Tuna takes great care of our pack. They love it when she comes and they get a break from the monotonous day of dog naps they have to endure.

About: Hello, I have been pet sitting and dog walking since childhood. In my current home, I am not allowed to have pets, and I am really missing spending time with and caring for animals. I am so excited to play, walk, and care for your pet! :) I work full‑time, but I’m remote three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop‑ins, and consistent check‑ins throughout the day. I’m also available many weekends for pet care. Daily walks are already part of my routine, often more than once, so incorporating a furry companion into that rhythm feels natural. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, midday enrichment, or evening exercise, I make sure pets get reliable attention and a steady routine that keeps them comfortable and cared for. I pay close attention to detail and am naturally hypervigilant, which means your pet’s safety is always top of mind. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow your routines closely, and keep a close eye on their behavior and comfort. I’m intentional about creating a safe, clean, and low‑stress space so your pet feels secure, understood, and well cared for every step of the way.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs, including two Mastiffs and one Maltese. Caring for dogs with such different sizes, personalities, and needs has taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique routine and temperament. From daily walks, feeding, grooming, playtime, and basic training to providing lots of love and attention, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. Friends and family have also trusted me to watch their pets, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. As a nursing student with a strict schedule, I plan my time carefully to ensure pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, feeding, or companionship, I will make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. As the owner of two Mastiffs and a Maltese, I am comfortable handling both large and small breeds. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and creating a safe environment for every pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and special needs. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.

About: I’m a passionate and reliable pet lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve had four dogs of my own, including my current puppy, so I understand the energy, attention, and patience that younger dogs require. I’ve also cared for two senior dogs with health issues, which taught me how to provide gentle, attentive care and manage more complex needs with compassion. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve walked dogs for neighbors and friends and have experience caring for pets in their homes. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, extra playtime, or calm, attentive care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during the summer when I’m home from college and able to make it my main focus. I have a very flexible schedule and can plan my day around each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or check ins. Because this is my primary commitment over the summer, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stay consistent with their routines, and be available for a variety of times throughout the day. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you can feel confident your pet is getting the care and attention they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and needs to make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, so they can stay in a familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping their space clean and secure. Across all services, I focus on clear communication, dependability, and treating every pet like my own, whether that means energetic playtime for puppies or gentle, attentive care for senior dogs.

This is our second time booking with Isabel. She was super accommodating and helpful, despite our last-minute request. We really appreciated the thoughtful and thorough Rover Cards after each visit and felt confident that our cat was getting high quality play time while we were away, plus we came home to a freshly cleaned litter box. Thanks, Isabel! 10/10 would recommend to any cat parents out there in need of a sitter

About: I've owned and taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a little girl. From birds, to cats and dogs, to horses, and even snakes, big or small I love em all! I'm a travel bartender that works different music festivals all across the country. Now that season has come to a close, I couldn't think of a better way to fill my newly empty schedule than caring for your furry loved ones! I have one cat and one dog who is kennel trained. I walk my dog a minimum of twice a day in my quaint suburban neighborhood and my cat is very good with other animals.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young, starting with my own family’s dogs and eventually helping care for pets around my neighborhood. My passion for animal care led me to earn a B.S. in Animal Science with a focus on Companion Animals from the University of Minnesota. During my time there, I held animal care positions at three different zoological institutions, including Brookfield Zoo. I’m excited for the opportunity to care for your pets and provide a safe, happy, and enriching experience, whether it’s during a walk or a home visit! I am currently working part-time so I look forward to playing with your pets! Right now I have more availability than usual and can handle several walks or check-ins during the day! I have a car and am able to drive to and from your home. I will follow all instructions when it comes to caring for your pets. You know what is best for your own furry friends. Every animal is special and some need more attentions than others. I look forward to getting to learn about your fur-baby’s quarks!

About: I have worked for two zoos, 2 emergency clinics and hospitals that focused on cat, dog and exotics from rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, geckos, tarantulas, ferrets, beardies, chinchillas, fennecs, prairie dogs, birds, axolotls, ect. I have training in senior cat and dog care and animal behavior training as well as vaccine and injection experience. I graduated from Joliet Junior College as a Veterinary Technician and I have petsat many dogs, cats, herps and small mammals. I'm strict with lists and rules and I love playing and giving treats. All animals are my friends including your tarantula! I love working with animals and I love working with pet parents. I have a large reference sheet with people who swear by me and know that their furry (or scalie) family member is in caring, professional, loving hands. If you're looking for a trusted, well rounded, experienced vet tech, then I'm your sitter!! If you don't like leaving your baby home alone, ask me about boarding!! I board ***most*** exotics and cats! (I don't board dogs, birds, aquatics, or larger exotics, please ask me for details) I will talk to you first to make sure my schedule fits into your animals' needs. If my schedule does not match your pets' needs, then I will kindly decline your offer as your pets' needs come before me. I want to see you matched with the best sitter you can find. I will sit for your furry (or scalie) baby at your own home, so your rules are law! If your doggy needs to be crated, I will do that! If your kitty needs insulin shots, I have experience in that! Does your baby need 500 mLs of fluid? You're in the right hands! Does your flowers need to be watered? Tell me what a hydrangea looks like and I will water it!!

My family couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog, Bella. As I’m sure we all know, leaving your dog (who is such a big part of your family) is never easy & after seeing Megan’s credentials, we were very optimistic. What we didn’t know, however, was the extent of care & updates we’d receive. While my family had an amazing time on vacation, we looked forward to Megan’s updates at the end of her visit everyday. When homesickness (& missing our dog) came in, her pictures & videos of Bella meant so much to us! Would definitely recommend!!

We were so fortunate to have Lauren and her mom take care of our cats during our vacation! She was very quick in communication and sent detailed updates with plenty of pictures. They even went above and beyond in troubleshooting electrical issues with our feeders and even took care of the fish tanks. We will absolutely have them take care of our cats again! Highly recommend their services as we entrust both of them due to their skills and experiences with cats. We really felt that our cats were given amazing care and attention, especially for a young, rambunctious kitten. Our cats welcomed them right away and you could tell they were so caring and compassionate with our littles ones.

What a treat to have gotten help with our dog from Erin.. she was so sweet & kind, clearly caring & considerate of whatever we may need, & noticed and discrepancy I wrote that could've caused a timing issue. We loved that she was so easy to communicate with & it felt obvious right away that she had our (& our pup's) best interest at heart, ultimately going above and beyond so that my wife & I could really just not think twice about how Zara was doing while we continued on [without our dog] at our wedding venue for the rest of the evening. She was the absolute best, & even her husband joined to help her with the task we had asked her to help with just so things would go as smoothly as possible. If felt like family came by to swoop her up & care for her/help her transition away from partying it up at our wedding to hangin at home with her pal. Really couldn't be more grateful. Thank you guys so much for helping with this. It meant a lot to us!
