1. Jennifer A.
“Once again, Jennifer over delivered and took incredible care of our overly active 2-yr. old. She has a beautiful young pup of her own and the two played all day.. and curled up together at night. A rare treat for Zuka!”
2. Tessa S.
“Tessa was the best! My dogs loved her and her husband. My mind was totally relaxed because of her and had no worries being gone from my babies.”
3. Chisato A.
“This was my first time using Rover and Chisato gave me the confidence I needed. She was amazing with King. He also enjoyed his time playing with toys and being a good boy on walks. I also really enjoyed receiving tons of videos and pictures of King while I was away. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. ☺️”
4. Dee S.
“If I could give a 6 star review, I would. This was the first time we've left our fur baby, and we were lucky to find Dee. After meeting her and seeing how much she truly loves dogs, we knew ours would be in good hands while we were out of town. Dee sent us several updates each day, with photos, showing us how happy our dog was while she was there. Super nice lady, our dog loves her and we could tell she loves our dog. We will ONLY let our dog stay with Dee from here on out. I don't think we could possible find a better person to watch our girl. When I went to pick up my dog, she didn't want to leave. Dee is truly the BEST. Thanks again!!!”
5. Kim K.
“Kim was awesome! She sent us so many pictures and updates throughout our dogs stay I felt so reassured that he was happy and having a good time! We will definitely be using Kim again and I would highly recommend her to anyone with a first time dog stay or even one who’s done lots before!”
6. Michael M.
“Mike is amazing! He created a fun and safe environment and showered my pups with love, keeping them happy and comfortable throughout the stay. His communication was excellent, providing updates and photos. If you're looking for a dog sitter who truly cares, this is the one. Your dog will have a blast, and you'll have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Highly recommend!”
7. Mary & Norman B.
“Mary and Norm were the absolute best dog sitters! We left our 12 year old Shihtzu with them and he was treated so well. We got daily updates and knew he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
8. Alexis A.
“Alexis was absolutely WONDERFUL! She was available to watch my baby boy on such a short notice. She stayed in contact the whole time I was gone and sent me pictures. She took him to a nature park and on lots of walks. She was so nice and responded fast. My dog wasn’t even fazed that I left him and was excited to go with her. I will definitely book with her again for all my dog sitting needs!”
9. Patricia K.
“Having left my 2 dogs with Missey on several occasions, her house is like my dogs second home. They absolutely love it and I feel 100% secure in leaving them with her. She is truly the best and spoils her doggie guests with lots of TLC! Thanks Missey! Jill H.”

14. Lorena R.
“This was our first time using a pet sitter and in home boarding. Lorena is so sweet and caring to our pup Lucy. She kept in contact with us and that was so reassuring. Sent pictures and videos often. Lorena's home was set up in a way that was great for dogs...fenced in large yard, and no carpet for easy cleanup. Clean and tidy. Will definitely use Lorena again, happy to have found her!”
15. Alicia D.

“Carolina was so wonderful with our 3 cats. She took such good care of them while we were on vacation. She sent me updates and photos daily. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs excellent, loving care for their fur babies.”
17. Dora D.
“Dora was wonderful. She keep me updated daily with what Camila did every day with pictures, that help keep my mind at ease during my trip. She made sure she was comfortable and happy with her and the rest of her fur babies. Lots of walks and took her around town to keep her active and happy. Overall I can’t recommend her enough I will be asking for her services again and I bet Camila will be very happy to see her as well.”

19. Danielle D.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Danielle and I am a Lake Forest local! I love dogs (especially small dogs) and I am happy to help you with your needs. During the day I am an entrepreneur with my business in Lake Bluff. Sitting dogs has helped with some extra money since being an entrepreneur is tough! I have my own small dog, Max, who is a hypoallergenic/non shedding Yorkie-Poo. He is 15yo and loves other dogs! Ideally he can come with me to sit/walk your dog but he is also comfortable staying at home! We are currently in our slow season at work (office in Lake Bluff), so it is easy for me to take time out of my day to care for your pet. Additionally I am available evenings and weekends— for day visits or overnight stays. If your pet stays at my home we have a fully fenced back yard with 1.5 acres to run and play! Sleep time can be crated or snuggle in bed with me and my dog Max :) if your pet requires specialty care or medical needs please let me know. I live in east Lake Forest.

“So thankful for Elisa! Second time booking with her because our dog loved her so much! It was a great time for our dog to socialize with her dog as well. We appreciated the photo updates.”
