“Nazish was great! She provided me with photos and updates regarding how my dog was doing during the boarding. Overall, I had a great experience with her and plan to book with her for pet sitting in the future!”
“Kira was excellent with our dog, Jojo. I don't think Jojo wanted to come back home after her stay with Kira. Kira provided daily photos of our dog. All in all Kira is wonderful and will do great with any pet. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. When I was in high school, my family hosted dogs of all sizes, including one of my favorites, a Burnese Mountain Dog named Ruby. Lately I've had the chance to watch my brother's two dogs (as seen in my bio pics) when he travels. I work a semi-active full time job over the week, with plenty of energy to spare when I'm not working. I am fully available over the weekends from Friday evening straight through to Sunday! I also am free on weekdays for walks or drop-ins as long as it's before 7:30 am or after 5 pm. Your dog will stay in a cozy, smoke-free condo where they are welcome on the furniture and bed. While I don't have a yard, I love taking long, frequent walks around the neighborhood. For their comfort and safety, I host one family at a time and ask that owners provide the dog's preferred bed or crate if possible
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“We are very grateful for Tina. She bonded wonderfully with our little "special needs" chihuahua mix. He came home happy, healthy, tired -in the good way from walking, well balanced, and without any separation axiety. Hooray Tina!”
“Maricela was very patient with my dog and did her best to make him feel comfortable and happy. She always provided me with updates when I asked and even when I didn’t request it. I felt comfortable that she was taking care of my boy. I highly recommend her and will rebook in the future.”
“Sonia provided us with pics and texts to allow us to keep up with how Misha was handling being left home when we needed to travel out of state. Misha who is housebroken and loves all human contact, didn't accept being left behind and presented Sonia with challenges that we never anticipated, taking out her unhappiness on her. Sonia rose to the challenge questioning us on how to handle her behaviors and ruling out any suspected health issues as causes. Misha was well cared for and I have no reservations recommending Sonia as a dog boarder.”
“Roberto and his family took great care of Oreo.Gave her lot of attention and love.She is a sensitive dog and they were very patient with her. They shared updates and photos every day.Thank you Roberto for taking good care of Oreo.”
“My guy gets so hype when he sees we're pulling into Olivia's neighborhood and she always takes great care of him. Very grateful to have someone I can fully trust with my guy when I need to go somewhere that he can't come with.”
“Lori was very professional and made me feel at ease even though I had recent bad experiences at "boarding facilities" but Lori made both my dog and I feel so comfortable”
“They took a great care of our dog and we appreciated their sincere love for our dog. They sent us many updates with photos every day we were away. I recommend them to anyone. Thank you very much for taking care of our dog like your own.”
“Our pups were very well looked after and Tosha was very accommodating. You can tell she has a connection with dogs and knows how to take care of them. I highly recommend Tosha for your dog sitting needs!”
“"Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Arizona. I was very satisfied with the care she received and greatly appreciated the updates, feedback, and pictures while I was away. When I picked her up, she seemed so happy and content, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It's clear she was well cared for, and I know she'll be in great hands when I book with you again in the future. Thank you for everything!"”
“Penny looked after Ginger as a trial night before we go on a longer trip this summer. I could tell Ginger had a blast and Penny is very caring with the dogs. I’m not concerned with leaving my pup with Penny when I have to be gone this summer. Thank you Penny and Ginger and I will see you again soon!”
“I had never boarded my little 13 year old dog. When I had my Meet and Greet with Eric, Mollie jumped up next to him and cuddled. I knew then that she picked Eric. I was gone for a week over the 4th of July and Eric took amazing care of her even with the fireworks. As far as I am concerned I will never leave her with anyone else when I need a sitter.”

“This is the first time I have left my cat alone since I got him last October 1,so I was a little nervous to do so. I selected Cynthia after only one review because her profile was what sold me on her. I can confirm that my choice was the best thing I did. She was the most professional sitter, very timely in all communication before booking and during the care period. To me the most important thing is the pet and sitter bond while away and she nailed it. I have already booked my next request for next May, and you should to.”
“Brianna did great caring for our cat while we were away. She paid great attention to detail and took notes on everything we went over. The cat was fed daily, water was kept clean, litter box(es) scooped, and all areas were kept very clean. In addition to taking great care of the cat, Brianna was willing to also check on our frog and maintain his waterfall and water bowl, which was a great extra bit of help. We received great photos of both the cat and the frog daily. We would absolutely trust her to care for our pets again in the future.”
About: I believe in cat exercise, it looks different than regular exercise. Cats benefit from brain stimulation, so playing and constant interaction will 100% be apart of your cats routine with me! I have 2 cats myself and I love playing with them.
“Nathalia took wonderful care of my cat, SunTie! She was very responsible, kind, and attentive, and followed his care instructions carefully. I really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing SunTie was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Nathalia and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“Madeline took such great care of our two cats while we were out of town. She was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and kind throughout the entire stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She kept us updated regularly, was very responsive, and clearly went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and well cared for. We came home to two happy, relaxed kitties—which says everything. I would absolutely book with Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Taylor was very responsive and helpful, keeping me posted on changes, updates, and how my pets were responding to her in our absence. I would absolutely use her again on future trips, she was very warm and pleasant, and flexible, when we needed, including changing visits, or pick up times, And that flexibility allowed us to have an amazing family vacation. Thanks Taylor for all you do!”
“Kate was amazing taking care of our kitty and made fast friends with him. She is very reliable and responsible in all aspects of cat care. She sent us lot of great pictures and let us know how he was doing each day. We were happy our kitty was in a such good hands. We will definitely be using Kate again. :-)”
“We highly recommend Caroline and are very thankful for her services! Her daily drop-in visits with our cat Emmy made all the difference while we were gone for a week. Caroline's professionalism made our first Rover booking a real pleasure, and her low rates leave plenty of room for a nice tip--considering the expense of other alternatives. Emmy really enjoyed her time with Caroline, she loved her new friend's attention, taking care of her daily needs and giving her the playtime she so craves. We all look forward to booking with Caroline again soon!”
“Erika did such a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. Super grateful for her quick response when I booked last minute too! I have already scheduled with Erika for my summer plans. Thank you Erika!”
“Sara was fantastic! She took great care of our cat, sent regular updates and photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend her and would happily book with her again.”
“Mya is so wonderful and is my go-to sitter for my elderly cat! I had so many issues with dates and times this last work trip and she made the process of having to make changes to the booking so easy and less stressful! It is great knowing my cat is so well taken care of when I have to be away!”
“Paula did a great job with our two babies. We loved that she came onboard at the very last minute to help us. I tipped her, in gratitude, at the beginning. She’s terrific!!”
“Megan was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure everything was perfect. It's obvious she genuinely loves animals, and they loved her right back. We came home to happy cats and a well-cared-for home, which means the world to us. I wouldn't hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional sitter. Thank you, Megan, for everything!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bartlett
“Kristina was amazing! Her home is fully dog-proof, safe, and clearly designed with dogs in mind. She’s caring, attentive, and trustworthy—I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend her doggy daycare!”
About: I've been around pets me whole life. I have always loved dogs of all sizes. My parents owned Shih Tzus since I was a kid and I was constantly around close family members' German Shepherds as well. I've done drop-ins countless times over the years for cats of friends and family. Now along with my husband, we live with our dog, Melon, and our cat, Amy. Melon is a 50lb 1-year-old mix breed, and Amy is an 11-year-old senior cat. They can be hectic and they keep us on our toes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! When your pets are in my care, I'll always treat them with all the love and adoration I give my own. I am currently between full-time jobs, so my schedule tends to be open and very flexible for caring for your pets, whether it be on weekdays or the weekend. For pet care at your home, I will prioritize sticking to whatever routine keeps you and your pets comfortable and happy! I know how stressful it can be when family members aren't home, and will do whatever your pets need to know that they are safe and loved even in your absence. If your dog comes to stay at my house, you can take comfort in knowing they'll have access to a fully fenced back yard to run and play in, so they are secure and entertained. My dog, Melon, LOVES other dogs and nothing would make her happier than a new friend coming over to hang out with her.
“Sadie had a great day with Valentina! Our "get acquainted" day was a success. Thank you so much! We are looking forward to Sadie's next weekend stay with Valentina in a few weeks!”
“Dave has been amazing. We have used his services already a few times and will keep doing it. He has shown professionalism taking care of our dog and also he has been very flexible on schedule. Definitely we recommend him.”
“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”
“Olivia is awesome! She is hands down the best sitter we have ever had for Rocky. She is very friendly, accommodating, flexible, and caring! You can tell she cares about her pets and she makes your pet hers for the time being! We always use her when possible!”
“April took time to really make sure Beausarge got comfortable on his first visit. She went over his training commands and took him for a walk. He can be a little high needs and she took great care of him. We will definitely be using April again.”
About: I have had dogs most of my life. From my childhood dog to the ones I raised as an adult. I have potty-trained dogs to use a bell to indicate they have to go out, taught them to back away from table food, and to give up stolen items. I will treat your dog lovingly and as if they are my own. I am mostly retired and home the majority of the day. The dog will go no longer than 4 hours without a potty break, and most days it will be shorter than that. Your pet will be the only one in the house with me. I block off my stairs so the dog is always very close and mostly within eyesight.
“This was Olive’s first visit. Since she is a puppy and doesn’t have regular exposure to other dogs, she was very timid. This was a great first visit due to Jessica and Chrisitan’s kind and patient manner. We’ll definitely schedule another play date with Jessica.”
“Jacqueline was a pleasure to work with to arrange daycare for Brutus. She was communicative; responded in minutes with very clear questions. She double checked that Brutus had all the necessary shots. I didn’t go inside, but from the outside the house looked perfect for dogs in a nice neighborhood with grass and a yard. Her two dogs in the house must have had great personalities, because Brutus came home exhausted from playing. Thanks again, Jacqueline! I’ll message you next time.”
“Mary was communicative, friendly, and super flexible with my puppy's first stay away. He is in a challenging phase but she handled it in stride. My pup was extremely happy in the photos and videos she was kind enough to send and came home ready to snooze :) Thank you!”
“This was our 2nd stay with Kim for our German Shepherd and Shiba Inu. My pups had a great visit and were socialized with two other dogs during their stay. Kim sent us photos regularly. I highly recommend using Kim for your pet sitting needs!”
“Sana was the best sitter anyone can ask for their furbaby. She kept me informed throughout the day how my Simba was doing with videos and messages. I am beyond grateful for her attention to my Simba.”
About: We’ve provided care for both our own and others' pets since we were children. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted us to feed, water, play with, walk, and board their pets when they travel. Having lived both in the country and in town, we have both loved and cared for our own and others' cats and dogs for several years in several environments. We both have flexible working schedules, especially in the summer. We have plenty of time to devote to your beloved pet and are used to juggling multiple tasks. My husband and I live in a three bedroom house in Carol Stream, just outside Wheaton. We have a large yard with a 3-sided fence in which pets would be very safe with proper supervision. Pets would be welcome to lay and sleep wherever they are most comfortable - on our furniture, in one of our two beds, or in their own beds or crates. We are animal lovers and have had our own animals in our home. We have welcomed many a new pet into our home, so your pet would receive our love and care while staying at our home.
“Darrilyn was an amazing puppysitter! I brought my 2 year old labradoodle, Pluto, to stay with Darrilyn during the workday. My new job is an adjustment for both myself and Pluto with the longer hours, but having someone so caring and patient has made our transition much smoother. We can't wait to rebook!”
“Audrea and Mark were incredible! They took great care of our girl and were so nice to work with throughout the entire process. We felt confident and comfortable from the time I met them. Will definitely ask for their support again in the near future!”

“Sophia did an exceptional job walking Huckleberry! He was so excited to see her and had a great time. Sophia handled this wild 7 month old golden with no trouble at all. I’ll definitely hire her again.”
“Leah is the best! She goes above and beyond for scooby and genuinely can tell she loves animals. She takes him on great walks and adores her from all the photos I see! 💖”
“Rena helped me out last minute when I needed a walker after a family emergency. She was quickly responsive and able to pick up the shift and I couldn’t have been more grateful!”
About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.
“Jacqueline & uriel are the best took time to know our lab . I'm so grateful. I highly recommend them if you wanting someone you can trust with your fur family !”
“Maricela P. was just amazing with our Winston! He can be a handful at times just because he gets very excited to meet new people but Maricela handled him with the same care and affection as we do. She was the best with Winston and we are very grateful for finding her!”
“Erika is wonderful with dogs. She is fully engaged and responsive to their needs. Her reports of her time with Ziggy are so much appreciated and detailed with photos! 10/10 recommend!”
“Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!”
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & love for animals - I’d volunteer to take the neighborhood dogs on a walk, clean up after them, groom them and watch them… this passion and love hasn’t gone away, but has only grown! This passion and love has grown so much that I’ve volunteered several times at local Kane county animals shelters! I have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, needs, energy levels… from a couch potato Irish Wolfhound mix rescue to a energetic purebred Chihuahua. I even have experience with cats and kittens! If by request, I can work on commands, walking, agility, etc. … I’ve got experience with it all! Friends and family would describe me as dependable, punctual, honest, energetic, positive & trustworthy to name a few! I’m very adaptable and flexible, too, so please just reach out with any concerns and we can work something out together. Your furry baby/babies are the main concern! Whatever you need for your sweet baby/babies, I’m here to help! Let me show you my love and experience with animals by booking a walk, drop in or house sit with me today!

For drop ins and house sitting, I will be sure to leave your home and baby/babies in the same exact condition, if not even better! *pricing subject to change based on distance, length, amount of dogs, and requirements* I have a lot of free time to help with your furry babies! I will adjust accordingly to fit into your schedule and be ass accommodating as possible.

“Wendy is an outstanding dog walker! Consistent, communicative, accommodating, flexible. I can’t say enough how much she has helped when I have shifting schedules. I can’t recommend enough.”
“Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”
“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”
“Sandra was wonderful! I have 3 big dogs and they love her. She was always on time and so flexible when I needed. Great communication! I get nervous having someone take my dogs because they can be a handful sometimes but she was great with them. We will be using her more often!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have had my family dog for 9 years now. I do a lot of the caring for my dog. I played an integral part in my dog’s recovery from knee surgery. I have also dog sat many times for dogs of all ages from 1-2 year old dogs to elderly dogs. I was also a dog sitter for my college canine companion club for 2 years. This taught me a lot about dog training, etiquette, and respect. While taking care of these dogs, I walked them, gave them food and water, played with the dogs, gave the dogs their medications, worked on owner specified training, and made sure that the dogs were comfortable and happy. I have always loved dogs, listened to their body language, and respected them. I am available to sit for single dog households and multiple pet or dog and cat households. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! Starting Jan 5 I am not available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 3-8:30pm and Saturday 1-5:30, but I am otherwise available to play with and take care of your furry family members. Starting Jan 26, I am not available Monday or Wednesday, Tuesday from 3-8:30pm, Thursday from 7-9:30pm, Friday 8:30-11:30am, or Saturday 1-5:30, but I am otherwise available to play with and take care of your furry family members. I do not offer in my home care. I am glad to talk about any and all routines and rules you want me to follow with your pet (within reason). I am great at reading body language of your furry family members and will do my absolute best at following both your instructions and expectations as well as making sure your furry family members are listened to, comfortable, and happy. I will always treat your furry family members like they are family.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I offer calm, attentive, one-on-one boarding in a clean and peaceful home. As a former groomer, I’m skilled in handling anxious, shy, or energetic dogs, and I’m confident in brushing, basic hygiene care, and reading canine body language. I currently have one friendly Shiba Inu at home, and I only host one client at a time—ensuring your dog receives my full attention and a safe, low-stress environment. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, slow walks, or quiet company, I adjust my care based on their routine and comfort level. Feel free to send me a message—I'd love to learn about your dog and how I can make their stay feel like home. Your dog’s care is naturally built into my daily routine. We start the morning with a refreshing walk, breakfast, and some calm bonding time. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy structured potty breaks, enrichment games, and plenty of supervised relaxation. You will receive updates during these key moments—morning, afternoon, and evening—so you’ll always know how your dog is settling in. I stay closely aligned with your dog’s normal schedule to reduce stress and help them feel at home quickly. Consistency, supervision, and comfort are always my priorities. I provide full-time supervision when boarding, maintain a clean living space, and follow each dog’s feeding, medication, and potty schedule exactly as instructed. Dogs are never left unsupervised around my Shiba Inu, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day so you always know how your dog is doing.
