About: I’ve had a dog my entire life and have taken care of a variety of different breeds and ages since I was 16. My family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to feed, walk, and provide loving company for their furry friends! Pet care fits perfectly into my regular routine as I am available any day and anytime during the week. I will drop everything to be there for your pets! I will be sure to keep your dog on their leash while walking them and clean up after them during walks or in your home!

“Jennifer is great! She goes above and beyond and took excellent care of Cupcake while we were away. Couldn't be happier!”

“Maddie has consistently taken fantastic care of my cat (including administering medication), and she's quickly become my go-to pet-sitter whenever I go out of town. I can't recommend her enough!”

About: I have been a fur mama for 13 years, but have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I love BOTH cats and dogs! I have two of each—along with a turtle, so I am not afraid of caring for aquatic animals. I have experience administering medication both orally and subdermally. So I am not afraid to do either. I would love to help take care of your baby in any way! I currently work Monday-Thursday. I am available all day Fridays and Sundays. And full days every other Saturday, because I work a half day every other. Can make some weeknights work, depending on the situation. I have a fully fenced in yard, so no need to worry about keeping your babies safe. Backyard comes with two super friendly dogs who love playtime with friends!

“Kaliah was great with our two dogs! She sent lots of pictures and videos and was always on time for their drop ins. She communicated so well, and I’m sure our boys felt taken care of!”

“Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like a member of my own family. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know them and provide individualized care. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet gets plenty of love and attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. During summertime I have more flexibility, however, during the school year I work as a school bus driver, so it allows me to care for your pet during my Monday breaks as well I have taken care of pets for friends and family for years and have 2 of my own doggies, so I am well experienced to provide great care for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

About: I have many years of experience caring for different breeds of dogs. I love learning new information about the care needs of different breeds. I also have experience caring for old and sick dogs. I can perform simple medical procedures such as dressings, dispensing medications, injections and physiotherapy. If you have a puppy with whom you are practicing new commands, I will eagerly follow your instructions to keep the puppy in good shape. I am free to play and walk during the day and evening. The schedule must be discussed in advance as there may be a shift change at work. Within your home, I can follow all your instructions. During walks, I make sure every pet is secure on the leash, stay in safe areas, and get the right balance of exercise and fun. For sitting visits, I follow your routine carefully — feeding, playtime, and cuddle breaks included!

“great communication!! will definitely reach out again when i need help with my pets!”

About: Hi there! I’m Shaifali — a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two friendly pups, Lali and Phoebe. 🐾 I have over 11 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. As a full-time nurse who works nights, I’m available during the day and have a flexible schedule to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. What I offer: • Lots of love, cuddles, and playtime • Safe, fun walks (I love going on long walks and exploring nature trails!) • Experience with administering medications • Knowledge of special diets and health needs (my own dog is on a GI-friendly diet, so I understand how important it is to follow food schedules carefully) Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in good hands. Let’s set up your pup’s next walk or playdate — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐶💛 I currently work full time as a nurse on night shift. I have a lot of flexibility in the day to watch dogs due to working at night! I have 2 friendly dogs Lali and Phoebe in my home. Dogs are leashed at all times when outside. If you have a special diet for your pet please let me know as well as a food schedule! I understand special dietary needs for pets. My dog Phoebe herself is on a low fat GI diet due to chronic pancreatitis.

“Natalie is really great at what she does. She fills me in on what my dog does while walking him and do on… she’s seriously awesome! Flexible and kind. My Bohdi (black lab puppy) lovesssss her!”

Beverly V.

“Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....”

About: Hello! I am a very active individual who loves to engage and play with pets. I consider myself an avid runner, and have never shied away from taking pets with me. I am very used to walking and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. For daycare, I work from home full time and have a large fenced in yard that all dogs love! I currently have two pets, a 1 year old pup named Vasher and a orange tabby cat named Locke. Vasher is a golden retriever / German shepherd mix who is the best boy. He already weighs over 70 lb! He loves to play, run around, and talk to us with his buttons. He is extremely friendly and loves to make new friends, both human and dog alike. Locke will make friends with any person he meets. I also helped raised my parents dog Leine, who is a 90lb tree walker cooonhound. She is the sweetest pup at 10 years old. I have watched and cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, but you can probably tell I have a special place for large playful dogs. If you're looking for somewhere to drop off your dog for the day where they will have a huge yard and a playmate, I'm your guy. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently work remotely! My schedule is entirely flexible, so I will be able to take care of your pet at any time of the day. If you have a set schedule for walking/feeding/playing, I'll be able to stick to it without any issues. I will care for your pet by paying attention to their needs, whether it be playing, cuddling, or feeding. I will keep them as active as possible, and would be happy to run them around the yard or neighborhood. I am very willing to follow whatever instructions you have for your pet.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and over the years I’ve turned that love into hands-on experience working in both boarding facilities and pet retail. Always looking for a reason to be around more adorable fur faces! I have both a cat and a dog and make sure they’re fully prioritized after I get home from work because they’re the best friends anyone could ask for! I care for pets based on their routine and personality, keeping things consistent and stress-free while you’re away. In your home, I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keep spaces clean (like litter boxes and water). I’m attentive to behavior and provide regular updates with photos.

About: I've had pets my whole life. It started with the kitten I found in the empty lot next to my home when I was just a little kid. I had multiple types of cats and dogs my whole life, occasionally taking in strays. Friends and family used to call me an animal whisperer because even the most shy pets would let me meet them. I'm super gentle with animals, respect their "person"-hood, but at the same time I'm a big guy and can easily walk your big dog. I had a German Shepherd/Lab mix, as well as a Belgium Malinois (not at the same time!). I took both through pet training courses. I also had a King Charles spaniel that I adopted. I had 3 main cats throughout my life, though several found/rescued ones throughout. My last cat had asthma and I had to give it an inhaler, so I have experience administering medication (I've had to give shots at various times as well). I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule. I can slip away from a walk almost any time, though I do have occasional meetings I need to attend. I have daily meetings at 11am which usually don't last more than 15-30 mins. I'm happy to follow whatever rules you have in place for your pets. The time I spend with them can be a nice changeup in their routine, to give them something to look forward to. I understand that pets feel like kids to some of us, and will always keep their joy and safety in mind.

About: I am a dog lover out of the Chicagoland area, and can’t wait to meet your pups! I currently have two dogs, one’s a coonhound mix and the others a whippet mix. I love them to bits and love taking care of them! I will be on summer break from college starting Monday, May 11th. I work a part time job but am very flexible with bookings and can easily work around my schedule. I am able to pet sit and dog walk your pups. I can easily accommodate and adapts to your dogs needs. Can’t wait to treat them like they are my own!
