About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, mostly chihuahuas and rescues, so I’m very comfortable with pups who need a little extra patience, reassurance, or understanding. My hands-on experience goes far beyond casual pet care. At Miami University, I was part of Paws for a Cause, where we helped train dogs to prepare them for working with children or future companion roles. This gave me a strong foundation in obedience training, reading body language, and supporting dogs with different temperaments. More recently, I’ve been volunteering with the Evanston Animal Shelter, working with dogs who have a wide range of behaviors and needs. There, I’ve assisted with medication administration, training sessions, enrichment, and helping nervous or high-energy dogs feel more comfortable and confident. I’m also on a path toward becoming a Physician Assistant, which adds to my calm, attentive, and health-focused approach. I’m comfortable managing routines, monitoring for changes, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. Overall, I bring a mix of lifelong experience, formal training exposure, shelter work, and genuine love for dogs of all personalities. Your pet will be treated with patience, structure, and plenty of affection. I work full-time as a medical scribe during the day (9–5), so evenings, weekends, and holidays are when I’m most available for pet care. During those times, I’m fully focused on your pet’s needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. My schedule outside of work is very flexible, so I can reliably fit in consistent visits or longer stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, crate routines, and any training cues you use. I take time to get to know your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries so they feel safe and relaxed. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and calm companionship, and I always keep water fresh, watch for behavior changes, and send regular updates so you feel connected. If I’m hosting in my home (or doing extended stays), I make sure pets have a quiet, clean space to settle in, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and a consistent routine. Safety is a top priority, doors secured, no access to anything unsafe, and lots of supervised time. Whether I’m in your home or mine, your pet gets patient, reliable care with the goal of making them feel comfortable, understood, and well-loved.

“Absolutely recommend Rebeca! You can tell she really cares about dogs and loves what she does. My dog Snoopy has anxiety & is very shy at first but he felt at ease with her as soon as he met her during the meet and greet. She was so gentle, patient & sweet with him right away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I will def be booking with her again!”

“Andrew was wonderful. My two standard Poodles liked him right off the bat. He was communicative, punctual and always happy with a smile on his face even when it rained.”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and have consistently had a pet, from hamsters, rabbits, birds, cats and dogs I love all of our pets! I’m a full time grad student but I often have morning availability and lots of breaks between classes in the afternoon and evening. I own a car so zipping to and from class to take care of a furry friend is no trouble at all. I live in an apartment so taking your pet is unfortunately not possible, but if I’m in your space and home I would treat it like my own. I am responsible when it comes to locking up, I don’t touch things that aren’t mine, and I am mindful of any requests that you’d have for me.

“the cats are fickle and really prefer that we not take a vacation!! They were very well cared for. Stephen was prompt and regular for the nights served. The cats did indeed enjoy his presence. Thanks again for your services. SCD”

About: Hi! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve had pets all my life — so I know how much pets mean to their families. My girlfriend introduced me to Rover, and since then, I’ve been all in. I currently walk up to 10 dogs a day and board around 2 dogs each month, and I truly enjoy every minute of it. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy cat who just wants a quiet companion, I treat every pet like my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I always go the extra mile to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a major part of my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of control over my time. This flexibility allows me to dedicate consistent blocks of time each day to walking dogs, doing drop-in visits, and boarding pets comfortably in my home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust always come first. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure there are no hazards within reach, keep any unfamiliar pets separated as needed, and provide plenty of space for relaxation, play, and personal time. I follow any routines or rules you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure—just like they would at home. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep your pet’s schedule consistent, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m always attentive to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort to make sure they’re safe and happy throughout the visit. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to providing a trustworthy, low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

“Melissa did a fine job with my cat. She seems to love animals and is reliable. Highly recommend!”

About: I give a lot of attention to dogs and can walk them on extra long walks if needed. For puppies, if they need to play with other dogs, I have my own senior dog (shihtzu-terrier mix) they can play with. I’m currently working part-time on nights so I can walk and feed your dogs as needed. I’m very flexible with your schedule and can be available when needed. I can offer the dog lots of attention, TLC, extra long walks, feeding, and/or any medicine needed to take orally. I also have a car and can pick up/drop off the dog when needed.

“Nancyanne was terrific with our cat Kate while we were away on a long weekend trip. She stopped in as scheduled to check on her and provided us with very cute photos on each visit. It was reassuring to know she was in good hands while were were away. Thank you, Nancyanne!”

Deanna N.

“Anusha took great care of my pug Maui while I was away for the weekend, and I really appreciated the updates and attention she gave him. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Maui was happy and well cared for. I would definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

About: I’m naturally very active, so if your dog loves long walks and plenty of playtime, they’ll have a great workout buddy with me. At the same time, I’m super patient and adaptable to whatever your pet needs. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals with different traits and can definitely meet your needs! Because I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, pet care easily fits right into my daily routine. I can structure my shifts around your dog's specific needs, I have plenty of open windows to make your pet a top priority throughout the week. Whether I’m hosting your dog or staying at your place, my goal is to keep their routine exactly how they like it. For active pups, that means plenty of long walks and fresh air to burn off energy, while puppies get consistent potty breaks and training support. If you have a senior dog, I focus on a quiet, stress-free environment and precise feeding schedules. I adapt completely to your pet's needs.

About: I have experience working with cats and dogs. My family adopted a cat a few years ago and she quickly became part of the family. I have experience walking my neighbors dogs and know how to tame a dog if need be. Working with cats and dogs is a passion of mine as each has their own unique personality that is discovered over time. I am a college student at the Royal Conservatory of Music Glenn Gould School. I am available most afternoons Monday to Saturday, except for Sunday. I have a large fenced backyard that is safe for dogs to soak up the sun while having fun exploring, running around, and playing games

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their daily needs, behavior, exercise routines, and overall care. Over the past two years, I’ve also expanded my experience by professionally caring for other families’ dogs, including large breeds. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, providing companionship, and ensuring each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m comfortable handling larger dogs with confidence and patience, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m currently studying full time. But during the day I have enough time to take care of pets in differents times of the day. I'm looking for pet care in the customers' house. This way I can make sure that the pets are comfortable and safe in the place where they live. Sometimes when they are transferred to another place they can suffer from stress or anxiety

About: I've been around cats and dogs my entire life and have cared for pets for as long as I can remember. About 10 years ago, I worked as a professional dog walker, and I currently volunteer with Chicago Pet Rescue. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, from energetic and playful to shy or senior pets. I provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I work part-time with a flexible daytime schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the week. As a planner and dependable communicator, I take pride in being on time and providing consistent care. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their families are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique and do my best to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide updates and photos when appropriate so owners can feel confident that their pets are receiving attentive, loving care.
