“Kaitlyn has been walking my dog, Penny, on a weekly basis for a few weeks now. Penny absolutely loves her! Kaitlyn is always on time and very communicative. She also leaves great report cards, and I have peace of mind knowing Penny is getting a good walk with a great person.”

3. Bethany D.
About: Hi, I’m Bethany! I’ve been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years, and I truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry friends, I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I’ve worked with them all and love every minute of it. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a sweet baby boy who comes with me on all visits. He’s still little, so he’ll either be in a stroller or being worn in a baby carrier—always calm, quiet, and close to me. Your pet will still receive my full attention, love, and care, with a gentle, nurturing presence alongside us. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I am a stay at home mom so that I can attend to your babies at any given time or help out in an emergency! I can provide for your babies with drop in visits or dog walking! I will provide everything you may need plus got the extra mile for you! I love on each pet as it my own, and send lots of pictures and updates!!

“Emily has a love for animals that's infectious to see. Whenever she meets a dog or cat (or sees a video of a fox) she absolutely lights up. She's been around dogs and cats all her life and is well equipped to take care of your pets like they're her best friends.”

“LaShay is an amazing pet sitter with a golden heart. She goes beyond the call of duty. The animals in her care are treated like family. She sends pictures every few hours and takes the pups on a walk every 2 hours.”


10. Leticia G.
About: I'm currently in school for my RN. I have worked in Hospice for a few years now, and for awhile I provided doggy hospice for my last pup (Callie) that passed in January of 2022, she was with me almost 17 years. I now have a crazyyyy puppy. I live less than 5 minutes from my job so my pup gets a lot of my time. I do work around 2-4 days a week so I'm looking to fill my free time with more pups and I know my puppy is craving someone to play with. Each dog I care for is cared for in different ways, no care is the same. Some are very high energy and require time and patience. Others are more timid and don't need as much couching.

15. Kayla O.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and currently have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to have someone reliable and loving. I’m experienced, trustworthy, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I am currently between jobs, so this allows me the time and flexibility to stop in and check on your furry friend as often as needed. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just some company, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and at ease. I treat every home and animal with the same respect and care I give my own. You can trust that your furry friend will never be rushed or ignored. I provide a calm, loving environment and am committed to keeping your pet happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. I also provide regular updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing.




16. Jennifer M.
“Jennifer walked our dog, Boston, for a whole week while we were on vacation. She always took a slightly different route, visited his favorite park, and managed to go over a mile on each 30 minute walk. She was one of our favorite walkers.”


17. Hope A.

“Hope has been so great to deal with. She's honest, responsible, knowledgeable, and most of all trustworthy. Super flexible schedule. Always on time. Very professional. I couldn't ask for a better person to watch over my new pup. My dog just loves Hope. Such a good feeling knowing your pet is in good hands when you're out. Thanks!”


18. Natasha M.
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs ranging from very small to very large. I am very comfortable around all animals. I am very cautious and alert since I have a husky who runs. I grew up on a farm, so I am also used to all sorts of animals, such as horses and pigs. I am an early childhood education major at Northern Illinois University. I currently work at Rockton Grade, School, as an assistant teacher, and have the summer off, and the fall as I am doing to student teach in the spring. I am very reliable and flexible. I am more of a homebody, so I am usually enjoying activities, such as gardening, reading, and painting. I know how to communicate properly and will always make sure to give updates and stay in frequent touch. I am currently working at Rockton Grade school, but I have the summer off since it is now summer break. I am home until after winter break when I start student teaching! I have open availability Sunday through Monday, but in primarily looking for work during the weekdays of Monday through Friday. I am very accustomed to animals. I currently have a full bred Siberian husky. That is my best friend. We do many things together and he is fully trained. He does like to get out and run when possible so I am very cautious at all times with doors, and with leashes, when on a walk or a bathroom break. I make sure to provide a clean environment if animals were ever to come over to my residence. Otherwise, I am very neat and organized. I have no trouble with keeping things clean and safe for animals. I know how hard it is to leave a furry baby and I do my best to make you feel as good as possible, just like I would when leaving my animals!


19. Whitney W.

“Whitney was great! She took our two dogs for a walk every day for 3 days and was great with them. Would highly recommend!”




20. Lauren G.
“I am so happy to recommend Lauren as a petsitter and dog walker. I've known her for many years and have used her as a pet sitter on many occasions. She is an exceptional caretaker of all animals big and small. She treats all my dogs with love and care and they're always happy upon my return. I trust her to feed, walk, and play with my dogs on a regular basis. She's also given them medication when needed. Lauren has even trained them to do a few tricks. I am also impressed with her reliability and trustworthiness. So much so, that I've passed her name along to friends and relatives, many of whom have used her services to take care of their own pets. Again, I would highly recommend Lauren to give your pets the love and care they need.”
