“I used Annie for a few walks with my 2.5yr old lab and she was amazing! She took her for nice walks and even hung out with her in the yard, as my dog loves to sunbathe. Winnie can be hesitant with new people, but you can tell from the pictures she sent that she loved having Annie here! Thanks so much and will definitely be using her again! Highly recommended!”
“Emily did an amazing job of taking care of my dog Thor on his mid-day walks. Even in the bitter cold, she took him to do his business and played with him back at the apartment since he hated the cold. She followed my instructions perfectly and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely rebook!”

About: Hi! Thanks for visiting our page! We’re Michelle and Christy, a wife duo, who both run this account and are here to take care of your pets so you can a stress free vacation/business trip/break! We have always talked about owning a farm and adopting every dog available but since we know that’s not possible right now, we figured we’d offer our services to take care of other pets. We know how hard it can be to find a pet sitter you can rely on and trust but we would like to be that for you. We treat our pups like family (because they are!) and your dogs will be no different. We don’t want you worrying when you’re on vacation or a business trip and will provide updates and photos as much as you’d like. We’ve taken care of dogs our entire life. We’ve had family pets and our own pets that we’ve walked, administered meds, fed, and cuddled. We currently work from home so we would always be home with the pets to hang out and take care of them. They could go out whenever they needed. At my home: have a fenced in yard and we have two pups that love to have fun running around and playing with other dogs. At your home: I work from home so I can be around all day to hang out and take care of your animals.

About: I have had animals in my house since I was a little kid. Our family currently has a Great Pyrenees, a Shih Tzu, and 3 cats. I've had experience caring for friend's animals while they were on vacation or whenever they needed a walk, food, or some extra love. I have taken dogs to the dog park, as well. I volunteer at an animal shelter in Tinley Park and work with their stray, small, and large dogs. I have taken out some of the shelter dogs for training exercises and behavioral observations. The most recent dog that I trained can sit and stay before I throw his toy. I, also, have worked with the puppies that come in and understand the extra attention needed for them. I will treat your animals with love and care.
