“Thao and family was so great with our dog Addie! This was our first time using her and knew Addie was in great hands! She sent pics and video while we were away and Addie always looked very at home.”
“Noor and her family did a wonderful job with our cat Tabby while we were on vacation! She sent us frequent updates about how Tabby was doing and made a great effort to become friends with her. Definitely would book with them again, and would recommend!”
“Naomi was great!! She was very prepared and ready to learn about and to care for our dogs just the way they needed. Our dogs had the best time taking long walks, lounging, and looking out the big window. She took the time to introduce our dogs and Milo and they became great friends. The house was quiet, very clean, and perfect for our dogs. We loved seeing the daily photos while we were traveling. Definitely would recommend!”
“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”
“The absolute best! We do not live close to Kimberly but the level of care and love she and her family give to both our babies makes the travel absolutely worth it. She makes our pets apart of her family and they absolutely adore staying with Kim. Highly recommended!”
“So happy we found Diane! Our girl was very happy staying with her and we could relax knowing she was well cared for. Diane’s house is very clean and well set up and she has a nice enclosed yard. Diane was always quick with responses and sent photos. We will definitely use her again!”
“Careful and caring family home where our Rosie spent Christmas and New Years while we traveled overseas. Vladimir and Laura met with us in advance and provided updates periodically and responded within minutes anytime we reached out while traveling with pictures and comments. Our dog came home rested, NOT stressed, from being at a home away from home. Thank you guys!”
“We cannot put into words how much peace of mind we receive when leaving our sometimes-anxious pup in the care of Kazuhiro and Akemi. Their regular updates and photos/videos are invaluable and beyond appreciated. Cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“Hannah is truly amazing! Her warmth and compassion could be felt from the second we started communicating. I can’t say enough about her and the great care she gave to our girl. She creates a welcoming, well-structured environment that caters to her clients needs. We feel so lucky to have found Hannah and would highly recommend her to anyone needing loving care for their dog.”
“Billy had a great two weeks with Kristina. This was Billy's first time boarding in his 9 years. He was adopted by my dad from a puppy mill rescue organization when he was 5 and then came to live with me 7 months ago when my dad died. Kristina is great with him and very patient and understanding with me. I received pictures daily which brought great comfort! Billy will definitely be visiting Kristina again.”
“Mocha had an awesome stay at Jiayi’s. She is well taken care of and had lots of fun hanging out with her other furry friends. Jiayi is very accommodating and she even replaced Mocha’s broken leash and took time to look for a similar one. Great sitter!”
“Carly was so great with Rayna! Constantly sending updates and pictures. I felt at ease being on the other side of the world and having my dog looked after by Carly :)”
“Brian did a fantastic job watching my dog, including giving medication 2x per day, and dealing with her anxiety being away from home. He was also flexible and accomodating when my travel plans unexpectedly fell through. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”
“Janette and Charlie were so thoughtful and caring in their communication regarding my dog. I appreciated their daily updates, pictures and even a video! We'll definitely use Janette and Charlie again!”
“Ella is outstanding! We've used her consistently over the past few years and always have the utmost confidence in her and know that Kona is receiving love and care that matches our own! I'd give her 10 stars if I could.”
“I highly recommend Olga for her pet sitting services. She took amazing care of our dog, Zoey. She played with her and took Zoey on a lot of walks (which she loves). Her communication was great- she sent daily video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind… Zoey looked like she was having the best time. We can’t wait to have Olga watch Zoey again!”
“Diana and her family are the absolute best!! Our pup has been at Diana's house during winter break for the past 3 years since he was a small puppy, and he gets so much love at her house. He even recognizes her house now and will pull me to her house when we arrive! I appreciate the pictures she sends and updates!”

“Jiayi was very kind and patient with my cat. She followed all the feeding instructions carefully and made sure everything was clean and tidy. My cat was calm and comfortable when I got back, which really gave me peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”
“Thank you again Isabela for taking care of Ali. I know she was well taken care of on your visits. I always look forward to the pictures and knowing everything thing is fine. I have total peace of mind knowing Ali is in good care.”
“Rosy was an absolute amazing sitter. Her notes were so well written and detailed and our cat absolutely was well taken care of and loved with Rosy. I would absolutely be using Rosy again and if you are looking for a someone to take care of your best furry friend, I would trust her 100%.”
“Amy did a great job checking on our two cats while we were out of town. She was very attentive to the cats needs and we could tell they got lots of affection and play time during Amy’s visits. We highly recommend and plan to book with Amy in the future.”
“Ella is terrific! She always arrived on the scheduled visit times and shared photos with us from her drop-in visits. This was our first time using Rover and the first weekend our new kittens have had a kitty sitter. Everything went great and we will definitely look for availability with Ella for future visits.”
About: I’m a real person who loves all animals and I’d say dogs happen to be number one in my book. I like to think I’m a dog whisperer, but nothing has been confirmed yet. I treat them just like a good friend. I love to get us both some exercise and have some fun while we’re at it! I’d love to help you out with any care needed for your loved ones. They deserve the best and I’d like to help provide peace of mind. I am open to all breeds and sizes. Cats are welcome, even other pets and insects you may have excluding one, those hissing roaches would have to be the only exclusion. Thanks for Your consideration. Happy dog care taker hunting :) I prefer to care for animals early morning before my other demands take over…but would love to get to know your pets and be flexible when needed. Well, at the moment, I only have plants that require my attention. I love animals of all sorts and would love to have some of my own, but I plan to travel and I know that getting one requires a lot of attention. Giving them up after a certain amount of time is not an option.
About: If my parents weren’t trying to dissuade me from my dog obsession as a kid, they had to make sure I wasn’t sneaking stray cats into the house. I’ve house sat for clients who also had cats alongside their canine siblings, with the same tedious care and affection given to them as well. I also have experience administering medication (insulin) to a diabetic cat and testing blood sugar!
About: Growing up I have always had 3 cats at home and have pet sitted for a little over 5 years! My clients have had a mix of dogs and cats so I have experience with both! I can do drop-in visits in the mornings and evenings to feed them, walk them, etc. But the time frame can vary depending on the pets needs and my work schedule I feed them, play with them, walk them, and change the litter boxes (cats). If any more care is required you can text me if needed!
“Leah took great care of our super senior kitty who is as high maintenance as she is affectionate. Leah gave her meds and snuggles shared photos of each visit and is one of our go-to sitters. Highly recommend!”
“Paige was kind, thoughtful and organized in caring for our cats. The cats were happy when we came back from our trip including our older cat who needs a few different food options.”
“Katie is awesome! It was my first time leaving my cat alone for the weekend, so I was very nervous but Katie was super attentive, took great care of him and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”

“We had a great experience with Lee and Niv. We started looking for a sitter only a day in advance and they were so quick to respond and welcome us. We would definitely use them again, next time we are visiting Chicagoland.”
About: I have had cats, dogs, and fish for the past 15 years. I have boarded, walked, and sat many animals including the ones listed above. I have also done feedings and administering medications. I always like to get detailed notes and a walk through of the care you need so the pets are well taken care of throughout my time with them. **Drop offs after 8am and Pick ups before 8pm. Extra fees may apply if this time does not work for you** I am currently open to any times and days. I am in school and am doing it completely online and asynchronous. I can work with you separately to figure out the best schedule. I am always wanting a walk through and detailed sheet of paper describing schedules and everything I need to know. I will also send frequent updates including pictures. I have administered medications before and ask to be shown how to administer so they don’t miss a day.
“Naomi & Johann took wonderful care of Javy. I made a last minute, same day request and they came thru. I knew immediately upon dropping Javy off that he would be in good hands. They introduced Javy to their dog, Milo, expertly and they were both affectionate with Javy right away. She sent photos and a video and I could tell Javy was very comfortable & happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Archie absolutely had the best time with Kazu and Akemi. Walks, backyard horseplay, playtime with another dog, a nap, so much attention. Makes my heart full knowing he was loved and taken care of for the day.”
“This is the first time we’ve had someone (who is not our family) watch our dog. I was very nervous especially be in Poppy is young - she’s just a year old. Noor watched Poppy for a day. Noor was so patient with her - poppy was initially apprehensive to go in their house, but Noor took her time to ensure Poppy was comfortable. Noor asked questions about feeding, walks, general behavior & preferences. this put me at ease knowing she was thinking these. We did this trial daycare in preparation for a longer stay for Poppy later this year. Noor was also very communicative with texts and also a video! We were happy with the care poppy received and plan to book with Noor again!”
“A last minute booking on my end and Nicole was a lifesaver! Swooping in to watch my fur baby and deliver such care, attention, love and adventure. I’m very lucky to have stumbled across such a good caretaker.”
“Very welcoming and very knowledgeable about elder dogs! Great energy which is so crucial when you leave your dog in a brand new place. Uma will be visiting many more times!”
“Katie took very good care of my two dogs while they were at her home. She gave them lots of attention and sent me pictures. They also enjoyed the love and attention from her children. They were relaxed and happy when I picked them up.”
“Ryan was amazing! He took such great care of Benny and treated him like his own dog. He kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Benny loved playing with Crosby and was totally pooped when I picked him up (he slept great - the sign of a fun filled day). Would definitely recommend Ryan!”
“If you need a reliable, flexible, and kind pet sitter, look no further than Rebeca. She took my pups on short notice and didn't blink an eye when I realized I had accidentally booked a 2-hour visit instead of 14 hours. She was happy to keep them the whole day, communicated proactively with fun updates and photos, and gave them access to a massive fenced-in yard that they absolutely loved. She made a stressful booking mistake completely stress-free. Thank you, Rebeca!”
“Kristina was great. Very kind and communicative—and generous with my dog who is on the nervous side. Sent lots of photos, which were fun to receive. Definitely will bring my dog again!”
“Claire is a standout. She communicates timely and effectively, is polite and professional, organized and most importantly she is incredible with dogs. Claire documented walks including duration, route and distance, and meals including time, amount of food eaten by each dog. Her feedback on my dogs' personality traits was spot on as well, demonstrating her care and attention. I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone in need of a trustworthy sitter. THANK YOU, CLAIRE!”
“Sandra and Sorin took great care of our two dogs! One of our dogs is more anxious and they did wonderful with him. They were both super happy at the end of their stay. Will definitely use them again!”
“Cynthia was welcoming, communicative, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. It was great to see the dogs playing together and enjoying her house and yard, so we'd absolutely have her dog sit for us again!”
“Julie was great! Her home is very dog friendly. She catered to Bitsy by letting her sleep on her lap. And, she sent adorable pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend!”

“Bill is a reliable dog walker. He was great with our dog, Bella. He was flexible when adding extra walks last minute. He is also very responsive. I highly recommend his services to others.”
“Karen was great. She took the time to meet Sadie and understand her needs. The two walks were just enough to satisfy Sadie and give me peace of mind that she was being well cared for. Thank you Karen!”
About: I give a lot of attention to dogs and can walk them on extra long walks if needed. For puppies, if they need to play with other dogs, I have my own senior dog (shihtzu-terrier mix) they can play with. I’m currently working part-time on nights so I can walk and feed your dogs as needed. I’m very flexible with your schedule and can be available when needed. I can offer the dog lots of attention, TLC, extra long walks, feeding, and/or any medicine needed to take orally. I also have a car and can pick up/drop off the dog when needed.
“Five stars and two paws up! Isa has an eye for detail, professional demeanor, and is easy to communicate with. She’s super responsible with my pup and I highly recommend her :-)”
“Shiva enjoyed a great walk with Lydia! Lydia is clearly an animal lover with great energy, and I appreciated how how she took the time to get to know Shiva and her needs as an older pup. I will definitely book again in the future!”
“Don’t book her because I want her to walk my dog every time !!! Haha no but she is great ? very pleased attentive responsible and caring. Ella is a lifesaver and is my go to. Thank you Ella! Hope to continue in the future :)”
“Stephen is great with our silly, high energy dog Roxy (doberman). We always feel comfortable she is in good hands under their care and she is always happy (based on the fun photo update we get). I would highly recommend their services”
About: I've had my own dog for 4 years, as well as taking care of my neighbors' senior dog while they are out of town. I am known for being responsible and I love being active so I'm always happy to go on long walks. I also run 3-6 miles every day and am happy to bring your dog along for some extra excercise. I'm looking to get a part time job over the summer, so I'll be free for at least a part of every day to hang out with your pets :) I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play! I also have several neighbors with friendly dogs always looking for new buddies to hang out with.
“Highly recommend booking Viviana as a dog walker. She did a great job with our two pups, especially our older dog who can be a little feisty. She is very responsive and even came to meet our dogs beforehand to make sure she could provide them the best care possible.”
“Donna and Stephen have truly been lifesavers over the past few weeks. They are incredibly timely and dependable, and they are always willing to help when they can. I also LOVE receiving multiple photos of my pup enjoying the walk so I know how happy he is to be out with them. Would strongly recommend this wonderful team to walk your furry friend!”
About: Although I am new to providing pet care to others, I have owned and cared for pets for most of my life. I have a new Bernedoodle puppy named Honey. I am also a single mom of two young boys and a full time special education teacher. I am currently a full time special education teacher and a single mom of two boys (currently ages 10 and 8). We have a new Bernedoodle puppy named Honey. I am available Monday through Friday between 3:30 and 8:30pm and Saturday and Sunday most of the day during the school year. Summers, winter breaks, and spring breaks allow me more flexibility durin the daytime hours. I have a large fenced-in back yard and lots of dog toys.

“This was our first time our 6 year old dog, Kona, stayed over at another dog sitter's home. Our dog is anxious and slow to warm up to people. Jeff and Ron were very warm, welcoming, and patient with Kona. We received regular updates and pictures. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. We will definitely contact Jeff and Ron in the future!”
“by far one of the best Rovers sitters we’ve had! She cared for our dog like she was their own and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay. We would definitely book again!”

“Walter just had his first experience with Nicole and it was wonderful. Nicole is present, kind and a fantastic dog sitter. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Everything went smoothly from our meet and greet to the drop off, pick up and everything in between. We appreciated the regular photo updates with Rocky and his girlfriends, and his adventures in Cynthia's backyard with the other day care dogs. She took good care to make sure he had regular access to his crate for his frequent naps and need to go outside to do his business. Thank you Cynthia for taking on our old fella, Rocky!”
“Gabriela welcomed Roxie in her home in a gentle way. Roxie is often skittish, even at home. She sent great pictures and a cute video. Her home is beautiful and the family is sweet. I felt comfortable leaving Roxie there. Gabriela lives close by us and I believe that Roxie would be happy to go back.”
“Claire was wonderful with Hazel (older dog) and Sam (older cat). This was the first time we used a pet care service and we were very fortunate to find Claire. She is thoughtful, kind, skilled with dogs and cats, and an excellent communicator. Hazel can be reactive to other dogs on walks; Claire was familiar with the ractive dogs and managed it with well. She also messaged us once a day while we were away with details and pictures. We have already booked with Claire again.”
“Mark and Lori did a great job hosting Charlie for his first visit in their home! It was clear that they "got him" right away and enjoyed his personality. We will definitely want to board with them again.”
“It was a great stay for Gwen! She stayed for a week and a half and I felt great about the care she was getting the whole time. Joerg was flexible and did a nice job communicating. Gwen and Lizzie just played and played - we arrived home and she is totally tired out! Tired puppies are the happiest. Thanks for a great experience! Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Rebeca was amazing with my dog Moose, who is a 75 pound American Bully! My dog stayed with Rebeca for 2 nights and 3 days and I cannot give her enough compliments. Not only did Rebeca have a huge yard for Moose to run around in, they were also extremely active for the entirety of the stay and Moose even got to play with some other dogs. Oh and the best part, Rebeca was sure to send me tons of pictures throughout his stay. Rebeca was a great dog sitter and I would easily recommend her to anyone looking.”
“Rico and his wife were such a great hosts for Wylie. We felt so good about leaving him in good hands. They played with him in their yard, walked him, and just overall took great care of him. He is excited for his next stay and we are definitely booking with Rico again.”
“Huactemo and the team watched Louie again this week, and as always, it was a great experience. Their reliability really stands out—every stay is consistent, smooth, and stress-free, which makes traveling so much easier for me. Louie was well cared for the entire time and got plenty of social interaction, which I really appreciate. It’s clear they make an effort to keep him engaged and comfortable, not just watched. I also received regular updates throughout the stay with notes on how Louie was doing and his behavior, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I came back to a happy, relaxed dog once again. I truly appreciate the consistency and care—highly recommend!”
“Michelle was a wonderful sitter! It seemed that my doggo had a great time with her and was super happy when he came back home. He had so much fun that he knocked out right away! I also really appreciate that Michelle kept me updated and sent me photos of him throughout the stay. I highly recommend her.”
“Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.”
