“Thank you for the wonderful care you provided to our doggie! We appreciate the thoughtfulness of the photos you took of him and can tell he enjoyed his time with you.

“Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of our kitty. Communication with you was great and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a cat sitter. We appreciate the pics sent each day.

This was our first time using a service like this and Kisha made the experience a positive one and we look forward to using Kisha in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Art I’ve spent the past 10+ years immersed in the world of dogs—personally, professionally, and through volunteer work. From working at PetSmart to volunteering in dog rehabilitation programs, I’ve built deep experience with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve been a proud dog owner for over a decade and a trusted sitter for friends, family, and clients who rely on me for consistent, loving care. Whether your dog needs high-energy playtime, gentle companionship, medication, or just a calm, dependable presence—I’ve got it covered. Dogs aren't just animals to me—they’re family. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, and loved whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. You’ll get plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in experienced hands. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet—I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work overnights and I am available during the day noon to 9 pm. I am available weekends with some advance notice. Available in house or come to you with notice. I have a fenced in yard that we do not use chemicals on and monitor for pests or plants that are not animal friendly. Home comes stocked with a friendly playful dog, toys, and cat that will probably hide.
“I will definitely be using Sylvie for my future needs! Everything went smooth from meet and greet up until the final day. In my past there he always been some issue with dog sitters. Sylvie was quick to respond to request. The next day she came for a meet and greet which my dogs took well to her! I always get nervous with my 150+ lb mastiff but she had no fear of her! Sylvie sent many pictures during each visit to show me they were in good hands! She also went above and beyond for my older dog who sometimes can't hold her potty on the blanket! I HIGHLY recommend Sylvie for your pet needs!!!!”
About: I’ve have grown up in a house with both cats and dogs, very comfortable with large breeds of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually. I work full time and have availability usually everyday after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends as I have those off work. I will follow any house rules and will do what I can to make your pets comfortable with me being in their homes to help take care of them in any way that they need.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs through various experiences. I am responsible and dependable. I have owned dogs my entire life and currently have a 3 year old energetic boxer mix. I trained my own pup from 7 weeks old and attended a 12 week training course with her. Positive tones and patience are key. I love being active and getting outside and can guarantee your dog a happy and active experience! I am a full time teacher! I have summers and other school breaks off. I will be available for dog walking in the afternoons starting May 29th. During the month of June I work summer school but am available for dog walking any time after 1:00 pm. I am looking to help during vacation times and long weekends. For house sitting, I am willing to stay from 7am to 11pm but will not be available for overnights for initial clients. I am available for meet and greets beforehand! I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your home and animals as I would my own.

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 been caring for animals for 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages and temperaments. My experience ranges from daily walks and overnight care to administering medications and even helping with rescue animals. I’m calm, patient, and reliable—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, so I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I’ve got it covered! Let me know what makes your pet happiest, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. I’m available weekday evenings and most weekends, with flexible timing to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s evening check-ins, dinner feedings, weekend walks, or overnight stays—I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and the animal with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines and medication schedules to favorite toys and hiding spots—so your pet’s daily rhythm stays consistent. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before and after every visit, and I always check for any potential hazards like spilled food, open trash, or small items that could be chewed. I keep my visits calm and positive, and I communicate clearly with pet parents. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for—even while you’re away.

About: I have worked at many pet places such as Petco, Pet Care Plus which is a dog boarding and daycare, as well as animal hospitals, and even puppy stores when I was a teenager. I became a certified veterinary assistant in 2016 at College of DuPage. So, I am aware of how precious an animal's life is especially to their owner's, and will provide nothing less than the best care for their dog. I am extremely interactive and attentive to animals. I get along with most animals I come across and love being able to care for them. Growing up with 5 dogs helped me become a gentle and friendly human being. All different breeds and kinds of dogs I get along with, whether it be a huge great dane ready to run and play or a little chihuahua that wants to snuggle. Whichever case, I am up for the challenge. I would love to make your dog feel as comfortable and at home as if they were in your own!

Art S.
“I've seen firsthand the incredible care and compassion he brings to every animal he meets. He has a long history of caregiving for both dogs and cats—walking them, pet-sitting, and even helping with animals that need medication. He knows all the little tricks to make animals feel safe and comfortable, especially those who are shy or fearful. In fact, he's helped rehabilitate pets who were afraid of men, showing just how patient and gentle he is. More than his experience, it's his genuine love for animals that sets him apart. He treats every pet like family, and animals quickly sense that. Any pet would be lucky to be in his care.”
