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, with limited availability after 7 PM. 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.

“Diana takes great care of my boys and was a lifesaver when I got diverted flying home, being able to add in an additional stop the next morning so that they would have breakfast and some cuddles while I was trying to get back to Chicaho!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life from the very beginning. Growing up with pets of all kinds, I’ve cared for them through every stage— from playful babies to their golden years. With a grandfather who was a veterinarian, I learned firsthand how to provide competent, thoughtful care. More importantly, I believe that animals communicate their needs, and I pride myself on listening to and understanding them. Whether it’s companionship, care, or just a little extra love, I’m here to support your pets like my own. I make my own schedule and can care for pets on any schedule that best suits their needs. I care for my own two dogs every day, the more the merrier. I provide a structured yet flexible routine for my dogs. They eat freely, are only crated at night, and go on three daily walks. Since I don’t have a yard, I take them on long walks or to the park for exercise and enrichment. Obedience training is a regular part of our routine, keeping them mentally and physically engaged.

“Stephanie was fantastic! She left detailed reports and great photos of Perry. They seemed to get along well and he was in good spirits when I returned, ready to resume their playtime routine. Definitely recommend for attentive catsitting!”

About: We are Sarah and Tom, two passionate and experienced dog walkers dedicated to giving your dog the exercise, attention, and care that they need. With 15 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, we understand the importance of providing a safe and enjoyable experience for your pets while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys leisurely strolls through the park, energetic runs, or playful outings, we tailor each walk to suit your dog's unique needs and preferences. We also offer additional services like drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime to ensure your pet's day is full of love and care. Your dog’s well-being is our top priority, and we treat each walk as an opportunity to bond and ensure your dog stays happy, healthy, and active. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a walk! We look forward to meeting you and your dog! Sarah is a part-time Teacher with plenty of time to care for your dog. Tom works full time with children with disabilities but is able to assist on nights, weekends, and holidays. We are able to honor last minute requests in the West Town neighborhood. When we care for pets in our own home, the environment is designed to be safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly. Here’s how we ensure your dog's well-being: 1. Safe and Pet-Friendly Space: Our home is pet-proofed. We also provide cozy beds or blankets in quiet areas for pets to rest. If the pet has specific preferences (e.g., sleeping on a couch, in a crate, or in their own space), we make sure they’re accommodated. We have designated areas for play with plenty of space for them to move around and explore. 2. Exercise and Outdoor Time: You dog will have regular walks and time to play. We make sure to take your pet on regular walks to meet their exercise needs. 3. Routine and Structure: Consistency is so important. We maintain a consistent feeding, bathroom, and play schedule to ensure the pet feels secure and has structure in their day. 4. Health and Wellness: We ensure your dog is fed according to their specific dietary restrictions and preferences, including portion control and timing. Administering Medications: If necessary, we carefully follow instructions to administer any medications your dog may require. Caring for Pets in Your Home: When we're caring for pets in your home, we follow your established routine and focus on making them feel comfortable in their own environment. Here’s how we provide care in your home: 1. Respecting Your Space: We will maintain your dog's familiar routines. We make sure to stick to your dog's usual schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, and sleep schedules. Familiarity helps reduce stress, especially for pets that may experience separation anxiety. Use of Familiar Items: Your dog will use their own bed, toys, and comfort items to make them feel secure in their own space. Familiar scents and surroundings are comforting. 2. Maintaining a Safe Environment: We will ensure that your home is safe and secure, checking for any potential hazards or areas the pet shouldn’t access. We make sure doors and gates are securely closed to prevent escapes. 3. Respecting House Rules: We will follow your instructions for the pet’s behavior in the home (e.g., whether the dog is allowed on furniture, where they’re allowed to sleep, etc.). 4. Daily Activities: Your dog will have walks and outdoor time. We ensure your dog gets daily exercise with walks and play, sticking to the routes they enjoy. Mental Stimulation: We engage pets in puzzle games, training sessions, and interactive toys to keep their minds active. 5. Health and Well-Being: We follow any dietary instructions precisely, ensuring your dog receives the correct food at the right times. If your dog needs medication, we administer it as directed. We will keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, eating habits, or health concerns. If something seems off, we'll contact your immediately and, if necessary, visit the vet. 6. Communication and Updates: We will send you regular updates (texts, pictures, videos) to keep you updated and let you know that your dog is doing well and happy. Emergency Plan: We keep emergency contact information handy in case we need to take your dog to the vet, and we follow the client’s instructions for such situations. 7. Cleaning and Care: We make sure to clean up after your dog—whether it's picking up waste during walks or cleaning pet bowls, bedding, and toys. We leave the house as tidy as we found it, ensuring the pet’s living space remains clean and comfortable. 8. End-of-Visit Routine: Before leaving your home, we will ensure that your dog has access to food, water, and a comfortable resting area, leaving them in a calm, secure state. Whether in our home or your home, our goal is to provide personalized care based on the pet’s needs, making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you are away. Open communication is key, so we can adjust care as needed and provide the best experience for your dog.

“Joel was fantastic and made sure my pup was fed and got his walks in while I was out of town for a long weekend. Joel and my dog immediately became friends, and he provided pictures and consistent updates while I was away!”
