About: Hello! I'm Jozelin. I'm a super fun and caring individual and am always that person at any get together who is laying in the corner with the house pet and i'm not ashamed! I grew up around animals of all kinds (including four pitbulls at one time) and had parents who stressed the importance of taking care of our animals by feeding them, walking them, and giving them attention and love. I understand that some people with pets don't have as much time to be around them as they'd like (gotta get the paycheck to pay for more pet toys) and so i'm here to fill the important role of caretaker while you are away. I don't discriminate because of breed or size, i just love 'em all! I just moved to Chicago and won’t be starting a job for awhile. Even when I do though, I’ll be working part time and am willing to work with my job so I can still walk dogs. I don’t currently offer boarding but I do try to be a safe handler for dogs (and cats). I am all about making them feel safe and happy!
“Great communication, easy to work with, and my dog loves her!”
“Jay and Lisette have been so good with walking Bunni and Sharki for a whole week, they are not only consistently on time and always walk them a bit more time than allotted, but also take the time to wipe their paws especially when it’s nasty outside. Would absolutely recommend them to others!”
“Mary is THE BEST. Always helpful and Luna loves her. I was in a little bind with a last minute request - No Problem!”
“Kexin is so amazing with our big pup, Ace! She is reliable, trustworthy, and great with dogs! She always sends us plenty of updates and photos of their adventures, even when they happen to be in the rain!!”
About: What sets me apart? I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet’s personal playmate and snuggle expert! From teaching puppies their first tricks, I also have a gentle touch with senior pets, providing extra comfort , I make sure your fur babies feel special. Whether it's playtime, cuddle time, or just a stroll around the block, I tailor each visit to match their vibe and needs, ensuring they’re always happy and cared for. As a college student, I’ve learned how to manage my time efficiently, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexibility, offering tailored care to fit your pet’s schedule—whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Between classes, I make sure to provide consistent attention, ensuring each pet gets the exercise, training, and affection they need. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing extra comfort, I’m committed to giving your pets the love and care they deserve while balancing my academic responsibilities. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable space that’s pet-friendly and free of hazards. I ensure plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration while keeping things routine and familiar. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible, maintaining feeding schedules, walking routes, and playtimes. I also take extra care to respect the home environment, keeping things tidy and secure. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is always to create a stress-free, loving environment for your pets to feel safe and happy.
About: As an owner of two senior dogs I have learned that they need extra patience and care. I make sure the dogs are feeling comfortable and relaxed by taking the dogs outside as they need to use the bathroom and sun bath for a while. But I also like to give them plenty of time inside if they just want to rest and be pet or cuddled. It's important they get excersise too with some play time or a walk. Pet care goes smoothly with my schedule as a mom and a flea market vendor. My husband Julian does help out in every activity with our pawed guests too. We include a free walk for every day of the stay. Dogs will be taken out to the yard on demand or twice an hour for potty times. For all dogs we will provide two separate hours of play time during the day. If a dog has high energy we will play for about 10 minutes after every potty time. Some of the safety measures with my service include having a fenced back yard, being outside with the dogs until they are ready to go back inside, and having a calm and cozy environment for each individual dog or cat guest.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.
“This was my first time using this service, and Khia was polite and responsive throughout the entire process. She made me feel comfortable with leaving my puppy son with her, and I will be using her service again.”
“Carolina has been so patience with my obnoxious dog, I consider she’s great and goes an extra mile. 100% trustworthy, your furry friend will definitely be happy walking with Carolina!”

7. Vanessa A.
“We have a 9 year old poodle who has many issues like anxiety and she doesn't trust many humans. This year we had an emergency leave and needed a caregiver. After talking to a few people, we decided to leave our Destiny with Vanessa. After our returnand to our surprise we saw Destiny socializing with other dogs and very comfortable with Vanessa. There are many ways to choose a caregiver for our Destiny but seeing Destiny so happy with her new pack and Vanessa, is what sold me”

She invests time and money to give her the best dog food money can buy and frequently takes her on trips to the doggy park. Anyone's pet would be in good hands with Catalina as their pet caregiver. She would never take her eye off of them and give them all the cuddles and attention they need.”
