Between having a private backyard dog run and lots of toys, you can tell Jordan is a dog lover who knows how to take care of them. My puppy Reese was happy and comfortable there, getting to play with little kids and another dog. He came home wiped out! Jordan sent several photos during his stay and communicates really well. Definitely recommend her for your pup!

We can't recommend Julia highly enough! She is caring, considerate and responsive. Our rescue dog has enjoyed doggy day care and weekly walks with her. We appreciate the peace of mind we have leaving our sweet friend in Julia's care.

About: We are a husband and wife team of animal lovers. My husband and I have 2 small children, 1 dog, and 1 cat. Though I typically run the account my husband is very involved in your pets care and we both love being able to help out others around us and share our love with your pets! I was born into a home full of animals. As a child we had 3 dogs(1medium/2large, 3 cats, and the random array of fish/turtles between me and my 6 siblings. As a teenager we had 2 dog(1small/1medium) and 1 cat. Now as an adult my family and I have 1 dog and 1 cat. I did have a senior (21 years old) cat that passed away in 2023 due to old age. We have a Labrador retriever and a black and white cat . My family and I love animals and helping people. I have cared for my own pets as well as the pets of my family and friends my whole life. I’m sure with detailed instructions I can help care for your furry loved ones! Our schedule is a bit crazy to some but is very reliable. My husband works for the fire department on a rotating schedule of 24 on 48 off. I work Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday// Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday as a rotating schedule as we work in EMS too. Almost always either myself or my husband is home to watch out 2 kids and our own animals. On the rare occasion our shifts line up (once or twice every few weeks) a sitter would come to my home to help with the kids if we are both gone. My availability is very open since my husband is usually home when I am not, and vise versa, your pet will get love around the clock! For our home: I have a 9.5 year old black lab golden retriever mix. A 2 year old cat. A 3 year old toddler and a 1 year old baby. We have baby gates to separate the living room from the kitchen and the living room from the hallway/bedrooms, as well as a gate the separate the laundry room from the kitchen.There are multiple barriers able to be used if needed for safety. The gates are wall mounted for increased safety. Since there is almost always an adult home we have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! We have a water bubbler that we have connected to the Alexa so we are able to turn it on and off for pets even if we are not home. We have a few parks around us that are just a short drive away for walks. We have a large metal cage that’s available if needed. We have a very large fenced yard with lots of room for running and exploring! We have cameras around the house in almost every room for security, safety, and to catch funny moments as well as a camera in the front and backyard. One camera is pointed at the dog cage as well for safety. For at your home: I will follow all acceptable and agreed upon rules and care for your pets the way that you tell me too! I will admit that sometimes I run a few minutes late due to having my 2 kids with me! But for short visits (potty breaks) I can keep them in the car if needed!

Barb took great care of our sweet fur baby! She sent us text and picture updates throughout the day, and we knew our pup was in good hands! Our dog socialized and made new friends with Barb’s two dogs. I recommend Barb and will use her next time we are in the area!

About: Your sweeties are in caring hands 💛 ✅ Experience with pets of all ages & personalities. ✅ Work from home: Attentive to strict care plan. ✅ Happy to assist with training/manners 🐾. As a pet owner of 35 years and a life-long animal lover, I’ve cared for my own puppies, kittens, and elderly pets over the years. Their quirky personalities have brought nothing but joy to our home! I’ve also cared for exotic littles such as snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters, gerbils, chameleons, ferrets, parakeets, Sun Conure Parrots and farm animals (chickens, pigs, horses, “farm sitting”)! Don’t hesitate to ask if you need additional help. We have 2 dogs of our own: One loves to socialize and play with our guests, while the other usually searches for the sunniest window in the house, to nap until the next potty/treat break. Working from home allows me to be attentive to strict potty/medication and walk/play schedules (if your pet is in need of a regimented care plan). I offer drop-in play dates, walks, back-yard potty/play dates and feeding/litter changes, based upon your instruction. I’m also able to host your pets in my home, if you need a sitter. Before booking boarding services with new clients, I request a meet & greet, so that I can get to know everyone and have a clear understanding of your pet’s personality and needs 😁!

It was a relief with all of our funeral planning taking place in Chicago, to know that Ms. Bernice was going to take care of Niko. This was his first time at any day care and it seems that this will help us as we work with him to socialize with other dogs. Overall, she was very cooperative, reliable and conveniently located to our hotel. We would use her services again.

About: I'm a dedicated and compassionate dog walker who truly cares about the well-being, safety, and happiness of every dog in my care. What sets me apart is a combination of my love for animals, responsibility, and attention to detail. I raised a sweet golden retriever for 14 years. I have a 7 year old golden, Gia, who is a trained service animal. She's intelligent, sweet, and one of a kind. I was an end of life companion to a loving senior dog, Romeo, the last two years of his life. I assisted with the healing of his cancer through undivided attention, and medical care for his special needs. I am truly dedicated to caring for animals through my love and devotion. I genuinely understand their personality and needs and treat all animals as my own. I've walked dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Communication is a priority. I keep pet owners informed, take photos, and leave all necessary updates. I look forward to working with your pet! I have a l flexible schedule. I am organized and can schedule times that best fit with the needs of my client base. I am open during the weekdays as well as weekends. I am open to caring for pets in my home, as well as pick ups for daily walks. I will speak with each client to organize what mutually works best.

About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dog walking, boarding, and pet sitting. My background in dog training allows me to confidently care for pets of all temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from dogs and cats to farm animals, and I treat every pet like family—focused on safety, routine, and lots of love. My schedule is very open and flexible, so I’m able to provide pet sitting, drop-ins, and dog walks at times that work best for you, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute needs. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours. I follow your pet’s routine closely—including feeding, walks, playtime, and any training cues—so they feel comfortable and secure. With my background in training, I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and individual needs to ensure a happy, stress-free experience.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I watch my parents dog when they are out of town also a friends two pups when she goes out of town. I’m currently only working as needed at my job and have extra free time during the day to take walks with your dog when they need let out or just some time to get out and get some exercise. I will always make sure your dog is on a leash and is safe inside and outside the home. If the dog needs to be in the crate before leaving that will also be done.

About: Got a cavalier when kids left 20 years ago and have been in love with and taken care of pups for family and friends ever since! I work part time as a sub at a local school lunchroom. Consequently, I have a good deal of time to do what I enjoy most, spending time with and caring for pups!! (and on occasion, cats!) I live in a lovely neighborhood with a nice balance of open space and paths for walks. My husband (also a dog lover) and I have a fenced yard and pup bowls and leashes and toys and even a small crate (from Harley) if your pup feels better taking a nap in it! (and he fits!)

Jordan was great, despite Nala being at daycare for the first time! No issues and she was attentive to sending pics and text when we asked her about Nala’s wellbeing. Nala has some anxiety and I felt Jordan dealt with that well. Overall, I would rebook her again!
