“Heather was a god send! We were visiting the area and were unexpectedly kept away from home for 12 hours! I was panicked. Heather went over, took great care of them and gave me a great deal of comfort. Her communication and effort was top notch!”
About: Dog sitting since 2010, I love dogs and am not put off by size or jumping. After a few quick sniffs we are likely to be good friends. I work but I make sure I leave time between my multiple jobs to check on the dog. I have references if needed. It can be hard to give a key to a stranger and to trust someone in your home. I can grab mail, water plants, ***and care for smaller animals and additional pets that aren't the traditional cat and dog.*** I work part time, so I do not work more than 7 straight hours. My other jobs are often virtual/online or other dogs so it gives me flexibility. I have a cat and can only watch pets at your residence, because I have roommates. I love to snuggle pets (if they feel comfortable with me) and am conscientious in dietary needs and will read whatever instructions and specifics you give. I dont mind giving medicine. I will admit that I can be hard for me to do dinner times if it's on a strict schedule. I can get up as early as needed for breakfast time, but sometimes life gets in the way naturally. I am also a night owl and rely on that to earn extra income, So I do a lot of events. I'm an actor, game designer, as well as an educator and freelance writer. I like to follow instructions whether given in the form of an email or on a piece of paper. Vet numbers and any information that helps me best Make your pet healthy and happy is helpful. A lot of people worry when they give me a packet and I'm an avid reader so don't worry if you have more than three pages. I'm pretty sure the longest one has been five pages for one dog and even that isn't that long. :)
“Talitha was wonderful! We booked her for four consecutive days of walking and she took great care of our pup! She was thorough with contact and documenting his walks and sending plenty of pictures. We are so appreciative of her!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve. I’m returning to college to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and I’d love to not only give your pets the care they deserve, but to add to my experience for the furbabies in the future! Caring for pets in my clients home will all depend on what I have access to. I am more than comfortable with taking dogs outside/on walks, crating them, and feeding/treating them.
About: I enjoy caring for animals and have experience with cats of all ages, kitten to senior. I've had cats my whole life and have experience with bottle feeding, medication administration and diabetic care. I also have experience with dog sitting and walking. I've been volunteering with a local rescue since 2019 and I'm passionate about helping animals find the perfect home and live happy lives. I'm currently working part - time so I have lots of availability during the week for morning, afternoon or evening hours and I'm available every other weekend. Please let me know at least 1-2 days in advance of your needs. I'm able to cat sit at my home or yours! Dog sitting, I can come to your home as often as needed for bathroom breaks, walks and play.

About: *Please read through and understand my policies before booking - your pets well-being is what is most important to me! I have taken care of various pets since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and bearded dragons! I have always been the family/friend go-to for help with animals whether it is walking dogs, house-sitting, ect. I am a huge animal advocate and a Humane Policy Leader Volunteer with the ASPCA. Throughout high school and college, I looked for opportunities to help animals at an individual level (doing some rescue work, rehab work, fundraising, ect.), and it has greatly improved my knowledge about providing care for animals of various needs. I take the health and safety of animals very seriously, and will treat yours as my own. If you book a 24 hour+ period with me as your pet’s only caregiver, I require a minimum of 3 visits daily and will not allow your dog to be alone for more than 12 hours. With cats and other small animals there is flexibility with the amount of drop-ins. I also typically only do last minute bookings for clients I’ve worked with previously because they know my standards and I know their pet’s needs - this helps ensure that the client is comfortable with my care, the pet is comfortable with my care, and I am comfortable providing my services. I am available everyday for pet care and at various times. All scheduling details can be discussed further at a meet and greet to ensure you feel comfortable with the care your pet will be receiving :) I have special experience with diabetic animals, deaf animals, and animals with health/behavior needs. So that I am able to best take care of your pet, please let me know if there is anything I should know about your pet so that I can be prepared to give them the proper care. I would also ask that a meet and greet is set up prior to future visits so that we can ensure your pets comfortability with me while you are away! I will ensure during visits to send pictures of your pet to you and provide a summary of the visit to put your mind at ease, and of course text me on Rover at any point with any concerns or needs. As a fellow animal parent, I understand we experience some separation anxiety from our pets!
About: I have been dedicated to the pet care industry since 2011, offering reliable and compassionate care for dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience spans working in pet stores, veterinary clinics, and providing in-home pet sitting services. I specialize in caring for senior pets and administering medications, ensuring every animal's unique needs are met. I take great pride in treating each pet as if they were my own because I believe pets are just as much a part of the family as humans. I am available to play and care for your pets when your life gets busy. Drop in? Afternoon walk? Night time feeding? I’ll be there. I take pride in listening to my clients requests for their pets. I request that my clients leave a detailed list of feeding times, medication schedules, favorite toys, pets habits, list of phone numbers like their vets office, etc, as well as pets likes and dislikes so I can be sure all pets feel as comfortable as possible while in my care.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was nearly 9 years old. I have always loved animals deeply, but have connected with dogs especially. I specialize in dog walks, play time, healthy human interaction, and responsible pet care. I currently have two dogs that are like my children. I am currently working part time as a mail carrier with the post office. My schedule is erratic and unpredictable, but I am usually available everyday after 4pm, and any day that I am not scheduled to work. My dogs are crate trained (which I strongly suggest) but I can accommodate the needs of any client and will respect their wishes and instructions.
About: I've had a love of animals ever since i can remember. Growing up we always had a dog as part of the family along with a multitude of other pets and I can't imagine it any other way. I've raised dogs from puppies and loved them until their last breath. I have puppy pads available for those who are not yet trained and those who have lost their ability to tell you when they need to go. I am a Registered Nurse and am very familiar with giving not only oral and topical medications but injections as well. I also have an amazing vet I've been going to for over 15 years, literally within minutes from my house just in case the unexpected happens. I have watched multiple dogs for family and friends over the years and I've also fostered/rescued and re-homed over 7 dogs in the last 20 years some of whom came to me in pretty rough shape and I cared for them until they reached their full potential and were ready to be loved by another family. If i could have kept them all I would have but I had to make room for the next fur baby in need. I currently work full-time as a RN but have the opportunity to work from home on a regular basis. My animals are never left home alone for an extended period of time. I also have a large cages with lots of clean blankets for boarders to be put in for a short amount of time if need be.
About: I have spent my entire life around dogs, from being raised with several to spending many years working with them on a professional level; working in daycare, boarding, dog sitting and grooming. I have experience working with puppies; basic training and house breaking; all the way up to senior care and catering to a dying dog’s final moments. I can give medicine, including insulin. Dogs are the most precious and important part of my life and I strive to give them all of the love that they deserve while making sure to give them the best care and always leaving room for some silliness. Many of the dogs that I care for play fun games, get homemade treats, and dress up on silly outfits for extra special pup photography. I have experience working with dogs as small as chihuahua's and as large as Great Pyrenees and mastiffs. I work part time doing compassion care for the elderly and I spend my afternoons and weekends taking care of dogs. I dog sit, groom and have play dates I have a fenced in yard at my home, along with a small doggie pool. I also have a very friendly husky and a kitten who thinks that she is a dog.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my life. Friends and family have relied on me countless times to walk and feed their pets. Right now having three dogs of different breeds; Golden Retriever, Standard Poodle, and Black Lab. I’m currently about to be starting college in the fall. Once college starts my schedule will be more limited, but will keep updating this when there are changes. I have shadowed at multiple vet clinics, knowing behaviors and signs your fur baby is showing. Also knowing how to distract and distance space when needed, may it be an other dog or even if your dog needs some space.
“Valerie is Awesome! Professional, Friendly, and kept communicating with me every step of the way. She would notify me when she was on the way to my house and took a picture when she dropped my dog off. I work from home on occasion. I had to work from home one week and I was unable to get my dog to doggie daycare. She came every day and picked up my dog and dropped her off at doggie day care near Walmart in Cicero. The staff at doggie daycare said she was friendly and professional.”

Valerie S.
“When my dog, Stu, was still with us, Valerie demonstrated time and time again that I could trust her with my best friend when work/school kept me away from home. This was especially true as he got older (he had issues with incontinence, poor vision, and hearing loss) and required a lot of patience and TLC. I’d trust Valerie and highly recommend Valerie to take care of your furry friend and know that they are in the best care possible.”

Jennifer C.
“I have known Jennifer for several years and we met when she working at the kennel where my dog goes to daycare. It became very apparent that she truly loves animals and has become one of my dog's favorite persons. When she visits it isn't as much to see me as it is to visit her buddy. I would recommend Jennifer as a dog walker or dog sitter because she is caring and responsible. She actually hosted a sleepover and birthday for her dog and my dog. My dog came home totally happy and exhausted! You should do yourself and your furry friends a favor and contact Jennifer for all of your pet related needs. She is a blessing!”
