“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”


“We really appreciated the late notice pick-up for walking Pepper! Sarah was super friendly and also communicated their general availability for potential future walks. 100% recommend and will be repeat folks!”


“Deb took my 8 year old Aussie for our first rover walk today. She came before the walk when I was home for a meet and greet the previous week. Deb messaged me to let me know she arrived for the walk and sent detailed updates with photos. Tesla can be shy, but Deb did a great job! My Tesla was happy when I got home from classes this evening and napped while I did homework indicating so got good exercise today! Thanks Deb, looking forward to our weekly walks :)”

About: I’m a stay-at-home dog mom with a variety of pet sitting experience. Dogs in my care will get plenty of affection and attention until they are ready to be reunited with their person. My daily routine with my own doggo consists of outside play and long walks at Grant Park. Plenty of time to devote to your pup while in my care. I have a dog friendly home with a fenced yard and a carpet steamer just in case there is an accident. I take my dog out for a long walk each day, sometimes two when the sun is shining. The main floor of my home has room to play in case it’s raining and we need to get some energy out of your pup. I also have plenty of toys, snuffle mats, and food/treat toy puzzles to keep your pup mentally engaged.

About: I love caring for all kinds of animals from rabbits, chickens, goats, and hedgehogs. Having worked as an urban farmer, I am very experienced in caring for animals professionally. I have been a pet sitter for 10 years and have walked dogs on a regular basis for two. Dogs are the best! I look forward to giving your fur baby all of my attention, empathy, and patience. I love the challenge of meeting and working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have cared for dogs of advanced age with medication needs, excitable puppies, and every age in between. Getting to know your dog is my goal. Your dog is in strong and caring hands - every walk will be an adventure! I work in person about one day a week, so I have a great deal of schedule flexibility. Whatever your pet's schedule is, I can likely accommodate it without any conflicts. As a pet owner myself, I know how precious your animal is as a member your family. I will do my best to give them lots of affection and stimulating play while respecting your home environment.

“Hannah has been walking my 2 dogs since November. Currently she walks them 3 times a week. I highly recommend her - she is great with my dogs and they are so excited when she comes to get them. She communicates well and is quick in responding to texts which is important to me. Bodhi and Linden love her, which makes me going into work a lot easier as I know they get a break in their day with someone who cares.”


“Ursula is the best! She has walked my dog twice since my injury. She confirms walks very quickly and has great availability. She can handle my dog reactive pup :)”


“Lyle has been really good about walking our dog when I'm out of town and my wife is working. We appreciate his dog walks, it makes it easier for me to travel and he's always been available when I've been away. We have a pretty strong dog but Lyle has never complained about that, which is great.”



“Jess has been a fantastic and trustworthy dog walker for us for over two years. Rain or shine, she is reliable and a great friend to our dog, who can be triggered to other dogs while out on walks. I feel very comfortable with our dog in her care. I wouldn't use any other dog walker at this point!”


“Took great care of my cat while I was away, playing with her, petting her, feeding her and taking her for walks. Sent me lots of pictures so I could see that Smudge was healthy and happy. Would definitely hire again.”


“Jourdan has been great with communicating with me. I have enjoyed meeting her and feel confident Riley is in good hands with her. I will definitely be using Jourdan more!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets in their homes, with a focus on creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment. I’ve provided care for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels—including puppies with lots of play needs and senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable administering medications, sticking to detailed routines, and building trust with shy or sensitive animals. What sets me apart is my observant, gentle approach and my ability to truly connect with each animal’s personality. I’ve also worked in a dog daycare setting, which taught me how to manage group dynamics, recognize early signs of stress or tension, and support dogs through social play. On top of that, I’m a pet photographer, so I’m used to reading body language and creating positive, low-stress interactions—even with animals who are nervous around new people. Whether I’m popping in for a quick visit or staying overnight, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with respect, patience, and a lot of love. Because I currently work part-time online with a flexible schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to dedicate focused, unrushed time to caring for cats—whether that means stopping by for a quick check-in, spending time with a pet who needs extra company, or maintaining feeding and medication routines throughout the day. My remote work allows me to be dependable and responsive, and I genuinely enjoy the balance of quiet computer time and meaningful, hands-on interaction with animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment that matches the pet’s usual routine. I give each animal my full attention—making sure they’re fed on time, comfortable, and getting the interaction they need, whether that’s quiet companionship, playtime, or a nice brushing session. I’m also respectful of the client’s space, keeping everything clean and organized as if it were my own. At my apartment, I can provide a peaceful, safe space for pets who are used to a quieter environment. I live next to several parks and love going for walks, so dogs staying with me get plenty of fresh air, movement, and enrichment. I also enjoy building trust with each pet, whether that means helping a cat settle into a cozy nap spot or giving a dog a structured walk that meets their energy level.

“Anna has been awesome to work with! She’s very attentive, asks great questions, and clearly loves spending time with Ginny. I can feel confident while at my new job that my pup is in great hands. I highly recommend Anna.”



“Clare is wonderful and would definitely recommend! Even with a last minute dog walking booking she was accommodating and flexible and it was a life saver. She is a sweetheart and my dog got excited whenever she came by and sad whenever she left. Will definitely use again in the future!”
