About: I have had dogs in my life from a very young age and have worked in both a vet clinic and a boarding kennel doing both basic care and doggie daycare. I am familiar with many common ailments affecting dogs as well as specialized diets and administering medicine. I have also done basic grooming on dogs such as baths, brush outs and nail trims. As part of all this, I'm not easily grossed out by the smelly and messy things common to pet care. I firmly believe pets are a part of the family and deserve to be given just as much love and respect as people! I'm a fan of all sizes and breeds and would love to help care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Justina was so great with our puppy, we are so grateful for the care, clear communication, adorable pics, and thoughtful gift as well! We would definitely love to have Justina come back anytime!”

“Absolutely wonderful! I work weird hours so I was looking for someone to walk my dog to daycare for me while I’m at work. Christopher is great with my lil pup and sent pictures and updates which is much appreciated! I worry a lot about my pets but it is such a relief to have found someone I can trust will take good care of my little guy when I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“great communications, right on time, dogs were happy and felt good to go with Walter, who has a very calm energy. Will hire again if we are back in Chicago.”

“Anana was available last minute when I had an emergency trip and was a life saver! She was incredibly communicative, always kept us up to date with the walk card and pictures, and was wonderful for Tully while we were gone! We absolutely would recommend her for your pet car needs.”

“Jeannie is great! She’s very friendly and responsive. She also goes above and beyond helping our pooch with additional support since she is suffering a back injury.”

“Valerie was great! She was easy to work with to set up our meet and greet and then a few visits. She was very communicative both before and during the visits. Our dog was not feeling great, and Valerie took extra care with her and helped us feel okay with being away. We definitely hope to use Valerie's pet services again!”

“Carson was great with our two bulldogs! Very communicative, asked great questions during our meet and greet, and the boys had some great walks with him when I was gone. Would definitely hire again. Thanks, Carson!”


“Absolutely clutchy-mc-clutch. When another sitter bailed last minute (despite having been booked a month prior) Chris found time to come by to meet me, my terrible/wonderful beasties, and was a 100 percent reliable and clear communicator during his visits. The reviews below are absolutely accurate - if he serves your area and is available, book him without hesitation.”

About: I provide dog walking and drop-in visits focused on keeping pets safe, exercised, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk or a quick check-in with playtime and cuddles, I treat every pet like my own pup at home. I have a very flexible schedule on Tuesday/Wednesday, Friday and Sundays, so am happy to coordinate with you to determine what works best for you and your pup(s). I understand that your pet’s safety and well-being is number one priority. I’m mindful of secure entry/exit, proper leash handling, and maintaining a safe home environment. I always follow routines closely, and I will ensure communication with you as the owner every step of the way.
“Barbara was very attentive and punctual. She walked, fed and cuddled with Zelda during their time together. Would l highly recommend and can’t wait for the next time.”

About: I'm a patient and experienced pet care professional with years of experience taking care of varieties of pets all over Chicago. I have given extra gentle care to senior dogs, diligent attention to pets with behavioral difficulties, and even insulin injections for diabetic kitties. I am comfortable and capable with transportation, giving medicine, and caring for pets in all weather and timely manners. Importantly, I am also clean and respectful to your home! I currently work from home and make my own schedule, so I am able to take on sittings and walks during the weeks, weekends, and busy morning or daytimes. I am diligent and communicative with in-home care. Following instructions, texting or emailing updates with pictures. I am always cognizant of shoes and paws and careful to not leave messes. I tend to bike or take public transit, but I do have access to a car in case of last minute requests or emergencies.
“Briana helped us out when we needed to find a new dog walker quickly. She was very responsive and helpful. She gave our dog a lot of care and attention during his walks.”

“Kaite is very friendly and communicative. My senior pup comes with some mobility challenges but she was patient and made sure he enjoyed his walk. Would recommend and will be using again!”
About: **Hello Manhattan! Thank you for allowing me to watch your pets this past year and a half! It has been such a rewarding experience. I have met and befriended so many sweet cats and dogs. I have now graduated and will be moving for a job out of state at the end of this month. I will have limited availability for the month of September and will no longer be providing services in October. I wish all of you well!** I have been taking care of a variety of animals since I was a kid! My family had a hobby farm where I cared for chickens, ducks, dairy goats, cats, dogs, and even chihuahuas. So I can handle and love just about any type of pet you might have :D Now I have my own cat who I absolutely love. I have even trained him to do a few tricks. With me, your pet will be in excellent hands! I am a graduate student in Food Science and have a pretty flexible schedule. I am also always in town over breaks and most weekends. I'm available to come drop in to check on your pets, feed, brush, play with, and walk them as well as let them out for potty breaks.
“Sarah is the best! She is very responsive and always sending updates/pictures throughout her stay. She treated Olive so well and played with her after her walks. She goes above and beyond to ensure your fur baby is well taken care of. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Sarah!”

Nicole is responsive to my dog’s needs and gives detailed comments about each walk. She is communicative and proactive in planning, and stays flexible when schedules change. My dog Bob has been picky in the past, but he has loved his walks and time with Nicole! I highly recommend her as your trusted dog walker!

Just got home and a huge thank you to Tetiana for taking care of our fur babies while we were gone! Her daily updates made it much easier for us to enjoy a mini vacation! Thank you thank you thank you! Tetiana is very good with all animals and was very professional!

Dilrose has been really wonderful during the decompression phase for my newly adopted pet. They have been accommodating, flexible, commutative, and patient with both his adjustment and my scheduling hiccups. I am so appreciative of all the help. Highly recommend!

I cannot speak more highly of Parisa. I’ve been working from home this week and getting to see how happy my dog is to see her makes my heart happy. Parisa is genuinely so sweet to my senior dog. I know that Parisa takes care with her and is aware of and helps to keep her old joints safe. I just really appreciate how awesome Parisa is! Thank you Parisa!

This is the first time we've hired a dog walker for Rambo, so I was a bit anxious. I asked isaac to walk him 3 times during a day that we were going to be gone. He came to the house a couple of weeks before to meet Rambo and do a test run around the block. The day we were gone he arrived exactly on time and took Rambo on walks that were even longer than we take him on. He also played with him and sent us photos. All in all a good experience and I would hire Isaac again.

Emily is a great sitter. She has been super patient with my shy dog who is now very comfortable with her. It has been hard for me to find someone that he is comfortable with as he is shy and VERY stubborn, and it has been great seeing him grow in confidence with her.
