“Eliana was absolutely amazing. My partner and I have a disabled fur baby with a number of special needs, and Eliana was incredibly diligent, asked all the right questions, followed our instructions closely, and took such great care of Miss Bean and our home. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and couldn’t have been more appreciative. I will absolutely be reaching back out for future travel plans. She was a dream to have stay with our fur baby!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old and can’t imagine life without them. From volunteering at shelters to pet sitting, walking, and fostering, animals have always been a huge part of my world. Now at 27, I bring over 19 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments including seniors and pets who need special care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting. I’m comfortable administering medications . I’ve also helped with basic training and behavior support. As a former teacher, I bring an extra level of responsibility, trustworthiness, and calm presence to the pets and families I work with. My schedule is typically flexible on the weekends and on weekdays I am able to provide direct care before and after work hours. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s unique needs and routine where I can. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’d love to be your go-to pet care person. I treat every animal like family because they are. My top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide personalized care that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I make sure your pet stays on their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I keep their environment clean, cozy, and calm, and I always respect your space and preferences. I provide lots of love, attention, and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Growing up my family always had multiple pets at once. All the way from different aquariums, to guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I’ve been a proud dog mom to my son bandit for 12 years, i’m 23 now. In my late teens I worked at a pet store for about two years, during that time I accumulated vast knowledge of different types of animal friends. My whole life has been filled of all different types of pet care ! Recently, in July, I moved here from Florida. I’ve been a licensed barber there for two years, and I’m currently in the process of transferring my license to Illinois, which will take a long time. So I currently have open availability. I plan to provide pet care in my clients’ homes, so I can keep their pets comfy in their familiar environment. In doing so, I will make sure to follow their normal feeding, walking, potty, and play routines as closely as possible. I will also make sure they receive plenty of care and supervision just as i would want for my own.

I am remove Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays for a remote work buddy, or I can do any weekday after 5pm or anytime on weekends Safety and care are my top priorities.

“Nicole was the absolute best with your boy Chico. He need alot of specialized attention and is reactive with other dogs and she navigated everything like a pro. She left our home spotless and was so respectful while staying. We got so many pictures and updates - it was the first trip I had where I didn’t have anxiety about how Chico was doing. She even trimmed his nails and got him a bandana - can’t say enough great things. Will 1000% book with Nicole again”

About: I’ve always had a dog in my household and understand the need for love, play, and care. My parents have a samoyed and border collie, which are highly active dogs, and I make it my priority to spend time with them outside whenever I visit home. I’m currently unemployed so I’m available from 9-4 during the weekdays. I can also do weekends, but my schedule changes every so often but can be worked out! I have plenty of toys, trees, scratchers, and space to watch your pets. I do not use plug-in scents, candles, or any harsh cleaning chemicals.

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a kid, I had a high energy yellow lab before and now I have 2 pitbull mixes and one of them is deaf. I use to volunteer at PAWS Chicago a few years ago, so I have been trained with reading a dog’s body language, deescalation tactics, and dog safety measures! I currently am focusing on my education which is fully remote via online. So, my schedule is open unless otherwise stated in the calendar. You let me know what your beloved pet schedule is and I will include them into my schedule if I am not already booked. I have had my previous dog rusty since he was a puppy, so I have had first-hand experience with potting training, teaching them how to sit and stay, and have experience with high-energy dogs. I now have 2 pitbulls / mixed breeds. One since a puppy and the other since 2025 when she found us and ran at me from a alleyway. The alleyway dog "Joy" is deaf, so my experience includes dogs with little to no hearing. I will take your dog out on walks and give them all the pets and attention they want. If they want to play fetch outside, I will do that at a local dog park or in the yard, whatever you are most comfortable with.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and grew up in a home where we always had pets around. I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats of different personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive and affectionate, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship and following any specific routine or instructions your pet is used to. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. This gives me lots of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime and keeping your pets company. I can also be flexible with timing and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’m very attentive and will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines and any special needs. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’ll respect both their space and your home and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

Zhanna was absolutely wonderful! She was super friendly, caring, and easy to communicate with. Toby and Mela both loved her and seemed so happy and comfortable with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Zhanna to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter, and we’d happily book with her again! 🐾

We booked Lynette on short notice for a week-long stay with our two Shibas, and she exceeded every expectation! She handled their quirks and initial separation anxiety with so much patience, kindness, and intuition. We loved getting great photo updates every single day! When one of our pups had a small accident the morning of departure, Lynette handled it immediately with total transparency, washing the sheets and all the towels without being asked. She left our home immaculate and our dogs completely happy and relaxed. Lynette is trustworthy, proactive, and a fantastic sitter—she will be our first call next time we travel!

Jessica is absolutely amazing. My wife and I have both a Pomeranian 7yo and 21 yo Cat who we have never left alone -even a night. In Mr. Cats entire 21 yo life he has only been without us for 3 days 10+ years ago, and without me (who he is strongly strongly bonded to) 7days this past Febrauary. So, needless to say we were very anxious about leaving them- especially our wise elder Mr. Cat, but were soon relieved when we saw the type of person Jessica was and how she treated our boys She sent tons of entertaining updates that we would always look forward to, and great videos. Our house was immaculate when she left- probably cleaner than when she got there 😆. Consistent walks were always done- and our stubborn Pomeranian even seems to be walking better. Overall we couldn't imagine a better person to recommend than Jessica. We are now able to finally travel without fear of leaving two our kids at home. Thank you❤️

We were gone for almost a week, and Arsema took such wonderful care of our little guy! She kept us informed of any health concerns she noticed and was incredibly accommodating, even helping us get medication we hadn’t originally discussed to make sure he was feeling his best. She sent us tons of videos and updates, and it was clear how happy and comfortable he was with her. She spent plenty of time playing with him, taking him on walks, and making sure he was well cared for. We would absolutely book with Arsema again! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little boy and giving us peace of mind while we were away!

Eliana watched our two pups in our home for the weekend. She was very responsible and good with the dogs. Both of the pups are barkers and take a minute to warm up to new people. Eliana was patient with them and gave them space while they got comfortable. As a result they were cuddling her by the end of the day. She followed our walking and feeding requests and gave the pups lots of attention and playtime. She was tidy and respectful of our home - it was just as clean or cleaner than we left it. Overall great experience and we look forward to working with her again!
