About: Hello! I’m Zack. I spend most my time with my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs, Cow and Cozmo. They are Large mixed Breeds. I’ve only ever had large dogs, but I love all Animals, big and small. I even went to Vet Tech school for a short amount of time. If you request me to care for your doggo’s then I promise to give them as much love and affection as possible until you get back. I look forward to meeting all your furry friends. I currently don’t work so I have plenty of time on my hands. I can get there early and stay as long as needed. The only days I cannot work are the weekends. So if your pet gets lonely while you’re at work, I can stop by to walk them and play with them. Currently, I take Cow on walk around a lake. I make sure to bring water and a small water bowl to keep him hydrated. I also use a collar but I know that some dogs do better with harnesses. He goes on long walks but if that’s not your dogs thing, then i can go on short walks too. I always carry little baggies incase he needs to use the restroom. I also make sure to feed him special wet food in his diet to help his tummy. One of our previous dogs had to take medications for her hips. So if your dog takes medication, I can wrap it in peanut butter or cheese (or both) so they think they’re getting a very tasty treat. Also if your dog likes to run around I can always run with them or I if they like to relax and get pet, then thats okay too.

“Samantha watched our 3 kitties while we were away. She was extremely professional in dealing with us, and super fun with the cats. She spent time playing with them, even trying to coax the shy one out to play/pet. We got tons of great pics every day with great communication. We would definitely recommend her and will hire her again the next time we leave town!”


“Jennifer was prompt with her visits and we experienced no issues with her care of Hawk! We highly recommend Jennifer.”


“Aurora was amazing with our dogs. She checked in the morning of the pop-in visits and took great care of the pups while we were busy. We'll definitely use her again!”


“Grace is wonderful she’s so kind and friendly. She came highly recommended to us and we now do the same. Our Winnie was very well cared for while we were away for the day but”


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 have my own fur baby (lucy) and I trained her from when she was a puppy, so anything your pet can throw at me I’ve seen before. I love dogs and I want to give them the best care like you would do at home. I currently go to school full time but I'm pretty flexible on when and where you need help and want your pet taken care of. I would like to stick to the routine you have set for your pet so they feel like they’re at home. I do have a fenced in yard and a friendly female dog to keep your dog company, and a park within walking distance of my home as well as a nature trail for nice walks. I can easily crate your dog I just ask that you supply their crate if needed. I’m amenable with many requests that you would like for your pet.

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.

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
