Personalized care for your dog or cat - Mokena
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Mokena
“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter while we were away for six days. She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand to ensure it was a great fit, which immediately gave us confidence in her care. Throughout our vacation, she provided consistent communication with thoughtful updates, photos, and videos, allowing us to truly relax knowing our dogs were well cared for. When one of our dogs experienced a decrease in appetite, she promptly communicated with us and worked through solutions, which we greatly appreciated. Her attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care for our dogs made our trip completely stress-free. We are very thankful to have found such a dedicated and involved sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Mercedes was amazing! She sent updates and pictures of my little Zeus and she let me know he was in good hands at all times. I will definitely be booking her again soon.”
“Rocco is a five month old puppy. He has a lot of energy. Joy and Dan did a great job. My dog was very happy. Joy and Dan sent updates and pictures on a regular basis. I picked him up and I felt they did a wonderful job and provided a great experience. I highly recommend Joy and Dan as they provided my dog a safe and very good experience. It made me feel at ease, leaving him with them.”
“Our pup was so well-loved by Patricia and her family. From the second she met our dog I knew she was in good hands and the regular updates and pictures she sent reassured us of that. Could not recommend her services more highly!”
“We have booked several times with Diana and Brian. Very happy with the care that our senior dogs receive. I feel very comfortable knowing that my dogs are being loved and well cared for.”
“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”
“We boarded our dog a couple of times and always had a great experience with La Toya. Always quickly responds to requests, sends pictures everyday and updates. I highly recommend!”
“A true life saver! We attempted to keep our dog at a pet friendly hotel while we went to a concert, but Noodle decided she was going to let the hotel guests know how much she missed us by barking. We thought for sure we'd have to listen to the concert from the parking lot or just not go all together. Kathy responded very quickly, super nice and accommodating . Thank you again!”
“Once again, Michelle and her family took incredible care of Bilbo! They truly treat him like one of their own, and it brings so much peace of mind knowing he’s getting just as much love as he gives. The regular updates and photos keep me completely at ease while I'm away. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and cannot recommend Michelle highly enough!”
“Pennie was very helpful, nice and accommodating. The lovely big fenced yard and her calm and welcoming nature put us instantly at ease upon arrival and the dogs were well cared for while we were gone!”
“This was my 1st time boarding my pet. I was worried but Dwight came with such great reviews so I took a chance. I am so glad I did. Dwight was amazing with my pup and my pup even made new friends. I will be rebooking ASAP and I am also going to include traditional daycare. Thanks Dwight and thanks Rover for doing all the research and making the process seamless!”
“Iman is so flexible and quick to respond. She has the cutest added touches that make me feel confident that Malcolm is being cared for properly. I won’t spoil it by sharing all the details but know that Iman is super thoughtful. I hope that Iman is Malcolm’s forever sitter! 💕”
“Kori obviously had a great time at Jim’s. Jim is very organized and attended to my senior dog’s needs well in the quiet and relaxed environment she needs. I would feel comfortable having Kori stay with Jim again.”
“Heather ended up taking care of Dempsey an extra day after our flight back to Chicago was cancelled. She was quick to respond and helped make a stressful situation a little easier to manage. She took great care of Demps while we were out of town. Thank you!!”

“Amy did an amazing job! I felt completely comfortable leaving my cats with her. She went out of her way to play with them and sent me the pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much, Amy! I’ll definitely be booking with you again next time! 😊”
“I can’t say enough good things about Annie! She has taken care of my cat several times now and she is amazing with him. She is punctual and attentive, and always sends the cutest photos to me and notes on how my cat is doing each day I was away. I hate leaving my cat for any period of time alone, but Annie made me feel like my cat was being well cared for each day she came to check in on him. Thank you so much! Highly recommend! 😊”
“We had left our 2 cats under Kelly’s care when we went on our trip. One of them is under medication. Kelly was very regular in sending us the pics and the daily updates. It’s always nice to have the feeling that someone is there to take care of our pets with the same care we give. Kelly has been great. Even my timid cat went and mingled with her ... which is a big deal!!”
“Michelle is wonderful and always goes above and beyond! I never worry when she has watched our cats. When we had trouble with our flights, she was flexible and helped us a lot. I completely recommend her!”
“I was a bit nervous leaving my cat with someone I hadn’t met before, but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Robin was incredibly professional from the start—communicative, punctual, and clearly experienced with pets. While I was away, Robin sent regular updates with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She kept the litter box clean, followed all instructions, and most importantly, took wonderful care of my cat. I came home to a well cared for kitty and a tidy space. I highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Thank you for caring for Baby. It gave me such a peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much for the toy for baby, that was such a kind gesture! Would hire again”
“This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!”
“Suzanne has taken care of my cat a couple of times and she has been always going above and beyond. Each day she drops in she gives me constant detailed updates and sends me pictures. She made my life easier & I’m definitely going to use her help again when I’m traveling next.”
“Was so happy that we found Faith! She took excellent care of our cat while we were away and went above and beyond! We would definitely use her again and recommend her services!”
About: I grew up on a farm and we've always had 3 dogs and 2 cats along with a plethora of other animals. I know how to ensure safety and have a clear head when things go awry. I absolutely adore dogs and cats of all ages and can competently take care of any range of behaviors.
About: Cats are my specialty! I have been caring for cats since I was a child and have had many cats of my own as an adult. I've cared for cats with varying personalities and temperaments. I also have experience caring for cats with special needs, including experience administering medications. I'm comfortable giving rach cat the patience, attention, and care they need to feel safe and comfortable.
“Coretta did an excellent job with our kitties She was diligent, punctual, and tried to get our shy kitties to be friendly and active. We highly recommend Coretta to take care of your fur babies. Thanks so much, Coretta, we appreciate you!”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I volunteered for two years at an animal shelter, where I helped care for dogs by providing exercise, socialization, and daily attention. This experience taught me how to work with a variety of temperaments and how to make animals feel safe and comfortable. I am also a dog owner myself and currently care for two Doberman Pinschers, which has given me extensive experience handling large, energetic breeds and understanding their physical and emotional needs. In addition, I have provided pet sitting services for many neighbors and family friends, earning their trust through my reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer routine, I am committed to providing personalized care, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they receive the exercise, attention, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide consistent and personalized care. In my home and in clients' homes, I ensure pets have a safe, clean, and supervised environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special requests from owners. Having cared for my own two Doberman Pinschers and many pets for neighbors and friends, I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Kelera was fantastic!! She took care of our 2 kittens for about 5 days. It was me and my wife’s first time leaving the cats for an extended amount of time. Kelera made us feel relieved and confident that our kittens were in great hands. Would definitely book again”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mokena
“First time putting my 12 week old puppy I was a bit nervous not knowing how he would react. Michelle communicated the plan for him at the meet and greet and did an excellent job providing updates thought out day. It really helped give peace of mind that he was in great hands.”
“Amy took such great care of my dog! He was so tired from playing with her puppy, he went right to sleep when I got him home. It was nice to have him burn off all that energy by playing All Day. He also gets to socialize with her kids which is great. I'm so excited to take him back!”
“Highly recommended! Desiree did a fantastic job watching our two dogs. Even though it was a gloomy, rainy day, she kept our pups happy and comfortable. Her place was very clean and well kept. She also sent pictures and a report. We will definitely book with Desiree again!”
“Bridget did an awesome job with Ardal! She took great care of him and sent me a few updates, which I appreciated. I have a very tired, very happy pup and will definitely be requesting future daycare appointments!”
“Danielle and her family were wonderful with Blackie. He's a lab mix that can be a little anxious when he is away from us, but they treated Blackie like their own. If the pup is happy, we are happy and we plan to use Danielle again!”
“Katie was GREAT! We set up a meet and great, which went great! Katie was super communicative and sent us a lot of pictures! We definitely felt like our dog was in good hands and had a great time!”

“Michelle was fantastic, she took great care of Maple and was very accommodating to our hectic schedule. We'll definitely book with Michelle again any time we're in the area!”
“Great experience with Ethel. We came in from out of town to watch a Red Stars game and she took care of our bernedoodle, Frankie. Ethel’s place is a very short way from SeatGeek Stadium and Frankie came back to us happy.”

“We left Cooper with Danielle for the second time this week and he seemed very happy to be there! She sent lots of pics during the day and he clearly had fun, because when we got home he was exhausted! Thanks Danielle!”
“She is such a great person inside and out! Did a doggy date care to have my puppy aquatinted with her kids and other dogs she was boarding and everything went well! She even gave my puppy a bath. I was very comfortable and satisfied to know my dog was and is in good hands! Highly recommend!!!”

“Kelly helped with walks for my 6.5 yr old Husky. She was communicative, responsible, on time and had broad knowledge of dog care and behaviors. Would not hesitate to have her walk or care for Blair anytime!”
“I used Annie for a few walks with my 2.5yr old lab and she was amazing! She took her for nice walks and even hung out with her in the yard, as my dog loves to sunbathe. Winnie can be hesitant with new people, but you can tell from the pictures she sent that she loved having Annie here! Thanks so much and will definitely be using her again! Highly recommended!”
“Jamie was very attentive to my two dogs that were using a Dog Sitter for the first time. She was very patient and kind with them and treated them as if they were her own. My dogs did great and I was able to enjoy my vacation, knowing that they were in good hands.”
About: I have experience taking care of my own personal cat and some experience with dogs as I had a dog from ages 10-20. I love both dogs and cats. Message me for availability as it changes every 3 weeks. I work full time but they are 12 hour shifts 3 days a week and rotate. I am able to do drop in visits/walks. I would treat the animals like they are my own. Animals give me a great deal of joy. I love learning new information about animals
About: I've worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility where I cleaned, fed, bathed, and medicated dogs of all kinds. Friends and family know that I'm their go-to pet/housesitter. I've had three dogs in my life, one after the other, so I've never been without a furry companion. I've even had strangers tell me that I have a welcoming and open aura when it comes to animals. I would love to meet your fur baby <3 I am currently working a full-time job on 2nd shift, from 3 pm - 12 am on weekdays. Looking to go back to school soon and earn my master's. I feel good with adapting to new environments and agree with the choice of keeping the pet where they are most comfortable, their home. My family and I did the same. I'm very particular and overly sensitive when it comes to people going through my stuff ( for example, like in a dorm room), so I respect people's homes and their belongings.
About: Hi! Thanks for visiting our page! We’re Michelle and Christy, a wife duo, who both run this account and are here to take care of your pets so you can a stress free vacation/business trip/break! We have always talked about owning a farm and adopting every dog available but since we know that’s not possible right now, we figured we’d offer our services to take care of other pets. We know how hard it can be to find a pet sitter you can rely on and trust but we would like to be that for you. We treat our pups like family (because they are!) and your dogs will be no different. We don’t want you worrying when you’re on vacation or a business trip and will provide updates and photos as much as you’d like. We’ve taken care of dogs our entire life. We’ve had family pets and our own pets that we’ve walked, administered meds, fed, and cuddled. We currently work from home so we would always be home with the pets to hang out and take care of them. They could go out whenever they needed. At my home: have a fenced in yard and we have two pups that love to have fun running around and playing with other dogs. At your home: I work from home so I can be around all day to hang out and take care of your animals.
About: I have taken care of friends and family and fellow neighbors pets ranging from yorkies to bull mastiffs. I was responsible for taking them out, feeding, play time, walking, and just spending time with them. I love animals no matter how big or small they are. I work part time at night. I am very flexible with pet sitting needs. I have no rigid schedule which makes it easier for me to take of your pets. I always make sure to keep a eye on your loved pets and make sure all their needs are met. Guarantee you’ll come home to a happy dog!
About: As an owner of a senior puppy-mill-rescued beagle, I'm familiar with some of the difficulties some pets may face in their day to day lives. Pet solutions aren't just one size fits all- and adapting my care style to fit your pet's goals and personality is my specialty. From high energy play sessions to long naps in the yard, I look to give your pet the best experience I can. I'm currently working part time, but my hours are fairly flexible. I have open availabilities on weekdays, specifically mornings, but if your pet needs a little extra attention, I'm more than happy to make more room! I'm available for dog walking, daily visits, and overnight stays for any pet that may need a friend while their main person is away. With over 3 years of professional pet experience (and many more years of being a dog owner) I believe your furry friends deserve the highest care and attention when their people are away. I have experience in dog walking, medicine distribution, behavior analysis, and animal enrichment and engagement. My experience working in an animal shelter gives me a wide view of the different perspectives and angles that care can show up in.
About: I’ve been around/taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up with four pugs and I now have just one elderly chihuahua. I also help my grandmother care for her multipoo and I never pass up on the opportunity to pet a cute doggy! I am currently home from college for the summer, and have plenty of free time to walk/check in on your pups! I typically free during the days from 11:00am-6:30pm I have my own leash and poop bags which I am able to use for walks, but I am also completely fine with using your own accessories!
“Mia has been so good with our energetic pup, she keeps us informed about how she does on her daily walk and even has spent a little extra time playing with her when she could. So happy we found her, she truly loves dogs and loves taking care of them!”
“Katie was so easy to communicate with from the moment we sent the dog walk request - even finding a time to do a video call beforehand :) We are so thankful that we found Katie to take care of Parker. We would definitely use her again!”
