Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!

We couldn’t be happier with Kimberly’s care for our dog, A.J.! She watched him for three weeks and did a fantastic job. Kimberly kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. A.J. was clearly very happy and comfortable with her, and it’s obvious she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. She was also wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process so much easier. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jackie took such amazing care of Aomi! She made sure Aomi was comfortable and happy every single day. I really appreciated the daily pictures and videos — it was so nice to see how well Aomi was doing while I was away. Communication was excellent; Jackie always kept me updated and responded quickly to any questions. Her home has a lovely, welcoming environment, and Aomi clearly felt right at home there. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — we’ll definitely book with Jackie again! 🐾

She stayed in constant communication, sent lots of pictures and updates, and it was clear from every message how much she genuinely cared about him. We never had to wonder how he was doing because she kept us informed every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would gladly trust Sarah with Rocky again.

Our two girls, Elizabeth and Scout, were cared for wonderfully by Suzanne. On our first meet and great prior to boarding, our girls took to Suzanne immediately, this was GREAT to see since we booked a sixteen night stay! Elizabeth needed to have oral medication twice daily and Suzanne was happy to make sure Elizabeth's needs were met. We were pleased with how well our girls got along with Suzanne's new puppy, Harley ?, and her fenced-in yard provided a safe outdoor space for our girls to hang out. Suzanne was great at sending photos and videos, to keep us updated on how our girls were doing throughout our trip. When we picked our dogs up, we found two very happy girls, that had a great time in Suzanne's care. We highly recommend Suzanne for your dog sitting or boarding needs, as she really seems to have a way with dogs.???‍?

From the moment we met Lana we knew our puppy would be in good hands. We were going to be out of town for 4 nights, so we were a little nervous (since our pup is very energetic and can be a handful) but Lana left us at ease with daily pictures and updates. Maddux came home worn out (probably from all the playtime with their dog) so it was nice to know that he had a buddy the whole time. We would not hesitate to leave him with Lana again in the future!

Nicholas was an amazing cat sitter from start to finish. We were out of the country for a week and he stopped by right on time, provided multiple photos and a detailed update of everything completed in each visit. He went above and beyond in watching after our 2 elderly cats and was flexible with us incase our flight was delayed. We feel very comfortable booking him for our next trip. If we didn’t work from home, I would definitely be booking him to take care of our dog. Would recommend him!!!

I highly recommend Ray for pet sitting. He is affable and prepares for inclement weather. I didn't realize snow was predicted the day I planned to have Ray watch my cat. Fortunately Ray did know about the snow forecast and let me know ahead of time so I could arrange off street parking for him while he was here.

Keri made sure she had eyes on each kitty at each visit and when she left on the last day she secured my keys safely but in a location where she had access in case of emergency. Keri is a real pro!!

About: As a proud pet owner myself, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I take immense pride and honor in providing the highest level of care, backed by decades of hands-on experience. My background includes over 15 years of experience working with German Shepherd/Sheep Herd dogs, understanding their unique loyalty, energy, and intelligence. Additionally, I have 28 years of dedicated experience caring for felines—both male and female indoor cats—giving me a deep understanding of their diverse personalities, needs, and behaviors. When your pets are with me, they will receive the same fierce love, respect, and attentive care that I give to my very own. My daily life revolves around my own vibrant pet family: one high-energy German Shepherd and three indoor cats. Managing this household has taught me the art of a perfect routine—balancing the physical and mental stimulation needed for intelligent herd breeds with the quiet, structured care that felines thrive on. From morning walks and puzzle toys for large breeds to meticulous litter box maintenance and separate feeding schedules for multiple cats, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my everyday routine. I know exactly what it takes to keep a multi-pet home safe, organized, and filled with love, and I am excited to bring that same dedicated, expert care to your beloved animals! As a dedicated pet provider, safety isn't just a checkbox for me—it is the foundation of how I manage my home and routine. I believe that a predictable, structured environment combined with purposeful engagement is key to keeping animals secure, happy, and stress-free. Secure & Supervised Environments: To ensure total safety, my cats remain strictly indoors at all times, protected from outside hazards. When out in the beauty of nature, dogs are strictly kept on a leash to guarantee full control and security. Confidence-Building Playtime: I know that cats thrive on mental stimulation just as much as dogs do. Structured playtime with felines is a priority in my home because it burns excess energy, prevents stress, and—most importantly—builds their confidence and security in their environment. Structured Rest & Crate Comfort: I respect an animal's need for boundaries and decompression. If a dog needs downtime to relax or reset, I utilize crate training as a safe, positive haven for them to unwind. Proactive Health & Bloat Prevention: Having deep experience with large breeds, I am hyper-aware of digestive health. All meals are served on a strict, timely schedule. Furthermore, I enforce mandatory, quiet rest periods immediately after eating to prevent any digestive discomfort or dangerous conditions like bloat. When you trust me with your pets, you are getting an environment rooted in vigilance, confidence-building routine, and a deep respect for animal wellness.

About: I have cared for cats in many of the homes where I’ve pet-sat, and I’m comfortable understanding and adapting to their unique personalities and energy. I appreciate their calm nature and have hands-on experience providing reliable care while their families are away. I’ve handled responsibilities such as feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. However, I believe caring for cats is about more than simply meeting their basic needs, but about building a genuine connection with them. I take the time to earn their trust, respect their space, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine. She's truly amazing and makes sure your dogs are treated as part of her family. Her family is just as great about letting your dog have space and build up comfort to bond with them. If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and hands-on caregiver. I raised my own dog from the time I was 15, so I have real experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, from energetic younger years to senior care. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve babysat family pets many times and am comfortable with both large and small dogs. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, or extra TLC, I’m attentive, gentle, and dependable. Pet care is now my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to every pet in my care. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests when possible. I plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m reliable about sticking to schedules and instructions so your pet’s day stays as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets overnight, my priority is safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible to your dogs needs. I make sure pets have a calm, secure environment and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and comfort throughout their stay, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods of time. I keep spaces clean, pet-safe, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to respect boundaries, especially for pets who may need time to adjust in a new environment. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance overnight, I treat them with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.

Janessa’s home is the perfect place for your doggo to spend time at - I absolutely recommend you choose Janessa for your fur-paninis’ needs!!

1st impressions is everything. It was Friday and we needed a puppy sitter on Sunday for Kira. Our first time using Karina and she took our Kira with open arms and a smile. Taking care of Kira included not just feeding and potty breaks, but also socializing with her dogs and a couple of videos of play time. THATS LOVE! Highly recommend her for puppy/dog parents who want a pleasant experience for that special member in the family. When we took Kira home, she was so exhausted from the fun she had with the other dogs, she was asleep for the rest of the night.

Both my little pups have special needs and she put me at ease with her communication and multiple photo updates. She was very thorough with understanding their care and I will absolutely use her services again next time we’re in town. Highly recommend if you are looking for a professional pet lover!

About: Hi, my name is Rick. I would like to start by saying my schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired from the Office of the Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County. My family and I have a home that has plenty of space to accommodate your pet. We have an 11-year-old son and also have three small dogs of our own that are extremely friendly, playful, up-to-date with all of their shots, and in great health. I believe pets complete a home. I am extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the care and needs of all types of animals. My experience in Pet Care began from having my own pets and caring for the ones of family and friends over a span of 40 plus years. I have also fostered a few dogs over the years. I have a substantial amount of experience with cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, hamsters, turtles, fish and so many others. My goal is to ensure your comfort and confidence, knowing that your pet will be loved and cared for as if it were our own. Should your pet require any medical attention or medication I am completely capable of providing this service, while in my care. We hope you consider us. I look forward to providing a caring, efficient service for your pets. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired. For the exception of dropping off and picking up my son from school I am home all day to provide attention and care for your pet. I have a large yard with a privacy fence and three friendly, small dogs to keep your pup company. If preferred, I can easily crate your dog if needed.

I couldn't have asked for a more down-to-earth, caring, responsible person to take care of my dog. Even with a wonderful grassy fenced-in backyard to play in, Camille also took our dog for two walks along the peaceful tree-lined neighborhood she resides in. Our dog is generally anxious in new settings but, when I came to pick him up, he was completely relaxed on the rug along with their dog, Rosie. With other Rover sitters, he usually bolts for me and the door simultaneously with a wide-eyed frenzy which I had always chalked up to his anxious personality. When my dog didn't bolt, I knew immediately that she had been especially hospitable kind and loving towards him - for him to feel so safe and look so comfortable and at home. I saw it in his manner and felt it in my gut. There is only one other Rover sitter (out of many we have tried) that has had this effect on him. I highly recommend Camille to take care of your dog because she has something special. I would be willing to drive 30 minutes out of my way and back to have her take care of our dog. There is nothing I want more than to know my dog is happy and content when I am not around.

Casey is an amazing sitter! We had a meet and greet beforehand. Usually Millie is a little scared of people when she first meets them, but not with Casey. Millie went right up to her and walked around the park with her without any issue. The day of, Casey sent us updates and photo of Millie’s stay. Millie had a good nap when she got home, so we know she had lots of play time to tire her out. We will definitely book Casey again!

About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.

About: As a proud pet owner myself, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I take immense pride and honor in providing the highest level of care, backed by decades of hands-on experience. My background includes over 15 years of experience working with German Shepherd/Sheep Herd dogs, understanding their unique loyalty, energy, and intelligence. Additionally, I have 28 years of dedicated experience caring for felines—both male and female indoor cats—giving me a deep understanding of their diverse personalities, needs, and behaviors. When your pets are with me, they will receive the same fierce love, respect, and attentive care that I give to my very own. My daily life revolves around my own vibrant pet family: one high-energy German Shepherd and three indoor cats. Managing this household has taught me the art of a perfect routine—balancing the physical and mental stimulation needed for intelligent herd breeds with the quiet, structured care that felines thrive on. From morning walks and puzzle toys for large breeds to meticulous litter box maintenance and separate feeding schedules for multiple cats, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my everyday routine. I know exactly what it takes to keep a multi-pet home safe, organized, and filled with love, and I am excited to bring that same dedicated, expert care to your beloved animals! As a dedicated pet provider, safety isn't just a checkbox for me—it is the foundation of how I manage my home and routine. I believe that a predictable, structured environment combined with purposeful engagement is key to keeping animals secure, happy, and stress-free. Secure & Supervised Environments: To ensure total safety, my cats remain strictly indoors at all times, protected from outside hazards. When out in the beauty of nature, dogs are strictly kept on a leash to guarantee full control and security. Confidence-Building Playtime: I know that cats thrive on mental stimulation just as much as dogs do. Structured playtime with felines is a priority in my home because it burns excess energy, prevents stress, and—most importantly—builds their confidence and security in their environment. Structured Rest & Crate Comfort: I respect an animal's need for boundaries and decompression. If a dog needs downtime to relax or reset, I utilize crate training as a safe, positive haven for them to unwind. Proactive Health & Bloat Prevention: Having deep experience with large breeds, I am hyper-aware of digestive health. All meals are served on a strict, timely schedule. Furthermore, I enforce mandatory, quiet rest periods immediately after eating to prevent any digestive discomfort or dangerous conditions like bloat. When you trust me with your pets, you are getting an environment rooted in vigilance, confidence-building routine, and a deep respect for animal wellness.

Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!

From the moment we met Lana we knew our puppy would be in good hands. We were going to be out of town for 4 nights, so we were a little nervous (since our pup is very energetic and can be a handful) but Lana left us at ease with daily pictures and updates. Maddux came home worn out (probably from all the playtime with their dog) so it was nice to know that he had a buddy the whole time. We would not hesitate to leave him with Lana again in the future!

Arlene has very good communication with us from the moment we contacted her to check for the availability until we picked up our dog. Our dog enjoyed the stay and we will trust her for future times we will require someone to keep our dog while we are in vacation

Camille was incredibly kind, patient and understanding not only with calzone (aka cannoli) but also with pick up and drop off times. Her home is beautiful and welcoming and she took calzone on lots of walks. Thank you so much for everything!

About: I am a sound healer, wife, mother to my toddler and animals. My husband is a city of chicago worker and we love the chicago area :) We are very active and love to go on long walks and love being outside with our dogs! I absolutely adore cats and love to spend time feeding the feral cats in my neighborhood. In my spare time I also love to go to the local park with my daughter to watch the squirrels and birds. I love nature. I am good with all types of animals and they love me! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and some chickens in our backyard. Our dogs are very friendly and love making new friends whenever they can. I truly love watching and meeting new animals and enjoy this type of work. Your pet will love and I cannot wait to meet and take care of them. Please reach out so I can help you with your pet needs! My schedule is open and flexible. My sound healing job varies but typically does not get in the way of pet sitting/ dog walking. Most days I am at home with my toddler or we are out exploring the parks. We have many pets in our home that we care for. I love to work with lists to help me to ensure all tasks are completed and that I am organized.

This was our second stay for our grumpy old man with Tanya. It is SUCH a relief to have a reliable caregiver and safe place to stay for our sweet boy when we are (way) out of town. He has such a great time and adores all the attention he gets - I don't know that he's particularly happy to come home! Thank you, Tanya, and I'm sure we'll see you soon!

Mariposa had her first overnight with Sophia and Andy. They shared photos during her stay and she came home tired--a sign that she had a good time. We've already rebooked two more visits.

About: I have a degree in veterinary assistant, and I also ran my own dog-walking business for 10 years before 2020 hit. After 2020, I started taking my clients' dogs into my house when they went on vacation. I have loved animals my whole life. I do have a Bird that is 15 years old. I have two boys, ages 5 and 9. My oldest son has autism and loves every dog that comes into our house. My youngest loves to spoil the dogs that come to the house. I only take one dog family at a time, so you know that your dog will be taken good care of and have all the love. I am a stay-at-home mom. I am home all the time. I take the kids to school and pick them up. I will be with them the Whole time they are here. I go for walks with the dogs three times a day, sometimes more if they need to go outside. I do live in a house with a basement, so they have free roam of the house. They have plenty of room to roam around.

I love Jonelle & her family! She is very nice, super accommodating, has great communication and genuinely loves animals! Dakota took to her immediately and I’m starting to think she’s sad that she’s back home! 😬 ! I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of my big baby! ❤️

Nicky was amazing. He was so kind and totally went the extra mile to make sure our dog was comfortable. She loved spending time with him and going for walks and cuddling. I would definitely rebook with him.

I’ve used Ian’s services twice now and he’s been excellent every time! I get daily pictures/videos of my girl and I know that she’s getting plenty of exercise under his care. I also appreciate that Ian loves pitbulls and is understanding of my dog’s big, loving nature. He’s my dog sitter from here on out!
