I was really nervous leaving my 9 month month old kitty and 18 year old cat at home for 5 days while i was gone, but Rachel was such a wonderful sitter, and provided me with wonderful photos and thoughtful, detailed updates while i was gone that really put my mind at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Rachel really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of, played with and happy. She even brought a few toys and treats for them to play with! And my 18 year old cat needed a topical medicine in her ear each day, which Rachel applied to her no problem… meaning my cat really trusts her. I almost think my cats were a little disappointed to see me instead of Rachel opening the door when i got home yesterday haha! Thanks so much Rachel - we will absolutely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!! I highly recommend her :)

Ally is AMAZING!!!! She is so empathetic, caring and responsible! She took care of my blind, diabetic dog, Rex, who is an old guy with lots of anxiety. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter, I was worried as he is a dog with special needs, and can also be a bit agressive with strangers. Ally made me feel very comfortable, she was so understanding of his behavior (and my own anxiety). She was so responsive and so easy to work with. She came to meet Rex before-hand and even got on a call with me since I am an overprotective dog-mom and was very nervous leaving Rex with someone for the first time. Rex also loved her right away as dogs recognize good people. I feel so happy and lucky that I found Ally!! Also, she is always on time! I definitely recommend Ally as a care taker for your pet, your baby will be in good hands!

Dayna is fantastic. My dogs really liked her. She was extremely flexible as my plans changed several times. She sent lots of pictures and let me know what was happening with my fur babies every step of the way. I will definitely trust my babies with her in the near future. Highly recommend her.

About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student taking online classes Monday through Thursday, however, I can be flexible with my schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out to take care of your pets:) I can always make time to help out <3 For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

About: As a middle schooler, I worked on a farm property as a pet groomer. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and a specialization with dogs that are disabled and have behavioral issues. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and making sure your fur baby gets the love they deserve! I am currently working part time at an eye-care office! I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend it with your fur baby! I am flexible and happy to accommodate to whatever you and your pet’s needs may be. I am respectful of the spaces I am in, and I understand that life can get busy sometimes. I never judge a messy home, and promise that it won’t be an issue. I am just happy to help!

Stella is an instant friend with a very caring heart. Took care of my cat like he was her own family member. Stella went above and beyond by playing with him, letting him in the back yard, setting up fun snacks for him, and even bringing a delivery in the house. I highly recommend Stella to give pets the care they need!

About: I’ve had doggos my whole life and have been entrusted by friends/neighbors to take care of theirs since I was a kid! My family calls me Snow White because I’ve never met an animal that hasn’t liked me (it’s true). I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’d be honored with the trust of walking/checking in on your furry friend! *If weekends are needed, please ask upon booking!* I blocked due to my job, I’m a full-time real estate agent, but I’m able to have some flexibility. I’d be available earlier in the mornings and mid to late afternoon’s most days, but that could be subject to change depending on the day. When you book, I’ll be able to provide times with certainty, but I’d be able to walk and/or drop in up to twice a day during the week. I’ll treat your home and animal(s) as if they’re my own! I always make sure the animal(s) have enough fresh water, food (according to the feeding routine that’s given), and play time! If the animal(s) make a mess, I have no issue tidying/cleaning as needed. I’ll never leave without ensuring that the animal(s) are where they’re instructed to be, if applicable, and will always make sure your doors are closed/locked when I leave.

About: I've taken care of dogs at every stage of life ever since I was 7. From house-training puppy to assisting my 90 lb senior dog on walks with a special harness because her back legs would not work as well anymore (I have a special place in my heart for senior doggies as my childhood doggy Emily (boxer mix) just passed away recently at 15 years old). I have experience walking, feeding, and playing with small and big dogs. I am also currently doing dog walking/feeding for my mother's pitbull at the moment. I am currently not in the place in my life to own another dog at this moment and have been missing having a dog of my own again so I am so ready to love yours as if they were my own! I will take the utmost precautions and safety depending on your dog's needs/behavior. I have safely handled reactive dogs that don't do well with other dogs. I will make sure your pet gets the exercise/playtime they need to stay happy. I also own a cat so I am also experienced in cat care for your feline friends! I am pretty much available at anytime and any day at this time. Just let me know with at least one day ahead of time and I will let you know if I am able. I would take care of your baby like my own. In any situation, I will take the utmost precaution to ensure the safety of your pet and myself when we are walking.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs since I was little and have loved every second. I was always helping out my family’s and neighbor’s pets - and now I finally got my own puppy in August of 2025. Trained him all on my own and he is the sweetest boy! I work at a kindergarten with special education during the school year. Once June hits, I will be officially out for summer break and plan on focusing all my attention on Rover. I will have all the time on my hands to drop in and take care of your pets! My 10 month old dachshund is very well taken care of. He is my pride and joy - always getting all the cuddles and exercise he needs. I believe that all pets require the same love and attention that humans do and I treat them with that idea in mind.

About: Leaving your furry loved ones for whatever reason could be a grueling task. I know this. What I take pride In is giving your furry little friends a vacation spot of there own, so you can have a worry free time being away. Dogs, cats, and all animals for that matter have a special spot in my heart. It's always been a passion of mine. Here at my loving home is like a pets "Sandels Resort". A three acre fenced in yard backing up to the woods is like a dog park of its own. Can't forget the little river that flows thru either!! Dogs paradise!! I am a very energetic and athletic person who just loves animals, so be sure they won't be just crated or sitting around. They will share all my adventures and fun! Plus my puppy loves other dogs to play with! Never a dull moment! Can't wait to share the fun with your baby's!

About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. They have ranged from small to large! I may not have professional experience taking care of dogs and cats but my personal experience is extensive. My pets have always come first so I will always put yours first as well. Your pets will become mine in that short amount of time I get to be with them. I will be available at nights starting at 5pm. If you would like me to spend the night with your pets I am very willing to! I know pets get lonely and miss snuggles just as much as their human owners do. I am also available to take care of your lizards and rodents if you have any. I have one of my own (bearded dragon) and am willing to help with them as well! I am a teacher. During the school year I have limited time to help out but any overnight drop ins I can help you out! During the summer, I have MUCH more availability! I can do afternoons and nights. I am a pet parent myself so I am always cautious. I make sure to keep an eye on everything happening in the home. Outside or inside.

About: I am a 7 year experienced veterinary technician who has worked primarily with small animals in multiple practices across the United States. I am currently enrolled in veterinary medical school pursuing my doctorate at UIUC in their college of veterinary medicine. In addition, I am a life-long pet owner myself! I grew up with dogs in a variety of sizes, as well as cats. As a veterinary student, I have classes in the morning and sometimes afternoon. This should not be a concern as I still have plenty of time to watch pets! I care for pets in the owners home! As a veterinary student, I am living in an apartment which is not always the appropriate place for watching certain large-sized dogs. I also have a cat of my own who is terrified of dogs!

About: As an experienced and devoted pet sitter, I take great pride in the unique qualities that set me apart from other sitters. My passion for animals and dedication to their well-being drive me to go above and beyond in providing exceptional care for your furry companions. I prioritize open communication with pet owners, ensuring that they are kept informed about their pets' well-being during their absence. Regular updates, photos, and messages will be shared, so you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved pets are in safe hands. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on your pet’s care. I’m able to accommodate multiple walks throughout the day, including scenic strolls through my neighborhood forest preserve. Whether it’s potty breaks, exercise, or just extra outdoor time, I love making sure pets get the attention, movement, and fresh air they need. When caring for pets in the client's home, I am committed to maintaining the same level of attention and love they would receive in their owner's presence. I follow the pet's routine as closely as possible, adhering to their feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any other specific requirements provided by the owner. During walks, I ensure that dogs are safely harnessed and on-leash at all times, while also being attentive to their surroundings and any potential triggers or stressors. I use positive reinforcement techniques during walks to encourage good behavior and reinforce basic commands. I make it a priority to spend quality time with each pet, showering them with affection and engaging them in playtime to ensure they remain mentally stimulated and emotionally content. Communication with pet owners is vital, and I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, to keep them informed about their pets' well-being and any notable experiences during my care.
