“Heather is super professional, easygoing and nice. My cat was very timid when he see strangers. But Heather got along with him very well in several visits, and they’ve become great friends in the end. Highly recommend her. Will definitely reach out to her when we have future needs!”


“Vivian was fantastic with Hailey! She sent a bunch of photos of her throughout the day and I could tell that Hailey looked very relaxed with her there. I came home and it was relieving to see that Hailey did not seem anxious at all that I had been gone, Vivian clearly had a very calm and loving presence that Hailey felt very comfortable with. Vivian clearly cares very much for treating other’s fur babies as lovingly as she cares for her own. Vivian was respectful and professional from start to finish. I will absolutely use her in the future and I will recommend her to my friends and family as well. Thanks again Vivian!”


“Kristen is the best. Always does a great job for me and my girls. I come home from a trip and it's so sweet to have the doggies here and happy. All thanks to Kristen!”


“We were so thankful to Kristen for scheduling a drop-in visit on very short notice. She checked in with us and sent great photos letting us know our doggies were well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Kristen in the future for pet sitting needs.”


“Clarissa was absolutely amazing!! She helped us with our 3 pups very last minute and exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much!!”


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.

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


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: 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.

“Raquel did a wonderful job! My cat looked content and happy in the pictures. I felt very safe leaving Buttons in her care.”


“Samantha did a terrific job watching my dog. Gave good updates and lots of pictures for the whole house visit. Would recommend and will book with her again in the future.”


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: Since the age of 6, I’ve been surrounded by dogs within my own home, and have grown to love all dogs! I take pride in engaging with dogs, and love spending quality time around these 4 legged friends! I currently have a part-time internship that allows me to have free time to do things I enjoy, which is staying active and caring for my pets! I can take your dogs on walks and spend time with them while you’re gone, and make sure they are cared and attended to when needed!

About: I absolutely ADORE animals. I am unable to have one myself because of living situations but would love to share that passion and love with your dogs. I have dog sitted overnight at my uncles house every couple months ever since I was 13 years old. There were situations where I had to think fast in emergencies and all around I just love having an animal to spend time with because it truly heals the soul. I’m currently working full time at Starbucks but have availability during every single day and morning/nights/mid days all work for me to be available for pet care. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency with the pet’s normal routine. I start by getting to know each pet’s unique personality, dietary needs, medical requirements, and favorite toys or activities. For dog walking I use strong safe leashes and harnesses and walk in familiar low traffic areas.

“Alexis helped us while we had a last minute work trip and she was fantastic! Thank you so much for taking care of our dog, who is the favorite child of the house! Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t be happier!”


“Breana was wonderful and a godsend during our recent trip to Europe. Taking care of our 2 cats, Glennie, who is extremely finicky and skittish, and Maggie, a sitter's dream. Breana was loving and absolutely patient to include reaching into her own bag of tricks to coax Glennie downstairs and join Maggie for a meal; or, was able to get close enough to him so he could eat. We loved the fact that we were kept updated and provided pictures of both cats. Breana was opened to any and all suggestions we would give her regarding getting Glennie to eat. We are so thankful for her help and would not hesitate to ask her to take care of Glennie and Maggie again (if Glennie didn't scare her away) and highly recommend her.”


About: I have taken care of a variety of animals from childhood growing up in Brazil. During 5 years near Chicago, I pet set many neighbors and family members. People have relied on me to do basic tasks such as walking dogs, changing litter, and playing with they’re 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

About: I grew up with a dog who was my best companion for many years until he passed away a few years ago. Caring for him taught me to be a patient and responsible pet parent. Although I’m not able to have a dog of my own right now, I still love being around animals and enjoy giving them the attention and care they deserve. I’m looking for new job now, so have lot of time to play with your puppies! I will be available for the most of time just give me a heads up. I will send you the picture and video of your cuties during the time I work. If you need more information please let me know.
