“Allie had such a great week with Jessica! Was so nice to get updates and pictures while we were gone and came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Definitely recommend Jessica and will definitely be using her again!”
“Yuliia is an excellent dog sitter. She provided detailed updates and regularly sent pictures, which I really appreciated. Even though my dog tends to bark, Yuliia managed the situation calmly and kept up with his routine without any issues. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was well-fed and exercised. I highly recommend Yuliia—she’s truly the best dog sitter you could ask for.”
“Sarah was amazing! Our pup felt very comfortable with her and was treated great! Sarah provided awesome updates and made us feel really comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”
“Patrick did a great job with our dogs. They are bigger active dogs and he handled them perfectly. Made my vacation much more enjoyable knowing my dogs were being well taken care of. Will definitely book with Patrick again.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. My previous dogs were a Dalmatian named PlayerBeagle named Phoebe, a Boxer named Spot and our current dog Phil who is a Maltese I love to take long walks whether it be in a neighborhood or in the forest preserve or just sit on the couch and snuggle with a dog or cat. It’s so therapeutic isn’t it… I am currently taking a break from the Rat Race of the corporate world. As part of my daily routine I like to get out and walk and explore. If I have a dog with me it makes the walk that much more enjoyable. I believe pets are like children. They need to be loved, kept safe and be given opportunities to walk, run, play, meet other pets and most importantly get outside. Our Maltese Phil has a big fenced in back yard to play in and always has someone to cuddle with him
“Angelina was absolutely fabulous with Marshmellow and Emerson. She shared photos and updates each day, she also provided wonderful recommendations on products. I highly recommend Angelina's services to care for your pets.”
“Mac and Gio seemed to have a really great time! They seemed happy, they ate well, and they were able to stay with their daily routine which really helps with 2 of them.”
About: I've always had a love for dogs and have cared for my own dogs since I was 12. My friends and family have asked me to walk, play with, feed, or bathe their pets and I am always happy to help! During the week, I work from home three days out of the five and those days I am responsible for my pets at home and love being able to be home with them. At home I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for play dates. My two dogs are very friendly with other dogs and they are crate trained so they can be easily put away. I do not plan on bringing my dogs for the services that I provide because they have anxiety.
“Grace was wonderful with my two dogs. She was very understanding with my dog who is very hesitant with new people. I'd definitely use Grace again!”
“Everything worked out perfectly with Heidi! She is great with dogs and very trustworthy. Her communication was great from our first meeting with our dog through her pet sitting visit. She asked great questions before we left and we felt in touch with pictures and updates during our vacation. She stayed with our dog, walked her, played with her and loved her while we were away. She was a very tidy house guest, cleaned before she left and our house was just as we left it. I would absolutely recommend Heidi for someone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Maani was phenomenal with Bronson and keeping in touch with us. She constantly was sending photos and keeping us up to date on how he was doing. Him and her dog seemed to have gotten along very well and I think he enjoyed every minute. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have always taken care of different pets. I love being of service and making sure my animal companions are always enjoying life around me. I work as a Doggy Daycare Attendant currently. Most of my time is spent caring for pups as it is! I love doing it so it doesn't feel like a chore. I have extra time on my hands and would love to help out! Reading your dog/cats body language through undivided attention will help me personalize my services tailoring the way I approach/ handle each pet accordingly. Knowing where first aid and cleaning supplies are located. If you could make that readily available for when life happens.
“Gaby was excellent. She was very detailed, kind and went above and beyond to make sure that was taken care of while I was out for a week. Gaby was punctual, asked many questions to get to know Tati better, and was very communicative with me. I had to find a sitter in less than 48 hours and she was very flexible, made time to meet Tati, and the process went super smoothly. She always kept me in the loop and asked questions when needed. I highly recommend Gaby to anyone who is looking for a sitter for their pet.”
About: Taking care of fur babies is a joy for me. From young ones to old ones, they all deserve love. I have experience with pets of all ages and stages of life, can handle high anxiety pets with care and am attentive and build trust with the animals in my care. I'm currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. I can pop over for a walk or feeding and am flexible with house sitting as well! I am able to care for pets in the clients home. I will follow the normal schedule the pet has (feeding, walking or medication) that is outlined by the client. I also like to be prepared for any emergencies with vet contacts or any medical needs/quirks. I will leave the space as clean as I found it.
About: I grew up with dogs, a cat, hamsters, fish, a turtle, and geckos. I'm very comfortable with animals--I'm patient, responsible, dependable, and respectful. I will treat your pet with respect and kindness, and I will treat you and your home that way as well. In more recent history I've done housesitting--with lots of walks!--for an apartment-dwelling dog, and for another household with a cat. I've lived most of my life in the Chicago suburbs so I know the climate well and am not daunted by cold, rainy or snowy days. I'm very physically fit and strong, so I know I can handle big dogs with lots of energy. I work part time and love to get out for walks and a change of scenery so dog-walking and drop-in visits are a great way for me to get some exercise with a furry companion. I have a car and know the suburbs very well. Because my part-time job is flexible, I have full flexibility as to when I can come take your pet for a walk or come for a visit. I will treat your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I know your pet is a member of your family and I will treat them as such. I am also a very conscientious woman, both in terms of how I interact with people and pets, as well as I how I would treat your home and property--you wouldn't have to worry about me leaving muddy footprints on your carpet (from me or your dog!), or leaving a fence unlatched.
“Cameron did a fantastic job taking care of our animals, including a soecial special needs dog. He even gave her injectable medication! He followed our instructions to the letter and checked in sn appropriate amount to clarify thing as as needed (my fault as I made some mistakes in the instructions). He went above and beyond to take great care of our house and provided frequent and adorable updates. We came home to healthy and happy pets and are planning to book with him again!”
“Holly is absolutely amazing! She was fantastic with our dogs, and gave us so much peace of mind when we were out of town. She sent daily pictures and updates and we couldn't have asked for a better person to watch them!”
About: I grew up around animals, and our household always had two dogs in it! I love my pups so much and know that other owners can share in that precious feeling :) I care for our dogs by feeding them, taking them for walks, playing with them, and giving them warm cuddles. I am eager for the opportunities that await me to do just that with other lovely doggos! I'm currently home from college for the summer and looking for part-time animal care jobs! My schedule is fairly flexible for May. I will be working the month of June from 8am-12pm Monday through Friday, but that should leave my weekday afternoons/evenings, and all day on weekends open! I will be traveling for about a week and a half in July with family, but will be back for the last couple of weeks until I leave to go back to college on August 4th. My home has a fenced yard and options for crating to keep dogs safe and secure! Regarding a client's home, I would ensure that all necessary measures are met to ensure a happy and healthy doggy!
“Laina was excellent, she took great care of my 5 dogs for a nine day vacation. My oldest dog has difficulty walking. Laina assisted him going outside, drinking and eating. We had frequent video calls, I could tell the dogs were very happy, well cared for and affectionate with Laina. Laina sent me pictures of my dogs every morning.”
About: I am a lover of all animals, especially dogs. I have my own Corgi named Winston who is extremely social and loves friends. I have had dogs and cats all my life and I have many years of experience pet sitting. I am completely free on weekends and have evenings available. Most days I only work afternoons during the week so my mornings are also free I have a very social dog to keep your fur babies company. I am very safety conscious of my own dog and that will definitely be passed along to yours too
