“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”

“Angela is simply wonderful. She took excellent care of our 13 year old Pit Bull mix while we were on our two week vacation. Our dog wasn’t used to being away from us that long and since he had always received a lot of attention and care, we were worried about finding someone who would take just as good care of him. From the moment we met Angela, we felt completely at ease. Her warm, positive attitude immediately reassured us, and she wasn’t fazed at all by our dog’s hip issues and reduced mobility. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was extremely well cared for, and we are so grateful to Angela for the love and attention she gave him. We would absolutely choose her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”


“Andrew helped watch my dog, Lucy, during a recent trip I had. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process with drop off and pickup, and sent great photos throughout the stay to keep me comfortable regarding how Lucy was doing. Would absolutely book with him again.”

“Kim did a great job with our dog Georgia! Georgia has lots of quirks and Kim managed them well. She was communicative, and sent photos and updates without me having to ask for them. Georgia was safe, happy, and relaxed when we brought her home. Thanks Kim and Tom!!”

“Ashlee is absolutely amazing! She provided us with adorable pictures and updates during Boscos stay; we will definitely be requesting future sittings and sending friends her way!”

“What can I say about Yolanda? She is simply amazing. I call her the dog whisperer. My little Sherrie can be very shy and nervous around strangers, but she took to Yolanda right away. Yolanda sent me pictures every day and my little dog was smiling. And when I came to pick her up, I can tell she wasnt stressed. Of course, she was happy to see me but I can tell that she had a wonderful time if you're on the fence about booking Yolanda, don't be. She has wonderful energy and so does her husband. I look forward to dropping off Sherrie for playdates in the future.”


“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”

“Ester was great with Zeus. Zeus is very energetic, and had a wonderful time. I was sent videos of him during his stay. Will definitely book with Ester again.”

“Gabriel treated our dog like his own. He took him out for many walks per day and my dog loved playing with his cute little one! He was super communicative and sent us updates every day. We won't hesitate to book with Gabriel again.”


“Ashley and her family did an excellent job watching my two pups. Both seemed to be enjoying themselves while I was away. I got updates and pictures periodically so I was always in the know of what they were up to. Ashley was accommodating with time drop off and pick up. I appreciate the time and love you spent with my babies.”


“Guap loved his stay at MJ's place. He did a good job of talking care of him. Started off a little wild during the initial meet cause my dog is a handful but it was a good overall experience all and all. ”

“Willow had a great time! Laura took great care of her and sent a photo every day. She got along well with Diesel, and she ate all her food, which means she was very comfortable at Laura’s house. Knowing she was doing well allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. We will definitely book Laura again!”

“Angel and Little Man always have a great time. Easy scheduling, great response times, and my pups are exhausted from playing when they get home. Thanks !”

“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”

“Great sitter when I needed it last minute on my move from Florida! Sent updates/videos/pics! Great big yard for dogs to play. Highly recommend! Thanks again Monique!”

About: Hi there! We are recently new residents to Milwaukee and the Lower East Side and we would love to make some new friends in the neighborhood! We have gained a lot of experience caring for a variety of different pets in Chicago for over a year on Rover before our move. Personally, both of our families owned dogs & cats throughout each of our childhoods which has given us a natural experience with pets as well. We look forward to the opportunity to meet your beloved dogs & cats! BOARDING CLIENTS: We have recently opened our services for boarding dogs in our apartment! I work remotely 5 days a week at home so your dog will have no shortage of attention and care! We are deeply considering getting our own dog soon, so we’re treating every boarding guest like our test run! Your pup will get all the love, structure, and attention we’re practicing for our future family member—plenty of walks, play, cuddles, and a calm apartment to call home while you’re away! Please ask us any questions you may have! Andrew works fully remote 5 days a week and the nature of my job is very flexible so I am able to step out if needed/when requested. Taylor is fully in office but may occasionally be available. Additionally, we’re particularly looking to use some of our free time we have on the weekends to care for some pets together! We want to earn your trust that your animals are safe with us, and respect your home & privacy in doing so. Kindly communicate your preferences and your pet’s needs so we can make sure we’re doing everything we can to facilitate a comfortable experience for you and your pet from start to finish!

“Auria did a great job taking care of our 7 month old lab puppy. It was the first time we had used a service like this and were a little nervous, but Auria did a wonderful job communicating with us and sending pictures to update us during our dog's stay with her. Our dog also had a great time playing with Auria's dogs - as a puppy I think this worked out particularly well as our dog was able to get more time socializing with other dogs than she does as an only dog at home. We would not hesitate to use Auria again for a homestay!”

“Marilynn was UNBELIEVABLE with my dog!! He’s a difficult rescue and she was aware of it, but gave him a chance. He doesn’t tolerate other dogs, but by the end of his 24 hour stay he was playing in the yard with several other dogs (all larger than him). I was in shock. She is truly the dog whisperer and I’d trust Todd with her any time. Thank you so much, Marilynn!!!! You truly do love pets. ❤️”

Evita was so amazing and the dogs and I loved her! I couldn’t have imagined a better person to love and take care of my dogs for over a week! She shared loving pictures and videos of their time together multiple times a day! They came home so content and happy 😃 Thank you Evita so very much ❤️

Mika is awesome. She is trustworthy and skilled in relating to my dog who was immediately comfortable at our meet and greet. Mika sent pictures during my trip and reassured me that everything was cool. I am so glad we connected and I will be reaching out to her again without a doubt.

Ethan and Sara were amazing! They took fantastic care of our dog, Auggie. A super responsive, thoughtful, and caring couple. They kept us updated while we were on our trip, asked great questions, and kept Auggie exercised (his favorite thing to do), happy, and comfortable. Would recommend 🌟 and look forward to another opportunity to have them dogsit for us!

Angie was great to work with. Despite my dog Jozzie’s quirks and mannerisms she was bow to make her feel at home and comfy. I also appreciated the photos she took of Jozzie lounging around in their spacious back yard on the river ! Thanks Angie. I hope you can take care of Jozzie in the future!

Flor was such an amazing sitter for our pups! We needed someone to care for our girls while we went to summerfest and I’m so glad we found her. She was very communicative and proactive with our dogs, and mentioned many things she does for dogs that are above and beyond, like rolling up a towel with treats or food (which is something we do at home with ours but have never asked or mentioned to a sitter previously). I was worried about our girls, especially our older one, because Flor and her partner were watching them during an extreme heat wave, but they took such great care and only took them out very late, and even prepared frozen fruit for them (they didn’t eat any apparently but at least they had the option!). As soon as I dropped our dogs off, we got very sweet pictures of them cuddling on the couch, and lots of videos and pictures over the 24 hour stay. I would absolutely have Flor watch our girls again! Thank you so much for taking them into your home!

Emily was incredible! We left our pup with her for over a week as we travelled for a vacation. Leela received so much attention and care from her! Emily also sent us regular updates and communication was easy and smooth. Thank you so much Emily for caring for her so well :)

Agustin was amazing! He was able to take Ryder last minute, and helped coordinate with my mom when I was across the country and plans changed. He was very responsive and quick to messages. He was very flexible and allowed me to pick up my dog late in the evening. Ryder was happy and tired when he came home. Agustin was able to accommodate mh is needs dog, staying with him the entirety of his stay as he has separation anxiety. He was able to give him multiple walks, and lots of time with his pup Ziggy. Ziggy and Ryder seemed to bond and enjoy playing and elf ing time together. Ryder can be a barky boy, but he was accepting of him and still let him people watch through his beautiful, giant window. I would definitely rebook with Agustin if needed in the future.

Megan has been incredible! She treats our dog cooper like her own. They have gone to dog parks, boat rides, beer gardens, runs, and more! Her golden doodle, Sunny, is best friends with Cooper and they play so well with each other! She always sends pictures and updates which we love. We have also used Megan for walks and she is punctual and always takes pictures!
