“Kim is great. She did an amazing job making Jax feel at home, as well as giving me the peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. I could tell he was having fun. She even shared some useful training tips that I plan to use. Jax is definitely looking forward to seeing her again.”


“Julie is fantastic with dogs. She takes great care of Harlie, as if she were her own. Her sweet Pug Daisy is such a lovely companion for my dog. Such a great dog sitter!”


“I appreciate Jennifer’s help so very much. She treated Tony the dog so very well and even let me know how he was doing day to day. She really helped us both out so very much and I hope to get her help in the future!”



“This was my first time leave my dog Bruce anywhere other than my house. He can be a little anxious, so we were nervous to do this, but gave it a shot considering all the positive reviews Dee had. Dee updated us several times a day with messages and pictures/ videos of Bruce, which helped us relax because he looked happy at her house. Dee was very responsive to messages when we replied and we will be booking again for future trips if she is available!!”


“Chisato did a fantastic job taking care of our dog! She kept us updated frequently, and we felt comfortable knowing that Chisato was providing great care for our dog.”


“This is the fourth of fifth time we used Patricia to watch over our dog. We've never had any concerns or worries once we've dropped him off. Patricia is wonderful to work with and loves our furry companion. Thanks as always!”


“Kristal took great care of our fur baby while we went on vacation for a few days. She sent pictures regularly and when we picked up our little dog, she was happy and not at all stressed like she gets if we board her at a kennel. Communication was regular and clear. I highly recommend Kristal for your pet sitting.”


“We greatly appreciated Mary & Norman. This is our first time using Rover for our friendly and energetic husky. We liked how our husky was the only dog during his stay. We did a meet and greet with Mary and Norman and knew right away that they were the perfect place for our dog. They took our husky on 4-6 walks each day and he had so much fun. We were communicated daily with updates. We had zero worries or issues with the stay and with arranging times that mutually worked for us for drop off and pick up. We can’t wait for the next visit!”


“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”



“Jayne and her family were very caring and took great care of my dog. Many pictures and videos were shared throughout the stay that made me feel very comfortable knowing my pup was doing well away from home. Thank you Jayne for the excellent service!”


““Our dog’s spring break vacation” The overall care & true love she shows to her furry friends is like no other. Our senior dog got such a boost of energy & felt like a young pup frolicking in the forest preserve & swimming multiple times within the week in Lake Michigan. She has the sweetest dogs and cats & looking at pictures of them all snuggled up in her bed at night made us so happy. She has the coolest backyard for the pets too. We’ll book with no one else.”


“Tessa did such an amazing job with our dog! When we came for pick up, our dog was giving her the most excited kisses! She got multiple walks as well as play in the back yard! I would recommend Tessa over and over again to anyone!”


“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received from Koka she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy and well taken care of, and it was clear that Koka provided lots of love and attention. We highly recommend their services and will definitely be booking with them again!”


“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Veera! You looked after him wonderfully, and we really appreciated your prompt responses to all our questions. We felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend your pet care services!”



“Our golden doodle Ricky was under the care of Jennifer and Aaron for about 10 days. Their dog also happened to be golden doodle, so Ricky had a great time playing with him. Jennifer took very good care of Ricky and gave me daily updates with photos and text messages. She was a very kind to put Ricky at ease at times when he barked at night due to new place anxiety by allowing him to sleep in her room. They had a big fenced backyard for dogs to play during pleasant Chicago summer weather. Ricky enjoyed the walks as well. Ricky came back happy and healthy. I will recommend Jennifer as a dog sitter in a heart beat and she will gladly be my go-to dog sitter when I am in Chicago next year. Thank you Jennifer.”


About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

“There aren't enough stars available to give Yesina. She was awesome. Stoney loved her. She was just what he needed. She was very kind, good, stearn and loving with Stoney. Stoney loved her friendly and playful dogs and became one of the pack. She gave him the training he needed and he responded wonderfully. I trusted her right away. She gave me great training tips to continue with Stoney at home. When I first met her I knew it would be a great relationship! Thanks Yesina (and your hubby too) for everything!”

“Mike has taken really great care of our Puppy Bagheera!. Daily communication regards to puppy along with pictures made us feel like we were there with Bagheera. Definitely recommend Mike. Also looking forward to work with you for our future vacation.”

Alexis is absolutely AMAZING! Our boy Diesel absolutely loves her we’ve used her a few times now since moving to the area and she’s a true rockstar. Diesel whines and gets all excited when we pull up to drop him off. He’s so spoiled and loved when he’s with her. She always sends pictures and updates of him she has been hands down the best sitter we’ve ever worked with. She’s so sweet and flexible when it comes to pickup and drop off just down right easy to work with 💕
