“Sheena was great and went above and beyond to make sure my fur kiddo was well taken care of. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away.”

“Salem loves Obie and I couldn’t be more grateful! They were a joy to have over for a little meet and greet with my pup Obie. He is an opinionated sassy cattle dog and would not do well with a stranger coming in unannounced! Fortunately, he loves Salem and is getting more confident each walk they do. They always give me picture and text updates while walking! I could be happier with our new dog walker ! Thanks Salem!”

“Valerie is the best! She walks our big 85lb dog who doesn’t love saying hello to other dogs and she is always so conscientious about avoiding other dogs on their walks!”

“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.”

“Chase is the best dog walker Ive ever had! His love of animals is obvious. He’s personable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond what is expected of him. I thank my ‘lucky stars’ I found him!”

“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.”

“Sarah was so great with Marshall and provided many updates along the way! She followed all of our instructions and made sure Marshall was happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and Marshall is excited to see her again too!”

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.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up caring for them by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of love and attention. I also worked with children for 7 years, which helped me develop strong responsibility, communication skills, patience, and the ability to stay calm and caring in different situations. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I’m available throughout the day and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention and care. My schedule is open during the day until 3. Unfortunately if no response from pet owners ahead of walk etc I will not walk dog. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well attended to at all times. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely by providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, attention, and any specific instructions requested by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship and exercise while keeping their environment clean, calm, and stress free.
“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.”

“Katie was very easy to work with! She was responsive and very willing to handle our older pup who needs to be carried. She kept me in the loop how things went. We would for sure use her again!”

“Tetiana is a genuine life saver. I had a flight cancel and got stuck out of state and she very last minute agreed to care for my dog. Also, I have Furbo, the doggy video camera device to check on my dog. About a week ago I happen to be trying to show a coworker my dog using the Furbo app. I accidentally did it at the same time Tetiana was picking up my dog, she of course had no idea. I saw her come in. My dog starts wagging his tail very happy to see her. She bent down and made a circle with her arms. My dog just jumped into her arms and off they went for a walk. It was so sweet. I was so happy my best friend clearly had another best friend in Tetiana. I could not recommend her any higher. She is perfection.”

“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!”
“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!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, including my childhood cat Palette who I cared for through college, and my current cat Cookie for the past 9 years. I’ve also pet sat for friends over the years, including walking dogs, feeding, and giving medications when needed. I grew up caring for a variety of animals including turtles, goats, and chickens, which gave me broad hands-on animal experience and comfort with different temperaments and care needs. I recently finished PA school and am currently waiting to start my first job, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care throughout the week. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine with my own cat, Cookie, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, keeping them comfortable, cared for, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, belongings, and routines, and I aim to keep pets’ schedules as normal and consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, feeding schedules, medications, and each pet’s individual personality and needs.

About: I’ve had many different breeds of cats and dogs since I was very young that I helped take care of. I started taking care of my own cat and several of my friends around 18 as well as young dogs that I helped to train. I just moved to Chicago from Central Illinois and am currently on the hunt for a job. So my days and weeks are currently very free! Making sure your pets are safe, happy and comfortable are my top priority!! I keep in mind the pets personality and needs throughout my time with them.

Lina was an absolute lifesaver! She was able to squeeze in our dog for a last-minute week of walks! The day before our dog had an unexpected procedure done and required a little more TLC than she usually does, and Lina was just the person for it! She kept me up to date on how our dog was doing and gave her extra love! We will be using Lina again and I highly recommend her!

Sophia is the absolute best, I could not recommend her more. This is the second booking she’s looked after our puppy Poppy and she’s been fabulous every time. Poppy was spayed 3 days ago, and Sophia got her to take all her pills (no small feat as our girl is very squirmy) and is incredibly patient, caring, and attentive. We are so thrilled to know Sophia and she is our go-to for puppy care.

Allene has been a fantastic dog walker - communicative, punctual, and great positive energy for Rango - he always nearly wags his tail off when she arrives to take him! Allene does a nice recap at the end of the walk to let us know what the walk was like and what Rango was up to. We’re happy to have Allene booked for recurring walks with Rango and know he’s in great hands!

Maya is the BEST! I had an event to attend and she made sure my baby was taken care of through out the whole day! She stopped by twice , took Chuco on 2 walks and even feed him dinner for me! I couldn’t be more grateful. My dog, Chuco, is always in a better mood when he gets to spend time with Maya!
