Dog Sitting Hazel Crest

About: I am a Veterinarian Technician with 7 years experience. I graduated from Fox college Vet Tech Institute and working with animals is my passion. I have experience working with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Rabbits, Exotics, and Birds. I offer additional care for seniors pets (Ex: taking them on shorter more frequent walks) and pets who have health concerns. (Ex: Giving medications). Book with me and your pet will be in great hands! I am available 7 days a week! I offer Early morning walks, afternoon walks, evening walks, and night time walks. What ever time works for you most likely works for me! I live in an animal friendly apartment! I have a large kennel if your pet prefers to sleep in one. I have a big field of grass behind me for leash walks / play time.

About: Worked with everything from tiny puppies to seniors at the kennel and proudly volunteer at Chicago PAWS. I am also pursuing my career in pre-vet, looking forward to gaining more experience along the way. I am currently working part time but will be starting school in the fall so Im available Wednesdays-Sundays after 12pm Wednesday and Fridays: Evening shifts only (2pm-8pm) Saturdays: Morning shifts only (8am-12pm) Sundays: Both morning and evening shifts. (8am-8pm) Strongly prioritize a stress free space by following specific care routines and keeping the environment super clean. My experience at the kennel and at PAWS means that I am aware of safety procedures and keeping an eye out for health changes.

About: I offer a home-based boarding experience designed for pets who deserve thoughtful, elevated care. My home is calm, beautifully maintained, and intentionally structured—ideal for dogs who thrive on routine, comfort, and personalized attention. I share my home with a 15-year-old miniature poodle, so I selectively welcome only gentle, compatible dogs to maintain a peaceful, low-stress environment. With limited capacity, each guest receives attentive supervision, individualized care, and a nurturing, high-quality stay. I’m enjoying early retirement and have chosen to devote my time to providing full-time, attentive care for dogs. This allows me to be consistently present, unhurried, and deeply focused on each guest’s comfort, routine, and overall well-being throughout their stay. I have a beautiful and clean spacious split level home for your fur baby to freely move around in. My home features a securely fenced yard designed for safe, supervised playtime. Dogs enjoy calm outdoor breaks and gentle activity in a controlled environment, always under attentive supervision to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

“I was able to find Jennifer quickly on the Rover app. I chose her by her profile and her close proximity to where I live. She responded very quickly to our request thru the app. She came for a short visit so we and our doberman could meet her. I wanted her also to feel comfortable with our large dog. We needed someone to come a couple of days around midday to fed, potty, walk and play our very active 8 month old 60 lb dog. We had her come for an hour each day. It was also the first time we were leaving her all day. Jennifer did exactly what was asked and says she looks forward to helping us out again. I know we will use her in the future.”

“Finn has been absolutely fantastic with my pup Bowser! Very flexible, clear communication, and attentive!! Bowser is high anxiety so having someone that he’s super comfortable with gives me all the confidence!!”

“Mara is simply the best—highly recommended! My husband and I have never trusted anyone outside of family to care for our two senior dogs. One requires medication, and the other is extremely anxious, so finding the right person felt overwhelming. Mara immediately put us at ease. She took the time to meet with me and my dogs before her scheduled visits and was incredibly patient while I learned how to use the app. Not only is she kind and attentive with my pets, but she is also very capable and handled their somewhat complicated care with confidence. She communicated clearly, letting me know when something came up without causing unnecessary worry, and managed every situation thoughtfully—even things I hadn’t anticipated. Mara is responsive, flexible, and truly easy to work with. When I needed to add a service last minute, she responded right away and accommodated my request without hesitation. I can’t say enough good things—she is trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly reliable. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs.”

About: I’ve had many pets since the age of 6 years old and I’ve always had an absolute love for any and all animals out there. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule for every one needed. I’m available on weekdays (Mon-Thurs) from 12pm and weekends (Fri-Sun) after 5:30pm. I have many experiences with caring for other owners’ fur babies in their home and I’m as respectful as I can be in their houses. I can send many pictures if the client needs them in order to be comfortable.

About: Taking care of animals when explaining what I do is a understatement. I’ve had animals all my life, whether feeding, caring, etc… I’m the one to do it. I simply just have a genuine passion for pets. I’d have one of my own but I’m in school. From bathing, grooming, walking… I literally do it all. So let me get to know your pet. I currently work a Part-Time job so I definitely have freedom and time to care for your pet. My days are a little wonky, but I communicate so that won’t be a problem. In my home, a dog is not a animal. It might as well be a human. I treat ANY pet with extreme care, putting them first before my own self. In a client’s home, it’s the same way, obviously with owners guidelines in mind… I’d make sure the dog is in great hands and care.

About: I grew up around cats and dogs. I’ve had two rescue dogs so far, and I have prior shelter experience. Special skills: training young pets, separation anxiety, oral/topical medication, senior care I work remotely so pups would be at home with someone at all times and would have access to frequent potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced yard and one other dog who is very gentle and sweet so she would keep them company and go on walks with them!

“Savanna was great with our two cats for drop in visits, with even our shy cat loving her by the end of the week! She was reliable and excellent with communication. We will pick Savanna next time we need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: I am a verified walker on the app Wag, as well as having over 3 years experience working in animal care. I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and customers on another dog walking app for over 2 years. I work part time so I have a lot of availability! This summer is completely open for me since my nannying job stops for the summer! I have a completely fenced in yard, reliable transportation, a clean background check and I am more than willing to clean up after any mess your pup may make while you aren't home!

About: I love animals! Sometimes their moms, dads, or owners need a little help to care for their furbabbies and I’m here to provide compassionate care and protection! I work part-time and am open to new opportunities to fill my schedule especially with the love of an animal who needs a little attention. Depending on the animal and the service requested, I treat pets with discipline and a gentle but firm touch. My goal is to protect the animal, myself, the owners, and the public.

About: I’ve grown up with all sorts of animals, I recently got a puppy and her training at home has been going great, I’ve taken care of many different breeds and ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I work for family part time and stay at home for the time being, I’m available for walks or potty breaks anytime during the week between 8am and 5pm When dealing with my own dogs potty breaks look like all of us going out at once, I don’t tend to leave dogs unsupervised unless told to do so, I love taking my dogs for walks and playing outside so good long walks are surely in store for your pups as well.

About: I have had plenty of different experiences with dogs ranging from larger, lower energy breeds like a Newfoundland to higher energy breeds like German short-haired pointer as well as other breeds like English sheep dogs, Malinois, and shih tzu's. I engage with dogs whenever I can, and I simply believe that all they need to be happy is to have someone with them that wants to spend as much time with them as they do! I currently work part time, but I have lots of open time for walks, typically in the morning or later in the day (work shifts usually last from 3pm until 7pm). I have a very high energy dog (German Short haired pointer), and I have had him since 2020, and he was a nightmare to train, but now I feel like a super mom when it comes to dogs because I have yet to meet another dog anywhere near the craziness of this breed.

About: I had a senior dog for over 15 years that I took care of! Also fully trained her and loved her. Additionally, I have worked at a barn with horses, cats, and dogs that I have taken care of. :) I am a college student but I am free all days besides Tuesdays and Wednesdays! I can make those days work after 5 pm. Weekends I can do any hours as well for any service. I have a fenced yard and no other pets at my house at the time. I have water bowls and feeders. I also will walk your dog for as long or little as needed because I love walks and runs myself!

“Had to book an extra day of drop in visits at the last minute, and Veerali was amazing about it. Appreciated the fast response flexibility!! Thank you!!”

About: I grew up with cats and Golden Retrievers and now have 4 Boston Terriers and 2 new kittens, who are my whole world! I am also an approved dog-walker / caregiver for Chicago Animal Care and Control, trained in their strict techniques, so I am comfortable caring for, walking, and exhausting small to large dogs. Currently working part time, so have lots of time to dedicate to your pups! I am mostly available for walks during weekdays: Mon - Fri, 9a - 5p Happy to care for your pup where they are most comfortable, in your home! Even if you have a fully fenced yard, you can trust that I'll never leave them unsupervised and unleashed, outside. If you do not have a fenced yard, we will have lots of fun getting our steps in, around the neighborhood! Comfortable getting your pup in and out of crates/kennels if needed, and getting them harnessed up for walks. Will *always* pick up any and all poop your pup leaves, whether in your yard or on our walks.
