“Rachael was a wonderful sitter. She gave us regular, personal updates and sent pictures twice a day when she visited. I could really tell that she cares about animals and treated our dogs and cat like her own. It was also a very nice touch that she brought in our mail. I would certainly recommend her services to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“Lauren was wonderful! I was in a bind and needed someone last minute and she came through. My dog is very wary of strangers but warmed up to Lauren quickly. I am already booking her again and would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs through various experiences. I am responsible and dependable. I have owned dogs my entire life and currently have a 3 year old energetic boxer mix. I trained my own pup from 7 weeks old and attended a 12 week training course with her. Positive tones and patience are key. I love being active and getting outside and can guarantee your dog a happy and active experience! I am a full time teacher! I have summers and other school breaks off. I will be available for dog walking in the afternoons starting May 29th. During the month of June I work summer school but am available for dog walking any time after 1:00 pm. I am looking to help during vacation times and long weekends. For house sitting, I am willing to stay from 7am to 11pm but will not be available for overnights for initial clients. I am available for meet and greets beforehand! I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your home and animals as I would my own. I have reliable transportation and can be there for your pet several times a day. I love being outdoors and active and would love to walk or run your dog as you see fit. I will send updates including photos and videos to let you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve always been very passionate in animals. I have taken care of animals since I was 12 years old. I started my own dog treat business when I was 13 year old. I am currently a student at Joliet Junior college. I am looking for a part time job. I will be available during the day and overnight. I have no pets. I currently live with my parents. My mom is allergic to animals so I will not be able to take them to my home.
“Julia was amazing! I needed someone sort of last minute and she was out of town but made sure to make it back and to our house for a meet and greet. She came and took care of everything, sent pics and an update which eased any worry about being gone long. Definitely will use Julia in the future!”
“Christine did a great job taking care of my two dogs. I had some late days that kept me away from home and Christine did drop in visits each day. She was a life saver and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Bridgitt was the best, very easy to work with and accommodating to our needs! Myself and the cats felt comfortable with her right away, and she was great about keeping me updated on specific things I was concerned about (like their recently pickier eating habits). Very grateful for her relatively last-minute help and competency, which is something that you can’t take for granted these days! Also appreciated how seriously she took it, and especially that the cats did seem to like her! Will book again”
“Alyssa did a drop in visit while we were at a wedding all day. She was very kind and very responsible - my dog loved her. We highly recommend Alyssa, we will be calling her again :)”

About: My husband & I recently moved to Manhattan! We were dog sitting when we lived in the city & hope to continue here in the suburbs! We are total dog lover and can't wait to spend some time with your furry friend! I currently work full time as a school social worker. I’m typically away from home until 4pm. I'm confident that I will be able to work around your scheduling needs. I can accommodate to the needs of your dog and home based on your preference! Whatever routine your pup has, I will stick to it!
“Roisin has watched my dog 3 or 4 times now. I can always count on Roisin to take great care of her. She's trustworthy and reliable. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have owned my own cats for 15 years now. They are constantly cuddled and pampered. My husband and I adopted our two dogs 10 years ago. They go on car rides with us, and long walks. They love chew toys, and bones. When I lived at home I took care of all of our senior pets. I was raised in a household where pets are family. I would take care of your animals like they were one of my own. I am a teacher full time, but I am available full time during the summers. I am around in the evenings during the school year. I can walk your dogs, let them out in a fenced yard, play with them, and give lots of cuddles. I also love cats and can scoop litter boxes, play with them, and give them cuddles.
About: Hello! My names Brittany! I am a mother to an 18 month old boy with a 3 year old Anatolian Shepard and two cats! I work from home 3 days a week and would love to help out in the area where I can! If there are any questions or comments, please let me know and I will gladly get back to you in a timely manner! Hope to hear from you soon! It’s part of my daily routine with a dog and two cats! Cats get for every morning and then they all eat at 3pm for dinner. No comment. No in home care will be part of my services. Sorry about that & thank you for understanding as it’s hard on my cats.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I started working at a veterinarian clinic when I was in high school and eventually became a veterinary technician. My time working has allowed me to gain multiple skills from caring for senior animals to administering many different forms of medication. Whatever care your pet needs, I’ll be able to handle it! I am currently a student, so I am mainly free on the weekends. Depending on your location, week nights can possibly work for me as well! When I am with your pet, they will have my undivided attention. Whether they are a youngster who needs a lot of play time, or an older pet who just needs some extra cuddles. I have worked with a wide variety of sizes and types of animals so I can handle just about anything!
