About: Hello!My name is Yiran and I come from China,I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them is something that brings me real joy. I have about 3 years of experience dog sitting and walking, and over 5 years of experience with cats. When I was 16,I used to sit my aunt's dog all the time. I grew up with a British Golden Retriever, and when I turned 18, I got a Ragdoll cat who quickly became my best friend. I also have a lot of hands-on experience with small animals—I’ve cared for over 20 hamsters and 4 guinea pigs over the years. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. (I'm also planning on getting a bunny!!) I currently have a 10-8pm full time job. I am always off on Tuesdays and Saturdays(full day care) And I'll be free sometimes even 6pm during normal work days. When I first got my baby Ragdoll,I flew to LA to the breeder's house,she took me in and gave me a huge handbook:about how to care for my baby cat,what food is good,what medicine to buy if she's sick,her daily routine,how to communicate with her...And I bought ticket,brought her on airplane with me flew back home. When it comes to my love for animals,I Will put as much effort as I can! I know the basic routine and difference for cats and dogs,i know what food they shouldn't be eating,how to train them and how to calm them down if they are stressed.


“Arianna did an amazing job with my dog Nala! She was never late going to walk her, which was great because then Nala wasn’t alone for any extended periods of time. I could tell in every picture update I got that Nala fell in LOVE with Arianna! Which was so reassuring because I knew my baby was being taken great care of. Thank you Arianna!”


About: I have taken care of a senior dog for about 5 years now. I have taken care of my lil pup for 4 years. I am currently certified in pet CPR and First aid(certification in photos). I live a active lifestyle and like to hike and take long walks. It is a constant in my life to take care of pets. I care for my own 4 year old Chihuahua/Yorkie mix and my brothers shih Tzu daily. I am available on weekdays after 5pm and all day on the weekends. In my clients homes I can readily walk there pets or let them out into there back yards. I can also crate your pet if that is something you prefer. If you leave feeding or medication instructions do not worry it will be completed and you will be notified.

“Danielle has taken care of our 2 cats and dog for two years every time we leave town. She’s always willing to go above and beyond and water your plants or grab your mail. She sends detailed updates daily/throughout the day, is always so attentive and lets us know if she notices anything abnormal with the animals at all. She’s extremely flexible and works her schedule (even holidays) around taking care of them. Our animals have all come to love her. We couldn’t recommend her more! We’re about to move and will miss having her to take care of our fur babies.”

“Dorothy did a great job with my senior cat. My cat was in a good mood upon my return which is not always the case when I've been away. We're moving soon but if we weren't I wouldn't hesitate to hire Dorothy again.”


“Julia did an amazing job with our jovi she is very shy dog and doesn't take well to people that are unfamiliar. Julia took her time and won her over and she was happy. Julia took extra care and did a great job!!!”


About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have walked dogs for pretty much everyone in my family. Big dogs are my favorite! I have a pit/lab mix and a Maltese at home! My baby Maltese is old but I still love him. I am a big guy so I can handle your big dogs! I am a full time teacher, but dogs are a big part of my life. I get out of work at 4 pm so anytime after that can be dedicated to walking/caring for your baby! I am going to start with just weekends, but I will be looking to open my calendar more as I get used to it. If you urgently need a weekday, just let me know! We can make it happen. I have a large fenced backyard, and two loving fur babies myself. I keep them crated for the most part, especially to not overwhelm any new friends!

About: Hi, I’m James! I’ve spent the past several years working in customer service and hospitality, most recently as a flight attendant—so I know a thing or two about responsibility, attention to detail, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m also a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or simply keeping your furry friend company while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that trust seriously. I’m punctual, respectful of your home and routines, and I always aim to provide reliable and compassionate care. Let me help give you peace of mind when you can’t be there—your pet will be in caring, capable hands! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize their well-being. With my background in hospitality and flight attending, I’m used to managing structured schedules while staying adaptable. Now that I have more flexibility in my day-to-day life, I’m able to dedicate time each day for drop-ins, feedings, play sessions, and walks. I build my routine around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Caring for pets is not just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and plan my day around. In a client’s home, I always make it a priority to follow their specific instructions and routines to ensure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and organized while giving pets the love and attention they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, administering medication, or just giving cuddles and companionship, I take my time to make sure everything is done right—and that your pet feels safe and cared for.

About: * In our care, your dogs are our family * Hi! I have been caring for, fostering, boarding and walking dogs for nearly 20 years! For the past 7 years, I have fostered dogs through Chicago Canine Rescue, One Tail at a Time, and German Shepherd Rescue of Illinois, where I have helped provide a safe and loving environment, basic training, exercise and socialization for dogs until they are ready for their forever homes. ***We have experience with handicapped dogs (having had two of our own), and we are happy to take care of your handicapped dog at no extra cost (including stroke/FCE, IVDD, paralysis, bladder and bowel expression, carrying around stairs or gravel to prevent skin injuries, harnesses/slings, wheelchairs, you name it).*** While I work as an emergency nurse, I am passionate about dogs and other animals, and I keep trying to find ways to enjoy my passion without completely changing my profession. My husband Steve is a manager at Trader Joe’s, and yes, he does bring the bizarre contentment that Trader Joe’s employees have home :) My husband Steve and I are huge animal lovers- we are chronically adding pets to our home in the form of adoption, fostering, or babysitting! We live in a 2000 sqft home in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced yard for your babies to stretch their legs, run, play, or relax. We have 4 stairs leading into the home, and a ramp if needed, but we can also help lift your dog up and down the stairs if that’s what they need. We have a sweet as can be, handicapped 6.5 year old German Shepherd named Lemmy and two friendly, dog savvy cats named Karma and Ozzy. **We ask that your dog is dog friendly, but your dog does not need to be cat friendly- we just have to know about it, and we can easily separate our cats comfortably** Steve and I work opposite hours and coordinate schedules well, so the dogs don't get lonely! We also have a pet camera to see how the dogs are doing if we are away. Feel free to ask us to connect with any past clients we have had on and off Rover- we have had exceptional experiences and reviews, and we can’t wait for your dog to join us! We are incredibly fortunate that our schedules are super flexible!! Every week is different for me on a nursing schedule, and Steve works a set “waterfall schedule” with the same days off weekly. Our pets and your pets will be spoiled with care, but they need to be ok to be left alone for about 4 hours, 6 max. If they are not ok with this, we just need to know about it so we can flex our schedules to accommodate. We have a spacious and secure home with a basement and two floors and fully fenced yard in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Even with a fully secure, 6 foot tall fence, dog(s) will never ever be left in the yard without our supervision. Our 3 pets are well behaved and incredibly friendly and will gladly give your pet space or hang out!
