About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and have experience caring for both. I have my own pet dog who is a 10 year old mixed breed. I have administered medications and am comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I am a college student and am free for the summer. Have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I like going on walks with my dog clients and am happy to offer pets and treats to your fur baby while you are away. I can provide companionship, walks, feeding and toileting for your pets. Comfortable with both dogs and cats and can assist with any special needs they may have.

“Suzanne was very nice, punctual and I had complete confidence in her. This was a long time away and the first time I’d left my cat for so long. Suzanne sent me photos and reassured me all was well. And it was. With my cat, with my condo and thus with my trip. Thanks so much. I will certainly ask for her again.”

“Brandon provided exceptional service, and I would highly recommend him. He went above and beyond to ensure our pet, Bruno, was well cared for, and we truly couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Despite the short notice, Brandon made himself available, which allowed us to proceed with our trip when we thought it might not be possible. He checked on Bruno in our home, and we felt completely comfortable and confident having him there. We are very grateful to have found Brandon and would confidently recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated pet sitter.”

“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”

About: Hi! My name is Alysia, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years through family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. During visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine. Whether that means a long walk, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work at a childcare center, where responsibility, patience, and attention to detail are essential every day. Those same qualities carry over into the care I provide for pets. I understand how important updates are when you’re away, so I always send photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:50 PM to 5:30 PM, which allows me to provide morning walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and playtime before work. I am also available on Tuesdays and Thursdays for additional daytime care and can accommodate evening visits after work. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and always make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I do not usually have dogs stay at my house because I have family members who are allergic but I am very respectful of your space. I make sure that they are fed at the exact times needed especially if they have a certain schedule and make sure that they get their exercise daily.

About: Your pet's safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I'm highly responsible, observant, and will strictly follow all specific feeding, walking and household instructions. I work full time M-Th and remotely on Fridays. My afternoons are pretty flexible though. My weekends are also open. I work in University Park and live in Oak Forest. I don't have the capacity to bring pets into my home. I have an older cat who relishes being the one and only fur baby!

“Robin did a fantastic job checking-in and walking my dogs while I was out of town. She sent pictures of the pets while she was at the house and gave a summary of her visit once she left. I will definitely use her services in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable person to look after their pets.”

About: I offer a home-based boarding experience designed for pets who deserve thoughtful, elevated care. My home is calm, beautifully maintained, and intentionally structured—ideal for dogs who thrive on routine, comfort, and personalized attention. I share my home with a 15-year-old miniature poodle, so I selectively welcome only gentle, compatible dogs to maintain a peaceful, low-stress environment. With limited capacity, each guest receives attentive supervision, individualized care, and a nurturing, high-quality stay. I’m enjoying early retirement and have chosen to devote my time to providing full-time, attentive care for dogs. This allows me to be consistently present, unhurried, and deeply focused on each guest’s comfort, routine, and overall well-being throughout their stay. I have a beautiful and clean spacious split level home for your fur baby to freely move around in. My home features a securely fenced yard designed for safe, supervised playtime. Dogs enjoy calm outdoor breaks and gentle activity in a controlled environment, always under attentive supervision to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

About: I’ve had many pets since the age of 6 years old and I’ve always had an absolute love for any and all animals out there. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule for every one needed. I’m available on weekdays (Mon-Thurs) from 12pm and weekends (Fri-Sun) after 5:30pm. I have many experiences with caring for other owners’ fur babies in their home and I’m as respectful as I can be in their houses. I can send many pictures if the client needs them in order to be comfortable.

About: Hi! I will care for your pet as I do my own. I know dogs need lots of attention and activity. I love to get outside and walk them. My little Teddy loves other dogs too. He is ok with bigger dogs. We go to the dog park a lot so he’s very social. I am flexible and would love to meet you and your dog. My son is a huge dog lover also. Give us a chance, you won’t regret it! I’m ok with dogs on the furniture and wherever. I will listen to you for tips of course because nobody knows your pet like you do. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I know I’ve needed dog sitters in the past! I am off work right now so I have a pretty open schedule! I’m really looking forward to watching your dogs. Pick me! Pick me! My house is fine, or yours. I am trying to do whatever makes sense for you. I have usually dropped my dog off but am not opposed to staying at your house if you prefer that. I may ask to bring my dog Teddy with! He’s 18 pounds, and very sweet. Loves all other dogs!

“Bob does a great job taking care of our puppy while we’re at work! He makes sure our puppy gets lots of playtime and attention! Even on a snowy day, Bob made sure she got plenty of outside time 😊”

About: I care for dogs like they're my own. I have 20 years of pet care experience. I am equipped to handle any size dog. I love to take them running , teach new tricks, and overall make them feel like they're at home. Even if your dog is high energy, I will run with them , play games, and keep them entertained for as long as they're under my care. If your dog loves belly rubs, tricks for treats, and needs an enormous amount of attention then look no further. I can provide your dog with the home away from home experience and whether you're at work, or on vacation, your mind can be at ease because your dog will be safe and in good hands. I also do drop-ins and I can watch your dog in your home as well. I currently work from home, 35 hours a week so whether I need to take a dog for a walk or drop ok to feed some cats or dogs , it’s not a problem for me at all. I care for my clients pets as if they were my own. I don’t like to be bored so when your pet is with me , they won’t be bored either ! I’m really active and I love to get the pets the exercise they need and deserve.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life ranging from fish, amphibians, rodents, birds, cats, and dogs. I love connecting with animals and giving them all the love they deserve! I also am a former vet assistant (I now work at a vet lab) so I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and health statuses. My priority is the pets’ safety and comfort, and will work with them to ensure we have a foundation of trust. I also can work enrichment into my visits to get their minds more stimulated or just give them a 15 minute belly rub if that’s more up their alley. I’ve also trained many of my pets so I can help introduce basic commands to puppies or reinforce commands and manners from older pets. I’m available pretty much every day for the summer. Once mid-August comes around, I’ll be available Sunday-Tuesday at all times and Wednesday-Saturday from 9-11 AM I can come in let the pets out, clean up messes from them, feed/water, play enrichment games or work on training, and give them lots of love!

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
