My son who typically walks our dog broke his foot leaving me the sole dog walker of our 80lb puppy. That is until one morning I woke up with the flu! Within an hour Bradlei was at our door ready to tackle the cold elements and a brand new dog. Without much direction she took control and walked our beloved ‘Pancake’. Bradlei saved the day and came back twice that day. She is professional ,communicative, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her and her dog walking services!

About: I have taken care of animals most of my life. I currently have 5 animals myself so I know how each one of your fur babies requires special care. I would treat them as my own and look after them with the utmost care. I am currently available most days and times. All I ask is a few hours heads up so i can get everything situated. Same day requests are available and im willing to meet before hand so you could get to know me. I have a fenced in yard. I have 4 dogs and a cat that are all trained to be around other dogs and cats. I also have 2 animals that are on medication so I'm used to making sure everyone gets their proper medications on time.

I used Annie for a few walks with my 2.5yr old lab and she was amazing! She took her for nice walks and even hung out with her in the yard, as my dog loves to sunbathe. Winnie can be hesitant with new people, but you can tell from the pictures she sent that she loved having Annie here! Thanks so much and will definitely be using her again! Highly recommended!

About: Hi there! I'm a proud cat parent of 3+ years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From feeding and litter cleaning to playtime and snuggles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. While I don’t have a dog of my own (yet!), I’m confident in my ability to give your pup the same level of care and attention. Every visit is filled with love, patience, and thoughtful updates to give you peace of mind. Your fur babies are in kind, capable hands 🐾💛 I’m a full-time college student and also work part-time, but I always make time for pet care! I’m available Monday through Thursday after 4 PM and can occasionally accommodate weekend bookings with some notice. I own two sweet cats—Luna, who’s calm and quiet, and Star, who’s playful and full of energy! I have tons of cat toys and love keeping them happy and loved. My whole family are cat lovers, and we treat our pets like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

About: Natural born dog whisperer. Wanted a Pit bull ended up with a Chihuahua. I truly believe Cuco, my dog, was my animal soulmate. Although he has since passed, I loved caring for him full time and now hope to have the opportunity to care for your pup part time. I am a patient walker — even if that means infinite stops to sniff stuff. Will always speak to them as I would to a human child. Plus, no human children in household only your pet child. Can help with potty training and social/public anxiety relief. Guaranteed good belly rubs, affection, and fresh bowl of water/food at all times under my care. I’d be thrilled to take very photogenic pictures of them and send them your way along with updates. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions and/or concerns. I am a remote employee and am home 100% of the time with your pet. Pups are welcomed to join me for a day of work, enjoy window views (bark at delivery drivers) and take all the naps desired. Sliding door for them to look outside while inside. Indoor cameras to keep an eye on pup if up to trouble from my office. Designated space in the living room, kitchen, office, and loft for them. This is our home, and we hope to make your pup feel right at home too—pups are allowed on all furniture (couches, human beds). My partner Martin also lives here—he’s a very loving caretaker of dogs and often helps keep them busy on weekends or when he’s not at work.

About: I've had the privilege of caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I've helped my parents train (through training classes and at home), walk, feed, bathe and enrich both of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pups for the last 15 years. I also had the opportunity to take care of my roommate's two gorgeous cats in college. In October 2023, I rescued my own kitty that I care for night and day. When I’m not lounging with Zilla, I like to spend time with my friends and family, try new restaurants with my boyfriend, exercise, and jam out to music in my car. I've done many overnight stays at friends’ and family members’ homes while pet sitting, and I encourage you to browse my testimonials to learn more about how passionate I am about nurturing animals. I have experience with: - puppies/kittens - adult dogs/cats - dogs of all sizes I also work full-time at a marketing agency focused exclusively on the pet industry, so I've learned an immense amount of information about pet health, pet care, pet safety and breed-specific behaviors/characteristics. My current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. I look forward to becoming your local, trusted pet sitter! As mentioned, my current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. Monday evenings and Tuesday's are the only times I'm usually unavailable. Feel free to message me to discuss my availability as needed - I can be flexible! I'm happy to stay overnight at your home to make your pet(s) feel more comfortable. You know your pet best, so I'll make sure to follow the instructions you give me and make the experience as stress-free as I possibly can for your pet(s). I'll make sure your pet is on a leash/harness whenever I take them outside (unless you have a backyard that is fenced in, of course), and will avoid interactions with other animals during walks if you have a reactive pet.

Jessica is reliable and friendly! Our pup, Hank, is very excited for his walk days with her. We did a meet and greet and could tell Hank and Jessica would become fast friends. Jessica is a good communicator, sending walk updates and confirming weekly schedules. We highly recommend Jessica and appreciate the positive experience we’ve had with her!

About: I grew up with a Great Pyrenees, a Bichon Frise and 2 cats. Since then I have had many beloved pets of my own. I have cared for them through all stages of life, in sickness and in health. I feel completely comfortable with any medications or extra care your fur baby may require. Over the years I have cared for many of my friend's and neighbor's pets when they have been out of town. I have also groomed friend's and neighbor's animals, including nail trimming, toothbrushing and ear cleaning. I love to walk, and be outside, a game of fetch, yes please! I will care for your pets as if they were my own! I have recently moved back from Florida to Chicago. Shortly after my beloved dog Arby lost her battle to lymphoma. I miss our 2 hour morning and afternoon game of catch. I have open availability, and can care for your pets whenever the need be. I have 2 cats that have grown up around dogs and kids, they are both up in age, but are super friendly and very chill. I have a fenced in yard. I love to walk and play catch. I don't mind having to clean up an accident, and feel comfortable caring for animals that require some extra TLC.

About: I am a professional walker looking to make more doggy friends! I am very compassionate and patient with the animals, and I follow instructions completely. I haven't met a dog i haven't got along with, and i treat each one like they were a member of my own family. I make sure to be very consistent because to me being able to take care of your'e pet is a gift in itself. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small mammals. I am looking to get more clients to make this my full time job. I'll try out any bad dog (if you think your dog qualifies). I am available for walking and sitting in your residence. Why I love dog sitting I always loved animals, but i was never allowed to own one :( . So i learned to live vicariously through others. The best way to do that was to walk, and I basically fall in love with any dog I meet!

About: Please read all the way through before booking! And note that I do give discounts for overnight stays /House sitting if you live in my neighborhood (Reedwood) as it makes things easier for me! Most weekdays are currently unavailable for more bookings due to the nature of my work schedule. I am open to sitting for all types of animals! I love to be outdoors, so walking and playing with your pet will be a treat for both me and them. I’m also cool with a little snuggle bug watching tv on the couch! I’ve walked and spent time with dogs of all shapes and sizes through volunteer work at a shelter in SK. You can count on me to love your pet as my own while I’m with them. I have no problem giving medication or any other special needs your dog might have. - I require meet & greets. - All pets must be up to date on vaccines. - All pets must be in generally good health. - I am not able to offer constant care during daytime hours on weekdays. (Additional costs will be applied for constant care). - Please let me know all about their personality, quirks, and habits! House Sitting notes: Every sitter uses this service a bit differently. For my services, house sitting = staying overnight in your home and caring for the pet between 5pm - 8am and 1 drop in around noon. Any additional needs require additional drop-in costs because I am not able to stay in your home the entire day (I must care for my own pet and another client daily). Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any! I'd love to hang out with your pet and work out a schedule! I have another dog I walk regularly outside of rover between 12-1 on weekdays. My home has a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, our house is small but we live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of good places to walk and sniff!
