“Anthony made sure that he knew every detail about our Lucy. He was confident in making sure she was comfortable with him while walking her and made sure she always had water. Would recommend him for any pet needs.”
“Katy has been incredible with our Australian Shepard! She is incredibly responsive and we have been so lucky to have her walk him on a regular basis! Katy is always here on time and lets us know about everything! She’s incredible and if you are looking for any services with your pup she’s the one to reach out to!”

About: I have had animals in my house since I was a little kid. Our family currently has a Great Pyrenees, a Shih Tzu, and 3 cats. I've had experience caring for friend's animals while they were on vacation or whenever they needed a walk, food, or some extra love. I have taken dogs to the dog park, as well. I volunteer at an animal shelter in Tinley Park and work with their stray, small, and large dogs. I have taken out some of the shelter dogs for training exercises and behavioral observations. The most recent dog that I trained can sit and stay before I throw his toy. I, also, have worked with the puppies that come in and understand the extra attention needed for them. I will treat your animals with love and care.

About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for over 50 years. Friends and family trust me with their fur babies when they need a hand. I currently work part time so I have a flexible schedule so I am able to assist on short notice whether that be for dog sitting or dog walking. I can walk your dog, hang out with them, give them treats and love. I’m also able to stay over if needed to make sure they are taken care of overnight. Reach out to me if you have any specifics or questions or questions, I’d be happy to help with any accommodations that would make you and your pet feel comfortable..
About: I have three dogs of my own who are truly my companions. Each has their own personality and I love and appreciate their uniqueness. Because of them, I understand how important it is to treat every dog as an individual. Whether you need a drop in visit or longer care I will give your pup the attention, safety, and care they deserve. You can trust me to follow your dog’s routine and give them plenty of love and exercise while you’re away. I currently work remote and part-time so I have flexibility in my schedule to be there for you and your pet whenever needed. I am available for early morning or evening drop-ins as well. Creating a safe, comfortable environment for animals is a top priority for me—both for my own pets and the dogs I care for. I make sure all areas are clean, secure, and free of hazards, with plenty of space for play and rest. I have a fenced in backyard for my own dogs to roam freely in. I take the time to carefully introduce new dog’s to my own and take into consideration the different personalities of each dog. Supervision, consistency, and a peaceful routine are the key to a positive space where every dog feels safe, loved, and well looked after.
About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.
About: I have taken care of animals most of my life. I currently have 5 animals myself so I know how each one of your fur babies requires special care. I would treat them as my own and look after them with the utmost care. I am currently available most days and times. All I ask is a few hours heads up so i can get everything situated. Same day requests are available and im willing to meet before hand so you could get to know me. I have a fenced in yard. I have 4 dogs and a cat that are all trained to be around other dogs and cats. I also have 2 animals that are on medication so I'm used to making sure everyone gets their proper medications on time.
About: Hello! My name is Megan. I have both professional and personal experience caring for animals. I have previous work experience at a dog grooming salon where we also occasionally groomed cats. I can do basic grooming such as brushing, baths, ear cleaning, and nail trims. I do offer nail trimming and filing, as well as 15-30 minute brush outs. Brush outs are great for in-between grooming appointments to ensure your pup doesn’t get any uncomfortable matting! For these services I try and take a “fear-free” approach with lots of snacks, treats, and favorite toys for distraction and motivation. I don’t use any restraints, other than body positioning if needed, and aim to make your dog as comfortable as possible. Working with animals is my true passion and I would love to care for your fur babies! I had my first family dogs when I was 12 years old. Two labradors named Buddy and Shadow. I currently own one 3 year old black lab mix, Dexter. I have also owned cats for nearly my whole life! I currently have a 1.5 year old kitty named Helena. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to two boys. My schedule is currently pretty flexible. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings I’m typically unavailable until 10:30am, but with some notice I can usually work to accommodate your schedule. I am currently available for nail trims and brush-outs, walks, drop-ins, or sitting at your home. Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I will love your fur baby as if they were my own! For more information about my services or to discuss your pet's needs, please don't hesitate to message me. I look forward to hearing from you!
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, and have the most experience with large breed dogs and cats. I've been fostering with my mom since I was 12, and I love spending time with fuzzy friends! I am currently unemployed and have as much time to care for pets. This may change, though, so I will always stay updated as soon as possible! I take care of animals inside of a clients home, and care for them as their owners would throughout the day, keeping the pets' routine as regular as possible.
About: My previous dog was a therapy dog who loved being around people. He was the best, most well-trained dog and we miss him every day. I currently have been working part-time and would LOVE to have a furry friend to check on in the early mornings or after 5pm ish. I would love the love! I love to walk and will make sure I clean up and not mess up any home or area I am in. I am a responsible, ethical, woman who (with my husband) is not home a lot. We do not think this would be fair to a dog.

Megan M.
“Megan is absolutely phenomenal with dogs and cats. I had the pleasure of working with her years ago when we were both bathers at a dog grooming salon, and she always cared so deeply for all of the dogs that came in, no matter their size, breed, age, or ability. She treated each and every dog as though they were a part of her own family. Since then, Megan has helped take care of my cats for me while I've been on vacation, and my extremely stranger-shy cats warm up to her pretty quickly each time. I always come home to find them well taken care of and just as happy (if not happier!) than I left them. I cannot think of someone I'd trust more with my furry babies than Megan. I absolutely could not recommend her enough.”
