“Guillermina accepted our booking at the last minute and took very good care of our Husky-Shepherd mix, Cannon, with love. She sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away. Cannon had lots of fun and came back all happy! Guillermina is the best!! Thank you so much, Guillermina! We are so grateful we found you :)”
“We moved to Chicago a year ago from Milwaukee and used our sitter there before. It is too time consuming to travel to Milwaukee to take Lily to her sitter before our trips, so we decided to find one in Chicago. We booked Irene through Rover based on her excellent reviews. We decided to let them get to know Lily before we leave her with them for our long travel at the end of this month. It worked very well. I met Ronnie when we left and picked up Lily. He is a very nice person and I can tell he loves dogs very much. Irene and Ronnie treated Lily like their own. They sent her pictures frequently. We can tell that Lily was happy there with Irene and Ronnie. Hopefully her longer stay will work as well even better. We highly recommend them.”
“Ruben was amazing taking care of Alfredo and Frida, he was always updating about the day of my dogs. Is good to know that we have someone to stay with them so responsible.”
“Jennifer is excellent!! Total lifesaver taking my dog at the last minute for several days while I was out of town. I loved the videos and pics!! So nice to know our dog was having as much fun as we were 😊😊😊”
“Dayana never disappoints. You can really tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. This is the second time I booked with her for my dogs to stay for a couple of days. She provided me with pictures and videos and made sure I felt comfortable with their stay. They came home happy, fed and very tired from all of the playing. I will definitely keep booking my babies with her whenever I have to be out of town. Thank you Dayana!”
“Kyla was incredible!! From the initial contact to pickup, she was friendly and professional. She took the time to know my dog’s needs and preferences. She sent me regular updates and photos of my pup, which put me at ease while I was away! I highly recommend Kyla for a trustworthy and caring place for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“I’ve booked with Kyla three times now and she’s been phenomenal! She’s very communicative and always sends pictures and updates on how Koda is doing and getting along with the other pups. She’s also very attentive to his behaviors (eating patterns, socializing etc). Koda is happy to be dropped off and also if happy and tired out when I pick him up. I would highly recommend booking with Kyla!”
“Another great stay with John, Ryan and Bruno! This was Bambi’s first extended stay (two weeks) and I’m so happy we found John and Ryan to be her sitters. She loves it there and Bruno is the perfect host and playmate. Communication was great and we received plenty of photo updates. Highly highly recommend- they will treat your dog as if they were their own and you will have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.”

He got to play lots and they kept me updated with tons of pictures throughout his stay. I felt that he was safe and loved during his time with them. I would definitely recommend them & rebook when I need them again.”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”

About: I have been a dog parent for the last 13 years. I have experience with dogs with disabilities (I live with a three-legged baby, Mabel) and leash-reactive furbabies. As a sitter, I have taken care of all kinds of dogs but prefer a nice temperament if a dog comes to my home so he or she can get along with my own dogs. I am knowledgeable of dog training techniques and are observant of dog behaviors. I work from phone so your dog will rarely be alone. They will have consistent use of the yard throughout the day (under my supervision, never alone) and will have playmates in my two female dogs, Iris and Mabel (both very playful, mid-energy, mild temperament, zero dog/toy/foodnaggression, spayed, up-to-date on all vaccines). I work remotely so I am usually home. My two dogs are super friendly and love to play. I am also able to separate dogs if needed with dog gates while still allowing for all dogs to be comfortable! I love dogs so it is very important to me to provide everything they need while their parents are away. I live with two dogs myself and they are my life, and I will treat your dog in the same way. As a dog mom who has used sitters in the past, I understand the importance of respecting my client's home and only spend time on site as needed to take care of your angel. My goal is to be the person I would trust to take care of my own doggies (and my expectations of sitters are *pretty* high). Lastly, I am very detailed in following rules and care instructions, no matter how irrational your friends tell you they are. My care instructions for my own dogs is 4 pages long; I understand. Please note that the only caveat to the above is if any rules are abusive toward your dog (shock collars, prong collars, hitting, pushing, choking, underfeeding, other); I will not accept the booking.
“Yesenia did an excellent job as a pet sitter during the three-week period. She dedicated 30 minutes each day to thoroughly care for the cats, ensuring they were well-fed, had fresh water, and their litter was clean. Yesenia also handled hairball cleanups. Her daily photo updates were a delightful and reassuring touch. She was consistently prompt in responding to any queries, demonstrating great reliability and communication skills.”
“Luis was wonderful with our cat Mango when we needed last minute care over the holidays! He was super communicative and made sure to spend quality time with her while we were away.”
“Danna was amazing. She took great care of our cats and sent plenty of pictures. We appreciate how reliable she is. While we only have cats, she also loves dogs. Would definitely recommend get to anyone in the area.”

I always strive for a 5-star experience, but my top priority will always be the safety of the pets in my care.

“Mary was communicative, convenient and put my mind at ease as we were in the city for the weekend and our hotel couldn’t accommodate for a late check out to house our pup, Teddy. 🤍 Our niece had a soccer game at Seat Geek stadium in 90 degree October weather and Mary solved our quandary and was as warm and inviting as the unseasonable weather. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had a total of 9 dogs in my lifetime. I currently have 2 with GREAT temperaments so your dogs will always have friends to play with but if you would like them to stay separated, then I can do that as well.

“On very short notice, Ruben agreed to take care of our pup for the day when another sitter flaked out. 😑 He was glad to have Titus join the little pack of dogs at his house, and he made sure that Titus was comfortable around them. We had to push back our pickup time a bit, and Ruben was super understanding. It’s clear that there’s a reason why he has so many happy reviews and high ratings!”

We highly recommend Cristian and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future when we need a dogwalker!”

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a kid, I had a high energy yellow lab before and now I have 2 pitbull mixes and one of them is deaf. I use to volunteer at PAWS Chicago a few years ago, so I have been trained with reading a dog’s body language, deescalation tactics, and dog safety measures! I currently am focusing on my education which is fully remote via online. So, my schedule is open unless otherwise stated in the calendar. You let me know what your beloved pet schedule is and I will include them into my schedule if I am not already booked. I have had my previous dog rusty since he was a puppy, so I have had first-hand experience with potting training, teaching them how to sit and stay, and have experience with high-energy dogs. I now have 2 pitbulls / mixed breeds. One since a puppy and the other since 2025 when she found us and ran at me from a alleyway. The alleyway dog "Joy" is deaf, so my experience includes dogs with little to no hearing. I will take your dog out on walks and give them all the pets and attention they want. If they want to play fetch outside, I will do that at a local dog park or in the yard, whatever you are most comfortable with.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.
About: I have taken care of family pets my whole life, no pets are allowed in my household so I have taken every opportunity to interact with and care for animals outside of my home. I make sure to keep up with their needs while also providing them an enjoyable environment! I work from home so I am able to relocate wherever there is WiFi connection, the work isn’t too demanding so I am able to care for pets immediately. I work 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday and have 24/7 availability! I have an hour lunch break and am also available anytime after work and on weekends! I cannot have animals in my home so being in a clients home is best for me. I adhere to all instruction given by owners and follow the schedules set for the animal. I am open to entertaining and watching after the animal at all hours!
About: Hi my name is Angie. I actually have about 2 years of professional experience working with both cats and dogs. I worked in a dog hotel and a dog kennel which both took cats and dogs So I know how to interact with both, How to introduce myself to them, giving shots and medication if needed. I also know some basic training techniques. Im very good at reading animals and just tend to have a natural bond with them. Im very comfortable with all size dogs. Please feel free to msg me if you hav any questions I have open availability and don’t mind traveling. I also have experience bathing, blow drying and clipping nails if interested. I can guarantee you pet will definitely be in great hands with me. ☺️ I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups 🐶 so for the most part I’m gone maybe about 4 hours a day. I have a fenced in yard and two large fields next door for them to take long walks in & have a puppy who loves to make new friends. 🐶

“Guillermina accepted our booking at the last minute and took very good care of our Husky-Shepherd mix, Cannon, with love. She sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away. Cannon had lots of fun and came back all happy! Guillermina is the best!! Thank you so much, Guillermina! We are so grateful we found you :)”

“Jennifer is excellent!! Total lifesaver taking my dog at the last minute for several days while I was out of town. I loved the videos and pics!! So nice to know our dog was having as much fun as we were 😊😊😊”
“Dayana never disappoints. You can really tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. This is the second time I booked with her for my dogs to stay for a couple of days. She provided me with pictures and videos and made sure I felt comfortable with their stay. They came home happy, fed and very tired from all of the playing. I will definitely keep booking my babies with her whenever I have to be out of town. Thank you Dayana!”
“I’ve booked with Kyla three times now and she’s been phenomenal! She’s very communicative and always sends pictures and updates on how Koda is doing and getting along with the other pups. She’s also very attentive to his behaviors (eating patterns, socializing etc). Koda is happy to be dropped off and also if happy and tired out when I pick him up. I would highly recommend booking with Kyla!”
“Another great stay with John, Ryan and Bruno! This was Bambi’s first extended stay (two weeks) and I’m so happy we found John and Ryan to be her sitters. She loves it there and Bruno is the perfect host and playmate. Communication was great and we received plenty of photo updates. Highly highly recommend- they will treat your dog as if they were their own and you will have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.”
“Jayme took great care of my girls while I was away! I was very appreciative or her updates and pictures. Also so thankful for her flexibility with helping to get my girls back home in the midst of some flight issues on my way back into town. I will definitely be using Jayme again!”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”
“Magdalena took incredible care of Remi and Spud while we were away. She was punctual, communicative, and sent great photo updates each visit. Remi and Spud were calm, well-fed, and happy when we got back. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Magdalena in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter!”
“Elisa was great - my dog Keds had a blast during her stay! Elisa was very flexible with pickup and drop off, working around my schedule. I also received regular updates and photos throughout my trip!”
“Excellent as always! Great communication and our dog always is excited when he realizes he is going to Iwona’s. She takes great care of him and he seems to have a great time!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Per usual, Cocoa was in the best hands with Christina. She loves going over, so much so she dragged me there this time. I love all the updates and never have any second thoughts dropping her off with Christina!”
“Angel took great care of Bean while we were gone for our extended vacation. He was very flexible on dates/times and communicative about how my dog Bean was doing while away.”
“Always a pleasure having Cary watch our babies. Communication is always quick and efficient. I needed to make a modification to drop off time this visit and Cary was easily accommodating. Drop off and pick up are always such a smooth transition where they meet us outside. We will continue to prefer Cary for all our dog sitting needs :)”
