Rina was great with our dogs. They instantly bonded with her due to her warm and welcoming nature. She sent us frequent pictures and updates while we were away. She spent a week at our home with our dogs, which we believe they enjoyed. We will not hesitate to use her again when needed and could not recommend her highly enough.

I cannot thank THEODORE enough. I had several interviews and he stood out strongly. I am so grateful to have found him, he was the perfect solution to being able to leave my house & kitty for a 15 trip to Antarctica. This was my first ever housesit experience from Theodore, but from the very beginning he made me feel so comfortable & I knew Sabbat would be in safe in his hands. Theodore kept in contact throughout my trip with photos and updates of Sabbat which I appreciated and put my mind at ease. He respected my home and when I returned to a neat and tidy house, a well-cared for kitty, clean dishes, and a clean countertop, I was very happy indeed. Trustworthy, reliable, friendly, and genuine, Theodore went above & beyond and I hope to welcome him back again soon. I can now safely plan other trips knowing that my Sabbat will be well taken care of. I know my kitty loved him by the photos and the looks Theodore captured and relayed. Absolutely the best, I will be rebooking soon.

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.

Nicole was amazing! This was my first time leaving my pup for an extended period of time and she made sure to ask what level of updates I wanted and delivered! It’s clear she understands dogs very well and made me so comfortable being away from my pup. Even when he acted out the one time she handled it with grace and checked in with me how to best troubleshoot. Will definitely rebook the next time I need a sitter :).

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 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.

Erin is amazing. We met her for a meet and greet and then she just watched our dog overnight. She is so friendly and nice and our dog immediately loved her. She checked in and sent photos while we were away and updated us when she left. Our house was spotless when we got home and our dog was happy. We will be booking Erin whenever she is available!

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!

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 had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats and two dogs, but have had other animals in the past. I have taken care of animals in every way including a special needs cat who had diabetes, he needed insulin injections and blood sugar checks. I am a full time student at ISU. I have a very flexible schedule as I have at most two classes on two days of the week, one class two days of the week, and no classes the rest of the time. I have had cats most of my life, and am very accustomed to playing with cats, feeding schedules, litter cleanup, brushing, and nail clipping. I am very patient with a cat’s personality as I have rescued a mama cat and her kittens, and understand it can take some time for a kitty to get comfortable with new people or environment.

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!

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!
