“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“Rob, is a great sitter. I just got a new position and would have to rehome my Nova. He said no she is not going to a shelter she can stay as long as you need her too. The reviews I have seen are very upsetting because when my flight was late, he said Nova was sleeping and just come her the next day without an extra charge. My Nova had her buddy Delta that he send pictures of once or twice a week. Rob does a good job of care, love and support.”
“Angel was great. We spent about 11 days in Europe and she took great care of Mayla. Mayla has separation anxiety so we were happy to find a sitter who has dogs at home and regularly sits other doggies. We 100% recommend Angel.”
“Our pup had the best time with Kimberly! She went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable while we were out of town. She is an excellent communicator and kept in touch with us to let us know how our dog was doing. We really appreciated it! Thanks, again!”
“Mike and Joanna were absolutely amazing! I needed last-minute care for my dog, and they responded almost instantly. From the start, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. It was clear that my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. What really surprised me was that they even sent my dog home with free gifts — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture, especially for such a short stay! I can’t recommend Mike and Joanna enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you both for going above and beyond!”
“I was really nervous leaving my dog with a sitter however after meeting Vicky I was ok leaving my dog with her. Vicky has a calming soul, which you will notice if you ever meet her. I knew my dog was in good hands. Pictures and videos were sent to me regularly which was much appreciated.”
“Bear was so well taken care of with Maria! She sends pictures and videos everyday and accommodates all his special needs. I even last minute had to extend my boarding and she was able to do so with no issue. I know Bear is in good hands whenever he’s with Maria!”
“Robert did great! Even though Logan was there for a shorter stay, I got plenty of pics and Logan looked happy/comfortable in all of them! I picked him up this morning and he's exhausted so I'm sure he had a good time”
“Tanqueray was phenomenal with my sweet but anxious older little guy. She took his unique needs into consideration as she thoughtfully planned his stay. He was comfortable and happy, which I knew because he doesn’t usually go up to sitters to say bye when I pick him up. But he did this with her. He made new doggy friends on his walks (which he’s also not always up to) and he and Sir, a sweet little guy, got along wonderfully. I’m grateful for Tanqueray and the loving care she took of my pup.”
“Shirley has taken care of Ripley several times, and she has formed a genuine relationship with our little boy. The photos she sends every day as well as her comments show that Ripley enjoys staying with her. We have full trust and confidence in Shirley as the best person for Ripley when we are out of town. She cares for him and his well-being, physically and emotionally. Thank you, Shirley! Dagmar and Mohsin”
“Julia is an amazing sitter with a lot of experience. She took great care of Rupert and updated us regularly. She also paid attention to a mild injury he had above his eye. Would definitely recommend!”
“They were easy to communicate with and Bowie seemed to be having fun! They sent me pictures daily and were responsive. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them and would use them again.”
“We cannot thank Doug and Deb enough for taking such amazing care of Nina while we were away! They were incredibly attentive, making sure all of her special meals were prepared perfectly and understanding that this was her first time staying away from home. They kept us updated with photos and were always quick to respond to any messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Nina seemed so comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Doug and Deb truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for their kindness and dedication. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!”
“Jenny absolutely blew away our expectations as a dog sitter. She took my dog, Ginger, on long walks everyday at the park near her place, and even took the cutest pictures of him sleeping and playing every day. When Ginger wasn’t eating much, she went out of her way to get his favorite dog food to mix with his kibble. Jenny provided consistent updates throughout my vacation, so I did not worry at all about him at all. I’m definitely saving Jenny as a point of contact for any future trips. I would highly recommend her to anyone based on her experience with dogs and how well she has taken care of mine.”
“Cheryl was fantastic with our dog, Patches. We were worried because we haven't had success with other sitters in the past, but Patches seemed to have enjoyed his stay. We will definitely consider Rover.com and Cheryl for our future dog-sitter needs.”
“I can’t express how WONDERFUL our dogs stay was with Peter. We received constant updates and our sweet Cocoa was treated exactly as a family member (truly!). We were so happy knowing our pup was with such loving and caring people. We will absolutely be staying with them again!”
“I cannot rave enough about how wonderful Jonelle and her family are! They took such great care of my dog Topo! Topo is an anxious dog but shortly after being dropped off at Jonelle’s house, she was comfortable, playing fetch, and enjoying the company of her family and two pups! She was always sending me updates and photos which help me feel relieved all weekend. I truly would recommend Jonelle’s care if you want your pup to feel at home and be loved like family. Thank you so much Jonelle and family I know Topo had a blast!”
“Gabriela & Richard took awesome care of my Tyson, I feel lucky to have found people who took such great care of my pup! Every picture or video they shared showed him as being completely comfortable and happy. I would highly recommend them!”

“What can we say, Ms. Kelly is the best. Attentive, thorough and very very caring about our kitties. We cannot recommend her highly enough. 5-star service every time we’ve booked with her.”
“I would highly recommend April! She took care of my cat for a week at my place while I was out of town. My cat Howie immediately liked her (like, leaped out of his tree to run and greet her) and I knew he was in good hands. I especially appreciated how flexible she was when my apartment building threw several curve balls at her. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve often been told I’m a bit of a “dog whisperer” because pups seem to gravitate toward me, and I think it’s because they can sense my genuine love for animals. I’ve been a dog lover since childhood, growing up with 4 family dogs, and that passion has only grown over the years. I recently cared for my own senior pomeranian, who lived to 18, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention that senior pups need. On the other end of the spectrum, I know the energy and consistency it takes to care for playful puppies. Right now, I share my home with two spoiled rescue dogs, Chico (chihuahua) and Squeaks (tripod Pomeranian) who remind me daily how much joy and comfort pets bring into our lives and family. I have taught my dogs how to sit, stay, down, shake, come, and spin. So maybe I can even teach your dog some new tricks :) I also know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member at home. My goal is to be their bright spot while you’re away, whether that’s a walk, a potty break, or simply some kisses, belly rubs, and companionship. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to fit in drop-ins, potty breaks, quick walks (10-15) min, kisses and belly rubs during the day while you are away! Right now I only offer drop-ins, potty breaks, and quick walks for your furry babies. I do not offer any home services at my personal residence. If any service is requested outside of the normal services offered, I would be happy to help and discuss prior to my drop-in visit.
“This is the second time I’ve used Rhianna to take care of my two cats. They are very shy, but she got both of them out of their shells and they were looking forward to seeing her in no time. She took great care of my babies and I would use her services again!!”
“Kind, patient & professional, Coleen went above and beyond to care for our cats. She was very communicative, provided detailed updates, and left our home in great shape. We would recommend Coleen and rely on her to look after our cats again.”
“Maria was absolutely AMAZING with our fur babies!!! She was so detailed and loving with their care. She even was able to accommodate a last minute change in schedule. She’s been the best and our babies LOVE her!!! We have found a permanent caregiver in Maria!!!”
“Yulissa took care of my cat, Floyd, for a day (2 visits). She followed the instructions I provided her for his food and medicine. She sent photo updates along with a message for each visit. I had also gotten a package earlier than expected and she kindly brought it inside my house. She did communicate when she was going to be running a little late, which I appreciated.”
“Arianna watched my cat for a week while I was out of town and everything went great! I was new to the app and she helped answer some of my questions and worked with me to book the appropriate service at a very reasonable fee. My cat seemed to really like her, and I enjoyed seeing the pictures and comments in the visit reports. Someone also sent me a giant package while I was gone and Arianna went above and beyond by dragging it into my front entrance without being asked. Highly recommend!”
About: My husband and I have always been dog people. Growing up he had two labradors and I had a beagle. When we bought our house we adopted a senior lab. We spoiled him as much as we could and loved him unconditionally. After losing Ceasar two years ago, we walked into an animal shelter and that's where our baby, Uru-Kai, stole our hearts. I don't work on weekends, I have holidays off and the summer off. I already have a dog so I know how important it is to stick to a routine. Our current dog goes out on four walks a day. If he needs to go potty because he drank too much water we let him in the back yard. If he seems bored he rings the doorbell to be let in the backyard. When we need to leave the house our dog is put in his crate to ensure that he's safe and stays out of trouble while we're gone.
“Joshua was excellent to work with! He sent picture updates every day and even brought his own laser pointer to play with the cats. We were so glad to leave Skamp and Oats in such good care. He also came and did a pre-visit with us to meet the kittens first. I am a bit of a helicopter first time cat mom and Joshua far exceeded my expectations and followed our somewhat over the top instructions with ease! Re: new automated litter box. :)”
“Megan was so communicative and lovely with our 2 cats! She handled medication no problem, and even stayed longer the first visit to ensure that the cat who needed medication would be comfortable enough with her to take his meds no problem. We're so grateful for the good care Megan took and will absolutely rebook with her in the future.”
“Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!”

“Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine. She's truly amazing and makes sure your dogs are treated as part of her family. Her family is just as great about letting your dog have space and build up comfort to bond with them. If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.”
“Robert was very welcoming, patient, and helpful for both me and my dog, Maya, as this was our first booking ever! He took his time to let her get comfortable and introduce her with the other pups he had in house. Allowed me to be just as comfortable leaving her for the day! Came back to pick up one happy and VERY tuckered out pup! Loved the pictures! Looked like we both had a great experience booking with Robert!🐶 We will be scheduling again soon!”
About: Hi, my name is Rick. I would like to start by saying my schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired from the Office of the Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County. My family and I have a home that has plenty of space to accommodate your pet. We have an 11-year-old son and also have three small dogs of our own that are extremely friendly, playful, up-to-date with all of their shots, and in great health. I believe pets complete a home. I am extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the care and needs of all types of animals. My experience in Pet Care began from having my own pets and caring for the ones of family and friends over a span of 40 plus years. I have also fostered a few dogs over the years. I have a substantial amount of experience with cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, hamsters, turtles, fish and so many others. My goal is to ensure your comfort and confidence, knowing that your pet will be loved and cared for as if it were our own. Should your pet require any medical attention or medication I am completely capable of providing this service, while in my care. We hope you consider us. I look forward to providing a caring, efficient service for your pets. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired. For the exception of dropping off and picking up my son from school I am home all day to provide attention and care for your pet. I have a large yard with a privacy fence and three friendly, small dogs to keep your pup company. If preferred, I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: As a previous dog owner of 2, I know the attention, affection and care that is required and expected. There isn't a time a can recall without a dog being part of my life. I have cared for dogs of all types, sizes and ages. In addition, I have experience in medical distribution. Know that your dog will receive exceptional love and attention from me as if they were my own. My home is open to your pet whether I'm away at work or working from home during week and weekends. Opened to work with your pets needs. I have a high-fenced yard. There are no young children nor any other pets in the home, therefore your dog will have the ability to roam freely throughout the house and yard.
“My dog Coco had a wonderful time with Emily and Amy and their dog, Pepperoni 🌶. I would certainly recommend Emily to anyone needing doggy day care. And I will certainly bring Coco again.”
“Our pup loves going to Erica and Ricardo’s for daycare. She’s an anxious girl, but she gets so excited when we pull up and runs into the house as soon as we get there. She gets lots of playtime and love, and we get cute pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them!”
“We appreciate how Sasha took such good care of our senior dog. He enjoyed meeting her dog and napping in her comfortable home. She responded quickly to our initial request, communicated clearly along the way, and sent several cute photos. I definitely recommend Sasha!”
“Kimberly was the best! She was very responsive, open, great with my dog Kuma and he loved her! I would recommend her to any and everybody. Walks, parks, food..could not ask for a better person to watch my dog on such short notice. I will be asking her again for sure.”
“My dog Hippie gets so excited when he gets to see David and his furry friends. David has a big yard for the dogs to run around. He took care of Hippie very well, I can always trust and rely on David for a fun and safe stay for my doggy.”
“Ashley is so sweet and caring! I really appreciated the photo updates she sent during Mocha’s stay—it was so comforting to see how happy and well taken care of she was. Mocha looked like she was having the best time”
“Quyeisha is great! She’ll give you updates and answers your questions promptly! She gave a lot of compliments with Bruno which tells a lot on how great of an Alpha she is! Will definitely book her whenever we visit Chicago next time!”
“I’m so impress! Jackie is so responsive and always update the condition of my dog Bentley. She is very good with dogs. Thank you Jackie for taking care of my baby. I highly recommend her and will use her in the future.”
“Diana was thoughtful and caring! I really appreciated her ease with my dog. She also helped me with my “separation anxiety “ by sending pics of my dog playing and on walks. Diana was flexible with my schedule and was okay with me picking up my dog past 10 pm. That was really helpful to me! Overall great experience! Highly recommend.”

About: I am at home full time so I am available to always keep a close watch of your dog, take your dog outside a numerous of times. I have been sitting dogs for about 4 years now. I have experience breeding and raising chows (which is a very hard breed to raise especially for first time dog owners). There is a dog park right across the street from my home your dog would love. And around the perimeter of the dog park is a dog path. I normally walk the dogs around the dog path and then play fetch and some other games in the park. I have a gated backyard so they are allow to play back there as well. I am close to a Walgreens and across the street from a pet store so if they need anything I have easy access to that.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I love the rescue community and think dogs are family not just our animals. My House consists of a big enclosed private backyard in a quiet neighborhood near the forest preserve. I have a 3 year old Beagle who is friendly loving and loves to play. Your dog would also have their own bedroom and bed to sleep on in my home in their own space in their provided Crate. My Home is two level so if they like to be in their own element that also is okay. Dogs MUST be dog friendly as my resident dog will be sharing space with them coexisting. Other than that they will be treated like they’re at home not a boarding facility with ten million dogs. I have special experience with senior dogs who wear diapers to adolescents who love to hang out to play. We are open to hosting 30 pounds or less. Mavee and I look forward to hosting you. I work from home so I’m there most of the time with my dog pals. Yesenia I work from home so I am home most of the day. If I leave for an errand dogs are always seperated from my resident dog when I leave in seperate crates/areas. My dog and I love to go for walks in the forest preserves, neighborhood, and hang out in my backyard to play. Yours will get the same treatment and attention ❤️

We will also feed, let play, potty breaks as needed.

“Kelly was great walking my two dogs. She was punctual, friendly, easy to communicate, provided us with pictures and details of their walk. I would definitely recommend and use her services again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.
“We love Hillary! Especially Charlie! He is an energetic mid-size dog who can be an "excitable boy" as in happy. Still, he's pretty strong. Hillary walked in and within 10 minutes had him sitting calmly and dropping a piece of junk mail he grabbed. Amazing! Hillary is calm and flexible with her time if I need to deviate from our set schedule. She just loves Charlie and he loves her right back. He knows when she's here before I do, boops my hand with his nose as in hurry up (!) and tears over to the front door. Last time she left, he sat at the gate watching her go, crying. I swear, she's just the best. Hire her. She really is a dog whisperer!”
“Maria was very nice and did great with our sometimes-high-strung dog. He liked her immediately and was happy to go for a walk with her even though he sometimes has separation anxiety. We're planning to book with her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and am no stranger to taking care of them(nail trimming, bathing, grooming, etc.). I can guarantee the utmost care. I currently have a part-time job and can dog-sit on off days since I have a flexible schedule that is perfectly suited for future bookings! I keep my house very pristine and have two friendly dogs, one of which is blind and they are socialized. I also have a fenced backyard.
“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Joshua was wonderful! He responded right away and was flexible when I switched some of the details last minute. I'll definitely be using him for walks in the future. Thank you! :)”
“Chris is a trustworthy addition to my circle of professionals helping me with my pup. She’s prompt, courteous and my discriminating dog took to her immediately. She’s fabulous and we will definitely call on her again.”
About: Since I was 3 I've been living with dogs. But having a dog that was actually mine, I was six and my mom bought the family a female Pomeranian for Christmas. Then from there our love of animals grew. at one time we had two Pomeranians and a German Shepard. I would walk them, feed and water them. And give them all the attention and love I could supply. I also would take care of my aunt and uncles dogs while they were gone, which sometimes included me to give oral medicine to their senior dog.
About: I had my first dog at just 6 years old and my love for animals had been growing ever since😊I currently have a dog of my own who is 5 years old! I’ve had her since she was a puppy (day she was born lol!) due to an accidental litter from my dog(who unfortunately passed away and is her mother) and my moms dog! So I am very good with puppy training as well😊I am good with administering medicine as needed for your fur baby if that is something you need! I work 3 night time 12 hour shifts Friday-Sunday so I am free during the week! I am in nursing school as well but as of now my classes are online! I can keep your fur baby company and play with them. I’m very good with animals of all kinds and making them comfortable around me! I offer companionship and treats lol! I love long walks for dogs so they will get plenty of potty breaks and lots of outside time!
“Sergio is great and very compassionate individual to walk my dog Rosie! He listened and in detail about handling Rosie with being a large breed puppy. Highly recommend Sergio!”

About: Ready to work hard and safe to take good care of your four-legged best friend! At your service for walks, sitting, driving to appointments, and any other basic pet care! I've been hired my neighbors, relatives, and family friends before to house sit/ pet sit. I think it's important to be careful and respectful at all times, to report any issues immediately, and treat the pet with the kindness and fun they usually receive from their owner! My family has previously kept a dog, geckos, a chameleon, fish, a rabbit,and a bird. My hobbies include chess, bowling, music and concerts, hiking and running. I'm located in the near-west suburbs but I have my own car so I'm happy to go anywhere around Chicagoland! Take care! currently working a flex position at Camp McKean for community and outdoor recreation. off all day on Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week I could dog sit before or after work. Early morning or evening. I will always top off a pet's water bowl, take an inventory of supplies like poop bags, toys, where food is, etc. with Rover gigs before I've taken pictures and videos for the client to let them know how everything's going 😀
“Jackie has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She’s always on time, reliable, and has taken the time to really get to know each of them. Her patience and dedication have even helped with some training along the way! We’ve had a consistently positive experience and truly appreciate the care and attention she gives. Would recommend, thank you!”

About: I have had dogs and cats growing up and pet sat all through college. My husband and I had a dog earlier in our marriage - we loved her while she lived with us. We have had our friends dogs over at our home overnight while they are on vacation to "dog-sit". Our kids love pets and enjoy hosting the pets of our friends. We are home all day almost every day. Our kids are part of a hybrid school so we have lots of flexibility. We have plenty of time and space to make your pet happy and comfortable and to take care of their needs. We have a big house that can accommodate all of your pets needs and a huge fenced in back yard. We also live close to parks and the forest preserve is a short 7min drive away if needed.
About: I am a sound healer, wife, mother to my toddler and animals. My husband is a city of chicago worker and we love the chicago area :) We are very active and love to go on long walks and love being outside with our dogs! I absolutely adore cats and love to spend time feeding the feral cats in my neighborhood. In my spare time I also love to go to the local park with my daughter to watch the squirrels and birds. I love nature. I am good with all types of animals and they love me! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and some chickens in our backyard. Our dogs are very friendly and love making new friends whenever they can. I truly love watching and meeting new animals and enjoy this type of work. Your pet will love and I cannot wait to meet and take care of them. Please reach out so I can help you with your pet needs! My schedule is open and flexible. My sound healing job varies but typically does not get in the way of pet sitting/ dog walking. Most days I am at home with my toddler or we are out exploring the parks. We have many pets in our home that we care for. I love to work with lists to help me to ensure all tasks are completed and that I am organized.

“Rob, is a great sitter. I just got a new position and would have to rehome my Nova. He said no she is not going to a shelter she can stay as long as you need her too. The reviews I have seen are very upsetting because when my flight was late, he said Nova was sleeping and just come her the next day without an extra charge. My Nova had her buddy Delta that he send pictures of once or twice a week. Rob does a good job of care, love and support.”
“Robert did great! Even though Logan was there for a shorter stay, I got plenty of pics and Logan looked happy/comfortable in all of them! I picked him up this morning and he's exhausted so I'm sure he had a good time”
“Jenny absolutely blew away our expectations as a dog sitter. She took my dog, Ginger, on long walks everyday at the park near her place, and even took the cutest pictures of him sleeping and playing every day. When Ginger wasn’t eating much, she went out of her way to get his favorite dog food to mix with his kibble. Jenny provided consistent updates throughout my vacation, so I did not worry at all about him at all. I’m definitely saving Jenny as a point of contact for any future trips. I would highly recommend her to anyone based on her experience with dogs and how well she has taken care of mine.”
“I can’t express how WONDERFUL our dogs stay was with Peter. We received constant updates and our sweet Cocoa was treated exactly as a family member (truly!). We were so happy knowing our pup was with such loving and caring people. We will absolutely be staying with them again!”
“I cannot rave enough about how wonderful Jonelle and her family are! They took such great care of my dog Topo! Topo is an anxious dog but shortly after being dropped off at Jonelle’s house, she was comfortable, playing fetch, and enjoying the company of her family and two pups! She was always sending me updates and photos which help me feel relieved all weekend. I truly would recommend Jonelle’s care if you want your pup to feel at home and be loved like family.

“Gabriela & Richard took awesome care of my Tyson, I feel lucky to have found people who took such great care of my pup! Every picture or video they shared showed him as being completely comfortable and happy. I would highly recommend them!”
“Ruben is an absolute HERO. I was struggling to find someone to keep my fur babies (dog & cat) long enough because work kept extending my trip away from home and that’s where a Ruben came in. He worked within my budget, picked up & dropped off my animals while I was already out of town and even left us a little goodie bag. Both Cocoa and Willie came back happy and healthy! Would recommend Ruben 20/10!”
“My dog loved Eniya and family!! She sent me pics while I was on vacation. She has a son so my Dog(Bears) had someone to play with. I felt like my dog was on vacation too. My vacation was worry free thanks to Eniya! Eniya and family are good people I could tell! I will gladly use her again😍 Big thank you Eniya!”
“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!”

“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Carla and her roommate took such great care of my girl. I had to find care last minute before a trip, and Carla was available and accommodating. She sent regular updates and great pics. Both my dog and I were really happy with Carla and definitely plan to use her again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sasha! She was fantastic with Moon, and it was so comforting to know he was in great hands.

I would absolutely recommend Sasha to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. Thank you, Sasha!”

I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely consider Rick as a reliable sitter when needed again in the future! Thank you!”
