1. Gloria M.

“We have never felt so comfortable boarding any of our dogs as we have with Gloria and Mark. They treat your dog like family, and they give the best one on one attention that I have ever seen. They send pictures, have a wonderful set up for your dog with toys and treats, lounging and sleeping arrangements, and even neighbors who will come by and say hi. I cannot fully express just how amazing the experience is. Thank you so much for your kindness to us and to Summer.”


2. Annadel M.

“Annadel and her family treated my pup with such care! Our meet and greet went well and so I had no concerns going into our vacation. We got updates throughout the week, and our pup didn't seem stressed at all! Thanks for being so caring!”


3. Feiran L.


“Feiran was a pleasure to work with! We had never left our puppy alone before so we were very nervous about who to choose but feiran made our decision easy. She's very kind and gentle with animals! We felt very comfortable as she also sent pictures, videos, and updates. We would definitely have her take care of our puppy again :)”


4. Julie M.

“Julie was amazing with Clara! She sent many updates with pictures. Clara was a very happy girl at the end of her stay. Julie took the time to allow her to get comfortable and gave her so much love! We couldn’t have had a better experience!”


5. Caitlin R.


“Caitlin has so much patience and compassion with dogs! Our Lucy has stayed with her twice now. Most recently Lucy had been sick and still wasn’t feeling well when we took her over. Caitlin was able to get Lucy to start eating well again and encouraged her to interact with the other dogs. Caitlin is extremely organized and sends photos and texts regularly. She and her family seemed to enjoy cuddling with Lucy. We’ll definitely use Caitlin the next time we travel.”


6. Yijia & Junhui H.

“Took my Monroe to Urbana while I attended a conference there. Yijia & Junhu were the best. Sent me several pictures. They were so respectful and just the best. One of my best boarding experiences. Highly recommend. Would definitely use again”


7. Milo W.

8. Lluvya B.
“I have known Lluvya for several years and have always been impressed by their dedication and passion for animal care. Their experience includes volunteering at local animal shelters, where they provided compassionate care to a variety of animals. Lluvya's attention to detail ensures that each pet's unique needs are met, from administering medications to adhering to specific dietary requirements. Their calm and patient demeanor makes them particularly adept at handling animals with special needs or behavioral challenges. I wholeheartedly recommend Lluvya as a pet sitter; their professionalism and genuine love for animals make them an exceptional choice for anyone seeking reliable and loving care for their pets.”


9. Lauren M.

“Lauren and her family are fantastic. My dog seemed very content there and was obviously treated like one of the family. Will definitely be booking with Lauren again when the opportunity arises!”


10. Arianna F.
“Arianna is a responsible and loving pet caregiver who treats every pet as her own. She is attentive, kind, and ensures that pets are comfortable and well cared for. She clearly loves all animals and goes out of her way to make sure the pet and owner are satisfied. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”


11. Brooke R.

“I had my 3 month of kitten boarded with Brooke. She was amazing! My kitty got all her medications and meals on time, as well as playtime and enough love and attention. Brooke was really good at keeping me updated daily, sending me photos and videos of my kitty. She had been prompt at her responses and flexible in coordinating boarding times. I would definitely recommend her!”




12. Jamie I.

“Jamie and her family have been amazing for us and Julep. We will continue to book with her as long as possible. She is so flexible with our pick up and drop off. Julep always comes back happy and tired from a good time.”


13. Anne P.

“Ginger took to Anne right away. Anne keeps her place clean and safe for pets. She is responsive and accessible. I am glad Ginger had a good time with her. Thank you!”


14. Alexa N.

“Alexa took great care of our Sophie! We have used her before and will continue to use in the future. Thank you Alexa for taking such great care of our family pooch!”




15. Neal & Grazina M.
“First time using rover and I was very happy with Neal and Grazina. I was kept updated with multiple pictures per day and came back to a tired pup after a fun weekend of playing. I will definitely use these sitters again in the future!”


16. Ashley L.


“My high energy malinois who loves destroying everything in sight had a wonderful time with Ashley . Don’t know how she got him to behave so well, but she did and he loved being with her and Alina! 10/10 would recommend and will be sending Buster back anytime I need boarding or daycare.”


17. Rose P.

“She did so well with the dogs, the updates we received during their stay were amazing! She was so accommodating and we appreciated that so much, thank you again for taking them in for the weekend!”


18. Taylor H.
“Taylor is great with animals. She watched my dog while I was overseas, and took the best care of him. He had an emergency while I was gone, and Taylor took him to an emergency vet to make sure he was taken care of promptly. She is the only person I trust to care for my dog, she treated him as if he were her own.”


19. Elaine B.

“Lainey agreed to board my Golden and Aussie last minute and she did a phenomenal job! My Aussie does not like new people and struggles with severe anxiety and fear aggression. I was honest about his behaviors upfront and not once did she seem scared, which is so uncommon, even at dog boarding facilities. Because of her passion for animals, managing behaviors, and training, he had a successful stay and I could enjoy time away without worrying constantly. I can't begin to explain how freeing and relieving that was! I will be using Lainey in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Lainey!! You are such a blessing!”


20. Melissa R.

“It looks like Charlotte had an amazing time with Melissa and her dog. Melissa was very friendly and careful during the entire process and made us feel confident and safe leaving our baby with her. 10/10!”
