About: from fish, to chickens, to ducks, to birds, to cats and dogs, I've pet-sat them all! I regularly pet-sit for a friend whose house we affectionally call "the farm" because it has all these animals! I work at a school 8-3pm. During the holidays my schedule is quite flexible to take care of your more needy pets, and during the rest of the year I'm happy to hang with your low-maintenance furry friends! I take detailed notes on instructions from pet-owners on our initial meeting and repeatedly refer back to them throughout my stay. as for the pups, I love to walk them, especially the adventurous ones who are excited for a hike or longer adventure!

About: What sets me apart is my background as an experienced veterinary technician. I can confidently care for senior pets, administer medications (including injections), recognize early signs of illness, and provide skilled, compassionate care for pets with special medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize building trust with both pets and their families through dependable, personalized care. I’m currently providing pet care full-time, which means I have the flexibility to give your furry family member the time, attention, and personalized care they deserve. Whether they need companionship, playtime, medication, or extra TLC, I’m committed to providing compassionate, skilled care while you’re away. When caring for your pet in their own home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep your home tidy, respect your instructions, and send regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

“William was fantastic caring for our cats! He was easy to coordinate with and it obvious how much he cared for the cats. I am sure they will miss him!”

“Angelique was so helpful and patient. My dog is on crate rest and isn't a lot of fun to sit for right now. Angelique basically sat by her side for the entire visit.”

“Tracy was amazing, went out of her way to make the visits a fun experience for our frenchie. She kept us up to date with sweet notes and photos. We will absolutely reach out to her next time we need care. Highly recommended!”

About: Initially, I started dog sitting in 2017 for mostly my friends who were dog moms and dads. Slowly, (w/ permission of course), my clientele started to grow as my friends were recommending me to other folks they knew. It worked out well since I didn’t have my own pup though I had always wanted to have my own pup. I haven’t made the step to fully commit to a long term furry partner of my own so instead (at least for the time being), I’ve committed to taking care of your pup with the utmost care and consideration. I work part time so I’m available and usually at home for a large part of my week. When I am at work, I’m away from home for five hours only. One day out of the week, I work an eight hour shift. Outside of work, I love grocery shopping, going to the park, hiking, visiting friends, & hanging out w/ my partner. Your pup would be involved in all activities. :) I have a fenced yard that only I and my neighbor have access to. I also live a five minute walk to a dog and kid friendly neighborhood park. I would walk your pup 2-3 times daily. I love taking walks so your pup will definitely get some exercise. Play time is a must. I have puzzle toys, chew toys and squeaky toys for your pup to enjoy. Your pup is allowed to be on furniture and my bed (as long as they’ve had a bath) otherwise most do prefer their own bed and space. Food and water are replenished daily and medication is given if needed. Once its bed time, I make sure that your pup is close and comfortable.

“Olivia is the best! she genuinely cares about animals and was so patient with all my cat’s needs. she is really communicative and wonderful to work with. I came back to a clean and tidy house, which I very much appreciate! my cat also loved her and they got along so well. I 100% recommend her services and look forward to booking with her again! <3”

“Would hire MT again in a sec! We took a quick weekend trip and needed someone to drop in on our little cat. This was the first time we hired a Rover after the start of the pandemic and also the first time in a new city, so we felt a bit nervous but felt like MT would be a good fit for us. They are an excellent, prompt, and thoughtful communicator, and treated our home with respect. And Cantaloupe clearly loved hanging out with them. Thanks for everything, MT! It was a relief to leave the little one with someone we could trust.”

About: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priority, and I believe the best way to achieve that is by keeping things as familiar as possible. I stick closely to your pet's normal routine - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications - so they feel safe and at ease whether you are home or away. I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely patient with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs plenty of activity or is a more laid-back companion who just wants some quiet company, I adapt to whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they require. From managing medications and limited mobility to providing gentle companionship and a calm environment, I am experienced in making older dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after. Communication is something I take seriously. I know how much you love your pet, and I never want you to wonder how they are doing. You can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I am a freelancer who works from home with a flexible schedule, which means I am around the house throughout the day and can plan my entire routine around your pet's needs. When I am in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. My goal is simple - to make sure your furry family member feels loved, cared for, and right at home until you return. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a freelancer who works from home, I have the flexibility to structure my entire day around your pet's needs. Throughout the day I take regular breaks from work to check in, play, and spend quality time with any pets in my care. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought - they are always my priority. To give your pet the best possible care, I love learning as much about them as I can before we get started. Knowing their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs helps me make sure they feel right at home. I also like to understand their personality - how they interact with other dogs and people, any quirks or preferences, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them the way you would

About: Hi, I'm Izzy, a life long dog lover. I was lucky enough to grow up with two chocolate labs, Charlie Brown and Hodgepodge and am currently raising Kayla, a senior rescue dog. Kayla came into my life reactive and anxious, but I have proudly helped her grow into a relaxed and confident dog who can play nicely with other dogs. I have years of part time dog walking under my belt and can work with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I'm active and energetic so ready to take your dog on long walks through parks and hilly streets! My schedule is super flexible so I'm happy to work around you and your desired walk times. I can also stay over at your place for overnight dog sitting. I am organized, bright and detail oriented, so if you give me instructions for care in your home, I'm on it. I have experience with senior dogs (administering pills, etc), reactive dogs, and puppies. Above all, I am clean, caring and respectful to all people and animals!

About: Hi! Ilya here. I’m an Honors grad of the Academy for Dog Trainers with my Certificate in Training and Counseling. I'm also a certified Animal Trainer through Fear Free Pets. I help prevent fear in puppies and build confidence in fearful dogs. I help parents and parents-to-be have an easier time giving their dogs and kids safe and positive experiences with each other. I do this with weekly sessions. I offer support in between sessions individualized for you. Before dog training, I worked as a wildlife biologist. I live in Highland Park with my partner, our toddler, and dog Trixie. I have flexibility weekdays 9 am - 5 pm. Dog training is my full-time job (when I'm not taking care of our kiddo and doggo). I offer drop-in visits, dog training, supportive + enrichment walks, and behavior consulting. If we are training together, our sessions will be in-person or virtual to best meet your training goals.
