“Joanna was great with our puppy! She gave her lots of walks, playtime, and kept great company. We had lots of updates with pictures and video to know how our dog was doing, and we were always able to reach out to her. Highly recommended!”
“This is the second time Sarah has pet sat for us, and both times she took great care of our dog and our cat, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Coleen is the best sitter in the business. She always gives us the peace of mind we need to enjoy our time away, and has never once let us down. She handles all our pets medications with ease. She takes such great care of our ederly pup, as well as our skiddish cat. Do yourself the favor and book Coleen.”
“This was my 1st time leaving my dog for a long weekend and I couldn’t have chosen a better caregiver for him. My Murphy is a rescue & has some anxiety issues but Jo handled him with patience, understanding and love. She tapped in to her knowledge of dogs and put both myself & Murphy at ease. She tried a few new toys/treats with him which he loved and sent me plenty of pics and videos of Murphy throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”
“Tanisa was very communicative and kept us updated and sent lots of pics, which was especially appreciated when one of our dogs was more nervous than usual while we were gone.”
“Loren made our first experience with Rover a great one! She was punctual, responsive, and very respectful throughout the entire stay. We really appreciated the photo updates during house sitting, and she took such wonderful care of Odie. We’re so glad we booked with her—thank you so much, Loren! Hope to see you again soon!”
About: Hi! My name is heather and I am a total dog and cat lover! No matter the breed, age or quirky personalities I love them all. I used to volunteer at a shelter in Iowa where I spent most of my time keeping the immuno-compromised cats and dogs company as they had to be isolated from the others in the shelter. Since then, I’ve trained my own dogs to be potty trained outside and be comfortable riding in cars. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. The longest I’ve cat sat was for 10 days and left a personal “journal” for the owners from the cats point of view. The longest I’ve dog sat was 7 days. I love walking dogs, The longer the walk the better so when mom and dad come home they are ready for all the cuddles. I'm bubbly and have been told I'm "high energy" so I love to play with animals but also know when it's time to just relax and be couch potatoes while watching Animal Planet. I've taken care of special needs dogs who are leash aggressive, I've worked with senior dogs who move a little more leisurely and I've worked with puppies - helping them get acclimated to walking with a leash and harness. I’m working full time as a physical therapist but am available to care for your loved furry friend Wednesdays and Fridays after 2:30. I am available Sundays after 1pm. I have a fenced back yard and my little guy loves to run around and chase leaves. Loves to sniff every twig. For my past clients I take their dogs for long walks in their neighborhood, sometimes run with them on lease if they have a ton of energy. I have the animal earn my trust first, put my hands out to sniff, allow them to approach me as I am a guest in their home. I love to lay on the floor with them, let them know I am a trusted friend.
“Stephanie is truly exceptional. This was our first time entrusting all four of our pets and our home to someone else, and she exceeded every expectation. From the very first interaction through the entire stay, she was consistently available, highly responsive, and incredibly thorough with her updates. What impressed us most was how quickly our pets felt at ease—something that speaks volumes about her care, attention, and natural connection with animals. She earned not only their trust, but ours as well. Stephanie delivers a level of professionalism and peace of mind that is simply outstanding. We cannot recommend her highly enough, and we will absolutely check her availability before planning any future trips.”
“Hanna was wonderful! She was responsive and took great care of our senior dog, including giving her medication on time and bring super patient on her slow walks. She stayed in our home and left everything even better than when we left. We would definitely use her again!”
“Diane is incredibly thoughtful, conscientious, and kind. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats that all have particular needs, and she took the time to learn about navigating these "waters" with such consideration and professionalism. She exudes positive energy and prioritizes creating a trusting relationship with each of them, and the humans. She keeps us informed leading up to her stay, during her time with them, and after leaving. We are so grateful to work with Diane, and having our little fuzzy monsters in her care is a such a relief when we are away from home!”
“Emma took such great care of our Bertie girl! We got updates, pictures and videos during our vacation, and our doggy was so well taken care of while we were away. Thank you Emma!”
“Liz was great, she was really good with communication and photos. My dogs were calm and in good spirits when I got home, and the house looked great. I’d highly recommend Liz as a Dogsitter.”
“Dylan was amazing with our Dobermans Storm and Damen!!! He stayed with them in our home and not only was he great with them and they loved him. Thank you and we will definitely be reaching out to Dylan again!!!”
“Camille is the best! She’s dog sat for our senior dog Rex a few times and it’s always good to know he’s well taken care of. She made him homemade treats, sends daily updates and photos and goes out of her way to be accommodating about drop off/pick up times. Would definitely recommend Camille if you’re looking for a caring , easygoing person to care for your dog!”
About: Hi! I’m Sasha — a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked in doggy daycares as a handler, bather, and walker, and I’m Pet CPR & First Aid Certified so your pup’s safety and comfort always come first. I work from home as a designer, which means your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I also have a fenced yard and a cozy, dog-friendly home filled with beds, toys, and space to relax. I have a small dog named Nacho who is my sidekick and keeps me on a consistent routine with regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and play sessions throughout the day. Dogs staying with me are treated like family — they’ll have access to water, comfy spaces to rest, toys, and lots of love. I’m happy to accommodate cuddle bugs too — if your pup enjoys sleeping near people, they’ll fit right in here. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I have 1 small dog that is by my side 24/7 during the week. Caring for your pet will fit into my routine nicely. I work as a designer and always home during the week. I usually let my boy Nacho out to play in the morning at 7am, 8am, 11am, 2pm, and 4pm, 6pm and 9:15pm. I usually keep the dogs with me in my area while I work. They have access water, food, beds and toys. I have a bunch of doggy beds and toys 🧸 all around the house. I also don’t mind the dogs sleeping in bed with me. I love to snuggle with the fur babies.
About: I have experience with many types of animals, including my own. I have volunteered at standard animal shelters and even horse rescues. I have been sitting for a few months now with some wonderful families. Check out my references for more details! Fun Fact: I have also owned cats, dogs, and even a guinea pig. Since I am an online nursing student, I have a completely flexible schedule. You tell me when you need me! I am available weekdays, weekends, and weeknights. I am great with medication management as well as making sure your pet has adequate play time outside their traditional routines. I am also good at following directions on how you want your pet's day to look.
“Megan is an awesome house and animal sitter! She communicated with us the whole time we were gone, sent photos of our cat and dog, and left the house probably cleaner than when we left. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“After moving our very needy German Shepherd from Australia to Chicago and having no local support to care for him, the notion of a 2 week trip back home was impossible. The stress at the idea of leaving our boy with a stranger was enormous, especially since we had never done anything like that before. We left our boy, and our home, in Adams care for 15 days. Upon our return, we found a beautiful clean home and a very happy doggo, who seemed to love his new friend more than us! Adam sent regular photos and text updates as to how things were going which helped greatly relieving our worry while abroad. We are thrilled to have found him, and will very happily use him again soon so we can finally take a holiday and know we're leaving our pup in great hands. Thankyou again Adam!”

Chris is a true gem!!! I fully recommend him to anyone and everyone. Chris watched my 2 cats and dog for our 10 day trip. I received multiple photos every day as well as a daily recap on the happenings of the house. Chris is an excellent communicator and went above and beyond!!!
Veronica was an amazing sitter for my two dogs while the family and I were on a summer vacation. My puppy Shadow is new to me and gets into EVERYTHING. She has to be crated or monitored 24/7. Veronica paid great attention to her and communicated any unavoidable incidents promptly. Upon returning home, Shadow is calmer and more responsive to commands—better now than when I left thanks to Veronica. My special needs pitty had no new scrapes and was able to sleep in bed with her each night making the transition nearly seamless. Veronica administered medication for soft poops/diarrhea that started in BOTH dogs the day before we left and had to complaints making the puppy’s complicated fresh food dinner. We will absolutely be using Veronica in the near future for any sitting walking or boarding needs, we are all lucky to have met her :)
Danielle was fantastic and took wonderful care of my two big dogs. She was able to fill in at short notice and kept us updated the entire time. She is punctual, thorough with care instructions, and kept the house in great shape. Will definitely re-book in the future!
We just got back from a week long vacation and I cannot tell you how relieved I was that Liz was with our pups. She was able to handle their vast personalities and medical needs effortlessly. We have a very skittish rescue who I was worried about the most. Much to my relief I came home to a very happy puppy...I think she not so secretly misses Liz. She sent us lots of photos and funny stories about the girls. It really helped put me at ease. Thank you again Liz, I feel so much better about the idea of vacations now that I know I have someone I can leave the girls with who will care for them like they are their own.
Alexandra was the perfect match for our dog. He can have pretty bad separation anxiety, but I didn’t have to worry about him with Alexandra. She stayed with him an entire week and was very patient and understanding. She was super punctual, professional, and communicative. She sent me frequent pictures and texts and always responding quickly to messages. We came home to a happy and calm pup and a clean house! Would highly recommend her!
