About: Hi I’m Kelsey! I’d love to help you with your pet(s)! I’ve been pet sitting for years and have client testimonials I’d be happy to provide you with. Your pet will be in good hands! I will go above and beyond to truly spend time entertaining your pet and brightening their day while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including reactive dogs. I absolutely love spending time with animals and will truly treat your pet like my own. Speaking of my own, I have a boxer who is the absolute light of my life. I love him so much and spoil him rotten. I’ll treat your pet the same! Something you should know about me…When I walk into a house or business with a pet present that’s the first thing I’m paying attention to regardless of why I’m there. I work from home and love going on walks every day. I’d love to take your dog(s) with me on my next walk! Or if you need someone to stop by mid-day because you’re stuck in the office and just want someone to spend some time with your pet I can do that too. I’ll bring my computer with me! Did you think I forgot about cats? Never! I’d love to check in on your cat for you while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to visit your pet soon! I work remotely full time. I’m available most of the day for drop in visits and walks! I can come over in the morning for early morning walks before it gets too hot. I can come over mid-day for a lunch break walk or drop in visit. I can come in the evenings if you have somewhere to be after work and need peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of. I will take extra care of your pets in your home. I’ll ensure they have everything they need and extra attention while you’re away. I love a good couch cuddle moment with your pet, walks of any distance or length, and am happy to interact with them using whatever toys or things they may have to use or play with. Mental stimulation is very important for pets, especially while you’re away to help their minds and bodies relax. I can use puzzle games, slow feeders, lick mats, or any other things you have for your pet to give them mental stimulation. I take great pride in leaving a place better than I found it and I’ll be respectful of you, your pet, and your home while I’m visiting.

About: I’ve been around and caring for animals most of my life! I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting in my home. I have a super friendly dog who loves everyone, especially dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens. He truly has never met a stranger! I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I work from home most of the week, so I’m around and available for your pets! I go into the office once a week on Tuesdays, but otherwise I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. In my home, pets can free roam and make themselves comfortable in my apartment. I’m able to take them out for regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime, and my apartment also has an on-site dog park for some extra exercise! I also have a crate and a cozy bed available. If your pet is crate-trained, I’m happy to crate them while I’m away or at night if that’s part of their normal routine. I’m always happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions to help them feel safe and at home.

“Madeline is the best! She gives such incredibly detailed Rover reports and always sends tons of pics. I’m SO at peace when I travel knowing that my pup will be very well taken care of under Madeline! can’t recommend her enough :)”

About: We just moved to Chicago from another dog loving city, Austin! I love all animals and grew up riding horses and in a family that’s always had two dogs. My husband is similarly an animal lover and grew up with higher energy dogs - border collies. We have a four year old red golden retriever named Birdie 🤍 Before moving to Chicago recently, I volunteered at the Austin Animal Center and have fostered dogs with medical needs through the AAC as well. The golden rule: treat and care for every dog like we’d want our dog, Birdie, cared for. Dog’s safety is the number one priority (but I care a lot about a good treat and a fuzzy blanket too). My husband works from home full time and is flexible. I go into the office 1-2 days a week. We love to be outdoors and active so excited to get moving with a new pack in Chicago. I (Delaney!) am hybrid and go into the office 2ish days a week. Camp works from home and has a ton of flexibility. Our golden, Birdie, is super laid back and flexible which allows us to be too so we are able to flex on the best routine for the pets we walk and watch. We live right off of Oz Park which is amazing with Birdie. Totally open to coming to a pet’s home to watch them there or bring them into our home if they are potty trained.

“She was very kind and accommodating. Communication with her was very easy. We were able to schedule in an additional walk. My dogs seemed to have had a good time.”

About: I spent 10 amazing years with my dog Olive, including providing dedicated care for her as a senior with special needs. Working remotely means I can give your pet plenty of time and attention, whether they are energetic and playful or calm and cuddly. I love ‘em all! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily adapt my day around your pet’s needs. Whether they require frequent walks, playtime, or medication, that's no problem! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific instructions you provide and keep a close eye on their well-being at all times.

About: I've been a lifelong animal lover and am currently the proud dog mom of Dumpling, my 4-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix. Caring for my own dog has given me firsthand experience with daily walks, feeding routines, enrichment activities, training reinforcement, and understanding the unique personalities and needs that every dog has. In addition to caring for my own pet, I've also fostered dogs, helping them adjust to new environments, build confidence, and receive the patience and attention they need. Through fostering, I've gained experience working with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Friends and family have also trusted me to care for their pets while they're away, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My professional background has made me highly organized, communicative, and dependable. You can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether your dog loves long walks, active play, or simply having a calm companion around, I strive to create a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I have a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and I can also provide overnight care when needed. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so integrating pet care into my day feels seamless rather than restrictive. I always plan ahead to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, routine, and safety, whether in my home or the client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s specific schedule, including feeding times, walk routines, litter box or potty habits, and any medical or behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I aim to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for the pet. I follow all instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I also respect the home by keeping it clean and tidy, and I always make sure doors, gates, and any safety instructions are carefully followed. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship depending on their energy level and personality. For cats, I adjust to their comfort level-whether that means interactive play, feeding and litter care, or simply being a calm presence while they have space. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so pet parents feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for as if they were my own.

About: Having grown up with two dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and care. My experience has taught me how to effectively manage their needs, from training to health care, ensuring a balanced and happy environment for them. What sets me apart is my intuitive connection with dogs, honed through years of personal experience, which allows me to address their unique needs with empathy and expertise. I am available anytime between 8-5pm! If you’d need me after 5pm, we can coordinate the schedule. I’m also available the whole day on Saturday When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and environment to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. This involves adhering to the pet’s established schedule, providing consistent care and attention, and managing any specific needs or preferences they have. My approach includes clear communication with the client to address any concerns and ensure that their pet's well-being is upheld while they're away.

“Shadin did an excellent job and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend her :)”

“Heidi walked our dog for 4 days while we were out of town. I absolutely recommend her because she genuinely cares for each furbaby as if they were her own. She asked a lot of questions during her initial meeting with us and even took down her own notes. She was on time for each walk, gave detailed updates and sent a picture for every walk. I can tell she really cares and really made the extra effort to make sure my baby was comfortable and happy while we were away.”

About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of animals all my life. I have a 9 year old cat and 15 month old dog. They are my pride and joy. I also have experience with elderly dogs and cats. I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of time on my hands. I am available to pet sit all week and most weekends. I live in an apartment complex with a dog park. I also have a 15 month old pup who I take for walks at least 3 times a day. He’s great with other dogs both small and large and he lives with a cat. He’ll keep your pets company.

“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”

About: I grew up around dogs and something about them just always brightens my day up and a firm believer that dogs are always a good judge of character. I love seeing their faces light up when I mention going outside or for a walk but also enjoy winding down and getting comfortable for some down time. I’m currently available at all times of the day and evenings. What a better time to spend my days taking care of your loved ones. I have a spacious apartment in a very quiet and dog friendly neighborhood. There is also lots of green spaces within walking distance so your furry pals don’t get bored.

About: I’ve spent years caring for a variety of pets, from playful puppies to seniors needing extra TLC. My experience includes administering medications, basic obedience training, and keeping active dogs engaged with fun outdoor play. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while in my care. With a cozy home environment and plenty of space for exercise, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am an avid runner and hiker - and can make sure all dogs get the right level and type of exercise! As a fully remote employee, I have the flexibility to be home all day, ensuring your pets are never alone for long. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules or offering companionship, I’m always around to make sure your pets feel secure and happy. For every pet I care for, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets are welcomed into a secure, pet-friendly environment. My house is safe, secure and clean ensuring no dogs get into any trouble! Pets boarding in my home must be 100% friendly with no bite history. I have a lot of baby gates throughout my home to ensure all dogs get the appropriate rest and breaks from play based on their energy level and personality. I ensure a clean, comfortable space with plenty of supervision to keep them happy and secure. Your pet must be crate trained or able to relax behind a baby gate without being disruptive or causing damage (as I must be able to safely separate all pets when I leave the home for brief periods of time). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintaining your pet’s regular routines and offering updates for peace of mind. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and provide lots of affection and care to make sure they feel safe and comfortable, whether at home or away.

About: I have taken care of dogs since 12. I started taking care of my neighbor's puppy and another neighbor's senior dog. Since then, I have bounced between gigs with my neighbors' fur babies! I am currently in the job search for the summer, so my availability is wide open, though it could change. I will update my availability on the website if anything changes. Since I live in an apartment, I will likely not subject the animals to be stuck here with me all day. Instead, I will take them out to dog parks, walk trails like the Lady Bird or the Green Belt. With the owner's permission, I like to take the animals to get treats, like a pup cup. In the client's home, I have no trouble with crating, feeding, walking, and playing outside.

About: Hello Friends! I'm a reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 5 years of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I live two blocks from a dog park and right off the Lady Bird Lake trail, so if your pup loves to walk or go on a sniffari, say less. However, if your pet prefers lounging/cuddles, I’m happy to keep things calm and cozy at home; after all, it's their vacation too! I’m extremely attentive to each pet’s needs, routines, and quirks, and always treat pets like family. Whether it's active play or chill companionship, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Currently working full time in a hybrid role- 3 minute walk to my office. I am able walk home to accommodate any special pet needs, let them out, feed, etc. if I am working from my office that day; I usually go home during my lunch to see my doggo and let him out/go for a walk. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly. The property is gated and provides multiple open areas for pets to hang out, go to the bathroom, and/or exercise. My home has multiple rooms if you require your pet to be crated or would like their own space. I also live close to Lady Bird trail for walks and a couple blocks away from a dog park if your pet loves to be social! My dog and I average about 3-5 miles throughout the day and can accommodate your pet's needs as well!

“Kirren was great and super communicative! She sent pictures throughout her day with Sully and took great care of him! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
