“Above and beyond always is living our fur babies. Junior couldn’t wait to get inside when he arrived at Bonnie’s add Toby who was visiting for the first time, happily followed! They both had a blast. Bonnie takes special care to accommodate any exceptions/special care (like when two dogs don’t take kindly to each other), and handles surprises (good or bad) in stride. She is a true pro and loves each pet as if they are her own. We are beyond grateful for you and your family, B!”

“Could not wish for a better sitter for my babies!!!! This is our second time with Hannah and I can’t say enough great things about the experiences. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own. She’s amazing to send pics and videos as well. Highly, highly recommend!!!!!!”

“Marci was a great sitter for my dog Hank! I could tell from get-go that she’s experienced with taking care of pups and that she treats her pup Sadie amazingly too. She was a great communicator with fast responses, and answered all my questions to make me feel confident about having her watch Hank. Would absolutely recommend and use her again!”

“Charlene and Felix were wonderful with my extra scared puppy. They provided warm and loving care with lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely feel comfortable using them again.”

“Truly appreciative of them taking care of my fur babies…took pics of them everyday and keep me informed of how they were doing…definitely would recommend 😊”

“Was wonderful! Gave daily updates with pictures and video, Tilly left grinning ear to ear. Was super kind about us dropping her off a little late, and super understanding about Tilly being a little excited. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”

About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!
About: What sets me apart is that I focus on helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both younger and older dogs, including pets that need a calmer environment, extra patience, or more frequent bathroom breaks. I try to keep pets on a consistent routine and pay attention to their behavior, comfort, and energy level so I can adjust care to their needs. I also understand how important communication is for pet parents, so I provide regular updates, photos, and short videos during their stay. Pets in my care are treated with kindness, supervision, and respect. I aim to create a calm environment where they can relax and feel secure rather than stressed or isolated. I structure my schedule to ensure pets are never left alone many hours at a time. I make it a priority to ensure pets are fed, visited regularly, given plenty of attention, and made to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parents are away I treat pets like part of the family and work to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are in my care. In my home, pets are welcome in the common living areas so they can feel relaxed and included. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day based on each pet’s needs and routine.
“Stephanie and family treated our babies as their own. Every time we got a picture, they looked very comfortable and loved. Would definitely take them back.”


“Amber takes such good care of my dog! She loves him like he’s her own and I always feel comfortable leaving him with her. She is great about sending updates and pictures when he is with her. I’ve used her multiple times and plan to continue trusting her with my pet in the future.”

“So great! First time boarding my dog so I was nervous, but Jaxx was in great hands. She sent me photos and updates while I was gone. My dog got along great with her pup and they got to play in a fenced in yard and everything! Would take him back there if I went on another trip for sure.”

“The most amazing person to leave your baby with. My girl was in such good hands and loved her playmate. Will 100% be using her again! The videos and updates gave me such peace of mind.”

“Pepper had another wonderful stay with Jackie. As usual, he gave me very detailed updates with pictures and videos and insights about her personality. I think she has more fun over his house! He really treats her like a very special member of the family and takes really great care of her. Thank you!”

“Very good experience. My dog can’t talk but, looks like he enjoyed it at her place. Very well informed about him so, we didn’t have to worry much. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I always used boarding facilities. I think this is better for him instead of sitting in a kennel all the time. I would definitely go to her again if we need.”

“I adopted Scooby three months ago and this was his first time being away from me and my first time using Rover. Azalea was amazing! She updated me regularly and sent pics.
