“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. 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!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”
“Hannah is an amazing full-time dog caregiver! She can handle anything and her schedule allows her to be super flexible with her clients. Our pup started an antibiotic 3 days before our trip, and she was able to take him, administer all the meds and keep him sequestered until he was no longer a health hazard. In addition, our flight was canceled and she kept C for an extra day at the same rate. We are confident in her abilities and her love for our dog.”
“Michelle was great and went completely out of her way to pick up meds for our dog and administer while we were out on vacation. Always nice knowing your pets are with someone who truly cares for their well-being.”
“Christine took excellent care of our sweet pup, Flora. We needed her help for 16 days while we were on a vacation, and she was so helpful, kind, and thoughtful. We appreciated the photos and quick responses to asks, questions, and concerns. We were able to drop off when needed and pick up on our own schedule. Christine made leaving our girl much easier. Thank you for making Flora feel at home.”

“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”

She sent plenty of pictures and videos of Karl while he was with her and her dog was a great new buddy for Karl to meet and hang out with. Book with the highest of confidence, will definitely be using her again.”
“Bryan was fantastic taking care of Simba for a couple of days. He was fast to respond and gave us much confidence about Simba’s stay right from the start. The meet and greet at his place was a success ! Simba loved the yard so much !! Bryan and his family took care of Simba so well, handled communications and updates regularly and also making Simba be as comfortable as possible. Bryan also gave us a sweet gift when we picked Simba up ! Thank you Bryan for taking care of our Simba like your own❤️ I highly recommend Bryan to anyone who is wanting care for their pet.”

About: I have taken care of cats on and off since I was 12. Growing up with a cat as one of my best companions, I have seen how important quality care is to their wellness. Look no further if you are in need of someone to check in on, feed, or play with your feline friend.
“Ashley always takes great car of our cat Benny. She spends time with him at every visit giving him belly and chin rubs, brushing, etc. Ashley is reliable and commuicates after each visit.”
About: I have personally had cats for 22 years. I have experience giving meds as well and caring for cats with medical issues such as arthritis and asthma. They truly are fascinating creatures with fun personalities. In my bldg we have a lot of pets and we all help each other. Many times I’ve checked on, played with, given meds and cleaned up their litter boxes. We’re a tight community that all believe our pets are our family.
About: I have taken care of cats all my life. I have never not had cats even as a little kid. We currently have 4 cats in our house and I adopted an outside cat 5 years ago who comes twice a day to eat.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve had animals in my home since I was young, and over the years I’ve helped care for pets for elderly owners when they were unable to themselves. I have experience with boarding, bathing, light grooming, reinforcing owner-trained commands, and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from teacup poodles to Great Danes and pitbulls. I’ve also administered oral medications and cared for diabetic dogs and pets with health needs. Building trust with both pets and owners is something I truly value, and I’m grateful to have had many repeat clients over the years. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom who already spends a lot of time being active with my family and our own dog. We live in a gated community with great walking and running trails, so runs, walks, playtime, and exercise are already part of our day. I’m home often, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, care, and supervision throughout the day. I care for pets based on their individual routines and owner preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Safety is my top priority, and interaction with other dogs, including my own, only happens with owner permission. Pets receive supervised potty breaks, walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of care throughout the day, with routines kept as consistent as possible both in my home and in clients’ homes.

Perfect for high energy dogs - South Barrington
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I'm Victor a homeowner in Hoffman Estates with a fenced backyard and a genuine love for dogs. Your dog gets my full attention: structured walks, a safe yard to run, and a calm home environment. I keep owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day. Small things matter to me because your dog matters to you. I'm currently working full-time and have time to walk dogs after 6 p.m., I'm available on weekends as well upon request. Weekends availability if needed. I can responsibly walk your dog without distractions, that means not checking my cellphone every minute during the walk. If house sitting is needed, I am a home owner with fenced back yard and empty unfurnished basement.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. We have had family dogs growing up and we raised since puppies. I have also dog sat and taken care many friends/ family dogs of all ages. I was a nanny in high school and college and would take care of their dogs as well. I have experience with dog sitting/boarding up to 3 dogs at once. My days are very flexible and I will have plenty of time to feed, play with, and walk dogs at any hour on the days of the week I am available. My husband also works from home full time and loves to help out with walks/playing! We have a fenced in yard. We do not have a dog of our own so your dog will get all of the attention! We have plenty of room to fit a crate if necessary. We also have a gate to fence off the upstairs part of the house if necessary as well.
“When you drop your doggy off you can tell that Patricia is someone who truly loves dogs. She always has playmates which is perfect for my puppy to socialize and he always comes home to me happy and tired! Definetely recommend she is very flexible with time as well.”

“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've been around pets me whole life. I have always loved dogs of all sizes. My parents owned Shih Tzus since I was a kid and I was constantly around close family members' German Shepherds as well. I've done drop-ins countless times over the years for cats of friends and family. Now along with my husband, we live with our dog, Melon, and our cat, Amy. Melon is a 50lb 1-year-old mix breed, and Amy is an 11-year-old senior cat. They can be hectic and they keep us on our toes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! When your pets are in my care, I'll always treat them with all the love and adoration I give my own. I am currently between full-time jobs, so my schedule tends to be open and very flexible for caring for your pets, whether it be on weekdays or the weekend. For pet care at your home, I will prioritize sticking to whatever routine keeps you and your pets comfortable and happy! I know how stressful it can be when family members aren't home, and will do whatever your pets need to know that they are safe and loved even in your absence. If your dog comes to stay at my house, you can take comfort in knowing they'll have access to a fully fenced back yard to run and play in, so they are secure and entertained. My dog, Melon, LOVES other dogs and nothing would make her happier than a new friend coming over to hang out with her.
“Kristina was amazing with Bear! Very accommodating with the short notice and the communication, we will definitely be leaving Bear again in the future. Her knowledge and love for dogs shows in their care. Thank you Kristina!”
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 am currently doing pet care full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and open. I am available throughout the day for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-in visits, seven days a week. This open availability means I can easily accommodate your dog’s specific routine, feeding times, and potty schedule without rush. Whether you need a reliable midday walker while you are at the office, or a flexible sitter for last-minute weekend plans, I am here to provide consistent, dedicated care when you need it most. 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.
“Tiago is a wonderful dog sitter. Our 7 month old bernedoodle puppy is very high energy and he is very patient and kind to her. He is obviously a dog lover. He is also very organized and always has all of her toys and stuff packed up at pick up time. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and Maggie loves going to visit him and his lovely family.”
“Our dog easily warmed up with Steph the first time she met her! Steph was great and so accommodating. We agreed to an out of town trip and had to leave early and Steph, with no hesitation, accepted our booking. She really took good care of our dog, that our fur baby went home happy that day. We will use her services again in the future!”
“11 month puppy stayed for daycare . She enjoyed running around with other dogs who stayed on that day.Mrs. Mary shared picture right after I drop her to let me know Mochi is ok without mom! At the end of daycare I got 3-4 pictures with coment”
About: I pride myself on my strong sense of responsibility and scheduling discipline, meaning I will always be on time for walks and strictly follow your pet's specific care instructions.

I treat every single pet as if they were a part of my own family, making sure they are completely safe and comfortable. You can count on me for regular updates, quick communication, and lots of love for your furry best friend! As a college student taking online classes this summer, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the freedom to manage my own time. I am a very physically active person who loves exercising and going on long walks. Since I live surrounded by beautiful green areas, I can easily incorporate energetic walks and outdoor playtime into my day, ensuring your pet gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Whether your pet needs early morning attention, midday visits, or evening companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there whenever they need me most. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and strict adherence to routine are my top priorities. I am highly organized and disciplined, so I follow all feeding, medication, and cleaning instructions exactly as requested to maintain a stress-free environment. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times, and I keep a close eye on the pet's body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I love exploring the surrounding green trails for long, safe walks, always keeping dogs securely leashed. You will receive regular updates and photos, giving you total peace of mind knowing your home is respected and your pet is receiving dedicated, loving care.
“Olivia was great! It was our first time leaving someone with our little 3 month old puppy and she was so responsive and was always communicating to me throughout the day. She was super sweet and so helpful, I knew exactly what my pup was up to and she would always let me know how he did. She was so caring and Rocky loved playing with her dog, Paco. She even helped teach him sit, worked on the crate training and potty training, we definitely got very lucky with her. She was amazing and we will definitely use her again when needed :)”
About: The phrase man’s (or woman’s) best friend is extremely fitting for me! I connect so well with animals, and have always been a reliable source for family, friends, neighbors, and more! I have dog walked, pet sit for cats and dogs, and taken care of pets (including my own dog) since I was 10 years old. Animals are a huge part of my life and I want to surround myself with them more! I currently am a sports photographer so I only go in at most once per week to capture photos and videos, and then I edit at home. Sometimes it gets lonely, so I would absolutely love to take care of a pet whenever I can! I have a perfect dog park in my neighborhood, a nice walking path where sometimes there are other furry friends out for walks so we can meet them if they are interested, and a cozy home that welcomes any pet!
“Sue has been watching our pup Archie for a while with her daughter and does an amazing job. She treats him like her own giving us piece of mind that our pup is safe and happy while we are at work. We also appreciate the socialization he’s gotten meeting some other pups while at day care. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sue to anyone!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and absolutely adore all of them! I’ve used Rover in Florida for years when I lived there and recently moved to Chicagoland area and would love to start back up again here. I am a full time stay at home mom and work just 2 days a week so I have pretty good availability. We have a young mastiff mix, Titus, who is a huge baby and loves to play with other dogs. He’s still getting used to our cats but he just wants to play all the time. I’ve walked and watched dogs at my home of all breeds and sizes. I have also done many drop in visits for kitties as well. If you’re at work and need a walk or going on vacation and need a sitter, I can do it all :) I’d love to help you out with any of your fur babies when you need it! I’m currently a full time stay at home mom and work just 2 days a week so I have pretty open availability for any of your pet watching/walking/sitting/daycare needs! Our animals are never short of any lovin. Between me, my significant other, our teenager or 7 year old, they get lots of attention! And we would love to give your fit baby all the love as well! If it’s just a walk, I can walk and play, cuddle, pet, feed, whatever yours and your pets needs may be! We have a playful doggo in our home and would love to have visitors whether it’s just for a day for daycare or extended period. They’ll get nice walks and lots of attention. Our pup goes in the crate when we aren’t home and would prefer if your dog be crated or gated off when we would be away as well. I’m home nearly all day other than errands here and there and work 2 days a week. So your fur baby will receive lots of attention!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've had 9 dogs throughout my childhood and growing up, so caring for them comes naturally to me. From energetic puppies to older dogs needing extra patience and attention, I've experienced it all. I genuinely loveee spending time with dogs, learning their personalities, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets because they know I treat every dog as if they were my own. For me, pet care isn't just a responsibility...it's something I truly enjoy and miss. I'm a graduate student with a very flexible schedule and it's summertime now too!!! It allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I'm happy to work around their routine. I understand how important consistency and care are for pets, and I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I always take the time to make pets feel safe and comfortable around me and follow any instructions provided by their owners carefully.

I have lots of personal experience with my own pets, along with experience with dog watching and walking dogs outside my family dog. I grew up living with dogs and have always had a passion for animals and would love to be able to take care of peoples furry friends. I have a part time job currently so weekdays would be best since some shifts I get off in the afternoon so most evenings I’m free so if I know in advanced when people need me that would be great to work around my schedule. Some mornings I am also free. We have a big back yard but it does not have a fully fenced in yard due to our garage but it is safe and we have a leash to attach dogs too so they can be safe while also roaming in the yard. We also have a dog bed too. Not many toys because our dog is getting older but we can provide treats if needed and make sure they have everything they need. They will also have a furry companion which is our dog Bella. Whenever I watch a dog at someone else’s home I make sure to check and see what instructions they leave for me, make sure they are fed and let outside, and also make sure they are played with.

“YAQI took such great care of our Latte! She was very attentive and thoughtful, and she sent us lots of photos every day so we always knew how Latte was doing. He was so happy staying with her, and we felt truly at ease the entire time. We will definitely book with YAQI again the next time we.”
“Kaylee was super great!! Edy loved staying there and got tons of energy and excitement out too! We got tons of pictures from her overnight and lots of updates. Our dog came home super happy and tired!”
“Hannah is an amazing full-time dog caregiver! She can handle anything and her schedule allows her to be super flexible with her clients. Our pup started an antibiotic 3 days before our trip, and she was able to take him, administer all the meds and keep him sequestered until he was no longer a health hazard. In addition, our flight was canceled and she kept C for an extra day at the same rate. We are confident in her abilities and her love for our dog.”
“Michelle was great and went completely out of her way to pick up meds for our dog and administer while we were out on vacation. Always nice knowing your pets are with someone who truly cares for their well-being.”
“Christine took excellent care of our sweet pup, Flora. We needed her help for 16 days while we were on a vacation, and she was so helpful, kind, and thoughtful. We appreciated the photos and quick responses to asks, questions, and concerns. We were able to drop off when needed and pick up on our own schedule. Christine made leaving our girl much easier. Thank you for making Flora feel at home.”

“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”
