About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient, observant, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m experienced with maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to stay relaxed and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my schedule around being responsible, active, and consistent. I have the flexibility to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets attention and companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels rewarding rather than stressful. Throughout the week, I make sure pets have a stable routine, plenty of supervision, and a comfortable environment where they can feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and exercise throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on time, walked, given fresh water, and receive companionship and care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take the trust you're placing in me. I understand that pets are family and leaving them in someone else's care can be difficult. That's why I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. I take the time to learn their unique personality (energetic, shy, or just needs a little extra attention), routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have the flexibility to give them the attention they deserve. With an open schedule, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I know that being away from their owner can be an adjustment for some pets, so I do my best to create a calm, loving, and familiar environment where they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for and happy, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in compassionate and dependable hands. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and dog walks, I make it a priority to maintain the routine they're familiar with, so they feel comfortable and at ease. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their needs, whether that's a fun walk, playtime, mealtime, or some extra attention and affection. My goal is to provide thoughtful, reliable care that keeps your pet happy while giving you confidence that they're in good hands.

About: Hey! I’m Patricia, and I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. I recently took a break after moving away for college, but now that I’m back, I’m excited to start pet sitting again! I’m responsible, reliable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pawfect family! 🐾🤍🤍 My schedule is very flexible, and I’m currently available Monday through Friday at any time since I’m not in school right now. On weekends, I’m available from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and look forward to providing dependable, loving care for your pets! I always keep plenty of treats on hand (with your permission) and live near a park, making it easy to take dogs on fun, safe walks and give them the exercise they need. I’m also happy to provide care in your home if your pet is more comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I’m caring for your pet at my place or yours, I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, and the best care possible while you’re away.

About: I Love animals. Especially dogs and cats. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all kind. Your pet will be staying in my home, so they will have the whole house to themselves. I take extra long walks to the park and the beach often. You will never find anyone more invested in your best friend. Every hour of every day is dedicated to caring for your best friend. I am very active. I go to the gym 5 days a week. Working with dogs and cats gives me what we need in order to stay fit and mental stable. I will have your doggies tired at the end of the day!! The doggies and kitties have the entire house to their self. I have a big home with 4 floors. I also have a large yard that is fenced in and totally secure. No one gets in or out unless I decide to.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and make it my priority to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and energy levels. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a Division I student-athlete, I have basketball practice Monday through Thursday until around 1:30 p.m., which makes me available for afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care during the week. My weekends are completely open, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy staying active, so whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply needs companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the same love and attention I give my own pets back home. Since I currently live in a dorm, I’m unable to provide pet care in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, organized, and exactly as I found it. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands.

About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I’ve worked with both young and older pets, and I’m patient, attentive, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to their routine and give them the care and attention they need. I also keep owners updated so you always know your pet is in good hands. I’m currently work weekends only, so I will be available throughout the week to care for pets. My schedule is flexible and open, to accommodate your needs. I care for pets by keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or playtime, and have a clean, safe space to relax. I pay attention to their behavior and adjust to their needs—whether they’re energetic or more calm. I also respect the client’s home, follow all instructions, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and doing well.

“We have been consistently using Beverly since our pup was 3 months old. Beverly does weekly walks for us as well as daycare and overnight stays. Charley loves her Beverly and she has quickly become part of our family.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. Mornings work the best at the moment but let me know what you need I’ll try to make it work :) I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. On other visits I try to get to your babies first as well, and of course your tips are always appreciated as you know them the best!

About: I've been a professional pet sitter since 2001. Currently my wife and I own a home in South Chicago, although most of my clients live in Hyde Park. I've been taking care of dogs in the Hyde Park area since college. I went to the University of Chicago. After school I managed a West Loop Doggie Daycare and Kennel. In 2006, I began working for myself and have maintained that as my only source of income. In that time I've cared for all types of dogs, from very old to very young and everything in between. I can also offer services to variety of temperaments and training stages. If we are a fit, my wife and I have two dogs, two cats, and 8 fishes who will be happy to meet you. I also offer training, doggie playgroups, and walks for clients in the area. I'm a full time pet sitter, so dogs will go out at least 5 times a day in a fence and secure yard and will not be left unattended. Dogs will generally spend the day with me and my dogs. I will separate them if I have to leave but generally that won't be for more than a few hours.

About: I grew up in a multi pet home and learned to walk, train and groom pets from a young age. I cared for the last family dog through her medically tedious senior years. Through college I pet sat and walked for friends and family. For 2 years I worked for a veterinary clinic, although my job was marketing I often was asked to assist with holding and monitoring patients. When I became a pet owner I adopted puppies raising them through potty and crate training. I am proud to say they continue to be healthy and happy. Now we foster and pet sit dogs of all ages and sizes because of the dog friendly environment we’ve created at home. My success in pet lies with gaining the pets trust. I approach them slowly and go at their pace, sitting and waiting on the ground if necessary. I am pet sitting and walking full time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to my clients! Dogs are typically walked and out between 7am and 9pm. I have a fully fenced yard with ample room for running and playing. There are four resident dogs who are friendly and used to guests. We can crate your pup or have them sleep in a bed or in bed with me. Water is available at all times through a 2 gallon water dispenser.

About: Hi there! I'm Tynetta, your neighborhood work-from-home pet auntie. 🐾 I work remotely during the day, which means your furry family member gets plenty of company, potty breaks, playtime, and belly rubs instead of being left alone for hours. Whether your pet is a professional napper, an energetic explorer, or simply wants someone nearby while they snooze, I'm happy to match their pace. Outside of pet sitting, I work in public health and spend my days helping people build healthier communities. Friends would describe me as calm, dependable, and ridiculously organized. Pets seem to appreciate that too. I'm happy to send regular photo updates (expect lots of candid "living their best life" moments), follow your pet's routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. A few fun facts about me: • I work from home, so your pet gets lots of companionship throughout the day. • I'm an early riser and love getting outside for walks. • I'm patient with shy pets and enthusiastic enough for the zoomie crowd. • I'm the kind of person who will absolutely learn your dog's favorite toy, your cat's preferred napping spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My goal is simple: when you come home, your pet is happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little disappointed that their vacation with me is over. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home most days. That means I'm around to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having a furry coworker keeping me company while I work! I also like starting and ending my day with walks, so caring for pets blends seamlessly into my schedule without leaving them alone for long stretches. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special preferences you share. I'll keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water, lots of affection (if they enjoy it!), and I'll send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they're doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

I love having new energy around me at all times :) I have a very safe apartment complex with an enclosed backyard. Lots of toys for them as well to make them feel comfortable! I’m attentive and a very good listener to all of their needs

About: Hi! My name is Arie and I can not wait to meet your furry family members!

I offer a variety of personalized services to keep your pet happy, healthy, and safe, such as dog walking, house sitting, and frequent photo updates so you never miss your furry friend too much! I'm currently in school and working online, with this, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of attention throughout the day. I can take dogs out every 1 to 2 hours for quick backyard play or bathroom breaks. Additionally, I am available for early morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care. flexible with caring for your doggie. I have a fenced in yard and my own doggie named Pinky. She is very playful and loves to meet new dogs. If you prefer for me to come to your home, I would be happy to do so.

About: My name is Tonisa and I love my furry friends. I have 2yo Labradoodle so she will be in the home as well. I enjoy the smiles dogs have, but only dog lovers would notice those. I have experience with diabetic dogs (if I need to give them insulin I do charge extra for that service $5 per day). Other than that I have a big fenced yard for them to play in. They will go on a morning walk and 2 evening walks. I know how I was when I would go out of town so I’m more than happy to send photos and FaceTime while I have your pup. (Pls bathe my new buddies before drop off) See you soon :) I work from home. So for most part I will be with them. If I leave out it’s never too long. Ava will be in the home with them so they won’t be alone/bored. I care for you pup like they are my Ava Bear. They are able to rome around in the same common areas that Ava is aloud. Because I have my own fur baby I am full time pet owner which requires me to take her out, feed and walk her. Your baby will just fit right into our daily schedule I have a fenced yard. If your dog is a jumper please let me know. I allow the dogs the run freely in the back yard. If it’s too hot, unfortunately I do not let them play outside long. Once the sun goes down I then let them stay out longer. The dogs are typical fed breakfast and dinner with snacks in between. Please bring snacks (I don’t want to cause any discomfort while in my care).

About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.
