“We boarded our 2 little guys with Rosarin for several nights and could tell they were very well cared for. We got updates via the app on their days felt relieved they were in excellent care. Would highly recommend!”
“Dunkin's first time with an over night boarding while his humans went away could not of been any better. After two introduction daycare visits to Jackie the day of his stay he could of not been any more comfortable. He actually ran into her house! Jackie's updates with me and pictures while I was gone put me at ease right away. Dunkin received the best of care while staying in a loving home environment. Dunkin for sure will be staying again. Thank you!”
“All good! Thank you for taking care of Steely, our quirky and a bit anxious boy. He hung out with Danielle and a good-natured golden doodle. Sounds like it was a perfect pairing that calmed him down and brought out his playful side. Thanks for everything, Danielle!”
“Morgan was amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt totally at ease. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear he was having a great time playing, socializing, and getting lots of love. Her home was clean, welcoming, and dog-friendly. I could tell she truly cares about the animals she watches. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sonia and Greg are wonderful!! I feel that Kuma was well taken care of while we were gone for 2 weeks. I was sent pictures of her having a great time with Sammy and kept informed about how she was doing. Sammy (such a sweet dog) seemed to be best friends with her by playing with her and cuddling up with her. She almost seems somewhat sad as though she misses him since coming home! Kuma loves people and other dogs; I didn't want to board her at a place where she would be in a cage half of the day. With Greg and Sonia, she got the love, exercise and attention that she demands;)!”
“Jeannie was great with our older Chihuahua mix. We recently adopted our dog and this was the first time we had left her in someone’s care. The updates were much appreciated. We plan to book with Jeannie again when we need to board our pet.”
“David and Mary were great! They sent me pictures of how my dog Pluto was doing when I dropped him off on an extended stay of 9 days. I could tell that he was loved and had a very comfortable stay with David and Mary. Would definitely book with them again.”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“Jackie and her family took such wonderful care of our two pups, who are always so anxious to be away from home. They came back to us happy, healthy, and maybe just a little disappointed that they had to leave their new friends. Highly recommend Jackie!”
“Justine, Brett, and family made our little guy feel right at home. If our dog could speak a human language I am sure he’d say to my family, “Hurry up and go on vacation again!” If you need someone to care for your pup(s) look no further, as they are great carers and communicators.”
“Julie and Mark were fantastic! They kept in touch with us and were flexible and accommodating when we had a travel delay and needed additional help. Highly recommend! 💯”
“I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.”
“Kira was absolutely amazing with my dog. Thanks to her quick thinking, my dog was able to throw up the toy he accidentally swallowed. She went above and beyond by driving him to the emergency vet and staying to make sure he was okay. I’m so grateful for her care and compassion.”
“100% positive experience. Wayne provided morning updates, photos, and had a nice home for my dog to get lots of playtime. It was very easy to book and communicate with Wayne. I highly recommend having him watch your dog as I would gladly book with him again.”
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

“Cynthia is absolutely fantastic! She spends a lot of time playing with our cat and gives her lots of attention and love. She communicates very well on what she gives our cat, on what my cat was doing, my cat's demeanor, etc. But Cynthia also goes above and beyond what we could ask or expect. Like she will take the scooped litter all the way out of the house (so the house doesn't stink) and she'll vacuum any scattered litter with pretty much every visit. We don't even do that every day, ha! 😆 She takes her cat sitting visits very serious and l can tell she loves her feline clients very much. I heard about Cynthia through a referral and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a kitty sitter. She's the best.”
“Erica went above and beyond for me in my cats. I have a very difficult job with a total of seven cats. The dynamic can change on a daily basis. Erica was up to the task of completing everything. I asked her to do. She also has great intuition and making decisions Regarding things that are occurring at the house. She made great judgment calls, exactly what I would do. My cats adore her. And she does everything with a smile on her face. I would highly recommend using Erica. She is my go to sitter. You won’t be disappointed. We are 100% happy with everything that she does for our cats.”
“Madeline was amazing. She was very communicative/responsive, took great care of our cats, and even got our shy guy to come out and play with her. We would 100% trust her with our babies again.”
“Stephanie was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, and she immediately helped us feel confident that we could count on her. We were able to relax and not worry about our kitty while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Vicki was absolutely amazing with our diabetic cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Giving insulin and caring for a diabetic pet requires experience, patience, and attention to detail, and Vicki handled everything with confidence and compassion. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cat’s well-being and treated him like one of her own. Knowing our cat was in such capable, loving hands allowed us to truly relax on our trip. We highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Doreen is the best of the best! My cat loves her and we love her. She is so kind and goes above and beyond and always willing to help. I can go on my travels peacefully knowing that my fur baby is in great hands. THANK YOU SO MUCH DOREEN!”
“Mary took extra special care of our kitties and was even kind enough to water my plants. It gave us much needed peace of mind so we could relax while away! She was very flexible and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her!”
“She did a great job with my dogs Sutton and Chaz for weekend drop-ins! I honestly don’t know how she managed to walk both of them together, because Sutton can be a terrible walker, but I came home to two very happy dogs. Everything was taken care of, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Jessica was the perfect person to check in on my cat. First, she responded quickly and courteously to all my communications. Second, she took wonderful care of Bruce following all the instructions I left. She completed the checks on time and created nice reports with pictures and descriptions of how Bruce was doing. My mind was at ease and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Jessica was taking care of Bruce…definitely recommend booking her services!”
“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”
“Elena was fantastic! Elena watched our two pets (Guinea Pigs) while we were out of town. Both pets are recent rescues and they both warmed up to Elena right away. We are very pleased. Elena is very friendly, respectful, great communication, and knowledgeable. We had peace of mind knowing out pets where in great hands.”
“This was my first time using Rover as a client. This was my first time using Sarah. Sarah did a great job of taking care of everything. She had a lot of items to check for functionality. Sarah did an exceptional job in dealing with my daily changes that occurred as I had to find the perfect routine for my outdoor cats. Some things went off line but she went with the flow and was able to transition nicely with the issues. I hope she will sit for me again if asked”
“Don did a drop-in for us while we were at Paramount for the evening. He communicated during the booking process, asked great questions so as to ensure things went smoothly, and sent both photos and a post-visit note. Highly recommend him!”
“Riley stayed at my home to watch my 2 cats & leopard gecko. She was great at communicating & was flexible. She sent pictures of my cats to me & kept me up to date. Upon arriving home, everyone & thing was happy, healthy, & in good shape. I’ll reach out to Riley again in the future & recommend her.”

“My pup is normally very shy and takes him time warming up, but he loved Rosarin right away! He took treats (which never happens), enjoyed a nice long walk with her, and spent some time hanging out with her dog. Rosarin is great with animals, and she shared lots of helpful insights and cute pics/videos. Fantastic sitter, will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Jennifer did a great job making our dog, George, comfortable while we were away. He was happy & well taken care of, & we would definitely have George stay again in the future!”
“Jackie is always accommodating to our needs for the dogs and if we are running a little late picking up. She provides pics of the dogs and takes them on walks! I like that she doesn’t take on a lot of dogs at once then Harley and Haven can get a lot of attention!”
“We were greeted warmly for the Meet & Greet by Sammy happily carrying a toy outside to welcome us into Sonia & Greg’s huge backyard. Wow! What a great yard for dogs to run & play in. We immediately felt comforted by Sonia’s kindness and her confidence and experience handling dogs. Our dog truly enjoyed wrestling & playing with Sammy who was exactly as Sonia described him to be. He was the perfect playmate. Thank you Sonia & Greg & Sammy for sending us photos and taking great care of our dog!”
“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”
“Kaya really enjoyed her first visit with Elizabeth!! This was the first time she’s had dog sitting in a sitters home and it went really well! I felt very comfortable with Elizabeth and Kaya really likes her 😊”
“Thank you soooo much for taking him for the day! He is tired out and happy! Thank you for al the updates of photos and videos I will deff be bringing him back so he can play again! Thanks so much guys I highly recommend her!! Very great!”
“Danielle was so flexible, responsive and accommodating to my changing plans. And most importantly, my Ava had an absolute blast! Such a comforting feeling to know she’s being so well taken care of. Will definitely rebook. Thanks again!”
“Maria has been a LIFE SAVER for me. I work full time in Chicago and I needed someone who was able to take my dog M-F but I didn't want to bring my dog to an impersonal day care. That's when I found Maria. I really love that Oliver (my dog) is safe in Maria's home and also able to go to the dog park everyday. When I pick him up he is a very happy and tired dog! I could not have asked for a better situation and we consider Maria part of the family. She treats my dog as if he was her own and for that I am so thankful.”
“Kristina was absolutely fantastic. This was the first time we used a sitter for our little guy and Kristina made sure he was comfortable and gave him enough time to adjust. She was very flexible with timings as well.”
About: I Take a Personalized Approach and Maintain Constant Communication I don’t treat all pets the same. I carefully assess the behavior of each animal, understanding that an adult dog has different needs than an energetic puppy or a shy cat. Before accepting any booking, I conduct a detailed consultation to learn about your pet’s routine, fears, favorite activities, and specific medical needs. In addition, I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I don’t just say, “They’re doing fine.” I’ll tell you how well they ate, how much they played, and how their walk went, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. My time management and the way I integrate pet care into my daily routine are designed to ensure consistency and individualized attention, as your pet’s routine is essential to their well-being. In summary, my schedule is built around reliability, consistency, and controlled flexibility, ensuring that your pet’s care fits seamlessly into my day without ever feeling rushed or stressful. ● Home-Like Environment, No Crates: My home is fully pet-proofed and designed to make pets feel like they’re in a second home. Pets live alongside me and are never confined to a crate unless specifically requested by the owner. ● 24/7 Supervision: Pets staying in my home receive constant supervision. I only leave for very short, planned periods, and only when the pet is comfortable, safe, and secure. ● Small Group Care: I accept only a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one receives individualized attention and that the environment remains calm, safe, and manageable. ● Secure Exercise Area: My home features a securely fenced yard where pets can enjoy supervised playtime and socialization (with the owner's approval and if the pet enjoys interacting with others). In summary, I choose the care option that best meets your pet’s emotional and physical needs—whether that means the comfort of staying in their own home or the constant supervision and companionship offered in mine.
“Michelle was great!! I feel so lucky to have found her on the site!! She went above and beyond, sending me pictures and updates throughout the day. Also, she was willing and patient to work with my dog even though she is still a puppy. I truly felt relieved to know she was in Michelle's hands! I will definitely be using her services again.”

“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!!”
“Lucky and Scout looked so happy in all the updates from Nicole. While we weren’t there to facilitate the walks, our dog sitters had great things to say about Nicole and how she was with our girls. We would definitely hire her again if we needed to!”
“Erika is wonderful! She always takes such great care of our dog and sends me all the details of her time with him so I always know he’s in great hands. Thank you Erika!!”
“Josh and Susan were great! I had them walk my dog very last minute and they were super great with accepting my request and their communication after the walk. Can’t recommend enough!”
About: Hi, my name is Valerie Petty & I graduated from UIC in 2016 with a bachelors in Criminal Law & Justice. I am very outgoing and caring. I love animals more than anything. I had an 8 year old boxer who was with me starting at 6 months, she was my baby and best friend. Unfortunately she passed away October 5, 2018 from lymphoma. I now have three other dogs, Nugget, Delilah and Roo. Nugget was found and we adopted Delilah and Roo after fostering them. Nugget is a labrador retriever, rottweiler mix, Delilah is a boxer mix and Roo is an Amstaf mix. I have also grown up with cats, frogs, birds, hamsters, turtles and all types of reptiles. I love all different types of animals and love meeting new pets. I am allergic to cats and dogs but that has never stopped me from being around them! I promise to treat and care for them as my own. I try to help out as many families as I can but I have to make sure mine comes first! I will always make sure they get enough play time and attention, they can never have enough! Make sure they are always happy, feel loved and taken care of! Pet care is my other job I love! I don't really have a day off which I don't mind, if I'm not with my babies I'm with others. I make sure I keep your pet on schedule as best I can. I will give them the best care possible, their happiness is mine!
“Jessica did an amazing job walking my pitbull! She was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with handling dogs. My pup came back happy and well-exercised. She was also very communicative, giving me updates during the walk, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”
“Absolutely love Katelyn. I am very protective of who I allow to walk my Zoey since she is known to be quite a puller and loves to bark. After the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with Katelyn walking Zoey.”

“Kayla is an absolute gem! We were out of town for almost 2 weeks, and understandably nervous to leave our fur baby. Our family and Dash got to meet Kayla and her family before we left; everyone immediately felt at ease. Both Kayla and her family are dog lovers, and it shows! Dash was so well loved on! Kayla kindly sent us pics each day (even though we did not ask), so we could so how Dash was doing. Our kiddos looked forward to these pics and videos, and they helped us all have a vacation for the memory books! Thank you Kayla for loving on Dash just as much as we could hope for!”
“D’artagnan took great care of Yeti for a fairly extended stay. I will be booking again with him!

He even worked with her a little bit on leash pulling and we talked about what he had seen in other dogs that might help Yeti. Highly recommend!”
“Leaving my boy with Maggie and her family is what I truly hope anyone can receive from a sitter when leaving their pups. He was very well taken care of. Thank you!”
