitter canceled, and Emisa was responsive and SO flexible, making it easy for me to pick up and drop off at the times that worked for me. She shared some of her dog’s food when I accidentally didn’t send enough. She took him on long walks and sent updates every day. Her dog Zeus is sweet and gentle as well. Between Emisa and her husband, Archie got lots of attentive care for his stay. He didn’t even seem that excited to see me when I got back! I would highly recommend booking with Emisa!

We had the best experience! They were incredibly experienced and took amazing care of Siru, even giving him a bath and taking him for walks on the grass every day. Their apartment and location are perfect for dogs—Siru honestly looked happier there than at home! 😂 They sent thoughtful photos every day, so I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying at all. I would absolutely trust them with Siru again! ❤️

Dora went above and beyond for Fibi! She and Ben took great care of Fibi and I felt extremely comforted knowing Fibi was in great hands. They took her on multiple walks and the dog park throughout the day and they were great at communicating and sending updates and photos. Fibi is normally very shy and takes some time to warm up to people but she was immediately comfortable with Dora and Ben! Would highly recommend!

Michelle took good care of Meeko over the period of a week! She gave him lots of exercise through walks which he loves and was really attuned to his needs like when he was scared or uncomfortable. She also reached out to ask questions and shared updates on how he was doing. Michelle is also punctual and accommodating which we really appreciate! I'm sure Meeko is looking forward to longs walks with her again in the future!

I cannot Thank the family enough ❤️🐶 I was really nervous, as I left my 6 month old puppy the first time for 5 nights with a sitter. The family did such an amazing job in taking care of Lottie, shared regular updates and pictures and made sure that I felt comfortable. Lottie loved her stay!! And I will definitely bring her back 😊

Sarah was an amazing dog sitter! She took care of Moose for an extended period while I was traveling, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She took wonderful care of her and sent me lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a very happy and well-cared-for Moose. I highly recommend Sarah and would absolutely use her again!

Julie was very communicative and helpful leading up to Pluto’s stay, which I really appreciated! I would have loved a few more proactive updates throughout the stay, but she responded quickly and shared photos and videos whenever I requested. Overall Pluto seemed comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I’d definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Julie again!
