About: I love all animals and am dedicated to providing you and your pets a fun, safe, stress-free experience. I really miss having pets of my own and I’m so excited for the opportunity to take care of them! 🫶🏻 Though I’m employed full time as a chemist, I work from my apartment several days a week. This gives me a lot of flexibility for walks or cat boarding throughout the week. Evenings are super easy for me too for additional walks or drop-offs! When your cat stays with me, you can be sure they’ll get plenty of love, attention, and care. Since my apartment is a studio, it’s super easy to keep an eye on them. I’m great at following all care instructions, no matter how specific. I just want to do whatever makes you feel comfortable and your pet feel at ease!

“Jo went above and beyond to communicate clearly and promptly! Jo even fed him dinner. I can tell s’mores already loves spending time with Jo. It would be a pleasure to book with Jo again!”

“Teena is an absolutely phenomenal dog walker! Her boundless patience and warm friendliness instantly put Bruno at ease. She always takes the time to understand his needs, making sure every walk is a safe, fun, and stress-free experience. I couldn't ask for a better, more caring companion for my pup”

About: I’ve been able to manage and care for pets since a kid. For some reason dogs love me and the feeling has been very mutual. I work during the day and go to schools on the weekends early mornings. It will be perfect to fill in the blank spots were I feel I’m bored I care for all pets with their safety and health in mind. Treat the pets the same way I would want someone to treat me and

“Deidre was AMAZING with my with two pups and can’t RECOMMEND her enough! Unfortunately, one of my dogs became very ill before I left for vacation and required extensive, round the clock care. Deirdre was able to administer all of the medications, stick to the strict food regimen, come by every 2 hours to check in, and even cleaned up all of the accidents from my sick pup. :/ She kept me updated throughout the trip with texts and pictures, asked questions when needed, and when my other dog sitter fell through at last minute, she was able to rearrange her schedule to cover. Overall, I am very grateful for her help and it truly put my mind at ease knowing Deirdre could be there to take care of them! Thank you again!”

“Sheryl is amazing!!! We have a 90 lb lab, and she handled him beautifully! Browser had such an instant positive reaction to Sheryl that we knew she was the right person. Sheryl came same day with almost no notice - I had just gotten out of the hospital and needed someone to walk Browser. She is used to handling large dogs and it showed. Great communication skills, very personable. We will definitely continue to use Sheryl - what a great find!!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have been the go to for friends and family members when they travel because I have had such a flexible schedule during my career. I am now retired so I can spoil your fur baby 24/7. I have experience with my "nephew" a very large male german shepard all the way down to my soul dog, 8 lb Ellie Mae and everything in between. Multiple dogs is not an issue either. I have watched up to three dogs all with different schedules and needs. I will also leave your house as clean if not cleaner than when you left. I would consider it an honor for you to trust me with both. I have been retired for five years which means I will only be focusing on your dogs happiness and safety. I have been busy on the trusted housesitters site for over a year and have travelled the US visiting friends and family and falling in love with many dogs and taking care of some great homes. I have plenty of references available for you as I transition to this platform. I currently don't have any animals so I'm able to give yours my undivided attention I will take your lead, and the dogs, as to what you require. I love to walk for miles, I love to be outdoors and play fetch and I also appreciate a good chill on the couch. If you dog likes to ride in the car we can go get a pup cup and stick our head out the window. Whatever rules, requirements or special needs your fur baby requires I am able to provide. I will never be gone more that four hours at an absolute maximum and that would be a rarity just depending if I am in a new area and want to explore a little. If it is local to this Chicago/Northern IL area been there/done that.

About: I've spent over a decade volunteering and working with animals across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Middle East — from cat shelters to training my own dog to service-dog level in obedience (sit, here, heel, center + more). My home is very clean, calm, and routine-based. Whether it's a dog who needs structure and adventure or a cat who needs a spotless litter box and quiet affection, I create a safe, happy, healthy environment and treat every pet like family, with daily photo updates. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom to a 4 month old puppy, I spend most of my time around the house. I also take the pup to the dog park / beach every day or every other day. I have a fenced in yard for my pup & I’ve worked her recall enough now that I don’t have to worry about her. She’s super trained inside and outside the house.

“Faith took amazing care of Rosco and he loved his walks this week.”

“Haven was so great with our dog. She was available on short notice and went above and beyond to take care of our dog that has anxiety. He felt very comfortable with her right away. I would highly recommend Haven as a dog walker/sitter!”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

Mornings or night, I can help take care of your pet! I will follow all directions provided to make sure that your pet is safe, healthy, and feels loved! I have a cat with special healthcare needs and understand the importance of clear communication and trust!

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for my two dogs, along with boarding and overnight sitting for friends' pets, I’m well-versed in handling dogs of all personalities. I’ve successfully managed unexpected situations, like safely retrieving a dog who got loose from its leash. I offer reliable, loving care for your dog, ensuring they get the attention and exercise they need while you’re away! I work full-time but have availability in the early mornings and afternoons Monday through Friday and possibly on weekends on a pre-scheduled basis. I’m flexible and happy to arrange walk times that fit your schedule, ensuring your dog gets the care and attention they deserve! I’m sorry I’m not able to take care of pets inside my own home due to sensitive household members. I am happy to take care of pets at your home and outside the home.
