Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!

Breanna is the absolute best. She has been essential in potty/leash training our puppy (tough with our work schedules!) and is vigilant with consistency in training commands—so important for a little pup! Our fur baby could not love her more!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for pets since I was 11. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors since I was 14. I have volunteered at the SPCA (animal shelter) since I was 16. I now lead my college dog walking/shelter volunteering club (STEP) as vice president, and truly love caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities! I’m a college student with a completely open and flexible schedule this summer! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, pet sitting, and can accept last minute bookings. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely live for, so I love making pet care part of my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I’m attentive and patient, while also extremely well versed with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog like my own babies!

About: What sets me apart is my experience and flexibility. I started pet sitting in college and have always loved caring for animals. Now that I work locally with summer hours ending before 5, I’m able to offer reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important consistency and trust are for pet owners Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in Hyde Park, so I’m already in the area during the week. On Wednesdays I’m off at 1, Thursdays at 2, and Fridays I’m off all day, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I care for pets like they’re part of the family. My own dogs are definitely spoiled — we have a 10.5-year-old Lab/Collie mix and recently adopted a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix — so I’m used to caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for over 20 years and truly enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities — from energetic pups to more anxious or senior pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do have a cat, and he is used to being around dogs, but I always prioritize safety and comfort for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and structure my schedule intentionally, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and when boarding, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I value routine and make sure each pet’s normal schedule is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with my son (7 YO) and our cat, Toto. While our backyard is not fenced, dogs are always leashed for outdoor time and walks. We have great sidewalks and a quiet area that’s ideal for daily exercise. Inside the home, I provide a calm and supervised environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and always prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and following specific care instructions. I’m also happy to schedule meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels confident.

About: I’ve always had a dog while growing up and have a true love for them! I may not have any pets of my own at the moment but I treat each dog as such. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life I know the kind of love, attention and care they need and ensure to provide all of those traits for this I’m in the process of getting my real estate license so I’m currently working part time mostly at nights, which leaves my mornings and afternoons pretty available to check in/walk your dogs! My current place does not allow me to have pets, but from having my own dogs growing up I know the kind of care it takes to handle a dog in your own home! I would treat both your home and dogs with respect and give your dog the love you need for the time being

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, etc since I was a teenager! Neighbors, family members and friends trust me to go into those homes to feed, care for, and walk their pets. I have extensive experience giving medications to pets, and well as love to walk, so would love to have your friend tag along! I am a public school teacher, so work a consistent schedule through the week, but love to go on walks and play toss in the afternoons/evenings. I do not work June-August so would have a free schedule to care for your pets! I have no kids in my home. I live in a safe area, and have a yard to play in. It is only 3/4th fenced, so I use a 30ft leash in the yard always for safety. I do have a 4 month old golden retriever, but she loves all dogs and is always looking for a play buddy

About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs of my own and for friends and family for many many years. I have raised cats and dogs as young as 6 weeks as well as trained them. I love meeting new fluffy friends of all kinds! I have a job as a barista and typically work there 5 days a week so my schedule is very flexible. My availability is ever changing so feel free to ask! I have a 20 lb shetland golden retriever mix that loves to play, is very well mannered, and gets along with dogs of all sizes! I have a walking trail near where I live that I typically walk my dog and the ones I sit. I also love to take pups to Riverside to walk. If I am attending to another persons home i’ve always been raised with the idea of “leave it better than you found it”. If there are indoor cats I pay close attention to detail to make sure they don’t accidentally get out.

About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up with five cats and one dog, and have helped pet sit friends’ dogs. I am very comfortable playing, feeding, going on walks, cleaning litter boxes, etc. I now have my own tripod cat as well, so I have also learned a lot about caring for pets with different needs! I will be working part time, and not taking classes this summer semester. So I will have plenty of time to stop by throughout the week. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stick to their usual routine. I am very careful on checking that doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I follow all instructions closely and keep owners regularly updated!

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care whenever needed, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. In your home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets while keeping them on their usual routine. I make sure they’re closely supervised during outdoor time and always prioritize their safety and well-being.
