“Bill was great with our 2 labs. He is clearly a dog lover. We look forward to using him for our dog care needs!”
2. Emily G.
“Emily is so warm and kind and such a pet lover! I felt so comfortable leaving our puppy in her care (feeding, walking, cuddles). She was always on time, sent the most adorable reports and photos (so nice to stay in touch even when we’re away!) and was great about locking up our home after her visits. Highly recommend Emily! :)”
3. Faye L.
“This is our second time using Faye and we couldn’t be happier with the attention and care she gives to our pets. She has taken on the challenge of handling our special needs cat who needs medicine AND diaper changes and caring for our very eccentric birds. We will be sure to request her help any time we are out and if she’s available!”
4. Andrew N.
“Andrew was the best cat sitter! We’re always a little nervous going out of town leaving our elderly cat at home. Andrew is a great communicator, and we felt our cat was in good hands. We would not hesitate to rebook with Andrew the next time we need a cat sitter.”
5. Kelly O.
“I’ve had many sitters before and Kelly is really by far the best. Not only she follows the instructions to a T, Kelly also goes above and beyond for my Neo, including brining him to the basement and staying there with him during the tornado warning. Kelly is also very observant and she communicates well, such as she would ask if someone has stopped by our place because the angle of our door mat seems to be different from what she remembers from her last visit. Most of all, Neo loves her and is always excited about her visit. I cannot be happier with Kelly’s help.”
6. Michele A.
“Michele was perfect helping my wife and our cat. She came at a time that worked well for my wife, who needed assistance while I was traveling. She worked well with my wife and even helped find some special diet catfood that had been misplaced in our home. She alsoi shared amazing pictures of our cat from her visits.”
7. Donna C.
“They are amazing! This is the first time we’ve ever let anyone outside our family take care of our dogs and they truly put us as ease. The dogs loved them and they truly cared for our dogs. Can’t wait to use them again!”
8. Catherine S.
“very attentive dog sitter”
9. Lynn & Terrance T.
“We and our two dogs had a great experience with Lynn and Terrance for drop in visits. Great updates and photos! One of our dogs had an upset stomach and they even offered to help if we needed anything extra. Extremely kind, communicative, and helpful. Highly recommended!”
10. Andrew G.
“Andrew has been a Godsend! I’ve taken Hudson to his home for day care and Hudson loves it! Andrew is so good with him and I’m so happy I found Andrew!!”
11. Kristin H.
“Wesley, my 95 pound lab and Dexter my 28 pound Puggle mix have vacationed twice the past two months at Kristin H's AdventureDog. We love her families caring home and her commitment to my dogs needs while I'm away. As a stay-at-home Mom, Kristin is able to spend almost all her time with her clients dogs spoiling, loving and exercising them on a farm, at the beach and a local forest preserve or in her sizable fenced in grass lawn. There is also an extra bonus, the other family members, her husband, two sons and foreign exchange student all take part in the loving and spoiling. If you are looking for a loving, compassionate, caring home, I recommend Kristin's AdventureDog. I rate her services AAA+ and my dogs can not wait for their next stay.”
12. Rosy K.
“Rosy is always my first choice for a cat sitter. She’s super attentive to my 3 cats, appreciating their individuality, and goes the extra mile to help out with things that can be difficult/impossible when traveling, such as pulling the garbage to and from the curb. Her communication is excellent and I truly have no worries about my babies when she’s taking care of them. What a wonderful cat sitter!”
13. Ella V.
“Ella did a great job feeding, playing with, and hanging out with my cat. She also cleaned the kitty litter which was wonderful. She sent daily photos of everything which was great too. Thanks Ella.”
14. Olivia V.
“Amazing job!!! My cats loved her, and she followed all instructions. I’ll definitely book again if I go out of town!!!”
15. Anibeth B.
“Anibeth was amazing! A true animal lover and a very dependable and responsible caretaker! Thank you again!!”
16. Fernando & Elizabeth R.
“Fernando has taken care of our dog Granger for 2 1/2 years now, first as a walker and now both a walker and as home daycare. Granger has anxiety and does not warm up easily to new people or situations, but Fernando took the time to win him over. He is trustworthy and reliable and clearly loves dogs. I feel good knowing Granger is safe and happy while I am at work. I highly recommend Fernando!”
17. Nik H.
“Nik takes excellent care of his pups. He takes them on long walks, and plays ball with them at the dog park. They're joyful, healthy, and well trained dogs. My pup is always very excited for play dates with Nik and his pack, she comes home happy and exhausted. There are few people I'd trust to watch my pup, and Nik is one of them. His attention to detail, kind nature, and patience will put your mind at ease, you can trust that he will keep your pet safe and happy. I highly recommend Nik as your next sitter!”
18. Alexis B.
“Alexis Was great! Super dependable, easy and chill. Very trustworthy. I highly recommend and will use again.”
19. Coty C.
“Cody is amazing! She took the time to learn my dog’s specific needs and personality, and tailors her interaction with them. Her many years of experience with dogs was evident in the way that she cared for my senior dog’s needs and quirks. Aside from her professionalism (always on time, dependable, reliable, trustworthy), she is passionate about dogs, and my little one absolutely loved her! She went out of her way to make sure that my dog felt safe and happy while I was away, and sent me lots of cute pics. I can’t say enough great things about her. You will love her. I will definitely be rebooking her again!”
