“I loved leaving my Yogi at JoAnne’s. She was very welcoming, anxious to make sure I was comfortable with her house and her puppy and she had a calm friendly manner. Yogi ran right in, met her dog and started playing, JoAnne sent me several very cute pictures of Yogi playing and resting, so I could see that he was having a good time. I would hire her again if she is available.”
“Dickson is a very caring dog sitter. He did everything he could to make my bulldog feel comfortable and have fun. He gives video and picture updates of their adventures. I would absolutely have him watch my dog again!”
“Thank you Elaina and Joseph for allowing me to book with a short notice and for being very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Communication was excellent, constant updates and pictures, and great care. You'll definitely be my sitter of choice when I'm in the area. Thank you!!”
“June did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! She was very prompt in response time, and was very attentive and sent updates and multiple pictures while she took care of my pup. Thank you so much, June!”
“Stella and her family hosted my Nora (border collie/husky) for 27 days, and I could not be happier. Nora was clearly very happy and integrated well with the family. I received frequent text updates, and never had to worry about my dog's well-being. Stella's fenced back yard is a huge asset. There were a few bumps early on a Nora acclimated to their home, but Stella and her family were very patient with her. I appreciate that so much!”
“Judy was absolutely wonderful to work with for our dog Simba. We felt comfortable and relaxed to leave him for an extended time for the first time. We could also tell that Simba really enjoyed his time with Judy and Bill. They made him feel right at home, and took such thoughtful and attentive care of him!”
“Carolyn took amazing care of our pup while we were out of town for 10 days! Her communication is exceptional and she send lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay. We know that our dog is in good hands when we go out of town and leave him with Carolyn! Highly highly recommended, we could not be happier about having such a reliable sitter for our pup!!”
“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.”
“I used Carla for the first time and I will definitely use her again. My dog is extremely active and gets bored easily (can't trust him alone in the house). Carla sent me videos and pictures of him playing with her golden and he had a great time and was active all day. We just came home and he is super tired just relaxing by my feet. Thank you for watching him Carla!”
“Angela (and her husband Dave) took such good care of Zoe! This was our first time leaving Zoe with someone else and they really made it easy for us. She sent us pictures often and sent me updates on Zoe. She really made me feel at ease! We’ve already booked another stay over the holidays.”
“Jacob was great. He is very accommodating, his communication is excellent and you can tell he truly loves dogs. Jacob sent us nice daily updates and photos and made sure our dogs felt at home. His dog is very friendly and made it fun for our dogs to stay with them. We will definitely use Jacob again!”
“This was my first time meeting Debbie and she did a fantastic job with our black labrador! I can tell he enjoyed his almost full-week stay with Debbie! She is wonderful and I will be seeking her for pet care services in the future.”
“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”

“My kids and I loved the detailed daily reports - and especially getting pictures every day! Amanda did a fantastic job with my girls, and I am glad to have found someone who I can trust to take care of them when I can't!!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs since I was little and have loved every second. I was always helping out my family’s and neighbor’s pets - and now I finally got my own puppy in August of 2025. Trained him all on my own and he is the sweetest boy! I work at a kindergarten with special education during the school year. Once June hits, I will be officially out for summer break and plan on focusing all my attention on Rover. I will have all the time on my hands to drop in and take care of your pets! My 10 month old dachshund is very well taken care of. He is my pride and joy - always getting all the cuddles and exercise he needs. I believe that all pets require the same love and attention that humans do and I treat them with that idea in mind.
“Doug was excellent - did a pre-visit and asked a number of questions to make sure he knew exactly what to do. He also sent photos during the visit so I could see the cats were doing well too. Will be requesting another series of visits!”

About: Got my first cat when I was 10 and I’ve loved them ever since. I’m well versed in cat health and wellness, have experience with kittens 3 weeks old to senior cats 13+ years old. I’ve dewormed foster kittens, so I’m comfortable with medicine. My own cat has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (wobbly cat syndrome), so I’m familiar with litter box issues and specialized feeding. I’m also known as a nail clipping wizard among family and friends! Can’t wait to meet your kitties <3
“Amazing as always! My husband and I enjoy our trips so much more now that we have Kati looking after our kitty family! She is the best cat sitter that we’ve ever had. Anyone who hires Kati is lucky to have her!”

About: I am a retired high school educator, artist, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover. I am a five-star walker and a very reliable and compassionate caregiver for your pet. I often feel we are kindred spirits and I am totally intrigued by their individual personalities. I have cared for dogs both personally or professionally for most of my life and willingly care for your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be exploring adventure, padding the neighborhood (walking or running), gifting belly rubs, or providing hydration & nutrition, your pet’s needs will be personalized while in my care with much love and affection. In the future, I hope to rehabilitate dogs and work with their family members to provide a safe space filled with discipline, affection, and a true sense of belonging. You can depend on me and trust that your pet will feel cherished and loved while in my care. Since retiring from teaching, my hours of 1:1 attention have expanded. I am now available to give full weekday hours to your pet in addition to my time during weekends. While caring for pets in parks and neighborhoods, I keep them on a leash during all walks and runs. If we are lounging in the yard I provide the dog an opportunity to relax on a lead while I am outdoors with them. For owners who allow their dogs to visit Lakewood Dog Park’s expansive exercise area, I monitor those dogs while they run and play off leash under my constant supervision. While indoors, I follow the rules that my pet owners prefer whether it be cuddling on furniture and slumbering in bed with me or crating them within their cozy caves with their favorite snuggle toy. I do everything I can to mirror the eating, playing, and napping comfort with the same positive experiences your pet receives in your living home while throwing in a little extra spoiling 🐶❤️🐶
“Lindsey was an awesome sitter and my cats loved her. Communication and coordination was a breeze. I received daily updates and awesome photos of my cats. I trust her with my pets and would definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!
About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.
“Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!”
“Just pleasant. I kind of immediately knew I would trust her. And I did. And I picked up a happy dog! I'm also very happy that her and my dog get along very well, which is an extra plus :-). What else can I ask for? 😁”
“Anastasia did a great job watching Yogi, she sent photos and when he was hungry, she checked with me before feeding him since I had not given him food to have at her house. I thought that was very responsible an I would hire her againa.”
“Monica and Eric were absolutely fantastic! The took the time to talk with us on a meet and greet a few days before we dropped our dog off. Our little guy had a great time with them and they sent multiple picutures thoroughout the day. We will definitely be using them in the future!”

“Alesia and ger family were super sweet with Mishka! They let him borrow a tennis ball to play fetch because I forgot to bring his. Her daughter even drew a beautiful picture of him and she is the most talented!! He came home happy and tired.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and wouldn’t have it any other way. My spouse and I absolutely love animals and taking care of furry pets that need a place to stay. We have two dogs of our own, Meringue (8 pounds, a Coton) and Moose (12 pounds, a Pekingese mix) We have taken care of dogs for friends, families, and have also fostered dogs. We believe and understand that dogs are family members and trusting them with others is a big decision. We treat our boarding experience the way we would like to receive it for our pups. We do this by providing consistent communication and updates to you (how are they’re acclimating, eating/drinking, playful, on their potty schedules, etc) and being responsive to questions. The ideal boarding situation would keeping your pups normal routines in place, just in a different setting so it doesn’t throw off their schedules completely. We strive for consistency for your furry family members in a happy, safe, and vacation like setting for them. *Note - we are accepting small to medium dogs only at this time. Max 30 pounds. Both my spouse and I work from home. We are able to accommodate and ensure the dogs are taken care of and kept to schedule. We take safety very seriously. We will not walk more than 2-3 dogs at a time. We have puppy gates and areas for them that are safe and can provide them room to roam and play. When they are outside we keep them on leash and have a watchful eye to ensure their safety.
“Jean was so friendly and welcoming. She kept in touch frequently with updates and photos, which put our minds entirely at ease while we were away. Our dog had a good time while her stay at Jean’s. Most importantly she came back happy. We will definitely book her again”
“Christine is awesome! So friendly and responsive, and my pup seemed very comfortable and not stressed at all, despite this being his first visit with Christine. Will definitely be returning in the future! 🐶🐾”

My goal is to maintain comfort, structure, and security while you’re away.
“Carolyn was amazing! She took our large dog Belle at a last minute request for doggy daycare and was very thorough to make sure she had all the information and tools needed to watch her. Carolyn was very sweet and kind from start to finish with us and Belle. I felt very comfortable leaving Belle with her and would do so again in a heartbeat. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m Delaney and I hope to be your new pet sitter. I’ve been caring for cats, dogs, and other animals since I was young. I have volunteered at animal shelters, fostered kittens, and pet sat for friends/family. I have a disabled cat myself, so I’m used to providing specialized care. I grew up with pets that needed daily medication, so I feel confident in that skill as well. Looking forward to caring for your babies as if they were my own! I work part-time so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets. I can drop in twice a day or more, depending on my schedule and what you’re looking for. Caring for your pets is a huge responsibility and I assure you that I will prioritize them as my own. You can trust that I will treat your pets as my own. I will spend as much time loving on them as they are comfortable with, but if they are shy or territorial to a stranger in their space, I will respect that too. I will keep everything tidy when it comes to your pet. Nobody wants to come home to a stinky house!
About: I’m known to host pups while my friends are out for the evening or for the weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be lounging or going for a walk! I’m currently working from home and love having a furry companion during my daily walks. I love cuddling up with a dog and watching reality tv on weeknights. The community I live in has a dog park and trails nearby to provide pups with plenty of movement, sunlight, and quality time in and outside the home.
About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I had two labs growing up and another lab in my early twenties who I still grieve for today. I currently have no dogs of my own so I pour all my love into my friend’s dogs. The dog I had my twenties had behavioral issues and required patience and understanding in a short amount of time he went from being withdrawn and antisocial to a complete love bug! I’m unemployed but I take care of my disabled mom. Because of this I have a very flexible schedule. I have always loved dogs and miss having one of my own. I’m always excited to spend time with my friend’s dogs. I don’t plan on boarding any dogs at my own home. With how my mom’s health is now it wouldn’t be a good idea to do so.
About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student taking online classes Monday through Thursday, however, I can be flexible with my schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out to take care of your pets:) I can always make time to help out <3 For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

About: I currently own three dogs, and have had at least one dog for around 7 years. I have also taken care of pets for family friends and neighbors since even before that. I frequently take my dogs for walks, and I have no allergies to any dog or cat breeds. I am looking to get a summer position so be aware that this could change but currently I am very free and flexible just about whenever you need me. I'm able to take your dogs for plenty of walks and give them plenty of playtime as necessary. Ideally I would prefer to care for your pets in your home, but I can also do in my house if desired. I have 3 dogs that could keep yours company, and they are very sweet as well as decently small. I also have a fully fenced backyard to play in and a spare crate if necessary, although it is only big enough to hold a pet of around 15 pounds or so.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and it’s truly my passion, everyone I know trusts me with their furrbabies!

During drop-in visits I will take care to follow all of your requests while making sure your pet feels safe and happy!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — playful pups, mellow seniors, and everything in between. My experience started with helping my sister care for her dogs, and over the years, I’ve walked, fed, and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. I have a quiet home and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, relax, and enjoy the fresh air. With me, your dog will be loved, understood, and truly cared for — just like they deserve. I mostly work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup throughout the day. I’m available for daytime check-ins, boarding, and doggy stays at my place. I can also pick up and drop off your dog if needed — making things easier for you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help. I offer a calm and loving environment with a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need space or lots of cuddles. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine. My goal is always to make your dog feel secure, understood, and cared for — just like they would at home.
“Megan has been wonderful!! We just adopted our new puppy and she has been great with walking him everyday for us. She sends daily reports and we love seeing the pictures she takes. Always so responsive and takes exceptional care of our new family member. We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area that is looking for someone to care for your dog just as you would.”

I’m reliable, responsible, and full of playful energy; I make sure your furry family is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work typically 3-7 Friday through Tuesday at my barista job, so I’m available all other times for walks, playtime, or visits. also willing to go before and after work to make sure your loved one is cared for in the best way possible! I’m not a “guesser”, I’ll always ask you a question if I’m unsure of how you’d care for your pet in a certain situation. I enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos or messages throughout the day, so you can be confident your furry friends are happy, safe, and well cared for. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away.
“Kati was awesome, I highly recommend her...we have two dogs and they have never had a "sitter" stop by to take them on walks. The dogs loved her and she was always on time and flexible when I needed extra walks. Thanks Kati!!!!”
“Ally came to my rescue! I am down with the flu and no way I could walk Gavin, and he needs his walk every day. She came last minute yesterday and again today, Gavin looked forward to seeing Ally today again😊. Thanks, Ally!!”

I currently work remotely and have increased flexibility for scheduling needs. Although I will need to primarily be at home during my working hours I am able to ensure your pets are taken care of in a timely fashion without being left for too long without potty breaks. Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.

Yogi ran right in, met her dog and started playing, JoAnne sent me several very cute pictures of Yogi playing and resting, so I could see that he was having a good time. I would hire her again if she is available.”

I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”
“I used Carla for the first time and I will definitely use her again. My dog is extremely active and gets bored easily (can't trust him alone in the house). Carla sent me videos and pictures of him playing with her golden and he had a great time and was active all day. We just came home and he is super tired just relaxing by my feet. Thank you for watching him Carla!”
“Angela (and her husband Dave) took such good care of Zoe! This was our first time leaving Zoe with someone else and they really made it easy for us. She sent us pictures often and sent me updates on Zoe. She really made me feel at ease! We’ve already booked another stay over the holidays.”
“This was my first time meeting Debbie and she did a fantastic job with our black labrador! I can tell he enjoyed his almost full-week stay with Debbie! She is wonderful and I will be seeking her for pet care services in the future.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life. I love them dearly, my sister in law travels quite often which gives me the opportunity to watch her two dogs. One is a puppy full of energy and they are so fun to spend time with and play. Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“Katerina was incredible with our Coco. I loved the fact that we met prior to booking to make sure it was a fit both ways. We where updated with pics and videos and it looked that our girl was at home. This will be our go to from now on and you should not hesitate to use Katerina”
“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.”
“We have used Melody twice to watch our miniature dachshund, Phoebe. The most recent stay was 7 nights; Melody did an excellent job providing cute photos and videos daily. Phoebe had a fun time going on walks and playing fetch with all of her toys. We would definitely use Melody again!”
“Jill is fantastic!!! Duke had the best time with her and the other dogs. I think he played the entire time because he slept for the whole day when he came home. Must have been like sleep away camp for him. We will definitely be using Jill again.”
