“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“Amberly was super accommodating and was a lifesaver when our sitter canceled last minute, and our pup had so much fun playing that she slept like a rock when we brought her home! Also she took amazing photos of our pup as an added plus :)”
“Justine, Brett, and family made our little guy feel right at home. If our dog could speak a human language I am sure he’d say to my family, “Hurry up and go on vacation again!” If you need someone to care for your pup(s) look no further, as they are great carers and communicators.”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for my puppy, Mabel. She was an excellent communicator, kept me updated and sent the cutest photos throughout Mabel's stay. As anyone with a puppy knows, they can be full of energy and a little chaotic at times, but Michelle handled Mabel's craziness with patience and confidence.”
“I try to always tip in cash. For some reason I don't know I just feel like it's safer. But I won't let my cat stay with anybody else for Katie. Katie makes your animal feel like they are one of her family. My cat is very skittish and afraid of strangers. But not with Katie. She is absolutely the best! If you want the best than book with Katie!”
“David and Susan were easy to schedule with and very accommodating for our dog! They hosted our lab for a long vacation and made sure she was loved while we were away! Thank you!”
“Shirley is the BEST. She cared for our kitten with multiple congenital issues (cleft palate & twisted back legs) and accommodated her litterbox & play area to fit her mobility needs, along with tube feeding her by hand. I can tell she truly cares for animals and looks out for both pets and owners. She went above & beyond in consulting her veterinary knowledge from working in a specialty clinic to make it easier for us as owners to care for our Callie & plan for all her needs in the future. I got so many updates & pics/videos of Callie over the weekend, & we couldn't stop talking about how grateful we were she was spending the night with Shirley. We send love & thanks!!!”
“Definitely recommend Melissa! My dog was very shy at first and she made him comfortable to open up for that we are very thankful. She Keep us informed everyday sending us pictures and videos. I can say I found an amazing sitter who I can trust to leave my dog with without being worried.”
“Danielle was wonderful. She sent pictures, videos and updates. Ollie had so much fun running around with her and the neighbors dogs. I don’t think he missed us at all! We would definitely use her again.”
“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 couldn't be happier with how things went leaving Dolce with Christina and her family. I have boarded my dog at kennels before and have always had some issue when I returned, not this time. I could tell she was happy and felt at home with Christina and her family. Would highly recommend Christina to anyone.”
“Lynda is wonderful! She watched our dog 3 days over a long weekend and did a great job. Her house and yard are perfect for hosting dogs. Definitely will be coming back for all future boarding needs!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“Mary helped us feel at ease from the start. Day one of being with our dog, she sent us pictures that let us know our girl was in good hands and was happy. A pic and/or video came daily with a report on how she was doing. We feel at ease with Mary, and will definitely want to book with her again. Five stars for Mary!!”
“We left our Sheltie, Molly, with Erica for 7 nights while we were on a cruise, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is incredibly kind, caring, and professional. Molly seemed to have a wonderful time with her and her dog, Rocky. We truly appreciated the updates and the love she showed our pup. Plus, her home is conveniently located just 10 minutes from O’Hare, making pickup after travel super easy. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“So glad we found Ashley to take care of our 10-11 week old dachshund puppy for over a week while we were on vacation. She created a safe and cozy space where our pup could be secure and not be crated all day, and still be able to play and interact with her kiddos and other pups. Our pup got a lot of love and attention, I was afraid he wasn't going to want to come home! Highly recommended!”
“Mary and crew were very accommodating to handle Remington! Easy to set up, sent pics and updates timely, and were flexible as our flight was delayed. Will be sending Rem there again for sure!”

“Ashley was attentive and followed all of my instructions. She went above and beyond trying to befriend my shy guy cat lol. I'm definitely using her in the future for Gary!”
“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.”
“Absolutely without a doubt one of the best cat sitters we have EVER had. Amberley and her husband Matt went above and beyond to slowly introduce my cats to their new surroundings - to the point where they were sleeping with the cats in a separate room to ensure their comfort and care. They went above and beyond a normal “sitter” service. I would 100% recommend them without hesitation. Communication, pictures, etc. were all consistent, prompt and reassuring. Thank you Amberley and Matt!?”
“Rachel helped us out last minute when my parents couldn’t help us towards the end of our trip. She jumped at the chance to help us and our kitties. I truly appreciate her love and care for our cats!”
“Meghan is always fantastic with my two cats and even my fussy reptile. She sends lots of great photos with playtime updates and is always looking out for my pet’s needs.”
“Dawn was fantastic, reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. My cats took to her right away, even the one who usually dislikes everyone ended up enjoying her company!”
“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!”
“Dana went above and beyond for our kitties! One of ours is medically needy, plus needed a last minute vet visit. She remained flexible and communicated promptly and made it all so much less stressful for us. She certainly loved on both of the kitties while she did her drop-ins, and we’d use her again!”
“Cat is a wonderful choice for a pet sitter! She goes above and beyond, caring for our cat, but also attentive to our house. She leaves elaborate reports and several cute pictures. I will definitely contact her again, the next time we are out of town.”
About: I’ve always been around cats and have experience with cat sitting different types of cats (disabled, kittens, social, a little spicy, etc.) I love just spending time with cats so any type of drop in, i can do :)
About: I’ve had extensive experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, including a time when I owned 11 cats. That experience taught me how to manage everything from feeding routines to litter box maintenance to monitoring health, behavior, and social dynamics. I understand every cat has it’s own personality - some want constant attention, while others prefer space and quiet companionship. Whether your cat is playful , shy, independent, or affectionate, I ensure they feel stress-free while you’re away!
“Emily was very efficient and went above and beyond to make sure I had peace of mind while away. I will most definitely be requesting her services the next time I go on vacation!”
“Kiersten kept our kitties super happy while we were gone. She was super flexible and our cats warmed up to her very quickly. We really appreciated the consistent pictures. Overall very happy and would book with Kiersten again!”
“Rachel took amazing care of our cat for 19 days, and we couldn’t be happier with her service! She was punctual every day, spent quality time with our cat, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable. Our cat is usually very shy, but he warmed up to her within just a couple of days, which speaks volumes about her patience and kindness. She played with him daily, ensured he was well-fed, and kept his litter box clean. We also really appreciated the daily notes and pictures she sent through Rover, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Rachel is a fantastic pet sitter, and we would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Collette did a wonderful job with our shy cat. She was very patient with her and updated us daily. This was our first time using Rover and Collette and I highly recommend both!”

“Karissa was amazing!! She took such great care of my Ollie and sent me so many updates throughout the day. Ollie can be a lot to handle and she managed his crazy like a champ. We will definitely be using Karissa again. Thank you so much!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
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. PLEASE ONLY DOGS THAT ARE HOUSE TRAINED! 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!
“Justine and Brett were fantastic! By the time I picked up my little pup, he was all tired out from all the attention and playtime they had with him. So grateful to them for watching my pet!”
“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: 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.

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!
