“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz

About: I am a huge animal person. I have had 2 cats and 2 dogs my whole life. They are all at different stages of life, one of my dogs and both of my cats being either senior citizens or leg- amputees. I have a very large, young, and energetic dog as well. I can take of pets at any age or with disabilities, and I love them all! I love to help animals. I’m currently home for the Summer without a full time job so my schedule is very open! I am pretty much open any day or any time needed! I love to play with dogs or cats and I want them to feel safe at all times! I can do whatever they may need on potty breaks or visits, and walks as well. I am very attentive on walks and such because I have a big dog who is quiet the puller on walks, so I am used to it!

About: My husband and I have always been dog people. Growing up he had two labradors and I had a beagle. When we bought our house we adopted a senior lab. We spoiled him as much as we could and loved him unconditionally. After losing Ceasar two years ago, we walked into an animal shelter and that's where our baby, Uru-Kai, stole our hearts. I don't work on weekends, I have holidays off and the summer off. I already have a dog so I know how important it is to stick to a routine. Our current dog goes out on four walks a day. If he needs to go potty because he drank too much water we let him in the back yard. If he seems bored he rings the doorbell to be let in the backyard. When we need to leave the house our dog is put in his crate to ensure that he's safe and stays out of trouble while we're gone.

“Thank you, Stephany!”

“Abby was amazing with our dog, Stella! While we were away, she kept us updated with sweet messages and adorable photos that showed how happy and comfortable Stella was. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girl was being so well cared for. Abby went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful to have found her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Sasha — a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked in doggy daycares as a handler, bather, and walker, and I’m Pet CPR & First Aid Certified so your pup’s safety and comfort always come first. I work from home as a designer, which means your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I also have a fenced yard and a cozy, dog-friendly home filled with beds, toys, and space to relax. I have a small dog named Nacho who is my sidekick and keeps me on a consistent routine with regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and play sessions throughout the day. Dogs staying with me are treated like family — they’ll have access to water, comfy spaces to rest, toys, and lots of love. I’m happy to accommodate cuddle bugs too — if your pup enjoys sleeping near people, they’ll fit right in here. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I have 1 small dog that is by my side 24/7 during the week. Caring for your pet will fit into my routine nicely. I work as a designer and always home during the week. I usually let my boy Nacho out to play in the morning at 7am, 8am, 11am, 2pm, and 4pm, 6pm and 9:15pm. I usually keep the dogs with me in my area while I work. They have access water, food, beds and toys. I have a bunch of doggy beds and toys 🧸 all around the house. I also don’t mind the dogs sleeping in bed with me. I love to snuggle with the fur babies.

“I can't say enough great things about Jacqui! They went above and beyond while checking on my dog, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Not only did they make sure all the basics were covered—food, water, bathroom breaks, but they also took the time to give my dog some love, playtime, and attention, which made all the difference. I got regular updates (including some adorable photos!), and I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear that Jacqui truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy. I'd recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family members. Thank you so much for everything!”

“I can’t even put into words how wonderful Krystina is! She made me feel so comfortable and great about this entire process of watching my kitty. This was my first time using an app like this and I couldn’t be happier! She always stayed extra long to hang with my kitty and sent the BEST pictures while she was there! She left detailed notes about my kitty and always kept me in the loop. She went out of her way to meet me and my kitty before and was just so kind. I couldn’t recommend her enough!! I will absolutely be using her again in the future! My kitty never went too long without Krystina coming for the next check in. I truly am so grateful for her!!!”

About: Hiya! I'm Michael. I'm dedicated to providing pets with quality care and affection while you're away. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals. I love all manner of pets: cats and dogs alike, birds, rodents, reptiles, etc., and I feel comfortable around them all. In high school, I began dog and cat sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, where I acquainted myself with services like (dog) walks, overnight stays, administering medicines (as needed), and home security checks. Whether you have a large, high energy dog who prefers a hike, or a old cat that prefers quiet companionship and head scratches, I’ve got it covered. I love learning about animals and their various quirks and habits to ensure they feel safe, loved, and entertained, so rest assured, your pets will have a wonderful experience. During the day, I work as a substitute teacher, meaning I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I am available for early morning walks and feedings before 8:00 AM, am occasionally open for midday check-ins, and am always free for dinner and evening care (typically after 3:30 PM). Additionally, my weekends are completely open, allowing me to dedicate a majority of my time to your pets for longer outings or overnight stays. Because I follow a school-day routine, I’m a great fit for owners who are comfortable being home during the day and are ready for lots of attention once school’s out (especially during breaks)! When caring for pets, my top priorities are maintaining their routine and ensuring the safety of the home. I stick closely to schedules to keep stress levels low while you're away. For dogs, this means regular walks and plenty of play; for cats and smaller animals, it means keeping their environments clean and comfortable. When requested, I also perform basic home checks, such as bringing in mail or adjusting lights, so you can have peace of mind, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.

“Mya was great with communication and sent great pics of the doggies so I know they had a good time with her!”

About: I have had dogs and cats growing up and pet sat all through college. My husband and I had a dog earlier in our marriage - we loved her while she lived with us. We have had our friends dogs over at our home overnight while they are on vacation to "dog-sit". Our kids love pets and enjoy hosting the pets of our friends. We are home all day almost every day. Our kids are part of a hybrid school so we have lots of flexibility. We have plenty of time and space to make your pet happy and comfortable and to take care of their needs. We have a big house that can accommodate all of your pets needs and a huge fenced in back yard. We also live close to parks and the forest preserve is a short 7min drive away if needed.

“Bev is the best! I will definitely ask her to take care of my pets again.”
