“Sofia was an absolute godsend. She's incredibly dependable, professional and kind. And it's a bonus that she's a vet tech. I had never left my dog with a stranger before, so I was nervous about leaving her for a weekend. But Sofia was so communicative and responsive that my anxiety quickly vanished. I will 100% user her again.”
“Booked this for the first time and was a bit apprehensive. Let me say michelle was awesome! She sent us regular updates and every pic looked like Stella was having an absolute blast. We felt at ease knowing our pet was well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Ray and Sherry were absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very nervous and timid and they were extremely knowledgeable and understanding with her throughout the entire process. They did not force themselves onto her and waited until she was comfortable for closer interaction. We received many updates with photos which allowed us to relax while we were on vacation to know our dog was being well taken care of. The environment was clean and calm and we felt comfortable leaving our dog there. Our dog came home and did not seem "traumatized" as she has been with other boarding experiences in the past. Communication throughout the process was great. When we need to board our dog again, we will absolutely use them in the future. We are so thankful.”
“Terwrin was great. She kept me informed on Maggie’s stay and sent pictures. Maggie had a great time and loves miss Terwrin also. Highly recommend. I will definitely be a repeat customer. ??”
“Omg, I can not rave enough about the care that our pup received from Christina and her amazing family! They treated Koda like their own. And we received several photos and feedback the 9 days we were away. They put a smile on my face every time. 10/10 recommend!!!”
“Friendly, warm household, took incredible care of our pup, and stayed in constant contact with us to make sure our minds were at ease. If you're looking for a pet sitter, you've officially found her.”
“The entire experience from scheduling the doggie sleepover to pickup was fantastic!! At drop off Celeste and her husband were welcoming to both myself and my dog Eddie. Soon after drop off I received pictures of Eddie playfully Interacting with their two dogs. Later I received pictures and video of Eddie lounges in the living room. The pictures really helped me relax and enjoy my weekend away, knowing Eddie was in great hands!!”
“Peggy was great with Peter, our cat. He is very shy and by the end of his stay, he was rolling around like he does at home and allowing her to brush him. He was very quick to become calm/happy during his stay, and I know it was due to her kindness and patience with him. She also was very communicative with me, and would send me lots of pictures of Peter! I would book with her again 100%!”
“Ashley is such a blessing to our family. She created such a loving bond with our pup! Our dog was always so well cared for and adore spending time with Ashley. I highly recommend her!! Don't hesitate to book this excellent pet sitter!!!”
“Michael obvious love of animals (and people) was very apparent as I met with him prior to my dogs’ boarding and then throughout their stay with him. His daily messages and photos were very much appreciated. The care my senior dogs were receiving was very very important. They also clicked well with Michael’s own dog Harper.”
“Jacob had great communication and took great care of our dogs. They seemed happy and relaxed during their stay and came home happy and tired. We are looking forward to using Jacob again!”
“Melanie was so great with Opal. She made us feel so comfortable at the meet and greet, was flexible with drop-off times, and provided pictures and updates. She was also very understanding when Opal was more than a little curious about her cat! Her dog, Georgi, is a big, fluffy sweetie, too!”

About: I have experience watching all types of doggos and kittys. Also all ages, I know the older ones take lots of care and comfort. I also have experience with larger animals like horses and cows.

I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior cats, from barn animals to guinea pigs. I truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and well cared for—whether they’re curled up on the couch or running in the pasture. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every animal like they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule! I have a few short trips planned throughout the summer before I go back to college in August, other than that I am there when you need me! I care for my own pets with their specific needs, my dogs go on car rides every day, baths every few weeks, my horses get fly spray, supplements, fly boots, all the extras, my cats are mostly outdoor but still get all the love when they are at the house. As for my clients home, I treat it as if it were my own, I have had to feed supplements, do special care for food, etc. So I am pretty much prepared for anything!

We have two fluffy friends of our own (Corby & Molly) who get along well with other animals!

“Jen was fantastic with Olive! He loved playing with her dogs and swimming. He was absolutely exhausted that evening and the next day from all the fun (which is no small feat for a working cocker!). Jen was super responsive and gave great updates throughout the day! We will definitely be sending Olive to stay/play with Jen again!”
About: “Unlike many sitters, I’m home all day which means your dog gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I maintain a peaceful, structured home environment and only take a limited number of dogs to ensure each one receives personalized love and supervision.” “Being home full-time allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Your dog will be included in our day with regular walks, playtime, and constant supervision in a relaxed, loving home environment “Dogs in my care enjoy a spacious, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood ideal for stress-free walks, and I’m located less than a mile from Loxley Municipal Park for extra activity and enrichment opportunities.”

“I have never left my small dogs with anyone or a doggie day care before. I am so thankful I found Sherry and Ray. They totally made my dogs feel at home and was very communicative from the start. It was a pleasure to do a meet and greet before the big day and to see their lovely dog friendly home and fenced in backyard. My dogs had a blast and enjoyed playing and hanging out with the other dogs. I felt very calm leaving them for the day and was so excited to go pick them up. I would highly recommend to board your small dogs and they would be safe and in very good care.”
“Lindsey and her family are absolutely awesome! They have a clean, safe, and fun home, and they genuinely care about the dogs they host. I felt 100% confident sending my dog to daycare with them, and I plan to continue using their services every week.”
“Kristin's care is like home away from home. We could tell that it was a good experience as Bella had a very waggy tail :) Will reach out again when we need daycare or an overnight stay!”

I love to care for animals & can't wait to meet yours! :) I’m currently unemployed so I’ll have plenty of time for your dogs! We just moved into our house so we don’t have a fence at the moment.

About: Hi my name is Alexis, I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years now and love getting to care for others dogs when they are away. I’m a stay at home mom and a full time student so our typical day when we are watching someone’s dog is going for two walks a day and play inside/ outside the home. I have a two year old who adores dogs so your companion must be good with children. Upon choosing us to watch your dog or dogs we ask that you bring their food/water bowls, leash, and their toys if they have any. I’m am a stay at home mom so taking care of my daughter and you dog would fit Nicely into our routine. We typically go for walks and work in the garden in the backyard, so your pet will get plenty of time outside with us. When dogs stay with us they typically are able to roam the house freely. At night I do crate your dog as we have had dogs in the past chew furniture out of anxiety separation from their owner.
“Christina was amazing & I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! Winnie had so much fun & came home exhausted! She kept me informed all day long, we will definitely be using again!”
About: I have had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up taking care of our family dogs and would occasionally dog sit for others. I am able to give your dog the care they need in order to be comfortable and enjoy their time while you are away. I am currently a student at USA. I am home most of the day, when I am not in class. I live 4 minutes from campus so your dog will never be left alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I only have class once a day. I have a fenced in back yard and a golden doodle of my own that is very playful and gets along with other dogs very well. We go on walks daily and have lots of playtime.

I am a college student home for the summer and I am working a part time job 20 hours per week at Lake Forest Racquet Club. Therefore, I have a very flexible schedule as I usually only work from 7 A.M. to 12 P.M. four days a week. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, structure, and stimulation. In a client’s home, I strictly follow all instructions and respect their space while maintaining a calm and clean environment for the pet.

About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home Away From Home! 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most important part of what I do, and I strive to make every visit safe, fun, and stress-free. I encourage meet-and-greets for new clients whenever possible so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone is comfortable before their stay. Boarding Boarding takes place in my home, where your pet will be part of our daily life not left alone in a kennel. I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾

About: Hi! My name is Lianna and caring for dogs is truly something I love. I have over 5 years of experience fostering and working with dogs, and I’m also comfortable with basic training and handling dogs with different personalities. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from tiny 5 lb pups to large 100+ lb dogs—and I’m comfortable with all breeds. Because of my fostering experience, I’m used to reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe, calm, and comfortable in new environments. When your dog is with me they will get: • Lots of love and attention • Safe, attentive care • Plenty of playtime and potty breaks • A calm and comfortable environment I treat every dog like they are my own, and my goal is always to make sure both you and your pup feel happy and stress-free while you’re away. Your baby will be in caring and experienced hands with me! Since we recently moved here for my husband’s military assignment, I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, and your pup will never feel like they’re being squeezed in between other commitments. I live in a large, dog-friendly two-bedroom apartment with a dog park right downstairs, as well as a large park and walking trail just up the street. This makes it easy to give dogs plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. Throughout the day I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playtime, and (with your permission) trips to the dog park so they can burn off energy and have fun. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship, making sure your dog feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 5 years of experience fostering and working with dogs of all sizes and breeds, I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and making sure each dog feels calm and secure in a new environment. My home is a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where dogs can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive about supervision, safe walks, and proper introductions with other dogs if we visit the dog park. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, training routines, or special needs. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and relaxed knowing your pup is in good hands.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one bringing home and caring for animals that needed extra love and attention. I even wanted to become a veterinarian — but my heart is just a little too soft when it comes to animals. Caring for pets isn’t just a side job for me — it genuinely makes me happy. I truly love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Your dog won’t just get a quick visit — they’ll get someone who genuinely enjoys being there. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and potty breaks every few hours. Your dog’s routine and comfort will always be a priority. I currently offer drop-in visits and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to stop by every few hours if needed. During each visit, I make sure your pet gets potty breaks, fresh water, feeding (if needed), and plenty of playtime and attention. I truly love spending time with dogs — whether that’s playing fetch, going for a short walk, or just giving belly rubs and keeping them company. I always follow your pet’s routine closely to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m very clean and respectful of your home and treat every space as if it were my own. My goal is to make sure you come home to a happy pet and peace of mind.
“My wife and I are so grateful to have Jaclyn as Lola’s dog walker. Jaclyn provides a level of care that feels like a family member whenever she’s with Lola. Jaclyn is very patient and gentle with Lola. My wife and I can tell from the photos. Lola is always happy to see Jaclyn. If you want a dog walker who will treat your pet with the same love and attention you do. I highly recommend Jaclyn”

I currently work full time from home. So I have open availability 7 days a week majority of the time long as I know at least a couple of hours a head of time. I do have a yard with a fence. I do not live near a very busy road so we do have daily walks. I am able to crate the pet if needed. I do have two pets that are crated trained.
About: I have been raised around dogs my entire life and as a pet owner myself I understand the desire to have someone with valid experience to watch your fur baby for you. For the last two years I managed an animal rescue and fostered while overseas. While in my home, your pet will have a separate room to play and sleep until they are comfortable and they will have a safe, fenced yard and friends to run around with. Safety and fun are the top priorities while your baby is in my care. I work remotely from home as a writer, giving me ample time to be home with and care for your fur baby. I can walk with them and entertain them as you would like and then pet and love on them immediately after. I have a fenced in yard, as well as a separate room set-up to house your pet. I also have extra kennels, litter boxes, food bowl and leashes, so that if kenneling or extra supplies are needed, I am always ready.
“I cannot say enough good things about James! From day one, he was dependable, kind, and truly cared for my dog, Penny. I was recovering from surgery and needed someone I could fully rely on, and James showed up for us every single time—three walks a day, rain or shine. He was always on time, incredibly responsible, and treated Penny with so much love and patience. It didn’t take long before I could see how much my dog adored him. James also brought a warm, friendly energy that made the whole experience stress-free for me. Having someone I could trust so completely with my dog during such a tough time was a huge relief. If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional but also genuinely kind and sweet with dogs, James is the one. He went above and beyond, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who needs top-notch care for their dog. Truly excellent service!”

“Terri is absolutely amazing. This was our first time using Rover and we were hesitant with leaving our baby with a stranger but that was quickly resolved after speaking with Terri, who even offered a meet & greet a few days prior to the booking. She is very quick and responsive to our questions and sent pictures and videos of our frenchie enjoying his time with her. She also has a pup named Zeus who is the chillest and sweetest dog ever. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”
