“Thao and family was so great with our dog Addie! This was our first time using her and knew Addie was in great hands! She sent pics and video while we were away and Addie always looked very at home.”
“We had a great experience with Meghan! Freddy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands and would happily book again.”
“1st time leaving my dog with complete strangers but when I tell you, it was the best decision we made. When I walked into their home to dropped my dog off, there was such a calmness I felt, all nervousness disappeared immediately. My dog was loved and well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures from the family. I will 100% have them sit my dog again.”
“Naomi and Johann helped to board Coco twice in a row. After 6 days Coco was excited to see me for a min when I picked her up but back to her old self right after and that’s exactly what you’d want - just like she only just took a walk with friends in the park. I’d be happy to bring her back next time!”
“Ella took on our 3 month old puppy who at the time was a handful. She kept us updated always and was very confident with him. She dealt with all the puppy challenges with no problem. Our pup Ozzie loved his stay with her. She frequently took him for walks and ensured he was happy and loved. Ella was excellent, and would trust her again!”
“Our dogs love to stay with Kazuhiro and Akemi! They are so well cared for and we get regular updates. We have peace of mind that our dogs are safe and being loved!!”
“Billy had a great two weeks with Kristina. This was Billy's first time boarding in his 9 years. He was adopted by my dad from a puppy mill rescue organization when he was 5 and then came to live with me 7 months ago when my dad died. Kristina is great with him and very patient and understanding with me. I received pictures daily which brought great comfort! Billy will definitely be visiting Kristina again.”
“Thank you for providing Hans with a fun and attentive experience while we were out of town!!! Hans had so much fun playing with his fellow dog friends in your fenced backyard! He sure is sleepy. That says a lot for a puppy.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Kimberly’s care for our dog, A.J.! She watched him for three weeks and did a fantastic job. Kimberly kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. A.J. was clearly very happy and comfortable with her, and it’s obvious she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. She was also wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process so much easier. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Hannah was incredible! She has such a way with dogs. You can tell from the moment you meet her, that she is just the most warm and caring person, and that extends to all the furry friends, too. She was flexible, asked all the pertinent questions, sent daily updates, and I loved all the pictures she sent. I would absolutely trust her to take care of my dog again. Highly highly recommend!”
“Mocha had an awesome stay at Jiayi’s. She is well taken care of and had lots of fun hanging out with her other furry friends. Jiayi is very accommodating and she even replaced Mocha’s broken leash and took time to look for a similar one. Great sitter!”
“Janette and Charlie were so thoughtful and caring in their communication regarding my dog. I appreciated their daily updates, pictures and even a video! We'll definitely use Janette and Charlie again!”
“I’d like to share my experience with Christina, who recently cared for my dog, Moxy. Right before the boarding, Moxy had an injury, and I was a bit nervous about leaving her. But Christina was incredibly understanding and attentive from the start. She went above and beyond to make sure Moxy was comfortable and well taken care of. Christina kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which really helped ease my mind. She made sure Moxy was fed properly and gave her the extra attention she needed during recovery. Despite the circumstances, Moxy was happy and relaxed with Christina — I could tell she felt safe and cared for. I’m truly grateful for the compassionate and professional service Christina provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”
“This was my first long trip away since getting Clifton and I was so lucky to find Jeff and Ron. They gave great updates and took great care of Clifton. I picked him up and he was happy and calm! Will not hesitate to send Clifton back for a stay.”
“Carly was so great with Rayna! Constantly sending updates and pictures. I felt at ease being on the other side of the world and having my dog looked after by Carly :)”

“I've been using Ella for pet sitting and dog walking for over a year now and she's been a pleasure to work with. She's reliable, always responsive and is wonderful with both my cat & my dog. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent caretaker for their pets.”
“Katie is awesome! It was my first time leaving my cat alone for the weekend, so I was very nervous but Katie was super attentive, took great care of him and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Jiyai is amazing !! So thoughtful and lovely with my cats. I have always been hesitant to leave my furbabies with anyone but Jiyai is so kind and warm. My cats loved spending time with her and I would highly suggest utilizing Jiyai’s care for your furbabies. Jiyai was always on time, sent me pictures, and updated me twice a day while I was on my trip. Thank you Jiyai for the love and support you extended.”
“Michelle was amazing. When we first introduced her, she asked important questions and made us feel comfortable with her presence. When we returned, the animals didn't seem to notice we were gone. She stepped-in and kept their routines and gave lots of belly rubs. Strongly recommend her for any and all of your furry family needs.”
“This is the 3rd time I have had Denis and Nikki watch our pets and if they are available, we would never consider anybody else. They take great care in what they do and it shows. They not only take excellent care of our animals but they make sure the house is ok also, taking out and back garbage, bringing in packages on the doorstep and mail, etc. They are excellent and our family would highly recommend. Andrew S.”
“We sincerely appreciate Amy taking us on as a new client. Amy did a great job taking care of our hoard of cats and was very communicative throughout the process and the cats seemed to enjoy her visits. Loved all the update pictures she provided while we were away. Will definitely use Amy for any future needs.”
“Beyond grateful that I connected with Lauren and Lauren, and they could help with our cat while our entire family traveled together. Communication is always quick, clear, and helpful. They flagged every visit, and kept me updated with all the details from each house visit for our cat. Will absolutely keep them at the top of the list for any future needs!”
“Andrew stayed in our home for a week He took good care of the litter boxes snd was respectful of the space. His very laid back, “chill” demeanor was perfect for our 2 cats. Andrew was very also observant and in tune with their needs and moods. He contacted me on a regular basis and sent me photos of his little charges. We intend to use his services again and highly recommended him to anyone in need of a cat sitter.”
“Jason stayed at our home with our cat for a week - it was great to know our kitty was so cared for, and that our house was watched over as well. Jason kept in touch all week, and we absolutely loved the pictures he sent each day! We’ll definitely have Jason back next time we travel!”
About: Growing up I have always had 3 cats at home and have pet sitted for a little over 5 years! My clients have had a mix of dogs and cats so I have experience with both! I can do drop-in visits in the mornings and evenings to feed them, walk them, etc. But the time frame can vary depending on the pets needs and my work schedule I feed them, play with them, walk them, and change the litter boxes (cats). If any more care is required you can text me if needed!
“Isabella has been wonderful and adapted to my flight changes during the government shutdown. She took get care of my fur baby and will definitely be using her in the future!!!”
About: Hello there, My name is Alisa and I am currently based in the Chicago area, where I’ve been delighted to discover just how many people here deeply care about their animals. I love cats and have been surrounded by them since my earliest years. (I’m not kidding, my first-ever baby picture has a cat in it.) I’ve had experience caring for very young and active cats, and also for very old cats in the final stages of their lives. I connect very well with animals and am proud to say that every cat I’ve ever met has either liked me or, at the very least, tolerated me admirably well. I can give your cats cuddles, or I can give them space. I will brush them, play with them, and engage them whenever it feels like they’re bored or being withdrawn from missing you. I will send you so many pictures and updates of your cat babies, there’s a chance you will ask me to dial down, but I won’t make promises I cannot keep. If you need someone to take care of your pets while you’re away, don’t hesitate to get in touch — I would love to meet you and your precious kitties!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life, recently worked with animals as big as horses and cows, to chickens and ducks. Friends and family trust me with their animals! My schedule is currently free, weekdays and weekends and nights! I am willing to work holidays. I will also walk in any type of weather! I have a fenced in backyard, with 2 very friend dogs for yours to play with! I do have crates (if needed) and lots of treats!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Glencoe
“Julie has been an accommodating and loving caregiver to our Bella. Bella really seems to enjoy her time at Julie's place. She will be our first-choice sitter whenever we need a caregiver for Bella. Thank you Julie!”
“We’re so glad we found Nicole when we needed last-minute care for our pup — she was fantastic. Our dog warmed up to her instantly, had a great day, and the happy updates she sent throughout kept us from worrying. We’d definitely book her again!”
“Kazuhiro and Akemi were kind and loving to my dog. They sent pictures throughout the day. I appreciate their flexibility on the drop off time. I would use them again.”

About: I have had cats, dogs, and fish for the past 15 years. I have boarded, walked, and sat many animals including the ones listed above. I have also done feedings and administering medications. I always like to get detailed notes and a walk through of the care you need so the pets are well taken care of throughout my time with them. **Drop offs after 8am and Pick ups before 8pm. Extra fees may apply if this time does not work for you** I am currently open to any times and days. I am in school and am doing it completely online and asynchronous. I can work with you separately to figure out the best schedule. I am always wanting a walk through and detailed sheet of paper describing schedules and everything I need to know. I will also send frequent updates including pictures. I have administered medications before and ask to be shown how to administer so they don’t miss a day.
“Naomi & Johann took wonderful care of Javy. I made a last minute, same day request and they came thru. I knew immediately upon dropping Javy off that he would be in good hands. They introduced Javy to their dog, Milo, expertly and they were both affectionate with Javy right away. She sent photos and a video and I could tell Javy was very comfortable & happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Carly really helped me out for a last minute dog sitting. She made Arthur feel at home with toys, and sent multiple videos and pictures throughout the day which I appreciated so much!”
“This is the first time we’ve had someone (who is not our family) watch our dog. I was very nervous especially be in Poppy is young - she’s just a year old. Noor watched Poppy for a day. Noor was so patient with her - poppy was initially apprehensive to go in their house, but Noor took her time to ensure Poppy was comfortable. Noor asked questions about feeding, walks, general behavior & preferences. this put me at ease knowing she was thinking these. We did this trial daycare in preparation for a longer stay for Poppy later this year. Noor was also very communicative with texts and also a video! We were happy with the care poppy received and plan to book with Noor again!”
“Very welcoming and very knowledgeable about elder dogs! Great energy which is so crucial when you leave your dog in a brand new place. Uma will be visiting many more times!”
“If you need a reliable, flexible, and kind pet sitter, look no further than Rebeca. She took my pups on short notice and didn't blink an eye when I realized I had accidentally booked a 2-hour visit instead of 14 hours. She was happy to keep them the whole day, communicated proactively with fun updates and photos, and gave them access to a massive fenced-in yard that they absolutely loved. She made a stressful booking mistake completely stress-free. Thank you, Rebeca!”
“Ella is absolutely amazing! She took the best care of Walter and he felt right at home. I’m very appreciative of all that she’s done! I wholeheartedly recommend having her watch your fur babies.”
“Kristina is so communicative and sweet. We had never left our French Bulldog Ziggy with anyone minus family so we were very nervous. She sent pictures and provided an update when we picked Ziggy up. I feel comfortable leaving Ziggy with Kristina and you should feel comfortable leaving your dog with Kristina too!”
“Cynthia was welcoming, communicative, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. It was great to see the dogs playing together and enjoying her house and yard, so we'd absolutely have her dog sit for us again!”
“I really like Andrew’s set up, spacious house with a fensed in yard, all accessible to the dogs. I enjoyed meeting him and his lovely family, and felt very comfortable leaving my puppy there. He came back happy and tired!”

About: Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted dogs to be a big part of my life. I begged my parents for one, but instead they had me start dog sitting to prove I was responsible enough. After many dog sleepovers, we finally welcomed Kirby into our family for my 12th birthday! Caring for Kirby taught me that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. When I'm caring for your pet, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need, and I'll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm working part time 2-3 nights per week, and have some weekend obligations. Other than that, pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I am committed to provide reliable care! I'll be paying close attention of surroundings to keep your dog safe! To assure peace of mind, I'll make it an intention to send updates after each adventure! And of course I will respect any route preferences :) When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention--my goal is to follow all care instructions as closely as possible. I also treat every client's home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
“Stephen is great with our silly, high energy dog Roxy (doberman). We always feel comfortable she is in good hands under their care and she is always happy (based on the fun photo update we get). I would highly recommend their services”
“Jenny was amazing with Shortcake. She took my chunk out on walks for me twice a day while I was away on a business trip. I love the photo updates and could tell that shortcake was really enjoying her time. I came hope to a very happy and well adjusted dog. I highly recommend Jenny!”
“Diana was prompt, responsive and reliable! She was great to work with and I felt so much relief leaving my pets in good hands while I was away. Thank you Diana! Will absolutely rebook soon”

“Anna is amazing! She has been walking our pup every day for the past few months. Anna not only walks Charlie but actually spends time playing with him and training him - she even taught him the paw command! Anna sends very detailed reports and lots of cute pictures after every walk. Being first time puppy owners we feel so lucky to have Anna looking after our pup!”
About: I have many years of experience with dog-sitting from energetic puppies to 60 pound golden doodles. I have experience with walking/ caring for more difficult dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I love all animals! I’m home for the Summer from college so I have a lot of flexibility. The only times I’m unavailable are July 11-18 and August 10-14. I will keep your home clean and tidy and respect your space like it’s my own. I’m a small person so I can accommodate any living space.
“Aleksandra was amazing! She stepped in at the last minute this week as a substitute walker and my dog warmed up to her so quickly. We can’t wait to work with her again in the future!!”
About: I’m a Northbrook mom of three with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, and more. I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your animals, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m the person who shows up on time, follows your instructions, and treats your pets like part of my own family. I pay attention to the little things; routines, quirks, favorite toys - so your pet feels safe and understood while you’re away. My goal is simple: you come home to a happy, relaxed pet and feel completely confident booking me again. I’m home consistently throughout the day, which means I can offer dependable check‑ins, walks, and drop‑ins without rushing or squeezing your pet into a packed schedule. I build my day around predictable routines, so your pet gets care that’s calm, consistent, and on time. In your home, I treat your space with the same respect I give my own. I lock up carefully and keep things tidy. My goal is simple: you should feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.
About: Hi, first a little bit of what I do: I am a digital media consultant and producer, working from home with a flexible schedule. Now for the animal lover in me: I grew up with animals and am comfortable with pets so if you have a cat and a dog, I am more than happy to be there for both of them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs, playing with cats so they aclimate to people as they prepare for adoption. Personally, I’ve had three cats and a dog since I was a kid. I know pets need love and care and when you are not able to, I can be a substitute to watch out for them and keep them feel safe and happy!

I spoke to Nikki who patiently answered all my questions and accommodated my dogs. They responded to messages quickly. I also received daily pictures.

Denis and Nikki are great - So glad I found them and will definitely book with them again. Thank you!”
