“I had complete peace of mind during my time away from home/dogs, that says everything! Linda is/was extremely respectful & responsible during her stay/caring for my 2 dogs. I would love to use her again, what a nice dog sitting experience, thank you..”


“We really enjoyed meeting Grayson. Thyme, our pup, is very frightened of strangers and even though Thyme met Grayson a few days earlier, she was terrified when Grayson unlocked the door and entered our home to let her out for her for her mid-day potty. Grayson showed Thyme patients and sat with Thyme long enough to giver her time to decompress and warm up, (a few treats helped too!) When Thyme wasn’t interested in going to the yard to potty, Grayson took her for a short walk! I really like Grayson and truly recommend her to watch your furs. When we arrived home, you would have never known anyone had been there. Grayson will be is very respectful of your home and house rules, should you have any. Thank you Grayson for helping us out. 💕”


“Rachel is the best! We just moved to our area and I was so glad that we found her to watch our 2 dogs and cat before our 4th of July trip. Our pets loved her and we will definitely ask her to dog sit again.”


“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”


“The dogs I know were well taken care of - I got updates twice a day. A friend disengaged the garage door for the mechanism and Ben fixed it for me!!! While he didn’t have to take care of my cat he cleaned out the litter box before I came home. When Neville met Ben , Neville is not a jumper at all, but he immediately climbed in Ben’s lap to be loved on by him. And Ben was awesome and let him! I highly recommend him and will use his services in the future!!”


“Riley was great! She provided updates while we were on vacation for 8 days. The pups enjoyed her, the house was tidy and clean afterwards. We highly recommend her and would hire her again!”


“Nathan took care of both our dogs while we were out of town for 10 days. One of our dogs is very energetic and we have been working with her training. Nathan did a meet and greet to make sure he could see how we work with her. He agreed to accept the sit. We were very happy he did. We were very pleased with Nathan and would definitely have him sit our dogs again.”


“Emily was absolutely amazing! So professional, easy to work with, and genuinely kind. She kept me updated with the sweetest pictures and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Wrigley was clearly so happy and well cared for, which means the world to me. Communication was great the whole time, and I could tell she really went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“This was our second time having Randall watch our pets. He is so kind and communicative. We get so many pictures and updates while we are away, and he goes above and beyond leaving our home clean and tidy - he folded some sheets from our dryer this visit! 10/10!”


About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to take great care of their fur babies and I have always loved doing so! I have taken care of dogs from all ages such as puppies to senior dogs and I also don’t mind on the size of your dog as I have cared for dogs of all sizes. I currently work full time mostly night shifts so my obscure schedule will allow to me to do late night or early morning pet sitting ! I can always try to accommodate to some day sitting. I can easily learn feeding and walking schedules. I have experience giving vitamins/medications. If your fur baby needs any special care I am happy to help.

“Rosemary was so great to work with! She communicated often, provided lots of adorable photos, and I returned to very happy pets. She was on time, took the time to get to know my anxious dog, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. She left my house spotless when she left. I will definitely rebook with her!”


About: We have been watching dogs for over 10 years now and have been the “go to” person for excellent dog care. We began when we were both 13 watching friend’s dogs while they left for extended vacations. We’ve watched dogs for 4 months while the family moved down south temporarily. We have also been trained with multiple sizes and breeds of dogs as well as many ages of dogs. We both were working as part time dog walker/sitters in Chicago while we attended school. I (Isaac) have owned three dogs in my lifetime. I have owned a golden retriever, a golden lab, and a golden retriever/lab mix. We both are available in the evenings and on Saturdays. Special skills would be keeping your dog entertained and loved. We take our job seriously and want to ensure the greatest safety when watching dogs! I only work at most 7 hours a day for 5 days a week. I have a wife who stays at home and is willing to take over when needed. She also has 10 years of experience with dogs and is a certified dog walker. I have a standard golden doodle which we keep on a fairly strict schedule. We make sure he gets tons of rest, make sure he eats what he needs to eat, and exercise the amount required for his breed and age. We always make sure that objects in the house that could potentially be of harm to him are kept away and if we do have to leave the house, he always is put inside his kennel after being let out to use the restroom. We always have save time throughout the day to train and time to play. I have a part time job on the side so if I cannot be there to care for the dogs during their set schedules my wife is also a certified rover sitter. Our main priority is to take care of our clients animals and make sure they stick with their schedules! We always make sure they are given proper amounts of food, water, and of course daily exercise and mind exercises. This of course varies on the dog, but we like to stick with our clients recommendations on how they like to keep their dogs healthy.
