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.

“Jen did a wonderful job with our new puppy! She sent many pictures and updates daily. Very attentive to puppy and to the home. We would definitely recommend her to our friends!”


“Ashley is so sweet! She took great care of my Blue. Blue can be a handful but she handled her just fine! I appreciate her keeping me posted on a regular basis and I would definitely recommend her! Thank you so much for everything! 🥰🥰”


“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!!”


“Rob watched our two pets on a long weekend and was great. We love a lot of communication - and he kept us posted and sent us many pictures. Very professional and our pets loved him. We would definitely recommend!”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was born! I love dogs and would do anything for the pets that I am in charge for. I am working full time right now from home! I never have to leave the house for work which is really great and can spend more time with the dogs I will spend as much time with your dog/dogs as I can! I will come over and play with your dogs in and outside or I will take them to the park.

“Bailey is a wonderful dog sitter. She listened to all my pups needs and was extremely accommodating to make the overnight stay stress free for my pup, and for me:) She communicated quickly and often, sent pictures and updates while we were gone, which again made my time away much more relaxing. I highly recommend Bailey and will be using her again in the future!!”


“Emalee was quick to respond, from beginning inquiry to the end of the service. She was sweet and pleasant and easy to deal with. She did everything she agreed to do and even popped in again for us when our trip back got delayed. Our pup loved her and there wasn't a mess to clean when we got back and our pup was happy and well taken care of upon our return. Would use again and would recommend 100%! <3”


About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals growing up from horses to cat and dogs. I’m very confident in walking any dog any size, since in my school we’ve learned to adjust and adapt on animals behavior. I also can do any grooming needed (nails, brush teeth, bathe) if you can’t or too wary. I’ve also have well experience in cats. Ive owned cats since I was 15 so if needed I can also do any grooming needs as well. With senior dogs I know they may be more work than a normal dog but I’m up to the task without a second thought! I’ve had much experience with senior dogs. I understand that having animal comes with time management and that’s where I can help! I am current in vet tech school so I have the weekends available and Friday after 4:30pm. I am also willing to go after school mon-Friday after 4:30pm. For the animals in my house they get treated just like a member of the family! I make sure my cat and dog are always content, I take my dog out on daily walks and ensure my cat gets his daily play time. For the animals of your home they will be treated just the same.

About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.

“Being a first time dog owner and needing someone to watch Taylor was a bit nerve wrecking for me but I was easily calmed when we met ahead of time and saw how much Taylor enjoyed you. Thank you for caring for her like she was your own. I have no doubt we’ll be seeing you again in our future needs. Thank you!”



About: I've been taking care of animals for a long time now, I've taken care of horses, cat, reptiles, and dogs of course. I like to bring a positive energy with me to keep pets of all kinds happy There is always time for me to sit a pet, I can go night sits, and early morning. I dont have a car but I make it around by Lyft, I always show up early to get a better understanding of the animals im watching I make sure they are well fed, consistent potty breaks, and will make sure they are safe at all costs. Animals are my number one priority

About: I was once a groomer and I have experiences with many type of dogs. I took care of newborn puppies many times as my parents breed the dogs at times I walk my dog constantly as I love and enjoy going on walks and I take care of dogs as a Kennel attendant at a vet I play with dogs and enjoy them. I love having them enjoy themselves and letting them take their time to know me and not forcing them to get used to me

About: I've had rescue dogs my whole life and understand the patience, love, and consistency they need to thrive. I’m the proud dog parent of a 3-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Beagle/Pit mix—both super friendly and always up for a game of tug-of-war! Over the years, I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and helped my dogs work through separation anxiety. My hands-on experience gives me a calm, confident approach with all breeds and personalities. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I create my own work schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, flexible time to pet care every day. I structure my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and training with my two dogs. This flexibility makes it easy to welcome another dog into our routine—whether for a walk, drop-in, daycare, or boarding. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play alongside my two friendly, playful dogs. There are plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always follow your daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I believe in clear communication, so I love sending picture updates to keep you connected and reassured while your pup is in my care.

Delaney R.
“Delaney watched our 12 year old border collie for a week while we were out of town. While it's never easy to leave your pet, upon meeting Delaney I was confident of my choice in a caretaker; she instantly bonded with our dog. Delaney was always prompt on our agreed schedule and communicated if/ when there was a question. She attended to his needs daily as he is energetic and requires playing and walking. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again.”

Samantha E.
“Samantha is an amazing animal caregiver. Her and my Pittie Suede were the best of friends before he passed. She was very gentle and patient with him. He was fifteen, she would bathe him and clip his nails and take him on short walks that he could handle throughout the day. She even helped me look into better animal healthcare providers. She’s an amazing person as well as a pets best friend. If I get another dog I’m booking with her hands down.”


Victoria A.
“Tori is an amazing person. I have known her personally for many years but she started taking care of my fur babies about two years ago. They love her. I have a very skittish dog that will not warm up to anyone and Tori can get him to go outside for her, snuggle with her, etc. She is very loving, LOVES animals and will make sure your babies are taken care of. I know my animals can cause messes (I have 4 of them) and I always come back to my house clean and no sign of any messes (which I know she is covering for them). :) I would highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She will take care of them as if they are her own.”

“Alyssa is amazing with dogs. Both of her rescues had really bad separation anxiety at first, but now they’re crate trained and totally relaxed when we leave the house. She’s super patient, consistent, and really understands how to make dogs feel safe and loved.”
