“JoAnne is amazing! She is so good with our dogs and they clearly have a great time there. She sent pictures every day and it really helped seeing how happy our dogs were. She was completely understanding when our flight got cancelled which made the whole ordeal a little better knowing our fur babies were in great hands. We will absolutely use JoAnne 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!!”
“We had a two and a half week vacation planned to Japan and boarded Mochi with Dickson. I'm always quite nervous and anxious whenever I have to leave Mochi anywhere, let alone somewhere for over two weeks, but Dickson was very friendly and made it so I had nothing to worry about! He took care of Mochi really well and sent regular updates. When we picked her up, she came back happy and tired and loved. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”
“Carla was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my dogs - 3 of them none the less- with anyone and I was very nervous but she made me feel so much better and like they were left with family. On top of that, we had recently adopted a new puppy and she willingly took on them all and loved them as I do. She sent me pictures and videos multiple times a day (as she knew I was nervous) and my family and I loved seeing how happy they were and how loved they were. We are already planning to use her for our summer vacation. Highly recommend using Carla for your pups if you want them loved and cared for ❤️”
“Stella and her family were great with the pups and provided daily pictures and updates! Stella was great with making sure she understood each dog's individual needs during drop off and had everything ready to go right when we arrived for pickup. A great experience for dogs and humans alike!”
“Danielle and her family took wonderful care of Olly over a holiday weekend. He’s an older dog who is sensitive to his care and surroundings and we are grateful for the careful, thoughtful care Danielle provided!”
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.
“Judy was incredible! She sent pictures everyday. We have never left our dog with anyone but family so we were super nervous. She did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. We will be sure to use her again if needed!”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“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.”

“June is a fabulous calm and aware mother hen. I have an anxious 10 pound dog and she took very good care of her. She was worried about her. I knew my dog was doing well when I saw her tail up rather than between her legs. June sent beautiful photos of her relaxibg at her home. It was worth the hour drive to find someone as attentive and caring as June.”
“Fantastic! She provided regular updates and was so helpful. The backyard was a break place for our dog to be. Would totally have her again and have already booked another time!”

We did a meet up with her prior to our trip so she could meet our dog and get acquainted/ask questions etc. During his stay, they went on lots of walks and had so much play time. Melody goes out of her way to make your pup her number one priority. She had extra toys and even got him treats! She even gave some advice for some of his skin/stomach issues she noticed. Will definitely be bringing our pup back to her!”

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
“First time using Taylor for my shy Himalayan cat. She was very patient and kind with the introduction process and following the details of food, water and clean up. Will definitely use her again with my cat and when I need dog walking in the near future!”
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!”
“Alex did amazing job at taking care of my pet chinchilla!! She spent time playing with him and made sure my chinchilla’s cage was stock up in fresh hay, food, water and toys. 😊”
“Ally is always so great with my cats and even got my really shy cat to trust her very quickly. She is super communicative and trustworthy, and she makes me feel really safe leaving my cats in her care while I'm gone.”
About: Cat Care Experience In addition to my extensive dog‑handling background, I also have experience caring for cats. For three years I had two wonderful cats of my own—a calico named Cuddles and a sweet, gentle cat named Little Bit. They were part of my daily life, and I handled all their feeding, grooming, playtime, and care routines. Although I no longer have cats due to my husband’s allergies, I truly enjoy them and understand their unique personalities, body language, and need for a calm, respectful environment. I’m comfortable with shy cats, affectionate cats, and independent cats alike, and I’m attentive to their cues so they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, or simply offering quiet companionship, I provide the same level of love, intuition, and hands‑on care for cats as I do for dogs.
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 🐶❤️🐶

It was a terrific experience and gives me great peace to know I can work late or plan an adventure and our beautiful pups will be in loving hands. Very grateful.”
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.

“Carolyn was great with Bella and Lincoln. She provided pictures and updates throughout the day. It's comforting knowing our pups were in good hands while we went into Chicago. I'm glad they spent the day having fun and going on walks with Carolyn 😊”
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.

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!

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.
“Carolyn was fantastic with our dog Ace during our 5 day long vacation! She sent daily photos and updates, followed his routine perfectly, gave him plenty of walks and playtime. Ace came home happy, tired, and clearly loved. We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely book Carolyn again soon!”
“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!”
“Fantastic! She provided regular updates and was so helpful. The backyard was a break place for our dog to be. Would totally have her again and have already booked another time!”
“Melody was so awesome! Very responsive and sent tons of pictures and videos of our pup while we were gone. We did a meet up with her prior to our trip so she could meet our dog and get acquainted/ask questions etc. During his stay, they went on lots of walks and had so much play time. Melody goes out of her way to make your pup her number one priority. She had extra toys and even got him treats! She even gave some advice for some of his skin/stomach issues she noticed. Will definitely be bringing our pup back to her!”
“She took such good care of my puppy over night and sent me so many pictures and videos! Stella came back so happy and tired out from all the fun stuff they did!”
“I highly recommend Rusty. Benny stayed with him while I was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. He sent me pictures and updates every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I was especially nervous because Benny has a history of resource guarding, but he handled him very well and everything went smoothly. Benny was well cared for, safe, and happy during his stay. I would def trust him to watch Benny again.”
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 14, and they are part of my love language! I've taken care of and have had a wide variety of pets, dog sizes, and different medical needs. Part of my life's calling is to be with animals and give them all the love. We live on a 7-acre farmette, with land to roam and play, and forest as well. We have a barn that houses 23 free range chickens and ducks. These are also my pets who I love dearly. I have 2 cats, a brother and sister names George and Lucy who are total love bugs. My daughter Teagan is almost 6, and has been around animals since she was a baby. I am currently working full time, 40 hours a week, Monday-Friday. I work remotely from my house on Fridays. I am off on Saturday and Sunday all day. We live on a 7-acre farm in a two-story house with privacy. Our house has plenty of room to accommodate different dog sizes. Our acreage also provides plenty of room for dogs to run and play!
“Debbie and Tom took such great care of our dog Fiona! We received updates and photos, and we felt so comfortable knowing she was safe and loved. Thank you, Debbie and Tom!”
“Edwin and his wife were amazing! It was our puppy’s first time being boarded while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The home is so lovely, with a nice fenced yard for playtime. We got many pics and videos of our pup, who had a great time at Edwin’s. Thank you!”
