“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!”
“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”
“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 :)”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy — not just watched. It would truly be an honor to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention every pet deserves. Daily and evening care including walks, feedings, playmate, bath time and bed time with any other activities including the dog park when availabe based on weathe. Pets are free to roam while I am home and crated when I need to run errands. They are treated like the rest of the family.
“My Bogey always acted like we were abandoning him at the shelter when we dropped him off in boarding environments, but after meeting Katherine and her crew, he was excited to explore with his new friends, and the photos that Katherine sent proved he was having a great time. They have a very lovely and dog friendly home and yard and you can tell they get to know the pets they care for. We will absolutely use them again.”
“I love the attentiveness to all the fur babies and keeping them on a schedule - Katie and Teddy were playing with the others fur babies which is wonderful. These guys are my go-to boarders from this day forward 😊”
“Tamara had great communication and made me feel at ease since it was my first time using this service. My dog loved her stay, and came home tired and happy! Will definitely book again when I need it. Thank you!”
“My dog is like my child and she takes very good care of him she send me pictures and videos I don’t even have to ask I never worry with her. Her house is very clean she has a yard for him to run in I won’t use anyone else.”
“If you are feeling uneasy about booking a person to care for your dog, look no further! Dayana is the absolute best and took phenomenal care of both my dogs. She kept me updated by sending videos and pictures. My dogs had the best time. She even did a cute photo shoot with my dogs. She was very attentive and loving to my dogs. Don’t think twice and book her! I’ll be selecting her for my upcoming trips.”
“Judith was amazing. Cared greatly for our pets. Was very flexible and accommodating of us and even did a pick-up/drop-off for us. Our sweet pup came back bathed and our kitty cat easily adjusted to her environment. Favorite sitter, will definitely rely on Judith for all of our external pet care and boarding needs.”
“Maya and Dante had a great time with Michelle and her family. They were very well taken care of and spent their days exploring the neighborhood. We would absolutely leave our fur-babies with them again on our next trip!”
“Baily did an outstanding job taking care of our little Greta (6 years old pug/boston terrier mix rescue). She kept us updated on Greta's stay with her and it was obvious from the updates and accompanying photos that Greta was feeling right at home and being showered with affection by Baily.”
“Genuinely the most kind hearted and understanding person I have ever met in my life. Was so patient and flexible during the most chaotic move I have ever experienced.”
“Thais is a very responsible and caring person who did a great job of caring for our Freddy. She was very responsive and sent updates and photos. I would recommend her and will be looking to hire her again for boarding. Thanks!”
“Tanqueray was phenomenal with my sweet but anxious older little guy. She took his unique needs into consideration as she thoughtfully planned his stay. He was comfortable and happy, which I knew because he doesn’t usually go up to sitters to say bye when I pick him up. But he did this with her. He made new doggy friends on his walks (which he’s also not always up to) and he and Sir, a sweet little guy, got along wonderfully. I’m grateful for Tanqueray and the loving care she took of my pup.”
“Shirley is super sitter. Sent me cool slo mo vid of my pooch playing tricks. I was traveling thru and wanted to go to show in Chicago. She came to motel and picked up Bella. Highly recommend Shirley !!”
“Ms. Janet was amazing! My fur baby is older and very attached to me and Ms. Janet was great with making sure that Philly was comfortable. She also put me at ease with updates and pictures. I will definitely recommend her and use her again. I'm also considering daycare a few day a week.”

About: I have experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and care needs. My experience includes feeding according to specific schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic medications when needed, and providing companionship through playtime and affection while respecting each cat's comfort level and boundaries. I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and behaviors to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am attentive to signs of stress, illness, or changes in behavior and will communicate promptly with pet parents if I notice anything concerning. Whether caring for a playful kitten, an independent adult cat, or a senior cat with special needs, I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care and maintain a clean, calm environment. My goal is to ensure both cats and their owners have peace of mind throughout the booking.
“Jessica is SO GOOD with our kitty! Coraline is a lover and tends to get separation anxiety when we’re gone for an extended period of time. We feel much better knowing Jessica is checking in, taking care of, and playing playing with her. And Jessica always sends fantastic photos!”
About: I grew up with cats and have always had a deep love and respect for them and their unique personalities. I understand that cats aren’t all the same and that some take time to warm up and build trust. I truly value those moments when a cat feels comfortable enough to choose connection and affection on their own terms :) I’m patient, calm, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to pet care. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, a consistent feeding routine, litter box care, or simply a quiet and respectful presence while you’re away, I’m committed to following your instructions closely and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their environment. As a pet owner myself, I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your animal. I’ll provide dependable care, regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication so you can feel confident your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.
“I was nervous about traveling, since it had been many years since we needed a pet sitter, but Christine made it easy. She stayed in contact and let us know when she had dropped by, and the cats got everything they needed. We'll definitely hire her again!”
“I think our cats were disappointed when we returned home because they were hoping Kimberly would be back to visit! She did a great job with their medications, too. I'm going to feel a lot more comfortable being away from home knowing that Kimberly can take such good care of our cats.”
“Zulema takes the best pictures! Loved all the updates and she made sure our kitties were good to go every time she left! I definitely recommend her and will definitely keep booking her for the future!”
“Great communication, friendly and professional! Has experience with pitties, which is was a determining factor in our booking. Karen was very understanding and supportive of Diesel's needs.”
“Grace is wonderful! We appreciated Grace's detailed summaries after each visit, flexibility, and experience with our cat's special diet (and various medications). Will definitely book again. Thank you, Grace!”
“Janeth was an amazing sitter for our precious Mint! She took photos, sent us frequent updates, and really played and pampered Mint. We feel so happy to have found Janeth! She is reassuring, calm, and responsible. We highly recommend her!”
“Gaby was attentive and caring with my cat. Itty Bitty was a first timer with pet sitting and was very nervous. Gaby kept me up to date on my pet's status with pictures and text. She went out of her way to make my pet comfortable. Thanks again!”
“Max was very helpful when I booked him last minute. He was on time for all of his visits, took great photos of our elderly dog and was extremely gently and kind. He definitely has a special touch for animals!”
“Love and recommend NaBeela as your house/pet sitter! She sent daily pictures/updates and was a great guest while she stayed to watch over my needy cats - highly professional. My cats looked content in every picture!”

“Julian is very good with my sammy. He was gentle and kind and got my sammy to do things he was never doing in the house and that’s with one day with him! Julian kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout the day which really reassured me and my peace of mind. Definitely will be returning with sammy in the future!”
“Dayana was a great dogsitter to our puppy Honey. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day of Honey having fun and being taken on walks, and she was very nice and communicative. I will definitely be reaching back out for more dog sitting with Dayana!”
“I can’t recommend Mary enough! She stepped in last minute to take care of our pup, Monty, for a full day, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we met her, she was welcoming and friendly, giving us a tour of her lovely home, which put us at ease knowing Monty would be well cared for. Mary took Monty out for a walk, fed him, and even has grassy areas in her backyard for him to enjoy. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. It was clear he was having a great time! If you’re looking for someone to care for your pup, look no further than Mary. She truly is fantastic!”
“Thank you for having Addison over for a play date! Emily was easy to communicate with, accommodating to my schedule and send frequent status updates! Addison took a post play day nap within 10 mins of being home!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Emilia! She was incredibly kind, communicative and took great care of our pup during daycare. We appreciated the picture updates throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind to let us see how much fun our pup was having. It was clear he was happy and well cared for the entire time. We will book with her again!”
“Great experience with Ethel. We came in from out of town to watch a Red Stars game and she took care of our bernedoodle, Frankie. Ethel’s place is a very short way from SeatGeek Stadium and Frankie came back to us happy.”
“Christine was our life saver when we visited Chicago. It was a last minute booking and she accommodated us quickly. She loved our fur baby! Our Rollo had a blast with her and her beautiful cats ♥️ Thank you, Christine! We appreciate your love and care for fur babies.”
About: I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, all sizes and ages, several with serious medical needs. As a child, my family bred and raised Irish Setters and kept any pup that was not 100% healthy for adoption. Therefore I have experience with all aspects of pet care and I have raised my kids to do the same. We are Tara (49yr), Jaden (15yr) and Alia (12yr) and have been dog sitting for friends and family for years and really enjoy hosting pups to play with and pamper on the weekends since unfortunately we are not home enough during the week to provide adequate care and attention to a full time pup. Our three kitties are very accustomed to dogs but we have plenty of room to separate them if they overstimulate your doggy. Our three level home, plus large back yard, will give your pup plenty of room to play inside and out! We typically run and play in the backyard during potty breaks and go out for several walks a day. The yard is only 90% fenced so I have several 50ft leashes around the yard to provide the illusion of freedom while maintaining safety. If your pup is high energy, they can also play with the neighbor’s dogs or we can take a trip to the dog park so they can socialize and run with other pups. I assure you they will get lots of cuddles and attention and I will send photos and vids of your pup to you throughout their stay! I am available for boarding in my home on the weekends, beginning Friday evening through Monday morning. I can also board at your home from Saturday morning through Sunday evening. I will treat your pet like a member of the family! If they get muddy in the backyard I have no problem giving them a bath and brushing them. They are welcome on the furniture and will not be left alone while they are in my care.
“Karen is the best! Haku is so happy to see her every time. I really appreciated how flexible and understanding she was even with unexpected changes to my work schedule. Wonderful person, we are so excited to see her again soon!”
“Best experience yet!!! Alex is amazing!! Her residence is a pet paradise!! She is definitely the true dog whisperer. My Dutton was in Heaven with his new pack of furballs!! Alex is such an unbelievable host and truly as good as it gets!!”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting and house-sitting for clients locally for the past 15 years. I’m an avid animal advocate and treat others pets like my own. In my spare time as a health coach, I enjoy researching pet wellness and nutrition. My clients know when they go out of town that their pet is in good hands. My current schedule and availability for pet-sitting is open, as I complete additional training for health coaching. I also work remote but have flexibility on the weekdays and I’m open on weekends. I provide care for your pets based off the directions and specifications provided. All pets are completely unique and have different needs and levels of care. I enjoy providing extra attention and play to dogs/cats who have anxiety. This can get overlooked when families are busy in their routines, and is so important for pet wellness. I have many friends who have pets with “behavioral issues,” that end up being alleviated with some extra attention, love and play.
“Athena took great care of our pup for daycare. She provided updates, was very caring and attentive for our pup. Athena was very knowledgeable and asked all the right questions prior to taking care of our dog, which helped make the process very easy and gave us peace of mind. We recommend her!”
“Kayla goes above and beyond! She stays in touch with you including w pics the whole time your pet is with her. She is very obviously a dog lover. Will request her over and over again. So lucky to have found her!”
“Sabrina is fantastic! Was flexible and accomdating to my schedule. Buddy had a great time at Sabrina’s place with her 2 girl pups. They are all played nice together. Sabrina sent me updates and photos throughout the day which was nice and reassuring. You can tell Sabrina has a serious sweet love for dogs and will treat yours like her own. Thanks Sabrina for taking great care of Buddy! Will use your services again soon.”
About: I’ve always had dogs & as we all know love and enjoy the beauty they bring to our lives. I lost a pet in 2023 and know the anxiety and stress that can come from leaving your pets with someone new. I promise to love and care for them as they are my own. Happy to send lots of photos and videos as well! I work remotely full-time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet lots of love and attention! I am able to take pets any day during the week and on Saturdays. I have a fenced in yard for plenty of outdoor play, and a great walkable neighborhood. I have my own miniature dachshund (Opie) & German shepherd (Jax) who are the best of friends and love to play! Happy to provide bathing, and blow drying at request.

“Jessica is wonderful! She has been very patient with our young, energetic (and sometimes poorly behaved) pit bull. She also has been patient with me, my husband, and our frequently changing schedule. Thank you for being so great and dependable!”
About: I am a grad student in education and just moved to Chicago from Detroit, and sadly my lab and kitties had to stay in Michigan due to my living situation. I've taken care of my dogs, and cats my whole life. I love all animals, and have spent time in the state of Michigan being a dog walker for a small local dog walking business. I have house sat for a few different cats along the way as well. From small-large dogs i'm comfortable around them all! I can be available for the summer Monday-Sunday, Come august 26th, My availability will be MWF and saturday/sunday. Mornings-Evenings I can be available at anytime. I always make sure to see if the owners have any specfic instrutions first and foremost. I will always greet the dog/cat first in calm manner, have them sniff me, say hi, get used to me. Then we get ready for a walk, on walks I'm extremely aware on my surroundings and what could happen or not happen. Water bowls are always full, food at the time the owners said. I make sure to make friends with the animals, and their safety/comfort comes first and foremost. This all will go with cats as well! I tend to be more cautious with the cats so they know i'm there to take care of them.
“Jessica is marvelous! My dog EllieBean takes a while to warm up to new people. Jessica took her time over several visits to gain EB's trust. She was patient and professional, even when the weather and EB were a challenge. They have now become great friends. In addition, Jessica is a pleasure to work with and always shows up on time. I'm so grateful to have found Jessica!”
“Jim has been such a positive addition and our puppy Juno is so excited to see him and her behavior has become noticeably calmer since starting her walks with Jim.”
“Tamara is so patient with our anxious dog! Our dog warmed up so quickly to Tamara and its a relief knowing our pup will be looking forward to walks while we are away at work. Tamara sends great updates and leaves notes to let us know how our dog is doing while we are at the office. She even came for a meet and greet to make sure our dog felt safe with her before her first walk.”
About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the holidays with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away! I have access to a car and am eager to work. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.
“Angelina is fantastic with Griffey! She is super communicative, punctual, and makes me feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Love the updates and photos too; it’s clear she really cares. Highly recommend!!”
About: As a cat parent myself, I like to make sure my little one is taken care for when I step out. They all need their space but it’s important that they know someone is there to take care of them. I can be that person giving them space while also providing head scratches when they need it! I currently work part time on the weekends so I would say that I have more flexibility during the week to look after your pets. I make sure all pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for with plenty of attention, fresh water, and a calm environment. If provided, I would make sure to follow specific instructions to ensure that your pets receive the best care possible.
About: If you have an anxious dog or if you’re an anxious dog parent, then I’m probably the sitter for you. I have a fur baby of my own, my 1 year old beagle Pete, and he is an extremely energetic, mischievous, stubborn, and anxious little guy. I’ve raised Pete since he was 11 weeks old, so I know all there is to know about puppies and take caring for them very seriously. As someone who follows a pretty structured routine for an anxious dog, I know how important it is to stick to schedules and make sure pets are getting enough walks, enrichment, playtime, love, and attention to help them feel safe and settled while their parent is away. I’ve personally paid people a lot of money to care for Pete because I ask for a lot (literally down to leaving instructions to keep Gilmore Girls on the TV because he likes it lol), so trust me when I say there is nothing “too much” or “too specific” that you can ask of me. I completely understand how important routines and comfort are for our pets because I’m the exact same way with my own dog. I also have experience administering medications and caring for dogs after neutering and medical issues. Pete has dealt with prostate issues, so I’m comfortable handling medication schedules and paying close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines. It’s also worth mentioning that Pete, being a beagle, eats EVERYTHING and keeps me on my toes at all times. Because of that, I’ve become incredibly diligent, patient, observant, and adaptable. Some dogs are calm and cuddly, while others need more play, structure, patience, or stimulation and I’m comfortable adapting to all kinds of personalities and needs. As a dog mom myself I know how reassuring it is to get updates while you’re away, so I’ll happily communicate as much as you’d like. Expect lots of updates, photos, videos, and honest communication. I’m also never afraid to ask questions if I need clarification because I’d rather do things correctly than make assumptions. Most importantly, I want people to know I’m dependable and trustworthy. If you tell me your dog needs a 30 minute walk, we’re doing a full 30 minute walk. If your dog eats from a snuffle mat, has a specific bedtime routine, or can’t be alone after dark, I’m going to follow those instructions exactly as asked. I know how hard it is to trust someone else with your baby, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Right now I’m focusing on walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays in clients’ homes rather than bringing additional pets into my own home environment. Pet care already plays a big role in my daily routine, so I’m very comfortable maintaining structured schedules, walks, feeding routines, potty breaks, enrichment, and consistent care. I’m available throughout the day and evening Thursday through Sunday, and I also offer weekday availability Monday through Wednesday during early mornings and evenings. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I totally get how important trust and consistency is when someone is caring for your pet (I am that person that has given our dog sitter a 4 pager play by play of my puppy’s routine lol!). I’m very attentive to routines, safety, and following owner instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, crate routines, medication, walks, enrichment, or household rules. I always prioritize keeping pets calm, comfortable, and secure in their familiar environment and will communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am so diligent with my own fur baby when it comes to structure but also play time and potty time- so when I say I’m going to ensure your pet has all those things I mean it! At this time, I focus on care in clients’ homes and individualized attention rather than bringing additional pets into my own home environment (my fur baby is definitely an only child lol).
About: I am very caring and compassionate for animals and pets. I have a cat of my own named Bruni and he is my best friend. Attentive and reliable pet care is assured with me as your pet sitter! I work as a teacher so my morning and afternoons are busy up until 3:30pm. However, I am available after those hours. I do have days off due to breaks, for example, winter break, where I can be reliable all day during those times. I have a cat of my own that I attend to 24/7. Therefore, I am very familiar with pets’ needs. I will assure you great communication and punctuality.
About: UPDATE JULY 2024, PLEASE READ: If you see that my reply time is incredibly slow, it's because my account was inactive for a while due to my dad being hospitalized. I had to help care for him for a long period of time and I was unable to reply to any messages on Rover. My dad is okay now and I am available for walks and sitting again. I was a dog groomer for almost 2 years. I'm well-trained in animal safety. I care deeply about all animals, so I'll form a bond with your animals. I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have loads of time to provide love for your animals of any kind! Just let me know what you need/what you're looking for! I understand the basics of taking care of dogs, cats and other animals just like most pet sitters. But I also provide what some sitters don't: love! I'm very sweet and I can give your animals great love and care. Plus, I'll provide some pretty amazing photos of them. If anything out of the ordinary does happen, I will do my best to help and I will contact you immediately.
About: I've owned and taken care of a multitude of pets from a young age, mostly stray dogs and cats, that my family took in. I'm especially comfortable around and handling strong, large dogs as some past breeds I've owned include a Rottweiler, Doberman, and Newfoundland. In my lifetime, I've also owned and cared for 10 different cats, as well as other animals including fish, rats, rabbits, and snakes. I'm currently working in the animal care field as a dolphin trainer and some individual dolphins I've cared for have reached 600+ pounds. That being said, no animal is too large or intimidating for me! This also means I have a really good understanding of animal behavior and psychology which is necessary for excellent animal care. I currently work 4 days a week, usually Saturday-Tuesday. The other days, I'm usually home most of the day doing schoolwork, except when I leave to go to the gym or grocery store. On days I work, I can't take dogs out as frequently, but I do come home during my lunch break to let my own dogs run around in the fenced in yard. I do have two huskies that your dog can socialize and play with while I'm at work. They are somewhat lazy and are very content to lounge while I'm away. I also leave on relaxing music when I'm at work and a large washable potty pad, just in case. The use of potty pads is highly debated, but I personally don't feel comfortable forcing pets to hold it for long periods of time, especially because I wouldn't do that to myself. On workdays, I take my dogs on long morning and evening walks and would be happy to bring your dog along. On days I'm at home, my pets are let out into the yard very frequently (~2-3 hours) to potty and play. When not playing in the yard, they're usually lounging, cuddling with me while I do my schoolwork, or playing with some sort of enrichment toy that I've provided. The home is out in the countryside on a large plot of land with lots of greenery and shade, and a fenced-in dog play area in the back. While I work, I typically take my dogs out to play in the yard. I will often sit out with my work laptop and watch them! I provide a very safe, relaxing environment where your dog will be treated like family. This also applies when I do house-sitting, drop-ins, and dog walks. I approach care with a proactive approach, rather than reactive. This means I always keep a close eye on individual pet behavior as subtle cues can indicate how a pet is feeling at a given moment. Many pet owners miss out on these cues, especially if they aren't trained to look for them. Overall, this means I try my best to create a safe environment for and trusting bond with any animal I work with via positive reinforcement and never push past an individual's limits.
About: I am currently the owner of a goldendoodle named Koa . I have had dogs my entire life from Golden Retrievers to Cavapoos. I love spending time outside with my dog and can provide the appropriate attention your dog deserves. I am available most days of the week as I am a consultant who works from home. I am very patient and loving towards animals. In addition, I am also very close to local dog parks and if you'd like, i'd love to take your dog there to be able to socialize with other dogs. Thank you for your consideration! I work from home as a consultant and have ability to give your dog that attention he/she deserves. I am able to provide excellent attention and consistent walks. My dog Koa is allowed on the furniture and is truly a member of the family. You can expect the same care and freedom for your dogs if they are to stay with me.

About: I started pet sitting as a teenager for neighbors and family friends. Since then, I have watched all types of dogs, including senior dogs. I became a dog owner for the first time in my mid-twenties. He was an elderly beagle mix with health issues. After he passed, I grieved until I was ready to own a dog again. Then I had ten wonderful years with Shadow, a husky mix who was a stray that made his way to a rescue. He bravely fought lymphoma for 1.5 years before succumbing to the disease. Through that time, I provided medication, took him for chemotherapy, and spoiled him until he decided it was time to cross the rainbow bridge. Shadow's absence still leaves a void in my heart that is filled by caring for other people's dogs. I love all types of dogs, and have experience with small to large, young and old, as well as dogs living with various health issues. Giving dog owners the security and piece of mind knowing their furry family members are safe and sound while they are away is a responsibility that I take very seriously. My husband and I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood and our backyard is fully fenced. As a dog lover himself, anyone who books with me gets their pup double the love. My full time job is permanently remote, so I am able to be at home with your dog at all times. No matter their schedule, I can meet it because I can be here to fulfill their needs. I have a fenced in yard for safety, and a dog-friendly neighborhood where your dog will feel right at home. I know every dog has different needs, so I can follow the habits you have created with them to maintain consistency. Whether that is crate training or sleeping on the couch, I will follow your instructions. I know that dogs are family, and treat them as such.
“Lorraine helped us with our dogs over the weekend and was fantastic! She replied right away when we were booking and provided us with pictures and updates through the dogs stay. Her place was great and had a fenced in yard. She was very attentive to our dogs needs and had them ready to go at pick up. We will definitely have our dogs stay with Lorraine again.”
“Thank you Tabitha! Rocco had the BEST sleepover. Lots of play time, lots of outside time, and tons of love. Tabitha even made Rocco an Easter basket with doggie treats. She was super patient with him when he was nervous on night one and kept me well informed over the weekend with tons of pictures and updates. He came home happy, clean and we are so grateful for her love.”
“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”
“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 :)”
“My Bogey always acted like we were abandoning him at the shelter when we dropped him off in boarding environments, but after meeting Katherine and her crew, he was excited to explore with his new friends, and the photos that Katherine sent proved he was having a great time. They have a very lovely and dog friendly home and yard and you can tell they get to know the pets they care for. We will absolutely use them again.”
“Tamara had great communication and made me feel at ease since it was my first time using this service. My dog loved her stay, and came home tired and happy! Will definitely book again when I need it. Thank you!”
“My dog is like my child and she takes very good care of him she send me pictures and videos I don’t even have to ask I never worry with her. Her house is very clean she has a yard for him to run in I won’t use anyone else.”
“If you are feeling uneasy about booking a person to care for your dog, look no further! Dayana is the absolute best and took phenomenal care of both my dogs. She kept me updated by sending videos and pictures. My dogs had the best time. She even did a cute photo shoot with my dogs. She was very attentive and loving to my dogs. Don’t think twice and book her! I’ll be selecting her for my upcoming trips.”
“Ruben WILL treat your pup(s) as his own. He is so genuine with his love and care for dogs. He is very communicative; he sends pictures and videos random, and as you ask. He dog sat my two dogs, a boy and a girl for three days. On day one I kept bothering him asking how my dogs were doing. And from the pictures and videos he provided I was able to see my dogs enjoyed being with him. So the next two days I left him alone because I was able to see my dogs felt his love! And that’s very important to me. Go with Ruben. Pick Ruben to watch over your dogs. Our pups feed off of our pawrent energies and Ruben can provide the same for your dogchild/ren.”
“Judith was amazing. Cared greatly for our pets. Was very flexible and accommodating of us and even did a pick-up/drop-off for us. Our sweet pup came back bathed and our kitty cat easily adjusted to her environment. Favorite sitter, will definitely rely on Judith for all of our external pet care and boarding needs.”
“You and your family were truly wonderful. Thank you so much for embracing my fur baby and making him feel right at home. The constant reassurance, the beautiful pictures, and the updates meant more to me than you know. I could tell he was being loved and well cared for the entire time. You were also incredibly flexible and attentive, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful for the care you gave — we will definitely be back! A++++++++”
“Genuinely the most kind hearted and understanding person I have ever met in my life. Was so patient and flexible during the most chaotic move I have ever experienced.”
“Ashley was great and took great care of our dog. She was communicative and sent a bunch of photos to make sure we were updated on how he was doing. Took him to the dog park, on walks, etc. Made us feel completely at ease while we were on a trip.”
“Jaqueline is a great sitter and we highly recommend her for taking care of any dogs. We have an anxious rescue and Jaqueline was really patient and communicative with us, and made her space welcoming. She sends lots of pictures and we’re so happy she and Casper took such good care of our dog!”
“Ania did a great job taking care of Dalí. He is very shy and needs time adjusting to new people. She was very gentle with him, and even took him on a couple of walks leading up to our reservation to make sure he was comfortable with her. Ania was responsive, accommodated Dalí’s needs, and sent pictures/video updates. I have already booked another boarding reservation with her.”
“Angel has been a great sitter for my two dogs! We have a very elderly dog that needs a lot of attention and Angel has been so great with him. My dogs always come home happy and seem to have a great time when staying with him!”
“Deijah was very quick to respond to my request to watch my baby Arlo at the last minute for the weekend while my husband and I went out of town. She was very easy to get in touch with and sent me updates and pictures frequently. Arlo clearly loved his stay because he was SO tired when he got home. Thank you!”
