“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”


“Jennifer is simply amazing for both my dog and my piece of mind. In a single week of daycare, she has helped give my dog the confidence he needs to lessen his anxiety issues. Her communication is phenomenal. The pictures are adorable. The report cards are thorough and provides great suggestions, and she's very flexible with my crazy schedule. She is quite truly an angel, when we needed one the most!”


“Emily treats your fur babies like her own! My girls absolutely love spending the day at doggie daycare with her and her sweet pup, Gertie. I get the cutest playtime videos throughout the day, which gives me total peace of mind knowing they're safe, loved, and having an absolute blast while I'm away.”


“Can’t thank Christina enough for coming through on such short notice! Blair had the best time and was the happiest pup with her. So grateful to have someone I can trust with my baby, knowing she’s in great hands and having a fun day.”



“Stacy has been watching Trixie about 2 to 3 times a week since I adopted Trixie at 4 months old over a year ago. She's been a godsend allowing me to work downtown and have care for Trixie. She goes above and beyond, and I'm pretty sure Trixie thinks she's her mom :) Thanks for everything Stacy!”


“Chris and Dan were responsive, helpful and generous. They did a fabulous job with my pup and went above and beyond by brushing him out and giving him treats for good behavior. I will happily have Chris and Dan look after him whenever I need a sitter in Rockford.”


“Jaqueline and her daughter Bella were AWESOME!! Our puppy, who is 11 months old, has never stayed with anyone else before. Not only was she nervous, we were too! We didn’t know how she would react to NEW PEOPLE, and a new doggie friend. Jaqueline sent me tons of pictures, even a video of my dog having fun in her backyard, with her dog! She reassured me of how well my puppy was at adjusting to a new environment. I trust her 100% , along with her loving daughter Bella! They did whatever they could think of, to make her less nervous and anxious!! I look forward to more dates in the future.”


“Claudette is very friendly and I like her location. There is a park in front of their house, very convenient for a dog walk. Jenko loves it there. I definitely recommend her and will Use her service again.”


About: What is life without pets? I have always had at least 1-2 dogs living with me. I dog sit for family and friends frequently and love giving animals the attention they deserve when their human is away. I work from home. I typically am on the clock from 8-4pm. I am lucky to have a job that allows flexibility as needed. I work next to my back door with views of the dogs outside if I'm inside at my desk. This also helps me pay attention to see if they need to go outside. I also take breaks to just visit with my dog and typically take him on lunch walks (if your pet is a good walker, let me know and they can come along!) I'm willing to try and accomodate your needs, just ask! I will only take house trained animals with no accidents in the past 6 months! I also cannot accept toy aggressive/possessive dogs. They also need to have been socialized with other dogs (preferably cats too). Please be courteous to your sitters and let them know of any behavior issues so we can keep all animals safe! I have a fenced in yard and a Bernedoodle named Bennie (he is socialized well and very docile) who would love to share his home with a play mate! I also have one cat who can be separated in her own sanctuary if needed. I treat animals like family. I believe they all have their own personalities and feelings that require individualized care.

“Our Teddy made good friends with Brynn and her family! He had fun snacks and took a nice long nap when he came home so I know he must have had a good play day! I would leave teddy with Brynn again, absolutely!.”


“Hanna saved me in a sticky situation where I needed to board my dog unexpectedly. She was able to alleviate my worries about my fur baby being cared for while I was out of the country and I can’t thank her enough!”


About: I am the second oldest of 8 kids and I have taken care of pets and kids ever since I was little. I love cats and dogs and get along well with many breeds but prefer small dogs because of strength and we have a huge yard but it’s not fenced in. I am currently available 24/7 and just have small increments of time I would be gone for a doctors appointment occasionally so I can take the dog out often. We keep them well fed and hydrated and cuddle for cats and dog and for the dog we also let him out on the long chain or my son takes him from a walk because he is a larger breed.

About: I've had dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up with them. I currently have a very energetic 3 year old female boxer name Parker and a 9 month old mix who would love some company! I am currently working from home full time. So I am home all day. Your pet would have my full attention. No need to worry! My dogs had free range of the house. We also have a dog park that we frequently visit with 7 minutes of our home. Which is in a gated community.

About: I have always been around animal’s since I was a young girl and I cherish every moment of it. An animal’s love is like no other. I’m currently working part time and going to school, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups-doggy. I do in home boarding and I can dog sit. I have a fenced yard. A pool if they like to swim. I make homemade treat’s and I treat them like our own family’s fur baby.

About: I've had dogs all my life and also fostered 11 dogs thru Good Shepherds Rescue. (if I could have, would have adopted all 11) Currently I have no pets so I am available to give 100% of my attention to your furbaby(s) 😊 I'm currently working full time during the week.

I will come to your place to meet you and your furbaby, get all details as to what the daily routine is and follow that plus lots of love and snuggles. I have paid for and received a 3rd party background check.
