About: Hi Fur parents! Here’s a gist of my experience my journey 15 years ago when I started dog walking for income. I went into the animal career field for college and studied to be a veterinarian nurse. I worked for dog day cares, had daycare in my own home, and worked for several animal hospital as a veterinarian assistant. When I changed my major to clinical psychology I still wanted to incorporate my passion for animals in my life even though I wasn’t going to continue with the Vet Med. I still wanted to use my knowledge and love for those little paws! So here I am, My family and I work as a team we love getting the chance to provide care for our clients.

About: Hi there! My name is Mia (: Who better to watch your furry babies other than someone who GETS it? As a proud mom to my two adorable kitties, Loki and Goose, and big sister to my family’s husky-Akita, Xela, I understand the importance of finding a good pet sitter. I know firsthand that it's not just about responsibility—it's about kindness, respect, and a genuine love for animals. That’s the kind of care I provide, and it’s why my family and friends always turn to me when they need a trustworthy sitter. Your pets deserve the best, and I’m here to give them just that! I would absolutely love the chance to care for your pets as if they were my own while I’m here! 🐾 Can’t wait to meet your adorable crew! I work from home so I'm super flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs! I love going on walks throughout the day, so I'm happy to take walking breaks whilst working. I care for your furry friends like they're my own — with kindness, compassion, and safety at the forefront. I like to know the nitty gritty — what do they like, what do they not like? Medications? funny quirks? tell me it all and I'm happy to fit into your dynamic.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16, from all sizes and several different breeds. Many people have relied and trusted me to feed dogs as well as take them on daily walks and have play time. I am working part- time at the moment and have plenty of time to dog sit as well as do daily walks and play time! I have a huge yard for your dog to run around, as well as room for a crate / bed. I also live in a pretty quiet area so it’s good for walks!

About: I’ve lived in Chicago since 2021 but am originally from NW Indiana where my family has had dogs in the home since I was in 4th grade. We have had dogs of different sizes throughout the years and I am very comfortable around any breed or age of dog. I’m always around pups and would love to meet your furry friend next! The last 3 dogs my family added to our home were all adopted from local shelters. The eldest, Theo (fluffy white dog in pics), went blind about five years ago so I do have experience caring for blind pets as well. I work full time but work from home 4 days a week and have a very flexible work schedule. I am able to take walks and breaks throughout the day with no issues. I am also available in the evenings and can work with you on arrangements as needed! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, shy, puppy or elder. I am detail oriented and very respectful of other people’s belongings and time. I get along great with all dogs and will follow any instructions directed by the owner! Safety is my top priority and I will only walk dogs on a leash and in areas you are comfortable with!

“Very reliable and great communication. Alan and April were very accommodating if I had last minute schedule changes. Always sent lots of great pictures.”

About: I have 18 years of animal care experience, including my beloved dog Belle, who was part of the family for 11 years before she went to doggy heaven. I worked at a veterinary center for 2 years and a doggy daycare, so I know exactly how to care for every type of dog. I also have experience with dog walking and doing house visits - just my first time using Rover! As far as training experience, I interned at the Shedd Aquarium working alongside dolphin, otter, and penguin trainers so I even have a stash of knowledge about animal training. I have a Bachelor of Science in animal sciences, so I understand your pets inside and out. I have a lot more experience with animal care that I would love to share, just send me a message! Sundays and Mondays are usually open. During the week, I'm mostly available for evening drop-in visits and walks after 5pm or so, but I may have some flexibility so feel free to ask! I always treat my clients' homes with respect. Locking the door back while I walk your dog, cleaning up any messes, and sticking to task are all part of my routine. Because of my years of animal care experience, I am trained to look for abnormal behaviors in pets and follow-up. I provide photos and messages with updates so you never have to worry if everything is alright. Currently, I do not own any pets of any kind so you don't have to worry about your pet interacting with any other animals.

About: I worked at a doggy daycare in the past and gained extensive experience with most dog breeds and their temperament. I owned a labrador for 12 years so I have plenty of experience with high energy/high maintenance pets. I garauntee I will take care of your pet as if it were my own. I am very active and can keep up the pace with high energy dogs! I am happy to accommodate specific requests for your pets to make sure they’re comfortable and feel safe while they’re in my care. Feel free to ask me any additional questions about my qualifications or my background in taking care of dogs. I look forward to taking care of your furry friends! :) I’m self employed, so my schedule is very flexible during the day. I can take last minute walks or drop-in visits with little inconvenience to my work. I have expertise in reading a dogs body language whether it be happy, excited, feeling social, distressed, or scared. While you’re gone, you can trust that I will listen to your pet’s needs. While I do not accept boarding, I do offer home visits.

About: I am very active and can provide any type of exercise that your pet needs. I am also very meticulous so if your pet has a diet they need to stick to I’ll make sure it’s met. I would also be happy to follow the needs of your pups whether that be administering medication or carrying them up and down the stairs! I am so thankful to be in college and as a student I am currently fully remote which means I’ll have 100% of my attention to give to your pet! I have 2 dogs that are very friendly when meeting new pups but I introduce them slowly to make sure that the environment is relaxed. But in some cases where pups have food aggression or possessiveness over toys I make sure to keep them apart and bring them out once the food/toys are put away.
