“When I first saw Jennifer I knew right away that I could safely leave my dog to her. Cola had a great time with Jen and her family while we had a whole day trip in Chicago city. It’s very convenient that her place is only 15 mins away from the downtown area. Thank you Jen and family -Ryan from Minnesota”

“This was my first time using Dog Vacay and Robby and Nicole were amazing hosts - answering all my questions and welcoming my puppy Gipper into their home. I was so excited to see photos and get updates of Gipper in action all day. They were very accommodating and I felt very at ease leaving my little guy in their care. He had a ton of play time with their dogs as well and came home a happy, tired, cuddly pup. Gipper can't wait to go back and play some more!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of who I am and I truly love spending time with them! I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog, so I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether your dog is staying with me for the day or just needs a walk, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles! I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’m always happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re in my care! 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week! I’m happy to provide daytime care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. As a teacher, my schedule may change once the school year begins, but I plan to continue offering pet care before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work with you to find a routine that works best for your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. When caring for dogs in my home, I’ll make sure they have a comfortable, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and opportunities to relax. I’m also happy to accommodate crates, special routines, or other needs to help your dog feel as comfortable and at home as possible.
“Anna was an amazing dog sitter! She sent us great pictures and updates throughout the day, was very communicative, and Moose seemed to have an amazing time with her! 10/10 would use her again!”

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Ruben! We booked him to watch Tsuki for 3 days, and he was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He accepted our request last minute and was incredibly understanding of my situation. From the beginning, he genuinely wanted to help, which meant so much to me. Ruben was so kind and even offered to show me his place beforehand and clearly explain how everything works while he dog sits. He communicated so well throughout Tsuki’s 3 day stay and consistently gave me updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. One moment that really stood out to me was on the 3rd day when I realized I had forgotten to pack Tsuki’s food. I was already feeling stressed and overwhelmed, and Ruben immediately offered to feed her rice and chicken. It may seem like a small thing, but it genuinely meant so much to me in that moment and really showed me how willing he was to help and make sure Tsuki was taken care of. You can genuinely tell that Ruben cares about the dogs he watches. The way he talks about them and the way he gives updates felt so genuine. You can tell that he really takes the time to get to know each dog, pays attention to their needs, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy. It was clear to me that his care for Tsuki wasn’t just because she was staying with him it’s genuinely how he treats the dogs he dog sits for. Ruben is such a great guy with a kind heart and a really good attitude. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and support he gave Tsuki and for how reassuring he was throughout her 3 day stay. I would absolutely recommend Ruben to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog and treat them with kindness and patience. Tsuki was definitely in good hands! ❤️”

“Karlee is amazing! I don’t have enough good things to say. She made sure Winston was comfortable and was so patient with his shyness. She’s a great communicator and I love that she sends updates with pictures throughout the day. It was scary for us to leave Winston with someone he didn’t know but Karlee made it so easy for us and we’re so grateful <3”

“Couldn’t have asked for better! Samantha was kind, communicative, knowledgeable and fantastic with Zeke. Provided plenty of surety before hand that she was well prepared and well equipped to care for Zeke. Updated with pictures throughout the day. The type of person you want to take care of your pet!”

“I have an unexpected conference to attend in Chicago. I needed someone to watch my baby for me. Pamela was quick in her response, flexible and very caring. She literally save me. Thanks again”

“Demetra was great! She took care of buzz so well that we’d like to book her again in the near future. She was super responsive, flexible and took our little furry boy for nice/long walks. I definitely recommend Demetra!!”

“Jaclyn was super prompt in her responses, kind, and super sweet for my dog! Communication was excellent, and she made sure that Billie not only was taken care of but that she met her social and physical exercise for the day with enrichment time at the farmers market! I would definitely rebook her again and recommend Jaclyn to anyone!”

“I had the pleasure of having Emily watch my beloved pup, Izzy, through Rover, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Emily's care and attention to Izzy were exceptional. She treated Izzy as if she were her own, and it was evident that she genuinely loves dogs. Emily also kept me updated with messages throughout Izzy's stay, which was a thoughtful touch that put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter. She provides a loving and safe environment for your furry family members, making it easy to enjoy your time away without any worries.”

About: As experienced dog sitter, I’ve discovered that taking care of other people’s dogs has become a beloved hobby. Unfortunately, we can’t have a dog of our own right now, but that makes looking after other’s dogs all the more special. I recently moved from Amsterdam to Chicago. In Amsterdam I used a similar app called “petbnb” and dog sitted a lot of dogs. Here, I love going for walks and discover the city with the dog. Whether you are going away for a short or long time, I’ll warmly welcome your dog, give them plenty of love, and provide them with a temporary home 💕 I look forward to meeting your dog! Flexible and hybrid working from home and office! So I can decide for every week when I will work from the office and when not. Give them the attention they need. And I would make sure they don’t do anything different from what they were taught. And doing lots of walks!

About: I have taken care of friends and clients dogs. The longest I watched a dog was 2 weeks. She is an Australian Shepherd and Boxer mix (high energy and very smart). Others breads I have taken care of are Doberman, Labradoodle, French Bulldog, Pit Bull, and Bulldog. Long walks and playtime are no biggie! Just a note, my household is just me and my boyfriend. I wake up at 6:30-7am, go on a walk, breakfast, play time, snack, nap (if needed, walk or play, relax, and dinner. I adjust to the needs of the dog, especially with physical activity. I am comfortable with high energy and low energy dogs. They will get a lot of love and encouragement the whole time. I live in a condo in a 12 story building. It is a dog friendly building with fenced in a play area. It is small but an easier way for any dog that needs to be let out. There are a couple of dog parks to walk to but can avoid and just walk if that is more comfortable for them.
“Colin was great with Milton! He took him on a nice long walk that Milton loved. Colin was super responsive and thorough in his walk report. I will be contacting him again!”

“Anthony was great helping with our senior dog who needs help with stairs. He was really responsive, very helpful, and flexible with some of the care elements that were perhaps a bit out of the ordinary. Thank you!”
“Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!”

“Teddy finished his first week with Sonya & Bobby. He let his hair down as usual and was his goofy, snotty self. Hats off to you guys for giving Teddy a chance. He needs the walks & attention. You are so professional & pleasant. You must love dogs because Teddy is hard to reach. But he's happy.”

“Kim did a fantastic job handling and walking my very active yellow Labrador. She was very friendly, communicative, prompt and she followed some of the direction we had left her. Really appreciated her last minute help in caring for our dog! Highly recommend”

“Victoria was able to be there for my puppy when I needed her in a pinch! I’m so grateful for her! She was great with him during a busy season of my life! Thank you Victoria!!”

“Melissa is the best🩷 — we absolutely love her! She is so sweet with my baby, spoils him, takes amazing care of him, and always keeps me updated on how everything is going. My favorite part is that she’s always sharing videos and photos with me! She even plays with him and makes little blanket forts 🥹 We can truly tell she does this with so much love for dogs. She always goes the extra mile. Thank you so much, Melissa!✨🤗”

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Chauntrell gave my pup while I was away! From the moment we connected, he was communicative, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He sent daily updates, photos, and even little notes about how my dog was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Chauntrell was so patient and gentle with him it didn’t take long before he was completely comfortable and excited for their walks. He treated my pup like he was their own, and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Chauntrell to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and professional. I will absolutely be booking with him again in the future! Thank you again for everything my friend! 🐾❤️”

“Anthony was a fantastic walker for my dog! He did a great job of being adaptable based on multiple factors, including her needs and the weather. I would absolutely trust him to work with her again(:”

I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

He's clearly a dog lover and took Ona in as family, and his dog Hopper seemed to really enjoy having a buddy around to play with. He was very responsive to messages, took plenty of pictures of Ona, and was flexible as well. Ona has some separation anxiety and had some issues for the first half of the trip and Cody was excellent in his communication about her issues and coordinating with me to get them taken care of. I felt totally comfortable with her in his care and would recommend him to anyone.”
