“We booked with Laura and Ryan twice now. Our older dog has a bad knee and accommodations for made for her. Our little energetic dog came back tired and happy.”


“We went on a vacation for an extended time and June provided an excellent service so we could enjoy our time without any concerns. She sent us the pictures with brief details everyday and we could definitely tell that our dog has been in a good hand at the end of the stay. We definitely want to be a regular. Thank you!”


“She did such an amazing job I don’t even know where to begin!!! She was punctual and took such good care of our dog. She was always in contact with list of updates and videos for our family as this was our first time away from our puppy. She did amazing work and I will absolutely be recommending her to everyone that I know!!!”


“Great communication, one of my dogs is quirky and she was very patient with him. She has a beautiful large fenced in yard for animals to run around and play. They had a wonderful time staying the week.”


“We felt secure and confident leaving our dog, River, with Carolyn for a little bit over than 2 weeks. Carolyn was very nice and patient, takes River out for walks and swimming. She sends us frequent updates and pictures and we love these updates especially since we miss our pup when we’re away. River is home now and may be a little bit sad since her stay with Carolyn seemed like a fun pup vacation. 😆”


“John and his wife Kathy go over and above to create a comfortable environment for our dogs. They boarded them for two weeks and we got regular reports. We never had to worry about our two dogs, other than to worry if they’d ever want to leave John and Kathy’s! I cannot recommend them highly enough!”



“Stella and her lovely family were absolutely wonderful with our guy. They were of course very much experienced and knowledgeable. They provided daily feedback and were very responsive to any messages. Highly recommend and would come back!”


“Barb, was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Our dog is a picky eater and she even went as far as feeding him out of her hand to make sure he was eating enough. We couldn’t have asked for a better care taker for our fur baby. Will definitely book again!”



“Very happy with your service Jessica! Macie wears a special tracking collar so we don't ever lose her. But we can see she must have had good walks and play time with 30k steps the first day she 31k the 2nd day. The only other time we boarded her was at a professional kennel where she had a max of 800 steps for one day. So huge difference. Thank you! The pics were greatly appreciated as well! Would definitely recommend you.”


“Debbie & Tom are wonderful! They love Cooper like he is their own and are great about sending us pictures of him each day. They took such good care of our dog that we didn’t have to worry at all. We will definitely have Cooper stay with them again. 🐾”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—starting on a small pleasure farm where I helped raise everything from dogs and cats to goats and ducks. As I got older, I worked with licensed rehabbers to help raise and release wildlife, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Today, I’m a stay-at-home dad who homeschools our two children, and together we care for our two dogs and any pup who joins our home. We’re home all day, giving your pet constant attention, playtime, and supervision. Whether your dog loves backyard games, cozy nap spots, or peaceful walks, we tailor their care to make them feel safe and loved. We’re also experienced with: • Puppy routines and potty training • Gentle senior dog care • Medication administration (oral/topical) • Helping nervous or shy dogs settle in We treat every dog like family—with kindness, patience, and lots of tail-wagging fun! Pet care is a natural part of our everyday life! As a stay-at-home dad who homeschools, I’m home throughout the day and able to provide constant care and attention. We start the day with outdoor playtime and a walk, followed by plenty of interaction, rest, and supervised backyard fun. Since our schedule is flexible and we don’t leave the house for work or school, your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Whether it’s weekday or weekend, we’re here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family—every single day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At our home, pets are treated like family and are always supervised. We have a fully fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood where dogs can run, play, and relax safely. Our home is dog-friendly, with plenty of space to rest, play, and be part of our daily routine. We keep a calm, structured environment—ideal for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I follow any care instructions you provide closely, including feeding, medication, crate routines, and walk preferences. We only accept a small number of dogs at a time to ensure each one gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. You can trust that your pet will be in kind, capable hands with someone who truly understands and respects animals.


“Maisy liked being with Kathleen and John - She came home happy and bouncing and her very own self. Kathleen and John are a wonderful couple who loved and cared for our Maisy for the time that we were gone. They gave us the peace of mind not to have to worry about our little one.”


About: I was raised on a farm, love animals and will take care of yours as if they were my own! They will always have love! I have recently lost my full time position and now I am open to all day, every day, any day to help with your fur baby needs! I have a fenced in yard for your dog needs! I have multiple litter boxes for your cat needs. I will treat your babies with the utmost love and respect!

“Jill and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and treated him as their own. They were attentive to his needs as a senior dog, including giving oral medicine. I could tell he was well brushed and cared for when I picked him up. Her large yard was perfect for him. Jill had clearly gotten attached to him. She was always very responsive whenever I texted. I would book with Jill again.”


About: It all started when I was 5 and my sister and I convinced our animal loving parents to add to our family, we got a golden retriever puppy and a kitten in the same year. I have never lived a day without a pet in 35 years! I have open availability. I have 2 smaller dogs and a parrot. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for walking furry friends. Ricky and Lucy (cavapoos) love a good slumber party :) I do not have a fenced in yard. My pups know the perimeters. I do take leashed potty breaks and walks with pup visitors. I am familiar with "runners" and an capable of making sure that doesn't happen!

About: I’ve been blessed to have dogs as pets throughout my life and have never met a dog I didn’t like. Your dog will be taken care of like it’s my own while respecting your requests or routines. I’m often the go-to person for dog-sitting with friends and family. My experience has been with various dog breeds and ages all the way from puppies to seniors. I love them all! I work weekdays (school hours) but, being an active person myself, your dog will get regular excercise through daily walks and frequent playtime. Your dog will receive lots of love and attention in my home. I will also do my best to be consistent with your dog’s routines so they feel safe and comfortable. I have a clean, fenced yard that provides ample space for running around or playing fetch. I’ll also take your dog on daily walks around our dog-friendly neighborhood or nearby forest preserve. Your dog will be free to roam around the house unless you prefer that he/she is crated.

“Anzhalika and her family were phenomenal hosts for our little Rhubarb. Her sons took Rhu for walks, sent us pictures both days and gave us updates on how she was adjusting. They agreed to have a meet and greet a week before to make sure this was a good fit for everyone and we are so grateful for this wonderful experience. We highly recommend Anzhalika and her family to host your fur babies. Thank you, again!”


“JoAnne is the best! She provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. Ralph had a blast with the whole family and was spoiled with Hunny play time and snuggles. We will continue to come back to JoAnne as long as she provides the service. Thank you!”



“Jill was fantastic with our two playful pups! She was very easy to work with and responds to messages quickly. She has a great fenced in yard, our dogs were worn out by the time we got them home! She has a passion for animals and lots of experience under her belt. I would definitely recommend her!”
