“Bernice did an absolutely amazing job caring for my fur baby this past weekend! I was pretty nervous since he’s newly adopted, but she quickly put my mind at ease. Her communication was excellent—she sent daily pictures and kept us updated on how his day was going, which meant so much to me. It was clear he felt completely comfortable and at home—honestly, he didn’t even want to leave! Her fenced-in backyard was a huge bonus and gave him plenty of space to play safely. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Bernice is the only person we’ll be booking with going forward!”

I will definitely use Sharon again.”

I love exploring new places with my pets like taking them to the beach for example and enriching their lives with new experiences.

“We were going to Italy for eight days and I wanted to make sure Peyton would - be safe. My sweet boy is a senior with a few special needs. After reading Laura’s bio and reviews I decided to reach out to her to see if she were available for the dates I would be gone. I was impressed with her quick response she was indeed available and asked if I would like to do a meet and greet. We agreed on a date and time for Peyton and me to come for a visit. During our time there Peyton seemed relaxed and making himself very much at home, he even made a new friend! On the morning of Peyton’s stay he had no hesitation whatsoever he ran up to the door tails a wagging. I knew I made the right choice in booking with Laura. Thank you, Laura for taking such great care of my little guy and the updates and photos you sent… Really reassuring! :)”
“Great relief, knowing my dog Barbie was in great hands for two weeks. Latasha would also send updates and pictures which really was really comforting to know Barbie was being well took care of. Would highly recommend Latasha to family and friends.”
“Iman provided top tier service! This was my first time using this app. Typically my dog would stay with family members while I'm out of town. My dog sitter plans fell through at the last minute and Iman was gracious enough to take in Coco without any advanced notice. Iman sent daily photos and videos and eased all of anxiety. I knew Coco was in good hands and I was able to enjoy my trip. Iman even surprised us on the last day with beautiful edited photos of Coco.”
“Jordan was super responsive to us and our pup was well taken care of on NYE. We were in town for a wedding and aren’t from the area. Jordan was very kind to take our girl for the night. Wish we lived closer, Jordan would be an easy go to. Drop off and pick up was very easy.”

She sends photos of him and my dog is visibly happier and more relaxed because of his walks. I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my furry family member. Highly recommend!”
“April was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mable! We only asked her to stop by once a day, but she went above and beyond every single visit. She spent extra time with Mable, stayed to keep her company, and was so kind and attentive. She even surprised Mable with a few new toys to play with while we were away, which was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture that she absolutely didn’t have to do. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mable was not only being cared for but genuinely loved while we were gone. We could tell April truly cares about the pets she watches, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

We will be using him in the future for sure!”

“It was a relief with all of our funeral planning taking place in Chicago, to know that Ms. Bernice was going to take care of Niko. This was his first time at any day care and it seems that this will help us as we work with him to socialize with other dogs.

About: I’ve grown up and been around animals my entire life! I am comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. I spent my college years dog sitting! I’m currently off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby!! During the school year I am open weeknights and weekends! I always adhere to the boundaries set by the owner, and always do my best to honor the routine your animal is so used to!
“Gillian communicates well and answers my messages in a timely fashion. She is on time for her visits. My pup Ransom is usually hesitant the first few times around a new sitter, but warmed to Gillian and went on a walk with her no problem. Thank you.”
“Crystal is fantastic! My pups loved her the minute they met her. She's excellent at communication and knows exactly how to give my dogs the very best care. I'm so lucky to have her caring for my dogs.”
About: My husband and I are very unique. We would have a farm if we could. We live in a smaller home, but have so much love between our pets and kids. I hope we can raise our 3 kids to love animals as much as we do. I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years, but grew up in a house of animals. My family's huge animal lovers. I have stayed for weeks at a time with families, dog walked, issued medicine to pets, and just simply stopped in to let them out and hang for a bit. We have had dogs and cats stay with us while families are on vacation and made it work perfectly. My kids knowing they are small, are great w the animals too. I am just excited to make your fur baby feel safe and loved while you're away. *Update: We just added bathing and nail clipping as an add on option! My husband's mom owned the Canine Clipper that was in business for over 30 years. He grew up as cheap labor for 15 years in the shop washing, drying and trimming nails of any cats and dogs that came. We do not offer grooming services as that is not in our wheelhouse. Have you pet come home feeling and smelling fresh! I just had our new baby born on August 8th this year. I have three boys that I am obsessed with. I love being a boy mama 💙 I am a personal trainer but have cut back on hours so I can hang w my kids while they are young. I sometimes forget about how I was a nanny for 10 years and a dog sitter for about 15. I would love to do my passion again knowing I have so much more free time at home. My 5 year old is in school all day, my 3 year old has preschool twice a week for 2 hrs, and my newborn just goes for the ride. I'm always home on the weekends, and during the week I'm always looking to do something-which I would love to show my kids how to treat animals. If your pet is not good w kids, I can also drop them off w their grandma for a bit. I always make it happen ❤️ She loves some grandson time. All our pets are spoiled because they are our family too. Our dogs have dog beds all around, even though they sleep on couches and beds w us. The cats have cat towers and toys and get the free range of the house. We used to have a nanny because I wanted someone here for the kids, but also the pets. It always made me feel better knowing someone would always be there for them too.
About: 🩷 I have been around dogs since I was very young! With that being said, I currently have one of my own and have watched many dogs and cats for friends and family! I absolutely love spending time with animals and making it a priority that they feel special and loved! Your animals will love me! 🩷 *SCHEDULE CHANGE* I am now working Monday-Friday 8AM-4:30PM. I am still available after work and all day on Saturdays & Sundays. Thank you so much! My dog is trained to stay in my yard and has free roam of the house. He is spoiled with treats, many toys, and so much love! I will provide your animals the careful attention they require to meet your unique demands.
About: I have been a dog lover for many years and had the privilege of taking care of a chihuahua and a pug throughout their lives. Being a pet owner taught me the importance of patience and paying attention to each dogs needs and personality. I understand that pets are family, and i know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing together, I’ll provide attentive and loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide care to your pup after work during the weekends. I’m completely available on wednesdays and weekends. Your pets safely and comfort are my top priorities. I have a calm, secure environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I currently do not have any animals so your animals can enjoy an stress-free environment. As for in-home visits, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their routine and ensure they feel secure and cared for in their home.

“Mackenzie is great to work with! She was super responsive and accommodating when we arranged the initial pet care schedule. And it’s truly wonderful to see how much care and love she gives our pets.”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs since 2018 and have extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I take a holistic approach to dog care, focusing not just on supervision, but on understanding behavior, body language, and overall well-being to ensure your pup feels safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m comfortable providing basic training support during overnight stays, including reinforcing good manners, leash skills, and consistency with your home routines. My goal is to maintain structure while giving your dog plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. For overnight stays, I ask that you provide your dog’s food, treats, and bedding to help them feel comfortable and at home. Safety is very important to me we have a secure 7-foot fenced yard. A collar and leash are required at drop-off to ensure smooth and safe transitions. I treat every dog like family and pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and personalized care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! My day starts early — I wake up at 5:30am and let the dogs out first thing in the morning to start their day on a consistent routine. Breakfast is typically served around 7am, and dinner is between 4–5pm. I believe structure and routine help dogs feel secure and balanced while they’re away from home. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully secured 7-foot fenced yard to provide plenty of safe outdoor space for exercise and play. The property is also equipped with outdoor security cameras for added monitoring and peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, I’ve always had dogs of my own and used to watch others animals for friends and neighbors while they were away. I’ve always been able to create a bond with the animals I watch as I have 3 dogs of my own. Whether your dog loves high-energy fetch or cozy couch cuddles, I tailor every stay to their specific needs. I’m dedicated to keeping your animals happy and healthy while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from college and this is my only job for the summer as of now. I have much availability throughout my day to take care of your lovely animals. I have a fenced in yard but I have 3 dogs of my own. I can keep them separate if need be or just care for them in their known home whichever you prefer.
“Danielle was a more than excellent dog walker for my rambunctious 11 month old boxer puppy Sasha. If i could give her more than 5 stars i would!!! Sasha and Danielle both seemed to have had a really great time on their walk and i felt beyond comfortable trusting Danielle with keeping my fur baby safe on their walk. Danielle even listened to all of my concerns and she paid very good attention to my current training cues for Sasha's leash manners! She sent tons of photos from thier walk and my girl looked so happy in all of them!!! I was just totally overjoyed with Danielle's services i will definitely be booking her again very soon and reccomend her to anyone looking for an amazing, caring, patient, and safe person to walk or watch their fur babies! Thank you for taking my girl out for an amazing time, we can't wait for next time!?❤”
