“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“This was my second time booking with Maria and she was once again great! Provided me with lots of updates and I knew Julio was having a good time. I would definitely recommend Maria!”
“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, I know she was awesome because I was waiting for my puppies/babies to be super excited and uncontrollable when they saw me and NOPE they were cool calm and collected because they really liked Jan. They felt at home with her and not sure what she did, but they are definitely more chill. I will only use Jan going forward if she'll have us because she's also reasonable price wise.”
“Angelica was fantastic. Pluto came back in a very good mood and was relaxed at home, which says to me that he had a good time and felt safe with her and her dogs. I booked with Angelica last minute due to a cancellation and I am so glad I did! Thanks again.”
“Laurianne and Sven were amazing! They sent updates and pictures each day and I felt like my pup was in good hands the whole time. Will definitely be using them again on future trips!”
“Doug and Deb took care of our 11-year old medium-sized dog for 2 days/1 night while we were at a wedding. They were wonderful! We explained ahead of time that she is immunocompromised and can’t be around other dogs unless we’re 100% sure they are vaccinated, so Doug & Deb made sure she was the only “guest” in their home that weekend. They were also very accommodating when we let them know a few days before our trip that our dog would be wearing a cone and needed some antibiotic cream applied after a toenail injury. And of course, they sent pictures and reports on how she was doing throughout her stay. We will definitely use their services again in the future!”
“I love Jonelle & her family! She is very nice, super accommodating, has great communication and genuinely loves animals! Dakota took to her immediately and I’m starting to think she’s sad that she’s back home! 😬 ! I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of my big baby! ❤️”
“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“Michael and Joanna took excellent care of our pets while we were on vacation. Our dog Georgie has a special diet and needs two insulin shots a day, and they handled his feeding and meds routine exactly as we hoped. He also got plenty of much‑needed canine companionship during his stay, which helps keep up his energy as a senior pooch. Our cat Sheba had her own comfortable quarters, and everything was well-organized with the pets’ comfort in mind. They also sent regular pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. Great sitters and a great Rover experience all around!”
“Jenny took extremely good care of Harlem and she provided so many updates and photos. Harlem was sad to leave her at the end of his stay! Will definitely book with Jenny again.”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“Sophia and Andy were incredible. From the first time we met them, we knew our dog would be in great hands. They easily handled our dog’s personality quirks (both cute and obnoxious) and sent all the photos we needed to know that he felt at home while he stayed with them. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Camille and Joe were amazing sitters for my dog Blue! Very responsive and sent lots of pictures during the stay. I could tell Blue had a great time with them. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Bailey is a caring, knowledgeable and experienced pet owner and caretaker. Freddy was well-cared for and I was sent several photos during the day to let me know how he was doing. Bailey was sensitive in incorporating Freddy into her pack of two dogs. I felt very comfortable and confident that Freddy was well cared for. Thank you!”
“Jackie and her family were amazing with our dog. They took amazing care of him, and even took him out to play a few times. Jackie kept me updated with pictures and videos though-out the weekend. Our dog enjoyed his visit and I will be booking Jackie next time we’re in need of a sitter!!”

“I had a great experience with my dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 🐶❤️”
“Our Grace is usually standoffish and shy with new people but Kelly gained her confidence in only 2 days. I felt completely at ease while away that our kitty was taken care of. Kelly was always timely with visits and I really enjoyed her pictures and commentary ? Definitely recommend ?”
“Heather is Amazing with our Fur babies!! She treats them both like her own :) I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their fur babies!! Thanks again so much for all your help!!”
“Yulissa is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of our four cats, two of which are quite elderly. Because of different dietary needs for each cat and medications the instructions are quite elaborate, but that was no problem for Yulissa. She is an excellent communicator, and she made sure to give as a daily update. We would be very happy to have her take care of our cats 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.”
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.
“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!!”
About: I’ve had cats in my life forever. I raised my first cat from age 10 through marriage. I’m currently bonded to an 18 year old Balinese. I understand cats need their own routine, space, and quiet time, and I’m happy to give them exactly that while you’re away.
“Karina was amazing while watching my lil cat while I was gone on a long trip. I came home and Peach was well cared for and happy. Karina sent lots of cute pictures and updates every day about my lil lady.”
“Liliia took great care of my cat. She was very responsive and sent me daily updates. She also picked her up and dropped her off at my home which made my life infinitely easier! Would highly recommend!”
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.

“Jesse is utterly fantastic! He was incredibly patient and gentle with our dog. His experience and knowledge in caring for dogs is strongly apparent, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing sitter.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and hands-on caregiver. I raised my own dog from the time I was 15, so I have real experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, from energetic younger years to senior care. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve babysat family pets many times and am comfortable with both large and small dogs. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, or extra TLC, I’m attentive, gentle, and dependable. Pet care is now my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to every pet in my care. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests when possible. I plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m reliable about sticking to schedules and instructions so your pet’s day stays as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets overnight, my priority is safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible to your dogs needs. I make sure pets have a calm, secure environment and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and comfort throughout their stay, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods of time. I keep spaces clean, pet-safe, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to respect boundaries, especially for pets who may need time to adjust in a new environment. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance overnight, I treat them with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.
About: Hi, my name is Jesse and I offer In-home boarding, dog walking/pet visits and a pet taxi service. I can administer any medications and/or injections. I self employed and make my living as a professional pet trainer, groomer and have managed large pet care facilities in the Chicagoland area for 20 yrs. I have been responsible for the care and health of at least 300,000 pets in my time in the industry, so I am very well experienced with most medical issues and I specialize in senior and special needs dogs. I only take care of friendly, social dogs that are neutered(depending on age) and love the company of other friendly pets that might not do well in a boarding facility. I am self employed as a professional pet trainer and pet care provider. someone is home most the time which allows the pets to get the exercise they need in order to socialize well during play, rest or naps. I care for all pets according to whatever their needs are. There is no one way of caring for peoples pets and each pets needs its own individual attention tailored to their needs. Behavior is important as well.
“Sasha is great! I have an unpredictable work schedule that she was totally willing to accommodate. She has a great personality and is a good pack leader for the dogs. Her house is an inviting environment with a nice backyard for the pups to run around in.”
“I couldn't have asked for a more down-to-earth, caring, responsible person to take care of my dog. Even with a wonderful grassy fenced-in backyard to play in, Camille also took our dog for two walks along the peaceful tree-lined neighborhood she resides in. Our dog is generally anxious in new settings but, when I came to pick him up, he was completely relaxed on the rug along with their dog, Rosie. With other Rover sitters, he usually bolts for me and the door simultaneously with a wide-eyed frenzy which I had always chalked up to his anxious personality. When my dog didn't bolt, I knew immediately that she had been especially hospitable kind and loving towards him - for him to feel so safe and look so comfortable and at home. I saw it in his manner and felt it in my gut. There is only one other Rover sitter (out of many we have tried) that has had this effect on him. I highly recommend Camille to take care of your dog because she has something special. I would be willing to drive 30 minutes out of my way and back to have her take care of our dog. There is nothing I want more than to know my dog is happy and content when I am not around.”
“We could not ask for a better first experience. Tanya took excellent care of our new puppy. From potty breaks to play times she was there with him sending updates and pics. We were able to enjoy our night knowing he was in good hands. Thanks again.”
“Arlene pup-sat our lovely 3 month old puppy, who came home happy and tired. I would recommend her for all ages. She is a warm, caring person and I felt that our pup was in good hands.”
“We had a great experience with them during our stay in Chicago. We had to change our schedule around last minute and they were super accommodating and prompt with responses. Our pup had an amazing time with them. Highly recommend them for your pet care!”
“Rhae was very responsive, kept me updated during my dogs' stay, my dogs seemed happy! She took the time to walk them a few times while they were there just for the day. Very easy to work with, definitely recommend.”
“Ruben is the best! Our puppies Frankie and Kevin loved spending the day at his place. It had been a few weeks since Kevin last stayed with Ruben and he was so happy to see him! Frankie is a newer addition to our family and she’s a rescue - she’s been through some trauma and has separation anxiety but Ruben made her very comfortable. He is always so responsive, flexible, accommodating and a great host to our pups. He’s great about sending picture updates too! Highly recommend Ruben!”
“1st impressions is everything. It was Friday and we needed a puppy sitter on Sunday for Kira. Our first time using Karina and she took our Kira with open arms and a smile. Taking care of Kira included not just feeding and potty breaks, but also socializing with her dogs and a couple of videos of play time. THATS LOVE! Highly recommend her for puppy/dog parents who want a pleasant experience for that special member in the family. When we took Kira home, she was so exhausted from the fun she had with the other dogs, she was asleep for the rest of the night.”

“My dog Cali loves Jackie and her daughter. She responded really quickly when I needed a new dog walker and was really easy to communicate with and quickly met for a meet and greet. Cali loves her weekly walks with Jackie!”
“Suzanne has been wonderful for Prince. She is timely, energetic, and takes him on long walks. It's very helpful knowing someone who cares about dogs is in my neighborhood.”

“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!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently have a schedule consisting of classes and basketball. I have a bit going on, but whatever free time I have, I am available! I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.
“Joshua walks our dog everday during the week and he is great. We can tell by the pictures our dog enjoys his time with Josh. He will also contact me or my fiancee if anything is out of the ordinary. I highly recommend using Joshua as a dogwalker!”
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 😀

I have been responsible for the care and health of at least 300,000 pets in my time in the industry, so I am very well experienced with most medical issues and I specialize in senior and special needs dogs. I only take care of friendly, social dogs that are neutered(depending on age) and love the company of other friendly pets that might not do well in a boarding facility. I am self employed as a professional pet trainer and pet care provider. someone is home most the time which allows the pets to get the exercise they need in order to socialize well during play, rest or naps. I care for all pets according to whatever their needs are. There is no one way of caring for peoples pets and each pets needs its own individual attention tailored to their needs. Behavior is important as well.

“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Laurianne and Sven were amazing! They sent updates and pictures each day and I felt like my pup was in good hands the whole time. Will definitely be using them again on future trips!”
“I love Jonelle & her family! She is very nice, super accommodating, has great communication and genuinely loves animals! Dakota took to her immediately and I’m starting to think she’s sad that she’s back home! 😬 ! I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of my big baby! ❤️”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“Jenny took extremely good care of Harlem and she provided so many updates and photos. Harlem was sad to leave her at the end of his stay! Will definitely book with Jenny again.”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“Sophia and Andy were incredible. From the first time we met them, we knew our dog would be in great hands. They easily handled our dog’s personality quirks (both cute and obnoxious) and sent all the photos we needed to know that he felt at home while he stayed with them. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Camille and Joe were amazing sitters for my dog Blue! Very responsive and sent lots of pictures during the stay. I could tell Blue had a great time with them. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Joe took care of our 7mo old puppy for the weekend. It was our first time away from her and we were worried about how she would do with someone other than us. She did amazingly well and seemingly had a great time. I’m not surprised, Joe has a very welcoming and warm persona, it is obvious that he loves animals and he will treat yours as his own. He sent us pictures, video and updates all weekend long.”
“Ruben took my Anubis on such short notice and if I could give him 10 stars I would. He was very communicative and consistent with updates/pictures. While away on a long business trip, every time I worried I was able to simply check my phone for peace of mind. So glad we chose Ruben and I will be using him again in the future.”
“My dog felt like he was at home with Lauren! Awesome experience throughout. I was given updates and pictures. Felt at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. Would definitely book again with Lauren!”
“Shout out to Jasmine! Such a great experience with her! My dog Bulleit is a high-maintenance Border Collie who needs a lot of attention from his humans, so finding the right sitter has always been challenging and honestly gives me a lot of anxiety. And Bulleit said Jasmine is his favorite sitter, since he usually roasts me and barks at me for at least 1mins upon his pickup from daycare/boarding, but this time there’s no complaint🤣 Jasmine made everything so easy for me😭She’s incredibly caring and loving, and she kept me updated on how my dog was doing with lots of cute pictures. You can also tell that she has plenty of experience with different kinds of dogs and really knows how to make them feel comfortable. And doggos don’t lie, you can simply tell from their behavior whether they like their sitter and whether they’ve been treated well. I could tell that my dog felt genuinely happy, comfortable, and secure staying with Jasmine. For the first time, I was actually able to relax while I was away instead of constantly worrying about him. Highly recommend!! ❤️🐶”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Samantha was utterly amazing caring for my dog, Guru, who was recently adopted from a shelter. Guru is very social, and her dogs got along wonderfully with him. Since Guru and I are still getting to know one another, it was so comforting to receive regular text, photo, and video updates on how he was doing. Samantha was extremely gracious, attentive, and understanding throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her services!”
“Watched our very young puppy for a night and was amazing, very communicative, and flexible. The puppy seemed to have a great time with him and the resident dogs, and he sent tons of photos.”
“I’ve used Ian’s services twice now and he’s been excellent every time! I get daily pictures/videos of my girl and I know that she’s getting plenty of exercise under his care. I also appreciate that Ian loves pitbulls and is understanding of my dog’s big, loving nature. He’s my dog sitter from here on out!”
“She’s a great person with a lot of pictures she kept me updated and give my baby much love I really appreciate you Great person for sure every time i come to Chicago i will oreo with her”
