“You and your family were truly wonderful. Thank you so much for embracing my fur baby and making him feel right at home. The constant reassurance, the beautiful pictures, and the updates meant more to me than you know. I could tell he was being loved and well cared for the entire time. You were also incredibly flexible and attentive, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful for the care you gave — we will definitely be back! A++++++++”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ginebra! She did an excellent job taking care of our dog and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

About: I've been a dog owner the past decade and have cared for a dog collectively for 15 years total. I am highly observant of their behaviors, needs, health and different ways of communicating. I'm also a great communicator when it comes to responsiveness, sending daily photos and answering any questions. As a bonus, if you are flying out of town, we can provide a free parking space at our home and most likely drop you off and pick you up at either airport for a nominal additional fee to cover gas ($10 Midway, $20 O'Hare) to save you money on a ride share or taxi rate. I am early retired and my wife is typically home from her job as a physician at a nearby hospital before 5 pm. I typically walk our two dogs once a day + let them play in our 1000 sqft fenced dog run that's kept clean and covered in red cedar chips. We have two very friendly dogs and two friendly cats to keep yours company too and play with. We have crates on each level of our home and can even keep your dog isolated (if you want) in a separate room with closed door, while still receiving exercise, attention and proper care.
“Guillermina absolutely took care of our pup really well! She provided daily updates where he looked extremely happy, comfortable and at home. Would recommend her services to anybody.”
“Our pup has stayed with Jo’Ell multiple times, and each time she’s been wonderful. She’s super responsive and caring and our dog clearly always has a great time at her house. Thanks Jo’Ell!”
“Linda and her family were phenomenal. I got updated pictures and feedback everyday we were gone for vacation, Linda was so understanding when last minute my dog got an ear infection and ended up needing medication before we left, and when we picked her up she was walked and medicated for the evening. Linda was so kind, VERY quick with responding and reassurance, and organized. This was my first experience with Rover. Right away I knew Linda would be trustworthy and good with my pup. She had a fenced in yard where the dogs would chase each other and get out energy Thank you Linda and family for taking such great care of Luna! Hopefully she’ll see you guys and Daisy soon!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our dog, Chief! She took great care of him while we were away and kept us updated so we knew he was doing well. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She’s very kind, responsive, and clearly loves dogs. We would absolutely trust her to watch Chief again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Cary and her daughter are wonderful. Mac was there for a week and made himself at home. A nice fenced in yard and he was treated as one of the family. I highly recommend.”
“Veronica is the best! Tucker loved being at her place! She made him so comfortable and myself as well, knowing my senior dog was in good hands. Many, many thanks to Veronica! Tucker will definitely be visiting her again.💕”
“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”
“Mia was amazing! She kept me updated, assisted with keeping my dogs training on track, and is very kind! I will absolutely use her services again and would recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”

We booked Desiree for a four day dog sitting stay and they were absolutely wonderful. Our dog Tucker was so happy, well fed and relaxed when we got home. Desiree communicated from start to finish. I highly recommend to all dog parents and would rebook with Desiree in a heartbeat.
