“Lauren was great with my 5 fur-kiddos! One of my dogs is very skiddish around anyone new. Lauren came by for two separate meet and greets and we did a "practice" visit before I left for vacation for a week. She went slow and earned my dogs trust quickly. They became fast friends, which put my mind at ease while being away.”


“Maja was so kind and careful with my dog Lily. She provided very detailed communication regarding her visits, and sent pictures. She was wonderful! Would absolutely recommend!”


“Natalie was a fantastic choice for taking care of our cat! She was super communicative leading up to her visits, made sure he ate his food, and played with him to get his zoomies out. As an overworried cat mom, she made me feel a lot better by making sure he was well taken-care of while we were gone”


“Heather was great with our dog Kemah. She is scared of storms and wind and Heather went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable and safe. Great communication and very reliable. Thanks Heather!”


“Madison was absolutely amazing! I had only had Lia for a week and was nervous about leaving her so soon, especially as she was still adjusting to a new environment. But Madison made the whole experience incredibly easy and stress-free. She was communicative, responsive, and sent thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear that Lia was not just well cared for, but genuinely happy spending time with her. I’m so grateful to have found Madison—she’ll definitely be my first call in the future!”


About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.

“Lydia stepped in at the last minute. I had a wedding out of state & my pet care arrangements fell through. I was really in a bind. Lydia took good care of my senior dog who needed medication & special care. She has been a life saver.”


“Stacey was so great with our cats, left detailed info each day, and was so helpful with other things while we were out of town like watering our garden and taking out trash. We will definitely work with her again the next time we need a pet sitter?”



About: I have been taking care of animals all my life, from the pets I grew up with (dogs, cats and horses) to my first job at a small boarding kennel. I grew that love of animals to becoming a vet tech for the past 4 years so I'm well versed in all pets and ailments that come with them. I can medicate and assist with limited mobility creatures of all shapes and sizes. I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend's! I schedule my days with walks, feedings, and playtime in mind, ensuring each furry client gets the individual attention and love they deserve. I am experienced in meeting pets on their terms and in their environment. I am also respectful of others spaces and their own pets requirements (needing to be crated, etc.).

“Jackson has been a great addition to my pups week. He spends quality time and takes care of my pup like she is his own. Very patient with shy dogs. I would highly recommend.”

“It is so comforting to go out of town knowing that your furry friends are in such good hands. Summer spent time with the cats during her visits and gave us updates with pictures each time.I highly recommend her to those looking for a reliable and knowledgeable pet sitter.”


About: I have had a dog since I was a child. I have also house and dog/cat sat multiple times, including dogs with specific needs & medications they need to be given daily. I am currently on a clinical rotation for Physical Therapy in Hoffman Estates! I am available in earlier on T/Th (before 10:30) and later on M/W/F (3:30 and on)! I will provide them with daily walks, any medications they need as well as special care that is needed to best care for your pet. I am happy to and will stay overnight

About: I have a lot of experience finding other people's dogs. I found many of them running free, so I helped the animals back to their homes. Because I'm a pretty fit guy, it would be hard for anything other than a giant dog to throw me around. I work from home, making my own schedule. I can pretty much check in on pets whenever necessary. If need be, I could also check in on pets during the weekend, but my wife might join me for puppy or kitty adventures. For the most part, I simply follow the instructions for anyone that needs me to pet sit. I feed, water, and play how owners request. Besides that, I give the proper amount of attention to pets based on what they want. Animals who want cuddles will be held. Pets who want space will be left alone. I follow the same principles for my own pets; but my cats are not allowed outside, and my dog is never allowed off leash. I live next to a busy road. I would be heartbroken if anything ever happened to them.

About: I have always been a pet lover. I work alot of weekends but always home during the week! Does your pet need special care? Look no further!!!!! I spoil every baby that comes into my home!!!!!! When I amhome, I am HOME!! I work on the road so much i don't go anywhere else i have to!!!! I will do pickups and drop offs!!!! I have crate but do not use them unless told to. I have experience with babies that need emotional support humans just as much as we need them as emotional support pets!!!

About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!
