I’m so blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful environment and sitter for Olive!”
“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!”
About: I’m naturally very active, so if your dog loves long walks and plenty of playtime, they’ll have a great workout buddy with me. At the same time, I’m super patient and adaptable to whatever your pet needs. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals with different traits and can definitely meet your needs! Because I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, pet care easily fits right into my daily routine. I can structure my shifts around your dog's specific needs, I have plenty of open windows to make your pet a top priority throughout the week. Whether I’m hosting your dog or staying at your place, my goal is to keep their routine exactly how they like it. For active pups, that means plenty of long walks and fresh air to burn off energy, while puppies get consistent potty breaks and training support. If you have a senior dog, I focus on a quiet, stress-free environment and precise feeding schedules. I adapt completely to your pet's needs.

“Blue had the best time with Gabriela & her family! She was well taken care of and looked so happy in all of the videos Gabriela sent. Blue had tons of play time with Gabriela and her family, but also spent lots of time cuddling on the couch with them. Gabriela made my time on vacation so enjoyable knowing I didn't have to worry about how Blue was doing. I am so happy that Blue stayed with her and would 100% recommend! Will be using her again :)”
“I highly recommend Olga. She truly loves our dog. She gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with daily walks and even took him to the park to play and explore. She even insisted to home our dog for another night for free so we can have good rest coming from our vacation. She genuinely cares and we could tell our dog was happy and well taken care of. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”

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.
“Desiree did a fantastic job caring for our cats. She was attentive, followed our instructions meticulously, and eased our worries about being away from them for the first time. Her regular updates, including texts and photos, really reassured us. Thank you, Desiree! We’ll definitely be using your services again.”
“I am extremely happy with Isabela and her care of our two cats. We were away for close to two weeks and I was initially nervous about being gone that long. But, she took great care of them and sent daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend her and would be happy to use her again.”
“Curtis was so patient with my cat Ruby! I know she can get anxious when I'm not around and he was able to handle all of her big feelings. I definitely recommend Curtis especially if you have a cat who struggles being around new people.”
“Leah was great! It was wonderful to have someone who overthought feeding my boys and making sure they got their medicines. One of my boys is super shy and she took the time to find his hiding spots to check on him and even sat near by to lure him out. My other guy got lots of attention as well. Leah also went beyond cat sitting to water the plants, bring in the mail and brought in the trash cans from the curb.”
“Meggan is amazing! She takes such great care of our cat Salty! When we come home Salty is happy and you can tell she was well taken care of. I know when we travel I never have to worry because she does such a great job!!”

During each visit she sent multiple photos and made sure everything was taken care of. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommended!”
“Rosy was amazing with our pride of cats and she sent plenty of awesome pics and updates (and even brought in our packages)! She eased our minds during our first trip after saying bye to one of our beloved cats which went miles in ensuring we enjoyed our time.”
About: I’ve loved cats since I was a kids, mainly had outdoor but as soon as I could I adopted my baby from a shelter and we’ve been best friends since. I have also worked in a cat shelter before and know how to handle all the different personalities that kitties can have.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Northfield
“Naomi & Johann J. will always be our 1st choice to watch Javy whenever we need to leave him with anyone. They sent many photos and reassuring messages about Javy’s eating all of his food…he wouldn’t have eaten anything, had he been stressed about being there. Wonderful pup watchers!”
“Kazuhiro and Akemi were fantastic with Bailey as usual. They sent multiple updates and photos all throughout the day. Bailey is given a lot of attention and love. Highly recommend them anytime!”
“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.”
“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!”
“This house is the definition of love. My dog loves to be around this family and is such a humble experience to know that Uma is so happy to go and spend time with them. Space is super clean, yard is so big and they simply love animals. I came across angels and I’m very very grateful for them!”
“As a first-time dog daycare user, I was filled with worry, but Thea went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I'm confident that it was a wonderful experience for my dog, Chester, as well. It's hard to put into words how touching the experience was. I am so grateful to Thea, and I have no doubt about her love for dogs. As long as she's available, I will continue to entrust her with Chester.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Jackie saved the day, offering to sit for my dog CoCo when the other sitter failed to come through for me. She is kind, thoughtful, responsible, and communicative, and I love her Black Cat! I recommend her whole-heartedly. :)”
“It was Ari’s first time “out” since we adopted him 2 months ago, plus he is definitely a leash reactive dog. Do needles to say - I worried a lot. Diana was wonderful. Everything was great. She texted me and sent a video, she comforted Ari when he was missing me and I could see that he developed a trust. I am really grateful and would definitely use Diana’s services again.”
“We were very satisfied with our dog's stay with Karin and her family. She was very responsive to messages, flexible with times, and accommodating of our dog's needs. She sent plenty of photos and we could see that he was having fun and being well cared for. We would definitely book them again.”
“Whitney is the best. My Cami loved her, she responded to her like a second mom. Cami has allergies and needs a tons of love and attention. This is my second time using Rover and i was so happy with Whitney. She is attentive, makes sure my dog was comfortable and cami looked happy and well fed. Her poops were healthyand there were no adjustments needed returning home its like she was leaving one home to the other.”
“Carly takes wonderful care of our puppy Betty! She is attentive, communicative and we can tell Betty is comfortable there. Her dogs are also so friendly and fun for Betty to play with! We are excited to book again.”
About: I have taken care of service dogs for 2 years in college now as part of the service dog club. I have taken care of puppies and old dogs so you’re in good hands.

I have an open schedule and care for my pets very well. My dog even gets dental cleanings every year. My favorites get their nails cut and bathed weekly. I have multiple dog beds, a cat tower tons of toys for all different red animals. Have a fenced in backyard, grooming, station, and home. I have extra cages or tanks if need be.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbor’s, friend’s, and family’s dogs since I was in high school. I’ve watched after cats with varying temperaments and personalities as well as puppies, seniors, large, and small dogs of a variety of breeds. I love taking dogs on walks and having playtime with pets, and will be sure to give your pet the attention they need while you are away! I have a 5.5 year old terrier mix named Harriet that I’ve raised and trained since she was a puppy and she is my best friend. I will be sure to treat your pet how I would want my Harriet to be treated!
