“My wife and I really adore Angela. She is extremely professional and caring towards our boys. We don’t look at them as pets, they are family members and this is exactly how Angela treated them. We were able to go away with the peace of mind that our boys and home were looked after and in good hands. Thank you Angela and we look forward to seeing you again. Kate & Derek”

He is my best friend and we do everything together from going to the beach and the dog park almost every day. I have two year old dog that I take everywhere and I have a 6 month old puppy who permanently lives with my family. They are best friends and your dog can join the party.

“Morgan took the best care of puppy golden doodle. He was flexible to our timing needed and went above and beyond to even stay at our house for us with her. He had wonderful communication, had true kindness and care for our little puppy and her puppy energy and he took incredible care of our home while we were away. He is trustworthy and absolutely the best choice for anyone needing someone reliable & honest. He gave our puppy the best love and attention. Hands down he’s the best for your family, home and loving pet! There’s no price on peace of mind and Morgan provides that!”

17. Haley M.
About: I have lived with dogs all my life. I love playing and cuddling with the sweet ones. Once I can I will be getting a dachshund or pitbull. When my neighbor of 2 years is out of town, I take care of his 2 pit bulls, both over 10 years old. I work Monday to Friday 8:30-5:30pm with an hour lunch starting at 12:30. If your house is close enough to my warehouse I will be able to visit them during my lunch hour. In my house, the pets are fully inside cats. We make sure to open blinds during the day so they have places to lie in the sun, which they love. They are dry food once a day and wet food every other day. Whatever the client needs to be done for the pet I will do to the best of my abilities.


18. James F.
“James (Jim) is kind and has a great time with my two dogs. He is responsible, trustworthy, and keeps in communication so you know what your pet is up to while you are away. My dogs are happy when "uncle Jim" is taking care of them and it is peace of mind for me.”


19. Meghan S.

“Meghan stayed with my dogs for 4 days while we were out of town for the holidays, last minute. She did a fantastic job, and I'd highly recommend her!! Her communication stood out from the beginning—she was quick to respond and provide helpful information. When we left, the dogs were immediately comfortable staying with her. Meghan had sent multiple updates throughout the day while we were gone. She's incredibly responsive, responsible, trustworthy, and great with animals. Would absolutely asked her to help out again and would highly recommend her!”

About: I have always had a special connection with animals, dogs especially, and grown up being called an animal whisper. Ive had dogs of all ages my whole life. I have experience with puppies, adults and senior dog care. Currently learning more and more about training dogs and using thoes techniques on my husky mix. Im all for giving your furry friends the care they deserve❤️I dont have any cats! I am currently working at an Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility in Yorkville and my shift is 6am-2pm. My schedule changes every other week. Although my boyfriend works the 3pm-11pm shift so someone is home most of the time. I am not totally free but I would be willing to work something out! My house has a front and back yard-not too big. We use a tie out for our dog and we have a few extras if needed for your dog! Me and my boyfriend live in a two bedroom duplex. Most areas of the house is dog proofed and we have plenty of toys for both to play with. My dog does really good with other dogs and loves to have company and a friend to play with. He is still younger so he can be hyper at first but will eventually calm down:)
