House Sitting in Riverwoods

Karina was a wonderful house-sitting dog sitter, staying with our dog for nearly a week. She sent regular updates and pictures so we felt totally at ease while away. We returned to a very clean home, just as we left it. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. She even got him to take multiple walks a day, which is not typical for him! We will book Karina again!

This is the second time Thea has taken care of our girls and she was even better than last time! Thea spends the time really getting to understand the dogs and their individual characteristics. She then takes perfect care of them knowing what they like and what they don't like. In addition to taking care of Coco and Lola, she takes excellent care of the house. We come back with everything looking just a little bit better than when we left. :-) We will definitely use Thea in the future!

Sarah was great watching Ollie and housesitting while we were out of town! She was attentive to his needs, and even helped him take his medication each day! She was communicative with us and asked questions when things came up regarding his care. We really appreciated Sarah’s compassionate care with our pet!

Anna is fantastic! She is great at communicating before and during the sit. My 3 dogs were so well taken care of which helps us enjoy time away. Highly recommend!

House was left in great condition and our dogs seemed well taken care of! Even though one of our labs was a little nervous, we got reassurance from Gabrielle that all had settled once we left. Thank you!

Wow--what can I say? Mae was such a delight to have watch our dog and home while we were gone. She was so friendly and fun and clearly took great care of our boy. She sent updates twice a day, which I loved. She also graciously rolled with the punches when we had some unexpected home hiccups, like a water shutoff and power issue! I would absolutely book her again!

Best attention to detail from any dog Sitter I have had thus far! And, as others have stated, Kevin, is an artist and did beautiful renderings of my two pups! Really appreciated his attention to detail and care!

Arianna did great with Porkchop! She was punctual to his feeding times and he looked happy and healthy when we returned. We will keep her in mind for future bookings!

Krissy is always our first choice for overnight trips. All our pets love her and the house is always in perfect condition when we get home. I appreciate all the photos and communication throughout the stay. Thanks Krissy!

Scott was awesome with our three dogs. We got a puppy three weeks before he came to stay and Scott came to our house twice before his stay to visit and learn all about the dogs. We can home and the dogs looked super happy and healthy! Wouldn’t hesitate to use Scott again!

Stephen and his wife Donna were great dog sitters for Ozzi! They kept me updated regularly and were even able to accommodate our delayed return home and give Ozzi an extra walk!

Jennifer was amazing! She took excellent care of our 2 dogs for a long, snowy 8 days over the holidays, keeping us informed on their well-being and taking cute photos throughout. When our flight was cancelled and plans changed, she was completely flexible and caring, despite it meaning she had to drive home near midnight in the midst of a snowstorm. She also took good care of our home, and was conscientious and a joy to work with. I was very nervous leaving my fur babies for so long, but Jennifer made it easy!

Calvin (our dog!) was really excited to see Michael when he arrived. When we returned 4 hours later, he was happy to see us, but clearly was completely relaxed about our having left him for so long. This was the first time we’ve gone out to dinner in Chicago since we adopted Calvin 9 months ago! We’ve been working on his separation anxiety, and having Michael stay with him worked just great!

Ryan was great! He stayed overnight with my pets and kept them happy and healthy. Several of my pets get medications which he had no problem giving. I really appreciated all of the photos and updates he provided as well.
