“Amy is wonderful, I felt completely comfortable having her check in on my pets…cats, rabbits and fish! She is so reliable, and confidently gave my clever kitty her meds with no problems everyday. I cannot recommend Amy enough!”

“Steve is wonderful!! He really went above and beyond for us. He was attentive and caring with my animals, on time, thorough and communicative. I felt so much peace of mind knowing that he was taking care of them. I will absolutely book him any time I need help with my pets. I can’t recommend him enough!!! Thank you Steve!”

About: Lifetime dog owner and several years of experience as a professional dog walker in the heart of Boston, MA! Experienced with all breeds and types of walking equipment. I recently moved to the Midwest from Boston so I'm currently a full-time dog-dad! I have a lot of free time to take care of pets :-) I follow all instructions given, as you know your pets best, and will always leave everything as I found it! I love to keep an open line of communication should any questions arise on either side.

“We needed a sitter last-minute and Jenny could not have been more accommodating. She responded to my Request so promptly and came to get my keys the very next day! She sent me detailed updates and adorable photos of my cat and I could tell she really loves animals and that he was in great hands. We would recommend Jenny 100%!!!”

“Christina is so good with our kitties! It helps lessen the guilt of leaving them when she is there. She has a way with them, and getting our shy ones to come out of hiding 💕”

About: Hi! I'm Thalia, a 20-year-old from Cuba and currently a Lake Forest College student living in Highland Park. I have extensive experience caring for animals. Since I was very little, I've always been surrounded by animals. Back in Cuba, my mom and I would rescue many cats and dogs, and we've always had at least five cats at home. I've also volunteered for over two years with animal shelters such as Orphans of the Storm, taking foster cats with medical needs home until they find their forever one. This experience, along with my intent to become a vet after college, makes me comfortable working with animals with medical needs and following care prescribed by doctors. This lifelong experience has made me very patient and responsible, with a deep understanding of the skills and commitment required to care for pets. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of your furry friends. Thank you for considering my profile. Please feel free to reach out to me for further discussion! I usually do dog walks in the afternoons, but I’m very open to homesitting and animal care at any time of the day! I provide overnight care as well. I provide excellent care for animals and my clients’ homes by treating them with the same love and respect I’d give my own. With over two years of experience as both a pet sitter and house sitter, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to ensure pets are happy, safe, and well-cared for, whether it’s keeping up with their feeding schedules, engaging them with playtime, or making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. When it comes to homes, I pride myself on maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, from watering plants to collecting mail, and I always leave your space just as tidy (if not tidier!) than I found it. I’ve even worked with animals who have special needs, so I’m comfortable providing extra care and attention when required. I truly enjoy creating peace of mind for my clients, knowing their furry friends and homes are in good hands while they’re away.

“Our fur baby is very shy. Erin was great with communicating and even tried some different things to get him out from under the bed. We really appreciated her help!”

Chrysa C.

“Chris is fantastic! Our shy kitty, Ralph, really warmed up to her and we so appreciated her status checks and photos! We felt so safe leaving our two cats in her hands while we were out of town. Chris took notes during our meet and greet and was super thorough. 10/10!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life including cats, dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I’ve always had a huge heart for them and love taking care of them and spending time with animals in any way that I can. I often pet sit for neighbors and friends. I am a student, going to school throughout the week, so tasks like popping in to check up on a pet and dog walking are great daily opportunities for me. I keep a very clean and tidy home which will ensures a safe environment for my pets and. I also am very attentive to my pets and provide them the needed attention and love because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them.

About: I have had animals in my life ever since I was born. I am a huge dog person and fostered pups before I got my own. I have a chihuahua/mini pincher mix who loves people and other animals, no matter the size! If I am away for work, I constantly watch my pup on the doggy cam. I ensure he gets at least two walks a day, play time at least 3 times a day, and all the snuggles he wants! I've became very skilled at potty training as we went through it living in a high rise. I have a flexible schedule and live/work in Highwood/Highland Park. I have evenings off and do not mind early mornings or weekend appointments! Please let me know how I can help you and your dog! I am an early riser and come by to hang out with my dog for lunch every day. I also have evenings off to enjoy with them whether it’s a long walk or playtime in the house! Tito roams free in the house but I always make sure my pup and the clients get along well before booking. I watch them on the doggy cam while I’m gone and always frequently check in to make sure all is well. My number one concern is making sure everyone is comfortable and happy so I do whatever it takes to ensure that with my clients.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also have 3 years experience working at 2 different animal hospitals and 3 years experience working at a dog daycare as a client care coordinator and puppy preschool supervisor. Special skills include caring for puppies and their specific needs, caring for senior dogs including administering medications, helping dogs with mobility issues, etc. Dog enrichment is my passion! I have a ton of dog toys (that are cleaned regularly!) and assure you I will find your dogs play style, and maybe even discover a hidden play style you didn’t know about! I am currently pet sitting full time leaving me with plenty of time to play with your pups during the day while you are at work, or for overnight sleepovers during the week & weekend. I am also available for weekday walks or runs with your more active doggos. We are apartment living with quick dog park and dog beach access as well as plenty of access to fenced in yards. Also happy to stay in home depending on the needs of your pet.

About: I offer a warm, calm, loving environment. I only board one or two dogs at a time. This allows for personalized attention for your pet. I allow my pets and yours on my couch and bed. I have space to crate if that is what your dog needs or wants. I’m three blocks to the beach so if your pup likes to walk at the beach we have that available. We spend a lot of time outside if the weather permits. I can give meds and insulin shots if needed. I’m a pet owner myself so we plug in your pet’s needs into our daily routine. Meal times, potty time, can be accommodated and worked around. I treat your pup just like one of my own. I’m always careful to get their collars/harness on correctly. Play is supervised and highly encouraged.

About: Hey, call me Franky but I’ve been taking care of dogs to 10+ years. I had a dog of my own until we had to put it down. Definitely the best 15 years of his life. Made sure he was a little chunky boy and took him out for runs all the time. I love exercising along side a friend. Especially mans best friend. I’ve take care of friends dogs and all equally love me the same. My availability is very open, as of now (July 2023) I am available Monday - Wednesday, all day no matter what. I’m also an active person, walking and even running to get a good workout in can benefit me and the dog in question. I make sure pets are within my vision, if not I make sure my surroundings are clear and definitely make sure food is not within reach for them to grab. In my home they will always be free and not locked to one area. Clients pets have all the rights and freedom.

About: I do not have any pets of my own currently; however, I grew up with several dogs throughout my entire life. I also worked at a veterinary hospital throughout high school where I was responsible for walking, feeding, and bathing dogs and assisting vets and technicians with a variety of treatments for dogs, cats, and horses. I have experience with all sized dogs but especially love big dogs and animals. Looking to start house and pet sitting again to get some animal love while it is not feasible for me to get an animal of my own and make a little extra income as a recent graduate. I currently work full time during the week but work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. My schedule can be somewhat flexible depending otherwise I am available some weeknights and weekends for house and pet sitting. I can meet all of your animal's needs from the comfort of your own home. I strive to keep animals happy and in a somewhat normal routine while their owners are away. I am also a very clean and respectful person and will bring that to any client's home. I also love the outdoors, walking, running, etc. and would love to bring a dog with me on exercise adventures if okay with owner.

About: I am a service dog handler so I have had 3 years of experience training dogs from puppyhood up to their adult life! My dogs are always cared for and loved and there is no reason that your pet cant be either! I am currently unemployed so I have lots of time to look after your pets! I am looking for a job at the moment to sustain myself and my service dog but in the meantime, why not do what I love most in the world and spend time taking care and having fun with your pets!! I will always make sure that your pet(s) are provided the physical/mental stimulation that they need! After anything exerting, there will be a potty break, some water, and a nice nap :) I will stay outside/inside and play with your pet(s) for as long as it is needed for them to exercise! I will also keep track of their meals and make sure they are fed the correct amount at their usual time so that they stick to the routine that you have established with them!
