“Gus had a great time with Cynthia and I knew he was well taken care of and loved. He also had fun playing with the other dogs there and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands and having a good time while we were away. Would definitely return and recommend!”
“Can you give double 5 star ratings?? Margarita was so wonderful for us and our fur baby! She treated Pip like part of the family, sent us pictures, created fun videos, dealt with the spring shedding season, and even gave him a bath so he would be clean for the trip we were taking after picking him up. She is amazing!”
“Katrina and Drew were great! They were quick to communicate and were very accommodating to minor schedule changes. Our pup did so well she ran out of food! She usually skips meals when away from home and I pack accordingly. Katrina quickly replaced the food to keep Schatzi on schedule!”
“Chelsie was an awesome dog sitter. She watched our two dogs and sent many updates throughout their stay. She was also very accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again!”
“Cheyann- was the best dog sitter we've ever had! Her daily photo updates made me feel at ease knowing our family dog was well taken care of. Cheyann has a gentle demeanor that made our dog feel right at home!”
“Stacy is a wonderful dog sitter. My dog looked great and like she fit in well. Stacy sent me pictures daily and I felt very comfortable with Chloe staying at her house. Stacy was easy to communicate with and let us visit her home prior to booking. I definitely would like to have her watch my Chloe again!”
“Lisa & Drew and their young boys took excellent care of Buck. Lisa communicated above and beyond with updates on how Buck was acclimating to a new environment as well as cute pics of Buck playing with the boys. I highly recommend Lisa & Drew if you are looking for a trust worthy and responsible pet sitter for your pet.”
“Took great care of my dog, Scout!! Took the time to find out about her needs, routines and behavior. I knew right away she would be in wonderful hands. Definitely would recommend!!”
“Cindy and her daughter were very easy-going and flexible. The dogs settled in right away - I could tell they were all going to get along just fine! Will definitely request a stay with them in the future when needed.”
“We highly recommend using Kami for your boarding needs. In the past we’ve used another facility where we had to pay extra for half hour play time and they were locked in kennels most of the day. With Kami, they were free to roam, play and be loved on all day. She also sent us pictures throughout their stay which reassured us they were doing great.”
“Mike and Ali were amazing, they have great space for the dogs and sent regular updates. All of this is greatly appreciate, and Sushi had an awesome stay! 10/10 Highly Recommend!”
About: I've taken care of a senior Bulldog for 1 year. I ended up training him and living with him. He made major improvements in behavior for his owner. We became best buds. Also I've taken care of a cat on a regular basis for the past 2 years. Playtime and cuddles are the best! I get along well with any animal I've met. Each animal has such a unique personality, and I'm excited to learn about them! Also when I was a kid I had hamsters as pets for about 10 years. During most weekdays I'm available anytime. Some Saturdays I'm available. But most Sundays I'm not available. I have a lot of flexibility and will work with your needs. I will be able to take care of your pets at your home or my home. Whatever is more convenient for you. I only ask that they are house trained and you bring what they would need of course. I will follow whatever guidelines you may have. I'm currently retired and will be available to take care of your pet Monday-Friday anytime of day. Some Saturdays are available too. Not on Sundays though. I have an unfenced yard and a park nearby that I can play with your dog at. Most of the time we will be inside my 1 bedroom ground floor apartment. Since I am home and not working, I'll give them plenty of attention and care!
“Whitney did an amazing job taking care of our little Rascal. He's old and set in his ways but she loved on him like he was hers. She sent us multiple pictures to show how happy he was at her house. We appreciate her and loved finally being able to enjoy a few days away without having to worry about our dog. I recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Marill was excellent with our dogs and it's very obvious she is a dog lover of all dogs and treats them as her own. It looked like they had the best time (she kept us updated with great pictures) and their very different needs were able to be met. Would happily bring my dogs there again and recommend to anyone.”
“Baylyn took great care of my large 11 year old dog. He settled into her space nicely and she took great care of him. Good communication throughout the stay and very accommodating of needs and concerns. Will use again!”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”

“Kaitlyn was amazing with my cats! She sent me pictures everyday, and even swept up some litter mess! I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a cat sitter ☺️”
“Connie did a great job taking care of our fur babies and our home when we were out of town. She went over and above her job duties and picked up our garbage and recycle cans after a storm any then Picked up all the recycling from the ditch. We were really happy she has been there this week!”
“Avaiyah did a great job with our spunky and overly friendly dog when we went on a very last minute trip to see family. We had never done anything like Rover before and have only ever used the same boarder, so we were hesitant to try it out, but she made it so easy and we will definitely be using her again!”
“I felt so comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands with Lynn! She sent multiple photos throughout the stay so I knew they were all doing great, and she gave clear communication throughout the whole process. Even my shy cat was snuggling up for pets :) Will be reaching out for future stays!”
“Jessica was awesome and took great care of my two dogs despite a difficult start to their time together. My dogs decided to be somewhat less than cooperative. Jessica handled the situation incredibly well and allowed me to have a memorable visit with my family.”

“Margarita has been a wonderful, flexible, accommodating, understanding, champion for me and Spike. He is having a good time there. When I get him he is always a happy puppy and I can tell he is well taken care of. He comes home and he likes to take naps afterward, poor puppy having so much fun with her dogs and her cute youn son. Nice open space for Spike to walk on leash and not worry about his safety. Definitely booking again (already have the reservations). It’s nice to know that my 11week puppy has a loving and caring place that takes care of him while I am at work.”

“Christy was excellent with communication. We needed a pet sitter near Northfield while we attended our grand daughter Sr choir concert. Riley liked Christy immediately and was a happy boy when we picked him up. Thank you!”
“Marill was just wonderful! She's clearly a dog-lover, and Ollie had a fabulous time at her house! He played all day with her other dogs (as is evidenced by the many great photos and videos she sent me throughout the day), and came home last night happy and exhausted. He slept 15 hours straight! The idea was for him to get some energy out, and let me get some work done - so mission accomplished! I'll definitely rebook with Marill.”
About: My husband and I are former dog foster parents and love meeting/spending time with new dogs! We have two resident (foster fail!) dogs: Ace, a shy pitbull who LOVES other dogs and Tesha, a rambunctious tripod who LOVES people. We especially love older dogs in our house but are open to dogs 1 year and up. We have a fully fenced in backyard and a tie out available for outside play time. We have space to keep dogs separated if you have a dog that is shy or needs very slow introductions (we have a three level home). Our resident pups are allowed on our bed if they choose, but we have plenty of dog beds around too, and we do not allow them on our couch. We will do our very best to accommodate your pups needs and keep you updated on how your four legged family member is doing while you are away! I currently work from home and am able to take breaks to allow potty and attention breaks. My husband is also home most of the time and will be available when I am not. We like to do slow introductions to other dogs to ensure the comfort of our resident dogs and the visiting pups. We have the space to crate or allow roaming on separate levels if needed.

“Carrie and Mark are so amazing with Ollie! He loves going to their house for daycare, in fact he didn’t want to leave tonight! They love having him and take such good care of our boy.”
“I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.”
“Ashi did an amazing job at watching my two dogs. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and video. They loved playing with her super sweet dog Simba and completely wiped each other out. Will definitely be back again.”

About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.
About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.

I would love to get to know your pets and help busy owners out too :) I am currently a volleyball college athlete, who is in off season practice and lifts durring the evening. But my gaps between practice and classes I would love to help take care of your pet. I am currently in a school apartment with 3 other roomate’s , so small dogs or cats would be best. In your home I would make sure to keep messes cleaned up and the safety of your pet is first :)

I want the pets to always be as comfortable and stress free as possible, so whatever that looks like for them is what I'll provide.

“Gus had a great time with Cynthia and I knew he was well taken care of and loved. He also had fun playing with the other dogs there and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands and having a good time while we were away. Would definitely return and recommend!”
“Can you give double 5 star ratings?? Margarita was so wonderful for us and our fur baby! She treated Pip like part of the family, sent us pictures, created fun videos, dealt with the spring shedding season, and even gave him a bath so he would be clean for the trip we were taking after picking him up. She is amazing!”
“Katrina and Drew were great! They were quick to communicate and were very accommodating to minor schedule changes. Our pup did so well she ran out of food! She usually skips meals when away from home and I pack accordingly. Katrina quickly replaced the food to keep Schatzi on schedule!”
“Chelsie was an awesome dog sitter. She watched our two dogs and sent many updates throughout their stay. She was also very accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again!”
“Cheyann- was the best dog sitter we've ever had! Her daily photo updates made me feel at ease knowing our family dog was well taken care of. Cheyann has a gentle demeanor that made our dog feel right at home!”
“Stacy is a wonderful dog sitter. My dog looked great and like she fit in well. Stacy sent me pictures daily and I felt very comfortable with Chloe staying at her house. Stacy was easy to communicate with and let us visit her home prior to booking. I definitely would like to have her watch my Chloe again!”
“Lisa & Drew and their young boys took excellent care of Buck. Lisa communicated above and beyond with updates on how Buck was acclimating to a new environment as well as cute pics of Buck playing with the boys. I highly recommend Lisa & Drew if you are looking for a trust worthy and responsible pet sitter for your pet.”
“Took great care of my dog, Scout!! Took the time to find out about her needs, routines and behavior. I knew right away she would be in wonderful hands. Definitely would recommend!!”
“Cindy and her daughter were very easy-going and flexible. The dogs settled in right away - I could tell they were all going to get along just fine! Will definitely request a stay with them in the future when needed.”
“We highly recommend using Kami for your boarding needs. In the past we’ve used another facility where we had to pay extra for half hour play time and they were locked in kennels most of the day. With Kami, they were free to roam, play and be loved on all day. She also sent us pictures throughout their stay which reassured us they were doing great.”
“Mike and Ali were amazing, they have great space for the dogs and sent regular updates. All of this is greatly appreciate, and Sushi had an awesome stay! 10/10 Highly Recommend!”
“Whitney did an amazing job taking care of our little Rascal. He's old and set in his ways but she loved on him like he was hers. She sent us multiple pictures to show how happy he was at her house. We appreciate her and loved finally being able to enjoy a few days away without having to worry about our dog. I recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Marill was excellent with our dogs and it's very obvious she is a dog lover of all dogs and treats them as her own. It looked like they had the best time (she kept us updated with great pictures) and their very different needs were able to be met. Would happily bring my dogs there again and recommend to anyone.”
“Baylyn took great care of my large 11 year old dog. He settled into her space nicely and she took great care of him. Good communication throughout the stay and very accommodating of needs and concerns. Will use again!”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
“Amy has watched our dog a couple of times now and we’ve had such a great experience working with her. She really gets to know your dog so that she can provide the best possible care. She’s super flexible and sends updates throughout their stay. We highly recommend Amy!”
