About: Hi! I’ve been helping take care of dogs my entire life. I raised my own dogs since they were puppies all the way up until they went over the rainbow bridge at the ages at 15. I am a certified dog groomer and have worked for an animal hospital as well. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience with all ages, sizes, breeds and temperaments. I know how to administer medication and monitor for health issues. I like to be communicative with owners during my visits including sending photos of their pets throughout the day. I like to send the owners a summary of my visit at the end of my stay. I have open availability and like to make accommodations as much and as easy as possible for owners. Feel free to contact me at anytime! I like to be very attentive in all aspects of a dog’s life. I like to make sure all dietary requirements are met. Also if necessary all medications or supplements are given correctly.

About: I grew up with all sorts of pets, from dogs, cats to birds, hamsters, birds and turtles. I respect and enjoy all sorts of lives, and teach my kids the same I have a hybrid schedule, being at home most of the time, except 1-2 days a week. Enjoy going for a walk or letting the dogs spend time in the yard I have a fenced yard, a super friendly dog (London, Dalmatian 2.5yo) and 2 kids who loves to spoil pets! Your pet will feel at home

About: I have extensive experience in walking, sitting, and training dogs. I have fostered 13 dogs in my home, and have had many pets of my own before that. I have babysat and fostered puppies as young as 8 weeks, and senior dogs as old as 16. I am familiar with animal CPR and available to take dogs out as often as needed. I am an online nursing student, so I am always available and at home. I am currently an online nursing student, so I am always available to take dogs out. When I foster puppies, I have them out every 1-2 hours as well as have plenty of play time and interaction. For boarding, my pick up and drop off hours are between 8 am - 8 pm. Anything outside of those hours will be an additional $20 charge. If you are 1-2 hours late picking up your pet, it will be an additional $20. I have a yard and dog-friendly neighborhood that I can take care of your dog in. The dogs are welcome to every area in my home including beds and couches! I want your dog to be as comfortable as I am.

“Pailin did a great job checking on our cats. She even made sure to find our shy one just to make sure she was doing ok!”


About: I have taken care of a variety of animals from my childhood growing up in Brazil. During 5 years living near Chicago, I pet sat for many neighbors and family members. People have relied on me to do basic tasks such as walking dogs, changing litter, and playing with their furry friends. I am currently in between a few part time/ on the side jobs so my schedule is fairly free. I am available most weekdays and occasional weekends to stay overnight with pets. As for checking up on animals, my schedule allows multiple check-ins a day I am not receiving animals at my residence due to me being in college. When staying at your residence I will make sure to know what areas to keep your pet away form and how to respect your space

“Virginia is the best. She always take great care of Dottie while we are away. We have peace of mind knowing Virginia is looking in on our precious Dottie.”


About: I have experience with various animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies, and gerbils.

“Bri took great care of Chloe and Luca over the holidays! Highly recommended.”


“If you can book Amanda to walk/dog sit/drop-in for your dog, do it. Stop looking, book Amanda! My dog, Caesar, is an 80 lb pitbull and we just recently moved from a house to an apartment, so he is very anxious because of the new sounds and environment. I booked Amanda for walks/pop-ins because I work downtown everyday and I can’t stress enough how incredible she has been! She has been so patient and loving with Caesar, and he isn’t always the easiest dog to be patient with, especially on walks (that 80 lbs is all muscle and if he isn’t ready to go home, he plants his feet and good luck moving him). It isn’t always the easiest to find someone to take care of Caesar due to the stigma that comes with his breed, but Amanda didn’t care about his breed or size. She just cared that a dog needed her, and she stepped up. So if you are looking for someone who will give your dog the love and care they expect because it’s the same love and care you know they deserve, you need to book Amanda.”


About: Hello, I’ve owned 2 dogs over the course of my life and as of 2 years ago began dog sitting & cat sitting for family and friends. I love being physically active so walking and running is always so much fun. Allow me to play, pet and care for your pet(s)! I am currently a full time student at Moody Bible Institute, looking for something I can do before my classes, in between long breaks of my classes or after my classes. I will follow any and all instructions relating to your pets needs. I will communicate swiftly with updates, any concerns or questions as needed. I will provide a fun and safe time with your pet!

About: My kindness and empathy translate to a gentle and patient approach for your fur baby, ensuring that pets feel safe and loved in my presence. My spiritual connection to animals attune me to their needs and emotions. I am skilled at reading body language and responding appropriately to avoid confrontations. My empathetic and spiritual approach combined with my love for animals may be the best option for your four-legged friend. I work from home! I have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs. Even if it’s a last minute request, or schedule changes, I’m committed that your pet receives the care they deserve at a time that suits you best. As a pet sitter, I prioritize keeping your pet safe and your home secure. I stay on top of home security, handle keys with care and keep lines of communication open. I’m always ready for any pet emergencies and make sure their space is safe. I treat your home like my own.

About: I have cared for my dogs for over 10 years I am a true dog lover. I am a nurse I have a 10 year old English bulldog and we go on walks and take him on parks and beaches. I love dogs this is a great advantage to meet other dogs around the area and engage with them plus it will help me be physically active since I never have the chance to because of school and work. I will run and play with your dogs they will love me! I can’t wait to meet all the dogs around me! I’m pretty flexible so I can work with you on scheduling so text me and we can work things out! You are the priority! Always. If I hired a stranger to take care of my home I’d want them to be trustworthy and complete the things I ask them to do.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Although I’ve never had one of my own, I’ve had many friends with dogs and have had the pleasure of playing and taking care of them as if they were my own. I have also had experience walking dogs by volunteering at a local shelter during college. I’m currently working full time, but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so my availability is open during that time. My work is also flexible so if needed, I can work from home during the weekday to provide care to pets. I am available on weekdays after 4:30pm when I am in the office and available during weekends as well. I have a fenced yard and live in a safe neighborhood where many neighbors of mine also own dogs and walk theirs around the area quite frequently. I will happily spend time with the pets and provide them with safety and comfort.
