“I highly recommend Justine and Brett to care for your dogs. They have a beautiful family of 4 children who showered my two dogs (a Boxer and a mix breed) with love and affection. They came home so tired and content. This was the first time they were away from home so I was a little afraid of how they would act. I was told they behaved and I hope that was true. I would not hesitate for a minute to use Justine and Brett again.”
“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”
“Our dog Marty had a wonderful stay at Maria’s house. He was all smiles when we picked him up. I would recommend Maria to anyone who likes their dog to have fun interacting with other dogs.”
“I want to start by saying I’m no stranger to dog sitters. I’ve been in need for someone to watch my dog many of times and in the past, my sitters have all been pretty good. However, when it comes to Pallvi, I have to say she was absolutely exceptional!! Plenty of checkins thought the sitting, very understanding on pick up and drop off timing, and super competitive pricing! Easily one of the best sitters I’ve gone with this far and I’ll admit I don’t plan on using any other sitter besides her in the future. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! 10/10!!! 😊❤️💯”
“I’m so happy to have left my pup with Robynn over the weekend. She is super nice and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She provided updates (pic and videos) throughout the time my dog stayed with her. We will definitely be working with her again!”
“From the meet and greet to the 6 nights Millie spent with Matthew and Michelle during our vacation, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They are both dog lovers and it definitely shows. Their home is set up beautifully to accommodate a few dogs at a time and they have an amazing back yard for running around and playing. They also took care to feed Millie her additional supplements during meal time. Millie came home exhausted from 6 days of fun. We received several pictures of Millie's adventures while we were gone which gave us all peace of mind that she was in good hands. We highly recommend Matthew and Michelle's care services. We will definitely be back for our future sitting needs.”
“Lynda was absolutely wonderful with Hazel! Hazel is a very anxious dog, so I was nervous about leaving her, but Lynda was incredibly patient and caring. Hazel warmed up to her and looked so comfortable and happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would trust Lynda with Hazel again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Eric is a great pet sitter. As soon as I met him and saw his house and yard, I just felt so calm. I knew he would take good care of my dog. She did have a bad first night but Eric took care of it with aplomb and empathy. I highly recommend Eric.”
“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!”
“Susan, David and their son,Jack, were conscientious caregivers for our dog. They asked questions to make sure they understood her needs and preferences. We received updates with pictures of her walks and outside play. We would highly recommend their service.”
“Could not recommend Jo’Ell more. She was extremely accommodating. Gave frequent updates. Most of all made our dog more comfortable during his stay. Will 100% be coming back to Jo’Ell as my go to Rover!”
“Selena was AMAZING! We have never left our 11 year old dog over night with anyone before, and we were so comfortable leaving Stella with her! She updated us many times and did great with Stella! We could tell how much Stella loved being there. Will be booking again.”
About: Growing up with pets, I learned how important it is to make sure animals feel safe, happy, and cared for especially when their families aren’t home. That has shaped the way I care for pets today: with patience, attention, and the same love I give my own. For over six years, I’ve been the go to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is how personal I make each visit. I take time to understand what makes your pet feel secure and tailor my care to match their routine. My goal is always the same: keep them comfortable, happy, and make your time away as stress‑free as possible. I work a hybrid schedule and live in a pet and family neighborhood, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. My availability is always current, and I’m happy to offer boarding, drop-in visits and dog walking to fit your pet’s needs. My priority is to provide exceptional care for your furry friend! I’ll keep you reassured with plenty of photo updates, ensuring your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific needs, including dietary requirements, medication, potty breaks, walks, etc.
“Courtney and her family saved us when we had a last minute family emergency from our usual sitter over the holidays! She sent photos and updates twice a day, and our dog had a wonderful stay.”
“My dogs love staying at Miss Danielle's! She gives them lots of snuggles and playtime in the backyard. They always come home exhausted for about the next 24 hours after I bring them home! I'm glad we have someone we trust with our fur babys when we're out of town.”
“Deb was great with Stella! She sent daily updates (with pictures!) and let us know how Stella was doing which really set our minds at ease. This was our first time away from our girl. Deb knew that Stella is attached to us and made sure that Stella felt safe and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her and we will use her again!!”
“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.”

About: I have taken care of cats of all kinds since I was young. Neighbors and family members have relied on me to care for their cats with both full day caretaking and short drop in visits. And I have had experience taking care of multiple cats at a time, the more the better! I love playing and running around so I can provide your fur baby with all the exercise and mental stimulation they deserve. Or if your cat is not in an athletic mood, I love to sit and provide all the love and cuddles they could want. I have always loved cats and am so excited for the opportunity to care for your furry friend.
“First time using rover for drop in visits and was a bit anxious to have someone in my apartment, but everything went perfectly. I got photos of my kitty playing every day and came home to her having full food and water + key where discussed.”
“Ashley was always on time and gave very succinct reports of her visits. If I had questions about the visit, she was quick to respond. I might have liked another picture or two included, but that is my only suggestion.”
“Mei Li is a great pet sitter! She loves taking care of our dogs & is on time, responsible & trustworthy. We will continue to use her services whenever possible. Highly recommended!”
“We have booked with Sarah several times and she’s always amazing with my two cats. Litter boxes were clean, plenty of water and food. And lots of play time and cuddle time!”
“Jessica watched our dog for over a week. She asked clarifying questions anytime she needed to and was excellent in her communication with us while we were away. She also takes the best pictures 😊 We would absolutely book 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.”
“The best experience I’ve had with a pet sitter in years! Vivian is so easy to work with, communicates well and eases the stress on traveling pet parents. Mister Cat and I are very fortunate to have found her.”
“Paula did a great job with our two babies. We loved that she came onboard at the very last minute to help us. I tipped her, in gratitude, at the beginning. She’s terrific!!”
“Cristina was always prompt and carried out the requested responsibilities for care of our cat. She shared notes about him and sent pictures. Our cat is not the easiest to interact with and she approached him with the same enthusiasm and care as a cat she would own. I highly recommend Cristina as we will undoubtedly use her again.”
About: I’m a very active sitter, I love to walk, drive, waltz and run. I may also do a hand-drawn portrait of your dog, in addition to making sure they are very well taken care of. c: I love big dogs and lil angels. Afternoon walks, early and late morning strolls, dinner and late night walks are my peak times. A lot of peaks in the day. Weekends are for the birds though. If in your home, I will make sure they stay in the zone you’d like, are well fed and get plenty of outside time. I used to have a dog with allergies so I will make sure they get any medications if needed. In my home as well, we have three very loving people, big open spaces, a nice neighborhood to play.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for family and friends’ dogs while also attending dog training classes to better understand their needs and behavior. As the proud owner of two very spoiled cats, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and reliability I give my own. I currently work full-time (9-5) which gives me flexibility to perform pet care before and after work, as well as the weekends! I have my own car so transportation is never a problem I am very comfortable caring for pets in the home and love to take dogs on walks. I have experience with most domesticated animals and am willing to learn how yours wants to be cared for.
About: Hi! I am a 19 year old lifelong dog owner! Over the course of my life I have owned and taken care of around 20 dogs and 2 cats. Since I have taken care of so many different dogs I have experience with a very wide range of breeds and ages! I have had many dogs from puppies all the way into their senior years. These breeds of dogs consist of German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, Pit Bull, Jack Russel, Chihuahua, Shihtzu, Corgi, Lab mixes, Bernese Mountain dogs and various mutt mixes. I also have around 2 years of experience working at Pet Supplies Plus and caring for the in-store fostered cats daily as well as the small animals and birds. I have a wide range of experience with differently tempered cats because of this and the small animals I took care of consisted of Syrian hamsters, dwarf hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, parakeets, and cockatiels! I also have a lot of knowledge of pet care products to assist you with your pets specific needs! I am currently in college majoring in photography! Thankfully my classes are all evening classes that start at 6pm, Tuesday-Thursday (I am unavailable fridays) so I will have from around 9:30 AM until 5:30 PM daily to care for your companions! I currently have three dogs, one being a Belgian Malinois, one a German Shepherd and the third a Pitbull mutt mix. I also have a fenced in backyard that they play in daily! I am absolutely experienced in the different energy levels and care that dogs may need!
“Would definitely use Glen again! He was kind, consistent and trustworthy. Took care of our 2 seniors dogs while we were out of town. He was always on time and patient with them. Kept in touch and sent pictures daily, made us feel very comfortable while away.”
“Corrine watched our cat for a week and did a great job. She was very attentive to the things we asked about and responsive to messages. Our cat got comforable around her right away!”
About: TLDR; I treat every pet like the main character. I lost my furbaby to kidney disease in July 2025 and it was absolutely life-shattering. I was so connected to her that she meant the world to me. While I'm not ready for another dog to fulfill my life, I'm ready to open my heart and home to care for your pet. I currently have 2 senior cats in my home. I’ve cared for family members’ dogs and cats over the years, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, enrichment activities, and giving an abundance of affection. Your furbaby gets my full attention and a warm, peaceful home environment. I’m patient, safety-focused, and great at picking up on a pet’s personality—whether they want playtime, snuggles, or a little space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. If you think we'd be a good fit, let's chat! I have an open and flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets attention, regular outdoor time, and consistent routines throughout the day. In my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and safe space. I stick closely to your furbaby's usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel at ease during their stay. I keep a tidy environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I make sure they always have fresh water, cozy spots to relax, and plenty of attention.

“Maria has been a LIFE SAVER for me. I work full time in Chicago and I needed someone who was able to take my dog M-F but I didn't want to bring my dog to an impersonal day care. That's when I found Maria. I really love that Oliver (my dog) is safe in Maria's home and also able to go to the dog park everyday. When I pick him up he is a very happy and tired dog! I could not have asked for a better situation and we consider Maria part of the family. She treats my dog as if he was her own and for that I am so thankful.”
“Justine and Brett were fantastic! By the time I picked up my little pup, he was all tired out from all the attention and playtime they had with him. So grateful to them for watching my pet!”
“Both my pups had a great time. She is very good with my anxious pup as well. She communicated and kept us informed the entire stay. Most importantly the pups felt safe and comfortable with her.”

“We were visiting the area for a conference and wanted to have Bailey close so that she knew we'd come back for her. It takes a while to hear back from the caretaker, and I didn't get photos. However, our Bailey girl seemed just fine when we picked her up, which was a HUGE relief. The separation anxiety was there, but it was not as severe as I had anticipated. . When we come up next year, we will reach out to Barbara again!”
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs and cats ranging in new puppies and kittens to the senior citizens of the pet world. I am currently retired and have a flexible schedule. I am available seven days a week and enjoy getting to know new dogs and cats. I am readily accessible to the Riverwalk for long walks. I have permit for my dog at the DuPage Dog Parks and am very familiar with the parks in the greater Naperville Wheaton area.
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.
“I can honestly say that Ziyang exceeded all our expectations when looking after our dog. She was exceptionally kind, patient and organized. She looked after Aero by making sure she had a structured day that was full of fun. We got loads of pictures and videos about Aero’s day. We definitely be asking her to take care of our fur baby again.”
“Jean and Al did a great job taking care of Ardal and making sure he was happy and safe playing with their other clients. I got back a very happy, very tired puppy. Thanks again!”
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.
“Mike provided outstanding care for our husky and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while we were away. He checked in with us multiple times throughout the day, kept us updated with plenty of photos, and made sure our dog was happy, safe, and well taken care of. We’ve never had such a positive experience with someone watching our dog and it gave us real peace of mind knowing Mike was so attentive and reliable. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for all animals, I come from a long family of dog handlers, I naturally bond with animals and can handle any size dog from all walks of life. Pets are my routine, from walking to playing and enrichment My day is spent making sure the dogs we have are given enough walks, food, and playtime in a safe and loving environment. Our home is a two story pet safe environment with a finished basement, there is ample room for pets to run around, and easy access to food and water as well as local parks and nature walks
“Thank you so much for making my first experience with Rover so easy and awesome. Bob had such a great time and clearly got lots of love all day. I know he looks forward to coming back! See you again soon!”
About: Over the past year, I have been actively pet sitting for friends, caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, litter box care, and following specific instructions to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I used to be an IT professional, retired recently after both my kids graduated from college. Now we are empty-nested with no pets no kids. ☺️ I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet sitting, walking, and playtime. When I am going to run some errands, my husband who is working at home and also a pet-lover will watch the fur baby so he/she is accompanied most of the time. Need a daytime solution for your furry friend? I also provide flexible Doggy Day Care alongside my regular boarding services. For all new clients, the first step is always a Meet & Greet to ensure we're a perfect match for your pup！ My journey into Rover boarding comes from a place of deep love for dogs. After 11 wonderful years together, my beloved dog passed away two years ago. While my heart has healed, I missed the joyful energy, the sound of paws on the floor, and the companionship of a dog in the house. I chose to start pet boarding because it allows me to pour all that lifetime of accumulated love, patience, and spoiling into your furry baby! When your pet stays with me, they won't just be "looked after"—they will be treated with the exact same deep devotion, warmth, and care that I gave my own boy for over a decade. I will only take one pet a time for boarding. Pet will enjoy completely unrestricted, free roam of our home, plenty of one-on-one attention, and a daily routine tailored exactly to their comfort level. Please bring your pets food and treats. If your pet has favorite bed/blanket/toy, bring them, otherwise they can use our dog bed, our sofa and, my bed! Small or medium size dogs (<40 lb).
“Judy was very caring and considerate. This was Roscoe's first time away from us and he was nervous and we were as well! We got pictures and updates during the visit that out out minds and hearts at ease. We would highly recommend Judy!!!”
“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.”

About: We have been around dogs our entire lives and have always felt a deep connection with animals. From fostering and training, to caring for puppies, adult, and senior dogs; it has been a labor of love to nurture and nurture them through their ages, stages, and situations. From golden retrievers, newfoundlands, labradors, pitbulls, dachshunds, border collies, cockapoos, and many other breeds, we've experienced a vast array of shapes, sizes and personalities in our home. Currently, our fur family members are Boulder, our 5 year old Newfoundland boy, and Brick, our 5 month labrador boy. Both of them love other dogs and are socialized and friendly with people as well. Abbie - I am currently working part-time at a restaurant that is very flexible with my hours. I just moved back to the area and do not have too many extracurriculars at this time. Also, I truly enjoy staying busy so would love to accomodate you and your pet's needs any way I can. Karen - My schedule is flexible, as I work at home. Abbie and I rotate our "out of the house" time as best possible to ensure the pups have proper supervision and care. Our dogs have plenty access to the "great outdoors," as I spend the bulk of my days in their continual presence, so their needs are met quickly. We are dog lovers, and safety and love are our priority. We do have two dogs of our own. They are well socialized, and they fully enjoy the company of other dogs. Ideally we like to integrate our guest pups into our little 2 pack, to ensure the most fun and relaxed atmosphere for all. We do have crates available if nap time/down time away from the others is needed. Our 5 year old Newfoundland, Boulder, is a gentle giant, who is extraordinarily patient and friendly. Our 5 month old yellow lab, Brick, is a sweetheart, and still a growing puppy. He has lots of energy and is a quick learner, eager to please, and up for lots of play. He does like his naps, as does Boulder, so we do have a healthy ebb and flow to the rhythms of life here. We have a 4 foot fence around our backyard with about half an acre of land to run around in. We also have a very safe neighborhood that only has one entrance, so there are few cars. With over a mile of sidewalks, there are plenty of sniffing opportunities when we are out on our walks. Since we do have a current puppy in our home, our house is puppy proof. Our pantry door stays shut 24/7, there are no poisonous plants nearby,all cords and wires are tucked away, and no shoes are left out. If you would rather have us care for your dog in your home, we are very conscientious, of the routines and guidelines you set out for us.
“Sarah was wonderful. She was very prompt. Always sent a picture and a report. Our Sally was very happy to see her. Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our senior dog.”
About: Se habla español / すこしにほんごをしっています I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from wild puppies to gentle seniors. With experience handling both small and large dogs, I know how to balance fun, structure, and patience to help every pup feel safe and happy. I own a high-energy Portuguese Water Dog and grew up with calm, funny pugs, so I’m comfortable adapting to all personalities, energy levels, and sizes. My schedule is flexible and I can work around most pup’s schedules and needs. I am unavailable on Tuesdays, but available the rest of the week! My motto is to always love and care for others as if it was my own, no matter the personality or need. They are like people: they need intentionality, care, attention, and love, and some of the ways I try to incorporate that into my regular care is by wiping their paws and mouth with dog safe wipes after a walk/outdoor time. My dog is like my son to me, and I want to offer the same kind of love and care to those that might need extra help with walks throughout the week.
“Annika was great at communicating with us before the scheduled walk/play and throughout the day to let us know how our sweet pup was doing. We will surely ask her to help us again!”
About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

“Crissy has been helping us for many weeks now and we love her! Our three dogs can be a handful, but I always know they are in good hands with Crissy. I know this is like my third review. But seriously- if youre looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and with the perfect calming energy for your dogs- Crissy is the best choice.”

About: Hi! I’m Karilyn! Dogs have always been important members of my family. I have experience managing daily pet care, safety, and offering attention. I am most experienced with larger dog breeds, but am familiar with breeds of all sizes and shapes. I prefer to not be out after dark, but am pretty flexible walk-by-walk. Otherwise my availability is as marked. If we’ve established a good relationship, I’m happy to be flexible! On walks, safety is my number one priority. This means secure leashes, alertness to both the environment and the individual dog. This also means catering to sensitivities and preferences of the owner AND the dog. I love to interact with animals, and understand their signals and boundaries. It also important that the pets in my care are hydrated and feeling well after spending time with me.
“Ashley was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough. Very prompt and reliable definitely an animal person-she interacted very well with my generally non social Shih Tzu.”
“Vivian was AMAZING!! I have never left my dogs with anyone other than family in 24 years! She did a great job even when my dog did not cooperate on their first walk. She left me great messages and cute photos. I felt very comfortable leaving and did not worry at all on trip while I was away. I will be using her again and would recommend her over and over.”

“I highly recommend Justine and Brett to care for your dogs. They have a beautiful family of 4 children who showered my two dogs (a Boxer and a mix breed) with love and affection. They came home so tired and content. This was the first time they were away from home so I was a little afraid of how they would act. I was told they behaved and I hope that was true. I would not hesitate for a minute to use Justine and Brett again.”
“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”
“Our dog Marty had a wonderful stay at Maria’s house. He was all smiles when we picked him up. I would recommend Maria to anyone who likes their dog to have fun interacting with other dogs.”
“From the meet and greet to the 6 nights Millie spent with Matthew and Michelle during our vacation, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They are both dog lovers and it definitely shows. Their home is set up beautifully to accommodate a few dogs at a time and they have an amazing back yard for running around and playing. They also took care to feed Millie her additional supplements during meal time. Millie came home exhausted from 6 days of fun. We received several pictures of Millie's adventures while we were gone which gave us all peace of mind that she was in good hands. We highly recommend Matthew and Michelle's care services. We will definitely be back for our future sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Susan, David and their son,Jack, were conscientious caregivers for our dog. They asked questions to make sure they understood her needs and preferences. We received updates with pictures of her walks and outside play. We would highly recommend their service.”
“Selena was AMAZING! We have never left our 11 year old dog over night with anyone before, and we were so comfortable leaving Stella with her! She updated us many times and did great with Stella! We could tell how much Stella loved being there. Will be booking again.”
“Deb was great with Stella! She sent daily updates (with pictures!) and let us know how Stella was doing which really set our minds at ease. This was our first time away from our girl. Deb knew that Stella is attached to us and made sure that Stella felt safe and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her and we will use her again!!”
“Our dog, Jackie stayed with Greg and Sonia for 9 days and did very well! We could tell from the Meet & Greet that we had with Sonia in advance of Jackie's stay that it would be a good environment for her. The large fenced in yard and Sonia's questions for us let us know right away that Jackie would be safe and well cared for. We received photos and texts throughout Jackie's stay that confirmed all was well. And upon picking Jackie up, chatting with Sonia also confirmed that she had been hands-on with Jackie and understood her as well as we did. We will definitely use Sonia and Greg again and recommend them wholeheartedly to others considering them!”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for our Charlie! She sent numerous videos, photos and updates throughout the stay! She helped our nervous boy feel right at home. We would absolutely recommend her!”
“Kelly and Tariq were awesome! I received regular updates which put me at ease since this was the longest I had left my pup with anyone. Definitely will book with them again.”
“Jackie was wonderful! She watched our dog Olive for a week while our family was on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her home is lovely, clean, and spacious, with plenty of room for pups to play and rest. Jackie and her family are incredibly friendly and clearly very pro-dog, which made us feel completely comfortable leaving Olive in their care. Her neighborhood is also perfect for dogs, with lots of great walking opportunities. Jackie was very responsive throughout the week and sent us pictures of Olive every day, which we really appreciated. Olive had a great stay, and we’ll definitely be sending her to Jackie again!”
“Michael really helped us out for an overnight in Glen Ellyn. He was very responsive with messaging in preparation for our dog stay. He was also friendly with our drop off and pickup. He took good care of our buddy boy, Cooper! Thank you Michael!”
“Fabulous dog loving family! Great fenced in back yard and lots of hugs for Leo from the kids! We were very, very happy with how well Leo was taken care of while we were away. He was with Linda and her family for almost a whole week. Linda was great about sending me a picture of Leo's vacation each day. We really appreciate her willingness to work with our schedule and her prompt reply when we first inquired about having Leo stay with her. I highly recommend Linda to anyone looking to board their dog with a loving and attentive family. Thank you!”
“My dogs loved their stay! Mallika was kind and understanding to my pets. She was very communicative through pics and videos and text updates. She was even kind to my one dog during a thunderstorm (he hates storms).”
