About: After working in semi-corporate environments for so long, I felt stifled. Once I started doing things for me - shorter, colored hair, more tattoos and piercings, people started looking at me differently, even though my personality never changed. The best part of my transformation was seeing all the animals still gravitating to me. I grew up around animals and kept up with having many different pets in my adult life. Now I get to play with, and care for, so many animals. It's not always easy, but it is rewarding to see their little faces light up when I open the door and know that I can bring them even a portion of the joy they give me. I take my own pup to the dog park before working a remote full-time job. My daughter got me started walking with her clients for lunch and in the evenings and I have learned to love the exercise and breaking up my day with animals! Our animals have the run of our home, sitting on furniture and sleeping in bed with us. Understandably, not everyone wants that and I can adapt to clients’ house rules without question.

“Thank you for again for looking out for Luffy, he loves his walks with you!”

“Caroline is a great dog walker. Very reliable! Went above and beyond for me when I broke my foot and was unable to walk my dog. Excellent choice!”

About: I've had dogs since I was born and they're make life so special. Your pet will be well taken care of and loved just like it was my own. I have lots of free time to spend with your animals and make sure they have so much fun and love. I'm excited to meet them and spend time with your fluffy friends! I will make sure to understand the specific care and requirements you have for your pets to make sure they're happy and comfortable with little change in their routine.

About: I have had a dog my whole life, along with 2 years of in home house sitting and dog sitting experience. I have handled 3 dogs at the same time, with feedings, medication, walks and playtime. I have dealt with diabetic, handicapped and elderly pups, along with puppies. I can handle anything thrown my way. I have my own dog, who has high anxiety and likes to run away, so I have experience in that as well. I also have a pet Chinchilla, so I have experience in exotic animal care and high need pets. I am currently working part time, and I usually work closing shifts until either 8:30 or 10pm. My mornings are usually free for morning walks/feedings, and after work I will always make time to stop by and spend time with your pets. I always make sure they have adequate food/water, depending on each pets needs. I am able to maintain a medication schedule if needed. I also make sure to do household tasks if need be, such as watering plants inside or out. I make sure to walk them and let them out with enough time for them to do their business and have outside play time. I also really enjoy having playtime with the pets.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. From my big Newfoundland, Raven, to my small Beagle/Corgi, Sadie. I have experience with elderly dogs as well and I have volunteered at my local shelters since throughout high school. I can play fetch and ball all day with dogs who are energetic, or lounge around with dogs who are feeling lazy. I am happy to note that I am a pro at picking up the poop. I am a college student in art education who is currently on summer break. I have a lot of free time during the weekdays and am eager to take care of some furry friends. I am free most of the day, so I am able to make multiple visits for your pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply keeping your pet company, I’d be more than happy to swing by.

About: I got my first cat at age 5 and have been an animal lover ever since. I currently have two senior beagle mixes and three cats (two voids and a calico). I love spending my time with animals since they love unconditionally and they deserve all the love. I am a former teacher currently working part time. I am available weekdays and weekends to help take care of your pets. I am completely flexible. I have a fully fenced in yard. It is also beagle proofed (meaning every nook and cranny is covered with an additional security measure). We have numerous dog beds, dog toys, along with way too many cat trees, toys. We also have two rooms that have a safety gate that dogs can't get through so the cats always have their own area.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child, and I work hard to make sure they have a comfortable space to relax and play, while still being safe and mindful. I have two small dogs that love hanging with other small dogs, our cats, and making new friends! I work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays and have easy access to walking paths for the pups all day! I provide several nooks and corners for visitors to get comfortable in too. They’ve free range of the living room and kitchen area, which has three different beds and a few pieces of comfort furniture for them to lounge on if they so choose! We have a big sliding glass door that exits to our yard area (always on leash when we’re outside) and leads right to the walking paths around our quiet neighborhood.

About: My boyfriend calls me a dog whisperer. Every dog we encounter on our walks comes to me first and gets so excited to see me. I have a pretty flexible schedule with my kids being in school and only working part time, so I have the time to give your pups some attention. I have a friendly clean home. I have a dog park close to where I live for socialization and expending energy. . I do have a crate if need be.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of since but it’s been a while. I love walking, playing and toying. I love so much animals I’m currently working part-time but enjoy hanging with puppies and kittens. I’m available anytime now. Let me know as a possible soon okay love bye I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs and cats to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I have had pets almost my whole life and have a passion for caring for animals. I have walked dogs and have pet sit and enjoy spending time with animals! I currently have two cats in my household and enjoy them so much! I am currently doing online school, so my schedule is pretty open and available to watch and care for your pets whether it be pet sitting, dropping in or dog walking. I will always treat your household with respect and will follow the detailed instructions left for me regarding the care of your pet. If needed, I will always contact you with a question regarding your pet as well.

About: I work from home, so your pup won't need to be alone for multiple hours. I minimize the number of dogs I care for at any given time - no more than two dogs boarded at a time, so I provide more focused care for your baby. While I don't have a yard, we will go on at least four daily walks in a quiet residential neighborhood. There is a fenced dog run in my community, and if you choose to take advantage of it, I'll happily let your dog partake. I hope you will consider me when selecting a sitter for your beloved fur child! I have been involved in rescuing dogs for the past 20 years...It's my life's calling. I have successfully matched over 100 worthy, loving rescue dogs with their forever families in my volunteer rescue work and it's among my proudest accomplishments. Additionally, I continue to dedicate countless hours to rescue, volunteering with no fewer than four local rescues throughout the Chicagoland area. I not only have experience with placing dogs with their forever families, but I also have a wealth of experience in managing medical issues, including administering medications and transporting dogs to vet appointments, recruiting fosters, dog walking, dog socialization, transporting dogs across state lines from high-kill to no-kill shelters, pulling dogs from high-kill shelters and negotiating their transfers to no-kill shelters, dog grooming, kennel management, and dog socialization. I consider dogs as family members and provide a warm, loving, interactive, compassionate home, time, attention, and devotion to canine citizens of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I currently have an adopted rescue dog - a beagle mix named Wally who is my life. He saved me, I didn't save him! He was rescued after being abused and abandoned - he was tossed out of a car at an Alabama gas station and he is safe now and for the rest of his life. I consider him the son I never had. I work full-time from my home in Schaumburg. I have a spacious two-bedroom, second-floor apartment in a quiet, residential area of Schaumburg. I take my dog on several walks a day - 4 to 5 to be exact! I have access to a small dog park/dog run in my apartment community and will provide plenty of exercise if your pup needs it. I have a warm, comfortable home, and my dog is very social, patient, accommodating, and adaptable to other dogs' personalities. I have hosted several foster dogs and he is great at reading their energy and personalities and adapts well to them. I am home a great deal, so your pup won't be left alone for hours on end. I can accommodate crating, or free-roaming depending on your dogs' needs. I have experience with canine medical and veterinary needs and I'm more than happy to attend to various special needs. I own a car and can transport your dog to veterinary appointments, or provide entertainment and engagement through trips for pup cups, pet-friendly establishments like Home Depot or TJ Maxx, forest preserves, parks, or any other dog-friendly locations, if you prefer or desire. I work from home, and therefore I'm attentive and can keep a close, watchful eye on your pup, and you should rest easily knowing your fur baby will not be alone for hours on end. I am experienced in addressing behavioral issues via hours of training, handling hundreds of dogs, providing dog walking, and assessing pet behavioral and medical issues through the volunteer work I do with rescue. I take safety and security very seriously, and it is always top of mind. I never let dogs roam off-leash outdoors and use two leashes and/or a leash and harness combination to ensure safety and security at all times.

About: My childhood was full of dogs and, since I was about 10 years old, I’ve taken care of various pets of family members, friends and neighbors consistently. I’m patient, enthusiastic, empathetic, and very reliable when it comes to caring for your dog or cat’s physical and emotional wellbeing! I’m am available for check-ins and walks throughout the week and weekends when given reasonable notice. I can also do check-ins and housesitting on the weekends. I can care for your pet in your home however you need me too! Whether you crate them or let them roam in the yard, I am a quick learner and will easily communicate with you about their needs should they arise!

About: I've had dogs since I was 14. We like going on walks and they can enjoy the backyard. I've had 3 pitbulls and now have a Yorkie mix. I am home full time perfect if your fur baby doesn't like being alone. The most they'll be alone will be up to one hour a day. I have a fenced yard and live close to a walking trail. I have one dog and kids to keep your dog company,they'll never be lonely.
