“Jason did a great job watching our German shepherd and our Lab He came out to meet them before and stayed 2 days and nights. Jason is reliable and a great sitter we will definitely use him again”


About: I’ve always been very passionate in animals. I have taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. I started my own dog treat business when I was 13 year old. I am currently a student at Joliet Junior college. I am looking for a part time job. I will be available during the day and overnight. I have no pets. I currently live with my parents. My mom is allergic to animals so I will not be able to take them to my home.

“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! She actually spent time hanging out with my dogs when house sitting. Jennifer even came back over to check on dogs when flight got in late. I will use her again! Thank you!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and know how they should be treated and I don't scare easy no matter the size of the dog they will be loved liked my own. I do have a full time job that is 9-5 but work mostly from home and can be flexible on the times i come visit I will follow all the rules and ensure your pet is safe within your home and care for them as they are my own pet

“Kelly was great with our dogs! She sent enough updates & pictures so I wasn’t left wondering how they were doing. The house was spotless when we got home & she brought our mail in as well. We will definitely book Kelly again!”


“Omg!! What an absolutely beautiful day! I got photos collages!!! COLLAGES!! Videos... i am so impressed right now. My dog were calm, smiling, having a great time outside and indoors, and i was gone all day with ZERO anxiety over it. They loved my sitter from the moment she came in for our greet. Communication was too notch and i was excited to not only know but vividly see my babies were fine and in great hands. I will be more than happy to use her services again and again.”


“Michelle is wonderful! Initially I hired her to stay in my house a few days with my 16.5 yr old dog, but unfortunately he passed away before the trip. Michelle helped change our agreement, and she looked in on our cat and house instead. Great communication and I knew my cat and house was in great hands!”


“Katherine made herself available at the last minute to watch our home and care for our Moose and did such a great job. We got tons of photo updates and she was very communicative. Moose actually spent the morning after our return looking around the house for Katherine as she misses her already!”


“I was very pleased with our sitter Katelyn. I received a good handful of cute photos. Updates on their potty time and eating. Both of my pitbull's took to her and we're laying down on the couch next to her within minutes. The best part of this, was that both of my dogs ate their dinner when it was prepared for them with us being gone so long during the day. My eldest dog has a pretty good dose of separation anxiety. It does not look like he felt any anxiety at all, and I could not be more pleased. And the youngest pitbull was happy to have somebody to play with, which she began doing almost immediately. Very, very happy!!”


“I cannot say enough great things about Kamile! She did such an amazing job with our dog. She took time to get to know him and made sure to communicate any questions. She was polite and kind- she left our house in immaculate condition when she left. We were such at ease during our trip as she made sure to Give us updates and pictures! Our dog loved her and we cannot wait to use her services again.”


“Great job. We were in a hurry when we left and Alecia had to come in with only written instructions having never met the dogs. She handled it like a champ and the dogs were well taken care of. I also came home to a cleaner house than I left. Couldn't be happier!!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages and temperaments.

I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, so I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I’ve got it covered!

I’m available weekday evenings and most weekends, with flexible timing to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s evening check-ins, dinner feedings, weekend walks, or overnight stays—I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and the animal with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding routines and medication schedules to favorite toys and hiding spots—so your pet’s daily rhythm stays consistent. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before and after every visit, and I always check for any potential hazards like spilled food, open trash, or small items that could be chewed.

About: Hi my name is Savanna and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. With years of experience walking, playing with and feeding both dogs and cats, I truly understand what it takes to provide pets with love and attention they deserve. Having lived with dogs and cats for many years, I’m reliable, honest, trustworthy, and always punctual when it comes to their care. I currently live in Mokena with my own beloved dog, and I’m happy to assist nearby areas, including Tinley Park, Frankfort, New Lenox, Orland Park, Lockport, Homer Glen, and Manhattan, IL. I work full time, but my schedule varies, so I’m looking for someone who values flexibility just as much as I do. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding or companionship, I’m dedicated to ensuring pets feel happy and care for. If you’re looking for a dependable, kind and experienced pet caregiver, I’d love to help! My work schedule varies, but I’m looking for something flexible in the areas of Tinley Park, Frankfort, New Lenox, Orland Park, Lockport, Homer Glen and Manhattan, IL. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter, I’d love to help! Providing care for pets whether in my own home or at a clients house- requires a combination of attentiveness, patience, and a deep understanding of animals needs. Here’s how I can ensure pets receive excellent care in either setting. Understand their routine, respect their space, provide quality care, keep the home clean, monitor their health and behavior, build trust and comfort, and always stay in communication!

“Lauren was great with our high anxiety dog, Bo! She stayed at our house with Bo, and she did a great job taking care of our house, watering our plants, etc. too. She communicated with us daily and kept our worries at bay. Her love for dogs was evident from the first time she met us and Bo. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”


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.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a dog that needs to take medication daily and a cat with Kidney disease. So I am very comfortable around pets that need extra support. I really love animals and older people one just have more to love! I’m currently working full time, but I work second shift 11-8:00pm and I will get random weekdays off. Other then that I’m not really doing much, this give me a lot of free time. I would love to spend that time with your baby! I’m free almost every morning. So if you need someone to give your pet there morning meds, because your on vacation and the neighbors are not comfortable with it, call me! I have given both cats and dog pills and i understand how to safely give both pills without to much discomfort for them. I have had to do it for both of my pets with chronic conditions. I understand that older animals need more attention and I am willing to give them that.

About: Hello, I have 8 years of experience being a pet owner. I love dogs and cats and will take care of yours like they are my own. I am a stay at home mom, so I have a pretty open schedule. I can do drop ins for your cat or dog. Each visit is typically 30 minutes, but you can choose an hour if needed. I will let your dog out, play with them and feed them if needed. For cats I will clean the litter, feed them and play if they are up for it 😉 I can also walk your dog as well. Let me know if you have any special instructions. I look forward to meeting you and your dog or cat. Thank you for considering me to care for your family member. My schedule is pretty open. I'm available most days and times. Let me know what you need and I'd be glad to help. Thank you. I will ensure that your pets are well taken care of in your home. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I would be glad to bring in mail or water plants if you are away.

About: Apart from pet sitting, I understand the importance of caring for other health needs such as well being and confidence. My dog requires extensive care for her skin allergies, food allergies, and neurological disorders, so I am fully accustomed to the maintenance that comes with caring for any pets needs! Since I have grown up having several dogs at once in my home, I have extensive training experience including dogs of all ages. Along with caring for my own pets, I have also spent many years caring for other pets within my neighborhood when their owner takes vacations. I’m currently working part-time as well as attending college full time, but I will have plenty of time in the early mornings/afternoons to walk your pet and meet all their required needs! Since my class schedule will be constantly changing, my availability will be constantly changing as well. As of right now my availability is: Mondays: 6am-11am Wednesdays: 6am-11am Fridays- 8am-1pm My schedule is expected to change and my availability will become more open starting December 15. In my home I give my dog Stella apoquel daily to help with her itching and skin allergies. She also gets pumpkin purée, oats, and hypoallergenic wet food to improve her digestion. She also has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which requires me to watch and ideally prevent tick attacks or other triggers that deplete her physical and mental well being. My dog Sophie has two legs that were injured when she was a puppy which prevents her from high activity such as jumping or running. As her owner I try to prevent her from getting into taller cars, and limit her playtime outdoors. My other dog Shiloh is still a puppy, so she is currently in her training period. We practice daily training and other mind exercises to keep her on track. Most of all having all three dogs together is important. They are all inseparable (and spoiled) sisters that require a little more love than the average pup!
