About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and breeds, from a beloved Cocker Spaniel to two Giant Schnauzers and later a Pit Bull. Each one helped shape my love and understanding of animals and taught me how unique every pet’s personality can be. Today, I’m the proud owner of a French Bulldog who keeps me on my toes and a pet snake, giving me experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and family and am comfortable caring for feline companions as well. While attending Ball State University, I volunteered at local animal shelters, helping care for animals and supporting their daily needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or senior, I understand the importance of providing patience, attention, and loving care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I currently care for my own pets and understand the importance of consistency, attention, and reliability. I work as a State Farm agent in Chicago’s West Loop, and because it is a family-owned business that my family manages and operates daily, I have some flexibility within my schedule when needed. During the week, I am available for pet care before work, after work, and during my lunch break. Depending on the day and my workload, I may also have additional flexibility to accommodate specific care needs. On weekends, I typically have more availability and can provide extra time and attention for walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and companionship. I am careful not to overbook myself because I believe every pet deserves quality care and attention. When I accept a booking, you can trust that I have the time and availability to provide dependable, attentive care and ensure your pet remains safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding services in my home due to my own pets. However, I am happy to provide a variety of other services, including drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, and personalized in-home pet care. My goal is to ensure your pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, medication administration, exercise, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs.

“I recommend Marisol and would give 6 stars if I could. She stayed in our home and watched our large anxious dog over July 4th when there were massive storms. I did not have to worry one bit about our dog's nerves, as she did everything possible to comfort him when he was scared (stormed for days!). She followed all of my instructions beautifully, gave detailed updates, and left my house clean and tidy. Marisol exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely use her again and refer her to my friends and family!”

“Lisa was amazing with our 3 dogs. They are not really people dogs and she was able to get them to warm up to her. She stayed at our house which made us more comfortable to leave them. She was neat and tidy! We will definitely be booking with her again!”

Kori K.

“Tara is outstanding! She goes above & beyond. Tara is very kind to my dogs & treats them like her own babies. I can tell they were so happy and well taken care of. My dogs love her & we appreciate the comfort & walks she provided to them.”

“Stephanie takes great care of Lilah Blue -- he levelheadedness and great communication is especially appreciated when things go a little sideways (thanks to Lilah's obsession with squirrels/rabbits.)”

Darice B.

“Diane was so kind and wonderful with our senior dog. She made such an effort to get to know us and our dog’s needs. She communicated clearly throughout her short stay. We can’t wait to book her again!”

Stone H.

“Arie is amazing!! This was my first booking with her and she was so great about communicating and sending updates throughout the day, letting me know how Millie was doing eating and stuff, and being flexible fitting visits in with her own dog’s routine and her work schedule. I appreciated having someone so attentive, and I cannot recommend Arie enough!”

Isabel C.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Brit! She took amazing care of our senior lab and our two cats while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our older dog can need a little extra care, and Brit handled everything with patience and compassion. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a house just as we left it. Highly recommend Brit to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

Rhonda H.

“Katalina gave us great peace of mind watching our dog Avery. She gave regular updates and pictures of our pup, and she was clear and friendly in her communication. Such a professional who wants to make sure your fur baby is taken care ofb”

Drew A.

“She was great!!! Took care of copper like we would!!! Will definitely use her again”

Jeffrey Z.

“Thank you for everything, Kat! You took such great care of our 3 dogs- especially one who is medically fragile. Not many sitters could have handled that situation. We appreciate your attention to detail and frequent updates. You gave us reassurance that everything was going smoothly so we could enjoy our time away.”

Melissa M.

“Just like any dog parent, I am very picky about who I let watch Oz, not because he's difficult, I am! Nichole was AMAZING! Exceeded all of my expectations and really took care of my baby. She took him on a 6 mile walk (wow), sent pictures of him along the way, and kept me updated about how he was doing! I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Oz, I know he enjoyed having her hang out with him for the evening and I am extremely grateful we found her!”

Jessica H.

“We have 2 cats, one who has always done well with sitters and I knew would be fine, and one who had never been away from us and always hides when guests come over. Maired did great with both of them! She stayed in our house while we were out of town and by the end of her stay both cats were playing, cuddling, eating just like they would if we were there. Our whole goal with getting a sitter was to disturb their routine as little as possible and she did exactly that! We received daily updates and photos while we were away and came back to a clean, well kept home. Highly recommend!”

Meg M.

“Alexis took great care of our home and pets during her second stay. She was communicative and thoughtful about updates and leaving our place tidy. Thanks again for sitting over the holiday! We'll be back. :-)”

Hannah C.

“Jorie was an amazing sitter !! I received detailed updates every day while I was gone and she did a fantastic job following my senior dogs medicine and feeding routine. I will definitely be booking again 😊”

Alex I.

“Mia was a great Rover sitter! She followed all of my instructions and took really good care of my dogs. I have one senior dog, and she was especially great with her. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, so I knew they were in good hands. I would definitely use Mia again!”

About: I have been a dog lover for many years and had the privilege of taking care of a chihuahua and a pug throughout their lives. Being a pet owner taught me the importance of patience and paying attention to each dogs needs and personality. I understand that pets are family, and i know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing together, I’ll provide attentive and loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide care to your pup after work during the weekends. I’m completely available on wednesdays and weekends. Your pets safely and comfort are my top priorities. I have a calm, secure environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I currently do not have any animals so your animals can enjoy an stress-free environment. As for in-home visits, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their routine and ensure they feel secure and cared for in their home.

“Lizbeth is a life saver! She was able to help me take care of my 10 year old German Shepard at a last minute notice and she took such good care of him. She kept in constant communication and send pictures with updates and how my dog was doing. She went out of her way to take very good care of him and I came back home to a happy doggo. She’s highly recommended and I will definitely be using her services in the future.”

“Grace did a great job watching our dogs for a long weekend. Her flexible schedule allowed her to come over after we left and spend extra time with our dogs, which I'm sure they loved. She got along with them great and sent us photos and updates everyday. She was also a clean and courteous house guest. Couldn't ask for more! Thanks Grace!”
