“She was amazing at communicating. Helped us feel sure that we were leaving our Judah with a friendly safe person. Judah had lots of fun and we will definitely come back to Martha any time we need someone to watch him!”
2. Julie T.
“Julie was great! Her home is very dog friendly. She catered to Bitsy by letting her sleep on her lap. And, she sent adorable pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
3. Karina B.
“I am very happy to report that Karina and her daughter were awesome for my new foster who is really fearful and shy at first. I was nervous at first because I didn't know her at all and the lady who owns the Rescue was telling me how sometimes Rover sitters actually steal dogs! But Karina was honorable and very communicative. Responded to texts instantly all week and kept me informed of everything, even got a picture of Roxy pooping! LOL From the many pictures and videos she sent, Roxy felt right at home and did quite well I think! I recommend Karina and will definitely rebook if she's available next time I come to town!”
4. Jennifer A.

6. Lorena R.
“This was my first dog sitter and I couldn’t have been luckier. I was nervous but Miss Lorena took great care of my pup and sent pictures of him along the way. Scrappy got very comfortable in her home with her husband Alex as well. And she lives in a great neighborhood where Scrappy took many walks. Thank you again Miss Lorena it was great meeting you.”

“Olive had the best time with Kristal! She was so accommodating to her needs, and it’s clear that Kristal has a lot of experience with dogs. We will be using her again and again!”
10. Juliana F.
“Juliana was able to accommodate my last minute request for dog sitting in her home. She was prepared with water bowl and pee pads in case Axl had to pee (it was raining outside). Axl had just had surgery and she took great care of him for a few hours. Thank you, Juliana!”
11. Janette M.
“My little guy had a wonderful time at his first day of daycare! Thank you for making him feel so safe and comfortable. He had a great day and we will definitely be back!”
12. Tessa S.
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Tessa and the dog daycare that she provides! She is very friendly, clearly a big dog lover, and is very attentive to my dog, Cypria's individual personality, needs, and preferences. Cypria always takes some time to warm up to new places and people, but has been very quickly warming up to Tessa. When Tessa first met Cypria, she even sat down on the floor so that Cypria would feel less intimidated and feel comfortable enough to approach her. I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog with Tessa knowing that she is so well cared for. Tessa also watched my family's Border Collie, Maia, who is incredibly energetic. Maia miraculously came home tired for once and very content after a day with lots of her favorite activity: fetch!”
13. Koka K.
“Koka began pet sitting for me when she was in college and has always been my go to sitter. Dogs, cats lizards and anything in between. She is a true animal lover. She can be counted on to be responsible and act appropriately if an emergency arises.”
14. Alicia D.
“Alicia is a patient and caring pet lover! She was two fur babies of her own so she understands the importance of giving your pet the best care as possible. She is also great at communication and providing updates to put you at ease while you are away. Highly recommend Alicia, your pet will be in good hands!”

About: Ask me how to get $20 off your first Rover booking with me! Hola- Hablo Español, también! Hello there! I am a dog and cat mama myself and love to be around all animals. I have owned and babysat chickens, cats, and dogs since i was little. I am very patient and loving towards animals and would love to care for your fur baby as per your requests while you are away. I work at home full time so I am up early and will spend full days with your pet. Let me know of any special requests and I will be happy to fulfill them! Located in Gurnee IL. I work from home full time and have a highly social and playful dog. During the day your boarded babies will play with Bentley (my dog) and nap on the bed in my office to jazz and classical music. During my break I usually walk my dog midday or late afternoon. If your dog or cat is not boarded, after 11A I am free to pop over and check on your fur babies and spend some time with them. My dog and cats safety at home are a high priority, I keep my home clean and free of anything they might chew or choke on. As well as all chemicals and other hazards showed away in cabinets they are unable to open. For my anxious dog I keep classical music on throughout the house to create a peaceful environment. Your pooch will feel at ease in my home and will always be watched and cared for. I make sure to send plenty of pictures and videos to update you on their mood and how their day is going. Nothing better than getting reassurance that your fur baby is in the best hands!! In your home I will watch them the entire time while they are playing and eating to make sure they are okay and haven’t gotten into any trouble.
16. Patricia K.
“Pat took great care of my dog. She has a lot of experience and really cares about animals. This was my dog's first time with Pat and he seemed to have enjoyed himself (even though he was a little uneasy with an unfamiliar environment). I definitely recommend Pat to care for your fur babies.”
17. Justine L.
“Justine is the greatest dog mom I have ever had the honor of knowing. Not only is she caring, knowledgeable, patient, and responsible with her own furry companion, but so much does she show the same towards other pets that I made her a god-momma to my own. Your furry companion will be in no better care than with Justine.”
18. Wendy T.
“Wendy was very dear and took great care of Schatzi during the days while I visited nearby sites during my stay in the Bronx. I would never have been able go to Botanical Gardens and Zoo and museums without her help with my mini dachsie. Wendy has a mini dachsie and the two greeted each other very amicably on first meet. "We loved having her (Schatzi)."”

20. Sandra M.
About: I have basic skills in pet caring such as bathing, grooming, nail trimming, teeth brushing, feeding, playing. If your pet needs to take meds I'll make sure it gets done. I can adjust to your pets liking, whether it's that they like to be touched and would like to play around or would rather be left alone, I can do it. Whether they're younger or older, patience is always a key thing to have with any pet. At the same time, each pet has their own personality and it's important to take notice of it and know how to treat them. I have the belief that a pet is also a member of the family, which is precisely how they'll be treated in my home. Happy pet, happy life :) I work from home, living with my own fur baby and have plenty of love and time to go around to help care for your own fur baby/babies ❤️ I have a fenced in yard with a beautiful tree and plenty of space to run around and have fun in. My home can easily accommodate for cats having plenty of windows and ledges for sunbathing at any time. If interested there is plenty of couch space to snuggle up on
