“Hannah was amazing with our 9‑month‑old puppy, Romeo! She took such good care of him, made sure he was fed on time, and went out of her way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were gone. She kept sending us the cutest pics and videos, which really helped us relax on our trip. Romeo clearly had the best time with her, and we’ll definitely be booking her again every time we need boarding for Romeo. Highly recommend her to any friends looking for a super sweet and reliable pet sitter!”
“Nicole is so caring and communicative. I needed to find coverage for my pet while I was going on vacation. Nicole was very accommodating and kind to my dog Fia. She sent pictures and updates frequently, and Fia had a blast at her place.”
“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”
“Our pooch Menchie had a fine time at Denis and Nikki’s home. He got to play as much his heart desired and then could cozy up on a couch. He missed us, but not as much as I thought he would. That’s a tribute to the care he received at Denis and Nikki’s home.”
“Naomi was great!! She was very prepared and ready to learn about and to care for our dogs just the way they needed. Our dogs had the best time taking long walks, lounging, and looking out the big window. She took the time to introduce our dogs and Milo and they became great friends. The house was quiet, very clean, and perfect for our dogs. We loved seeing the daily photos while we were traveling. Definitely would recommend!”
“Evie had such a good time at Rachel’s. She loved playing in her big back yard and looking out her bay window so much that she didn’t want to leave! We really appreciated how many pictures and videos Rachel sent while we were away and would absolutely book again.”
“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”
“Soojin is an amazing doggy sitter! My pup Toby loved her so much, the next time I brought him to stay with her he was practically jumping out of the car window to jump in her arms. She truly loves dogs and caring for them and will treat your pup as if it's her own. 10/10! Will absolutely bring Toby back to stay with her when I need a sitter.”
“We are very happy with the service provided by Yailyn. Hank stayed with her for 8 days and came home a very happy dog. She kept us updated throughout the trip, and sent us photos of Hank having a great time. We will definitely is Yailyn again. Thank you, Yailyn!”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
About: I have cared for both small and large animals for over 21 years. Your pet will be staying with a very loving, responsible, and respectful family I work from home so someone is home all day every day. I also have a fenced yard for your dog to roam and go out as needed. I provide meals according to owner's instructions and clean up as needed. Also actively partake in play and exercise for the pets which I genuinely enjoy doing.
“Rizwan, Noorjahan and their family were such great sitters for our dog and cat! They are such a sweet family and we received many pictures every day. I was reassured that both my pets were having a great time with them! Will definitely reach out again for our next sitting.”
“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”
“Amy is wonderful. We requested extra photos since it was a longer stay and she really went above and beyond. Bambi was clearly relaxed throughout her entire stay and not at all stressed when we picked her up.”
“We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa was very responsive, forth right and welcoming to my puppy. She put my mind at ease last night when I dropped her off for an overnight stay. She’s a sweet young lady and happy to recommend her. Lots a parks around and green even through in an apartment. Excellent place.”

“Chris is fantastic! Our shy kitty, Ralph, really warmed up to her and we so appreciated her status checks and photos! We felt so safe leaving our two cats in her hands while we were out of town. Chris took notes during our meet and greet and was super thorough. 10/10!”
“Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!”
“Amy did a great job keeping our cat happy while we were away. I appreciated her photos and updates. She was very flexible with our dates when we needed to make a last minute change. Thank you!”

I ensure he gets at least two walks a day, play time at least 3 times a day, and all the snuggles he wants! I've became very skilled at potty training as we went through it living in a high rise. I have a flexible schedule and live/work in Highwood/Highland Park. I have evenings off and do not mind early mornings or weekend appointments! Please let me know how I can help you and your dog! I am an early riser and come by to hang out with my dog for lunch every day. I also have evenings off to enjoy with them whether it’s a long walk or playtime in the house! Tito roams free in the house but I always make sure my pup and the clients get along well before booking.

I'm a college student home for the summer, with access to a bike-and sometimes a car-so I can get anywhere at any time. It's important to me that pets receive quality care, so no matter what, they'll always be my priority. I don't board, but in clients' homes I make sure to follow guidelines given to me! I love to walk dogs, and will take them for a stroll as many times as needed, but I'm also happy to stay in-home and play with a pet there. Whatever makes them the happiest!
“Tara did an amazing job with drop in visits to our two cats when we were away! The cats seemed to be very happy and well taken care of! I will definitely ask Tara again to look after them when I am traveling!”
“As always, great experience with Beth. She is prompt to respond and takes the time to play with Rupert (not always easy! Lol!) which we greatly appreciate. Leaving your pets with someone can be so nerve-wracking. I'm so happy to have found Beth as she truly sets my mind at ease!!”

I felt so much peace of mind knowing that he was taking care of them. I will absolutely book him any time I need help with my pets. I can’t recommend him enough!!! Thank you Steve!”
“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.”
About: Hey, call me Franky but I’ve been taking care of dogs to 10+ years. I had a dog of my own until we had to put it down. Definitely the best 15 years of his life.

In my home they will always be free and not locked to one area. Clients pets have all the rights and freedom.

About: My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms! Jana and I both work from home, ensuring that there's always someone around during the day to provide company and care for your pet.

Our dog Lula is e-collar trained, and is playful with other dogs & humans
About: I am Isabella C. I am currently a freshman in college and I love learning about new experiences and meeting new animals. Last year as my senior year of high school I would take care of dogs within 20 miles, I would take them on walks depending how big or small the dog was I would tire them out. Sometimes I would dog sit and I would take the dogs out, give them medication and feed them. I am very responsible by taking care of them. I love dogs and I really enjoy their company and just learning more about them because they help us. I hope to meet pets with great personalities and continue to help these pets by taking them on walks or playing with them.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.
“Chris is great! My dog definitely developed some separation anxiety related to our move and Chris took extra time to stay back after his walk so he could get to know her and have a little bit more comforting and reassurance. Her flexibility with scheduling has also been really amazing throughout the whole process. Will definitely request her dog-walking services again!”
About: Dog mom to a small terrier mix and a large shepherd mix. Growing up, my mom worked in an animal shelter. I spent summers volunteering with dog walking and fostering.

I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. Both of my dogs are playful and are comfortable with other dogs of all sizes.

About: Hello, pet parents! Your pup is in for a treat! I enjoy going on adventures! We check out state parks, forest preserves and beaches during our time together. I take lots and lots of photos to help capture the magic and share the fun with you. Of course for pets with more of a relaxed temperament, cuddles, belly rubs and more low key quality time is also greatly enjoyed. I look forward to spending time with your pup! With my part time flexible work schedule, I have plenty of time to prioritize your dog no matter what day of the week. I don't have any kids or pets of my own, so your dog will recieve my undivided attention. I'm very detail oriented and tidy. What ever your dogs routine is, I'll adapt accordingly and clean up after him or her as well as myself.
“Erin is the first person I’ve used with River & I couldn’t be happier! Erin has been great taking my dog, Bruce, for walks. She’s on time & very communicative, I love seeing the pictures after she’s done. I’m a big fan, but I think my dog might be a bigger one! Highly recommend!”
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Amy and Lamar to care for our dog, Ralph, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They consistently went above and beyond—giving him extra-long walks and even taking care of his feeding schedule twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out was Lamar’s work on training during his time with Ralph. His calm, confident approach made an immediate impact, and we are amazed at how responsive Ralph is to his guidance. It’s clear that both Amy and Lamar have a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of how to connect with them. We are incredibly grateful for their reliability, professionalism, and the affection they showed Ralph. We highly recommend Amy and Lamar to anyone looking for dedicated and trustworthy dog walkers, and we absolutely plan to use their services again in the future!”

About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

Highly recommend her to any friends looking for a super sweet and reliable pet sitter!”

“Our pooch Menchie had a fine time at Denis and Nikki’s home. He got to play as much his heart desired and then could cozy up on a couch. He missed us, but not as much as I thought he would. That’s a tribute to the care he received at Denis and Nikki’s home.”
“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”
“We are very happy with the service provided by Yailyn. Hank stayed with her for 8 days and came home a very happy dog. She kept us updated throughout the trip, and sent us photos of Hank having a great time. We will definitely is Yailyn again. Thank you, Yailyn!”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
About: I have cared for both small and large animals for over 21 years. Your pet will be staying with a very loving, responsible, and respectful family I work from home so someone is home all day every day. I also have a fenced yard for your dog to roam and go out as needed. I provide meals according to owner's instructions and clean up as needed. Also actively partake in play and exercise for the pets which I genuinely enjoy doing.
“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”
“Amy is wonderful. We requested extra photos since it was a longer stay and she really went above and beyond. Bambi was clearly relaxed throughout her entire stay and not at all stressed when we picked her up.”
“Buddy was sorry to leave all his new friends but happy to see Mom & Dad. Marta did an excellent job and would certainly recommend her. Thanks Santa and Mrs.Claus 🎅🤶”
“Outstanding!! we love that we got multiple pictures and videos every single day. They took care of our pup like she was one of their own. Their dog has a great temperament and I’m sure our dog will miss playtime and naps with him! I will absolutely book again!”
“Leigh and Richard gave absolute impeccable care to my special needs dog for 8 days! I have never been away from Annie (my dog) for that long and I was very concerned. After having 2 meet and greets with them, I realized that Annie was going to be in great hands. They followed all of the guidelines of feeding her 3 specialized meals a day, administrating her daily medicine and taking her on extra walks every day. She even got her daily belly rubs and lap time. They stayed in touch with me daily with phone calls, texts and photos. I don't think my surgical recovery would have gone as well as it did, if I was worried about Annie. I can't give enough praise to this wonderful dog care couple! I will never use anyone again except them!”
“Thea is the best dog sitter I have ever encountered. She is loving, caring, patient, flexible and with lots of experiences with dogs. She provided us plenty of updates, photos, and suggestions to improve my handling with dog. She is truly appreciated and we will definitely book her again.”
“Marija was amazing! She sent a lot of pictures and updates during Rookie’s entire stay. It was so nice knowing she was safe and getting a lot of love while we were gone!”
“From the first moment our dog Gali stepped into Mark and Lorie’s house she seemed very comfortable. Gali stayed at their house for two weeks and Lorie made sure to send me updates and pictures. Gali looked happy which put me at ease. After picking up Gali we found her in good health and cheerful as usual. She seemed to have a great time. Thanks for everything!”
