“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!”
“Frankie had an amazing stay with Julia. She was very attentive and took great care of him. Also, she was great at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable, knowing that he was doing great. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Katie and Java did a good job sending photos and updates. Katie is pleasant to work with and was flexible in allowing me to pick up my dog a day early. Thank you Katie !”
“Niamh was the sweetest with my pup! I last minute needed to bring him on a work trip to Chicago and she instantly put me at ease, knowing we wouldn't be able to do a meet n greet beforehand. From the video call, to dropping him off, Niamh was very communicative and provided updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her if you are in the Chicago area or traveling with your pet and need someone reliable to watch them!”
“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!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving Maggie with Whitney over the weekend. Maggie seemed to love her straight for the get go, and Whitney kept us up to date with regular pictures and videos. Will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks again!!”
“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”
“Can't say enough thanks to Jorge and Lake. After my travel plans unexpectedly changed, they were able to keep my dog an extra night. I truly appreciate their flexibility and love that they embrace my high energy pup!”
“Michelle is super friendly, caring, and communicative, and her dog is very sweet! My dog absolutely loved staying at her home! I'll definitely use her services again!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my dog, Izzy. Beata’s home is very dog friendly and her schedule allowed her to be with Izzy basically 24/7. Beata went out of her way to make sure both Izzy and myself were comfortable in her home and with her plans for the stay. She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout Izzy’s stay and was very responsive.”
“Ksenia took fantastic care of our dog Alfie! She was super attentive to him and sent us lots of updates during his stay. He also got along really well with her pup! Would definitely board Ksenia again!”

About: I have had cats for most of my life, and I have a cat at home now. I know how to take care of cats and understand their daily needs. After many years with cats, I can often tell how they are feeling by their meows and body language. I also love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. Every pet is different, so I will follow your instructions carefully and take care of your pet with love, patience, and respect. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away. I am a retired mom and have plenty of time and patience to take care of your pets! I enjoy taking a walk in our neighborhood and know the area very well. I have been a cat owner for decades and always pay attention to what their body language suggests. Safety of the pets is my first priority!

She kept us up to date and was very sweet to our Penny girl. So grateful we found her and that our pup was in good hands.”

About: I have grown up and lived with dogs and cats my whole life, and have watched neighbors pets for years! I have never met an animal I don’t like and that doesn’t like me! I am at home most of the day and so have time to watch your dog or cat! I babysit some days of the week and do online class so I am home most days all day! So I have a pretty open schedule! I live in a dog friendly apartment and there is a secured dog grass area on the roof I have taken friends dogs to! There is also a dog park and path across the street from my apartment!
About: I specialize in small to medium sized high energy dogs. Whether you need walk, play, or just some company for your pet I am happy to provide service. I've trained and taken care of my own dog all throughout puppyhood to be a healthy, loving adult dog. Any special requests or video updates wanted are welcome and encouraged. I started my working life in childcare and children's special recreation. I've babysat in home and in afterschool programs. I'm currently a student at Depaul University with a flexible schedule. Weekend dates like Friday and Saturday are best for me! During the week late afternoons are best! I would attend to your dog in any way you need whether it's potty or playtime in your home. I treat every pet as if it is my own, following their specific schedule and instructions. I often send updates through videos and pictures to the owner.
“Vitaliia is a great dog walker! She provides updates and takes care of our girl while we are away at work! If she’s not available, she makes sure she makes arrangements to still help us out which is super nice.”
About: I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a family dog, and I’ve now had my own pup for the past 8 years, raising and training him myself. He’s taught me that dogs are so much more than pets—they’re little personalities with their own routines, quirks, and very important opinions. I love getting to know each dog I care for and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup wants a long walk and some zoomies, a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood, or lots of attention and cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I know how much trust goes into letting someone care for your dog, so I treat every pup like they’re my own. My goal is simple: happy dog, happy human, and plenty of tail wags along the way! I work from home as a therapist, so I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy for me to fit in walks and drop-in visits throughout the day! My client hours are scheduled in advance, so I know when I’m on calls and can plan pet care around them. Outside of those scheduled sessions, I’m able to be flexible with walk and drop-in times and can often accommodate different schedules. I also love having a reason to step away from my computer for some fresh air and puppy time! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! I provide care in your home, so your pup can stay in the familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I’ll follow any instructions you leave for your pet’s care closely. I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and have them care for your furry family member, so I treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

About: Ever since I was born I’ve had dogs in my family. I adore all breeds and respect dogs that need more care and special attention. I also know what it’s like to care for senior and terminally ill dogs. While I’ve mostly talked about dogs, I also enjoy cats. I have never personally owned one but I always had friends with cats, so I am familiar with their behaviors and needs. I am currently home from college, so my schedule is wide open. If something changes in my availability I will update my profile promptly. I am available all days of the week at any time of day. I love hanging out with animals but if they need to be crated or left alone I don’t mind just hanging out at a distance while keeping an eye on them.
