“Luciana is an absolutely amazing sitter! My pup stayed with her for three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She and her whole family treated my dog like one of their own, giving her so much love, care, and attention every single day. I truly appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for while I was away. I would trust Luciana with my dog again without hesitation. I highly, highly recommend Luciana to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. She is simply the best!”
“Ewa was an amazing sitter for my Basenji, he enjoyed his time very much while staying with her. I really liked the setup that enabled my dog to go in and out on his own when he needed to and she showered him with love and attention the entire stay. I will be contacting Ewa in the future.”
“Cindy, thank you for taking such amazing care of Bruno. It truly feels like he’s with another family when he’s with you. We really appreciate all the love, walks, and care you give him.. You are amazing ❤️”
“Yamile and her family and her pets have just been amazing. Yamile is Extremely responsive, followed a special diet, took her for walks , gave me frequent updates and generally took great care of my little girl while we were away!!!

“Our Tucker had a great time at Leigh and Richards. They always take good care of him and keep us updated on how he is doing, as well as sending pics. I would absolutely highly recommend them!!”
“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”

“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“D’Artagnan did an amazing job with Groot! Our dog tends to get anxious when we're away and was unable to keep his food down the first day.

We felt so relieved knowing Groot was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend D’Artagnan for anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter!”

She also went above and beyond to make sure we had stress free return from our vacation; our flight was significantly delayed due to the severe weather and we were not able to pick up our dogs on time. Eileen assured us this was no problem at all. I highly recommend Eileen!”
“Kent was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Chloe. Chloe is a difficult case because she can’t be alone because of her separation anxiety she can’t be with other dogs because of her reactivity. This makes her somewhat high maintenance. Kent was able to handle and he loved taking care of her! I’ll be back to ask Kent again to take of Chloe for the upcoming holidays. Kent is very communicative and and just an overall sweet, wonderful, caring and competent person.”
“Rizwan, Noor in the whole family were great! Mason was loved and taken care of very well. In the daily pictures and updates made our days! We will definitely use them again for future travels.”

“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept.

Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.”
“Charlotte took great care of my two cats while I was away. My cat who is really shy absolutely loved her! We got the cutest photos and written updates every day which made me feel so happy knowing they were in great hands. Charlotte is very kind and quick to respond! I definitely recommend!!”
“Gabrielle was wonderful. We have two cats and they’re not the ‘usual’ and come with a few higher demands. While it might be a work in progress… as we’d expect… it all seemed to go smoothly with one warming up nicely. The other has to ‘think about it’ for a while LOL. She kept the house (she house + cat sit), cats and peripherals in order with no complaints at all. She was here quite a lot with the cats so we absolutely appreciate that. Already have her signed up for another venture!”
“We rebooked Jeanne to watch our cats for one night and she was wonderful as expected! She followed all of our instructions, sent lots of pictures, arrived on time, and gave the kitties lots of attention. Thanks again Jeanne! :)”
“Tina was amazing and went the extra mile for my fur-babies! She even took pictures and shared them with us after each visit. I could tell how much they liked her and enjoyed the visits while we were away. We will definitely use Tina again!”
About: I have had my pet cat since I was 1 year old! She now comes with me to my apartment at college and is my emotional support:) I have helped care for my families other cats along with cats at a kennel attendant job for an animal hospital I worked at for 3 months!
“This is the second time I booked Elizabeth to take care of our cats. She is extremely thorough in her notes, takes several photos, and is extremely kind and dependable. She also goes above and beyond to make sure packages are taken in, etc without me even asking! I can’t recommend her enough! I look forward to rebooking with her again next time I travel!!”

“She is an incredible professional. Her energy, knowledge, and passion for training dogs really stand out. She doesn't just work with the dogs—she also teaches owners how to better understand and train them. Scöll always comes home happy, relaxed, and excited after spending time with her, which says a lot about the care and dedication she puts into her work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding dog trainer.”

They all were very welcoming and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Christina and hope we will be back periodically for more visits.”

“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.”
“Rhondarose is my “not so secret weapon” in navigating my day to day! She is flexible, responsible, caring, and an absolute gem. Clover loves being there with her and the pups, and it warms my heart to know that she is very well taken care of.”

About: With a lifetime of caring for pets, I bring a strong understanding of animal behavior, routine management, and hands-on care. My experience includes administering basic medications, supporting senior pets, maintaining consistent feeding and exercise schedules, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for animals of all personalities. I’m confident, calm, and attentive—skills shaped by years of living with and caring for pets every day. We have a large, pet-friendly yard and home where there is always someone home to provide love, care for, play with, and entertain your pets. I have a large pet friendly fenced in yard for dogs to run and play supervised along our two friendly dogs. I also offer a comfortable environment for your pet to rest as needed.
“This was our first time leaving our pup with Bob and Roger seemed so at home from the very beginning. I loved getting pictures and videos at various points during the day and felt confident Roger was in safe hands. We will be using Bob again soon for a week of boarding and I trust it will go as well as yesterday’s daycare!”

About: I love animals. I have loved, played with, nursed, and fed any kind of dog you an imagine. Im also comfortable around cats considering they tend be independent and communicative in their own way. I genuinely enjoy the process of training and nurturing animals.

I believe patience , affection, and repetition are the recipe to connecting with our all of our furry friends. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional questions.

It allows your buddy to get some fresh air in between walks and be secure
About: Lifelong animal lover with 20+ years caring for my own pets. Experienced in daily walks, feeding, grooms, administrating meds and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I am currently not employed, allowing me to dedicate my full time, energy, and attention to each pet. Your pet’s safety is my top priority.

“Michael was prompt and professional; yet a very friendly, warm and welcoming person. Daisy took to him immediately. I appreciated the photos. And, from the photos, I could tell that Daisy was well cared for and loved. Thank you, Mike, for your loving care of Daisy.”
“Daphne had a fabulous time with Svitlana! I was somewhat of a nervous wreck since my dog was attacked a few months ago by another dog and Svitlana was attentive to our needs and made sure Daphne still had a great time! HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Erena is very friendly and personable with dogs. She was able to make our dog Leia feel comfortable in her surroundings and provided timely communication/updates. Overall, Leia had a great stay. We would highly recommend Erena.”
About: I love taking care of dogs. I have my own dog who is very friendly and loves to play but also loves to be lazy. I've watched dogs for friends and family members for years and always enjoy it so I decided to open my home to more frequent furry guests. All dogs are treated like my own and get lots of love and attention (or space, if that's what they prefer). I'm happy to administer medications or accommodate individual needs. Working from home full-time enables me to closely supervise furry guests and allow for plenty of time to tend to their needs and provide lots of outside time by opening and closing the door multiple times a day (haha). I have a fenced-in yard and large deck for doggy sunbathing. My dog loves having canine guests and doesn't mind sharing me, his bed, toys, or food. I also have a teenage daughter who absolutely loves having more dogs around. I have lots of extra blankets and allow dogs on the furniture and beds. Everything is washed regularly. Paws are always wiped on muddy yard days. If your dog prefers sleeping in a crate or having a crate for alone time, that is perfectly fine, too.

“Karina was delightful to meet and she did a great job with our two dogs. She went the extra mile for us by doing it all on a short notice. We really appreciated her being available to lend a walking foot so we could go to Chicago for the day.”
“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”
About: I have grown up with many animals, including exotic animals. We have a grooming station in home and love animals of all types and breeds. I haven’t accept exotic animals as well. I have owned horses, mini pigs inside my house, sugar, gliders, chinchillas, hamsters, lizards, cat, dogs, ferrets, I’m probably forgetting a few more. 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. I prefer not to kettle animals unless they need to be under the owners agreement.
“Hannah was soooo wonderful with our senior dog. She took many pictures and communicated with us the entire time we were away which made us feel very at ease. She even brought a gift bag of treats for him and asked many questions regarding his needs! I would definitely recommend her for any care taking needs and would love to rebook her the next time we are away.”
“Sarah has been to our house for a meet and greet and a walk with my two dogs. She has been great with communication prior to and following both appointments. She also had a wonderful way with my polar opposite personality dogs. She gave my people-timid boy the space he needed to feel comfortable and trusting while engaging yet supporting the appropriate boundaries I need to practice with my overly exuberant girl. I'm looking forward to Sarah spending more time at my house caring for my sweet best pals.”

About: Hi, I’m Karina! My fiancé and I moved to Wheeling last year and I wanted to get more involved in the local community while spending time with animals. I have 5+ years of hands-on experience working in an animal hospital, along with 15+ years of caring for my own pets. Working in an animal hospital gave me real experience handling different temperaments, reading behavior, and making sure animals feel safe even in unfamiliar situations. At home, I’ve cared for my own pets for years, so I understand how important routines, attention, and consistency are. When your pet is with me, you can expect: - Regular updates and photos - Care that follows your pet’s routine closely - A calm, patient, and attentive environment - Reliable and clear communication I take pride in being dependable and making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable every step of the way. I integrate pet care into my routine by managing my time responsibly. I have enough flexibility to give pets proper attention, playtime, and companionship without rushing or overbooking. I follow instructions closely, monitor behavior and comfort, and maintain clean, safe spaces at all times. I pay attention to routines, energy levels, and subtle changes that may signal stress or discomfort. I take care to respect each pet’s needs and the expectations of their owner, and I treat every home responsibly and professionally.
About: Since I was 11, my neighbors have trusted me to feed and walk their dogs + cats. I have handled very large dogs but also small dogs without struggle, with a wide range of ages from puppies to seniors. I have worked with multiple special needs animals and can administer any kind of medicine. I am a student so I have summer off right now, but start school august 25th. Most important holidays I will be gone out of town for. I am in a boating family, so most weekends we try to get out onto the lake during the summer!! Mostly only free during summer and Christmas break, I try to keep my calendar up to date but feel free to always reach out! I have a fenced in yard with enough space for your pups to run around and play. My neighborhood is a very safe and quiet area. I pay close attention to the pup and will follow your care directions exactly how you would like!
About: I am a person that loves all animals. Some pet parents will leave a small list of the schedule I need to follow. Whenever I come to hang with the cuties I’m always snapping pics and sending them to the pet parents. Just so everyone knows they are in good hands. Whatever it is that y’all need me to do I make sure to get the job done. Sometimes when I babysit if the parents need me to let the dogs out and feed them then I do it. So cats/dogs will get fed and taken out, we will play ball and have a load of fun. I promise I don’t bite and am very easy to talk to. If anyone ever has any questions feel free to ask!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and know how much love and responsibility they need. Back in middle school, I started my own dog walking business and cared for everything from big Bernese Mountain Dogs to little Shih Tzus. I’m patient, reliable, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just giving them some extra attention. Right now I’m job hunting, so I’m free Monday through Thursday any time of the day. Once I do start working, I’ll still be available most evenings when needed! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting them at yours, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I follow their regular routines for feeding, walks, or playtime, and I give them plenty of attention and affection. I keep their space clean and comfortable—whether it’s making sure dogs get bathroom breaks or keeping litter boxes tidy for cats. I also send updates or photos so owners know their pets are doing well. Every pet gets the care they need based on their personality and routine, and I treat them like they’re my own!
About: Hi! I’m Angelina, and I’ve spent the past 8 years caring for cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra care, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique routine, background, and quirks. I have extensive experience with pets who have special health needs. I’m comfortable administering injections, pills, liquid medications, and topical treatments, and I always follow owner instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I’ve attended dog training classes with my own pups and have even taken clients’ dogs to training school, so I’m familiar with reinforcing cues, managing leash manners, and helping pups stay consistent with the skills you’re working on. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-ins, or in-home care, I’m committed to making your dog or cat feel secure and loved. I’ve cared for pets in their homes for both short weekends and long extended stays, and I bring plenty of experience and references from families throughout Lake and Cook County. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is the bond that forms over time. I love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy — and nothing makes me smile more than when a pet recognizes me and gets excited the next time I visit. I’d love to meet your furry family member and learn how I can support their routine. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Pet care already fits naturally into my daily life. I care for my two cats every day, so feeding schedules, playtime, and keeping up with routines are already part of my normal rhythm. I build my weekly schedule around client visits and walks, making sure I leave enough time for each pet to get the attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and able to fit dog and cat care smoothly into my routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so prioritizing their care feels like a natural and meaningful part of my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making them feel comfortable in their own environment. I follow their usual routine—feeding, walks or playtime, litter scooping, and any medications—so everything stays familiar and stress-free. I keep their space clean, offer plenty of gentle attention, and adjust to each pet’s personality and comfort level. I also send photo updates so owners can see their pets relaxed and happy at home.

We felt so relieved knowing Groot was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend D’Artagnan for anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter!”

I have recently retired and looking to fill some of my time with helping take care of your pets. Whether it be checking in on them or watching them while you’re out of town. I have a single-family home with a good size backyard and a pet friendly home. Plenty of room to care for your pets and keep them safe.
“Kaylee was super great!! Edy loved staying there and got tons of energy and excitement out too! We got tons of pictures from her overnight and lots of updates. Our dog came home super happy and tired!”
“Thao was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our pups and I was very nervous for both the sitter and our fur babies but Thao did an amazing job communicating with us and reassuring that our pups were safe with her. Ultimately, she provided a peace of mind that my family and I needed. Booking with Thao was worth it in every way possible! Thanks again Thao!”
“Our Nellie had a great time with Stephanie. She had so much fun playing with Leon. It was her first time with a sitter, but Stephanie was great keeping her routine and sending us updates and pictures, which made us feel so much better while vacationing. Highly recommended!”
“Kyle did an amazing job with Merlin! He watched him for about a week during our family’s move, and with her to send pictures and videos to keep us updated while we missed him. Great communication! We highly recommend Kyle”
“Melissa was truly the best! So communicative and thoughtful sending the sweetest daily photos and updates that made us smile every time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were safe, happy, and so well loved in her care. We’re beyond grateful and would book Melissa again in a heartbeat!”
“This is the second time that Amanda and her daughter watched Abby. They are wonderful with Abby and she is comfortable and happy with her staycation at Amanda’s. I would highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
“Marija is a fantastic dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, Bear, while I was away. I loved receiving photos of him enjoying his walks, playing in her secure fenced yard, and making a new best friend with her dog. Bear came home happy and healthy—I will definitely be using Marija again!”
“Toby seemed like he had such wonderful time! Thank you so much Mary! She sent pics and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Mary was easy to communicate with and took great care of our pup while we were away. We are so grateful!!”
“First time experience with Michelle and a good one overall! Great communication and upfront about the experience. Appreciate Michelle’s willingness to give some extra support to our pup who took some warming up to boarding. Would definitely consider for future boarding.”
“Thea is the best dog sitter I have ever encountered. She is loving, caring, patient, flexible and with lots of experiences with dogs. She provided us plenty of updates, photos, and suggestions to improve my handling with dog. She is truly appreciated and we will definitely book her again.”
