“Danielle was wonderful taking care of our cats. She took time to know and to give attention to each of them. She is amazing, and we will definitely book with her again 😊”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets (dogs and cats) since I was in middle school. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and helped puppy-sit dogs through the Canine Companions collegiate chapter at my university! I am also comfortable with any size pet, I’ve cared for puppies and kittens all the way up to Great Danes! I’m currently a student, but I have a lot of availability. My class load is light and I’m not on campus much so I have very flexible availability! I am good at following whatever instructions left for me relating to any of the pets’ needs. I have taken care of animals before for other as well as my own pets so I’ll make sure they’re treated well and get lots of love and care!
“Steve is wonderful!! He really went above and beyond for us. He was attentive and caring with my animals, on time, thorough and communicative. I felt so much peace of mind knowing that he was taking care of them. I will absolutely book him any time I need help with my pets. I can’t recommend him enough!!! Thank you Steve!”

About: I’ve grown up with a taken care of dogs my entire life. We have a lively and loving home full of two children and our 1.5 year old dog. I will make sure your dog is fed, played with, walked and loved on constantly. I am currently a med student, so I have classes from 8 am until about 2 pm and then I’m available to be home studying and taking breaks to walk and love on your pet. We have an apartment so no fenced yards here unfortunately. But we have walking trails around the complex and I would love to walk your pet around there. I have two children (2 and 7) who are ultimate animal lovers too. I have a 1.5 year old dog who loves all animals. She is very high energy but extremely sweet and non aggressive.
“We had Swagata watch our puppy for multiple days while at work since she wasn’t old enough to be left alone all day. Swagata was very accommodating and helpful, she sent lots of pictures and our puppy was always happy and well cared for. We will absolutely have her care for our puppy again in the future.”

“As always, great experience with Beth. She is prompt to respond and takes the time to play with Rupert (not always easy! Lol!) which we greatly appreciate. Leaving your pets with someone can be so nerve-wracking. I'm so happy to have found Beth as she truly sets my mind at ease!!”

“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”

About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She was thoughtful and attentive, and both kitties seemed to warm up to her really quickly. She went out of her way to provide exceptional service, and I’d be happy to make use of her services again!”

About: I have a degree in animal behavior and I’m at home all day long so I am able to provide constant care and attention as well as administer any medication/meet any feeding requirements. Stay at home mom so I am able to give the best care whenever they require/want it! Goes on frequent walks and to dog park daily I have a fenced in patio and baby gates in house as well as my dogs are kennel trained if any dogs need to eat separately and to provide good one on one time
About: As a person I'm very friendly and responsible and capable . I've got a great demeanor which lends itself well to patiently interacting with all kinds of pets. I am experienced with pups and cats (and many other animals) of all breeds, ages, and sizes. In particular, I have a huge soft spot for young puppies and kittens they are just they cutest thing in the world. I understand that each pet is unique, special, and loved. So I will value providing individualized experiences for every animal. Whether you're looking for a one-time, long-term, as-needed, or on-demand sitter, please don't hesitate to send me a message. . I offer Rover's standard drop ins walks and house sits. Upon request I can also provide extended daytime visits

“Faith is fantastic. She is so attentive to detail and truly cares for animals. I am so grateful for her help this week on a last minute request. She is a life saver. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.
About: Hi, my name is Laillanni!! ☺ Animals are my life! They make me happy. When I was younger I had different types of pets. For example, a dog, a cat, birds and hamsters. I would say one my strong traits are patience, courage and optimism. When it comes to people or animals, I definitely have patience with them. I believe, I am a great choice for your furry friend because they will be in good hands and will be waging their furry tail when they see you again! I also love to run. So if you have an active dog, just know we're gonna get a workout in and kick furry butts. lol At the moment, I have time on my hands to meet some new furry friends and get in shape if that's what they need. Can't wait to set up a meet and greet.🤗 I live in a small apartment. I don't have backyard. However, if your pet is staying the night at my apartment. We will definitely be outside at least 3-5 times a day.🏃♀️🐕
“Caroline is such a dog lover and so enthusiastic and fun to talk to! She came over to play with our dog while we unloaded our moving truck and was super accommodating when things didn’t quite go according to plan. Our dog seemed to do great with her (I’m impressed she tired him out enough that he wanted to go inside of his own volition!) I, and Robin, look forward to seeing Caroline again!”

About: Hello! My name is Bianca, new to the Illinois area:) A little about me, I'm a proud Navy wife, mom of 3. I live for children smiles, reading, walks, family time, animals, and coffee/tea. I have over 11 years experience as a personal caregiver to my own pets, over the past years experience working in a veterinary hospital, doggy daycare, and pet sitting/housesitting for family, friends, and neighbors in the area. I genuinely love providing reliable, safe, and professional routine care to all paws. Im very reliable and can commit to hours needed. I love to meet expectations and accommodate based on the owners and pets individual needs. My days and hours are flexible Monday -Thursday. Weekends are flexible as well. I can also do overnight w/advance notice upon request. Thank you for considering! I like to accommodate the schedule routine that the pet is used to because they are most comfortable. I love to play and provide love and nurture so they feel safe with me at all times.
About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was a small kid and loved every second of it. Unfortunately with my job here I wasn’t able to get a dog and moving in a year I don’t want to get one before I transfer. Taking advantage of this app to enjoy my time with animals I’m currently only working morning for an hour or so and work close by so I am home 23 out of the hours a day and would love a friend I have a back yard at my apartments and patio area to let the dog roam and hang out and love to go on walks. I will make sure all dogs are taken out when needed and nothing hazardous around them .
