“Lilian did an amazing job taking care of my dog. She followed all of my instructions carefully and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. At one point, my dog was feeling sad and wouldn’t eat on her own, so Lilian even hand-fed her to make sure she got something to eat. She also sent me photos and kept me updated throughout the entire time. Communication with her was excellent, and I always felt reassured knowing my dog was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and kindness she showed my dog. I would definitely recommend Lilian!”

About: After caring for my own dogs as well as others, I understand the different personalities and routines that come with each! My goal is to make sure your pup feels loved and understood. I am especially familiar with rescue dogs who may need a little extra reassurance and love, as I have one at home. I can accommodate to your pup, and am notably familiar with the needs of senior pups! I will be as patient as needed and treat every dog like my own! I am a certified flight instructor currently applying for jobs! I would love to use my free time as a chance to get to connect with your pup! I offer dog walking and in home check ins. My days are pretty open in the mornings-late afternoon, so any opportunity I get to spend with a furry friend is a good one! I unfortunately do not offer pups in my home but take that as an opportunity to fit into your dog’s schedule, not the other way around. Being aware I am the one coming into their space is very important to me. I will make it my goal to learn everything needed about your pups routine and personality to make them as comfortable as possible

About: I grew up with a husky and a purebred Lab, so I know how to handle big, energetic dogs who need real exercise and a confident walker. I also helped care for hamsters and parrots, which taught me patience and attention to each animal’s routine and needs. Back home in California, I spent my free time volunteering at animal shelters, working with dogs and cats of every size, age, and temperament, including shy or anxious pets who needed extra gentleness. I’m a huge dog person, but I love cats just as much. Now in Illinois for medical school, I bring the same reliability, focus, and calm under pressure to every walk and visit. I have a flexible weekly schedule in medical school that allows me to take class from home or on campus. I have some required on campus requirements, but this typically only persists for a few hours. My campus is only 20 minutes from Oak Park. When I care for your pet in your home, I follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules, so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I’m first aid trained and experienced giving oral medications in both liquid and capsule form, so I can respond calmly if something goes wrong and make sure medications are given exactly as you’ve instructed. On walks, I use a secure leash and harness, watch for hazards like traffic, other dogs, and anything they shouldn’t eat, and adjust the pace to your dog’s age and energy level. I treat your home with respect, keep doors and gates closed, and leave everything as I found it. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing, and I’ll reach out right away if anything seems off. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

About: With 14 years of personal experience caring for my own dogs, cat, and lizard, I really understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, love, and consistency. What sets me apart is the empathy I bring from being a lifelong pet parent, not just a sitter. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my babies. I do not currently have a job, so I have lots of time to play with your pets! My schedule in the mornings is taking care of my own pets, and then errands and friends and such. In a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and their routine consistent. I respect your space, clean up after myself and your pet, and make sure they get the love, attention, and care they’re used to while you’re away!

About: I enjoyed dog sitting for several different families throughout high school, ranging between a 3 month old rottweiler puppy & a 17 year old miniature poodle. I also had a staffordshire-pit of my own for 9 years, alongside an 8 year old cat I currently have! I’m an animal lover who loves to meet new fur babies & a fellow pet owner who would love to help out in times of need! I currently work a hybrid job. On days that I work from home, I’ll have more flexibility to check up on your fur baby! On days that I’m working on-site, I’m available early mornings or later in the evening after 7pm. I enjoy following clear & concise instructions, not only as to how you’d like me to care for your fur baby, but also how you’d feel comfortable with me entering your space! I understand the stress of having people in your home, & having the responsibility to care for your pet — I don’t take these things lightly!

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, energetic, friendly, and even those who need a little extra patience and attention. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m even more experienced with cats, having grown up around them my entire life! I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience administering insulin shots to cats and am comfortable following specific care routines and instructions. I currently have almost complete availability, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I'm very flexible. Reach out to me for scheduling. I'm used to many varying sets of rules from house to house when it comes to pets. Let me know where they should and shouldn't be and I'll make sure to keep to that!

About: I currently have two cats whom I love and devote lots of my time to! I have also grown up with several dogs and small pets that have given me the experience of performing a variety of different tasks and responsibilities. I am a researcher at Lincoln Park Zoo and am switching to part-time work for the fall, so I have a great amount of flexibility in my schedule. For drop-in visits, I am capable of doing whatever is needed (crating, feeding, playing, etc.). I have experience walking difficult dogs who would rather walk me instead, so I am confident I can manage that, as well as putting on a harness/leash. :-)

About: Hi, I’m Jeff! I’ve been walking dogs since I was 13 and caring for big dogs since I was 22. After my family’s beloved big dog passed, I realized how much I missed having pups in my life, which led me to start walking and sitting dogs for others. Every dog I walk becomes like a brother or sister to me. I have three years of professional experience and a deep knowledge of the Oak Park area, ensuring safe, fun, and enriching walks. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs in real time, and I provide clear, timely updates so you know how your pup is doing, including any potential needs I notice. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, or check-ins, your dog will be cared for with love, respect, and clear communication. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and giving them the care they deserve! I’m currently working part time, and have a few pups already on my schedule. I am available for early day walks (7:00am - 9:30am) all week, and Sunday from noon - 2:30pm. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I only provide care at your home, ensuring your pup stays in their familiar environment where they feel secure and relaxed. Before I leave each visit, I make sure your dog is calm, has fresh water, and is settled. I double-check that all doors are locked, leashes and supplies are put away properly, and your home is secure. You can trust that your dog is safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

About: 3 dog owner here, including a tripod. Two boys and a girl all came to us from people who could no longer care for them. Two were from former students and one from the husband of a colleague. During the academic school year my work hours are from 7:45 am to 3:00 pm. I'm a full-time teacher and I also want to play with your dogs. My school hours are 7:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I am happy to work out drop off, pick up, hang out time and potty breaks. My dogs have front and back fenced-in yards to hang out and run around. They are able to roam the house all day. They go on walks twice a day and we have recently incorporated logic toys to keep them sharp.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—from Jinx, my childhood black lab who taught me loyalty, to Bear, the calmest and wisest German shepherd you could ever meet. These days my parents’ pack includes Nacho (a rescue with a spinal condition who gets around just fine with some help) and Walker, a high-energy Alabama coonhound who’s basically chaos on four legs. I’m also a regular house-sitter for two wonderful pit bulls, Chi-Chi and Lechleeto, and I’m comfortable with dogs of every personality and size—from sweet blockheads and seniors who need meds and gentle care, to high-energy pups who think "walk" means "drag the human through the neighborhood." I’ve helped with mobility issues, given oral and topical medications, and logged more hours playing fetch than I can count. I take a patient, upbeat approach to every dog I meet. My schedule’s flexible, and whether your pup needs a walk, a buddy for the day, overnight house-sitting, or a whole lot of belly rubs, I’m here for it! 26 years of animal experience (8 years of independent care) I work a 9-5 in Old Irving Park. I'm happy to stop by before or after work, and on the weekends anytime! If you're in the Avondale/Old Irving Park area, I can do lunchtime stops too. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining their normal routines and environment. I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize their safety and well-being while you’re away.

Erin was amazing! She took such great care of Auggie (my cat). She sent such detailed and personal updates each day that made it clear she was giving personalized attention to her and really getting to know her personality. She sent such cute and happy pictures each visit and made sure to update us on all the completed tasks. She even let us know when the thermostat was low and the house was getting too chilly. We highly recommend and would definitely use her services again. Erin is clearly very dedicated and went above and beyond what we had expected. Thank you!

Maya is the dream pet sitter! We have two chronically ill cats on medication, one with behavioral issues, and one that wants attention all day. She took amazing care of all of them.
