“My dog Chloe loves her time at Melissa’s house. She’s always at home there and Melissa always sends pics with updates. Chloe says thanks for a great stay!”
“We boarded Oreo with De'Aysia from the 27th-29th of September and I can honestly say I would book her again! She made sure to give updates on him while I was away and answered any questions I had pretty quickly. This was my first time using the service and I'm glad with how everything turned out :)”
“Boarding with Lola was great! We were worried about our sweet boy Franklin as we’ve boarded at our doggie daycare before and he didn't do very well. So heading into this boarding experience, we were nervous to leave but Lola made the experience so much less stressful! We felt comfortable leaving him with her from the start! We also got pictures and videos through the boarding experience and Franklin looked like he was having the best time! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy 💙”
“Kerstin is absolutely the BEST! Her and her family treated our energetic 20 month old German Shepard like if he was part of their family. She sent us pictures and updates on him every day. She is amazing with pets and has so much patience. We were so happy to find her she gave us such a relief on our 1st time vacation after getting Slinky. Definitely will be taking Slinky to Kerstin in a future. Don’t overthink it she is the BEST!!!”
“She was very good with our little dog and in fact fed him fresh vegetables and gave him bath on the day of departure. We strongly recommend her as a pet sitter:)”
“Merry and Tucker love Cato come to Kayla’s home. They out of the car and head directly for the front door. Merry even had a fury friend for the last visit. They played until exhausted. Great time for our high energy girl. Our old boy was able to get plenty of rest. Kayla always ensures Ricker gets her medication. Both come home happy, and relaxed!! Thank you again Kayla”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life growing up to adulthood. I currently have a 2 cats - Benny & Banks and a Cane Corso - Bentley! I love animals and caring for them and spoiling them when I have extra ones. I’m a trustworthy person and looking to help out those in my community with great care for your pets while you’re away I currently have a pretty open schedule for the most part for all days of the week. I am a property manager in Peoria and mostly work virtual except for the times I have to maintenance the properties. I am free most mornings, evenings, and nights. I have a fenced backyard and my gentle giant Bentley to keep your furry ones occupied while you’re away! We crate our dog when we are out. They will get plenty of love snuggles and treats in our home. I’m also a very trust worthy person with a clean record for someone to trust in your home while you’re away.
“Faith did an excellent job taking care of my two dogs! She gave frequent updates and provided many pictures of them having a fun time. She offered some job observations of their behaviors and provided constructive recommendations. I plan on utilizing her again for dog sitting services.”
About: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and my husband, three kids (3, 7, and 10) and I are so excited to love your dog while you’re away! A Roof for Ruffs is the brainchild of our 10yo daughter. We are a foster family for a local dog rescue organization where we take in one or two dogs at a time until they can find their forever homes. We’re having so much fun with fostering that our sweet girl suggested we take on paying clients between our fosters, and donate some of the proceeds to the same local dog rescue organization. ♥️ I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Between fostering, petsitting for family, neighbors and friends, and caring for my own pups, I have experience with all ages—from very young puppies to seniors and everything in between; small and large breeds; well-behaved and questionable; medical cases, and even the occasional cat. 😱 Your dog’s vacay siblings for their stay will include a 2yo female Great pyr/St. Bernard rescue pup, and two 4yo guinea pigs. We are so very excited to meet your dog, and to treat them like family for their stay. My husband works full time, but I am a freelance writer with flexible hours working from home while caring for our three kids. In other words: your pup won’t be left alone often! 😆 **Please note: all pets must have proof of updated vaccines and be okay with kids (they will be loved on and spoiled by our kiddos while they’re here!) I am home daily with my kids, so lots of potty breaks and playtime is possible throughout the day. We are available most weekdays or weekends unless blocked while we have a foster or for travel. We have a 4-foot aluminum fence in the backyard and live on a public park with a walking trail for easy exercise options. We have extra dog crates here if your pup is crate-trained or feel free to bring your own.
“Leslee was super nice and helped us out big time when we were in a pinch. Milford seemed to have a great stay and made himself right at home. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Rachelle is such a great sitter, Our pup Layla loves staying over and getting play time with Rizzo. Layla is a high energy pup and Rachelle is great with her. Rachelle is so nice and goes above and beyond to work with us when we are scheduling and constantly keeps us up to date with how the visit is going while we are away. I highly recommend Rachelle and I know our pup looks forward to future visits!”
“Hector was the best dog sitter we've ever used, hands down. He sent plenty of updates and photos, he was kind and our nervous dogs did very well with him!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and know how hard it can be to find the time to do everything for them. I teach my old dog new tricks all the time! Sometimes 5 minutes is all they need. Not all dogs are lazy bones and with the more active dogs I love taking walks in the area. I’m a student working part time and lucky enough to have breaks throughout the day to find time to spend with some of your furry friends I have a cozy yard with a lead around a tree that can hold up to 100 pounds for the night time. During the day I live in a community that I can take relaxing walks around. In your home I will make sure your pet feels comfortable. Your dogs routine is important and if long walks are better than short ones I will adapt to your dogs needs!

Walter S.
“We have a husky, very energetic, sometimes even crazy and spoiled dog. It’s always an issue to find someone that we can trust and feel fully relaxed during our trips. Walter was recommended by some people that we met at a dog park. After contacting him, and talking to him we decided to meet. Since then, we can travel and have absolutely no worries leaving our Myla in his care. He is amazing person, loves dogs, very attentive and knows how to take care. We never had a single issue. Highly recommend to use Walter for your dog sitting. Walter - our Myla loves you and misses you!”
