About: Throughout my childhood I have owned and raised dogs of all sizes. I also have experience with working at a barn where I gained hands-on experience with daily animal care routines and ensuring the well-being of many animals including cats. I genuinely love all animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am a college student returning home for the summer and I’m planning to make pet care my full-time focus. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available most days and times. I’m responsible, reliable and committed to making this my top priority. You can count on me to be consistent and dependable when caring for your dog. At home I have three large dogs and a fenced in backyard for my high-energy dogs. My dogs are fed twice a day and receive daily vitamins and medications with their meals.

About: Hi! I’m J’Kiyah, a huge animal lover who has years of experience caring for dogs of family and friends. I love making sure pets feel safe( happy, and well cared for while away from their owners. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have lots of availability for dog walks during the week. I enjoy getting outside for walks and exercise, so dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine. I do not currently offer boarding but in my home I walk, feed and play with my dog daily. I also help my friends with their pets.

About: I'm an energetic person who enjoys being with dogs. I pay close attention to detail and I am always willing to engage in activities to keep your dog busy but I also know dogs need some down time as well. I stay at home full-time so I will be able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I am currently a dog daddy to a Chihuahua named Lucy. She'll be 1 years old on November 1st. She's very loving and friendly dog. I have 7 years of experience. I don't mind taking your dogs or puppies out for walks instead of just staying in the backyard. I will take good care of your beloved pets as if they were my very own.

Gwendolyn went above and beyond to help us in a bind with our best boy! She gave him a good walk, refilled his bowl with fresh water and even gave him some snackies to hold him over until we got home. On top of that she spent time after the walk to love on him for a while! 10/10 and will be using her again!!

About: I have had 5 family dogs in my life, 1 of which is my dog, personally trained her. And my job throughout high school was dog sitting & dog walking! I am currently working part-time, only 5 minutes from home. My schedule varies weekly but I will always schedule dog visits or boardings when the pup will get my 100% attention. I have a fenced yard & an amazing roommate. We both love dogs and would absolutely love to have your dog join our little sanctuary for any time needed.

About: I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :) I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets. I'm very comfortable with all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have handled a variety of dogs from timid to major explorers. Any instructions given to me I will happily follow. I have always had a easy time connecting with dogs! They are truly mans best friend and I understand just how much they mean to their families :)

I went on a last minute trip for my birthday and saw Elizabeths great reviews. I was gone for 5 days and not once did I have to ask Elizabeth if she walked Harlei my 5 lb precious Yorkie. This was my first time using Rover let alone having a stranger in my apartment or even giving someone my keys! I was very nervous but after meeting Elizabeth she even offered to kindly let me use her key box! Everyday she updated me with the cutest pictures and even went above and beyond my expectations of caring for my dog as her own. She even changed her pee pads and fed her and was very accommodating to the dogs needs. It was suppose to rain and she still found time to walk her for at least 35 minutes and sometimes even 50 when I don't even walk my dog that long! She's the best and I can't recommend her more to anyone! Definitely will book her again in the near future.

About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs such as a Doberman, Cockapoo, Chihuahua and Golden Retrievers and have always been a dog lover. I live about a mile away from the lake, so would be taking walks/ runs to the park, lake and dog park. I recently moved away from home and my pups and would love to have dogs around again. I work from home in Lincoln Park and have a very flexible schedule to spend the most amount of time with your pup. I have two roommates that are also dog lovers that would love to have a furry friend around any day of the week. My calendar is all up to date and can not wait to meet your furry baby! Currently work remote and go into the office three days a week. Depending on when I watch your pup I will give them the attention and love needed. I have a fenced yard with two lovely pups, a Golden Retriever and Chihuahua to keep your pup company during their stay. Can crate too.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was eight years old. I had my own dog at this age until I turned 20 years old. I have also taken care of my friends dogs, or cats. This has made me be comfortable with feeding, walking, taking care of animals. I am reliable, timely, and really do love animals. I know animals are family and I will make sure to treat your animal with care and kindness. I have lots of time to be able to look after your animals. As of right now I am available Monday through Friday 9am - 9pm. My weekends fluctuate, so some weekends I may be available others I may not be, but I am very flexible. If you need a day on a weekend I am open to the conversation. I care for pet's by the instructions of the owner leaves. Also making sure that the pet is in a safe environment, this being when we go for walks, always making sure the pets leash is secure and being aware of my surroundings. I also will make sure your animal gets all the attention, and care they need.

Declan was very knowledgeable and gave me some good pointers for my spoiled pups. I tried what he suggested and was amazed to discover it worked like a charm. He didn't judge me for not walking my own dogs and having to work all the time instead of caring for them like I want to. Instead he made himself part of the solution and I really appreciated that.
