“This was Wag’s repeat stay which was just as good as the first one! So nice to know from the photos sent that she had a ball! Wags was so exhausted after she got home that she snuggled up on the couch and hit the hay. Thanks for taking care of Wags for us! Thank you Sonia & Greg!”
“Our girl Nova had a wonderful time with Maria. She is caring, loving, professional and incredibly patient. This was our first experience leaving our baby girl, and it was great. Maria kept us updated throughout the day, making us feel very comfortable that Nova was well taken care of.”
“Maria has been a LIFE SAVER for me. I work full time in Chicago and I needed someone who was able to take my dog M-F but I didn't want to bring my dog to an impersonal day care. That's when I found Maria. I really love that Oliver (my dog) is safe in Maria's home and also able to go to the dog park everyday. When I pick him up he is a very happy and tired dog! I could not have asked for a better situation and we consider Maria part of the family. She treats my dog as if he was her own and for that I am so thankful.”
About: I know how to make dogs comfortable and make them feel like they’re being taken care of well. Lots of treats they get from me I am free to watch dogs a lot during each day of the week. Any time of the day works for me as well to watch them I have a fenced in yard. I keep my basement closed so no dogs can go down there. Mostly on the main floor with me.
“David (& Mary) are great sitters. However, David blamed me (!) for causing him to get up "an hour early" for the pick-up time despite the fact that I scheduled a one hour window for the same, and despite the fact the he accepted my booking request including this one hour window period. Thus, he expects a dog's pet guardian to arrive precisely at the beginning of the window period! This unreasonable, especially when it's set it up for just that-- a window period within which pet guardians may drop off their dog. Blaming customers for THEIR shortcomings is not only irresponsible, it's unprofessional.”
“Kristina was absolutely fantastic. This was the first time we used a sitter for our little guy and Kristina made sure he was comfortable and gave him enough time to adjust. She was very flexible with timings as well.”
“Min was wonderful with my large dog, Tamale. She reads the dog's body language very well. She sent lots of pics and seemed to really enjoy Tamale's company. I will definitely ask her to dog sit as my regular "go to" person. Thanx Min!”
“Thank you soooo much for taking him for the day! He is tired out and happy! Thank you for al the updates of photos and videos I will deff be bringing him back so he can play again! Thanks so much guys I highly recommend her!! Very great!”
About: I am loving, patient and genuinely love animals! I have experience with dogs, cats and bearded dragons. We lost our 2 senior cats 2 years ago so I love getting to enjoy other peoples pets! I have 3 children in school during the day and run my own business. This gives me the flexibility to offer care for most days and times. I will come to your home for walks/care as scheduled and needed. I will offer that extra bit of friendliness and care that your pet may need with you being away.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old. I grew up with dogs, helped train my family’s pups, and have been the go-to dog sitter for family and friends for years. I’m comfortable with walks, baths, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or a little goofy, I’ll treat them like they’re my own :) I’m currently an online graduate student, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available by request in the mornings, afternoons, and on weekends. Unfortunately, at this time I am not available for overnight care. Other than that, let me know how I can best help you! I always aim to make them feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible. I’m very adaptable and I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs. Before any booking, I like to ask a few questions about your pet’s habits, personality, and preferences so I can provide the best care tailored specifically to them. I follow feeding, walking, and medication routines closely and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If I’m in your home, I also respect your space and keep things clean and consistent for your pet so they feel secure in their familiar environment.
About: I have had a yorkie growing up named Daisy! She had a long 16 year life before passing Christmas of 2018. She loved to play with her toys and run around the back yard. I'm looking to care for others pets like I did my own. My wife and I adopted our current dog Piper in 2024 she is a 20 pound mixed poodle/ King Charles cavalier and a few other breeds all into one. I would say she is our soul dog. She has brought us so much joy and laughter!! I love being outside with dogs, going on walks and playing with toys. The joy they get when being active brings me happiness. I want to be able to provide those services to people who are in need due to time constraints or other life obligations. With my flexible sales schedule I am always around to give my dog Piper the care and love she needs. Which is exactly what your dog will get! Some would say piper (my dog) gets treated like royalty. She is a princess and is cared for like no other. This is exactly how your pet will get taken care of.
About: I grew up with all sorts of pets, from dogs, cats to birds, hamsters, birds and turtles. I respect and enjoy all sorts of lives, and teach my kids the same I work from home most of the time; this allows me to be flexible with my time and be able to watch for your pet while I work. I enjoy going for a walk or letting the dogs spend time in the yard I have a fenced yard, a super friendly dog (London, Dalmatian) and 2 kids who loves to spoil pets! Your pet will feel at home
“April took time to really make sure Beausarge got comfortable on his first visit. She went over his training commands and took him for a walk. He can be a little high needs and she took great care of him. We will definitely be using April again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them is a joy. Whether it's playtime, peaceful walks, or simply being a comforting presence, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like family and will make sure yours is loved and looked after just like my own. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pet the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday potty break, playtime in the yard, or simply having a consistent presence nearby. Because I’m home during the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches of time. I’m able to keep a close eye on their needs, maintain their routines, and provide lots of love, attention, and cuddles. I have a large yard and outdoor area that’s perfect for running, playing, and getting all that energy out in a safe and secure space. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers to lounge in the sun, there's plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. If your pet needs downtime or a quieter environment, I also have comfortable, confined indoor areas where they can relax and feel secure. I'm happy to accommodate different energy levels and personalities.
About: I am currently a grad school student trying to spread the love for our 4 legged friends one walk at a time! I currently have my own dog that I have had for 2 years that I adore and know how hard it can get when you need to be away from your pet for longer than wanted but have no fear because I will give your pet all the love, adoration, tail wags, and more while you’re away for a bit! I have also taken care of all different types of pets (dogs, cats, bunnies) for family and friends growing up, including walking, boarding, feeding, and bathing. As an all around pet lover, I would love to treat your own dog like family and give them everything that need until you come back. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Hope to hear from you soon :) As of now, I am available weekends! I am free Friday’s after 3pm but other than that, I’m am free all day throughout the weekend. (Updated: 3/30/25) I have a very friendly dog in my household, but can be easily separated from your pet easily if needed. Crating also can be done if necessary. For safety, you will be given 1-2 hour updates (or more!) of the status of your pet also.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
