About: With over a decade of hands on animal care experience, I provide dependable walks and attentive home visits rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine care. My experience in animal shelters, professional grooming, and veterinary medicine has allowed me to work with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, helping me understand their individual needs, adapt to different personalities, and remain calm in new or challenging situations. . Clear communication is one of my top priorities. After every walk or drop in, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I pay attention to the little things, from changes in energy and appetite to shifts in mood or behavior, because those details often matter most. . Whether you need recurring walks, midday check ins, or dependable care while you’re away, I show up on time, respect your home, and help maintain the routines your pet knows and trusts. As the owner of a very smart senior poodle, I understand the trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to build that trust through consistency, attentiveness, and open communication, while providing the kind of care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether you need recurring walks, drop-in visits, or last-minute care, I prioritize clear communication and dependable service. My goal is to keep your pet on as consistent a schedule as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household guidelines you provide. Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate the little details that help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special bedtime routine, or even a specific way they like their meals prepared, I’m happy to help.

About: I have owned a dog my entire life. I have lived with four, including our old foster dog. I am a kitten foster with Humane Indiana since 2020. Since then, I have fostered over 30 kittens. I am used to the hard work that comes with taking care of animals, and more than happy to do so. I am currently a full time college student so will have time to take care of your pet before, after, and in between my classes. My weekends are pretty free. I have a fenced in backyard along with one dog (king charles spaniel). He is very friendly but can stay separate if need be. I have four cats that are used to other animals with my fostering experience. They will stay away from dogs or can be in the basement.

About: I love dogs and I do care for my own dog everyday. She is a husky and is more high maintenance than most dogs. I have owned 2 other dogs in the past that have both crossed the rainbow bridge. I treat all dogs like family and make sure they are comfortable. I am currently home from college for the summer so I am available all day, everyday until August 14th! I will be able to walk and care for dogs on short notice. As long as I know where all the things needed for your dog are in your home, I will be able to fully care for them! Whether they need food, a walk, playtime, or anything else!

“On time. Great walk. Friendly”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5. I have had 2 dogs in my life time and I just really love animals. I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have a pretty open schedule and available a lot. My schedule is pretty open and I will have lots of time to take care of your animals. I take pride in making sure I have time for animals because they are very important for me. I make sure that whenever I am taking care of a dog or cat they are supervised and especially if they are outside. I will also make sure they have water and food and they use the bathroom regularly.

“Bridget was amazing! Our dog Luna loved her. She was reliable and very sweet to our wild dog. She actually went out of her way to help us when she noticed an ant problem while we were out of town. We will definitely be booking her for our next trip!”

About: I have always loved animals, and have grown up with dogs since I was born! I have been volunteering at local shelters since I was in 7th grade because I can’t get enough of animals. In high school, my family had 5 (decently sized) dogs so I am well versed in taking care of many high energy dogs at once. No dog could surprise me because my dogs have probably done it already. I am a film student at DePaul so my schedule is very wonky compared to other students. I often have large gaps between classes and a lot of free nights, where I spent most of my time writing for my major! Seeing animals throughout my day makes my mood so much better so pet care would make my life a lot lighter in some ways! I am a very fast learner so whatever makes you comfortable or your pet comfortable, that is what I will do! I want your pets to feel loved and cared for, so if that is playing with them, cuddling with them, whatever it may be, I’m there. And whatever quirks they may have, I can adjust to that too. Same for homes, I always expect people to respect my home and the same goes for yours!

“Nicole is amazing with my dog Mia. I really appreciate her going above and beyond for me and Mia. It gives me a peace of mind while I'm at work.”

About: I have owned dogs since I was a child and have two happy pups of my own who I love more than anything! I treat every dog like they’re part of my crew—lots of love, playtime, and attention to their little quirks. I keep things fun, will send plenty of updates, and make sure your pet feels safe and content! I’m a teacher, so from June through mid-August I’m home full-time. During the school year (mid-august through May) my availability becomes more limited to weekends and holiday breaks. Drop-In Visits: During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for at home. Visits include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Dog Walking: Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn off energy, I provide safe, reliable walks! I’ll ensure they get exercise and enrichment while keeping you updated along the way!

“I have big dogs. They are trained, but I still tend to worry about their strength taking an outside person by surprise. Alex was GREAT with my Boerboels (aka South African mastiffs). I really look forward to her working with my dogs again!”

About: I’ve had a family dog for 10 years that we walk everyday. I have been dog sitting for 7 years and love it every time. I’ve worked with all sorts of dogs from 4 week old puppies to a 160lb English mastiff. I will walk, feed, bathe, play, and love your dog while you can’t. I am an architecture student at Harvard. I love dogs and have a somewhat flexible class schedule to take care of yours! I can’t wait to have a dog of my own but shorter term stays with pets is the best I can manage at the moment. For services at your home, I’d treat your space with respect and courtesy. I’m thankful for your trust to let me into your home and would care for your pets however you see fit.

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was around 10 years old. Dogs, cats, parakeets, bunnies, guinea pigs and even ducks!. Currently have one dog living with me in my apartment. My dream is to own a house with a big backyard for my dog to enjoy. I’d also like to open a dog shelter in Peru and rescue as many dogs and cats as I can with the financial help of friends and family members. I’ve taken care of a couple dogs from the families I used to nanny for. I have excellent references. I work part time (roughly 25 hours) so my schedule is somewhat flexible. If booked in advanced (3 weeks or more) I can work around your pet’ s needs. I will treat your fur baby as if it was mine. The same way I’d like someone to watch my baby for when I’m away. I don’t mind the shedding hair, drool or even poop. It’s Pretty simple. I currently have the summer off. I live close to Meadow road and love going to the trails for long walks. I like to keep a routine when it comes to feeding and walk times. I also can rent in advanced a fenced in backyard for your pup to run off leash and no other dogs on site. Not every dog is the same, some love to sleep, play or keep it to themselves. I usually go for walks first, then play time. I will bring my computer if I need to work on my website or watch a show.

Someone can be with your baby all day. I care for your pets as if they are ours! My husband and I have had animals our whole lives. Rest assured your puppies are in great hands.

“I would highly recommend Lilly if your looking for a reliable and caring dog walker/sitter. She has always gone above and beyond for our dog Kylo and she is also very understanding when it comes to a schedule change. My job continued changing my scheduled days due to the pandemic, Lilly was able to figure out a way to still make it work for us. Which we really appreciated. She even contacted Rover for us to ensure we got refunded for days that we may have cancelled. Not to mention, she also makes notes after every walk to make sure we always in the loop with Kylo. Lilly is the best!”
