“Meridith is an absolute hero. As a newly single dog dad of 8 months, and for 7 months Meridith has been such an absolute godsend to make sure a large part of my life, Cosmo is happy and well taken care of. She is understanding and accommodating. She is not just a dog walker from an app, she is a friend to cosmo and myself, a great lady.”
“Melissa has been dropping by to walk my dog Pepper for about a year now and I could not ask for a better experience!!! Pepper loves her and is always happy when I get home from work, and Melissa always takes time to play with her after their walk. Melissa is very responsive and easy to get ahold of. She is also usually able to squeeze us in if I book at the last minute. Overall I’ve had a very good, low stress experience!!!”
“My dog can be a bit choosey with his friends and Brittany was able to gain his trust and walk Jack without any problems. She is very professional and caring with Jack I would recommend her. Thank you Brittany!”
About: I am a 5 year experienced veterinary technician who has worked primarily with small animals in multiple practices across the United States. I am currently enrolled in veterinary medical school pursuing my doctorate at UIUC in their college of veterinary medicine. In addition, I am a life-long pet owner myself! I grew up with dogs in a variety of sizes, as well as cats. As a veterinary student, I have classes in the morning and sometimes afternoon. This should not be a concern as I still have plenty of time to watch pets! We have multiple breaks through the day and I own a car. Classes never extend past 4:00 pm. So, I can travel to your pet and am fully open in evenings for long walks! I care for pets in the owners home! As a veterinary student, I am living in an apartment which is not always the appropriate place for watching certain large-sized dogs. I also have a cat of my own who is terrified of dogs!
“I had a great experience with this dog walker! They were incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog Max, who’s 11 years old and moves at his own pace. It was clear they really cared—after the walk, they made sure Max had water and was comfortable before leaving. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and gentle with older dogs.”
About: I strongly believe that our furry loved ones deserve the upmost care while we're away. This can be fostered through a variety of pet sitting services, but for me, I love to help out by offering drop-in visits and in-home sitting. I've been pet sitting for over 6 years, and I've had cats and dogs my entire life (currently 4 cats and 2 dogs)! Taking care of animals is one of my passions, and I’m grateful I’ve had the opportunity to further develop it through pet sitting. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

I pride myself in doing the best work possible to ensure an animal’s safety and comfortability in their own home. I stay in contact with pet parents and ask questions as they arise to make sure their furry friends are doing well.

“Abri and Justin did an excellent job walking our mini golden doodle. She has a few “quirks” but they took care of her in just the way she needed. Highly communicative and very sweet people. Would recommend them to anyone!”
About: One of my earliest memories was at the age of five. My mom brought my sister home from the hospital after she was born and I asked, "Can we have a kitten instead?!" Our parents started us with goldfish like most do. We then graduated to hamsters, followed by kittens. Currently, I have two dogs of my own that I consider to be my fur babies. Our pets can be much like our children, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide the care your animals need. My experience with animals comes from having my own as well as taking care of friends and family members pets as well. I love animals so much, I paint them on canvas as another passion of mine. I am looking forward to caring for your pet and providing whatever special needs they may have in order to make you and your animal feel comfortable while you are away. I work from home as an Artist so my schedule is flexible in between appointments outside of the home. I am unavailable Tuesday nights after 5pm. Looking forward to do whatever I need to stick to your pet's routine to keep them stress free, happy and healthy. Whether they enjoy long walks, active play or just snuggles and pets I would love to accommodate whatever their needs may be.

Im happy to attend to your pets before and after work, in the evening and overnight, lunch breaks as well if needed. I prefer to "sitt" in your home in order to help keep them as comfy and on the same routine as possible. I believe in following the care instructions of the parents to a tee.
