About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.

“Nicole was awesome. Bosco loved her. She was friendly, punctual and responsive. We highly recommend Nicole.”

“Tara walked our Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever for a week and did a great job! Tara handled two large dogs, took great care and was patient with them each walk. We will be having Tara back and recommend her whole-heartedly!”

“Amy came out to walk our lab, Ralph, on Christmas Eve with less than 24 hours notice! She responded to our last minute request right away and was extremely accommodating and professional. Ralph liked her right away and they enjoyed a nice long walk. I’m so grateful Amy was willing and able to help us out in our time of need! Highly recommend!”

About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

“Diana was prompt, responsive and reliable! She was great to work with and I felt so much relief leaving my pets in good hands while I was away. Thank you Diana! Will absolutely rebook soon”

About: Hello, pet parents! Your pup is in for a treat! I enjoy going on adventures! We check out state parks, forest preserves and beaches during our time together. I take lots and lots of photos to help capture the magic and share the fun with you. Of course for pets with more of a relaxed temperament, cuddles, belly rubs and more low key quality time is also greatly enjoyed. I look forward to spending time with your pup! With my part time flexible work schedule, I have plenty of time to prioritize your dog no matter what day of the week. I don't have any kids or pets of my own, so your dog will recieve my undivided attention. I'm very detail oriented and tidy. What ever your dogs routine is, I'll adapt accordingly and clean up after him or her as well as myself.

“Erin is the first person I’ve used with River & I couldn’t be happier! Erin has been great taking my dog, Bruce, for walks. She’s on time & very communicative, I love seeing the pictures after she’s done. I’m a big fan, but I think my dog might be a bigger one! Highly recommend!”

About: I'm an experienced caretaker, especially with large dogs and fish! I also have much experience with rodents and other small animals. Above all, I love critters, and I'm always happy to build on my experiences or learn a new caretaking skill. I'm a college student home for the summer, with access to a bike-and sometimes a car-so I can get anywhere at any time. It's important to me that pets receive quality care, so no matter what, they'll always be my priority. I don't board, but in clients' homes I make sure to follow guidelines given to me! I love to walk dogs, and will take them for a stroll as many times as needed, but I'm also happy to stay in-home and play with a pet there. Whatever makes them the happiest!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with both puppies and older dogs. I love animals and have many years experience caring for them. I currently run a mobile chiropractic business but I am available most week days both morning and afternoon. I have a flexible schedule overall Monday- Thursdays. I’m not offering boarding services or doggy daycare right now due to living in an apartment. I apologize for the inconvenience. I do offer drop ins and dog walking however!

About: I am Isabella C. I am currently a freshman in college and I love learning about new experiences and meeting new animals. Last year as my senior year of high school I would take care of dogs within 20 miles, I would take them on walks depending how big or small the dog was I would tire them out. Sometimes I would dog sit and I would take the dogs out, give them medication and feed them. I am very responsible by taking care of them. I love dogs and I really enjoy their company and just learning more about them because they help us. I hope to meet pets with great personalities and continue to help these pets by taking them on walks or playing with them.

About: Dog mom to a small terrier mix and a large shepherd mix. Growing up, my mom worked in an animal shelter. I spent summers volunteering with dog walking and fostering. I’m available for boarding on weekends, as I’m out of the home during the standard 8 hour work day on weekdays. I am available for dog walks anytime on weekends, and before/after work on weekdays. I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. Both of my dogs are playful and are comfortable with other dogs of all sizes.

“Paige is a life saver! She went above and beyond to make sure that our large and strong dog got three long walks a day for 19 days straight. We needed to change our booking numerous times and Paige was incredibly flexible, patient and kind through it all. She is extremely dependable, positive, responsive, and competent. Our dog is much calmer and happier thanks to her and so are we! We are so grateful to have found her and so thankful for her exceptional care.”

“Chris is great! She's gentle, responsible, and punctual. Our dogs are large and strong and sometimes reactive, so they aren't the easiest dogs to walk, and Chris' maturity and experience made me feel that they were in good hands.”

About: As an experienced and compassionate pet sitter, I offer more than just basic care.

My experience includes helping with puppy training, reinforcing good habits, and ensuring older pets get the comfort and care they need, such as special diets, medications, or assistance with mobility. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet's specific needs. I’m dedicated to making every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also ensure regular updates to keep pet parents informed and reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. From daily walks and playtime to specialized care for pets with health considerations, I am committed to making sure your pet has a positive, nurturing experience Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet throughout the day. Whether it’s giving frequent potty breaks, taking leisurely walks, or having playtime in the backyard, I can easily incorporate pet care into my day. My flexible work hours mean that I can adjust to your pet’s needs, whether they require extra supervision, meals at specific times, or regular check-ins. It also means that I am home most of the time, so your pet will always have companionship and care. In your home, I ensure your pet feels safe and secure in their familiar surroundings. I’m attentive to their daily needs, such as feeding schedules, walks, and any special care instructions, and I treat your home with respect and care. I also make sure to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away, knowing your pet is in great hands.

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.
