“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Veera! You looked after him wonderfully, and we really appreciated your prompt responses to all our questions. We felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend your pet care services!”
“Kelly, along with her own pooch Maggie, were excellent companions for our puppy's first stay away from home. Kelly was on top of everything, because she's very professional and caring. I really appreciated the photos she sent each day showing that our dog was having a good time. Kelly was always on top of the entire process. Because we were traveling to and from the airport, together we made the drop off and pick up as smooth and quick as possible. Kelly's location, about five minutes from the airport, was perfect too.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Deidre gave our two dogs while we were away for the week. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. She treated them like her own, making sure they felt completely at home in her space. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were in such good hands. The dogs looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Deidre to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“They were absolutely amazing! I was nervous to leave my dog because he is big and has a lot of energy but he did such a good job, and they stayed in constant communication with me and sent me pictures which eased my nervousness! They are super friendly and love dogs!”
“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 !!!”
“Pepe came home soooo happy! He had a great time with Angela. He can't wait to go back in 3 weeks! This is the first time I've left him that he wasn't upset when he came home. Angela made me feel relieved and not worried about him being ignored or abused. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Windham loved being with Patricia. She was just so nice to work with us on Windham's separation anxiety and make him feel right at home. He had a great time and her updates made us feel so secure that he was at the right place. I can't recommend her enough. We will definitely use her again should we be in the area.”
“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.”
“Jayne was wonderful!! You can clearly see she loves dogs and will pamper your furry babies. During Jazz's stay, she hurt her paw but Jayne was right on the case - she let me know right away and was able to take care of Jazz. I came back to find a super happy pup! Will definitely use Jayne's services again!”
“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!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Chisato gave me the confidence I needed. She was amazing with King. He also enjoyed his time playing with toys and being a good boy on walks. I also really enjoyed receiving tons of videos and pictures of King while I was away. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. ☺️”
“We are very pleased with the love and care given to our Lexxie. The pictures sent throughout the days helped us get through our journey seeing our little girl. We would definitely return for future pet care and are very happy Lexxie was happy most of all. Thank you so much!!!!!”
“I was so very happy that I selected Veronique to care for my pup during my long 12 day vacation. Veronique truly exceeded my expectations by caring for my puppy just like she was one of the family, by sending me photos and videos of their walks in the park and by the beach, and by calming her during rain storms. I feel that Veronique is a dog whisperer. She also bathed my dog and clipped her nails beautifully. Seeing the videos, I joyfully felt that my pup was having more fun than me. I highly recommend Veronique to sit for any type of dogs as she has years of experience, a high level of canine knowledge, and her house is warm and safe, and set up with a large fenced yard and secure features. I will be using her services again in the future.”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
About: As a teenager, I took care of 10 dogs, 3 cats, 4 Guinea Pigs, and a bunch of farm animals. I am in the Army and love exercise. I can take your animals on long walks and trips to the parks and getting them tired for your return home. I am timely and will never be late. I am now 27 and currently have a spoiled border collie who is ready to make some friends. I mostly have availability from Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM - Monday morning around 7:00 AM. Aside from those times, I do have lunch from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM every day and get out of work at 3:00 PM, so I am available in the evenings and nights every night of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly border collie in my back yard. I am also able to crate my dog if needed to allow your pet the freedom to roam around. I also allow the pets inside, so they will not be exposed to extreme weather unless they are going potty.
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”

About: I've volunteered at cat shelters all over the U.S. and Puerto Rico, as well as in the Middle East, caring for everything from shy rescues to playful kittens and senior cats. At home I keep a spotless, calm, and cat-proofed space with a consistent routine — fresh litter daily, on-time meals, and lots of quiet affection and play on their terms. I know how much cats thrive on cleanliness and predictability, and I make sure every cat in my care feels safe, happy, and healthy.
“Toni was an absolute gem! She took care of our two cats while she was away and they were in great hands! The communication and care from Toni is above and beyond. We are very happy and the cats seemed very happy too :) highly recommend!!”

I also have a long history of taking care of my friends' fur children, both cats and dogs alike.

“Swagata was absolutely amazing in accommodating a last-minute request. I reached out to her late at night due to an urgent appointment the following morning, and she graciously accepted without hesitation. I already knew Tommy was in good hands since he had a great experience with her previously. Throughout the time, Swagata kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. Her warmth and attentiveness truly show how much she cares for pets. Tommy was happy and relaxed, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care. I’ll definitely be revisiting!”
About: Hi, I'm Chelly! I've always been an animal lover and have had the privilege of loving and caring for so many fur babies at Yuppy Puppy in Lake Bluff for about 2 years! I'm based in the Lake County and North Shore area, but if you're a bit farther out, don't worry, I'm always open to finding the perfect fit. Whether your pup needs a walk, your cat wants a friendly check-in, or you need someone to house sit while you're away, I am ready to help! I love working with animals of all ages and backgrounds, playful puppies, curious kittens, wise seniors, and even pets who need medications or a little extra love. I'm here to attend to your pets and your needs as an owner! :) I have a dog of my own, a sweet doodle named Bambi, and she ignites my love for dogs every single day. I know your pet is truly family and I promise to care for them as if they were my own, showering them with love and sending you plenty of photos so you always know how they're doing. 🐾 ♡ I have a flexible afternoon schedule to fit all pet parent needs! I am currently a student in online school, and work as an RBT from 8:15 - 3:15. I'm always willing to try and accommodate as much as possible, so don't be afraid to ask. :) When I’m house sitting, my goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just someone filling in. I pay close attention to the little rituals, favorite toys, bedtime snuggles, and those everyday quirks that mean so much to your pet. I’ll do my best to keep their world steady and familiar, so they can truly relax while you’re away. Your home will be treated with respect, and your furry companion will get plenty of love until you return. I always pay attention to detail, making sure doors are secure, gates are latched, and your pet can explore safely. Whether we’re out for a sunny walk or just lounging at home, I’m watching for every tail wag, ear perk, or sign that your pet needs something. With experience caring for both mellow seniors and energetic pups, I’m flexible and patient, ready to adapt to whatever makes your pet happiest. Your pet will always be treated like family! :)
“Fantastic host and sitter for my pup Indy! I would recommend for anyone in Waukegan. I was in town for my brother’s Navy boot camp graduation, and needed a sitter for the day. Byron answered promptly, and sent regular updates through out the day. I really appreciated the photo updates, and put my mind at ease so I could enjoy the day. Again, would totally recommend!”
“Thank you Dee for wonderful care you provided to Nikita while we were gone. I felt confident and calm that you would take great care of her! I would love to keep in touch and use your services in the future. I also highly recommend your services to others, especially to highly worrisome and demanding pet owners:)))”
“Pat took great care of my dog. She has a lot of experience and really cares about animals. This was my dog's first time with Pat and he seemed to have enjoyed himself (even though he was a little uneasy with an unfamiliar environment). I definitely recommend Pat to care for your fur babies.”
“Deidre was fantastic! Will definitely use again when we’re in town next! At drop off, my dogs were comfortable with her right away and at pick up my dogs came home tired and happy! Thank you!”
“Jax absolutely loves Thanit. He is so excited to see her. When I drop him off he runs right in the house - never looking back to acknowledge that I’m leaving or say goodbye. During his stays, Thanit sends pictures and videos showing Jax in action - playing with toys, taking walks through the neighborhood, running around the backyard with her husband, and snuggling on the couch with her. Jax has truly found his 2nd home. And I’ve found peace of mind knowing he is with someone that loves and cares about him. We will be booking daycare with her again. I highly recommend Thanit - your dog will thank you.”
“Kim is patient and loving and Frankie enjoyed his long walk and time playing in the large fenced in yard. We are so happy that we found Kim to watch our puppy when we have family outings. Thank you so much!”
About: I grew up with a dog and loved him very much. He passed away, and the family has not yet gotten another, but I miss caring for a dog. I love all dogs and cats of any size and any animal, for that matter. I am incredibly attentive to animals and always love giving them care, even when they are not mine. I am almost always home and able to pet sit through the day and overnight. I am currently in college, but taking classes online, so I am constantly available to tend to your pet's needs. I am a very active person who can take your pet on walks or runs more than once each day if need be. If your pet enjoys resting, I will also do it with them as I complete work on my computer and will pay close attention to them or snuggle with them if it's what they like. I will care for each pet depending on their specific needs, whether they need to have walks, use the bathroom often, or receive personal care. My home is very safe for pets, as it was already set up for a dog in the past with carpeted stairs and a yard to play in. The yard has a fence around part of it, but it is still open, so if I take your pet outside to play, I will use a leash and keep them in the yard safely separated from any danger. The only other person living in the home will be my mother, who is also an animal lover, but is generally at work during weekdays.

“This was the first time Belle and Lucy stayed with Jean and they had a blast! She took such good care of my babies that I didn’t have to worry about them at all! We are glad to have found her and hope to use her services again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Danya was amazing. First of all, she was able to accommodate a last minute same day daycare. She sent updates and pics throughout my pups stay. He's extremely mopey and has refused to engage in the past when we've had daycare, but danya was able to coax him out into the fresh air. She's basically a miracle worker. Toast was happy, healthy, and clearly we left him in great hands. If I could leave more stars I would!!!”
“Megan is friendly, very good with observations and feedback, shares photos and updates throughout the day. Her home is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. Seeing her post on Rover and after our first visit to meet our dogs, it was easy to trust her with our two dogs. They were immediately happy and calm at her home.”

About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do. From playful pups to curious cats and every animal in between, I believe each furry (or feathery!) friend deserves love, care, and a whole lot of fun.

I am flexible and adaptive to each individual pet’s needs and environment. I love walking and am happy to give extra time to take in the sniffs- or enjoy a snuggle!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could put 6 stars I would! Amna is so kind and attentive. She sends thorough communication and is always early. She is so understanding and takes very good care of my dog Zeus. When she’s with him I know he not only is in good hands but that he’s having fun with her. I feel so confident in her and would recommend Amna to anyone. I always know that she is going to take amazing care of my little fur baby!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for about 4 years and I have a fur baby of my own as well. He’s 8 months old and absolutely a sweet boy. Your baby is in good Hands. I’m active duty military and my off days are spent with my fur baby and spending time with him.

“Diana was prompt, responsive and reliable! She was great to work with and I felt so much relief leaving my pets in good hands while I was away. Thank you Diana! Will absolutely rebook soon”
About: My experience comes from caring for my own pets—both dogs and cats—and I grew up surrounded by dogs; we have always had them in our home and love them dearly. In fact, that is why my daughter studied veterinary medicine; although she is currently working as a nurse in this country, she is very close to achieving her goal of becoming a veterinarian again. I am available on weekends, specifically from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM, and also on some weekdaysTuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Following the client's instructions and maintaining good, thorough communication with the owner is, I believe, the best way to ensure our service is efficient and safe—making sure not to overlook any details regarding the pet, such as medical conditions, special care needs, or behavioral traits.
“Toni is amazing! We have a very nervous Am Staff and she has gone above and beyond to work with us in making him comfortable and at ease. We are very appreciative of her patience and understanding with him!”
“Isabella was great. We had just adopted a deaf dog from a shelter,. we didn’t know how he would react to her but she did so well with him and made sure he was comfortable before approaching him . She helped us with our pup not having any accidents which was a big relief.”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Veera! You looked after him wonderfully, and we really appreciated your prompt responses to all our questions. We felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend your pet care services!”
“Kelly, along with her own pooch Maggie, were excellent companions for our puppy's first stay away from home. Kelly was on top of everything, because she's very professional and caring. I really appreciated the photos she sent each day showing that our dog was having a good time. Kelly was always on top of the entire process. Because we were traveling to and from the airport, together we made the drop off and pick up as smooth and quick as possible. Kelly's location, about five minutes from the airport, was perfect too.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Deidre gave our two dogs while we were away for the week. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. She treated them like her own, making sure they felt completely at home in her space. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were in such good hands. The dogs looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Deidre to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“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 !!!”
“Pepe came home soooo happy! He had a great time with Angela. He can't wait to go back in 3 weeks! This is the first time I've left him that he wasn't upset when he came home. Angela made me feel relieved and not worried about him being ignored or abused. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Chisato gave me the confidence I needed. She was amazing with King. He also enjoyed his time playing with toys and being a good boy on walks. I also really enjoyed receiving tons of videos and pictures of King while I was away. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. ☺️”
“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.”
“We are very pleased with the love and care given to our Lexxie. The pictures sent throughout the days helped us get through our journey seeing our little girl. We would definitely return for future pet care and are very happy Lexxie was happy most of all. Thank you so much!!!!!”
“Anna, took really great care of our Golden Retriever, Beau! I was pleased the find her taking him for a walk when I called to pick him up early. We appreciate her flexibility and love for dogs!”
“I was so very happy that I selected Veronique to care for my pup during my long 12 day vacation. Veronique truly exceeded my expectations by caring for my puppy just like she was one of the family, by sending me photos and videos of their walks in the park and by the beach, and by calming her during rain storms. I feel that Veronique is a dog whisperer. She also bathed my dog and clipped her nails beautifully. Seeing the videos, I joyfully felt that my pup was having more fun than me. I highly recommend Veronique to sit for any type of dogs as she has years of experience, a high level of canine knowledge, and her house is warm and safe, and set up with a large fenced yard and secure features. I will be using her services again in the future.”
“Nicole was the absolute best sitter for our pupper! We were worried at first with introducing a new person to our Lilac as she is not always the nicest to strangers at first, but Lilac took right to Nicole and they became besties right away. Nicole is such a kind and amazing person and sent us plenty of pictures to ease our minds during our trip while they had their girl party :) . We will definitely be using her again since we know we would never have to worry. If youre looking for a sitter, Nicole is the one to go with!”
“Heather is seriously the BEST! This was our second time having her watch Arlo, and I already feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She had him for an overnight and two days, and I never once had to worry. She sent me pictures and updates and was so kind and reassuring the entire time. You can genuinely tell how much she cares about the dogs she watches, and that means everything to me. Arlo is my baby, and knowing he is safe, loved, and being well cared for makes it so much easier to leave him. We absolutely adore Heather and will 100% continue using her whenever we can! ❤️🐾”
About: As a teenager, I took care of 10 dogs, 3 cats, 4 Guinea Pigs, and a bunch of farm animals. I am in the Army and love exercise. I can take your animals on long walks and trips to the parks and getting them tired for your return home. I am timely and will never be late. I am now 27 and currently have a spoiled border collie who is ready to make some friends. I mostly have availability from Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM - Monday morning around 7:00 AM. Aside from those times, I do have lunch from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM every day and get out of work at 3:00 PM, so I am available in the evenings and nights every night of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly border collie in my back yard. I am also able to crate my dog if needed to allow your pet the freedom to roam around. I also allow the pets inside, so they will not be exposed to extreme weather unless they are going potty.
“Monica is awesome with our Sky. She genuinely loves dogs and takes really special care to give ours the attention that she needs. The communication is great and she has been very flexible with our erratic schedules. We’re very happy to have met her and we feel very comforted knowing our Sky is in her good hands”
