“My dog was super hyped during the first meet and Anthony's calm energy helped him relax. On his first walk, my dog didn't even look back to see if I was coming which is a good sign that he enjoys his company. Definitely booking future services with Anthony. Thank you for your patience and kindness!”

About: Dog owner of 11 years, dog sitter for multiple friends and family, overnight care experience, walks, jogs, runs, playing fetch, local, and dogs are better than cats. My schedule is very open and my hours are also very flexible. Usually walks will be anytime from around 10am to anytime in the afternoon or night if requested. Well for starters I love to give my pets (other animals too) treats and toys. As for how I try to treat all animals as humans and give them the respect and love they deserve. Dogs are loyal, loving, and overall a man’s bestfriend.

6. Holly V.
About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.
7. Danielle G.
“Danielle has cared for our precious fur babies many times over the years. She’s been out go-to walker and sitter whenever the need arises and she’s available. She always goes the extra mile with love and attention and both of our dogs absolutely adore her! She also does an especially good job with Desi, our border collie. He requires a lot of exercise during walks, and she’s always extra cognizant of that with him and plays ball with him to help try and wear him out lol! We so appreciate her attention and empathy when it comes to our dogs. I would highly recommend Danielle and her dog care services to everyone! She does an amazing job and your pets will love her!”
8. Joselyn W.
“She’s so sweet, very friendly and communicating with her is so easy! She adores my dog and I know my dog loves her, I feel very comfortable leaving my boy with her!”
9. Robyn W.
“Robyn is exceptional with animals, and particularly the 4 legged kind! She has sat my pitty on several occasions while away on vacation. My fur baby always gets full attention from her and seems happy and comfortable at her home. I’ve known Robyn to not only feed dogs that need it, but bathes strays and gives flea baths out in the Dominican Republic. Personally, she’s helped homeless here in Chicago and shelters for battered women. She is all around a caring person. You won’t be disappointed with her care.”
10. Izzy B.

12. Christina R.
“Christina is great with my cat! She made sure to send plenty of photos of my cat and kept me up to date on everything! She is always my go to person for when I need a pet sitter! She treated my cat like her own which is great! My cat is super shy and likes to stay to herself but Christina changed that for me!”
13. Hailey P.
About: I’ve worked at a vet for about a year now in the back taking care of the dogs boarding. I’ve had the training and opportunities to take care of many animals, dogs, cats rabbits and of all sizes. Love working with them. I have had dogs for as long as I could remember. I’ve always been comfortable and very responsible while taking care of animals. I am also currently in school to be a Veterinary Technician which has helped me with learning to administer meds, CPR, wound care, behavioral concerns, etc. I have also gotten a lot of experience working at a vet as well as having my own animals or watching friends/ families animals. Pet is a daily thing for me, whether it be caring for my own animals, family friends animals, or even the animals I have to care for at school. It is one of the most important things to me, being a voice for animals. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home so it a a constant thing to make sure they’re all cared for. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them etc. It would be the same for me taking care of a clients pet. Feeding, watering, playing or walking, or cuddles. What is best for your pet and most comfortable for them.
14. Krystle M.
“Ive known Krystle for about 3 years now, and since then her love for animals have never failed to amaze me. I wish everyone in this world had the same love, care, compassion, and sympathy for animals that Krystle does. She has 2 animals of her own, and she treats them as if they are her own children. I would say even better then some may treat their own children. She makes sure they always have an abundance of toys to keep them entertained when she is not actively playing with them. Additionally, Krystle makes sure they have nothing but the best food available to them. Krystle spends time researching ingredients in the food she gives her pets by making sure there are no fillers, additives, preservatives, ect. buying organic despite the cost. This is one of the many things i admire about her. If you could look into Krystles eyes when around an animal, any animal, then you would see her true love for them. Krystle has an abundance of love to give, and i strongly believe that she would adopt and care for every anima in this world if she could.”
15. Annie S.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life! They are always my favorite people and the best at brightening your day. I don’t currently have a dog but I miss them, I am happy to be around them and have experience with all basic tasks of feeding, walking and playing and cleaning up. I am currently between jobs, so I am widely available outside of dropping off and picking up my daughter from school. I would ideally like to take care of pets during the day but I am flexible. We have a fenced in yard for your dog to run around in safely. I have also been trusted to take care of friends dogs while they are away, coming in to feed them, and either let them out in their yard or take them for a walk or to a dog park. I always prefer instructions to follow, just in case your dog has a particular timed routine, diet or other needs.
16. Lexi M.
About: Hello! My name is Lexi, and I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs. For about 7 years now, family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs. I have worked at an animal hospital as a kennel technician as well as been a dog bather. I have learned so much from those jobs and gained a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. Working at those jobs has also helped me learn about dog behaviors and how to properly deal with them. If you choose me to be your dog walker/sitter, I can promise your baby will be in great hands! I currently have a full time job, so I will set up my calendar around that to show my availability! I will try my best to work around my schedule for my clients At my client’s homes I always make sure the dog(s) I am caring for are comfortable and happy. I am great at following directions carefully when it comes to instructions that pet parents leave for me, since that was my main responsibility at my previous job as a kennel technician. I also make time to cuddle, play with, and exercise your digs so they are as happy as can be!
17. Vince P.
About: Growing up I cared for my two dogs, an Australian cattle dog mix and a German shepherd. We loved them both to the ripe old ages of 16 and 12 respectively. In high school I spent my free time at the local animal shelter volunteering to walk and play with the various dog breeds. My entire life I have loved caring for all types of animals, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to meet even more. I am currently a college student attending school 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). All other days of the week I am free to be booked! My yard is big, but unfenced so I will have to have your dog on a leash for our walks and playtime. I do own a crate and can use it if necessary, but all the specific care instructions can be discussed individually.
