About: I’m a pet loving individual here to help and protect your fur babies in your absence. My name is Cynthia and I currently have two cats, one beagle/hound dog, one hermit crab and a beta fish. I am patient, flexible, caring and have dog and cat training experience, since I grew up with pets of all kinds. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds. I’m flexible with whatever the needs are of your animal and will treat your dog/cat like our own plus accommodate as necessary. I’m active and love going on dog walks or cat sitting and look forward to taking care of your fur babies. Happy to provide references. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to take care of more than one pet. I’m also flexible either morning or evening works good for me. I have a big fenced yard and two crates (size small and medium) if needed. I also have a friendly dog who can play and keep your fur baby company.

About: I am an experienced, reliable and dependable pet lover. I have grown up my whole life with animals. I recently had to put my senior pitbull down so my house is very quiet now. Pet care is my passion and currently my main source of income and work. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am interested in walking, daily visits, or overnight boarding anytime of the week. Our home has a large fenced in yard, perfect for your pup to enjoy some fresh air, or bask in the sunshine. I can take your pet on walks or they can run around in the yard. Or we can snuggle up on the couch and get lots of belly rubs.

“We appreciate you taking care of our pets while we were away. Thank you for making sure everyone had what they needed and sending us picture updates too.”

About: Dog and cat owner my whole life! Currently a momma to 3 cats and one senior pitbull. I love to be around animals and fostered often before moving to the Chicagoland area. As a small business owner who works part-time, I have the flexibility to make pet care a priority in my daily routine! My mornings start with making sure my pets and yours are happy, loved, and well cared for. After spending a few hours in my office, my afternoons are reserved for furry friends, plenty of cuddles, playtime, and a little extra spoiling! I love having the freedom to give every pet the attention and affection they deserve. I’ll care for your feline friend in the comfort of their own home, where they feel happiest and most secure! From cuddles and playtime to meals and a clean litter box, I’ll make sure your kitty feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: As a proud pet owner myself, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I take immense pride and honor in providing the highest level of care, backed by decades of hands-on experience. My background includes over 15 years of experience working with German Shepherd/Sheep Herd dogs, understanding their unique loyalty, energy, and intelligence. Additionally, I have 28 years of dedicated experience caring for felines—both male and female indoor cats—giving me a deep understanding of their diverse personalities, needs, and behaviors. When your pets are with me, they will receive the same fierce love, respect, and attentive care that I give to my very own. My daily life revolves around my own vibrant pet family: one high-energy German Shepherd and three indoor cats. Managing this household has taught me the art of a perfect routine—balancing the physical and mental stimulation needed for intelligent herd breeds with the quiet, structured care that felines thrive on. From morning walks and puzzle toys for large breeds to meticulous litter box maintenance and separate feeding schedules for multiple cats, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my everyday routine. I know exactly what it takes to keep a multi-pet home safe, organized, and filled with love, and I am excited to bring that same dedicated, expert care to your beloved animals! As a dedicated pet provider, safety isn't just a checkbox for me—it is the foundation of how I manage my home and routine. I believe that a predictable, structured environment combined with purposeful engagement is key to keeping animals secure, happy, and stress-free. Secure & Supervised Environments: To ensure total safety, my cats remain strictly indoors at all times, protected from outside hazards. When out in the beauty of nature, dogs are strictly kept on a leash to guarantee full control and security. Confidence-Building Playtime: I know that cats thrive on mental stimulation just as much as dogs do. Structured playtime with felines is a priority in my home because it burns excess energy, prevents stress, and—most importantly—builds their confidence and security in their environment. Structured Rest & Crate Comfort: I respect an animal's need for boundaries and decompression. If a dog needs downtime to relax or reset, I utilize crate training as a safe, positive haven for them to unwind. Proactive Health & Bloat Prevention: Having deep experience with large breeds, I am hyper-aware of digestive health. All meals are served on a strict, timely schedule. Furthermore, I enforce mandatory, quiet rest periods immediately after eating to prevent any digestive discomfort or dangerous conditions like bloat. When you trust me with your pets, you are getting an environment rooted in vigilance, confidence-building routine, and a deep respect for animal wellness.

“We are very pleased with our first drop in with Jackie. Our dog is very anxious around all people and Jackie understood Nabi’s special needs, was on time and very communicative! We will be requesting more drop-ins with Jackie!”

We have a family dog who is a 12 year old pug. I have my own dog as well who is a 1.5 year old golden retriever. I have experience with all sorts of animals. My favorite part of my day is when I get to go on a walk with my dog. Sometimes I work from home. Mainly I will be able to give walks in the evening during the week. I can board dogs over the weekends. My dog gets walked 3 times a day. I have a fenced in backyard which they can go out and play or do their duty. I also live a block away from a park which is my dogs favorite place in the world.

I’m working full time so only evenings work for me on being able to walk or visit your pup but the day does not matter I’m available 7 days a week As a dog owner myself making sure there’s a good fence up and clear line of vision to them is the number one safety when In a home

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have always had a natural love for animals. I’m caring, trustworthy, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I help bathe puppies, care for the animals, and clean the cat room. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m available for part-time pet care and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep them comfortable and on their normal schedule. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’ll make sure your pets’ physical and emotional needs are taken care of while you’re away, and I’ll always provide plenty of love, patience, and attention.

About: Some dogs are ready to go the moment they see the leash. Others would rather take their time and sniff along the way. I’ve walked dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I adjust to what helps each one feel comfortable. I’ll learn your dog’s routine, follow their pace, and respect their boundaries. I’m also happy to help with feeding, fresh water, playtime, reinforcing basic commands, and cleanup. I want your dog to enjoy their time with me and you to feel confident they’re getting the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I have weekday availability and a lot more flexibility on weekends. I plan my bookings so I have enough time for each dog’s walk or visit and can give them my full attention without rushing. I start by learning your dog’s routine and anything that makes them nervous or uncomfortable. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, watch for traffic, weather, and other dogs, and pay attention to how your dog is doing. If they seem uneasy, I slow down, give them space, or change our route rather than push them. In your home, I follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, and cleanup, and respect your space. I’ll also keep you updated on how the walk or visit went.

About: I worked at a dog daycare/boarding place at the Wag Hotels Schiller Park location for 2 1/2 years: feeding, cleaning their rooms, giving medications and more! I have great experience with both cats and all types of dogs and have always enjoyed my time spent with the animals! :) I also have my own animals at home that I take care of— both a dog and a cat. I am taking classes during the week and my schedule will be more packed during the weekdays, so weekends would be the best for me to work with! Unfortunately I cannot house pets during the day or overnight as I am in school, but I am available for drop in visits, dog-walking, and possibly future pet sitting opportunities!

About: I am a STAR SITTER on Rover. Animals are the universal gift of natural therapy and happiness, just like sun they give us a burst of pure spontaneous life. About me I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. Adaptable to pets needs daily routine how they typically operate within their own home . I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — from growing up with them to raising my own now. I currently care for a black Lab with a strong personality, so I understand leash control, structure, and clear boundaries. I’m calm, consistent, and confident with all breeds, including high-energy or reactive dogs. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walks, feeding, cleanup, and calming routines. Whether your dog needs structured exercise or just a reliable visitor, I’m ready to show up. I work part-time with a consistent, flexible routine that allows me to care for your dogs during the day. I’m available for walks and drop-ins: • Mondays after 11:00 AM • Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 8:00 AM If your dog needs structured exercise, calm energy, or just a mid-morning break, I’ve got you covered. While I do not offer in-home boarding, I provide dependable drop-ins and walks tailored to your dog’s needs. I live with my own dog, Sam, who is reactive to other animals, so I cannot bring pets into my home — but this also means I understand how to work calmly and respectfully with dogs that may need space or structure. I’m confident handling leash reactivity, high-energy dogs, and special instructions.

About: I've always had dogs my whole life. Friends and family can always rely on me to take care of their pets or check in on their pets whenever they are out of town or busy at work. I will feed, walk, and play for however much time is needed. I currently work early mornings but there is someone always at the house to feed, play and keep your furry friends company! My whole day after work is completely open so I can't wait to take care of them. Huge fenced yard as well as a my own pet to play with your furry friend if needed. Plenty of toys to keep them occupied as well as plenty of treats to spoil them.

“Kenya was a great sitter for our cat! She was very communicative and followed my instructions perfectly. My cat was well taken care of and I felt better knowing Kenya was looking after her.”

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me how important patience, kindness, and attention are to their well-being. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking walks, playing, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the same love and attention I would give my own. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I moved to another country because of the war in my homeland, and spending time with animals has become especially meaningful to me, as I deeply miss the connection I had with them before. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. 😀
