“Jo’Ell was wonderful, super responsive, and the dogs all loved her. We couldn’t believe how quickly they went with her at drop off, they were so calm and settled. She kept us updated throughout her time with them with photos and messages, and we knew they were in great hands. We would definitely love to have Jo’Ell watch them again, highly recommend.”
“Pennie was wonderful. I had never left my golden retriever with anyone. Pennie kept in touch and sent a lot of pictures showing Abbey was doing well. I can tell she was well cared for. I will definitely use Pennie again.”
“The furbabies had so much fun at Jessica's and were "dog tired" the entire next day following their return home. Booking was easy, pick up and drop off were a breeze, and she even sent a video of the dogs playing! Will book again.”
“River enjoyed her stay again and the drop off pick up was super easy and Justine was ready to go. They gave us photos each and kept us up to date. We will be back again. River enjoyed being able to hangout with the kiddos as she's a social people loving dog.”
“This is our second time with Vanessa due to an emergency and last minute reservations. She was accommodating and was willing to help any way she could. Our dog just loves her and we can tell he gets very spoiled lol. She is so attentive and loving. She’s the only one I would leave my dog with. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets like family Book with Vanessa. Thank you again Vanessa! 😃”
“First time I’ve ever used a service like this and she was so understanding and easy to talk to. She had very quick responses from the start. And even when she had my dog Nova in her care she sent picture updates periodically which was so sweet because my mama heart was anxious. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“Christina’s family is so caring and loving! You can tell how much their kids enjoy hanging out with Milo and accepted him as part of the family. It’s so great to see how sweet their dog Brydie is too! I know he always has a great experience with Christina and her family 💗”
“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!”
“Connie was incredible! She was so sweet with Rocky, and great with communicating and sending updates/photos. I’ll definitely be using Connie the next time I’m out of town!”
“Kaya has stayed here a couple times and all went well. She enjoyed her stay, interacting with other dogs, and Lynda's nice back yard. Regular updates with video were great. We felt Kaya was very safe in Lynda's care. Lynda is very organized making drop offs and pick ups very easy.”
“Fantastic Dogsitter! We had a very bad experience with a previous Dogsitter and were worried about how our next sitter would be. We felt very comfortable with Jackie, her family and her lovely home, right from our first meet and greet. She is obviously a dog lover! She gave daily updates, with adorable pictures and went above and beyond when our boy had an open sore (see above) that needed to be tended to. We have definitely found a gem!”
“Our 7 month old puppy stayed with Wayne for a week. Wayne was organized and quick with communication. The dogs have plenty of outdoor time and play. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. Our pup seemed very happy when we picked him up!”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of our 2.5 year old Mae again! They treated her like family and she had a great frolicking with their family dogs and visiting guest dogs. Very accommodating with some minor changes to our plans. Thank you!”
“Heather and Israel were great - always responsive, let us know how things were going and our pup was adapting while we were gone for the weekend. Our flight was cancelled and they were so kind to watch our pup an extra night and be flexible with the pickup time. Our pup had so much fun and we will definitely use them again!”
“We left our 14 week old puppy for the first time with Morgan and Ross and were so relieved of the care she received! We received pictures and videos, showing that Navy was not only well taken care of, but that she was also having fun. We will definitely be using Morgan and Ross in the future to watch Navy!”
“Went above and beyond my expectations! Darrilyn clearly loves dogs and treats each dog with individual, personal care. She also made sure I felt comfortable - lots of updates and talked me through what to expect!”
“We have used Beatrice services for watching our 10 year old Pit Mix multiple times now. Mj loves going over to her house, I know she will be safe and loved and Beatrice is quick to respond and always is sending updates and pictures. She also was willing to add the service of bringing MJ home for us which was a huge help. We will continue to use Beatrice in the future!! Highly recommend!”

“We had an excellent experience with Gabi. She always showed up on time, followed all instructions/requests with perfection, kept the house clean and showered lots of love on our precious kitty Monroe. Because of her, we were able to actually enjoy our vacation. Thank you Gabi.”
“We went away for the weekend. Bonnie stopped by everyday to check on our kitties. Also very helpful with checking the mail and putting out the trash. We were put at ease every day with lots of pictures. Thanks Bonnie!! PS-Doc says hi!”
“Nina did such a great job taking care of our cat Carl when we were out of town! We contacted her last minute but she was more than happy to help us. Nina gave us great updates and we could tell she made Carl feel very comfortable. Will definitely be working with her again!”
“Heather was awesome to work with. She visited my pets twice weekly during a holiday week. Each visit she sent detailed updates with lots of pics which helped me feel more at ease about being away. She was professional and very good about communicating with me if she had a question. Most important she followed my detailed instructions. I highly recommend Heather. We’re looking forward to working with her again. Thanks Heather!”
“Samantha is by far the best cat sitter I’ve had! She’s incredibly detail-oriented—she even double-checked with me about how much food to give the cats after I first told her a full pouch, then later mentioned it was actually half a pouch. Her communication is excellent! She’s super responsive and always leaves detailed notes after each visit, addressing every task I asked for. What really stood out to me was how attentive she was to the cats’ health—when I asked about their stool, she gave a clear update and even noted the size and consistency, which reassured me that both cats were doing great. It genuinely feels like she treats your pets as if they were her own. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Samantha—she’s amazing!”
“2X using Lauchlan for drop in visits. Again, was very happy with her! Punctual, flexible with times, and she is attentive to my concerns with my cat!! Would highly recommend & will use again if needed. Thank you Lauchlan!”
“I needed a last-minute drop-in visit for my rabbits while I was out of town, and she was able to help on very short notice. She communicated well, checked on my pets promptly, and made sure they had what they needed. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help when I was feeling worried. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Xiaotong was an excellent sitter. She sent us several pics and videos each day showing the kittens. They were always happily waiting for her at the door. She left everything clean and organized. I’m so happy knowing she was in charge while we were gone. We will definitely book Xiaotong again!”
“My shy, 'scaredy cat' disappears & hides from anyone coming into our house..until Amy put him at ease coaxing him gently out of hiding; Amy has a very gentle approach & a soothing voice. She sent a photo each day to me of Sebastien enjoying her company, getting belly rubs, sitting or sleeping next to her on the sofa. He never reacted that way with other sitters I've had. Amy is the best 'cat whisperer'. I will always request her whenever we are out of town.”
“Glen did an excellent job taking care of Coco. He gave her a walk, made lunch and all the required water and bathroom breaks. We will leave coco again under the excellent care of Glen.”
“Cheryl goes above and beyond with the care she provides to my pets. My kitties love her💜🐾. Even my shy cat that usually doesn’t come out when there’s other people around has bonded with her. She is kitty approved and I am a repeat client.”
“I can’t enough AMAZING things about Megan! She has been a God-sent for our new baby Onix and she cares for him so much! She is careful with what he encounters outside and is helpful keeping consistency with us on his command words we are training him with.”
“Charlotte was a wonderful sitter and made me feel so comfortable throughout my trip away from my babies (w cats)! Will be booking again the next time I’m away.”

“This was my first time sending my puppy-Leo to a daycare. Darrilyn was amazing! She took really good care of my dog. She sent photos and kept me updated. Leo had a great time and he looked happy. I will definitely recommend her services and will rebook. ❤️”
“We did not have a lot of interaction with Pennie as our plans were rather last minute. We dropped our dog ioff for the first time early in the morning and picked her up late that evening. Our dog came home happy and very much herself. This is a big deal because normally our dog comes home from boarding anywhere and is unhappy and sometimes even sick from stress. This tells me Pennie went to great lengths to make her happy and comfortable. Would definitely use Pennie again.”
“It’s hard to tire out my Bob but he is snoozing beside me right now. Thank you for all the love and care given to him and the great pics and details. He is going to sleep well tonight. :)”

My services may include dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, refreshing water, litter box cleaning, and companionship. I also make sure pets stay mentally and physically stimulated through playtime, enrichment activities, and gentle exercise. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away I have experience caring for pets both personally and for family and friends. I have cared for cats and dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Through this experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care, and I always treat every pet with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs and cats ranging in new puppies and kittens to the senior citizens of the pet world. I am currently retired and have a flexible schedule. I am available seven days a week and enjoy getting to know new dogs and cats. I am readily accessible to the Riverwalk for long walks. I have permit for my dog at the DuPage Dog Parks and am very familiar with the parks in the greater Naperville Wheaton area.
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”
“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.”
About: My husband and I are both absolute dog lovers. We have more than 10 yrs of dog care experience with a range of dog breeds. We have a Labrador of our own - who's our everything...he's our baby... he's made our life awesome. We cannot get enough of puppies which us why we would love to host your dogs when you are out of town or at work. We'll always be in touch with you so you can see how comfortable they are. We also have a car in case required On any given day of the week, either my husband or I, or the two of us work from home. So the pups will always be supervised. I have a fenced yard for the pups to play and a labrador to play with them. Plenty of exercise and playtime to spend their energy.
“We had a wonderful experience with Michelle! She took such great care of our Mini Aussie. Michelle was incredibly communicative throughout the day, sent plenty of photos and updates, and made us feel completely at ease. It was obvious that she is experienced, caring, and truly loves dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with Michelle again. Highly recommend!”
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.
“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.”
“So grateful, in such short notice, she came through in a pinch and took amazing care of my 12 week old pup that needed lots of attention. She made a challenging day for my family so much better, thank you!!!!”
“Ingrida is amazing !!!!!!! Willakea enjoyed her time here so so so much. Nothing but good vibes xx cheers! I’m so happy to say we’ve found our favorite doggie day care in town :)”

“Jackson I 10/10 recommend!! I will be scheduling with him again in the future! As a new user on here I was very skeptical with all of this. I have a big pup who is very hyper-active. He was amazing and very professional with all aspects. From the communication, reassurance, and detailed plan (he will provide). I felt so much better about this process! I know my dog can be a lot for other people but he was a champ!! Thank you so much again! For taking care of my baby as your own✨✨✨✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼”

About: I’ve handled pets of my own and have provided at home care for friends or family members my whole life. When needed I’ve boarded animals at my own home for friends or family. There’s nothing like a good break with furry friends that helps the day go by. Currently I have a flexible scheduled and enjoy the opportunity. I always make sure that animals are given loving attention. It’s important that they are provided with the bathroom, sleeping and toy accommodations they deserve and the exercise they need. I understand the need for routine.
