“Worked good with my schedule being midnights. Made sure she went potty and checked her food before she left for the night. Took pictures of the walk. Very easy to coordinate with Carolina”


About: I've been blessed by cats and dogs since college, and have navigated everything from the puppy and kitten chaos through the golden senior years. My husband and I are home full time to tend to your pets. Expert at delivering oral medications and basic care. I check all guests with a flea comb on arrival and am happy to do daily brushing for long haired breeds. Big believer in providing enrichment activities such as puzzles and snuffle mats, agility training for active dog breeds, and proper socialization. All boarded animals will have the option to be socialized with our household animals or be boarded separately, we have designed our home to have several completely separated areas. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to tend to your pets. I'm an early riser for those early morning potty breaks and can make late night potty breaks work as needed. I care for all animals with love, decency, and respect. Adhering to their existing schedules is key when boarding them in a new space, so I try to keep their day to day as normal as possible. I'm a big fan of natural treats and fun enrichment activities; I have a variety of puzzle feeders and snuffle mats for all animals. I have a fully enclosed back yard with plenty of grass for running and playing. The neighborhood is good for walking as well. I aim for at least 30 minutes of supervised playtime in the yard per day for all dogs. There is also a fully enclosed cat patio for safe outdoor access as well as two bedrooms devoted to pets. One of these has its own entrance to and from the yard for boarding pets who desire no interaction with other animals.

“Evelyn got back to me quickly and came for a meet and greet right away. My baby Cooper had a rough puppyhood and is afraid and reactive.He’s very strong and can pull me down. I am always worried that a new walker might not be able to handle him. Evelyn was confident putting my mind at ease. She is wonderful and sweet to Coop , who loved her immediately. I am so lucky to have found her. Evelyn is kind and calm and I believe she could handle any situation. Cooper and I are so happy.”


About: Animals run my world to say the least. Starting young and bringing everything home as a child. Snakes, turtles, ferrets, stay dogs. Everything became part of the family. As I got older the passion grew even further. Expanding to wolves, tigers, lions and more. Now also having a pack of 4 pups at home and a very spoiled kitty. Along with a few reptiles. Currently working part time having plenty of time to help take care of yours companions. I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to work around you and your pets needs. Crating available if need for transport. Also along with chew proof leashes originally build for wolves with steal cables for even the most talented escape artist your pet is safe.

About: I have taken care of pets and been around them since I was 5. My family and friends usually rely on me to watch over their pets when they are gone. I am currently in high school and I also play sports. I am free on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). I can most likely make my schedule a little more flexible if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a VERY friendly dog that will he keep your furry buddy company. I am also able to commute very easily.

“Annie is fantastic! The funny part is I have never met her, but my other half did and said she was an angel! She is super accommodating for me and my pup. She sends pictures, and keeps me updated. She keeps our home safe, and makes sure it’s all locked up when she leaves. She was even willing to take my pup to the vet when he was sick and I was working. I use her weekly and say enough good things :)”


About: I moved to Florida permanently a couple of months ago, but I know the area because my parents have lived here multiple years. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. In 2015, I adopted my very own black cat, Louie, from a kill shelter in Texas, which deepened my passion for animal rescue and care. During college in Chicago, I gained hands-on experience working at animal shelters, where I learned valuable skills in handling and caring for different breeds and temperaments. I’m comfortable using gentle leaders as well as standard leashes, ensuring safe and positive walking experiences for dogs. Currently, I share my home with four cats and two dogs, and I truly love working with animals—it’s something that brings me joy and purpose every single day. I’m currently working part time from home, so I have plenty of availability to drop-in, take a walk, or even hang out with furr friends. I’m available: M, Tu, Wed, Fri, Sat from 7:30am-6pm Th, Sun from 7:30am-5pm *special requests may be considered if I happen to be available When taking walk or going outside, I take the safety of any dog seriously and have experience distracting dogs or leading them away from anything that may cause a problem to arise.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs over the years, including regular walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, slow stroll, or just a potty break with some affection, I’ve got them covered! I work remotely and set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care seamlessly into my day. Whether your pup needs a morning walk, midday break, or evening stroll, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends, and I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take precautions on every walk—securing leashes, avoiding unsafe areas, and keeping a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I take the time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel safe and cared for, whether that means going slow with a shy pup or bringing a little extra energy for playful dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands!

As I work towards my career, I’m seeking some extra income, and what better way than combining my passion for animals with a job I truly enjoy? In my free time, I offer reliable, loving pet care services tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just some cozy companionship, I promise your pet will be in great hands. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, and I’m committed to providing the highest level of care so you can feel confident while you’re away. Let me help give your pet the attention and love they deserve! Between my classes and studies, I set aside dedicated time each day to provide personalized care, whether it’s taking dogs for long walks, playing with them, or just being present to offer companionship. I have a secure, fenced yard where your dog can safely play, run, and explore. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and cozy downtime.


“I booked Kim for a last minute walk. She contacted me right away and was on time. My dog was a little nervous at first but by the time she came back from her walk she was smiling. Kim was patient and sweet with my dog. I am extremely pleased with Kim and will use her again.”


About: I’m passionate about giving pets the best care possible and creating a safe, loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. I have experience with animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need gentle, specialized attention. I am detail-oriented, ensuring feeding schedules, medication routines, and any training methods are followed precisely. I’m also attentive to pets’ unique personalities, helping them feel secure and happy while their families are away! With 20 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I’m a dedicated and reliable sitter who understands the unique needs of each pet. I offer early morning and evening visits during the week, providing consistent care that fits into my Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM work schedule. I’m also available for weekend visits or extended stays, making me a flexible choice for your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick check-in, feeding, or spending extra time with a senior cat, I’m here to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy while you’re away. I have an apartment sized perfectly for small/medium dogs and cats to roam. I have plenty of room for a crate as well. We do have one cat who would be kept seperate from any other pets brought into the home.

“Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.”


About: I take the time to bond with each dog, earning their trust and making them feel safe, loved and understood. I adapt my approach to each dog’s personality, energy level and needs, whether it’s a playful pup who needs exercise or a senior dog who just wants gentle companionship. I’m currently working part-time as a realtor so I have a flexible schedule and can work around my clients schedules and needs as directed with notice. I live in a condo with two kittens so I will most likely be sitting at the client’s home. I will care for the pets as directed by the client, providing them photos and details of my time with their pets.

About: Hello! Since the young age of ten I have been given the responsibility of feeding and letting out my neighbors' dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even sea monkeys! The times spent with the larger pets involved me staying for extended periods of time to walk, wash, feed, and just spend time with them! More recently I have started spending the night at peoples' houses which included all of the duties mentioned previously. I also have worked with horses since a very young age, and while that won't be necessary in the big city, since it's a big responsibility I thought I'd add it! On top of my experience, I truly don't see animals as an accessory, but as companions that do so much more for us than we do for them. I would love to be a home away from home for your critter!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.

They are older and have special needs. Gina is very responsible and takes an interest in them, loves them, keeps them in their routine and gives their medications meticulously. She stayed in our home while we were away for 3 weeks and bonded with them. After we returned home, they would sit by the door waiting for her to arrive. They even looked around for her. This made us very happy. It is a great feeling to be able to travel and not have any worries about the care of our sweet Roxy and Barney and now a third one, Wilbur. I highly recommend Gina to anyone who wants trustworthy responsible and loving care of their pets.”

Hannah has continued to be reliable, responsible, flexible, kind and someone we can truly trust. Anyone who knows Hannah knows that she is an avid dog lover; I think becoming a certified dog caregiver would be the perfect job for her!”


Erica C.
“Erica is amazing with animals. She goes above and beyond for her pets. Erica provided a wonderful life for her Yorkie of 17 years. He was loved and well taken care of. She also has tons of experience watching many of her friends and relatives pets and treats them as if they are her own. I can't think of anyone better than her to watch your pets. You can absolutely count on her to give them as much love and attention as they deserve.”
