Keyonnah is the best dog sitter I have used! Her gentle demeanor and love of pets, put my dog at ease and I felt 100 % comfortable leaving my pet in her care for 8 days. Keyonnah is reliable, responsible and extremely affordable. I will definitely continue to hire Keyonnah as needed.

Theodore was great! Our dogs Harley and Zoey loved him and we couldn’t ask for anyone better! He gave us updates on how they were doing and sent pictures and we didn’t have to worry at all about how they were doing when we were away on vacation! We could just relax and enjoy ourselves! There was an incident at the end of his time watching them where Harley chewed a couple things, but that was only because he was anxious because Theodore had a family emergency and had to leave in the middle of the night and was totally understandable and not his fault! We would definitely recommend him to housesit and watch your pets and we will definitely be using him again in the future!

Rina stayed in our home with our three dogs. One of my dogs is reactive and she listened to all of the tips and trigger points we noted to keep everyone safe. She was confident, smart and dog savvy. Their feeding routine and meds were given without a hitch. She recognized that one of my dogs was feeling stressed without us and reached out for ways to help her feel comfortable. Everyone was happy and healthy when we returned. We will definitely be using Rina for future dog sitting, she was awesome!

Kara was great with all our dogs (and tortoise)! One of our dogs is old and needs insulin and a diaper and another is very stressed around strangers. Kara took the time to let the dogs get to know her and everything went really well.

Beth took care of are two wild pit mixes. They have some meds and special food and walking instructions which make us worry a little while we’re gone. But we ran into no issues with any of that. The dogs were well taken care of and Beth updated us frequently. One less thing to worry about during a family trip is so great.

About: I've grown up always having pets in the home. We've always had at least one dog in the house, along with a handful of other types of pets (cats, rats, guinea pigs, even a chinchilla) throughout the years. This has solidified my love for animals of all kinds, and makes me eager to care for and love your pets as if they are my own, if you choose to give me the opportunity to do so :) I am a teacher trying to keep myself busy for the summer! My schedule is wide open so feel free to message me with any requests! I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and any medications they may need. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also make sure to keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind! I also have reliable transportation which would allow me to be able to come to your home and care for your pet in their own environment!

Jolee was a great help for me and my dogs! Her communication was excellent, from the initial booking process to the day of. She kept me informed on when she'd be there and when she left. I like that she asked about what the dogs' needs were based off information in their profiles. Showed great attention to detail. My dogs are pretty low key most of the time, but I really liked that she wanted to get their toys out and be involved with them while at the house. It made me feel very at ease about being away for a day. I would definitely book with her again!

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs. I have most experience with big dogs like Rottweilers, labs, and pitbulls (not that big I know). I’ve taken care of and helped train puppies and toddler dogs as well as senior dogs. Currently have a white pitbull mix who deals with allergies and skin issues who I trained myself. I’m happy to handle any and all quirks and requests you or your pet may have. I know what it’s like to feel like a burden when looking for a dog sitter because they need a specific feeding method or a weird ritual for potty time. I’m currently a student at Illinois Central College. I have free time most days over the summer. My availability will be a bit more limited in the fall. I am comfortable with all types of pets and all that comes with them. I have lots of experience picking up and cleaning up after animals as well as crate training if needed, skin care, giving medicine, grooming, clothing, or anything else you might need/want.

About: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born! I have a BSc in Veterinary Technology, have been a US Army Veterinary Technician for 20 years working with Military and Law Enforcement working dogs and have a huge passion for canine enrichment and fitness 🐕❣️ I am a full time student pursuing my Master's in Clinical Care, but don't let that discourage you! I have excellent time management skills, and can very easily balance lifestyle and education. I am also still in the Reserves, meaning one weekend out of each month, I won't be available to hang out with your sweet fur-babies 😭 Otherwise, I am wide available! I do have 5 dogs of my own and a fully fenced yard. However, they are a solid pack and can be a little unpredictable when introducing new friends. Because of this, my main goal is to take your fur-babies on walks and get them some exercise and enrichment, rather than have them over for play time.

About: I have experience administering all kinds of medication to all ages of dogs. I love meeting your older dogs and have experience helping them navigate stairs and the home if necessary. I am patient and if your dog needs extra accommodation I am happy to provide assistance. I am currently a college student on break for the summer so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. I understand it can be nerve racking trusting someone with your pet, but I am extremely communicative and will keep you updated as frequently as you wish. I have pet sat for multiple families who have always returned to tidy homes and happy pets. As someone who has had the privilege of loving many animals, big and small (snakes, lizards, geckos, cat, hamsters), I understand the importance of your pet.

Laticia is the BEST!!! Our girls love her - we have always had a hard time leaving them knowing they would not get the same love and attention we give them. With Laticia it was a different story, she fills the void and then some! She played, cuddled, talked and quite possibly interacted with them even more than we do! Not sure they missed us at all. lol We give her the highest recommendation and will definitely be requesting her again! Bonus points-- After caring for the dogs for a week, we came home to a spotless house!
