“I had a rescue adult dog, I did not know how it was going to go since I had never left her completely alone since I got her 3 years ago. Stella made me feel comfortable with the whole process. I cannot say enough on how pleased I am, from the updates while I was gone, to how well and smoothly everything went. It looks like my dog made some friends during her 9 day visit as she is much more vocal now, letting me know she's the boss!!!! Thank you Stella”
“Finn had the besttttt time!! Kim took amazing care of our boy and kept us sooooo updated! I could just tell he had the most amazing time on their walks!! Thank youu so much again!!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“I just picked my dog up at Norma’s and I couldn’t be any happier!! Norma sent me several pictures and videos during the week and I could tell my dog was so happy and well cared for. I was relaxed during my week away knowing my dog was in good hands! Thank you again! ????”
“Angela was great with our puppy, Boots! Our puppy is a 15 lb. Chihuahua mix. Naturally, I had some apprehension about her hanging out with Angela’s bigger and older dogs but it worked out perfectly and Boots had a fun weekend with her new friends. Angela was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. I’d recommend Angela for all your pet boarding needs!”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“Jacob was great! He took good care of Muffin, was always responsive and available, and was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times. Thank you for watching Muffin while we were on vacation!”
“Debbie and Tom took such great care of our dog Fiona! We received updates and photos, and we felt so comfortable knowing she was safe and loved. Thank you, Debbie and Tom!”
“Elaina and Joseph V. were absolutely amazing with my dog during his stay from July 1 through July 5. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they genuinely cared for him and treated him like part of their own family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail throughout the entire boarding experience. I would absolutely trust them to watch my dog again and highly recommend Elaina and Joseph V. to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitters.”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Kelsey was absolutely amazing! I was in a tough spot — I was getting married and the friend who was supposed to watch my dog, Inc, canceled last minute. I had no one lined up and was pretty stressed. I did a meet-and-greet with Kelsey and her husband, and right away I felt completely comfortable. They were both so kind and welcoming, and their home was perfect for Inc. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelsey went above and beyond, and I had total peace of mind on such an important day. If I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Melody was an absolute blessing and we could not have happier! She took us as a last minute booking, as our normal sitter was unable to take our dog. Sadie has never stayed with someone she didn’t know before and Melody made her and us feel very comfortable. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We could not have asked for anything more! Thank you again Melody for taking care of our anxious girl and treating her like your own!”

“Declan is an extremely friendly and reliable sitter! He's great with our new kittens and has been very gracious working with us on short notice with our relatively erratic schedule. Would recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Anays and Francis were great! We had a last minute matter come up and were in need of drop in visits for the week for our cat Murphy, who can be a handful. They were able to meet me the day I requested them and asked a lot of questions to make sure that he was well taken care of. Although I offered that they steer clear of Murphy since he can be aggressive when he knows he’s about to be fed, they still took the time to get to know him and give him treats to warm up to them. We knew that he was in good hands as there was always a detailed message of how the visit went at multiple pictures of him.”

About: I have had cats since I was 7 years old. I grew up on a farm with TONS of cats. I have experience giving shots and medication to cats young and old. I am patient and understand that not all cats love to cuddle. I am happy with a kitty on my lap, but happy with just talking kindly to them as well. I have been cleaning litter boxes for over 15 years, so nothing scares me!
“Chris did a fantastic job caring for my two cats. He was reliable, thorough, and sent detailed updates with plenty of photos at every visit. He clearly spent real time playing with them and getting to know their personalities, and he even helped with a few things around the house without being asked. I came home to happy cats and everything in great shape. I’d absolutely book Chris again.”

I felt like I had an entire team to meet their needs with Debbie as captain. I appreciated the photos and texts to know our family pets were In good hands.

About: Hello I currently own 2 dogs and 3 cats. My friends, family, and neighbors rely on me when going on trips to help out with their fur babies. Doing their feeding, taking them for walks, playing with them, giving them medication if needed or just keeping them company. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. To do drop in visits, or walks it’s also helpful that I’m home all day to keep an eye on your babies and play with them on my breaks. I have a fenced yard big enough for your pet to run around, or play with my dogs that enjoy company. Either your pet likes to play outside with toys or receive lots of cuddles, or walks. I do require a meet and greet before setting anything up to see if everyone gets along.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I am usually the one friends and family reach out to watch their dogs when they are gone. I work from home full time, which gives me time and flexibility to spend time playing or walking your pet. I am able to fit right into their schedule I have a small backyard that is good enough for your dog's bathroom needs and live in a neighborhood great for walks. I also have stairs in my home but I am more than happy to help or carry them.
About: I truly take care of pets, being responsible and careful. I have had pets with disabilities, very old, and I have given them medicine orally, and topically and changed the bandages, as well as fed with my palm for very old and blind ones. I currently work part time and mostly available to take care of pets. My schedule is flexible for boarding on and off, as well as weekends I live in a single house with fenced backyard. I am available for taking care of your loved ones and have a nice place in my house for them❤️. It is clean and cozy.
About: I have taken care of many different breeds of dogs as well as cats since I was 15, neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk, feed, wash, cut nails, light hair trim, teeth brushing etc. Free Monday through Sunday so I have plenty of time to play with your pops! I'm available for boarding, day visits and overnight stays anytime! I have a double separated fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company! I can also create your dogs if needed,

“Accepted last minute with two dogs she didn’t get to meet beforehand (one being only 8 months with a lot of energy). She did an awesome job. Great communication. Prompt updates and adjusting with requests on the fly. Will be using again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was about 5 years old. And that was when I received my first pet, a chihuahua mix. I’ve cared for her since she was a puppy and she just recently passed away due to old age. I have the patience to deal with puppies and elder dogs! I love them all! I’m currently working part time at a restaurant so I have some down time! I’m available mostly in the afternoons from 2pm - 8pm. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection.
“Malachi was great with my pup (that is the important thing) and very eager to provide me with great service. I would recommend him to anyone. We had a few technical glitches, and there are a few thoughts I think I will share with him privately, but those don’t lower his star rating because he really did provide great service. He was very communicative, respected my property, and took great care of of my dog. You should book him and see for yourself.”
“Highly recommended A+++ Linnea was great with our little pup, on schedule and very kind to our family. Very down to earth warm hearted person that I would recommend to anyone! Thank you!!!”
“Excellent communication and lighting fast response times when using the app. Most importantly, Ava took great care of our Nala and was very respectful of our home. Will definitely rebook with Ava for the summer.”
About: I've been caring for pets for most of my life and truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals, and I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's individual needs and routine. I'm experienced in administering medications, preparing special diets, and providing attentive care for pets with specific health or dietary needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet's time with me as happy and stress-free as possible. I work full-time at a public library, but I love spending my free time caring for pets! 🐾 Before and after work, your pet will have my full attention, with plenty of love, playtime, walks, or cuddles—whatever makes them happiest. During the week, I'm an especially great match for cats and for independent dogs who are comfortable relaxing at home while I'm at work or who have safe, secure access to a yard or indoor potty area. On my weekends off, I have much more flexibility and can devote even more time to your pet. I work at a local public library full time. I am able to check on pets in the AM and PM. On the weekends I have more time throughout the full day. One of my core values is to leave a place better than I found it, if possible. So I clean, keep things organized, and make sure to keep the client’s home nice while I am there.
“Kayla was a warm, very reliable and punctual dog walker. She quickly became besties with our dog who can be a real stinker about who she likes and trusts. She was a pleasure to work with and we would no hesitation working with Kayla again.”
“Gyula walks my two Labs regularly, and I highly recommend him for your dog's needs. He has years of experience working with all types of dogs and has the skills to manage them competently and with a great attitude. Gyula is prompt, attentive to the dogs at all times, and naturally works with them as he's walking them, which has improved both of my dogs leash manners. If you need someone to take care of your dog, I'm confident you and your dog will be happy with the services Gyula provides.”

I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family.

My husband is home full time and I work from home so we have ample amounts of time to care for your pet. My 2 sons LOVE dogs and love to play and take dogs on walks. Our yard is unfenced, per our HOA rules so your pet will always be on a leash for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. Pets are free to explore the entire home and will not be crated or gated, unless a crate is provided and requested.
“Byron and Martha were great with my dogs , they kept me updated and provided me with pictures throughout the day. I really appreciate the wonderful care that they give , I would recommend as many people to book asap !!!”
“Finley seemed to enjoy staying with Kathryn and her family. He especially liked the company of her dogs, Harvey and Pepito! Kathryn even gave Finley a good brushing. We will definitely use Kathryn again another time we need a sitter. Thanks Rover!”
“Tommy and Julie are absolutely amazing! Came to them at very last minute with our 3 pups while visiting Chicago for my son’s Navy graduation and they were so kind and welcoming. They constantly gave updates and sent photos and kept us informed of how our girls were doing. We will definitely be recommending them to other Navy families and using them again in the future. Thanks Tommy and Julie! ♥️”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.
About: In addition to my own dogs, I have also owned cats of my own in the past, giving me years of firsthand experience with feline care. This personal background fits perfectly with the routine care I provide for my sister’s animals whenever she goes on vacation four times a year. I take complete charge of her four dogs—three Miniature Pomeranians and a Goldendoodle—and have even cared for their puppies in my home on two separate occasions while she was out of town. My responsibilities for her also include looking after her cats, ensuring they are properly fed, and keeping their litter boxes clean. This extensive, hands-on experience with multi-pet households, puppies, and feline care has made me highly adept at maintaining safety, routines, and a nurturing environment for animals of all ages and types. I'm pretty open as I'm a special education teacher and off in the summer. I have free time and I'm flexible. I would love to make extra money doing what I love. I care for them as I would my own children. We are all in the same area as a family. Pets are free to roam the house and I have a fenced in yard.
“Anna was fantastic with our labradoodle Ollie! She is attentive and kind. Ollie seemed so relaxed and happy to spend the weekend. We will book her again very soon!”
