“Jessica is very friendly and easy to work with. She did everything that was asked of her and was very communicative. I would ask her to look after our kitties again.”
About: Hi there! I’m Taylor and I have looked after dogs, big and small, since I was 12. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and have raised dogs of my own. I also worked as a Kennel Tech at Happy Tails (a small shelter in IL). I also have experience in enrichment activities as well as CPR. I am currently a stay at home mom of one, so I am able to spend time with your pets and even go for walks to our dog-friendly neighborhood park! I am also available for boarding. I have a small side yard, and a neighborhood perfect for walks. I live around the corner from a dog park, and I have a friendly dog of my own (Lola) that can keep your pup company. I can also crate your pet if needed.
“Madelyn was professional and communicative, and were sure she got along great with our kitty! She also went out of her way to retrieve an important package that was delivered while we were away.”
“Thank you to Lauren for the drop-in on my 3 pups. She had to contend with a rainy day in which 2 of my 3 have to be coaxed outside in the rain! Appreciate her patience and would recommend her to others.”
About: I took two years of a veterinary medicine class in high school where my main duties included taking care of class pets such as dogs, snakes, tortoises, rats, and leopard geckos. I worked at a local zoo for six months focusing on the housing of animals including chickens, goats, and tortoises. I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends since I was 12. I volunteer to walk dogs at a local shelter during my free time and I currently own a bearded dragon and a leopard gecko! I’m currently a third year college student, but I still make time to take care of pups! I’m free all day Wednesdays and weekends, other days I’m only available after 5pm! I treat every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important routines are so I stick to them while still giving lots of attention and playtime, and keeping their environment clean and calm.
“Mercedes came and did pop in visits to take care of our dog when we were away at a wedding. I reached out last minute and she was able to accommodate and did exactly as we asked. I would reccomend her to take care of your pets while you're away 100%.”
“Kaylee is absolutely wonderful! She is so incredibly sweet too. I swear I have separation anxiety from my cat and when we were away Kaylee sent a ton of pics to ease my heart :) She even stayed awhile and played with our cat and he absolutely loved that! 10/10 would recommend Kaylee–– we will be returning customers!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and rodents for more than a decade. I am very passionate and experienced with their personalities, needs, and care. I have also taken care of animals of all ages, even senior pets who need a little extra love and attention. I am happy to work with special needs pets as long as the owner works with me to establish a care plan. I am currently looking for full-time employment, so I will have lots of time to spend with your furry friend! This frees me up to take morning or evening walks with your buddy during the hot summer or fall months. I am happy to follow any instructions given by the owners and to cater the experience to each individual pet as needed. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I promise to always do my best to make sure they are comfortable and safe while they are in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of a couple of dogs in this area while people are on holiday leave or vacations. I enjoy dogs so much! I always had dogs growing up around the house and they are truly a man’s best friend! I currently work full-time during the day with a hybrid type work schedule that allows me to work from home part of the time. I have availability in the evenings and mostly weekends to be able to pet sit! The precaution of using a leash and making sure I am aware of using that for every single walk is crucial for safety on walks. I want to be able to care for your home well and lock up every time I come and go. I would most definitely ask for specific requests for your animals such as feeding time, when they need to go out, how often for walks to your specific liking.
“Sophia is EXCELLENT in all respects. She is very conscientious and amazing with dogs. She went above and beyond for us, addressing challenging issues in real time and responding flexibly when situations and needs changed. We are so grateful to have her caring for our dog!”
About: Hi! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years and know how important it is to find someone you trust. I treat every pup like family, whether it’s for a walk, playtime, or cozy hangouts. Your dog will be in loving, reliable hands! And I will send you lots of pictures of your dog while you are away! <3 I work full time but have long breaks throughout the day so I have time to visit your pup! I can provide potty breaks every 5-6 hours I walk my dog everyday and am committed to caring for her the best way I possibly can and it is no different for my clients dogs. I love dogs so much and enjoy being around them!
“Alaina did a great job! Churro was so happy to have someone walk him and play with him during the day. So thankful! We would definitely hire Alaina again for future visits.”
About: I’ve been in a constant home of taking care of animals from a young age. I’ve trained over 6 dogs for basic training and have homed three cats. I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).
About: I have loved animals since I was a little girl. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I’m committed to taking the best care of your fur baby. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust! I currently work from home all week & am available pretty much all day for potty breaks, feedings and play time! I live near a lot of trails and I love walking companions! I have one small dog who would absolutely love a play partner. I live in a very walkable location and my husband and I are constantly taking our dog for walks, another companion would be great! My schedule is so flexible so I am able to accommodate any specific needs!
About: I have owned and taken care of many animals since I was young including exotic and livestock animals. I have experience with training two very different breeds of dogs, one currently still in training. I work with kids at a summer camp fulltime but between me and my fiance the pets are never alone for more than 4 hours. My weekends are fully open and that's usually when I go on more enriching activities such as hikes, lakes, ECT. My cats at home are allowed to free roam and usually keep to themselves but my dog stays mostly in her pen because she's still being house trained. My house is on the smaller side so best suited for small to medium dogs instead of large.

Most importantly—she took absolutely outstanding care of my dog. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and even a few videos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog can be a little anxious in new environments, but Lexie treated her like family—patient, attentive, and full of love. When I picked up my pup, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur baby, but Lexie has earned my full trust and gratitude. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
Hannah R.
“Hannah doesn’t smoke and lives an active lifestyle. I’ve gone on many hikes with her and her dog. If your dog is active and needs adventure while you’re away, Hannah is your girl.”
