Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wheaton
“the perfect place for a pup! my dog seemed to have the most fun time and was immediately snuggling with the family :) they made him (and myself) feel so comfortable and safe! I will definitely be coming back :)”
“Ashley is a wonderful pet sitter that really goes up and beyond! Our Ruby received so much attention, play time and walks. Ashley was great about sending us photos & videos too. We would gladly rebook with her. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“Matt and Michelle are absolutely incredible dog people and people people! Genuinely so caring and loving, my dog makes herself right at home whenever she’s there. THANK YOU MATT AND MICHELLE FOR EVERYTHING!!”
“Kaya has stayed here a couple times and all went well. She enjoyed her stay, interacting with other dogs, and Lynda's nice back yard. Regular updates with video were great. We felt Kaya was very safe in Lynda's care. Lynda is very organized making drop offs and pick ups very easy.”
“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”
“I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We were a little nervous to leave our little Penny for an entire week, but Courtney and her family put us right at ease immediately. They were very accommodating to keep Penny’s sleep routine with her crate, and sent pictures and notes twice a day that made our family feel not so far away from our sweet dog. It was such a relief to see her get so much love and playtime with their dog and children. We will gladly use Courtney again should we ever need!”
“Elise and her pupster Maude are the best. Lots of photos, fun outings and Josie was exhausted when I got home allowing me to get in some post vacation rest too! Josie can’t wait to go back!”
“I had never boarded my little 13 year old dog. When I had my Meet and Greet with Eric, Mollie jumped up next to him and cuddled. I knew then that she picked Eric. I was gone for a week over the 4th of July and Eric took amazing care of her even with the fireworks. As far as I am concerned I will never leave her with anyone else when I need a sitter.”
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Nina has a gentle way with dogs. Nina works with my dog, Nella when Nella boards with Nina. Nella is always a little better behaved after I pick her up. Nina shows a level of care and concerned that is unmatched. I feel comfortable that Nella is getting great care when I'm away. A wonderful place to board my dog.”
“Robyn went well out of her way to make me feel comfortable about leaving my dog with her for the first time. She emailed me videos almost every hour showing me how well my dog was adjusting and her interactions with the other pet boarders. She truly loves what she does and is a caring compassionate pet-owner. She understands dogs very well, which made me feel confident in leaving my very anxious Yorkie-Poo with her.”
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“Rosie's love and care for our two dogs, Charlie and Peanut, was excellent. We boarded our ten-year-old special-needs dog (Peanut) and our fourteen-year-old senior dog (Charlie) for a few days with Rosie. She was able to administer medications and handle the different needs of each dog. We also greatly appreciate the help of Rosie's little dog, Bella and her daughter, Ruby. We have already booked a second boarding stay with Rosie due the confidence we have in her care for our doggies. Hooray!”
“Yoda came home very content. By the pictures Amanda and Anton sent he looked like he was getting spoiled and was happy about it. They did a wonderful job taking care of Yoda”
“Judy was so sweet with Gin while he stayed there for over a week. She made sure he had plenty of care and attention and took him for walks every day. Loved all the regular updates on how he was doing and would highly recommend!”

Cat caregivers near you - Wheaton
“Heather once again went above and beyond. We had trouble with our nest connection and our downstairs was freezing. We have a new fish that was in cold water and almost dead. She took action to move the tank and refill with some warmer water and saved our fish! She also took fabulous care of our cat as she always does. I’d highly recommend Heather for any pet sitting needs!”
“Vivian was great, great comms, flexible timings and everything was great when we were back. She even managed to make friends with one of our very shy cats. Thanks Vivian!”
“Dana was so great with my kitty who loves and needs attention. She got some outdoor time to out her little feet in the grass and lots of cuddles and belly rubs. Would definitely recommend Dana and will absolutely use her again!!”
“Victoria was great. She took care of our kitties, making sure to play with them each day. She let us know through photos and reports that Ivy and Mazzy were happy and healthy. They seemed to really enjoy her company.”
“Kelly was wonderful! She connected with our cats right away and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care while we were away for 2 weeks. She followed all the directions for caring for them in our home and was incredibly responsive and accessible via the Rover app. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Beth is wonderful, we highly recommend her, and will continue to book with her! She is quick to respond to our requests, timely and attentive to checking in with us and taking care of all 5 critters (3 cats and 2 big dogs). She gives everyone what they need, walks, love, kitty box care. Our pets eat raw food and she is willing to take care of all that is involved in that process, thank you Beth!”
“Annika is so wonderful! I could not have asked for better care for my girl. I’m so thankful for her help and I know Wink was happy to see her everyday!”
“I’ve had a great experience with Catherine, and I feel confident that my kitty is taken care of when I am gone for a few days. I love the photos and updates she sends, and I’m so glad I found her.”
“Barbara was wonderful with our cats while we were away on vacation. She sent daily updates on how they were doing along with several pictures. It really helped to ease our worries about leaving them. We have a nervous little cat who can sometimes be aggressive and within a couple of days Barbara had won over trust. It was obvious to us that she truly cared about our cat’s wellbeing while we were gone. I would not hesitate to book her again for our next vacation.”
“Sarah did a fantastic job with my two cats. We did 30 minute drop in visits and she was on-time and made sure to take the time to not just check food and water but to give the cats some playtime and attention. One of my cats required extra care and she handled that no problem. Would absolutely book with Sarah again!”
“Jordan gives us so much peace of mind when we're out of town! Her attentive care for our kitties always comes through in her detailed and enthusiastic updates :) Definitely our preferred pet sitter when she has the availability for our kitties!”
About: I’m a dependable cat sitter who truly enjoys caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I understand how important routines and familiar spaces are for cats, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I have experience with kittens and senior cats, and I’m happy to provide care, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is happy and well cared for.
“Agnieska provided kind and gentle care to our deaf, geriatric cat. He soon warmed up to her and when she came to drop off keys, he wanted pets from his new friend— it was clear he trusted her. We enjoyed Agnieska’s daily reports complete with photos. It was great to see each day how playful & trusting he was with her, flipping on his side as he does when he wants to be petted & brushed. We wholeheartedly recommend Agnieska!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wheaton
“Justine is so compassionate with my dog. She assured me he would be at home and he is. I appreciate the interaction her family and cats with my pup. He comes home happy and tired. I highly recommend Justine.”
“Victoria always provides a safe and fun environment for my little Luna. Luna always comes back happy after spending time with Victoria and her furry babies! I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve owned both cat and dog, I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for fetch and other games, I love making sure that pets get the love and attention they deserve! My schedule is fairly flexible, I am available to take care of your pets in the afternoons, and weekends. I am available full-time in the summer months I enjoy taking care of pets in your home, or in my 1/2 acre, fenced-in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play. I like to make sure that dogs are mentally challenged with puzzles and obedience training!
About: Hi! I am Monika and I currently live in Platt Park area. I am free most weekends and I absolutely love all animals especially dogs! I will take care of your dog like it is my own. I know how hard it is to leave your dog alone all day or while on vacation and I would love to help out to make their day more special. I volunteer at Dumb Friends League animal shelter as a dog walker and I have always had dogs in my life except for right now. I am friendly, responsive and like to be outdoors. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a wonderful day!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and am a true dog lover! My wife Brenda has cared for dogs for years as well! Your dog will be well taken care of and given all the belly rubs! I’m 100% full time work from home. My wife Brenda is also mostly work from home. We are available all day to provide love and attention to your pup, including but not limited to playtime in the yard and walks around the neighborhood!

“Joey, our dog, felt very comfortable immediately as soon as she saw Ingrida. We were happy that she was very flexible to accommodate our obstacles. They have a very nice family environment. Thanks for caring for our dog with special needs.”
“I bring my Doberman puppy to Karissa and couldn't be happier. Because of Karissa, her household, and her "pack", my puppy is so very happy, calm and socialized around cats, dogs, children, and people out in public. I get adorable updates from her which cheer me up while I'm away at work. Each morning as I pull up to her house my puppy starts barking excitedly and literally runs to her front door. At the end of the day he doesn't want to leave. Not only does she take care of his daily needs, but she goes the extra mile taking him out to stores that allow puppies such as Home Depot for extra socialization. Some people think that having my puppy go to day care is an extravagance, but these months are critical in the emotional development of all dogs. He is going to be my companion for the next 12 or 13 years. Thanks to Karissa, he is going to be wonderful”
“Ashley provides a wonderful experience for our dog Bruno every week. All of Bruno’s friends are there each week and the socialization he gets with other dogs is invaluable and cannot be replaced. Thanks to Ashley for the great work she does with Bruno and his buddies!”
“This was Rusty’s first experience with day care and he loved it! Karen has a wonderful way with pups and we were totally confident leaving Rusty with her. We were comfortable all day because we left him with someone who is loving and competent. We will definitely be back!!”
About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.
About: We’ve provided care for both our own and others' pets since we were children. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted us to feed, water, play with, walk, and board their pets when they travel. Having lived both in the country and in town, we have both loved and cared for our own and others' cats and dogs for several years in several environments. We both have flexible working schedules, especially in the summer. We have plenty of time to devote to your beloved pet and are used to juggling multiple tasks. My husband and I live in a three bedroom house in Carol Stream, just outside Wheaton. We have a large yard with a 3-sided fence in which pets would be very safe with proper supervision. Pets would be welcome to lay and sleep wherever they are most comfortable - on our furniture, in one of our two beds, or in their own beds or crates. We are animal lovers and have had our own animals in our home. We have welcomed many a new pet into our home, so your pet would receive our love and care while staying at our home.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and I’m comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I can help with walks, feeding, and making sure your dog is safe and well taken care of. I’m responsible, patient, and I will follow your instructions closely. I can also send updates if needed. I’m available and flexible with my schedule. 🐾🐕🦺❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m available most of the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can also accept last-minute bookings when needed. I make sure pets are always safe and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and any routines the dog is used to. I keep a clean and calm environment and always make sure doors and gates are secure. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything as I found it. I pay attention to the dog’s behavior and needs, and I can send updates if requested so owners feel at ease.
“Judy was great with our little girl. It was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and Judy made us feel comfortable. She planned a meet and greet so we could see her place and she could meet us and our pup. Thanks to this, when we went over for the actual appointment, our puppy went right over to her with no worries. Judy also sent us photos and updates a few times during the day so we could be comfortable with how things were going. She took our puppy for multiple walks and let her follow her around so she was very comfortable. We will definitely reach out to Judy again the next time we need a sitter.”
“I can’t believe how lucky I am to have found Jean and Al. They treat my Emmie like their own and spend every minute of the day loving her. They are reliable, kind, trust-worthy, and the most amazing dog people you will ever find. They have been watching my girl during the weekdays while I work and there is no one else I would trust quite as much with the job. I love them!”
“Super happy with our experience with Esha and Vineeth. Esha always replied promptly which was so reassuring. I also loved getting regular picture updates throughout the day. Our doggo was taken outside for breaks which was awesome, and she was super flexible with pick up and drop off times. Miko was so well cared for - we will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“Robbyn its AMAZING!! She was Beyond incredible with my little Molly! Always keeping me updated with her activities and breaks! She very loving and truly cares about the health and happiness of your pet! I’ll definitely keep booking her for the future because molly loved her so much!”
“This was our 2nd stay with Kim for our German Shepherd and Shiba Inu. My pups had a great visit and were socialized with two other dogs during their stay. Kim sent us photos regularly. I highly recommend using Kim for your pet sitting needs!”
“I have brought my dog, Lexi over to Sarah’s many times now for doggy daycare. Lexi comes home exhausted and content. Sarah keeps in contact all day and sends the cutest pictures of her kids playing with my dog. Very happy customer here, no complaints!”

About: My wife, son and I have taken care of pets our entire lives. Currently, we have only one elderly cat with special medical needs. Recently retired, we would love to adopt a dog but our frequent travel (to visit grandchildren) makes that a challenge. That travel helps us understand the stress and anxiety of leaving a pet in the care of others. We enjoy walking and playing with dogs (and cats!) and enjoy being in our yard, which opens to a field in the back, perfect for fetch. We will fill the day with a lot of activity and attention in a safe and secure environment. We are home full time and will have plenty of opportunity for walks, play time and potty breaks. During the school year, but my wife and I are home... and in summer months, our young-adult son will help as well. We have a spacious yard but it is not fenced so we would keep your dog on a long leash while outside. At night, we can easily crate, depending on the pet-parents preferences.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my day! I love to walk dogs in the northwest suburbs. I am an elementary teacher and I also have 4 years of experience bathing dogs at PetSmart. I am currently working part time, so I have good availability to walk your dog(s)! I am most available in the summer. Dogs dogs dogs! I am a calm and lively person who can make your pets feel safe and happy. I have experience in the pet industry so I know a lot of tips and tricks for working with animals.
“Sydney was fantastic! And it makes going away so much easier knowing that Mia is in good hands with someone who meets Mia as she is and is patient as Mia takes her time to warm up”
“It’s our first time having someone walk our 5 months old puppy, and Nicole was super nice, communicative and respectful to our puppy ( we had very bad experience with the dog care in Schaumburg). Nicole was above and beyond and our puppy was very happy with her, that’s everything we wanted.”

“I was very nervous about leaving my finicky cat somewhere she wasn't familiar with, but Deb and her family were so great with her. I received daily updates and they allowed her to do things on her own terms, which cats really need to become acclimated to a new space. My cat is definitely not the easiest cat around, but they really loved on her and made it work. Definitely would recommend!”
“Beth was wonderful! Very reliable, responsible, and great with communication. She also sent pictures while on trio of my puppies and fast responses to my messages. I would highly recommend Beth based on not just her being so great with pets but also because she is very caring and genuine with not only the pets but the owners too which made us feel very comfortable. She was and is the best! We will be having her for any trips watching our puppies in the near future!”
“I know Zoe is in good hands when she stays with Darrilyn! Her son is so great with my dog, too. Lots of cuddles and love in this home away from home. I’ve booked 3x and refer friend to Darrilyn, also. So glad to have found her here!”
