“Arlene pup-sat our lovely 3 month old puppy, who came home happy and tired. I would recommend her for all ages. She is a warm, caring person and I felt that our pup was in good hands.”

“My shy, anxious beagle had a blast at Valerie’s, didn’t want to come home! I appreciated Valerie’s patience, flexibility, and ability to be both laidback with my pup while also giving her space to indulge her zoomies. Plus, we got lots of pics throughout the day. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will use again!”

“We appreciate how Sasha took such good care of our senior dog. He enjoyed meeting her dog and napping in her comfortable home. She responded quickly to our initial request, communicated clearly along the way, and sent several cute photos. I definitely recommend Sasha!”
“Jackie saved the day, offering to sit for my dog CoCo when the other sitter failed to come through for me. She is kind, thoughtful, responsible, and communicative, and I love her Black Cat! I recommend her whole-heartedly. :)”


“Stacey was very generous and honest when my high energy dog came to her home. Unfortunately, my dog was not able to behave properly because he is a puppy and it led to some issues which she quickly made me aware. I was glad that she made me aware as quickly as she did because it allowed me to respond to the issue with speed and given the situation she was incredibly clear and understanding. Highly recommend!”

“David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.”

About: Caring for dogs is something I’ve enjoyed doing for as long as I can remember. I grew up around animals in Puerto Rico and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a companion animals care certificate, giving me both hands-on experience and formal knowledge in companion animal care. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy day care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I tailor my care to fit their needs and routine. I’m also comfortable with senior dog care, medications, and basic training reinforcement. Since I work from home full-time, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is always to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. I also live with My best friend and roommate, Erica, who is also trained and able to care for your pup. So, if you board with us, you can rest assure your pet will have the best care 24/7! I work from home full-time, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home with the pet throughout the day and can provide consistent supervision, attention, walks, feeding, and playtime. Since I live close to Portage Park, I’m also able to give dogs plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation through walks, outdoor time, and their favorite games. Whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just exploring the park, my top priority is to make them happy. On the rare occasions I do step out, my roommate is home and helps ensure your pet is never left alone. In caring for pets, my approach is rooted in both professionalism and personalized attention. Depending on the service offered, the care provided may vary. However, one constant remains: meticulous adherence to instructions and a commitment to the well-being of every furry friend entrusted to my care. I take a lot of pride in my ability to follow instructions diligently, ensuring that your pet receives tailored care according to your explicit preferences. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication administration, or specific exercise routines, I prioritize clear communication and meticulous execution. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are my utmost priorities.
“Super responsive and flexible as I booked a day care for my cat during my moving day. They even dropped my cat off after which was so helpful after a long day! Their dogs and kids were super playful with Josie who was a little nervous at first. Definitely would book again!”

“Laura & Charlie took amazing care of my dog during her first daycare!! I really appreciated how they invited us into their home for the M&G so we could see the space she will be hanging out in. They were respectful & accepting of my dogs triggers / stranger danger and followed our instructions for the initial intro. They respected her boundaries and took it slow. For the actual daycare, they sent multiple photo/video updates and had excellent communication. Laura & Charlie are loving dog people with an incredible home. Highly recommend!”

“I am new to this city and have an overprotective dog who is adjusting to city life. Jamie took very good care of him and kept me informed to help reduce my anxiety. I definitely plan to leave Rocket with Jamie for more time in the future.”

“River loved her doggy day care stay with Brian. The meet and greet before was helpful and greatly appreciated as well. Would highly recommend Brian to take great care of your fur baby!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles. I work from home. My pup and I go for a walk through the park or around the neighborhood first thing at 7:30 am and then usually breakfast is serve. We go back four our next walk at 11:30/12 then we go out again after work at 5pm. This one’s a longer walk and we follow that with play time and dinner. :) That is followed by cuddles. I will send you super cute updated images so you can see what fun your fur baby is up to :) . I also have a fenced small backyard incase your pup wants to do some light leash free jogging with me.
“Andrea and Jerome are great! They are easy to work with, and receptive to any requests. We can tell Cody enjoys his time with them, since it’s difficult to get him to leave! We would definitely book again.”

“Thank you Alina for taking care of Birdie , and being super flexible about our scheduling . You made everything really easy for us . Birdie came home tired and happy , perfect dog! I will definitely book again !”

“Sarah and Walter took great care of my little guy. He felt really comfortable there and made himself at home. He had a good time and became Walter's shadow and his new BFF. Thanks so much guys!”


“I need a pet sitter when my dog had a surgery and have to wear a cone . Camille took Benny on a short notice. He had a great time with her and her husband Joe . He came home happy and exhausted from playing and walking. I cannot thank her enough for all the love and care they provided Benny during his stay. We are lucky to have found her . I have already recommended her to my friends . Benny will sure come back.”

“It was Sunny’s first time at a sitter’s place and she was super nervous when we got there. Jonathon was great with her and she came back as happy as can be. Definitely will keep using Jonathon’s services. And he let us book last minute. Thank you!”

“Peter was AMAZING with my puppy, Milo! I can't say enough good things about Peter and the care he provided for my pup! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was more than just a daycare — it was a second home. Milo immediately felt comfortable, and I loved how welcoming and knowledgeable Peter was during drop-off. Throughout the day, I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It’s obvious that Peter genuinely loves dogs and treats each one like their own. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way after a full day of playing with Peter’s dog, Khalil! The space was clean, safe, and dog-friendly, and it’s clear that Peter pays close attention to each dog's personality and needs. We’ve officially found our go-to daycare! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Milo! I’m so happy to have found a daycare provider I can trust. 🐶💛”

Nelia took incredible care of Chester! She was so responsive and kept me updated throughout his stay with her. She created a playful environment and took him on several long walks in her beautiful neighborhood. She was truly excited to take care of him. He can't wait to stay with Nelia again. I know your dog will love her too!

My shy, anxious beagle had a blast at Valerie’s, didn’t want to come home! I appreciated Valerie’s patience, flexibility, and ability to be both laidback with my pup while also giving her space to indulge her zoomies. Plus, we got lots of pics throughout the day. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will use again!

Lauriann and Sven were so accommodating and supportive of our pup’s needs for doggy day care. They were responsive and communicative and followed our instructions and checked in and sent pics. So thankful for their gracious and loving care for our dog. Would definitely book with them again!

David hosted our Toki for last minute daycare so we can focus on family time during the holidays. He was very accommodating and my dog told me he had a wonderful time with him and Pinto. I'm grateful for him and looking forward to using his services again whenever I'm in town.

Tango seemed to have really enjoyed the day with Craig and his dogs. I was worried because he's been a little reluctant to be around some dogs lately, but he was so excited when I dropped him off with Craig and their pups, and was happy when I picked him up. Craig took him for a long walk and he explored Craig and Ashley's lovely backyard. He went to bed as soon as he came home (which is so nice for me!). Craig included a number of photos in Tango's report card - he looked very content. We'll definitely use Craig and Asley again for day care and hopefully boarding the future!
