About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and it’s truly one of my biggest passions. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m comfortable providing the right level of care, attention, and patience. I’ve spent time working in dog daycare/pet care settings, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I know how important it is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable — especially when their favorite humans are away. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, sticking to a feeding routine, or making sure medications are given properly, I’m reliable and attentive to every detail. You can count on me to treat your pets like they’re part of my own family, giving them plenty of love, exercise, and care while keeping you updated so you always feel at ease I work full time Sunday - Thursday. My hours are different everyday but I am willing to work around them to help you out as best as I can! I would love to come to your home and provide care for your fur babies! Most pets do better in their own home and I don't have the best setup at my home. I don't want to create any unnecessary stress for them.

“Daniela was wonderful with our dog. She is very responsible. She walked our pup daily, kept the house clean, and posted pictures of our pup daily. We will use Daniela again!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, including senior pets who require extra attention and medical care. I have experience administering medications, including injections for diabetic dogs, and I’ve also cared for birds. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love bonding with animals. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your pets will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. At the same time, I’m very attentive to their individual needs—whether that’s high energy activities or gentle, calm care for older pets. I’m also extremely responsible and respectful of your home. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for both their pets and their houses, and I always make sure to leave everything even better than I found it. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! Right now, since it’s summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. I rehearse for a show for only a few hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can also accommodate overnight stays whenever needed. My schedule is very flexible outside of rehearsals, so I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s routine and specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide—to keep them happy and stress-free. I also ensure medications are given safely and on schedule when needed. I treat your home with care, keeping it clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, so pets feel happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel loved and well cared for!

About: Hello, my name is Reed. I’m a 25-year-old student and former Kennel Technician with hands-on experience in dog sitting, daycare, and boarding on my off days. Over the past year, I’ve also worked professionally leading off-leash group hikes using e-collars, managing 15–17 dogs at a time on dog-friendly trails and parks. This role has given me advanced skills in safe pack management, recall training, and e-collar handling. When your pup is with me, you can count on structured exercise, socialization, and fun adventures at dog parks and on dog-friendly trails. I’ll also make sure you receive high-quality photos of your pet so you can see them enjoying their day. I’ve been formally trained on dog behavior and care through PackPro and the Dog Handler Academy, and I continue to build on that knowledge every day. Feel free to reach out and book a date—I’d love to give your dog the care, attention, and adventure they deserve. I work at the pet resort Sunday-Tuesday and Thursdays. If needed on Tuesdays and Thursdays I can do a late overnight stay for a discount. In the house, I can board a family and give medicine oral or injections. I go to dog parks often, and usually take them outside every hour to an hour and a half. The only requirement is having a dog that is friendly so my dog stays safe as well.

“Laura was super communicative our whole time away. She asked great questions when I forgot to mention things but otherwise I felt like the pets were well loved and cared for while we were gone. The house was the same as we left it with regards to clean :) We will definitely work with Laura again!”

About: Hey there ! My name is oakley and I am so excited to meet you & your beloved pup! I have had trained experience caring for many pets over the years, including working at veterinary clinics for over three years. I have a full-time remote job as an accountant (working on my real CPA license), but love taking care of people’s pups while they are away! I am from Utah, love trail running, traveling, horseback riding, and pretty much any adventure. I can walk in the early morning, mid afternoon, or evening! I work a remote job, so I would be very flexible and would love to help take care of your pup! My dog is my best friend! He goes on tons of runs, walks, and always is loved on with plenty of attention, care, and goodies!

“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”

About: We're a couple in our seventies enjoying a new chapter of life as avid travelers. We are authors and retired magazine publishers. With our five children now grown, we sold our home and spent the past five years exploring the world. Along the way, we've had the joy of connecting with extraordinary people from all walks of life. We and our children have owned every kind of pet, from dogs and cats to lizards, parrots, chickens, rabbits, etc. Though we no longer have our own pets, we've discovered a deep satisfaction in caring for other people's animals. It's a heartwarming experience that adds another layer of fulfillment to our travels. Pet care blends naturally into our routine as writers. Walks, feeding, and companionship structure our days, while quiet writing hours fit comfortably around the rhythms of caring for animals. When we care for pets in our clients’ homes, we focus on maintaining the routines and environment the pets already know and trust. • We follow the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime so their routine stays consistent. • We provide companionship and attention, making sure they feel secure and not lonely while their owners are away. • We keep the home environment calm and familiar, using the same commands, toys, and sleeping areas the pets are used to. • We monitor health and behavior, watching for any changes in appetite, mood, or activity and responding quickly if needed. • We communicate with owners, sending regular updates, photos, and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. • We maintain your home responsibly, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Our goal is simple: the pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home while their owners travel with complete peace of mind.

“Eric and Candace are fantastic! We've never left the dogs with strangers before and they weren't strangers for long. Their black lab Buddy is a sweetheart and was immediately running around and playing with our 2 dogs. They sent pictures and texts while we were away which I very much appreciated, as I can get a little anxious about my lil' babies. I am so happy to have connected with Eric and Candace and will 100% rebook with them to be confident my furry family members are safe and happy when we're away.”

About: I grew up dogs and cats, and still continue to housesit and care for friends’ and familys’ furry babies. I've cared for energetic puppies and sweet seniors, and lots of animals at once. I'm happy to follow specific care routines, daily walks, playtime, and any medical needs, with plenty of snuggles. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying -knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I have two dogs of my own a Border Collie mix and a Lab mix, both are seven years old, and spoiled rotten..So I've been told, and they get along with other dogs. While I'm housesiting/animal sitting., I'll be working on my computer, making phone calls, playing with your furry babies, and occasionally stepping out of the house for 3-4 hours at the most, to do errands, grocery shopping, and family needs. If your pup stays with me..I have a fenced backyard, and two of my own furry babies, Toby and Skit. They get along with others. I take them on hikes every day on BLM land near me. Since I live in the country, they're leash and off-leash trained.I have extra dog beds, and bowls, pups stay in my room with me at night.

“We booked with Elva and Matt for house sitting while we were on vacation. Our previous planned sitter had cancelled last minute and we are honestly so happy they did so we could meet Matt and Elva! Blu absolutely loved them and they took great care of him, as well as the house. Their communication was amazing and we got daily photos and updates of our little guy! We will definitely be booking again☺️”

“Andy did a fantastic job house-sitting and caring for our 7-year-old Labradoodle. Our pup immediately connected with him at the Meet and Greet (which was a great sign and not always the case with our overprotective dog). Andy is a great communicator, reliable, kind, and attentive. He sent pictures and updates over the 4 day stay, handled medications, gave multiple walks each day, and was respectful of our home (it was hard to tell he had even been there upon our return). Highly recommend!”

“I can’t even begin to tell you how great Kirk is. Part of me doesn’t want to, because he’ll get busier than he is even now. The care he gave our pets was more than I could expect. They love him. If you’re like me, coming home is one of the best parts of any vacation. We came home to a cleaner home than we left. Not only did he change his own sheets and towels and launder them. He performed other tasks that needed to be done. We’re getting older, and some tasks are harder for us than before. Kirk took care of them.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for as long as I can remember, walking, feeding, poop pick-up, bathing, and of course playing. I’ve grown up in a household with all shapes and sizes of dogs and occasionally cats. Now that I’m older I foster seven cats and take care of my family’s two dogs! I’ve taken care of and tended to horses, sheep, chickens, goats, lizards, ferrets, and bunnies though so don’t be afraid to reach out if you have other pets that need some love too! I’m currently finishing my senior year of high school! I only go to school on A-Days so B-Days I’ll be available to tend to all the pets needs all day whereas A-Days I’ll only be able to help on mornings and nights! I’m always available on weekends though! I’ve taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes and I understand just like everyone how hard it is to find a pet-sitter expecially if you have multiple pets! I’ve always loved animals though and can guarantee you’re pets will be in good hands and have a good time!

About: I was raised on a ranch with various annimals and understand how to communicate with all animals. I currently am the mom to two herding dogs that I keep mentally and physically active. I’m 5’8 and strong so I can work with large breeds. My schedule is completely open. Ideally my working hours are between 7am and 8pm. I’m working to combine my love for hiking and walking with my love for animals and ensuring they have a happy and balanced life. I am available for hikes, walks, drop-ins and pet sitting at your home. I will work with special needs dogs and animals. I will work on specific training your dog is currently needing. I’m tall and fit so I can work with large breeds.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, when I started my own neighborhood dog-walking business. Since then, friends, family, neighbors, and referrals have trusted me with their pets, and spending time with animals continues to be one of my greatest joys. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s helping a puppy stay on track with crate training and routines, keeping an energetic dog active and engaged, or providing gentle, patient care for a senior dog, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know every dog as an individual. I understand that some dogs want long walks and adventures, while others are happiest relaxing at home with plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and personalized care throughout their stay. I’m currently working remotely Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule and will have plenty of time to prioritize walks and playtime depending on your dogs needs! Because I primarily offer house sitting and drop-in visits, my goal is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in the environment they know best. I take time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions before care begins. During house sits and drop-ins, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and companionship while ensuring pets feel safe and secure. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own and prioritize safety at all times, including secure leashing, monitoring pets outdoors, following household rules, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, loving, and attentive care.

About: I would love to take care of your pets, I grew up on a farm and have been around them all! I seriously love nothing mkre I’m currently not working but I’d love to spend the day taking care of your pets and making sure they are safe and well loved I have a partially fenced big yard! I have two golden retrievers who seriously love every dog and are the friendliest dogs in the world

About: I love caring for dogs and cats! From puppy training to dealing with senior dog issues I’ve had plenty of experience with both and everything in between. I started dog sitting my neighbors dogs when they would go out of town and have since continued plus added a few more neighbors in the years. I love walking dogs and giving them exercise and being able to just enjoy the outdoors. I’m a stay at home mom so I am extremely flexible. Super flexible with requests and availability In and around Evanston. Can usually accommodate most needs! I have a large fenced in yard. Friendly, quiet neighborhood. Very open concept home so plenty of space for animals to have their space but also be able to see everything and everyone

“Daniele loves our pups as her own! We were extremely grateful to have her stay with them over the weekend, and she is thorough, clean, and an excellent communicator. Highly recommend!”
