We highly recommend her to stay and play with you dog.”

“Annie gave me daily photo updates and left me a picture she drew of Kiku, my floofy cat, after she left which was fun! My place looked better than how I left it when I got back. Kiku seemed happy to have a friend while I was gone and she got lots of quality time and attention with Annie staying at my place.”




13. April S.

“April came and stayed with our new rescue, Willow. We were apprehensive because we have never left her before and she is still crate training.

I would highly recommend April and we’re so glad we found her.”

He was communicative throughout. I came home to a perfectly clean house and, more importantly, very happy and very relaxed pets. I know they were in good hands. We already have our next stay booked with Will! I would highly recommend booking with him!”


18. Julie H.
About: Hi there! My name is Julie and I’m a third year medical student and a mom to a 3-year-old cat named Theo. Ever since I had my first pet hamster at the age of 7, I’ve loved hanging out with and taking care of our furry friends. I spent my childhood volunteering in animal shelters and taking care of my aunt’s dog. During my time in medical school, I adopted my cat Theo, who has been the best companion to sit alongside while studying. I have experience in dog walking and dog/cat/house sitting for various friends and clients in the Forest Park/Oak Park area and would love to branch out and meet new furry friends! As a pet parent myself, I understand how anxious it can be to be away from your pets, so I always make sure to send ample and detailed updates with photos while I am with them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends 💕 I’m currently taking the year off for research and my schedule allows for broad availability. I’m super flexible and happy to work around your schedule! I have a passion for taking care of others, whether they be people or animals! Safety and comfort of your pet will always come first.


19. Lydia S.
“Lydia is fantastic! She is not only a kind and caring person, but she is great with animals. My dog can be "particular", but she always loves when Lydia comes to take care of her. And Lydia always respects my specific instructions (e.g., my dog cannot be off leash even in a fenced backyard), unlike other dog walker/caretakers I have had in the past.”


20. Max B.

“Great sitter. Very friendly. Seems like my pup had a great time. Max is a pro dog sitter. Will book with him again. He asked good questions about dog related things that I forgot about”
