He was very happy and healthy when I saw him again, and he enjoyed himself tremendously.

She was great and I hope we can visit her again sometime! (Tucker thinks so too...)”

You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”

“Our two kitties love Sarah! We can’t recommend her enough. While we were away, Sarah did daily drop in visits and worked with their automatic litter and automatic wet feeder. Now we have our go-to sitter anytime we need someone to keep cats company!”
“Shannon was fantastic with my cat. He has a topical ear cream for daily medication, which she administered without issue while was away. My cat has also been dealing with a lot of attachment anxiety while I am away, and Shannon was able to make a good connection with him to provide for his social needs and affection. Would certainly use Shannon again in the future.”
“She was truly an ideal cat sitter, attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. My cat is usually very skittish, so I was amazed that by the last visit she came out, let herself be petted, and even played. The photos were wonderful and very reassuring. She also went above and beyond with a few extra things I asked for. I couldn’t have had a better experience. I’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”
“Karina was incredible and great to work with! She was very communicative and took the time to play with the cats after feeding/cleaning the litter box. She took many wonderful pictures and made sure they were comfortable and happy whenever she stopped by. Provided great updates after each visit as well. Fantastic sitter, would definitely book again!”

It’s clear from the numerous photos that she provides that my cat loves her just as much as she loves him. Faith is excellent with communication and on several occasions she has responded to my cat-sitting requests on super short notice. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!”
“Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.”

Whether your cat wants lots of attention and cuddles or prefers to have their space, I’m happy to let them set the pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience caring for cats with medical needs, including administering insulin injections. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, medication and care instructions and understand how important consistency is for pets who require extra care. Of course, I’m also happy to handle the glamorous parts of cat parenting — litter boxes included! Your kitty will get plenty of love, attention and care, along with photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Kristin is so wonderful! She sent me so many great photos and filled me in with lovely updates during my trip. Many of the updates made me laugh, which felt so fitting for my silly cat. It was awesome to see how well Kristin's dog Tater got along with my cat, too! I felt so secure during my time traveling knowing that she was taking such good care of my little guy, as well as my home! I will absolutely go to Kristin any time I need a long-term or short-term sitter for Kona.”

“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 have taken care of dogs since I was about 10. I have had a big and small dog in my life. I have walked, play dates, overnight watched with other people's cats or dogs. I have also fostered 3 dogs in the past who have been adopted into loving homes. I am currently a stay at home mom. We take pups for walks. We love them like they are our own pets. We make sure that the pups have a lot of playtime inside or outside to keep them engaged. I have a fenced yard for all the running and zoomies your pet needs. I have a walk in shower and tub if needed. I also have baby gates if needed.
“Lola had such a wonderful time! ❤️ She can be a little picky about people, so I could immediately tell how happy and comfortable she was with Eliza. It makes me feel so comfortable leaving Lola with her, knowing she’s in such good hands. Eliza is truly the best, and I’m so grateful I found her! 🐾💕”
“Milo had a great stay at Andrew and Katelyn’s! I immediately felt comfortable leaving him and knew he would be in good hands. Andrew sent several photos and kept me updated throughout Milo’s stay. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: For the past 8 years, I have been providing off-and-on sitting, boarding, and walking care for various relatives' dogs. Through caring for family pets, ranging from energetic Boxers to gentle Cockapoos, I have gained extensive, hands-on experience handling different temperaments, routines, and unique canine behaviors. While household allergies mean I am unable to have a full-time dog of my own, opening up my schedule to part-time pet sitting allows me to bring my passion for dogs into my daily life. This setup works beautifully for my clients, as it means your dog receives 100% of my focused attention and care during their time with me, without competing for space with a resident pet. Because I work full-time from a home office, my daily schedule is uniquely suited for doggie daycare and overnight boarding. I am home throughout the entire workday, meaning your dog gets constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and supervision without ever being left alone in a new environment. This work-from-home setup allows me to easily accommodate your dog’s specific feeding times and daily routines while providing a calm, attentive atmosphere. While my remote work schedule naturally focuses my availability on in-home boarding and daycare rather than off-site midday drop-ins, it ensures your dog receives focused care, plenty of backyard time, and consistent company all day long. Safety on Walks & Drop-Ins Safety is my absolute top priority. When walking your dog, I practice active situational awareness—I monitor the environment for triggers like loud traffic, bicycles, or off-leash dogs well before they become an issue. I use a secure, two-handed leash grip and never let your dog off-leash in public spaces. If your dog is sensitive or easily spooked, I am happy to take quieter routes and use positive reinforcement to keep them feeling safe and secure. My Home Environment (For Short-Term Boarding) I live in a clean, smoke-free home with a secure, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely stretch their legs under my direct, 100% supervision. I do not have any resident dogs or cats, meaning your pup will enjoy a peaceful environment without the stress of competing for space. We do share our home with a few securely housed reptiles (a Ball Python, a DeKay's Brown Snake, and two leopard geckos) who live strictly inside their locked enclosures, completely out of reach of guest dogs. Because we manage a saliva allergy in our household, my home is kept exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and structured. We maintain excellent boundaries: guest dogs are kept out of bedrooms and are safely crated during bedtime or if I ever need to step out for a brief moment. Your dog will receive a wonderful balance of structure, safety, and a whole lot of love.
“D’Artagnan is a great provider for our boy and made sure to send us updates every once in a while to let us know he was doing alright. Reassuring and understood things our boy couldn’t eat or do. Overall very satisfied and believe our boy had a great time.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been something I truly love! Over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with all types and breeds and love getting to know each pet’s personality and needs. I have a very fun 2 year old dog who loves making new friends and does great with both male and female dogs! Whether your pup needs a home away from home while you’re traveling, daycare and or company during the day, or just a nice walk to break up their day, I’d be happy to help. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Let me know what you’re looking for I’d love to meet you and your pup! I currently work a part time serving job 2–3 evenings a week, just 7 minutes from our apartment. My shifts are only a couple of hours, and my boyfriend is usually home from work before I leave or shortly after. Because of this, if your pup stays with us, they would never be alone for more than about 1.5 hours. Outside of those short shifts, I’m home and able to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and lots of love! I love creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where pups can feel right at home! Most mornings, I enjoy spending time playing with my own pup, whether we’re tossing a toy around, enjoying some time outside, or doing enrichment activities. Our apartment has more of a townhome feel, with a fenced-in outdoor area where pups can safely get some fresh air and play. We also a tree that keeps my pup entertained for hours thanks to all the squirrels that love hanging out there! We live in a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood with plenty of space for walks and exploring. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they’re used to while they’re in my care. Most importantly, I want every pup to feel they are at home while they are with us!

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable dog walker and sitter with a deep love for animals and hands-on experience as a proud pet parent to my sweet 9-year-old Maltipoo.

Dogs are always kept on-leash outside, and I take them to fenced-in parks for safe playtime. At home, they get a clean, cozy space with lots of care and supervision.

Throughout the day, we received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Flynn was in great hands. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby—your attention to detail and thoughtful communication made all the difference!”
“Sana was amazing with Jesse! She really got to know him, and I could tell from the photos and messages that Jesse was feeling safe and cared for. As a first-time dog mom, it’s tough to leave my furry baby behind, but knowing more about him and getting updates during and after pick-up really put my mind at ease and made it even better than I had hoped. If you are looking for.a reliable, caring and professional pet sitter, I highly recommend Sana!”
“As a first-time dog daycare user, I was filled with worry, but Thea went above and beyond anything I could have imagined.

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.”
“We were so blessed that Bob was not only available on a Saturday at short notice, but willing to watch our three fur babies, one them elderly and in need of medication! We are from out of state, and had to bring the dogs with us. Saturday required us to be a part of an all-day 50th anniversary celebration, so the dogs needed to be attended to for 10 hours. Bob was incredibly gracious, caring, and attentive to details about our furbies; especially our sweet Maddie, who is blind and requires medication three times a day. What a gift to us to not have to worry about them! We received updates throughout the evening, and when we returned to pick them up, all was well. The pups were happy and had a good time. Bob, we will look for you again if we are ever in Chicago with our dogs. I cannot express how grateful we are to have found you!”

About: As a long time animal owner and lover, I'll always take care of your pet like they're my own. It's so important to me that you feel safe when you leave your fur baby in somebody else's care. I also have lots of experience with dog breeds with varying behavioral issues - from terrified chihuahuas to leash reactive german shepherds, horses, fish, and tons of lil guys inbetween. Whether it’s a drop in, walk, or overnight sitting, We’ll work together to make sure your pets needs are 110% met. 🫶🏻 I currently work completely remote so my schedule is highly flexible and I’m happy to accommodate your needs or come keep some company for a while. During drop ins, I'm always happy to refill water bowls, feed, walk, play, cuddle, and whatever is needed to make sure your pet stays stimulated and has some trusted company while you're away.

About: I have long helped family and friends with watching and checking in on their own dogs and have had a passion for interacting and helping animals since I was young! I am happy to help however I can with making sure they are comfortable and content. I currently work full time in the evenings, so I have plenty of time in the morning and afternoons to play with your pets! Since I already have a routine established with taking care of my own pet, spending time and getting to know your pet’s routine will help build trust and comfort in the process. I always try to make sure I approach them in a way that they are comfortable and taken care of without making them feel threatened or not secure. I meet them where they are at to ensure trust is first and foremost.
“I can't say enough about how reliable and friendly Evelyn is. She has been walking our dog for months now and has never missed a walk. She is extremely dependable and very very easy to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking!!”
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, so I understand the joy it brings dogs to go on walks and experience all the smells throughout the neighborhood. I also know that dogs are part of the family (my dogs are my children just like my human children), so I take this role very seriously. I work full time, but am available most weekends at some point during the days and evenings. Can also be available some weekday evenings as well. I take great care to follow the family's instructions with feeding, walking, and playing. My own dogs get 3 walks a day plus some play time.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. After losing my own beloved senior dogs, I’m not quite ready to bring another dog into my life permanently, but I truly miss having animals around and would love the opportunity to care for yours as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who love walks and playtime to senior pets who simply want companionship, cuddles and a cozy place to nap. I’ve also cared for large dogs, including my 100-lb Boxer, so bigger pups don’t intimidate me! I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, loved and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible, with plenty of affection and updates for you along the way. I work full-time from 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., but I have flexibility that works really well for pet sitting. I’m available to stay in your home during the workweek as long as you have reliable Wi-Fi, which allows me to work remotely and be there with your pets throughout the day. I’m also available for walks and drop-in visits after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and have more flexibility on weekends. I love having furry coworkers! I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pets and your home in someone else’s care. I will treat your home respectfully and your pets as if they were my own. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions and medications, and I’ll follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Their safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax while you’re away!
“I really appreciate Kelly! She took great care of my yellow lab! She gave him a good long walk, fed him and gave him his medication. It’s very reassuring to know he’s in good hands of a dog lover.”
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!

I mentioned the reason for the sitting and then she messaged us wishing the person a happy birthday and it was very heartfelt. All in all outstanding experience and will use again.”
“Michelle took great care of our dog. She is very organized, thorough and responsive. She has a lovely home and a very big and gentle dog who will make a great friend to any dog guest. She definitely spoiled our dog! Highly recommended.”
“Kasia stayed with our puppy Bella over the weekend and our experience was amazing! Kasia was so attentive and shared photos every day of Bella and her sweet little daughter! Kasia and her daughter played with Bella endlessly! We love that she only sits for one dog at a time! I will recommend Kasia to all of my friends! We hope to see you again soon! Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! ?”
“Watched our Gus who is a rescue and has aggression. Bob took him in with no hesitation. We had Gus stay at Bob’s for 4 nights for our first time with Bob. Will definitely book wil Bob from now on. Highly recommend!”
“Katerina was amazing! She’s so kind and really cares about your fur babies. She sends pictures and is very accommodating with scheduling. Will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Katerina!!”
“Melissa and her entire family were amazing with Champ! He was so spoiled the entire time and had such a blast with his new best friend, Maple. Melissa was super accommodating and also amazing at communicating with us the whole time. We got so many wonderful pictures too each day! Thank you!!!”
“This was the first time my 10yo dog, Finley, did not have someone stay with him in his own home. Kyle had been recommended to me by a friend’s daughter. We did a meet and greet prior to my leaving, and tho it went well, I was quite anxious about leaving Finn. Fortunately, all my fears were unfounded; each day I received a photo and/or a brief update. Finn was completely fine and quite nonchalant about my return. Kyle gave him his meds, more walks than I do, and I don’t think he was alone once! I feel great about having a resource in Kyle and his family for future trips!”
“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”
