“Andrew did a great job with my pooches. I think they didn’t even miss me after three days being gone. He was very quick to respond and was great with the communication. The dogs instantly took to him when they met him. Would definitely use his services again.”



“Adam took care of my dear pooch again this week! Harry was well cared for - as always! And my home was in perfect condition too. Adam kept me updated with texts and photos also. He did another great job!!🤩🐾”


“Katelyn was so great with our 2 cats over the Thanksgiving holiday especially since we were first timers with Rover. She made the process so easy and sent us updates and videos everyday. Katelyn comes highly recommended.”


“This was my second booking with Ismy and Corey, and once again, they were absolutely fantastic! They took exceptional care of my cat, Fox Fox, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It’s clear that they truly care about Fox Fox’s well-being, and their attention to detail is top-notch. They even left the place spotless and made sure Fox Fox was comfortable before they left. I highly recommend Ismy and Corey to anyone in need of reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitters. I’ll definitely be booking them again in the future! Fox Fox will miss them until next time!”


About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs in my family and have always loved being around them. Over the years I’ve helped care for neighbors’ dogs including overnight stays, daily walks, or feeding and playtime. I also enjoy being active, so I’m always happy to take dogs on long walks or runs to help them burn off energy and have fun. I know how important it is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. I’ll stick to their routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure you get updates so you know they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a Master’s student at Northwestern with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit in pet care throughout the week. I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep them on their normal routine. I make sure they feel comfortable and safe in their own space, and I always treat your home with respect. You can count on me for regular updates so you know your pets are happy and well cared for.

“Great last-minute care! We had a last-minute need for a sitter when our other got sick. Emily was very flexible and helped us out for a couple of days. The dogs liked her immediately so we knew they were in good hands. She was great about giving them their medication and a fairly generous walking schedule. Thank you, Emily, for the great job with our beloved little fellas!”


“Molly is the best! One of our dogs developed an eye ulcer the week before going out of town, and needed medicine and multiple eye drops several times a day. She handled it with ease, gave me updates as needed, and provided our dogs with her usual high standard of care. Our dogs love her and we are so grateful!”


“As always, Coty took great care of our fur babies! She was punctual, and sent us regular photos and reports. When we arrived home, the dogs were happy and the house was spotless! We’re so grateful!”


“Jason was great - he was kind enough to meet our dogs before his stay and took care of them while we were gone for a few days. Our home was spotless upon our return. Thanks, Jason!”



“This was our first time having someone other than a family member stay with our pets. Donna was incredible to work with. She responded quickly, came and met the dogs prior to our trip so we could feel comfortable it was a good fit. We have 3 dogs, two of which are larger dogs. We have one that is one chemo and needed medication and another one who is deaf. Donna took such great care of the dogs while we were gone and left the house just as we left it. She even washed the sheets and towels before she left. We had flight issues getting back and she stayed longer than originally planned to make sure they had dinner as we got back much later than we thought. I am so happy to have found Donna and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. We will be sure to book with her on our next trip!”


“Alex was great! She was very accommodating on a fairly short notice. She came and met our dog and home ahead of time to get the hang of our place and routine. There was one need for problem solving while away, but she worked with me from afar to work on the best care and plan for my pup. My neighbors talked to her and thought she was great and got along great with our local neighbors and the neighborhood pets on walks with our dog (she is kind of a local celebrity, our dog but Alex too). She gave me daily updates with photos, but nothing overwhelming that I felt distracted on my vacation. Very grateful and looking to book her again.”


About: I have 2 dogs of my own, an energetic golden and sassy pomeranian that I took care of throughout high school and continue to when I return home on breaks. Besides that, I used to spend summers walking my cousin’s dog and pet sit (both dog and cat) family friends’ animals when they’re out of town. I absolutely love animals and, as a pre-health student, have spent some time shadowing veterinarians! I work part time throughout the summer and will be a part time student in the fall with classes on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Other than that, my schedule is super flexible & the earlier you let me know, the more flexible I can be! I’d love to spend time and attention on your pet or give them their space depending on what they prefer! Respecting your pet, your space, and your trust is my top priority.

“Ankur did a great job looking after our cats while we were away. He communicated often and I was completely relaxed knowing he was in charge. I’ve already booked him again for our next trip.”


About: I believe in maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible, minimizing stress and making their time without you feel seamless. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a dedicated, compassionate companion who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were my own. As a teacher, my summers are completely free, making it the perfect time to dedicate myself to pet care. I live only a half block from a large park and am very close to the lake, which is ideal for long walks. I genuinely love walking, so integrating multiple walks throughout the day for your dog is a pleasure, not a chore. This prime location also offers easy access to plenty of green space for playtime and exercise. Services include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box/cage cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of cuddles. I'll also bring in your mail and water plants, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.
