“Jennifer was a lifesaver for us in walking our pup while we were out of town. She was very flexible and accommodating and did a great job communicating updates throughout walks. Definitely recommend and will book again!”

About: Hi, I’m Samantha! I’ve had all types of pets my whole life and enjoy taking care of animals big or small. I’m a Veterinary Assistant with knowledge on animal temperaments and proper care. I've worked with animals with diverse medical conditions, including my own pets. I am able to recognize signs of discomfort or distress, which will allow me to notify you if any concerns arise during my visit. During my free time I spend it with my 8 fur-babies. I have experience with dogs, cats, ferrets, and guinea pigs. I would love to meet your animals! I treat each pet as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention as possible. Due to my veterinary background, I'm comfortable and experienced with 🐾cat grooming (nail trims) 🐾dog grooming (nail trims) 🐾giving subcutaneous fluids I bring professional and loving care to every visit. Whether your pet needs an attentive drop-in, an enriching walk, or a calm presence for medication time I am there to help! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of free time to meet and play with your furbabies! I am available weekends during the evenings, along with open availability on Monday's, Tuesday's, Thursday's and Friday's. I will maintain your pets routine and closely follow care instructions given. All while providing interaction, affection, and care while you are away. Your pets safety is my number on priority. I will send updates regularly, along with photos/videos!

“I met Amanda a day before her first walk with my boy Maddux and they hit it off right away. She’s great with dogs and would definitely use her again!”

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm usually out of the house between 9:30pm and 2am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment.

About: I know its hard to trust someone with your best fur pal. After all, pets are far more than just a roommate that doesnt pay rent; they truly become family. With that being said, I make a strong effort to continually keep pet parents updated on their beloved baby. I maintain constant communication and will always ask "silly" questions before making any kind of decisions regarding the pets in my care. Im very aware that pet parents are giving me the ultimate privilege of caring for their pets and I intend to uphold such privilege 🙏🐾. My active lifestyle allows me to provide stimulating + fun exercises & activities for doggies of all kind. I hope to meet you + your fur pal very soon, say WOOF! 🐾 I am a full time rover sitter, and I maintain an active lifestyle. I love being outdoors and taking walks at Montrose Dog beach in Chicago. Dogs parks are also a common place we like to visit Feed all dogs separately if multiple dogs are in my home. Access to water 24/7, I have multiple water bowls around my apartment. 1 cage in case someone needs private time. Trips to the dog park under owner's consent.

About: I’ve taken care of my two dogs ever since I was a little girl, when no one else were able to provide for them. I love my dogs to death and enjoy being around dogs. Enjoying the company of other dogs is the reason why I chose this job. Pet care fits into my daily/weekly routine because I love walking/running outside during the day. It helps me get my steps in and I love nature walks. It helps me get a breath of fresh air and relieve my mind. Being around animals makes me really happy and I love their energy. My two dogs are more than enough to melt my heart so I cannot imagine what more furries will do! I have a nice tall fence with a perfect sized back yard for dogs to run around and play in! I have two friendly dogs who adore any company by any furry babies! But if needed to separate, I can always accommodate to that as well!

“Cheyenne is great with the dogs, she takes great care of them and she’s very attentive. I know my dogs love it when she walks them. I really recommend her to everyone.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years now. I’ve taken care of many dogs from my moms clients dogs, my family dogs, my sisters dog and her friends dogs. This is something that I enjoy doing and I will make sure that I give the care that your dog deserves. To keep them entertained and engage with them. I’m currently working part time. So I have plenty of time on my hands and my schedule is very flexible! I also have a car so I haven’t problem commuting. I have a big fenced yard to keep your fur ball safe and a lot of room for them to run around. I’m very detail oriented so I’ll follow any schedule you give me and keep their dietary needs in mind.

“Melanie is great! Very professional and always keeps me informed of when she arrives, and of their walk. My dog always looks forward to her arrival and walk :) i would recommend her to anyone.”

About: If you have an anxious dog or if you’re an anxious dog parent, then I’m probably the sitter for you. I have a fur baby of my own, my 1 year old beagle Pete, and he is an extremely energetic, mischievous, stubborn, and anxious little guy. I’ve raised Pete since he was 11 weeks old, so I know all there is to know about puppies and take caring for them very seriously. As someone who follows a pretty structured routine for an anxious dog, I know how important it is to stick to schedules and make sure pets are getting enough walks, enrichment, playtime, love, and attention to help them feel safe and settled while their parent is away. I’ve personally paid people a lot of money to care for Pete because I ask for a lot (literally down to leaving instructions to keep Gilmore Girls on the TV because he likes it lol), so trust me when I say there is nothing “too much” or “too specific” that you can ask of me. I completely understand how important routines and comfort are for our pets because I’m the exact same way with my own dog. I also have experience administering medications and caring for dogs after neutering and medical issues. Pete has dealt with prostate issues, so I’m comfortable handling medication schedules and paying close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines. It’s also worth mentioning that Pete, being a beagle, eats EVERYTHING and keeps me on my toes at all times. Because of that, I’ve become incredibly diligent, patient, observant, and adaptable. Some dogs are calm and cuddly, while others need more play, structure, patience, or stimulation and I’m comfortable adapting to all kinds of personalities and needs. As a dog mom myself I know how reassuring it is to get updates while you’re away, so I’ll happily communicate as much as you’d like. Expect lots of updates, photos, videos, and honest communication. I’m also never afraid to ask questions if I need clarification because I’d rather do things correctly than make assumptions. Most importantly, I want people to know I’m dependable and trustworthy. If you tell me your dog needs a 30 minute walk, we’re doing a full 30 minute walk. If your dog eats from a snuffle mat, has a specific bedtime routine, or can’t be alone after dark, I’m going to follow those instructions exactly as asked. I know how hard it is to trust someone else with your baby, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Right now I’m focusing on walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays in clients’ homes rather than bringing additional pets into my own home environment. Pet care already plays a big role in my daily routine, so I’m very comfortable maintaining structured schedules, walks, feeding routines, potty breaks, enrichment, and consistent care. I’m available throughout the day and evening Thursday through Sunday, and I also offer weekday availability Monday through Wednesday during early mornings and evenings. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I totally get how important trust and consistency is when someone is caring for your pet (I am that person that has given our dog sitter a 4 pager play by play of my puppy’s routine lol!). I’m very attentive to routines, safety, and following owner instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, crate routines, medication, walks, enrichment, or household rules. I always prioritize keeping pets calm, comfortable, and secure in their familiar environment and will communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am so diligent with my own fur baby when it comes to structure but also play time and potty time- so when I say I’m going to ensure your pet has all those things I mean it! At this time, I focus on care in clients’ homes and individualized attention rather than bringing additional pets into my own home environment (my fur baby is definitely an only child lol).

About: I am a dog lover who enjoys having fun with dogs. I am available for any and all of your pet’s needs. Your dog will have all the time for fun and exercise. I love dog walks, playing tug of war, fetch, and games like find the treat, toy, etc. Your dog will be well fed and walked to their hearts content. I am accommodating, any request you make can and will be followed through. I have a large fenced in yard and plenty of space inside my house for the colder months. Your pup is allowed on all the furniture, beds included. Playing is my favorite thing to do. But most importantly, I will treat your dog as it is my own. I am a college student so time is of the essence. I love dogs of all sizes, puppies included. I can pick up and drop your pet off if necessary for a small round trip fee. I care for my own pets everyday, their well-being is my well-being. I will surely care for your pet like my own whenever they are here. I make sure the pups are well fed, exercised, and mentally stimulated. By including my own dogs into activities I see the other pets become more comfortable to the point where they’re acting like my house is theirs.

About: Available on some weekdays and weekends, will incorporate lots of exercise and playtime, have years of experience with caring for dogs, like my dog Benji. I don’t prefer to do house-boarding just because my current family dog isn’t dog-friendly with others. Because I grew up without a dog and have always wanted one, I was hoping to fulfill that gap with caring for other dogs. I am responsible enough to ensure everything will go smoothly, and have a calm demeanor in case of emergencies. Having always been a dog lover, I can provide you with the service of being rest assured that the relationship between your dog and me will be a reciprocal and enjoyable one! No guarantees of feelings not becoming attached however! If you are looking for an involved, energetic playmate for your dog or simply a caretaker, I can be of generous service to you and your dog.

About: I have taken a dog behavior training at a local shelter. I have dog sat for family members for multiple days (in house and my home ) Unfortunately I work during the week. I am free Saturday and Sunday to pet sit or just to give your fur baby some love and attention for a couple hours while you’re away. I do not have pets of my own due to housing circumstances. While in a client’s home I ensure that all potentially dangerous items are out of reach and secure from the pets. I give pets their space when showing signs of distress. As well as make sure they have their favorite comfort items.

About: I’ve taken care of my pet dog Bruno since he was a puppy, me and my family adopted him back in 2023 and now he’s turning 3 in May this year. I’m usually free throughout the week and I will always have plenty of time to care for them and for any of their needs! I will always make sure to speak with their owner first if they have any special needs and ask if there are certain instructions written down that will need to be followed regarding of their pets.

About: I’ve had a dog in our lives for the past 12 years who passed away a couple months ago. We rescued 3 kittens in 2021. Jack is our oldest cat and he is quite a character. Luz is our middle cat and she is the sweetest little thing to look at/she loves to talk. Baby is our not so little baby and is such a friendly loving cat. I’m currently working 80% remote from home during the week and available on the weekends. Having my cats at home have kept me company and make the day go by faster. My cats have free range of our home and no restrictions. They have their favorite spots to nap during the day which is our bathroom, under my teenagers beds and on my bed while I work. We have snack and play time but mostly love to lounge during the day. We’re looking to add some additional character in our environment. Our home will be your pets second home.

About: I've had pets my entire life! Currently I have 3 furbabies, 2 dogs and 1 cat. Recently, I've started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I'm not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! I’m currently not working, so I can give all my attention to your fur baby! I am available to go on walks Monday-Saturday and available for boarding on the weekdays. I have a humongous backyard for my doggies to play! They are super spoiled and loved, but also disciplined. My dogs are very tolerant and friendly to other dogs. My cat is in his own little world!

“Thank you for coming out in the heat while we were on our trip just so our pup could get some outdoor exercise. We greatly appreciate you and how you care for our Chief!”

About: My name is Brianna and I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 in my home, a friendly and sweet whippet/greyhound mix who is 9 years and a energetic and curious German boxer. I have experience with puppies through older adult dogs as well as small breeds through extra large. I work from home so am able to accommodate most schedules. I have 3 years of experience administering both oral medications and injections for dogs needing medical support. My home is quiet, child free and comfortable for both older dogs needing place to rest as well as energetic pets ready to play! Send me a message and I would be happy to set up a meet and greet with you and your pet.

About: Ever since I was a kid there was always animals in my home. Currently I care for 17 chickens and a bearded dragon. Not the easiest but I love them a lot. I’ve been babysitting my neighbors dogs for about 2 years until she retired and I just can’t seem to get away from care for animals. I do work a part time job but it’s about 3 mins from my house and I get to go home for all my breaks to take care of the animals and check up on them. I always get weekends off I will take your animals for walks all the time. Anything they need they will receive. I will care for them as if they were my own.
