“Super easy to work with and I feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog in Kate’s care. She lets me know when she has walked and sends a picture. She is a Mom herself and understands that we can worry about our fur babies.”

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own.

She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”

“Sabrina came into our lives when we were in the midst of handling a family emergency. I did not realize how much I would need her to be there for my dog. I had to come and go, and I had to be flexible with my schedule. I did not know if Sabrina would be able to be flexible with her schedule, and I couldn’t guarantee when I would be home. Sabrina understood right away what needed to be done. It was such a relief, knowing that my pup was in such a loving hands. On top of this, the family emergency happened almost at the moment that I met Sabrina. Sabrina was an absolute angel. She went out of her way to make sure that our pup felt completely comfortable with her. She spent time, and was able to manage her on walks, which is no small task, considering how strong she is. I highly recommend Sabrina. She is a compassionate person who cares deeply about dogs, and their parents.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of many breeds ever since I was a little girl. I took care of feeding, exercising, and bathing our dogs for my family. I also work as a kennel tech at autumn green hospital where I take care of pets daily including bathing, feeding , playing with and giving medication. I currently work as a kennel tech, and my schedule is kind of all over the place. However, I can bring your pet to work with me after they are reviewed by my boss to make sure they pass their rabies and fecal tests. I’m available Saturday mornings until 1 PM and am free all day on Sundays! I will update this note on a month-to-month basis depending on my schedule. If I were in your home, I would let your pet warm up to me first. Then, I would make sure they have clean water and food, follow any instructions you have for me, and give them lots of cuddles and love to keep them happy.

About: I have had at least a part in caring for dogs since I was five years old, when my family adopted our West Highland White Terrier. Since I was little, I have been a dog lover. After graduating college, I adopted my first golden retriever puppy, and I now currently have a five year old English Cream Golden Retriever. I've house trained both of my golden retrievers, and have experience with everywhere from eight week old puppies needing to be house broken through senior dogs. I make sure to take the time every day to provide both mental stimulation, and physical exercise to my own English Cream Golden Retriever, and make it a goal to always be teaching him a new trick. Whether you're looking for someone to play with/walk your fur baby, or if you're looking for him/her to have a safe place to stay while you're away, I will always make sure to provide them the same care and love like I would my own. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, so I am able to take time regularly throughout the day and night to play, walk, and let your pup run around in the backyard. I have a fenced in back yard and a five year old English Cream Golden Retriever (and all of his toys) to keep your fur baby occupied.

About: I have been a pet owner since I was 7 years old. I am well versed in taking care of cats or dogs, any size. I have experience with short and long haired cats, and big and small dogs. I previously owned a 90 lb mutt (forever in my heart) and I take care of other dogs ranging from pit bulls to mini labradoodles. I have two cats that are the light of my life. I am constantly asked to watch my families pets and I do it with a smile on my face. I just love animals! I am currently working part time, so my schedule varies from week to week. I am more than willing to stop by during my break if needed, or before or after work and on my days off. I currently live in an apartment that only allows dogs under 25 lbs, but don’t worry, I am more than willing to come hang out with the big pups if needed.

About: I have lived with large dogs my entire life and have been put in charge of caring for them overnight and long periods of time for about 10 years. I have experience training dogs and have exceptional patience in every aspect of pet care. I live with three large dogs currently- which includes feeding (early morning and mid evening,) walks, and various other care needs - so I am more than capable of caring for animals at whatever time needed. I am good with slow introductions for anxious animals, and proficient with acclimating and calming down hyper animals. I have excellent skill in reading animals’ body language and curating according responses.

About: Se habla español / すこしにほんごをしっています I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from wild puppies to gentle seniors. With experience handling both small and large dogs, I know how to balance fun, structure, and patience to help every pup feel safe and happy. I own a high-energy Portuguese Water Dog and grew up with calm, funny pugs, so I’m comfortable adapting to all personalities, energy levels, and sizes. My schedule is flexible and I can work around most pup’s schedules and needs. I am unavailable on Tuesdays, but available the rest of the week! My motto is to always love and care for others as if it was my own, no matter the personality or need. They are like people: they need intentionality, care, attention, and love, and some of the ways I try to incorporate that into my regular care is by wiping their paws and mouth with dog safe wipes after a walk/outdoor time. My dog is like my son to me, and I want to offer the same kind of love and care to those that might need extra help with walks throughout the week.

About: I have 3 large dogs in my household, all of very different personalities. On top of that, friends and family have also relied on me to take care of their pets while they are away as well. Recently, I have taken interest in animal rescue, and have helped rescue and send an injured mallard to the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors. I am currently a student at west aurora highschool, and I am a member of the national honor society. I come home to my three dogs and sometimes go to Oswego to take care of my families pets over there as well. I will be able to regularly check up on your pets and keep them well hydrated and fed. As well as going on walks to stay active.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two cats and a bearded dragon of my own, and I understand how much our pets mean to our family. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m attentive to making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. I work primarily as a server and bartender in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability during the day to care for your pets! I am always off on Tuesdays and Sundays, so I have full availability those days for walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays. On the days I work, I’m generally available throughout the morning and afternoon, and can work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible! My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to follow their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m also very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so I treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away.

About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

About: I’m a very active sitter, I love to walk, drive, waltz and run. I may also do a hand-drawn portrait of your dog, in addition to making sure they are very well taken care of. c: I love big dogs and lil angels. Afternoon walks, early and late morning strolls, dinner and late night walks are my peak times. A lot of peaks in the day. Weekends are for the birds though. If in your home, I will make sure they stay in the zone you’d like, are well fed and get plenty of outside time. I used to have a dog with allergies so I will make sure they get any medications if needed. In my home as well, we have three very loving people, big open spaces, a nice neighborhood to play.

About: I currently work at a dog facility where we offer daycare and boarding, which has given me hands-on experience caring for many different breeds, personalities, and sizes of dogs. I also have two dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs and enjoy taking them on walks and keeping them active. I genuinely love meeting new dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me! I currently work part-time at a dog facility and have school on some Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m unavailable those days. I’m available for dog walks on other weekdays and weekends, depending on my work schedule. I’ll always do my best to be flexible and find a time that works for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience taking care of dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities through my job at a dog facility. During walks, I’ll follow your instructions, stay attentive to your dog, and make sure they have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
