1. Lee & Niv D.
“We loved having Lee and Niv take care of our senior Samoyeds for two weeks. They and their daughters were so welcoming and warm! The dogs seem to have had a great time, as evidenced by the photos and video they sent us. We were so happy to have found them and hope to use them again.”
2. Lisa C.
“Our third time leaving Koda with Lisa and her family and it could not have gone better!!! Koda loves spending her time playing with Lani (Lisa’s dog) and loves all the extra room to run around in the backyard. Lisa is great with always sending photo and video updates.”

“Cheri is such an awesome dog sitter. Great communication and Duke just loves being with Cheri. The whole family is so sweet with Duke. He has the best time with them. Thank you Cheri!!”
10. Thao T.
“My pooch came back happy and healthy! Thao was very accommodating when added two days onto my trip last minute, and even supplemented with her own food with no problem!! She also sent me pictures of him which helped ease any worries I may have had leaving him with someone for the first time. She was very easy to communicate with while I was out of town and answered any texts quickly and clearly. 5 stars from me and Max!”
11. Volkan G.
“Volkan was a wonderful find. He took our dog for a weeklong stay at the last minute when our regular sitter had to cancel. He has a great way with dogs and is diligent about their care. He provided plenty of updates and was flexible with dropoff and pickup. He has our highest recommendation.”
12. Diane A.
“Diane is the best dog sitter. She spoils my golden retriever (Charlie) so much and is constantly taking him outside and to the dog park. Charlie is always sad when she has to leave and I’ve never seen him so excited to see someone every time Diane comes back! Charlie and I would both recommend Diane.”
13. Sandra & Sorin A.
“Sandra and Sorin are amazing dog sitters. My senior dog had a gastrointestinal issue during his stay. They tried multiple food products to encourage him to eat. Ultimately, Sandra cooked chicken and rice, my dog’s preferred meal when he is sick. Sandra and Sorin also pampered my dog when they suspected pain in his right hind leg. They are incredibly diligent and loving sitters. I am grateful for the extraordinary care they provided to my little boy.”
14. Andrea K.
“Andrea was amazing!! Couldn't recommend her higher. She took great care of my beagle, Theo, and welcomed him into their home with open arms. Looking forward to the next time I'm in need of Andrea's services. Thanks again for taking care of Theo!!”
15. Kazuhiro & Akemi S.
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received. He stayed one night and I received plenty of photos and video. He was extremely well cared for! Thank you!”
16. Cynthia A.
“I can confidently say that Cynthia is the best dog sitter in Chicago…She’s my number one choice for pet sitting in the area…She cares about all dogs and is able to accommodate all needs and preferences…if I could give her more than 5 stars I would”
17. Xinya G.
“Rizzo had such a great time with Xinya. It was his first time staying with someone since I adopted him so I was a little nervous about how it would go but she was really responsive and sent me lots of pictures and I could see that he felt loved and happy!”
18. Joerg & Lake Z.
“Joerg and Lake are amazing! I was nervous about leaving my new puppy for a week, especially during Thanksgiving. But she had such a great time with Lizzie and I got the cutest updates every day. It seemed like she was having a better vacation than me! And when it got cold, they let her borrow a sweater so she would be comfortable on her daily walk. I appreciate them so much and will definitely be booking again!!”
19. Kristin H.
“Kristin and her family are the best. They treat Copper not only like one of their own dogs but as a guest of honor. He gets to play with the whole family and the other dogs, and gets walks, playing outside in the yard, and inside love + attention. My wife and I also get a ton of pictures and updates on him the entire time. We can't say enough great things about Kristin!”
20. Hanna O.
“Hanna was great. She accommodated us on very short notice and took great care of our sweet-but-anxious old pup Wembley. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. We'd gladly recommend her.”
