“I always feel so comfortable leaving my kitties in Zoey & Madison's care when I leave town. I get the cutest updates, they're very timely, and they were even able to give my cat his medication very easily (which can be a challenge for me). Definitely recommend these ladies!”


“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!”


“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!”


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.

“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”


“I hired Tara relatively last minute, yet she made time to come over prior to the job to meet my elderly dog and cranky cat. She was completely comfortable with their care, including medication for our dog. Her check ins were timely and through. We will definitely hire her again!”


About: I provide personalized care, focusing on your pet's specific needs. I guarantee they will receive plenty of exercise and affection from me. Let me know what is best for you and your pet! As a student studying for her CPA, I incorporate pet care into my routine by scheduling walks for study breaks. I love taking dogs for walks in my free time. I enjoy providing pets with exercise and affection. By monitoring their health and communicating regularly with pet owners, I guarantee that their pets are safe.

About: I have been working and taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, snuggle, and even help train their pups. I'm taking a break from my studies so I have lots of time to play and hangout with your pet! I am available on weekdays and weekends. I offer dog walking, house sitting, and drop-ins. For each, it is up to you on what you would prefer I do with your pup. I am familiar with crating dogs, bathing, and leash training. I am an avid walker, so if your pup loves a good walk- I’m your gal! Let's work together to create the best plan for your pup!!

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.

About: Let me meet your pup! I’m a huge human and pet lover. I help people by day working as a CT Tech in healthcare. Now I am looking to help animals in the evenings. Fun fact: I am currently on a weight loss journey and have been doing daily walks and I would love for someone else’s pup to join me! I am a very responsible and educated dog owner. My family dog, Baylor, is diabetic and requires lots of special care so I have learned a lot! :) I am currently a full time CT Technologist working Monday-Friday 7:30a-4p. However, I am home by 4:30pm every day. I am free in the evenings and all day on Saturday and Sunday. I recently moved here and do not have any pets of my own, but someday I will have lots of pets. For now, I would love to meet and care for someone else’s pets and make some extra money to save up for a house. :) I have a mostly fenced in yard - the only part not fenced in is the driveway itself, however, I plan to never have someone else’s dog outside without a leash on. I am a big worrier and anything can happen in a blink of an eye. In my home, pets can roam wherever and can go on furniture as they please. I treat others pets as I would want mine treated.


“Cooper loves Chris! She knows that I love to play catch with my hedge hogs and pays attention to my needs when she takes me out. Chris genuinely cares about her four legged friends and I intend to have her check in on Cooper whenever we'll be out for the entire day.”


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 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: 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: 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.

Julia takes really good care of the dogs and stays with them while we are gone. She is in charge of walking, feeding and taking care of them while we are gone.

Thalia L.
“Thalia Leon Rodriguez is very caring and responsible with animals and brings a lifetime of experience caring for and nursing pets. She is respectful, reliable, and excels particularly with special needs animals. She meets them where they are at, with close attention. As her aunt, I have personally seen her care for a diabetic foster cat and an elderly dog with a heart condition. The cat required daily shots and specific dietary requirements; the cat was prone to stress and had several health crises. Thalia became very in tune with his health indicators and responded swiftly when he became ill. Since childhood she has rescued dozens of animals, primarily homeless cats, back to health. She is keenly interested in biology and veterinary medicine so her respect for and interest in animals extends beyond domestic pets. I have had several dogs with health complications and would trust her with any of them in a heart beat. Your furry loved ones are in excellent hands with Thalia.”

Her love for animals is obvious to anyone who knows her. Not only does she love her own dog and cat, she loves all animals as her own. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Kylie looking after their furry family members.”
