About: For many years, I have cared for my own pets, developing a deep affection and understanding for them. I have also provided loving and responsible care to other pets belonging to friends and neighbors. My experience in caring for elderly individuals has also enhanced my empathy and dedication. I am passionate about the well-being of animals and the peace of mind of their owners. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide consistent care and maintain pets’ routines. I am available daily and can adapt to their feeding, rest, and companionship schedules. On Sundays, I attend church, and on some weekdays I may be out in the afternoon for short periods, always planning ahead to ensure pets are comfortable and well cared for. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets. I keep spaces organized and free of hazards, always respecting their feeding, rest, and play routines. I supervise pets constantly and make sure they have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and attention according to their needs. My priority is for them to feel safe, cared for, and at home.

“My dog loves Tamara! I’ve been using her for over a year and only trust her to watch my dog who has bad anxiety and is skiddish with most people. When I drop her off, she doesn’t even know I’m there anymore. That makes me happy since my baby has anxiety bad. Definitely recommend her. She’s very caring and accommodating!”

I have a spacious place for your dog to have plenty of room to play and be comfortable. In addition, I have a dog park and a spacious park/field a walk away from my home.

About: Kyle and Ben have been caring for dogs in our home for over fifteen years. We have experience administering medications, whether they be topical, ingested or intravenous. Our goal is to make sure you know your dog is safe and well cared for while you're out of town. We are very quick to respond to all phone calls, text messages and emails and will keep you posted with photos and updates on how your dog is doing while they are staying with us. We also provide flexible pick up and drop off hours for your convenience and can provide transportation if necessary. Kyle has several years of experience working in the pet care industry, starting with shelter work, moving onto a dog daycare/boarding facility and managing of two different dog and cat supply stores (one local, one corporate) in the last fifteen years. She is certified in dog and cat first aid and CPR by the American Red Cross and has experience administering topical, oral and intravenous medications. She has extensive experience handling senior and disabled animals, as well as dogs with behavioral issues. We have always loved dogs and owned dogs throughout our respective childhoods, but Kyle has gotten more hands on experience in the last fifteen years by dabbling in different fields of animal care. She worked as a kennel attendant at the local SPCA for a period of time, caring for homeless dogs, cats and rabbits. It was there that she learned proper care techniques and how to administer medications. She took these skills with her when she went to work first as a kennel attendant and then as the office manager of a small dog daycare and boarding facility. She spent the next seven years serving as store manager of two different natural dog and cat supply stores, where she helped pet owners provide their animals with healthy natural foods, treats and other supplies. She also organized many in store events to help highlight and raise funds for many local rescues and shelters. In 2020, Kyle completed school to become a dog groomer and has been grooming dogs in Hyde Park for the last several years. Both Kyle and Ben work mainly from home, or not far from home. Kyle works as a dog groomer and is able to bring your dog to work with her during the day to minimize any time your dog may spend without human supervision. We never allow anyone off leash on walks, and we do not utilize off leash dog parks for safety reasons. All of our pets are fully vaccinated. Feeding times are always supervised to prevent any potential food aggression. Toys and chews are put away when human supervision is unavailable to prevent resource guarding.

“Ashley takes great care of our puppy. Her kids give ample play time to entertain our puppy, and Ashley walks and feeds her well. She also is quick to respond to queries. Our puppy gets excited whenever coming to Ashley’s place.”

“My little boy was in wonderful hands at doggie daycare with Dwight. Dwight is fantastic with Navy! He picked Navy up right on schedule and had everything Navy needed — I only had to pack his food. Throughout the day, I received pictures and updates on how Navy was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dwight’s prices are very reasonable, and his calm spirit put me at ease from the very beginning. I definitely plan on using his services often!”

About: I absolutely adore animals and have taken care of them for most of my life. Animals bring me great joy and being able to do what I love as a job is a dream come true. Pet care is a part of my daily routine and I enjoy growing with and caring for animals. On a daily basis I love to help family and friends care for the animals. I work from home, so i’m able to do this full time. I make sure to pay attention to detail and do things exactly how the client and animal likes to be cared for so a safe environment can be fostered.

“Second time using Emily as a dog sitter for Sadie! We love Emily! She sends lots of updates and treats Sadie like her own! It’s just a really relieving feeling being somewhere else and knowing that your dog isn’t sitting in a crate miserable because you’re away. With Emily, we know that Sadie gets lots of attention, pets and even a big yard to run around in!! My husband and I are so thankful we found such a fantastic dog sitter! We will definitely be booking with Emily again!”

About: Hi my name is Yijia and I go by Hellen. I am currently a student at UChicago and I live in an off campus apartment! I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I have a golden retriever and a stray dog that I rescued at my home in China, who are now being taken care of by my mom. Before I came to the U.S., I spent almost every day taking care of my dogs, taking them to parks, feeding them, paying attention to their health conditions, and applying treatments as needed. My boarding and day-care services are mostly available, and I’ll mostly be free when I’m not in class. If you need bookings that are not listed on my calendar, please reach out, and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. Please reach out if you need additional services. I’m living in an apartment with nice facilities and neighborhood, dogs and cats are welcomed to everywhere in my apartment! I have another roommate who also loves animals and will be happy to play with your lovely furry friend! To ensure a safe and comfortable living environment, I will only host 1 pet per night.

About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!

“Does great with new pets and is very patient with them! Definitely would recommend for people who are”
