“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”
“Kim was such a wonderful host to Pepper. We love all the pictures and her attention and care for ppper was greatly appreciated. Pepper has a great time and we were so happy with her. We definitely will use her service again.”
“Jacob is amazing and Murphy is the cutest company our dog could get. We boarded our doggo S’mores at Jacob’s for 4 days and he had a blast. He was happier than ever and we were enjoying all the videos Jacob sent us while we were on our trip. Thank you Jacob for taking such good care of S’mores.”
“Heather is wonderful & took great care of Scout. She was really responsive and sent multiple updates. Scout enjoyed his time with her & her family & is looking forward to his next stay.”
“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Being military and having to travel often, she’s always available and happy to take my girls in. My babies love coming here, I think they are more excited when we pull up than when we’re leaving. There’s no other sitter I would rather leave my kids with! 10/10 recommend!”
“Sunshine and her kids are amazing! Easy communication and a lot of pictures. Lolla is back home and for the first time she’s not stressed with our absence. I highly recommend Sunshine.”
“This was my first time leave my dog Bruce anywhere other than my house. He can be a little anxious, so we were nervous to do this, but gave it a shot considering all the positive reviews Dee had. Dee updated us several times a day with messages and pictures/ videos of Bruce, which helped us relax because he looked happy at her house. Dee was very responsive to messages when we replied and we will be booking again for future trips if she is available!!”
“Angela & David were the perfect hosts. We had never left Gladys with anyone so we were nervous about how she would react. She had a great time with them (even falling asleep on David’s lap) which allowed us to relax and have a great time while we were away. They were super accommodating and worked with our friend to arrange pick up when we could not make it. Thank you for making her feel loved in our absence.”
“Elvis was in great hands with Stella. He got along great with her dogs. I was never worried about him while on vacation. He had a brown 3 legged squeaky toy that was lost at the house. He must have had fun playing with it with the other dogs. No problem, he can get it back next time Elvis stays. I would highly suggest others to consider Stella. Great family and dog lovers. Thanks so much…”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Chisato did a fantastic job taking care of our dog! She kept us updated frequently, and we felt comfortable knowing that Chisato was providing great care for our dog.”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“Norm and Mary watched our golden retriever over the weekend and really made us feel comfortable with his first Rover experience. If we need someone to watch him again they are our first choice! Made the transition from our home to theirs seamless as possible for Kobe. Thanks!”
“Danielle and her family were absolutely incredible with my dog, Pretzel! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was going to be fully embraced as part of their family. She provided timely updates, photos, and messages that truly put my mind at ease — and honestly made me miss my boy even more in the sweetest way. Pretzel was active, engaged, and showered with cuddles — exactly the kind of love and attention he receives at home. It genuinely felt like while I was on vacation, he was on one too! The level of care Danielle and her family provided was exceptional. When I brought Pretzel home, I could even tell he felt the “void” of leaving them — which speaks volumes about how loved and comfortable he was in their care. I am beyond grateful and already looking forward to my next trip knowing Pretzel will be in such amazing hands. Highly, highly recommend! 🐶✨”
“Tony was great with Archie. He sent photos and videos which I really liked to see. Archie looked like he really enjoyed himself. Would highly recommend Tony. Thanks again for having Archie in your home”

“Liz took the best care of our two dogs. One of our dogs is a bit nervous and she was great about the needs of each dog with different personalities. It was our first time to be away during the night without the dogs and they were perfectly fine with Liz making several stops throughout the day. We will definitely ask for Liz to care for our dogs in the future. She’s very good about communicating and prompt with all the requested visits. I highly recommend Liz. She is so nice and professional.”
“Barbara did a great job! She took extra care in communications, and even checked on our cats extra when she had a concern. We'll definitely be booking her again!”
“We’ve rebooked Teri to look after our cat a few times now and are always so happy with her service. Our cat loves her and she’s so communicative and helpful - she makes us feel completely comfortable leaving our cat for a few days as we know he’ll be well taken care of!”
“Rosanna was so dedicated to helping our Max. He hides from strangers. But he needs meds so she had to hunt for him in the hardest of locations to find. She went above the call of her duties. So caring!! I recommend her very highly!!”
“Lindsey is so kind and very communicative! She genuinely cares for my cats, which is amazing. She does a great job caring for my cats and I have used her several times when I’ve gone out of town. Definitely recommend Lindsey!”
“MacKenzie is so good with my two cats. She gets them playing. She is so friendly and reliable. You feel confident in her ability to take care of your guys no matter what. Great pics and notes every day. She is a good choice for your pets too.”
“We love Nancy watching our fur babies! She is very caring and I can’t imagine a better caretaker. We feel extremely comfortable leaving when she has accepted our pet care trip request.”
“This was the second time that Swagata took care of Jojo. She's truly amazing with Cats!! She came for drop-in visit, she followed all the instructions and also spent some playtime with Jojo... I was so glad that she did... I will 100% recommend her if you're looking for a caring pet sitter...”
“Extremely happy with Christine. This is the first time I've had a drop in visit for my pets in 10 years. Christine reassured me and even came to visit my fur babies before. She brought an ease and I felt complete trust that they were in good hands. I was given many updates every visit and pictures. She was thoughtful and always on time. My pets were very comfortable with her. Which made my trip less stressful. I would definitely recommend Christine and I will happily recommend her and have her back again in the future.”
“Jessie was great with our cats! Even our shyest one came out for her! She took care of their food and litter and even spent time playing with them. We loved seeing the photos and reading their reports! We’ll definitely book with Jessie again!”
“Hope took such good care of my two kitties! This was my first time leaving them alone with a sitter and any anxiety I had about it went away immediately with Hope. She was prompt with a response to any message I sent, and I came back home to two happy cats and my home as clean as I left it. She sent me adorable updates each visit (2x a day) and was consistent with her schedule for them. I would recommend Hope to anyone!”
“Toni always goes above and beyond with our cats! We have a shy cat and by her second time having come to visit, the shy girl was willing to make herself known. That speaks volumes about Toni’s soul. Such a good person. We can’t wait for her to visit again!”

“Martha and Byron are amazing! They took excellent care of Tango and Lily. As soon as I dropped them off, Tango was taken for a walk and Lily roamed free around the house and yard. Throughout the day I received multiple updates with pictures. Martha and Byron knew Tango loves carrots and they provided that for him. Both dogs were entertained and enjoyed their time with Martha, Byron, and their three sons. When we got home, Tango and Lily were so tired that they passed out right away! Exactly what I was hoping for - happy dog = a tired dog 😀 Thank you both for providing such a fun and loving environment for my dogs. We will be back!!”
“I was in town for an appointment and dropped my dog spooky off for a couple hours. The appointment went a little long and they were very understanding and let me come a little later than we had planned. Very nice people and they had an amazing backyard for spooky to explore! He is now sleeping peacefully after his morning of fun!”
“Megan was great with my dog! She sent lots of pictures and I could tell my dog was having the best time ever. Megan was an excellent communicator and so easy to work with. I will book with again and recommend others do as well.”
“Kim is patient and loving and Frankie enjoyed his long walk and time playing in the large fenced in yard. We are so happy that we found Kim to watch our puppy when we have family outings. Thank you so much!”
“Our dog gets so excited when she sees we’re taking her to “Tía Lorena’s house!” Lorena and her family are so lovely and welcoming, and we always pick up a tired, happy dog at the end of the day.”
“First time leaving our dog with a sitter. Whole family was a little apprehensive, since we didn't know what to expect with how our dog would behave. Florence kept us updated with text, pictures and videos. We felt at ease to see that our baby looked comfortable, behaving and getting along well with Florence's dog. We were also glad to see that she was safe and happy. Thank you Florence for taking great care of CC!”

“Brianna has been such a blessing for our 6 month old mini-dachshund, Murphy! She is helping us to continuously socialize him with other dogs, cats, and kids…You can feel her passion and positive energy and can tell she loves what she does IMMEDIATELY when you meet her! Not only is Murphy happy and excited to spend time with her and her family but she sends us pictures of all the positive interactions and moments they have during the day! 6 out of 5 stars!”
“Sunshine and her kids made sure our pup was well loved and cared for during his time with them! Treats, playtime, and lots of snuggles had our pup smiling, and Sunshine sent creative photos throughout the day showing us how happy he was. ☺️”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Tommy received ! From the moment we arrived, Swagata made us feel welcome and at ease. Tommy can be a little shy at first, but he warmed up quickly thanks to the friendly and attentive caregiver. Throughout the day, I received photo updates showing Tommy playing, lounging , and getting lots of love. It was clear he was having a blast and felt completely safe and comfortable. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and ready for a nap — always a sign of a fun-filled day! I’m so grateful to have found a place where Tommy is treated like family. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you, Swagata, for taking such great care of my boy!”

About: I got my first dog (fox terrier) at 10 and was primarily responsible for his needs until I went to college. He lived to be 11 and I loved those 10 years with him so much. During high school and college until COVID started, I pet sit several dogs and a few cats. Then I adopted a retired racing greyhound when COVID started and adopted a rescue great dane in fall 2023. I would describe myself as consistent, adaptable, respectful, confident, observant, and caring. I am very understanding to the fact that every dog has different needs and that every owner has their own rules/training styles. I am an experienced dog handler. When I adopted the rescue great dane, he was completely untrained with very dangerous and challenging behaviors. I worked with 3 different trainers, took him to a group obedience class, and researched as much as I could to train him to be the good dog I knew he could be. After almost a year of rigorous training, he has been able to become an amazing well behaved dog. I am completely open to taking care of any breed, size, age, and personality. I will not shy away from or turn down taking care of the "difficult" dogs, or puppies, or senior dogs with many medical requirements. All dogs are great and deserve great care while their human is away! Last Updated: 7/9/2025 ***I live in a neighborhood off of Route 45 and Sterns School*** WALKS AND DROP-INS - Reoccurring bookings: Mon-Wed/Fri-Sun 11:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m.; Thu 1:00-7:00 p.m. - One-time bookings: Can be outside of the above times if needed, but confirm with me first. ***A DISCOUNTED WALK RATE IS AVAILABLE DURING ALL BOARDING, HOUSE SITTING, AND DAYCARE BOOKINGS*** - 30 min walk per day = $10 (usually $20) - 15 min walk per day = $5 HOUSE SITTING: I am available to stay with your pet in your home any night and day of the week almost 24/7. I have a few re-occurring weekly dog walks so I would need to be gone for a few hours midday usually. BOARDING: Your dog can stay overnight at my house any day of the week, provided that they are a small breed, well-behaved, and okay with large dogs.* DAYCARE: Your dog can stay at my house any day of the week provided that they are a small breed, well-behaved, and okay with large dogs.* - Re-occurring bookings: preferred drop off is 9 a.m. or later, pick up anytime is fine - One-time bookings: drop off can be earlier than 9 a.m. if needed, just confirm with me first, pick up anytime is fine --- *My greyhound is 9 y.o., 70 lb. and my great dane is 4 y.o., 140 lb. My great dane LOVES small, well-behaved dogs, but still struggles a bit with medium/large dogs. I am working to resolve this and will be able to accommodate those sizes for boarding/daycare in the future! ^If I house sit for you and you have a medium/large dog that cannot be left alone or does not like other dogs, I can still bring them to my house and crate my dogs in the other room! I will always uphold any rules/training style you have for me and your dog no matter what service I am providing. I am receptive to feedback and will always keep you informed about how my time is going with your dog and will always ask questions in order to take the best care of your dog. HOUSE SITTING: I am okay with multidog homes. I will leave your house the way you had it when you leave and I can get your mail/packages/put your trash cans out and back in as well. I can take care of other animals you have as well while you are gone. BOARDING/DAYCARE: Safety and peace of mind is of utmost importance for me. Since I have 2 large dogs already, I can only take one dog at a time. (Caveats: If an emergency, I could take a second dog; if you have two well-behaved small dogs, that might be okay too - just ask me). The greyhound is very chill and is great with any well-behaved dog. The great dane is fine with well-behaved small dogs. I will always take it slow on leash when introducing the dogs to each other and then they will always be supervised when together. Only other pets I have are fish. I have no kids. I keep the house very clean and doors to rooms/bathrooms closed so no way of getting in to things they shouldn't! I have a decently sized fenced backyard. There is a few feet of the fence that is higher off the ground so if I can keep small dogs on leash when they go out. I can also take them out by themself if necessary. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a basement so plenty of room in case the dogs need a break from each other or need to play separately from each other. Additionally, the great dane is extremely well crate trained and has an upstairs and downstairs crate that can be utilized. If I had to leave for some reason while your dog is staying at my house (which I rarely do, all dogs would be separated (by crate or being in a different room). You can bring their crate and/or I have an extra crate as well. All dogs can sleep in the bedroom but not on the bed!
“Cassandra is awesome. We are visiting and had no idea what to do with Gordo since we were afraid to leave him in the hotel alone and wanted to make a cubs game. We contacted on short notice but Cassandra responded quickly and took great care of our fur baby.”
About: I truly take care of pets, being responsible and careful.

I am available for taking care of your loved ones and have a nice place in my house for them❤️. It is clean and cozy.
“Jax absolutely loves Thanit. He is so excited to see her. When I drop him off he runs right in the house - never looking back to acknowledge that I’m leaving or say goodbye. During his stays, Thanit sends pictures and videos showing Jax in action - playing with toys, taking walks through the neighborhood, running around the backyard with her husband, and snuggling on the couch with her. Jax has truly found his 2nd home. And I’ve found peace of mind knowing he is with someone that loves and cares about him. We will be booking daycare with her again. I highly recommend Thanit - your dog will thank you.”

“Great experience for my puppy learning to be left alone during the day! Faith kept our training habits going and was even conscientious about checking her water before leaving. So grateful to have someone helping our little family out!”
“Gwendolyn went above and beyond to help us in a bind with our best boy! She gave him a good walk, refilled his bowl with fresh water and even gave him some snackies to hold him over until we got home. On top of that she spent time after the walk to love on him for a while! 10/10 and will be using her again!!”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.
“Keira was such a blessing for us! She walked our dog Bernard and was so easy to communicate with! She posted pictures of what he did on the walk and he loved her right away! I would definitely recommend Keira!”

“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Being military and having to travel often, she’s always available and happy to take my girls in. My babies love coming here, I think they are more excited when we pull up than when we’re leaving. There’s no other sitter I would rather leave my kids with! 10/10 recommend!”
“Sunshine and her kids are amazing! Easy communication and a lot of pictures. Lolla is back home and for the first time she’s not stressed with our absence. I highly recommend Sunshine.”
“This was my first time leave my dog Bruce anywhere other than my house. He can be a little anxious, so we were nervous to do this, but gave it a shot considering all the positive reviews Dee had. Dee updated us several times a day with messages and pictures/ videos of Bruce, which helped us relax because he looked happy at her house. Dee was very responsive to messages when we replied and we will be booking again for future trips if she is available!!”
“Angela & David were the perfect hosts. We had never left Gladys with anyone so we were nervous about how she would react. She had a great time with them (even falling asleep on David’s lap) which allowed us to relax and have a great time while we were away. They were super accommodating and worked with our friend to arrange pick up when we could not make it. Thank you for making her feel loved in our absence.”
“Elvis was in great hands with Stella. He got along great with her dogs. I was never worried about him while on vacation. He had a brown 3 legged squeaky toy that was lost at the house. He must have had fun playing with it with the other dogs. No problem, he can get it back next time Elvis stays. I would highly suggest others to consider Stella. Great family and dog lovers. Thanks so much…”
“Chisato did a fantastic job taking care of our dog! She kept us updated frequently, and we felt comfortable knowing that Chisato was providing great care for our dog.”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“Norm and Mary watched our golden retriever over the weekend and really made us feel comfortable with his first Rover experience. If we need someone to watch him again they are our first choice! Made the transition from our home to theirs seamless as possible for Kobe. Thanks!”
“Tony was great with Archie. He sent photos and videos which I really liked to see. Archie looked like he really enjoyed himself. Would highly recommend Tony. Thanks again for having Archie in your home”
“Kelsey was absolutely amazing! I was in a tough spot — I was getting married and the friend who was supposed to watch my dog, Inc, canceled last minute. I had no one lined up and was pretty stressed. I did a meet-and-greet with Kelsey and her husband, and right away I felt completely comfortable. They were both so kind and welcoming, and their home was perfect for Inc. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelsey went above and beyond, and I had total peace of mind on such an important day. If I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Karina and Edwin were so wonderful with our dogs and we were so happy knowing they were well taken care of while we traveled. We received lots of pics and the communication was great! Bear and Suzie can’t wait to return for their next stay!”
“Our dog came home a tired and happy dog. The pictures and updates were appreciated, and made me more comfortable knowing that our dog was having a good time. We would book again at Deanne's house.”
“Anna, took really great care of our Golden Retriever, Beau! I was pleased the find her taking him for a walk when I called to pick him up early. We appreciate her flexibility and love for dogs!”
