About: I am a retired high school educator, artist, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover. I am a five-star walker and a very reliable and compassionate caregiver for your pet. I often feel we are kindred spirits and I am totally intrigued by their individual personalities. I have cared for dogs both personally or professionally for most of my life and willingly care for your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be exploring adventure, padding the neighborhood (walking or running), gifting belly rubs, or providing hydration & nutrition, your pet’s needs will be personalized while in my care with much love and affection. In the future, I hope to rehabilitate dogs and work with their family members to provide a safe space filled with discipline, affection, and a true sense of belonging. You can depend on me and trust that your pet will feel cherished and loved while in my care. Since retiring from teaching, my hours of 1:1 attention have expanded. I am now available to give full weekday hours to your pet in addition to my time during weekends. While caring for pets in parks and neighborhoods, I keep them on a leash during all walks and runs. If we are lounging in the yard I provide the dog an opportunity to relax on a lead while I am outdoors with them. For owners who allow their dogs to visit Lakewood Dog Park’s expansive exercise area, I monitor those dogs while they run and play off leash under my constant supervision. While indoors, I follow the rules that my pet owners prefer whether it be cuddling on furniture and slumbering in bed with me or crating them within their cozy caves with their favorite snuggle toy. I do everything I can to mirror the eating, playing, and napping comfort with the same positive experiences your pet receives in your living home while throwing in a little extra spoiling 🐶❤️🐶

About: I'm a lifelong pet owner with experience and patience loving all sorts of pets, from a little kid I've always loved and cared for many types of pets, from the smallest to the largest, let me make your pet nice and secure at home. As I'm recently retired, I have the time and patience to meet your pet care needs, I'm a very stable and mature adult who adores pets. My care is personalized to each individual furry member of your family, offering them the same level of care and love that you yourself would provide.

About: I have loved dogs as long as I can remember. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and have helped watch dogs of different breeds for family and friends. I am used to the begging, barking, couch potatoes, and more! I’m a nurse so I only work three days a week and get the other four off. There are times where I have a week off at a time. I would love nothing more but to fill some of those off days with furry friends. I currently don’t have any other animals with me so your dog(s) would be the only one. I live in a ranch with no stairs. It is easily accessible for all dogs. I also do not have a fenced in yard but live on about a half acre. I have a great neighborhood for long walks to get energy out!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

About: My family has raised dogs since I was young. With the last two dogs (and especially our newest), I've been responsible for at-home training (house-training, walking, commands) and taking care of their needs. In general, I have 3.5 hour night classes Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and a 2 hour class Friday morning. Otherwise, my schedule is pretty open. I would love to chat about any further needs of your dog. Dogs can be pretty different from each other, so how I interact with your dog will depend on their needs and yours. As a general rule, I'm pretty affectionate with dogs but can be more distant if you or your dog prefer that.

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with years of hands-on experience, I offer a unique combination of reliability, compassion, and personalized care.

With me, your pets are in trusted, loving hands.

In your home, I respect your pet's territory and routines, and I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure they remain comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure to lock all doors and windows, monitor your pet closely during walks or playtime, and take extra care when administering medications or handling special needs. Communication is key, and I’ll send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy in my care. Above all, I build trust with both pets and owners, ensuring peace of mind while you're away.

About: I am a Physician Assistant. I love animals and have 2 cats of my own. I have pet sit before and have been walking dogs in my neighborhood since I was 10 years old. My old dog, Reya, was a large and strong pit bull lab mix, but I was able to walk her and control her so she didn’t run away. I kept her from running after cars and animals on our walks. I love taking dogs on long walks and giving them the love and affection they deserve! I will play with and cuddle your pets so that they don't miss you one bit while you are away! I know that pets are members of the family and I will treat them as such. I am pretty free until March 4th, then will be away for one week, but I’ll return after that! I’m looking to make some money while I wait to get licensed in the state of Illinois. I like to play tug of war and fetch with dogs. I love taking dogs on hour long walks! That way we both get in our exercise :)

About: I have taken care of family dogs as well as my own household animals for over 10 years. I have watched both large and small dogs, and currently have a boxer, so I am used to high energy dogs as well. I am currently in between jobs, as such I am available for all bookings and last minute services for the time being. I have ample time to tend to you pet. I care for pets with love most like everyone else, and I will extend the love for my dog to your four legged friends at home.

About: I’ve volunteered at a local dog shelter. There I played with the dogs while in group, took them outside for potty breaks, took them on long walks, and even helped a little bit with training! And in 2021, I officially took the next step of becoming a dog mom myself. He’s a black lab mix, so I’ve gotten quite the experience with such a high maintenance pup. I’m a college graduate, and I work part time on Fridays. The days I have off will be committed to taking care of your pets! I have a lot of patience when it comes to taking care of pets. I’ll also make sure your pet has everything they need before I leave.
