About: I am an Animal Studies and Environmental Studies double major entering my senior year in the fall. I have had pets my whole life, both dogs and cats, and have experience caring for both. I have more than two years of experience working in doggy daycare and more than one year of experience working in doggy boarding. I am comfortable with all breeds and all sizes and am also comfortable administering medication as long as instructions are provided. I am currently out of school for the summer. While at school I was employed to a doggy daycare, but while home for the summer I am unemployed. I have a grant to do research on beach nesting birds for the summer and will receive more details on the schedule for that in coming weeks, but was told the hours are flexible, so they can work around your needs! I will play with, cuddle with and love on your pet as much as you would like and don’t mind taking them on adventures to the park or the store! The only thing I lack experience in is bathing, otherwise I am open to help your pet have as much fun as possible while you’re away. I am also comfortable with helping you with anything you need done while you’re away, such as watering plants or checking the mail. Please let me know how I can help you :)

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and know that every pet is different! Whether it’s lots of exercise or lazy days, I’ve always been around animals and care deeply for their health and happiness! I have a dog that needs a lot of attention and care at this point in her life, I have had her since I was in about 3rd grade and I always make sure she is the happiest pup. I also take care of my friends dogs on occasion to let them run in the yard and eat their breakfast/ dinner! Make sure they get lots of exercise or whatever their specific needs are like giving them medications / pills or even stopping by to make sure they get their stretches and companion time in!

About: I’ve spent time around animals for my entire life, and have always loved giving them the love and attention they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and will take the time to make your pet happy and comfy! Working with animals has always been something I have found great joy doing, and I hope I can build connections with more four legged friends! I’m a student who is currently on break until the 21st, so I am available very often. Any days of the week will work fine for me! I will make sure all fences, doors, and windows are secure at all times to ensure your pets will be safe and cozy in their homes!

About: Hi there! My name is Marycarmen, and I'm a dedicated student with a deep love for dogs. As I work towards my career, I’m seeking some extra income, and what better way than combining my passion for animals with a job I truly enjoy? In my free time, I offer reliable, loving pet care services tailored to your furry friend's needs.

Let me help give your pet the attention and love they deserve! Between my classes and studies, I set aside dedicated time each day to provide personalized care, whether it’s taking dogs for long walks, playing with them, or just being present to offer companionship. I have a secure, fenced yard where your dog can safely play, run, and explore. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and cozy downtime.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks.

I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a kid and got my first dog when I was 10. They lived a long and healthy 18 years of life. When they were 15, we got them some company with a puppy! Although their energy was opposite, they got along swelling well. Loving to get back in touch with the fur family so I’ve been caring for family and friends pets more often. I’m an actor so I always know how to entertain them as well as being able to read them pretty well. I have some experience with administering medication as well. I’m currently a grad student on summer break so I have plenty of time currently for all my fur babies needs! Once school begins in September I’m positive so early morning as well as evening care is more than possible. I do not offer care at my own home, but am an extremely neat, tidy, and minimal person. Any past clients I’ve had to do overnight stays with can attest to that.

Gina T.
“I can’t say enough good things about Jenna! While I was away in Spain, she took care of my dog Milton, and honestly, I think he might have had a better vacation than I did. She treated him like absolute royalty—my little king was spoiled in all the best ways. From regular walks and playtime to thoughtful updates and adorable photos, Jenna made sure I knew Milton was in loving, capable hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. Milton can be a bit particular, but Jenna was patient, attentive, and incredibly sweet with him. When I came back, he was happy, healthy, and maybe even a little sad to say goodbye to her. If you’re looking for someone to love your dog like their own, Jenna is it.”


Vanessa P.
“Vanessa would watch my cat Star whenever I would go out of town. She always spent so much quality time with her playing and petting her. She even put the animal Chanel on the tv for her so she could watch the birds and she loved it. She is the best pet sitter I have ever used and never had to worry about anything when I was away.”


Ella W.
