“We had a great experience leaving our Pointer/Lab with Christine over the holidays. They were super nice, thoughtful and flexible throughout the stay. I would recommend Christine any day and look forward to their services again.”
“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”

“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”

Mr and Mrs. Ganesh took care of Mochi nicely and being patient even she had accident then tied for more often potty breaks for solution. They shared Some videos and pictures .”
“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.”

And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”
About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.
About: I have watched dogs for friends and family since I was 12. I have cared for all sizes of dogs and own two dogs myself, one of which is a senior so I am familiar with special needs and instructions. I have been trusted to drop in, feed, let out, and walk dogs and have been trusted to stay overnight with them. I am familiar with special feeding instructions or any quirks that come with every individual dog :) While I am on summer break from school, this is the only job I have so I am frequently available to drop by. I am usually free any day of the week from mid morning until late at night. As long as I am aware ahead of time I will most likely make it fit into my schedule! I will not be offering to care for pets in my own home because one of my dogs has some trust issues with other animals.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I grew up with multiple dogs and two cats for the majority of time. Robbie is our 1 year old Golden Retriever and he loves all dogs. Your dogs will love having a buddy and we will tire them out for you! It’s a puppy play date I work from home so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets! I have no other animals at this time- devoting all my attention to those I watch! I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I work from home and offer many walks and hours of play time for your pets!
“Christine was amazing and took such great care of my cats! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. She sent pictures daily and I never had to worry. I knew they were in good hands. I am forever thankful!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs since I was little and have loved every second. I was always helping out my family’s and neighbor’s pets - and now I finally got my own puppy in August of 2025. Trained him all on my own and he is the sweetest boy! I work at a kindergarten with special education during the school year. Once June hits, I will be officially out for summer break and plan on focusing all my attention on Rover. I will have all the time on my hands to drop in and take care of your pets! My 10 month old dachshund is very well taken care of. He is my pride and joy - always getting all the cuddles and exercise he needs. I believe that all pets require the same love and attention that humans do and I treat them with that idea in mind.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! My family who is located in the suburbs has 3 animals; a Maine coon, a yorki-poo, and a chocolate lab. Now I have my own dog, Graham, who is a loving, playful, and smart morkie. I’m a part time student with classes that vary throughout the day. I will only commit to jobs that I can give my 100% attention to! I have a designated doggy area at my apartment, as well as room to have your animal crated within my apartment if requested. Along with that, they are welcome anywhere within our space.
About: I am a retired high school educator, artist, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover. I am a five-star walker and a very reliable and compassionate caregiver for your pet. I often feel we are kindred spirits and I am totally intrigued by their individual personalities. I have cared for dogs both personally or professionally for most of my life and willingly care for your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be exploring adventure, padding the neighborhood (walking or running), gifting belly rubs, or providing hydration & nutrition, your pet’s needs will be personalized while in my care with much love and affection. In the future, I hope to rehabilitate dogs and work with their family members to provide a safe space filled with discipline, affection, and a true sense of belonging. You can depend on me and trust that your pet will feel cherished and loved while in my care. Since retiring from teaching, my hours of 1:1 attention have expanded. I am now available to give full weekday hours to your pet in addition to my time during weekends. While caring for pets in parks and neighborhoods, I keep them on a leash during all walks and runs. If we are lounging in the yard I provide the dog an opportunity to relax on a lead while I am outdoors with them. For owners who allow their dogs to visit Lakewood Dog Park’s expansive exercise area, I monitor those dogs while they run and play off leash under my constant supervision. While indoors, I follow the rules that my pet owners prefer whether it be cuddling on furniture and slumbering in bed with me or crating them within their cozy caves with their favorite snuggle toy. I do everything I can to mirror the eating, playing, and napping comfort with the same positive experiences your pet receives in your living home while throwing in a little extra spoiling 🐶❤️🐶
About: I’ve been a dedicated pet caregiver since I was 12, starting with my senior cat, Geneva, who required specialized medical care and constant attention. This early experience taught me the importance of patience and being highly attentive to a pet’s specific health needs. From socializing newborn fosters to caring for low-maintenance seniors, I have cared for a wide range of cats. I am a responsible, trustworthy caregiver who treats every pet like a member of my own family. Whether your pet needs a long walk, lots of attention, or just a quiet companion, I am here to help!
About: Cat Care Experience In addition to my extensive dog‑handling background, I also have experience caring for cats. For three years I had two wonderful cats of my own—a calico named Cuddles and a sweet, gentle cat named Little Bit. They were part of my daily life, and I handled all their feeding, grooming, playtime, and care routines. Although I no longer have cats due to my husband’s allergies, I truly enjoy them and understand their unique personalities, body language, and need for a calm, respectful environment. I’m comfortable with shy cats, affectionate cats, and independent cats alike, and I’m attentive to their cues so they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, or simply offering quiet companionship, I provide the same level of love, intuition, and hands‑on care for cats as I do for dogs.

“Erena day sat for our dog, Cinnamon, while we were on a day trip as a family. She was easy to communicate with, accommodating, and welcoming to Cinnamon.

We would gladly use Erena again!”

About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, horses, fish) since I was a baby. Caring for them feels like a natural task! I have pet sat for many neighbors and friends, and I would love to share some love with your pets as well :) I work as a nurse 3 days a week, so I have 4 days off that I would love to spend with your pets! My schedule changes weekly but I am very flexible with my off days. I love pet parents who know what their pets need. Leave me with simple instructions and I will follow your lead! I love to clean as well, so you won’t have to worry about returning home to a mess.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals in-between! In the last 17 years, I've been a cat mom, and recently had a dog with my ex-partner (who I still care for when they're out of town). The only constant in my life has been animals, and I get such a joy out of playing with them, taking them on walks, cuddles, and seeing their personalities come out. I used to work at a pet store (back in the day), and in the last 5 years, actually helped stray dogs + cats in my neighborhood find incredible families. I know basic dog training (like sit, stay, break, etc), and I'm quick to learn whatever else you do with your dog or cat to make their time as normal as possible as you're away. I work from home during the week and can take care of walking, feeding, and socialization. I'm also a performing musician so I travel around the Chicago-land area frequently. I like to keep your pet's day as normal as possible. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be for pet parents and the pets when there's disruption in their routine, so I try to do everything as it normally is - feeding, walking, training, giving treats, etc.
About: I offer over a decade of pet care experience ranging from medical-needs seniors to high-energy puppies. My background includes: Specialized Care: Administering medications and senior pet monitoring. Cats: Experience with newborn foster kittens and adult cats. Dogs: Skilled in walking, feeding, and active play for all breeds and ages. I pride myself on being a highly attentive and trustworthy sitter. I’ve cared for everything from tiny kittens to energetic mutts like Ethel and Pickle, and I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I currently work a flexible part-time schedule, which leaves me with plenty of open availability to dedicate to your pets. Whether you are heading out of town or just need a consistent weekly walker, my schedule allows me to be highly attentive and present throughout the day. I believe every pet is an individual, and I pride myself on being highly adaptable to their specific needs and your personal preferences. Whether it’s a strict feeding schedule or specific walking habits, I am here to provide consistent, respectful care. I focus on in-home services, meaning your pet gets to stay in their 'safe space' while receiving my full care and supervision.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve helped friends and neighbors by providing dependable pet sitting, dog walking, and daily care while they were away. I’ve also been a pet owner for over 15 years, caring for both a small Shih Tzu and a large Golden Retriever weighing over 80 pounds, so I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes and energy levels. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved in their home environment. I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding and cleaning litter boxes. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available both during the week and on weekends. This means I can provide consistent care, regular walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day, depending on your pet’s needs. I care for pets as if they were my own, whether they are in my home or in their own familiar space. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved by sticking closely to their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I enjoy spending quality time with them, giving them attention, affection, and exercise based on their needs and energy level. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, walks, and any special routines. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of companionship so they never feel lonely while their owners are away. My goal is to help every pet feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

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.”

Charlie is 12 years old and diabetic, she stayed on her eating schedule and received her insulin shots on time — Dickson handled everything perfectly and with such care. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe, happy, and enjoying time playing in his fenced backyard. You can truly tell he loves animals and treats them like family.

We are incredibly grateful for the care Upasana provided and would absolutely leave Nysa with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
