“Simba ( American bully mix) and Kekas ( yorkie) had their first walk with Natalie a week ago and it went really good. Her experience with dogs is notable. I have a large and small breed dogs and she handled them very well. Simba is a 60 pounds puppy and I am super impressed how she handled his excitement and reinforce his training. Looking forward to many walks and drop ins. Thanks Natalie 😊💜”

About: I’ve been caring for, training, and owning dogs nearly my whole life starting from childhood to now fostering/watching for friends and family. I’ve also had experience working professionally as a pet sitter. Whether your pup is large or small I’ll care for them as if they were my own and bring all the playful energy as a young adult to provide a fun experience during my time with them. I currently work remotely and have increased flexibility for scheduling needs. Although I will need to primarily be at home during my working hours I am able to ensure your pets are taken care of in a timely fashion without being left for too long without potty breaks. Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.

“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”

“Hannah is absolutely amazing! :) We have been working with working with Hannah since Dec, 2022. She is very dependable, communicates any issues immediately and most importantly our dog Bentley loves Hannah. Thank you Hannah we couldn't be more satisfied with your services.”

About: I’m known to host pups while my friends are out for the evening or for the weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be lounging or going for a walk! I’m currently working from home and love having a furry companion during my daily walks. I love cuddling up with a dog and watching reality tv on weeknights. The community I live in has a dog park and trails nearby to provide pups with plenty of movement, sunlight, and quality time in and outside the home.
“Brian did an outstanding job taking care of our “family member” Gage. He was able to follow all the directions (believe me they are pretty complicated) we had provided and did not miss a beat. Great communication as well. Will definitely use Brian again.”

About: Individual approach - I take into account the needs of each pet, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Responsible and attentive to details - I carefully monitor the diet, walks and general condition of the pet. Love and care - sincere love and care for animals makes my care heartfelt and warm. I work from home. My flexible work schedule allows me to schedule walks and feedings at a convenient time. Pets can feel safe and receive attention when they need it. Animals are not left alone for long periods of time and do not experience anxiety or stress. I have a fenced yard - this makes caring for your pets easier and more comfortable, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them to enjoy active recreation
About: As a dedicated pet sitter with years of hands-on experience, I offer a unique combination of reliability, compassion, and personalized care. I've been the proud owner of a Shih Tzu Bichon since 2018 and have cared for two cats since 2015, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats. Whether it’s managing special diet or maintaining a familiar routine to ensure your pets feel safe and loved, I treat each pet as if they were my own. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each pet's personality and preferences, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away. Your pets' well-being is my priority, and I strive to provide the highest level of care, whether it's cuddling during quiet moments, engaging in playtime, or taking them for walks. With me, your pets are in trusted, loving hands. I have mostly online classes this semester and I only have to be in person for about an hour on Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30, so the rest of my days can consist of all type of pet loving Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for your pets. In your home, I respect your pet's territory and routines, and I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure they remain comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure to lock all doors and windows, monitor your pet closely during walks or playtime, and take extra care when administering medications or handling special needs. Communication is key, and I’ll send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy in my care. Above all, I build trust with both pets and owners, ensuring peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.
About: I’ve taken care of an age range from puppy to senior. Raised my own dog from newborn to a year old in a fostering situation. But have also walked neighbors dogs as well. I’m currently a sophomore in college taking courses over summer time. So with this different format of work I’ll be able to help out and also focus on school. For drop-ins, I am comfortable with fenced & unfenced with leash. I am comfortable with playing, feeding, administering oral/ear medicine if needed, and taking for walks.
About: It all started when I was 5 and my sister and I convinced our animal loving parents to add to our family, we got a golden retriever puppy and a kitten in the same year. I have never lived a day without a pet in 35 years! I have open availability. I have 2 smaller dogs and a parrot. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for walking furry friends. Ricky and Lucy (cavapoos) love a good slumber party :) I do not have a fenced in yard. My pups know the perimeters. I do take leashed potty breaks and walks with pup visitors. I am familiar with "runners" and an capable of making sure that doesn't happen!
About: I have been walking dogs for almost a decade making sure they get energy out with plenty of sniffs along the way. I have experience with all age ranges from puppy to elderly. I have trained my own dog as a puppy for potty and feeding times. We also have many other pets that I care for as well; cockatiel, turtle, fish tanks. I am an upbeat person with lots of energy to take your dog out and about. I do not go to dog parks. I am the primary care taker so I have a very flexible schedule. I prefer school hours but will work with clients on individual basis of needs. We have a large yard, our own dog, a crate and a bed available. Animals also have enough space for separation if needed. Must be kid friendly.
About: I have had pets my whole life and believe they're an intrical part of the family. I'm currently fostering an adult pitty whom I love very much. I want your pet safe and your mind at ease while you're away from them. I love ALL animals and take care of water, food, play, love, mail, trash and anything else you may need. As a pet owner it's important to make their care a priority in my life. Lots of ball is played and many walks. As long as they're safe and happy. We live on the Fox River and our dogs love to swim, play and fish with me. Their happiness is also mine. Whatever it takes.
