Personalized care for your dog or cat - Glen Ellyn

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Glen Ellyn
“Justine was extremely generous with her time and provided a safe and loving environment for our senior dog who is 15 years old and blind. I did not want our dog to be in a setting with too many other dogs which would make him nervous and on top of that he takes medications. This was a family style setting and Justine and her family treated my dog like family. That’s the best quality experience you could ask for.”

“We really appreciate Matt and Michelle taking such good care of Lucky for us during our wedding and honeymoon trip. They provided frequent updates and photos, we could tell Lucky became a part of their family and felt comfortable. Would absolutely book again!”


“Amberley did a great job watching my dog, Herbie! She sent plenty of updates throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When Herbie wasn't interested in eating his dog food, she even took the time to make him some chicken to make sure he ate. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I would definitely book with Amberley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

“Lucy stayed with Amanda & Anton while we went on a vacation for a week. Lucy seemed very happy and was well cared for. It was so nice to receive photos and updates. Thank you!”

“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”

“Lynda took care of my dog, Beamer, for a couple of days. This was the first time I had to leave her with someone and I was so worried because she has separation anxiety. Linda sent me pictures and I could see that Beamer was very comfortable in her new surroundings. In fact, I was a little hurt because the dog was doing so well she didn’t seem to miss me one bit! I was so relieved and am very happy that, when I have to go somewhere without her, she is in good hands!”

“I just love Ashley, as do my girls! I felt so at ease knowing how well my girls were being cared for. I have had a couple bad experiences with other sitters, but Ashley has revived my confidence in Rover. We are so happy to have found Ashley 😀”

About: I can do general grooming including nail/claw trims. I also can give medication if needed, I enjoy going outside on walks and also playing with any type of animal I go to college currently and have an occasional job working for a delivery company but animals are my passion so I look forward to working with them I make sure to always stick to instructions given to me word for word and want your furry friends as safe and comfortable as possible
“Michelle is a LIFE SAVER! After Elmhurst Animal Hospital wrongfully canceled my boarding reservations at the last minute, I scrambled to find someone to watch my 3 small dogs. I found Michelle and she was quick to respond and accept my fur babies for the stay! Michelle and her 2 little girls took AMAZING care of them, sending update reports and pics too. This gave me peace of mind that they were being well cared for! Michelle was also very accommodating when I needed to drop them off early than originally scheduled. I will definitely be utilizing Michelle's services again in the future!”

“I recommend Britanny a million times. From drop off to pickup she was very communicative sending pictures almost every day. She babied him and showed him love. My pup couldn’t have been in better hands. A+++ experience. Thank you Britanny and family.”

“Courtney B is the most outstanding dog sitter ever. And, it’s a family affair. Her husband picks up and drops off and her kids love on your pet all weekend long. We choose them first every time!”

“Our little guy had another great stay. Kelly and Tariq are very welcoming and kind. Our dog ran right into their house and made himself at home. Highly recommend this family to care for your fur baby.”
“So happy with Kaya’s stay at Elise’s house. Her dog and Kaya got along so well. Elise provided us updates throughout the stay, which put us at ease. Definitely coming back for more stays! Highly recommend”

“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”


“Valentina is a gem and took very good care of Charlie for 5 days! She updated me daily with texts/photos, which was very appreciated. I would highly recommend her for dog sitting!!”

“Terri took such loving care of our dog! She was very proactive in understanding what would help him adjust to being away from home, and provided daily updates and checked in when it was appropriate and helpful! She went above and beyond to look after him so well!”

About: I bring patience, genuine love, and experience to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a lively puppy needing basic training and socialization or a senior pet requiring gentle care and medication, I adapt my approach to fit their unique needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, reinforcing commands like sit and stay, and providing extra cuddles or calm companionship when needed. What truly sets me apart is my dedication to communication—I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel connected and confident. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or cozy evenings with a furry friend, I structure my day to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and at home—whether it’s just for a day or a whole week. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I follow all feeding, potty, and playtime instructions closely and give plenty of love, attention, and gentle care. I make sure your pet feels safe, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping things calm and quiet.
“Excellent and attentive service! We really appreciate the time and care Rosie showed our dog. She made sure to keep us informed and shared pictures of his stay. We will definitely use her services again.”

“Nina took great care of our dog. She went above and beyond to help calm him when he was rattled and nervous in a new setting and there was bad weather. He had lots of space to run and play in her yard. She sent a picture and update every day.”

“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”


“Carly: What can we say. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Three days of check ins,with our fur baby, and she was wonderful, well fed, and sassy as ever. You put in the extra effort and searched her out, and I know how hard it is to find a kitten. You found her and sent us pictures every day. You made us feel so much better, having to leave her for the first time. Thanks for bringing in our mail and even the package, you even fixed Maggie's swing. Truly the best ever!”


“Melissa was great at communicating her availability around her schedule and gave great updates about our cats throughout the visit. We would definitely work with Melissa again!”


“I'll always be booking Ash and I may start planning my vacations around Ash's availability (kind of joking :) ). We have a reserved cat that Ash has been great with. Timely, great summaries, and great pictures of the visit that just leave me at ease. Don't hesitate to book Ash. You won't regret it.”

“I am very happy and impressed with Ashley. She took great care of my cat and fish. I really appreciate that she also played with my cat and washed his food dishes. I highly recommend Ashley!”

“Tinky our year old kitty who has never seen other dogs or cats, let alone share space with them was nervous at first yet with the expert knowledge, care and experience of Dayna, she was able to interact (on her terms lol) with the other animals successfully! We really enjoyed our time away further because Dayna would text us daily updates on her progress along with photos which we really appreciated! Highly recommend!!”


“Heather did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. She took care of all their needs such as food & litterbox, and spent time playing with and petting them during her daily visit. Our girls are shy of strangers but she was able to coax them into trusting her in a very short time! She got the cutest pictures and sent them to us daily with an update on how they were doing. I felt very confident they were getting excellent care while we were away. Would definitely book her again!”


“Leila was a big help. I booked her for last minute for multiple hours, and she didn’t bat an eye. She just asked where, when and what do you need from me? (In a good way). She completely exceeded expectations and I hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”

“We had Rachel stay with our 2 cats while we were away. She was very kind and gave them lots of attention. She sent us detailed updates and pictures, which is always appreciated! We will definitely rebook in the future 😊”


“Amberley was a wonderful sitter. She is reliable, communicative, responds quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our cat. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Victoria took excellent care of my cat while I was away for a few days. She provided clear communication, prompt check-ins, and detailed statuses with pictures which gave me ease of mind while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. So thankful for her excellent service!”


“Beth was a huge help for us while we were traveling! The peace of mind knowing that our cats were taken care of and getting good human interaction was great. Both cats warmed right up to her, and her updates were always clear that food/water/litter had been taken care of. Thanks Beth!”

About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.
“Catherine was wonderful with our cats. Our senior cat needs meds twice daily, and I knew a stranger could have difficulty finding her and giving her meds - certainly not a job for the little neighbor girl. When I read that Catherine works with animals and has had cats, herself, I felt like we could actually leave our cat behind; after we met her, we knew we were leaving them in trusted hands. Catherine said she got her medicine without a hitch, and she even gave the cats treats and made our younger cats' first time home alone go very smoothly. We came home to happy cats. We will definitely work with her again!”

“Karissa is awesome. My Stu has so much fun and I love the photos and updates she shares. Any pup would be lucky to spend some time with Karissa, her people and fur family. Glad I found her!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly a passion of mine. I currently have one dog and two cats who are a huge part of my family, we love them dearly and treat all pets in our home the same way. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding, and my schedule is very open. I live near several trails and parks, so walks and outdoor time are a big part of the experience here. I also have a very active 8 year old Lab named Layla who absolutely adores people and other dogs. She’s friendly, playful, and loves having company. Because I have two cats in the home, visiting dogs must be cat-friendly. At this time, I’m not able to accommodate pit bulls or pit mixes. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I aim to make them feel right at home while they’re with us. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! In my home your pet will be family to us. While your pup is in my home, she will go on walks and plays right along side my dog. Your pet will have full range of our home, and will be treated no differently than my dog, so your dog might come home more spoiled than ever!
About: I been taking of pets since in high school from my own to my neighbors. I love being around animals.it’s a joy to be able to care for pets. There will be at least 2-3 walks a day along side of taking them out to potty. Your pet will be teeter like part of the family , spoiling them with lots of goodies and love. I’m on leave from work so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet. I am up bright and early every day so I would be spending time with pets most of the day. I have teenager boys who love helping out with animals and being around them. I have back area where I can set areas of play up for pets.
About: We’ve provided care for both our own and others' pets since we were children. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted us to feed, water, play with, walk, and board their pets when they travel. Having lived both in the country and in town, we have both loved and cared for our own and others' cats and dogs for several years in several environments. We both have flexible working schedules, especially in the summer. We have plenty of time to devote to your beloved pet and are used to juggling multiple tasks. My husband and I live in a three bedroom house in Carol Stream, just outside Wheaton. We have a large yard with a 3-sided fence in which pets would be very safe with proper supervision. Pets would be welcome to lay and sleep wherever they are most comfortable - on our furniture, in one of our two beds, or in their own beds or crates. We are animal lovers and have had our own animals in our home. We have welcomed many a new pet into our home, so your pet would receive our love and care while staying at our home.
“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!”

“Michelle is amazing, the absolute best! I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. She is extremely patient and accommodating. When I was late on pickup due to my crazy hours as a nurse, she was extremely sweet and flexible. My puppy is young and still learning and she was very adaptable with her. I love that my pup was able to socialize with her little ones which allowed her to have fun while getting some energy out. I’m so happy to have found someone that loved and cared for my girl as much as I do! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for daycare!”

“Jean and Al did a great job taking care of Ardal and making sure he was happy and safe playing with their other clients. I got back a very happy, very tired puppy. Thanks again!”

About: Hi! I am Monika and I currently live in Platt Park area. I am free most weekends and I absolutely love all animals especially dogs! I will take care of your dog like it is my own. I know how hard it is to leave your dog alone all day or while on vacation and I would love to help out to make their day more special. I volunteer at Dumb Friends League animal shelter as a dog walker and I have always had dogs in my life except for right now. I am friendly, responsive and like to be outdoors. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a wonderful day!
“Iris was amazing with our pup! He’s not perfect and she was so kind and accepting of his needs. Her home is dog friendly and made us feel very comfortable. She’s knowledgeable on all things dogs and truly spoiled our Oscar. We have already planned our next trip and know Oscar will be in good hands with Iris so we can rest easy while away.”

“Ashley was incredibly thorough during our meet-and-greet call. She asked questions I hadn't even thought to ask myself about my puppy. Her attention to detail made me feel confident that there was no better or more qualified person to care for my little girl. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process -from booking all the way through the daycare day. Ashley and her family were so welcoming to Penny,and she came home happy and exhausted, sleeping for three hours straight! Ashley was also able to accommodate my super-early-drop-off, which I truly appreciated. I would absolutely love to continue working with her, and I know Penny would love that too.”

About: I’ve owned both cat and dog, I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for fetch and other games, I love making sure that pets get the love and attention they deserve! My schedule is fairly flexible, I am available to take care of your pets in the afternoons, and weekends. I am available full-time in the summer months I enjoy taking care of pets in your home, or in my 1/2 acre, fenced-in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play. I like to make sure that dogs are mentally challenged with puzzles and obedience training!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily routine. From playful puppy stages to slower-paced senior dogs, I have experience in it all. Whether it’s feeding and walking or playtime and cuddles, I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also have two cats of my own that I absolutely spoil, so I understand how important it is to give pets plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I start Physician Assistant school in the fall, so for now I have lots of free time and can dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. With the weather getting warmer, I’m especially happy to take dogs out for walks or spend time outdoors so they can get fresh air and exercise. My flexible routine allows me to make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I live in a clean, spacious apartment that provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets. My complex also has great outdoor spaces, including courtyards and a dog park, as well as safe walking areas, which makes it easy for dogs to get fresh air, exercise, and playtime. At home, I have two very loved cats who are used to a quiet, well-maintained environment. They are a big part of my life and help make our home feel warm and welcoming. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions so every pet feels comfortable and safe in the space. Safety and routine are very important to me. I’m able to follow any specific care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medication routines, or crate training if needed. My goal is to create a stress-free, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away.
“Ingrid is my go-to dog sitter. My puppy has been going to Ingrid’s home since she was 3 months old and Fiona couldn’t be happier every time she sees Ingrid and her family members. Ingrid is so responsive, kind, and accommodating. Not once has one of my last minute denied nor am I ever worried about Fiona when she is with Ingrid. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

“Melissa watched our two high energy pups for the day so we could visit with family. They had the best day and she kept us updated with photos and videos all day long. She was so responsible with how she introduced them to the other dogs in her home. I could not recommend her enough!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities and needs! I also have experience caring for felines and chinchillas! I am experienced in administering medications! I currently work from home but am available for short potty breaks in the Lombard area! Also available nights and weekends! I can also do house sitting! I have worked with people who have fenced in back yards and people who do not and utilize leads and am comfortable with either. I like to watch potty breaks, even if the yard is fenced in to making sure nothing is ingested outside!
“Our dogs loved Carly! She seemed to really care about the specifics of our dogs' needs. They have some special needs so we worry about leaving them with other people-but Carly put us at ease. She was on time, asked questions, took the cutest pictures, and sent us a detailed report to say how the visit went. Our pups can't wait to see Carly again!”

About: Hello! I'm Grace, but you can also call me Mairin! For as long as I can remember, I have had animals in my life to care for and love. Cats, dogs, the occasional fish and reptile…I have worked hard to take care of the animals in my life, and sometimes the animals in other people’s lives. I ensure the happiness, well-being, and most importantly, safety and health of all the animals I’ve cared for. I have my own cats and a dog at home, and am their primary caretaker. I clean up after them, make sure their bowls are clean, make sure they’re fed on time and have fresh water, and take the dog out for walks whenever possible. I am also experienced in raising and training puppies, as I was responsible for caring for the puppies from the day they were born until they could be adopted. I trained them by helping them get used to harnesses and leashes, weening them onto wet and dry food, and socializing them with the cats! I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and ensure their happiness and wellbeing! I do have a job alongside pet-sitting, but I will do my best to keep my calendar updated so you know when I am available! I have a relatively flexible schedule. I treat my client’s pets as I do my own. I make sure they’re fed and have a clean dish full of fresh water, and make sure to meet any of their needs properly and efficiently. I take care to follow the pet’s schedule, if any, and make sure they receive proper enrichment and time outside, whether it be playing in the yard or going on walks. I also take care to be diligent and check for any illness and odd behavior. Communication is incredibly important to me, and I will frequently send updates as well as photos to any pet parents!
“I contacted Victoria without much.notice hoping to get somebody to walk my dog 2 times on a day where I was going to be gone for at least 12 hours. She had never met me or my dogs but took on the task. She was.able.to get my dogs out, hung out with them a bit in my yard, and for their second afternoon session she took them for a wooded hike and to a pet store for treats. She went above and beyond and my dogs were very pleased. Great job V.”
“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”

“Zack was very conscientious in meeting Trixie before our set schedule of walks. He was aware of her sniffing for food all the time and made sure to stop that behavior. We were able to be flexible with our schedule and his. I would hire him again”

“Beth was my first Rover walker ever and I was glad to have found her! She was 100% reliable and was always keeping my pup’s best interests in mind! She always made sure to send pics/summaries of the walks which was nice. I would certainly recommend Beth to anyone searching on Rover!”

“Louie is very particular about the company he keeps. He adores Cherri and enjoys going on walks with her. We were very grateful and very relieved that he has a new friend.🙂”


About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have been caring for my own for over 11 years now! Over the years I’ve gained lots of experience with walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I am out of state for college but will be home from December 12th to January 20th. During that time I would love to care for as many pets as I can! While I’m not able to host dogs in my home, I’m happy to care for them in yours to make sure they feel comfortable. I will follow any specific routines or instructions you provide!
“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”

About: I've had pets nearly all of my life and love all types of animals, whether domesticated pets or seeing animals while backpacking in the wilderness. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time to visit your pets during the week. My schedule is flexible for dog walking and/or visits in your home. Pets are members of our families. Just like anyone, they deserve our trust and need to feel safe. Every pet is unique and I believe it's important to get to know each pet's personality.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 6 years old, and I’ve cared for 6 dogs over the years. My first dog was a Golden Retriever named Rambo ❤️ I currently have 2 dogs Buddy and Duke that stay with my mom. I’ve also had experience with senior dogs, including helping dogs with hip problems and adjusting their care as they got older. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and understanding their personalities, whether they want to play, go for walks, or just relax and have some company. My main job is part-time, which gives me flexible availability throughout the week. I’m generally available on weekdays, especially during mornings and afternoons, and can often accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, fresh water, exercise, and a clean environment. Their safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own pets.
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and birds, with some experience pet sitting for friends and family. I am a quick learner with great attentinon to detail, aiming to keep all pets happy and healthy! I am currently on a gap year prior to grad school and have very open availability for the summer months. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. Safety is of the utmost importance. I always ensure that collars and leashes are secure prior to walks, and that doors are closed and locked.
About: My wife, son and I have taken care of pets our entire lives. Currently, we have only one elderly cat with special medical needs. Recently retired, we would love to adopt a dog but our frequent travel (to visit grandchildren) makes that a challenge. That travel helps us understand the stress and anxiety of leaving a pet in the care of others. We enjoy walking and playing with dogs (and cats!) and enjoy being in our yard, which opens to a field in the back, perfect for fetch. We will fill the day with a lot of activity and attention in a safe and secure environment. We are home full time and will have plenty of opportunity for walks, play time and potty breaks. During the school year, but my wife and I are home... and in summer months, our young-adult son will help as well. We have a spacious yard but it is not fenced so we would keep your dog on a long leash while outside. At night, we can easily crate, depending on the pet-parents preferences.
About: Am offering neighborhood help for drop- in and dog walks only. I have been around plenty of dogs/cats and will follow care instructions for your pet. I only accept dogs that are ok being with strangers and are easy to take care of . Pay what you can - let me know and I will adjust rates
“Thank you for taking care of Maddox yesterday Jennifer! I know that she enjoyed having a visitor and getting to go out during a long day. I’m sorry that she barked a little at the beginning! She is so sweet though. I will be sure to let you know if she needs anything more, and she will love working with you. Thank you”

“Justine was extremely generous with her time and provided a safe and loving environment for our senior dog who is 15 years old and blind. I did not want our dog to be in a setting with too many other dogs which would make him nervous and on top of that he takes medications. This was a family style setting and Justine and her family treated my dog like family. That’s the best quality experience you could ask for.”

“We really appreciate Matt and Michelle taking such good care of Lucky for us during our wedding and honeymoon trip. They provided frequent updates and photos, we could tell Lucky became a part of their family and felt comfortable. Would absolutely book again!”


“Amberley did a great job watching my dog, Herbie! She sent plenty of updates throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When Herbie wasn't interested in eating his dog food, she even took the time to make him some chicken to make sure he ate. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I would definitely book with Amberley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

“Lucy stayed with Amanda & Anton while we went on a vacation for a week. Lucy seemed very happy and was well cared for. It was so nice to receive photos and updates. Thank you!”

“I just love Ashley, as do my girls! I felt so at ease knowing how well my girls were being cared for. I have had a couple bad experiences with other sitters, but Ashley has revived my confidence in Rover. We are so happy to have found Ashley 😀”

“I recommend Britanny a million times. From drop off to pickup she was very communicative sending pictures almost every day. She babied him and showed him love. My pup couldn’t have been in better hands. A+++ experience. Thank you Britanny and family.”

“Our little guy had another great stay. Kelly and Tariq are very welcoming and kind. Our dog ran right into their house and made himself at home. Highly recommend this family to care for your fur baby.”
“So happy with Kaya’s stay at Elise’s house. Her dog and Kaya got along so well. Elise provided us updates throughout the stay, which put us at ease. Definitely coming back for more stays! Highly recommend”


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
“Danielle and her family took care of our Cookie (11.5 yrs) and our Stella (8 months) while we visited our daughter out of town. Our dogs were treated well like their own. We really appreciated knowing our dogs were safe and in a caring home with a big fenced in yard.”
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Kimberly was kind and truly cared for our dogs. In every photo she sent, our pups looked relaxed and happy. It was our first time leaving them with someone else, so we were quite worried — but all our concerns disappeared after just one day. We’re definitely planning to leave our dogs with Kimberly again. Highly recommended!”

“Jean and Al did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs while we were out of town. They both have very different needs and Jean and Al managed them both perfectly. The dogs were happy and well taken care of, and Jean was very communicative the whole time.”

“As soon as we had our meet and greet with Annika we knew our dogs would be in good hands. She and Grant provided a warm and welcoming home for our girls while we were out of town for nine days. They took them on walks in the park and played with our ball obsessed Sheltie. Thunder scares our dogs and Annika and Grant snuggled them through the storms. They sent pictures all the time and I was sure Sunny and Dolly were never going to want to come home! I can't make enough positive comments about the kindness and attention our girls were given by Annika and Grant.”

“This is our 3rd time working with Beth! Her and her family are so awesome with our dog!!! She is always sending pictures and her kids are always giving our guy love! We will continue to use Beth NO DOUBT when we need somewhere for Canon to go!”

“Robert looked after my dog Loki really well. He sent daily updates with photos and videos to keep us informed. Loki had fun during his stay. I’ll definitely be using his services for future needs.”
