“Mary and Marty were such amazing sitters for my dog Leo! He had a great little vacation being doted on by them♥️ Mary was incredibly responsive and sent lots of adorable photos. You could tell they gave him lots of loving attention. I felt very comfortable leaving my little guy in their hands. He got all of his food and medication, and was very calm and happy when I picked him up. 10/10 recommend and will be rebooking. Thank you!”

“My dog has horrible separation anxiety so I dread trips away from home. Using the warm and cozy home of Janis and Devin was the perfect solution. I received multiple pictures every day. I could tell my dog was happy and feeling a part of the family. When I picked him up he was not crazed and inconsolable. He also has not been extra anxious at home as he usually gets. I will use Janis and Devin again and again. I have the highest esteem and praise for their business. I HIGHLY recommend!”

“Shawne was great! She took care of our Winston for us over a long weekend and tolerated the fact he didn't like her kitties so much! He was a bit anxious at her house the first night, and she changed his surroundings and got him settled down for the 2nd night. I appreciate her watching our anxious boy!”

“1st time using Rover and Mark and Nancy were very accommodating. My wife was very anxious because this was the first time we were dropping off our fur babies for someone else other than family to look after them. Mark and Nancy did not disappoint. The updates that we got put my wife at ease. No worries here. For sure we will look to Mark and Nancy again in the future.”

“Shanie's dog boarding for my puppy for 2 weeks deserves the highest rating --she sent little reports and photos and videos at least 2x/day which I loved and my puppy loved her home, expansive outdoor area, and all the toys and treats. It was hard for me to leave my puppy but Shanie made it easier and when we need another dog boarder I hope we get Ms. Shanie!!”

About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.

“What can I say about Natasha..... we absolutely loved her!!!! This was the 1st time we were away from Denim since we adopted him in May. He's so skittish around new people we were afraid to leave him anywhere. Natasha assured me he'd be in great hands and boy was she right. She spoiled him and loved on him just as we would have. She was available last minute (3hrs before on a holiday weekend) which wad so great. We met at her home and stayed for about 15-20mins until Denim felt comfortable and let her give him belly rubs. She was super patient and didn't mind me checking in on him. She even provided me some photos of him relaxing like he took over her home. I'm super thankful for all she did and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trusting person to care for their fur baby. I can't wait to contact her again in the future ??”

“We had never used Liliana before, but we were really happy with how everything went. She was very professional from the start and took the time to meet with us and the cats ahead of the visits, which immediately made us feel comfortable. She was thorough during each drop-in and handled everything we asked for without any issues. Her updates were thoughtful and detailed, and we really appreciated the photos and notes about how the cats were doing each time she stopped by. Overall, it was a great experience. We felt confident leaving our cats in her care and would definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love all breeds. We truly don’t deserve them. My soul dog, Abo, passed away 1.5 years ago and I have been watching and walking dogs for extra money ever since. I’m a college professor working a very flexible schedule and I’d love to walk or watch your dog! I live on the east side of Beverly Shores and also have a place in the city 🌆. I’m down to house sit or watch them at my place. I have local references and would love to meet your dog if I haven’t already 😊 I’m teaching part-time this term, so I have plenty of time to walk your dogs, give them some love, tell them they are good dogs, get some fresh air, exercise and sunshine. ☀️ When I board a dog it is all about them! They are basically on vacation having the best time and getting all the attention and affection they want. 🙂

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

“Marshmallow had a WONDERFUL first experience at Nancy & Mark’s Day Care! Sooo wonderful she’s scheduled for future Day Care dates as well as an upcoming Boarding weekend. I couldn’t be happier to have found a place, close to home, where my sweet, but scared and anxious, rescue is FINALLY comfortable other than with me!! Due to past trauma, Marshmallow suffers from SEVERE separation anxiety and can be fearful around large dogs, thus the fact that there is always a person present as well as the laid back and comfortable environment provided by Nancy & Mark was ABSOLUTELY perfect to calm ALL Marshmallow and Mommy’s concerns!! I was sent pictures, a video and updates throughout her stay. We truly feel blessed to have found such a GREAT fit!!!”

“Justin was AMAZING in taking care of our 2 fur babies while we were in town for vacation. My black lab, who is very shy, warmed up to him right away which I knew was a very good indicator that they were in good hands. I will be using him from now on whenever I am in town.”

“Jeremiah is definitely a dog person. My pup couldn't wait to greet him the second time I hired him, going right up to him and wagging her tail. The surroundings of his place are perfect for the walks he takes her on - lots to sniff and explore. He is very conscientious about securing her with a double leash.Thank you, Jeremiah.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you're away. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and following each dog's normal routine and care instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're in my care, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they're being well taken care of. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust to each pet's normal routine and needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to make them feel comfortable and cared for while they're away from home. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else's pet. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable in a new environment. I want every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family.

About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.

“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. Overall, she was very cooperative, reliable and conveniently located to our hotel. We would use her services again.”

“Angela was super nice and welcomed Benny in like her own. He seemed super happy when I picked him up! He usually gets anxiety when he is separated from me and tends to act out the rest of the day, but he has been his normal self all day since I picked him up from her! She took him for multiple walks and let him get lots of energy out! 5 stars and I will definitely be using Angela again!”

About: With over 20 years of experience as a dog mom and countless years of house and pet sitting for families, I’m passionate about providing loving and attentive care to your pets. My journey began in Oak Park, IL, where I worked as a trusted nanny and babysitter for families—many of whom had furry, feathered, or scaly companions. Now, as a mom myself, I focus exclusively on house and pet sitting, offering all the love and premium care to help your pet feel spoiled. I have a heart for all animals but an especially soft spot for dogs. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including chickens, house birds, turtles, frogs, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with pets big and small! Whether your pup needs walks, cuddles, or just a calm presence in the home, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pets are family, and I treat them as such—with respect, kindness, and a whole lot of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family members! I’m available Monday through Sunday from 6am to 8pm. I’m also happy to accommodate earlier or late-night pet care requests whenever possible. I own a full time home and pet care company where I provide house care and pet care fully insured! When I care for pets in their home, I do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible—just like they would if their family were there. I follow their usual routine closely, ensuring they get their meals and any medication right on schedule. I keep their space clean, tidy, and welcoming, so they always feel at ease. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I provide plenty of affection and attention. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to ensure your pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for in the place where they feel safest—their own home.

About: Ive always had pets growing up my whole life, I started watching other people’s pets my last year of high school. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when going on vacation, work calls, etc. which is why I keep all owners updated and informed on how their fur babies are doing. I currently work a 9-5, M-F. However my boyfriend gets off work at 3. Which is why I have my availability set to the weekends. I am not opposed to weekdays I just want to be up front about my schedule. I live on a half acre but we are out in the country surrounded by open fields. Therefore we have plenty of room to run, walk, and play, I also have two dogs myself to keep yours company and play! I do crate my own dogs when I leave the house because we have an open pantry and we’ve had trips to the vet because of things being eaten that should not have been… Therefore I prefer to crate dogs when I leave the house.

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

This flexible schedule allows me to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m an experienced pet parent and lifelong animal lover. My husband and I have cared for cats and dogs for over 14 years, and we treat our three pups and two senior kitties like family.

Individualized plans are based on your needs.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.

About: I have been around all sorts of animals since I was a baby. I had a German shepherd growing up. Now I own a hound mix who is very energetic and keeps me busy which I like. While I was in college I worked at my teams stable and took care of my coaches horses, chickens, and her donkey. Since I own a dog of my own, pet care is in my every day life. I am a server at Dante’s house of pizza. Even with my busy work schedule I still have plenty of time to take my own dog to the park, walk him, and play with him. I want to share my love by taking care of other peoples animals. I can ensure them that their furry friends will be safe in my care. My dog’s name is Gino and he loves being outdoors whenever we can be. He loves going on walks with other dogs. He is really happy when I take him to my friend’s house to play with their dogs. My dog is very spoiled and gets to snuggle up with me in bed. I am responsible to take him to the vet when he needs his yearly check up. I make sure he is well groomed and well fed.

About: Depending on the needs of your animals, I can come over how many times you need me to and take care of them! This even includes staying overnight if it is what your animal needs! As of right now I am currently unemployed, taking 1 online college course, allowing me to have flexibility to care for your precious animals all throughout the day! Animals are always most comfortable in their home environments and for this reason, pet care in a place where they are used to is best. I do require meet and greets before I take care of your animal, just so you know they are in safe and trusted hands!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to check in on, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Leonbergers, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are gone. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and making sure pets get attention and playtime while their owners are away. I always try to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine and environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, or anything specific the pet needs. I’m patient with animals and make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their family is gone.

About: I have cared for pets since I was 7 years old! I currently share my home with two kitties and three dogs. I also have some experience with smaller animals, I've had three Syrian hamsters in the past and have cared of guinea pigs and rabbits in a shelter setting. I've even cared for pigs, goats, and horses before! For my professional credentials, I've worked in animal care for a combined five years. I have cared for hundreds of animals in animal shelter and veterinary clinic settings. From shy and fearful dogs to feral cats, to kittens and puppies, to senior animals. I have cared for animals that need medications and/or special diets. I have experience with leash and barrier reactive dogs, exuberant canines, and leash biters. I have completed dog handling in a shelter and feral and fractious cat handling courses through Maddie's University. And I've assisted in moderating 10-15+ dogs in play groups before! Through these experiences I've become proficient in understanding animal body language, able to identify a variety of possible health issues, and learned how to best keep animals safe and happy. All in all I believe my varied experiences with animals professionally and personally will allow me to provide great care to your pet! This is my primary source of income at this time! So my schedule is very flexible. Just reach out and we can work something together. I understand that safety is number one with pets! I will always respect your pets' boundaries. And I want to work with you, the pet parent, to understand your pets' habits, preferences, and any allergies or health issues.

“Mary and Marty were such amazing sitters for my dog Leo! He had a great little vacation being doted on by them♥️ Mary was incredibly responsive and sent lots of adorable photos. You could tell they gave him lots of loving attention. I felt very comfortable leaving my little guy in their hands. He got all of his food and medication, and was very calm and happy when I picked him up. 10/10 recommend and will be rebooking. Thank you!”

“Shawne was great! She took care of our Winston for us over a long weekend and tolerated the fact he didn't like her kitties so much! He was a bit anxious at her house the first night, and she changed his surroundings and got him settled down for the 2nd night. I appreciate her watching our anxious boy!”

“Shanie's dog boarding for my puppy for 2 weeks deserves the highest rating --she sent little reports and photos and videos at least 2x/day which I loved and my puppy loved her home, expansive outdoor area, and all the toys and treats. It was hard for me to leave my puppy but Shanie made it easier and when we need another dog boarder I hope we get Ms. Shanie!!”

About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.

“If anyone is looking for a Dog sitter I would highly recommend Catherine! She was absolutely amazing with my puppy Roxy. Her communication with me during Roxy’s entire stay was excellent, never once leaving me in the dark about what was going on or what to expect. I will definitely be using her again in the near future!?”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took excellent care of Roscoe and treated him like he was her own. She kept me updated throughout my time away with messages and pictures of my sweet pup, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me smile. It was obvious that Roscoe was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was reliable, caring, and went above and beyond. I would absolutely trust her to watch Roscoe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy! ❤️🐾”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you're away. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and following each dog's normal routine and care instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're in my care, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they're being well taken care of. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust to each pet's normal routine and needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to make them feel comfortable and cared for while they're away from home. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else's pet. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable in a new environment. I want every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family.

About: We have always had pets (Mostly Dogs) growing up and have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us. We are the type of people that animals (Fur Babies) just feel at ease with. From the smallest of toy and lap dogs to the much larger Great Danes and Mastiffs. We will always get along, even the dog that nobody can handle and scares them. My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected. We truly believe that your Dogs and/or Cats should and will be treated just you would. Thanks, Between my wife and I we are essentially available 24/7. And hope to accommodate any ones schedule. Our routine will be scheduled around whatever is needed We have a full half acre completely fenced in (Wooden privacy fence). And of course whatever it is you and your dogs like enjoy we will accommodate.
