About: I got a puppy when I was 18 and she’s 13 now! I have another dog and 2 cats we love just as much as our human babies! I work from home so I am home all day to be able to love on your babies and give them any care they may need while you are away! I have a fully fenced in backyard with 2 playful dogs! Pets are allowed wherever humans are allowed in our house! This is their home, too.
“I’m so happy to have found Jacob to care for my two dogs on short notice. Jacob made everything easy and stress free. I will definitely call on him again next time!”
“Tessa and her husband took very good care of our dog Gus. We were very happy with the first visit and did an overnight stay which also went very well. Gus seemed very comfortable in their home. Tessa is very responsive and sent us pictures of Gus.”
“Our golden doodle Ricky was under the care of Jennifer and Aaron for about 10 days. Their dog also happened to be golden doodle, so Ricky had a great time playing with him. Jennifer took very good care of Ricky and gave me daily updates with photos and text messages. She was a very kind to put Ricky at ease at times when he barked at night due to new place anxiety by allowing him to sleep in her room. They had a big fenced backyard for dogs to play during pleasant Chicago summer weather. Ricky enjoyed the walks as well. Ricky came back happy and healthy. I will recommend Jennifer as a dog sitter in a heart beat and she will gladly be my go-to dog sitter when I am in Chicago next year. Thank you Jennifer.”
“There aren't enough stars available to give Yesina. She was awesome. Stoney loved her. She was just what he needed. She was very kind, good, stearn and loving with Stoney. Stoney loved her friendly and playful dogs and became one of the pack. She gave him the training he needed and he responded wonderfully. I trusted her right away. She gave me great training tips to continue with Stoney at home. When I first met her I knew it would be a great relationship! Thanks Yesina (and your hubby too) for everything!”

“This was our first time using a pet sitter and in home boarding. Lorena is so sweet and caring to our pup Lucy. She kept in contact with us and that was so reassuring. Sent pictures and videos often. Lorena's home was set up in a way that was great for dogs...fenced in large yard, and no carpet for easy cleanup. Clean and tidy. Will definitely use Lorena again, happy to have found her!”

Mary D.
“Mary is the absolute best! She has been my go to for seven years and my two collie pups adore her! Mary goes above and beyond spending time playing with them, giving them their meds, sending picture updates, etc! My pups love their time with Mary and cannot wait until the next time they see her! The peace of mind that I have knowing that they are in her care is invaluable- she is responsible, a great communicator, and well organized. There is no one that I would trust more- I highly recommend!”
