About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs. I have studied dog behavior and group play through lessons given by my employment at the dog resort. I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodl), a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!

“Greatly appreciated knowing that Tucker was being treated like family. It was obvious Elaina cared about his comfort and happiness while he stayed with her.”

“We were highly satisfied with services provided by Brianna. She was super easy to work with and so friendly and courteous. Also she gave us great updates complete with pictures. We will definitely use her again when needed.”

About: I have experience with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of playtime, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra care and comfort. I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being outside and spending time with animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed by giving them lots of love, supervision, and a calm environment. I enjoy being outside, so walks and outdoor play are something I really enjoy doing with dogs.

“Overall great experience! Great communication from Lyndsey. She would send daily pictures and I could see how happy Kira (German/Australian Shepherd mix) was to be there. Was very easy to pick up and drop off. Kira also loved the homemade treats Lyndsey provided. Will continuously recommend her.”

“Thank you, Deepa, for taking such good care of our Coco. Deepa kept us updated on Coco every day. We felt completely at ease during our vacation, knowing Coco was in a home where she was loved just as much as we love her.”

“Kallie was very sweet and used good judgement when exposing my old girl to her pups. Pippa was very content and happy at pickup. I would recommend Kallie to watch your pup 🐶”

“Aric did a great job with our 3 yr old Rottweiler. Our dog has never stayed with anyone before and our first experience with a full blown kennel over a year ago was a call to come get your dog after he was there for less than 1 hour. He ended up coming on our trip with us. This time we managed to be away for roughly 5 days and the dog was happy at Arics, happy dog, = happy owners! Will definitely use again!”

Laurie P.

“Crystal was great! Theo was exhausted when he came home after a week long stay because he played so hard with the other dogs. Will definitely be using her again ?”

Erika H.

“Andrew was great! Flexible, communicative, and totally trustworthy with Benji. We will use him again as our dog sitter very soon! Our new regular, when scheduling allows.”

About: Your peace of mind and their happiness are my top priorities! I am dedicated to providing peace of mind to pet parents while they’re away. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat them like family. When your fur babies are in my care, they’ll receive plenty of attention, snuggles, and love. I have a large, fenced-in backyard where they can play safely and enjoy the outdoors. You will receive many updated, pics and videos while your pet is here having fun. I’m home 90% of the time and make it a priority to plan my activities around what best suits your pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s sticking to their diet, getting the perfect amount of playtime, or providing them with rest when needed, I tailor everything to their routine. I ensure that your pets feel included in everything I do, making them feel like they’re part of my family during their stay. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. My life revolves around my clients’ schedules, and I always plan activities based on the pet’s specific needs. I try to stay home as much as possible, ensuring the pets feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings. During the day, your pets are free to hang out with me in the living room, kitchen, or even my bedroom. I aim to provide a routine that feels familiar and comforting to each pet, adjusting based on their personality and needs. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and at home as possible during their stay! I care for pets with the same attention and love that I would give my own. In my home, I have a large, fenced-in backyard perfect for playtime and outdoor fun. I’m also centrally located in a wooded neighborhood, right across from a beautiful forest preserve, which means lots of fresh air and opportunities for nature walks. My split-level home gives me the ability to separate pets if there’s ever any tension, ensuring a peaceful environment for everyone. I’m home most of the time, so I’m always available to stick to your pet’s proper diet and administer any medication they may need. I’m flexible with pick-up times to accommodate your schedule, and I make sure that boarders in my home are treated like part of the family. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or yours.

About: Reliable in-home pet sitter focused on overnight house sitting and routine-based care. I help pets stay comfortable in their own home environment with consistent feeding, walks, play, and companionship. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets and pets that require medication or special attention. My approach is calm, structured, and dependable. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine and keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I maintain a consistent full-time work schedule during the day, but I specialize in structured overnight house sitting and routine-based care. Pets in my care receive: • Morning care (feeding, walks, attention) • Evening care (feeding, exercise, companionship) • Overnight presence in your home Most pets do well with a stable routine and normal daytime alone time. I ensure consistent care before and after work, as well as overnight supervision. Clear communication and reliability are priorities for me throughout each stay. I treat every home with respect and follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal environment and routine. Safety, cleanliness, and attention to detail are my priorities. I ensure doors, routines, and pet care instructions are followed exactly as provided. If anything unusual occurs, I communicate quickly and clearly so you’re always informed.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 27 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I am attentive, dependable, and comfortable administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I provide patient, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full time stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule. I am free to care for your pet all day every day of the week. I currently have a 4 year old lab mix who is nervous around strangers, but he loves to play with other dogs. My daughter is currently 13 months old, so if your pet will be in my home, all I ask is that they are potty trained and can be good/gentle with kids, for my daughter’s safety. Our dog is an indoor/outdoor dog. He spends most of his time inside, but he likes to play outside in our fenced in yard during the day as long as the weather is good. We have a screened-in porch with a fan for him to rest in while he is outside, too. He is free to go in and out of it as he pleases. Our dog is free-fed, but we are also used to following feeding schedules from caring for our elderly dog who recently passed, as well as my family’s dogs. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment with consistent care and attention. If desired, I can offer daily walks, whether your pets are boarding with me or receiving drop-in visits. I can also play fetch and provide medication administration, as I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Every dog deserves companionship and care. I can ensure they receive plenty of affection, attention, and individualized care from myself, my husband, and my daughter. She is very gentle with animals and absolutely loves interacting with them—it’s truly sweet to watch. I offer flexible care options to accommodate different routines and needs, whether your pet requires simple visits or more structured boarding care.

“Megan and Jeff took such great care of our pup, Kona, from Thursday to Sunday. From the start, they were incredibly responsive and communicative, which made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. They sent regular updates and pictures, so we always knew how Kona was doing. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they watch, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kona came back happy and well cared for, which says everything. We would absolutely trust Megan and Jeff again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful pet sitters!”

Patty H.

“I always get worried about leaving my GSD because he’s a GSD and a little high strung sometimes. With Emily and Samuel I didn’t have to worry at all. He was in great hands and I received pictures and updates. I felt like he was in great hands while I was away. 10/10 would highly recommend and will definitely book with them again!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 19 years. I've cared for three senior dogs of my own in the past, two who had chronic conditions. I have experience administering medication and providing special care. In addition, over the years, I've gained experience caring for the dogs of other owners. I'm retired and home full time. Your pet(s) will have all-day care. I'm fully devoted to caring for your pet(s). Your pet(s) will be pampered and spoiled as if he or she was one of my own. Your pet(s) will receive multiple potty breaks throughout the day. In addition, pet(s) will get daily play time in large fenced backyard and if requested, daily walks. I have a half an acre fenced backyard, so plenty of space for your pet(s) to run around and play. Clean dog beds, and if preferred for sleeping, crates with beds for all sizes. For the length of the stay, your pet(s) will be able to make himself or herself at home.

“Shannon was loving and caring towards our pups. She sent daily pictures and even gathered the babies a bath before we picked them up. So happy with her service and care.”
