“Andrea was amazing with our dog Maya! She was so flexible with our schedule even as it got closer to the dates she was sitting. She communicated well and often before and during so that we felt comfortable. Highly recommend her!”


“Diane is always so thoughtful with Juni! We're very appreciative of all the care she gives her and how communicative she is with us throughout the stay. It puts our minds at ease.”


“We have worked with Coleen a ton if times now to watch our pets, and every time has been an amazing experience. She has always given everything we asked. Tons of updates, photos, and most of all the security to be gone without worrying our pets are in good hands. We cannot recommend Coleen enough.”


“Stephanie pup sat and house sat for us while we were out of town for over a week and she was FANTASTIC every step of the way. She came over to meet our two pups and they instantly connected, even our doggo who’s a bit of a scaredy cat loved her instantly. We explained the flow of a typical day before we left, and throughout the trip we never for a second worried that Stephanie needed extra reminders or pings. Stephanie sent us regular updates and pics of the pups as they explored the neighborhood on their leashed walks. Stephanie was also very clean and treated our place with a ton of respect - we’d had the place cleaned before we left and it looked even cleaner and tidier when we got back. Overall we were really happy with Stephanie, who helped us out immeasurably while also juggling her work. Our pups were well taken care of, our place was looked after, and I honestly can’t remember another trip we took where we didn’t have to worry at all about how our girls were doing, and we have Stephanie to thank for that!”


“This was my 1st time leaving my dog for a long weekend and I couldn’t have chosen a better caregiver for him. My Murphy is a rescue & has some anxiety issues but Jo handled him with patience, understanding and love. She tapped in to her knowledge of dogs and put both myself & Murphy at ease. She tried a few new toys/treats with him which he loved and sent me plenty of pics and videos of Murphy throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”



“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. April is responsive, prompt, caring, and has a strong attention to detail. Our house was left in immaculate condition and Willow is happy to see us. I would highly recommend April and we’re so glad we found her.”


“Ola was a wonderful dog sitter for our pup. She was neat, orderly, and respectful of our place while we were gone. She did us a huge favor by staying with our pup over Memorial Day weekend. 10/10!”


“Klaudia was so great with our pup Bowie! From the meet and greet to her daily updates (and amazing pictures!) Klaudia was very professional and a la excellent communicator. Bowie can be an anxious dog but she took to Klaudia’s calm, capable demeanor right away and we had zero worries during our whole weekend away. Would definitely have Klaudia back anytime!”



“Once again Liz did an outstanding job staying at our house and taking care of our two Basset Hounds Penny and Sheldon. This was during the record cold in Chicago and she made sure the pups stayed warm and that all precautions were taken to make sure none of our pipes froze and the house was OK. I cant recommend Liz highly enough.”


“Ariel is a great pet/house sitter. She was flexible, responsive, and our dog took to her very quickly, which never happens. We will definitely book her for future dog sitting!”


“Ashley left my home cleaner than before we left. She took great care of our dog, who had recently injured his leg, and adapted care plans on the fly despite it being her first time watching them. She handled a deaf and visually impaired 1.5y/o Aussie like she'd lived with him her whole life. Everyone was happy, safe, and sound upon our return.”


“Belle, our 7 year old Golden Retriever, immediately took to Elijah and misses her already. She arrived on time and informed us how Belle was doing when we were gone. She left Belle and our house in great shape. We highly recommend her.”


“Tetiana was amazing and super caring for our dogs. one of the dogs got pneumonia 2 days before our trip and was it was very hard feeding him his medicine. although challenging Tetiana managed to give him medicine and keep his mood upbeat even while sick. She also was very understanding of our situation as we just moved and had many packed boxes in the house. She would keep us up to date with pictures and videos of our pets and we never felt more relieved. I cannot thank her enough and would definitely recommend her for your pets. She has a hidden talent of calming dog who go crazy once locking eyes with a squirrel, by the time we came back our dog was trained and not pulling. It was absolutely shocking how much calmer he got with Tetiana training in place. ❤️”


“Monica is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Monica knew how to calm him because of her experience working at a vet. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Monica was flexible and understanding. You are a life saver! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”


About: Hello!My name is Yiran and I come from China,I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them is something that brings me real joy. I have about 3 years of experience dog sitting and walking, and over 5 years of experience with cats. When I was 16,I used to sit my aunt's dog all the time. I grew up with a British Golden Retriever, and when I turned 18, I got a Ragdoll cat who quickly became my best friend. I also have a lot of hands-on experience with small animals—I’ve cared for over 20 hamsters and 4 guinea pigs over the years. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. (I'm also planning on getting a bunny!!) I currently have a 10-8pm full time job. I am always off on Tuesdays and Saturdays(full day care) And I'll be free sometimes even 6pm during normal work days. When I first got my baby Ragdoll,I flew to LA to the breeder's house,she took me in and gave me a huge handbook:about how to care for my baby cat,what food is good,what medicine to buy if she's sick,her daily routine,how to communicate with her...And I bought ticket,brought her on airplane with me flew back home. When it comes to my love for animals,I Will put as much effort as I can! I know the basic routine and difference for cats and dogs,i know what food they shouldn't be eating,how to train them and how to calm them down if they are stressed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! From neighbors to friends/family! It’s my favorite and brings me so much happiness! That’s why I currently own two small dogs. Im currently a stay at home mom and would love to host some different pups! My two schnauzers love making friends. It would be awesome for everyone! I walk my dogs multiple times a day and take them to my local dog park! I’m home so I’m able to focus all my attention on your little one.

About: Hi, I’m James! I’ve spent the past several years working in customer service and hospitality, most recently as a flight attendant—so I know a thing or two about responsibility, attention to detail, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m also a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or simply keeping your furry friend company while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that trust seriously. I’m punctual, respectful of your home and routines, and I always aim to provide reliable and compassionate care. Let me help give you peace of mind when you can’t be there—your pet will be in caring, capable hands! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize their well-being. With my background in hospitality and flight attending, I’m used to managing structured schedules while staying adaptable. Now that I have more flexibility in my day-to-day life, I’m able to dedicate time each day for drop-ins, feedings, play sessions, and walks. I build my routine around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Caring for pets is not just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and plan my day around. In a client’s home, I always make it a priority to follow their specific instructions and routines to ensure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and organized while giving pets the love and attention they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, administering medication, or just giving cuddles and companionship, I take my time to make sure everything is done right—and that your pet feels safe and cared for.
