“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”

“Janet is phenomenal! The MOST caring and kind dog mom and sitter! She is very patient with my 7 month puppy while he is developing his manners. She provides a lovely home and environment for my pup, who runs to the door whenever he is going to stay with Janet. She is simply the best!”

“Sandy was absolutely exceptional for our first time using an over night stay with our 4 month old puppy. Sandy helped us be at ease with lots of photos and amazing care, our puppy had the best time and we even think felt sad to leave Sandy’s care! We are so grateful for her.”

“Kendra took really good care of both of our pets while we were exploring the city. She was very communicative and sent pictures so we felt very safe leaving our pets with her. We’d definitely work with her again next time we find ourselves in Chicago.”
“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”

“Tonisa was wonderful! She answered all of my questions regarding my pups stay. She made me feel very comfortable and well informed with pics and messages from the beginning all the way to the end. Tonisa & her daughter were amazing!”

“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”

“They took excellent care of my dog. Picture and video were sent to let me know that my dog was doing fine. I will definitely use them again. Great service 👏”

“Tanisha and Darrius are the best doggie boarding team! Tanisha administered my Snuggles medicine and even got her to take the one she can be stubborn about. This was my first time leaving my pup for days at time for vacation. I was so nervous but she kept checking in and giving me updates that made me feel comfortable so I could enjoy my birthday trip with no worries! I highly Recommend them, Snuggles came home happy and healthy! It makes a difference when they love fur babies as much as you. Thank you so much Tanisha and Darrius!”

“I want to acknowledge how professional and well organized Iman handles her business. I am a first time pet owner and Rover user. I had to leave town for 6 days for a vacation. I had anxiety around who was going to care for my pet. I did a google search and stumbled across this platform. Iman picture was highlighted for me. My spirit felt like she would be the one to choose. I’m proud to say that I was not wrong in following that inner voice. Iman took care of my pet better than me. I enjoyed the warm welcome with a personalized sign. I was able to walk in the house to see Ace also had friends to play with and a doggy play area. My Ace normally barks at strangers but he seemed comfortable with Iman right away. He received high quality luxury style care. The activities, videos and pictures updates were comforting and entertaining to watch. I don’t want to give all her secrets away I love that she celebrated his birthday with a paint party. I also love how happy he looked the entire time. I was impressed with the level of experience Iman has. I also appreciate that she makes dog food and my pet seem to like her food more. I will be ordering food for him. I will also use Iman for all my future pet needs. I think I have hit a goldmine with her services. I have no need to seek out anyone else. I am throughly satisfied with the love and care provided to my Ace. My trip was extended a day due to unforeseen circumstances at the airport and Iman did not hesitate to provide extended care. I recommend her services to anyone who needs it. I promise you will not be disappointed.”


“I was recommended to E through a good friend. It felt like a huge win! The location was 0.3 miles from my home and her family was willing to take my miniature GoldenDoodle Ellie at the last minute to accommodate my complex work schedule. I couldn’t have been happier with how clean and pet friendly their home is. I got over 25 pictures and a video sharing Ellie’s adventures throughout the evening. It was so reassuring and comforting to know that my baby was with a family that was ? treating her like she was their own. I just picked her up and I’ve already scheduled her next stay. You won’t regret leaving your fur baby with E and her family! A special thank you to Neil and the boys for letting her cuddle and play with you. She is forever grateful! See you soon. Xoxo”


“My Gizelle walked right into Victoria's place inspecting every corner before Victoria could give her a proper greeting! Gizelle was very comfortable and tool to Victoria who sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Somehow Victoria got Gizelle to use a pee pad and play with a toy. Things she never does at home. I am grateful for Victoria's care. Thank you!”

“Great Care! Manuel was professional and caring. He communicated throughout the day, sending updates and pictures. He went above and beyond caring for Levi. She was extremely happy and tired when I picked he up. I would highly recommend Manuel to take care of your Furbaby!”

“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”

“Megan did a wonderful job with my Lukey. When unexpected medical needs arose, she was still willing to watch him. She did an excellent job with giving him his daily medication and caring for his special needs. She sent multiple pictures throughout the day on all the many walks he went on. Megan is a kind and thoughtful sitter and I would highly recommend booking her!!”
“Bola was so kind to my dog Coco. I was worried she might be too much puppy to handle since she’s a big dog and gets easily excited but Bola was confident there would be no issue. Coco had a great day playing with the other doggies and came home nice and tired after her stay. Thanks Bola!”

Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.

I had a great experience! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Tony over the past few days. I could tell he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I really appreciate the updates and the attention you gave him. I’ll definitely be recommending you to others and booking with you again in the future!
Tashea’ and Dushanbe were wonderful with my dog! They really saved me when I needed a last minute placement over the holidays. They sent updates throughout the stay and were quickly responsive to messages and questions. My pup came home happy and energized, a big difference from when she’s stayed at Kennels. I would definitely use them again!

We had the best experience with Khala. While we went out of town, we decided to board our boy, Zeus. We met Khala at a dog park and everything went so well. Khala is very friendly, warm, professional and very experienced with pets. She is accommodating and very prompt and super flexible with our last minute schedule changes. We will def be using Khala for our upcoming trips. Zeus was very happy staying at her place and she provided photos/updates while Zeus was staying at her place.

Ella did a great job with Winston - a 20 week old puppy. It is not easy to take care of a teething, high-energy puppy. We did not know what to expect as this was the first time Winston was boarded with someone he didn't know for several days/nights. We received frequent updates with pictures. Winston enjoyed playing with her dog and fenced back yard. He didn't want to leave. We will definitely leverage her services in the future.
