About: Dogs are my favorite animal! Why? Because they are loyal, caring, fun and you already know this because you own one! :) I have a shepherd mix who I love dearly. I used to volunteer at West suburban humane society, and have dealt with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I feel comfortable around dogs and have lots of experience. I treat them like a member of the family. I love all animals, so if you have cats rabbits etc I will not be bothered. I have been around dogs since childhood and working with dogs is a dream of mine. If your dog needs medicine I have experience with that as well. I am extra gentle with senior dogs and can keep up with puppies I have a flexible schedule so I can work with your schedule. We can discuss your pets needs so I can accommodate your schedule easily. I follow owner instructions precisely and ask questions if anything seems unclear. Pet safety is always my number one priority. If I think a pet may not be safe for anyone I always reach out to the owner.
“Ethel is incredibly kind and such a dog lover! I really appreciated Ethel’s communication and care for my new dog, Kylo. My boy was adopted about a week ago and has a good amount of separation anxiety. He has broken out of 2 crates, 3 times😅 Ethel was available to house sit during the morning/early afternoon while I needed to be out of the house for work. I felt very comfortable leaving Kylo in her care. I would highly recommend Ethel’s services!”

“Stephanie is simply amazing. Our pups love her and she is so easy to work with, she’s great. Once we start planning a trip one of our first moves is to make sure Stephanie can house sit and pup sit our two pooches and once we know she’s able to, our trip planning always gets so much easier. Stephanie is a really hard worker and is often busy working, but when she’s staying with our pups she ALWAYS make sure she has quality time for our doggos and when we are out of town and she’s with our pups she gives us regular updates on how they’re doing, which are always very appreciated.”

About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.
“Rowan was excellent with my husky! He came over to meet her and familiarize himself with her routine, and he was very great with communicating his schedule and giving me updates on my dog. Would highly recommend Rowan!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home since i was 10 years old, as well as have taken care of family’s, friends’, and even professor’s pets. I consider myself to be both a cat and a dog person, and love playing with pets or just relaxing with them. I am able to care for pets of all ages and abilities and have experience with everything from puppies to sick cats and visually impaired senior dogs. I am a very active person that loves to be outside and go on walks. I have two dogs myself that I already play with and take for walks, so your pet can fit right in! I have a large yard for your pet to run around and play, and although it is not fenced in there are many long leashes to ensure that your pet feels free while still being secure. Yard has no hazards for your pet and house is located on a quiet street with few cars. There are two sets of stairs in my house that can be blocked off if necessary, as the entry level has more than everything your pet will need. Dogs can be crated if necessary.
“Alyssa was amazing! She took such good care of our Benny! She sent pictures and kept us posted. We will certainly have her come back anytime we will be gone. It was nice to be able to leave and not worry about our pet. Thank you Alyssa!”

Heather did a fabulous job of taking care of our three dogs, cat and turtle. She regularly sent updates and photos and all of our pets warmed up to her immediately. We could not have been more pleased with her service, communication and professionalism. Highly recommend.
Patrick took excellent care of my senior cat. He proactively sent me photos and let me know when he checked in on her. He sent photos almost daily which I appreciated. It was great to come home to a clean home and love on my cat. I'm grateful to have a great sitter closeby.
