Cora was great with our senior dog. We are very happy with her service. She was prompt and professional and provided a detailed explanation of her visit along with photos. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog in her capable hands.

Natalie is truly the best pet sitter that I have booked with. From the beginning, she responded quickly and made me feel so comfortable leaving my 3 dogs with her. She cares for them like they are her own children and keeps me updated throughout the entire visit with pictures and videos. She has a beautiful home and large yard that allows my dogs to run around. Her kind heart and amazing communication puts me at so much peace and there truly is no one else you need, but her. She is willing to free up time for you and makes sure your pup leaves more happy than they walked in! I genuinely would recommend her in a heart beat and have worked with her for several years. Such an amazing, flexible, and thoughtful young women!

About: I have worked in two animal care environments, one being a pet sitting/dog walking company, the other being a dog day care facility. I have supervised and cared for groups of dogs, as well as provided walks, play time, or fresh food/water. I also frequently used to watch my neighbors pups and home when they went out of town on vacations. I grew up with and helped take care of 2 cats and 2 dogs (a golden retriever mix and a german shepherd), as well as a few other critters like hamsters and hermit crabs, and I have currently have a cat of my own! I work full time but still have plenty of opportunities for pet care! Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am always working 7 am to 3 pm, Thursdays I am normally free morning or evening hours. The rest of the week I either work 7-3pm or 2-9pm (and I will communicate with you to work out a schedule!) I definitely have a lot of experience going to different client homes and working with a variety of situations and breeds. I love to give everyone's fur babies some love and care, like giving them some head or belly scratches, some play time, time to run around outside if need be, or providing some fresh water and a friendly person for them to hang out with.

Leaving a pet behind while traveling, going to work, or having an emergency can be a major stressor on pet owners and I know the feeling all too well! I have known Karli since she was a young girl. You can trust her to give your pets special attention, talk to them and interact with them like you would, like they’re the most precious pet on earth! She is very reliable and detail oriented and would gladly listen to your requests on how to feed, walk, pet, and hold your beloved animal. Karli has always been a natural animal lover her whole life, from cats and dogs to chickens and goats! She has a special bond with animals that really can’t be put into words. Simply said, she loves them and they love her back! She also enjoys training and has been very successful at it. Karli does a wonderful job caring for animals and is also completely responsible and trustworthy to have in your home! Your pet will love Karli and you will too!

About: I'm a 37-year-old mom of 5; 1 cat, 2 dogs, a kindergartener and a 5th grader. Our house is filled with love, kindness and activities! We have a huge backyard that everyone loves to play in- located near beautiful parks, and serene sidewalk-laiden neighborhoods surrounded by nature. All animals welcomed and nurtured, just like family (because, they are!) Walks are our favorite activity and safety is our priority. Whether your dog is trained to be off-leash or uses a special collar or harness, we keep our clients protected and safe- using the leash for walks, hikes and potty breaks. High-energy play can be done at our neighborhood dog park. This can be an off--leash activity, due to the saftey of the fence, but it depends on the comfort level of your pet with other animals. Otherwise, we will stick to the routine that is already set for your dog to make it as relaxed as possible for them while you're gone. Overnights are free-range, if your animal isn't crate trained. Clients are allowed to find their comfy spot and relax. I do check on them after they find their spot, and make sure they are comfortable. Please provide any special instructions or dietary needs when booking. With the kids at school during the day, all paws are on deck for cuddles, play time, naps, potty breaks and snacks! Weekend and summer activities are all planned around any petcare gigs I have at the time. I love meeting new personalities and getting to know the pets I work with. With 25 years of animal care under my belt, I am confident your fur-baby will enjoy the attention and care they deserve.

Lauren has helped watch many of her neighbor's dogs (large and small), cats, guinea pigs & hamsters since 7th grade. Nine years later, as an upcoming senior in college, she's a responsible, reliable, caring animal baby-sitter. Over the past year, Lauren has bonded with and walked dogs at Orphans of the Storm Animal Shelter in Riverwoods, IL. Her love and attention has helped many find their forever homes. During her college school year, she volunteers at Tails Animal Shelter in DeKalb, IL with the same loving attention to their animals.
