About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was young and continue to care for my senior cat whom I’ve had for the last 12 years. I have experience walking dogs ranging from small to large sizes, and live near a forest preserve trail that would be perfect for their walks! Friends and neighbors have also relied on me to do drop-in feedings as well. I work full-time, 4 days a week, evening shift. So I am available most mornings and have a pretty flexible 3-day weekend schedule. I live in a building complex that has a fenced in little dog park for your pup to run around in. I’m also near a forest preserve trail if they prefer longer walks to explore nature. Cats will have a safe, quiet space to stay with a large window to sun bathe in the mornings and cozy blankets to snuggle in.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three Yorkies, so I know small breeds and their big personalities well. As an adult, I had a German Shepherd and Lab mix who was my loyal companion for 12 wonderful years. Since he passed, I've regularly cared for friends' dogs, and they trust me because I treat every pet like my own. Right now I care for a 3-year-old Goldendoodle, a 7-year-old Yorkie, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu, and a 3-year-old Schnauzer. That gives me daily experience with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and ages, from playful young dogs to calmer seniors. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, grooming needs, and giving each dog the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. I love taking dogs on three walks a day, and honestly it keeps me active too. I live right across the street from a large park in Morton Grove, so there's plenty of green space for sniffing, exploring, and burning off energy. I also have two kids who adore dogs, so your pup will get lots of love, playtime, and attention from the whole family. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I work from home. Each morning and afternoon I walk my kids to and from school, and your dog is welcome to join us for those walks. After 3:30, my kids are home and love spending time playing with and giving attention to the dogs. On weekends, your pup gets extra walks, playtime, and cuddles with the whole family. I live in a single-family home with a yard, giving your dog a safe, comfortable place to play, relax, and get fresh air between walks. Since I work from home, I’m around most of the day to keep a close eye on them. When I do need to head out for work, dogs who are comfortable with car rides are welcome to come along with me. Otherwise, your dog can stay in our bright, cozy sunroom, where they’ll have their own calm, secure space until I’m back. I follow your dog’s usual routine for meals, walks, and bedtime so they feel right at home.

About: My genuine love for dogs, patience, and dependability. I treat dogs like family, make sure they feel safe, happy and loved! I love playing with dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals, providing walks, feeding, playtime, and affection. I’m dependable and flexible, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide loving, reliable care by following each pet’s routines for feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles. In a clients home I respect their space and follow all instructions to keep pets safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for like family.

About: I got my first dog in May of 2024 and he has changed my life. There were qualities that I know I had, but to get to see them in action made me really proud of myself. I’m really patient and that was definitely tested when he was a puppy, but I made it through and I’d 100% do it again and again. Same goes with senior dogs, I know they need a bit more attention and I’m here to give that. We have a really calm environment and a lot of windows so when their not outside they can still see what’s going on. I believe I have everything to take care of a dog, but each dogs needs are different and I want to learn them. I’m currently only working part-time, about 15 hours a week, so I have plenty of free time to spend with them, play, sit outside, walk, etc. My own doggy pretty much just does everything with me, so I’d treat them the same. I have a fenced yard and also a tie-out rope for extra security if needed. I have a large crate that my dog sleeps in some nights, but he also sleeps in my room, so the crate is available if needed. I have three floors for them to run up and down, and a tie-out on the porch so they can sit by me while I read or roam the front yard.

“Tamara kept me updated during each of her visits. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for dogs and animals of all sorts. Growing up in the Philippines, my relatives found it strange to have such compassion for animals. I'd always begged my parents for a dog while doing avid research and volunteering at pet-related jobs to prepare myself if my dream was to come true. When I was 17, my parents finally agreed to get a dog-- but not just any dog. I wanted my dream dog: an Alaskan Malamute. Huge, stubborn, and a daily shedder, it was a huge challenge I took on myself. However, this Malamute was well trained, house-broken, and friendly. I believe I can take care of a dog of any size, temperament, or history. I am a graduate from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology/Sociology. I volunteered at the Chicago Canine Rescue downtown where we play and walk with shelter dogs. I have copious experience with boarding, walking, and overall loving dogs. As a past dog boarder, I understand the care and attention that must be given to a pup to create a trusting bond with them. For more pictures of our past clients and to get a better idea how I interact with your pup, check out this instagram: powerpuffdogs May have to step out a few times a day, or if I have an outing I would make sure your pup has had plenty of exercise and pets before leaving. I adhere as closely as possible to the pet’s existing schedule— routine is key! Other than that, if you are comfortable with it, I can take your dog on forest walks, dog parks (only if you’d like, and with ample supervision), or on play dates with my own well-socialized dogs!

About: I love dogs. I am the go to person to take care of my friends and family's dogs when they are out of town.

I am able to do my work and still have time to take care of my own dog and family at home I have 2 year old lab mix to keep your furry friend(s) company. I have a 5 bedroom house, including a full finished basement, and a gated yard so there's plenty of room for the dogs to hang out

“Susan is amazing!! Our two cats were in excellent care while we were away and we are so thankful to Susan for giving us that peace of mind! We got the best daily reports and pictures on how they were doing which we looked forward to every day that we were away. One of our cats is particularly shy and even he grew very comfortable around Susan very quickly, we were so impressed! We will definitely be reaching out for pet sitting care again. Thank you so much for your excellent care of our little guys!!”

About: I have been pet-sitting for 7 years; caring for animals is my passion! My style of sitting is treating every pet as if they’re my own😊🐾 I am currently working a part time job, so I may have certain windows of availability—but I am more than happy to work with you on times :) In my clients home, I will follow all rules and guidelines relating not only to their pet, but also to respecting their space as well.

“Erica was exceptional with her communication prior and during our trip. Her visits were timely and she provided great updates. It’s clear to see why she has so many repeat bookings. She was great at administering meds to one of our kittens.”

About: I live in Edison Park, but work in McCook/Chicago during the day/week or sometimes from home. I manage my time really well, so I can make anything early in the morning,/on my lunch break work- plus weekends or after work. I have always had dogs my entire life. I grew up with a chocolate lab mix, then when she passed away my family got a three legged black lab and a chesapeake bay retriever. Then, when I was in college, a chocolate lab climbed into my car and after months of trying to find his owners, I decided to keep him. Those puppies have since passed, but our family has 2 giant black labs currently. I’ve also had 4 Guinea Pigs who I loved dearly. I currently work from home part of the time and love four legged angels (sometimes 3, I had a 3 legged dog growing up). I am available in the early mornings, evenings and on the weekends consistently, but can work out weekday daytime availability with advanced notice. I make sure the animals all have the appropriate food/water setups at all times (per owners instructions depending on pet’s specific needs), as well as making sure the temperature is comfortable for the pet. I prioritize exercise and bathroom breaks for each pet. There is never a lack of social interaction when I am around. Pretty much, I view pets as family and think they deserve the best. If they have specific requirements, I will always follow whatever rules the owner requests and talk through any concerns before booking.

“Stephen and Donna did an excellent job walking our Great Pyrenees mix several times over a few weeks. You could feel their love for dogs from the moment we met them and they were very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Our boy enjoyed and looked forward to his walks with them and we would definitely recommend and use their services in the future.”

About: I had dogs growing up and my own dog in my 20's/30's in downtown chicago. Crate trained early in my dog's life. Now, I have two loving tweens who want a dog more than anything & will do walks or anything needed. Completely fenced in backyard. Very walkable suburban blocks. Will happily comply with whatever "treats" parameters you wish, food schedule needed. We only offer Rover availability when we have the days to devote to your dog. We are home-bodies at heart. Looking for a dog to be the center of our world for the few days we can offer. Your dog will be a member of our family. Easy to get out to our backyard with our sliding door off family room. We will feed your dog in our kitchen when instructed. Your dog could sleep with 1 of us in bed unless you prefer and dog prefers to be in their own dog bed/crate etc. You let us know where you'd want him/her to be.

About: I have had cats, dogs, and fish for the past 15 years. I have boarded, walked, and sat many animals including the ones listed above. I have also done feedings and administering medications. I always like to get detailed notes and a walk through of the care you need so the pets are well taken care of throughout my time with them. I am currently open to any times and days. I am in school and am doing it completely online and asynchronous. I can work with you separately to figure out the best schedule. I am always wanting a walk through and detailed sheet of paper describing schedules and everything I need to know. I will also send frequent updates including pictures. I have administered medications before and ask to be shown how to administer so they don’t miss a day.

“Best sitter ever! My dogs literally leave my side when she comes over.”
