About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

“When you drop your doggy off you can tell that Patricia is someone who truly loves dogs. She always has playmates which is perfect for my puppy to socialize and he always comes home to me happy and tired! Definetely recommend she is very flexible with time as well.”

About: I'm Victor a homeowner in Hoffman Estates with a fenced backyard and a genuine love for dogs. Your dog gets my full attention: structured walks, a safe yard to run, and a calm home environment. I keep owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day. Small things matter to me because your dog matters to you. I'm currently working full-time and have time to walk dogs after 6 p.m., I'm available on weekends as well upon request. Weekends availability if needed. I can responsibly walk your dog without distractions, that means not checking my cellphone every minute during the walk. If house sitting is needed, I am a home owner with fenced back yard and empty unfurnished basement.

“Erena day sat for our dog, Cinnamon, while we were on a day trip as a family. She was easy to communicate with, accommodating, and welcoming to Cinnamon. It was clear to us that she wanted Cinnamon to feel at home, and she eased Cinnamon very gently into an unfamiliar situation. Erena also shared pictures of Cinnamon with us during the day. We would gladly use Erena again!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. We have had family dogs growing up and we raised since puppies. I have also dog sat and taken care many friends/ family dogs of all ages. I was a nanny in high school and college and would take care of their dogs as well. I have experience with dog sitting/boarding up to 3 dogs at once. My days are very flexible and I will have plenty of time to feed, play with, and walk dogs at any hour on the days of the week I am available. My husband also works from home full time and loves to help out with walks/playing! We have a fenced in yard. We do not have a dog of our own so your dog will get all of the attention! We have plenty of room to fit a crate if necessary. We also have a gate to fence off the upstairs part of the house if necessary as well.

“Melanie was so great to accept a last- minute booking due to a family medical emergency. Thanks for taking great care of Daniella!”

“Monica and Eric were absolutely fantastic! The took the time to talk with us on a meet and greet a few days before we dropped our dog off. Our little guy had a great time with them and they sent multiple picutures thoroughout the day. We will definitely be using them in the future!”

About: I am comfortable walking and taking care of any size dog. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of wide range of breeds from Pittbulls to Labradors. I am in general an animal lover. I am available for walking, boarding, sitting and house visits. I love taking care of animals. I am available on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I am very flexible and can accommodate whatever you may need. I have a fenced in yard for the pups to play in and enjoy. I also love taking dogs on walks whenever the weather permits.

“Our dog is very particular and we searched for a good sitter and Christine put our mind at ease. Communication was great and our dog, Chloe, fell very comfortable with her. We will use Christine in the future for our dog's sitting needs for sure.”

About: I've been around pets me whole life. I have always loved dogs of all sizes. My parents owned Shih Tzus since I was a kid and I was constantly around close family members' German Shepherds as well. I've done drop-ins countless times over the years for cats of friends and family. Now along with my husband, we live with our dog, Melon, and our cat, Amy. Melon is a 50lb 1-year-old mix breed, and Amy is an 11-year-old senior cat. They can be hectic and they keep us on our toes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! When your pets are in my care, I'll always treat them with all the love and adoration I give my own. I am currently between full-time jobs, so my schedule tends to be open and very flexible for caring for your pets, whether it be on weekdays or the weekend. For pet care at your home, I will prioritize sticking to whatever routine keeps you and your pets comfortable and happy! I know how stressful it can be when family members aren't home, and will do whatever your pets need to know that they are safe and loved even in your absence. If your dog comes to stay at my house, you can take comfort in knowing they'll have access to a fully fenced back yard to run and play in, so they are secure and entertained. My dog, Melon, LOVES other dogs and nothing would make her happier than a new friend coming over to hang out with her.

About: For the past 8 years, I have been providing off-and-on sitting, boarding, and walking care for various relatives' dogs. Through caring for family pets, ranging from energetic Boxers to gentle Cockapoos, I have gained extensive, hands-on experience handling different temperaments, routines, and unique canine behaviors. While household allergies mean I am unable to have a full-time dog of my own, opening up my schedule to part-time pet sitting allows me to bring my passion for dogs into my daily life. This setup works beautifully for my clients, as it means your dog receives 100% of my focused attention and care during their time with me, without competing for space with a resident pet. Because I am currently doing pet care full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and open. I am available throughout the day for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-in visits, seven days a week. This open availability means I can easily accommodate your dog’s specific routine, feeding times, and potty schedule without rush. Whether you need a reliable midday walker while you are at the office, or a flexible sitter for last-minute weekend plans, I am here to provide consistent, dedicated care when you need it most. Safety on Walks & Drop-Ins Safety is my absolute top priority. When walking your dog, I practice active situational awareness—I monitor the environment for triggers like loud traffic, bicycles, or off-leash dogs well before they become an issue. I use a secure, two-handed leash grip and never let your dog off-leash in public spaces. If your dog is sensitive or easily spooked, I am happy to take quieter routes and use positive reinforcement to keep them feeling safe and secure. My Home Environment (For Short-Term Boarding) I live in a clean, smoke-free home with a secure, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely stretch their legs under my direct, 100% supervision. I do not have any resident dogs or cats, meaning your pup will enjoy a peaceful environment without the stress of competing for space. We do share our home with a few securely housed reptiles (a Ball Python, a DeKay's Brown Snake, and two leopard geckos) who live strictly inside their locked enclosures, completely out of reach of guest dogs. Because we manage a saliva allergy in our household, my home is kept exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and structured. We maintain excellent boundaries: guest dogs are kept out of bedrooms and are safely crated during bedtime or if I ever need to step out for a brief moment. Your dog will receive a wonderful balance of structure, safety, and a whole lot of love.

“Kristina was amazing with Bear! Very accommodating with the short notice and the communication, we will definitely be leaving Bear again in the future. Her knowledge and love for dogs shows in their care. Thank you Kristina!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve had animals in my home since I was young, and over the years I’ve helped care for pets for elderly owners when they were unable to themselves. I have experience with boarding, bathing, light grooming, reinforcing owner-trained commands, and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from teacup poodles to Great Danes and pitbulls. I’ve also administered oral medications and cared for diabetic dogs and pets with health needs. Building trust with both pets and owners is something I truly value, and I’m grateful to have had many repeat clients over the years. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom who already spends a lot of time being active with my family and our own dog. We live in a gated community with great walking and running trails, so runs, walks, playtime, and exercise are already part of our day. I’m home often, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, care, and supervision throughout the day. I care for pets based on their individual routines and owner preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Safety is my top priority, and interaction with other dogs, including my own, only happens with owner permission. Pets receive supervised potty breaks, walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of care throughout the day, with routines kept as consistent as possible both in my home and in clients’ homes.

About: The phrase man’s (or woman’s) best friend is extremely fitting for me! I connect so well with animals, and have always been a reliable source for family, friends, neighbors, and more! I have dog walked, pet sit for cats and dogs, and taken care of pets (including my own dog) since I was 10 years old. Animals are a huge part of my life and I want to surround myself with them more! I currently am a sports photographer so I only go in at most once per week to capture photos and videos, and then I edit at home. Sometimes it gets lonely, so I would absolutely love to take care of a pet whenever I can! I have a perfect dog park in my neighborhood, a nice walking path where sometimes there are other furry friends out for walks so we can meet them if they are interested, and a cozy home that welcomes any pet!
