“Margaret was great and easy to work with. I made a last minute request and thankfully she was able to help. She made sure my dog had fresh clean water when she left and took great care of him!”

“Amanda is awesome with our dog Leyla! This was our first time using Rover and it could not have been a better match. She is nearby, flexible and takes the extra time and effort to ensure our puppy gets in some good, quality, fun exorcise for the day. She is very experienced with animals of all kinds and makes me feel confident that my pup is in good hands. Highly recommended!”

Veronica M.

He’s comfortable handling a @large boy.!” Communication and arrival times have been excellent.Bob’s willingness to work around my schedule has been appreciated!”

About: My experience with pets has been incredibly rewarding. I've taken care of various animals, each with its own personality and needs, which has helped me develop patience and empathy. I always strive to create a safe and loving environment, ensuring that pets feel happy and comfortable when their owners are away. I am available Monday through Sunday! I occasionally babysit, otherwise I am usually free to watch / walk / check up / take care of your pet(s)! When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I ensure that the space is secure and free from hazards, provide consistent and loving care, and maintain open communication with pet owners to build trust. This way, pets feel comfortable and well-cared for in any setting.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs in veterinary clinics, doggie daycares, and grooming salons. Dogs have always been one of my greatest passions. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're a goofy puppy, an energetic adventure buddy, a shy rescue, or a senior who prefers a slower pace. One of my favorite parts of this work is building trust with dogs and watching them become excited to see me. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. Whether your dog enjoys a structured walk, extra sniffing time, playtime, or simply companionship during the day, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs. When your dog is with me, they're not just another appointment on my schedule—they're a member of the family. My most recent job with dogs was at a daycare for several years. I supervised dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. This experience gave me extensive knowledge of canine body language, play styles, and behavior. I learned how to safely manage group interactions, recognize early signs of tension, and help dogs remain comfortable and successful in social environments. In my free time, you'll usually find me out walking with my own dogs, taking my kids to their activities, discovering new music, or learning about native plants and wildlife! My current schedule includes dog walking, volunteering at an animal shelter, and taking care of my two wonderful sons. Thursdays are a busy day with activities with them so those days are currently closed for my schedule. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and some Fridays are available to book. I am comfortable with whatever instructions you give me and what your preferences are whether it be letting them out in your yard, sitting down and hanging out with them, letting them sniff around, or taking them for a more structured walk.

About: I am a kennel technician at my local shelter and a current animal science student at the University of Illinois. I love all dogs and cats, especially those who need a little extra help! I’ve had great pet sitters for my past dog and would love to pass that on. I work part-time at the shelter currently. This is like my other part-time job. I am very flexible in my schedule and can most likely work around your schedule. I have two brothers in my home that also love animals. My dog also loves to have company. I do not have a fence, but I do have a large field and long tie-outs that I supervise the dogs on.

About: I have had all kinds of pets through out my life and have experience taking care of all animals. I have always had dogs or cats and have taken care of different breeds. From dogs around the neighborhood to my own. I have two pit bull mixes that I grew up with, and learned the reigns of taking care of a puppy. I also have had smaller dogs and love them just as much as the bigger dogs. I love animals and always stop someone walking down the street with a dog just to pet it. I am very responsible and take pride in caring for animals. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your furry ones while you are busy!

“I’ve been using Katie as our dog walker for the past few days, and I couldn’t be happier with the service she provides. She takes great care of both of my dogs, Cubby and Audrey, and always ensures they get a good walk and plenty of attention. Katie is reliable, punctual, and very personable. I love getting updates after each walk, complete with photos of my pups looking happy and well-exercised. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I trust her completely with my two fur babies. Highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

Tony M.

“Mia has been so good with our energetic pup, she keeps us informed about how she does on her daily walk and even has spent a little extra time playing with her when she could. So happy we found her, she truly loves dogs and loves taking care of them!”

About: I have owned 1-2 dogs at a time since I was born. I love all kinds of dogs, big and small, and I havent met a dog that hasn't liked me! I love going for walks and would be open to running if they have a lot of energy. I am available for all services except boarding as I have my own dog and he is pretty territorial. I live in Homer Glen and work in Oakbrook four days a week, typically 8-6:30. I am free on weekends and one weekday per week (usually Fridays). I am easy to contact and I am always smiling, especially if there is a dog nearby! I would make sure you are happy you chose me to take care of your furry friend!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I volunteered for two years at an animal shelter, where I helped care for dogs by providing exercise, socialization, and daily attention. This experience taught me how to work with a variety of temperaments and how to make animals feel safe and comfortable. I am also a dog owner myself and currently care for two Doberman Pinschers, which has given me extensive experience handling large, energetic breeds and understanding their physical and emotional needs. In addition, I have provided pet sitting services for many neighbors and family friends, earning their trust through my reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer routine, I am committed to providing personalized care, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they receive the exercise, attention, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide consistent and personalized care. In my home and in clients' homes, I ensure pets have a safe, clean, and supervised environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special requests from owners. Having cared for my own two Doberman Pinschers and many pets for neighbors and friends, I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
