“Heather and Israel were great - always responsive, let us know how things were going and our pup was adapting while we were gone for the weekend. Our flight was cancelled and they were so kind to watch our pup an extra night and be flexible with the pickup time. Our pup had so much fun and we will definitely use them again!”
“Teddy stayed with Phyllis and Greg for a little over one week this time and I was confident he was in good hands. They provided daily updates and spoiled Teddy as if he was their own dog. Teddy just loves them.”
“Linda has been so wonderful with my dog. She kept updating me and sending me pictures. She treated my dog as if her own. Peanut seemed to be well at home with Linda and Daisy. I couldn't expect better treatment. I would recommend her for anyone. Thanks Linda!!!”
“Christina took care of our 5 month old puppy, Mocha, and gave us the best updates while we were out of town :) We’re very grateful to have found a home where Mocha is taken care of and has another dog to play with! Definitely would recommend Christina to anyone we know.”
“Amy was incredible! She was very communicative and flexible with my up in the air plans. My dog was right at home in her house, and she let her sit and lay where she felt most comfortable. I know my puppy was loved and had a lot of fun during her stay. Great yard for active dogs who like to be outside.”
“Izzy was wonderful! I was very nervous about leaving Gerdoo with someone I didn’t know because she is so attached to me. Izzy was very understanding and made me feel comfortable. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay, and seeing Gerdoo lying next to another dog was so heartwarming. I would definitely trust Izzy with her again.”
“100% positive experience. Wayne provided morning updates, photos, and had a nice home for my dog to get lots of playtime. It was very easy to book and communicate with Wayne. I highly recommend having him watch your dog as I would gladly book with him again.”
“We decided on a last minute trip and Ingrida was kind enough to watch our girl for 4 days. She was very responsive and all our questions were answered. Anytime we text she responded immediately. Our Lulu was freshly washed and brushed and looked very happy at pickup. Would book again!”
“Barbara was amazing! She kept me updated daily and sent a lot of pictures. My dog was so happy and well taken care of. I look forward to working with Barbara again!”
“Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!”
“Suzy was amazing with our puppy. She communicated with us throughout the stay and shared pictures. Her doodle is adorable and great with other dogs. Her family also interacted with our puppy and shared lots of love. Suzy has her house set up for dogs and a fenced outdoor space. She took our puppy out hourly and that helped with potty training. We highly recommend Suzy and will definitely be using her in the future! Amazing pet care!”
“Laina and Bill did a wonderful job watching our dog for the weekend. From the moment we had the in-home meet & greet, our dog seemed so comfortable in a “make himself at home” sort of way. We re dived many photo updates along the way, which were very appreciated. Even other “good” sitters in the past did not keep the steady stream of updates coming. There wasn’t even a moment of worry or eondering how he’s doing. I would definitely put them at the top of our list for for future boardings.”
“I have never felt more at ease leaving my baby bentley in someone else's care. Kim went above and beyond to make sure my pet happy and safe while I was away. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures that were sent to me, it really made me feel connected to my pet even though I was far away. I will definitely be using their services again in the future and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter." Thank you so much kim”
“Susseth took our last minute booking. She was very kind to our spoiled boy and provided pictures and videos throughout his stay with her. She was on time for an early pick up. We are always nervous boarding our little guy because he came back with a broken foot after being boarded before. He looked happy and healthy on his return. We would recommend susseth for anyone looking to board their pet.”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“Ashley was so wonderful with our dog, Mocha, and was extremely thorough with everything. This was the first time our puppy stayed overnight somewhere, and we felt so comfortable having Mocha stay with her & her family 😊”
“Traci was so accommodating for our pup and he loved his stay! She sent us so many pictures and videos that we were never left wondering what he was up to. We will definitely be reaching out to Traci for any future pupsitting needs :)”
“OUTSTANDING! Tootie had a wonderful time! Kathy sent pictures with funny comments. That should me Tootie was having a great time. That's important to me. Kathy was very thorough with the detailed care instructions. She asked questions for clarity. If you are in the Chicago area, please choose Kathy.”
“Mercedes and her family were the best caregivers I could have asked for! I had to leave my 9 week old puppy for 6 days and I felt so comfortable with the level of care she was provided. I got multiple daily updates and photos of my little Luna playing with Mercedes, her cute pup, and her children. They had all the toys, bedding, and comforts my puppy needed. I loved it and it made me feel very confident with my decision in booking, I was worried she would want to stay there forever. :-) Mercedes and her family were very kind, sweet, genuine people and I’m so grateful for them! I will 100% be booking with Mercedes again. Thank you!”

“Caraline is amazing, we were so happy with how she took care of my two cats and are so excited to have her watch them again later this month. She is so patient, always sends photos and updates, follows every care instruction and brings so much peace of mind while traveling or being anxiously away from your pets. Her calm energy and love for animals has even made my extremely timid cat open up and initiate contact and play with her. She left areas cleaner than they were found and was eager to help outside of what was initially asked, including cleaning up cat litter/waste my cats dragged outside of their litter boxes without asking. I definitely recommend her and will be using her as a regular cat sitter!”
“Margaret is the best the sitter I've come across on this app. So attentive and keeps me updated. Such a peace of mind to have someone like her watching my babies. 100% recommend.”
“I would love to say that Ethel is the only sitter I have tried, and I am honestly never going to try another person. My cat is always well taken care of when I am gone. Ethel communicated with me everyday and always has. Thank you!”
“Stephanie is fantastic. She went above and beyond for our cats, especially since one requires medicine twice a day and had been jumping from too high. She took care of a few small things around the house when a short heat wave came through and we learned that our feeder was empty. Our cats really took to her, which is meaningful for our shy guy.”
“Amanda took excellent care of our two cats! She kept us up to date with pictures and details during each visit. It’s such a relief to not have to worry about our pets while we’re away. We will definitely be booking Amanda for all our future trips!”
“Sam was so great! It was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous, but Sam was wonderful. She came for a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit, and our very nervous cat took to her immediately! Her updates and photos were great to have as well, and Sam even did some extra work like bringing in our mail, cleaning litter boxes, and even sweeping! Would definitely rebook with Sam.”
“Olivia was great to work with! She was very responsive and she provided excellent care for my three cats during my last-minute weekend trip. My cats were well-fed, happy, and received plenty of playtime. I highly recommend Olivia’s services to any cat owner!”

I would definitely recommend Anna if you are looking for a reliable and experienced pet sitter!”
“Rebecca did a great job taking care of my cat Lily! My cat is notoriously grumpy, but Rebecca was really patient with her and brought her out of her shell. I loved the regular updates and photos!

I will absolutely be a returning customer!”

“Phyllis and Greg, are wonderful dog sitters! They have a lot of experience with dogs and a beautiful park right out front of their house that the dogs walk in. Sugar loved it there and was so happy to see them at her first return visit.”
“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.”
“Lauren was amazing! She was incredibly accommodating and so welcoming and clearly an attentive and dedicated sitter. We received nice report cards letting us know what a good time our dogs had and pictures too! We will definitely be returning!”
“I can’t thank enough Neelank and his wife to take so much good care of Snoopy on Thanksgiving. Snoopy was spoiled all day, had a blast outside and indoor with their 2 dogs Porter & Oliver. Neelank and his wife were very flexible for the drop-off/pick-up time at their place. They have sent me a lot of pictures from Snoopy playing and having such a good time. I definitely recommend them as a 5 stars daycare. Thank you so much for caring for Snoopy like he was your own dog !”

“Jill and Nick have a very nice home. They were gracious to accommodate my last minute booking. Chago enjoyed his stay and we highly recommend them. Will use again when in the area.”
“Our dog loved her time with Ashley. She felt 100% at home which was very important to me. I tried a pet store doggy day care previously and it was overwhelming to my dog, she was not happy when I picked her up. When I picked her up from Ashley she was so happy and I could tell she had a great day. Ashley sent pictures. was very responsive, and she was very accommodating. I will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
“Michelle was great!! I feel so lucky to have found her on the site!! She went above and beyond, sending me pictures and updates throughout the day. Also, she was willing and patient to work with my dog even though she is still a puppy. I truly felt relieved to know she was in Michelle's hands! I will definitely be using her services again.”
“I got my buddy last June 20th and out of the blue I got a trip out of the state for three days...so hard to decide whom could be the one to provide good care of a vizsla that not even you know enough...well, Mr Ken did that and even went beyond that! My hyper dog was incredible happy with him and even learned some orders that didn't knew before. He sent to me pics and videos while I was out and even gave " Pavarotti " his favorite toy during staying with him. So highly recommend! I do take care of human beings in the oncology and renal unit of Aurora Condell Hospital in Libertyville and believe is easy for me to recognize expertise in a care giver. Ken is a Pro! Ah! This guy is bilingual with Spanish as a second language!”
“Ingrid is my go-to dog sitter. My puppy has been going to Ingrid’s home since she was 3 months old and Fiona couldn’t be happier every time she sees Ingrid and her family members. Ingrid is so responsive, kind, and accommodating. Not once has one of my last minute denied nor am I ever worried about Fiona when she is with Ingrid. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

Melissa went above and beyond to make sure Harley was loved, nurtured, and of course spoiled! He is used to living comfortably and with a big yard to roam and lots of attention I know he felt right at home. Melissa sent daily notes letting me know he was well. When he had a bit of a tummy problem she called and we were able to get medicine from vet to help. What an amazing experience. I was able to be away for a month knowing he was exceptionally well taken care of. I will only go to Melissa if needed again! Thank you Melissa for taking such good care of my boy Harley. You are amazing!”
