“Kailyn was very friendly, responsive and took great care of our dog, Francie. We have already made future reservations for her to watch out for Francie. Highly recommend her!!”


About: I have grown up always having a dog and being an intergal part of taking care of them. I have also been able to help relatives in assisting with care of their dogs when out of town. 2 years ago I adopted my own pup Bailey. She's my world! I currently am a student. My schedule is full time Monday-Thursday however I have time in the mornings/evenings and during lunch breaks when I am able to walk your pup as well as weekends! Currently Bailey and I live in Oak Park. She gets many walks throughout the day (during my lunch breaks and in mornings/evenings) and loves to go on my runs with me! She also gets frequent visits to her grandparents house where she plays with their dogs.


“This was our second time having April and she was just as phenomenal as the first time. Foremost, our dog adores her which gives us tremendous peace. Also, her communication is great, she is always timely, sends lots of pictures, and is just a genuinely sweet person all around. She even made sure to leave the TV on for Benny and brought in our mail and packages. We are super grateful for April and hope she will be available in the future for our sweet Benny. Thank you so much, April!”


“We've used Yulissa twice and she's great with communication and always takes great care of our kitty. Will definitely continue to contact her in the future. Thanks Yulissa!”


About: I have loved and taken care of dogs since I was young. From high energy puppies to senior dogs with health problems. I provide personalized care based off your dogs individual needs. I have been trusted by many family members, friends and neighbors to walk, feed, show love and affection, and even administer medications. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away!! I have a pretty open schedule during the weekdays. I am available weekdays from 11am-4pm and after 1pm on weekends!! I am very flexible with days and times!! When caring for your pets in your home, I aim to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine as close as possible. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and special care based off individual needs. I’m committed to meeting their unique needs. I will keep your home tidy and give regular updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and well-cared for.

About: I have had dogs in my home for the last ten years, but I loved dogs long before then. I have taken care of dogs for my neighbors and family friends, and I even fostered a dog in college. My friends and family always make fun of me for stopping to pet every dog I see. I am currently doing schoolwork online, so I have a very flexible schedule. It is easy for me to take breaks to walk a dog or bring my computer with me to dog sit. I am a very tidy person, so I will always clean up after myself and your dog. Toys will be picked up, food and water will be replenished regularly, leashes and harnesses will go right back where I found them, etc.

About: I’ve raised my dog since she was a puppy and grew up with cats, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments. I treat every animal with patience, love, and care—just like family. I'm a medical student with a flexible schedule, especially in the evenings and weekends. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m happy to make time for walks, play, and cuddles in my routine. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep a calm environment, and always prioritize the pet’s well-being. I also keep owners updated for peace of mind.

About: Animal lover and caring sitter. I have had A lifetime cat mother to adventurous, curious, scared, determined, misbehaving, chatty, quiet and ferocious felines. Kitten, puppy, elder, and medication experience. No stranger to cat nip and tennis balls. I am currently part-time and make my own schedule, so am available for your pet care needs. I also drive so it is easier for me to get to locations that are a bit father from me. I make sure to give the pet their own room when they are staying at my house. I limit interactions with my own pets, because I don't want to stress anyone out. I make sure to give pets in their homes the same exact comfort and care that they are allowed. I make sure to follow owners instructions, and keep them safe and calm.

“Paulina was very accommodating and patient with our fearful dog. She allowed us to go on our camping trip with the peace of mind that Milo was taken care of. She was very easy to communicate with and sent us frequent updates.”


About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, being willing to dog-sit for friends and family whenever I'm available. The types of dogs I have dealt with vary from high energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs and medication, and while everyone loves puppies I have felt myself connecting more to older dogs the more I care for them. I also have experience with doggy day care where I had to keep an eye on a significant amount of dogs with different ages and temperaments. I'm currently working all day Saturday and Sunday at a small business so I am unavailable on weekends, but on the the weekdays I am a caretaker for my fiance with fibromyalgia and would have plenty of time to do check-ins and walks during the day. I have experience with all sorts of animals and always try my very best at getting on their good side. I have been successful with everything from grumpy old Chihuahuas to anxious kennel dogs, so I am good at matching their energy allowing me to connect with all sorts. And I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty cleaning up potential accidents or getting a dog to swallow a pill as needed.

“Emily always does the most for my weirdo dogs. When my one dog decided to throw up during a recent visit, she stuck around late to make sure she was ok before heading out. Appreciate how thoughtful and reliable she is!”


About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was a cat, her name was Smoky when I was seven years old. At 11, I got my first puppy, a poodle, and by age 12, I had two more cats, Simba and Tigger. When I was 15, I got my second dog, a border collie named Darcy, who stayed by my side until she passed at 15 years old, she grew up with me and my kids. Even as a child, my parents made sure I was fully responsible for my pets, which taught me how to care for them properly, from grooming to training to making sure they were healthy, exercised, and loved. In 2016, I started offering pet care professionally. Since then, I’ve done part-time dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and boarding dogs in my home while their families are on vacation. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all kinds and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ll treat your pets like my own, with care, respect, and lots of love. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to care for pets throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine every morning, and I truly believe pets thrive on structure and stability, too. I’m flexible when needed, but I love having a daily rhythm, and that helps pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. In My Home Dogs: Your dog will enjoy a safe, welcoming environment with a fenced yard and one friendly resident dogs for company. I take dogs on morning and evening walks and also bring them to dog parks using my Forest Preserve dog park license when appropriate. I follow consistent feeding schedules and provide plenty of playtime, affection, and structure. Cats: While cats may be more independent, I make sure they have their own space, access to fresh water, food, and a clean litter box. I respect their need for quiet and let them come to me on their own terms, but when they want cuddles or play, I’m always ready. In Your Home Dogs: I make sure your dog feels secure in their familiar space by keeping their routine consistent. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, take them for walks, provide any grooming needs you request, and spend time giving them affection and attention, whether that’s playtime or just relaxing nearby. Cats: I understand that cats often do best in their own environment. I’ll make sure litter boxes are kept clean, food and water are refreshed, and any medications or care instructions are followed closely. I’ll also spend time with them so they don’t feel lonely, whether that means playing with their favorite toy or simply sitting nearby to provide quiet companionship.

“Amanda and Ryan helped me out when I had an emergency and couldn't get home to my pups! They were so nice and very quick to respond. They went out of their way to see if I needed anything additional!”


“Danielle has taken care of our 2 cats and dog for two years every time we leave town. She’s always willing to go above and beyond and water your plants or grab your mail. She sends detailed updates daily/throughout the day, is always so attentive and lets us know if she notices anything abnormal with the animals at all. She’s extremely flexible and works her schedule (even holidays) around taking care of them. Our animals have all come to love her. We couldn’t recommend her more! We’re about to move and will miss having her to take care of our fur babies.”

Abigale W.
“Abby has been walking my dog for a while now, and she’s consistently amazing. I was originally nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, but Abby instantly put me at ease. She took the time to learn my dog’s routine and quirks, and I always come home to a happy, tired pup. She’s incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. The photo and text updates give me so much peace of mind—always thoughtful and reassuring. If you're lucky enough to book her, she’s exactly the kind of person you want caring for your dog.”

Noa E.
“Noa is truly a pet’s best friend :) she’s kind, warm, and incredibly diligent in making sure your furry family member gets the best care and attention when you’re away. She will always tailor her care to what the pet needs most whether that be taking the long, scenic route while walking a pup, playing with a cat having a case of the zoomies, or simply watching over and giving the best head scratches if your pet just wants to cuddle and relax. Noa has watched over my doggos plenty of times, and every time they are excited and wagging their tails when they see her coming, the apartment is spotless when she leaves, and everyone is fed and happy when I get back home. She has also always been consistent in keeping up with their medication regimens when needed, easing my mind when I’m not able to be there for them. If you want the best care for your pet, you truly couldn’t ask for a more experienced, thoughtful, and reliable pet sitter than Noa. She will always be my go to when I have to go away.”

Jacob F.
“Jacob is a phenomenal pet-sitter. He is kind, compassionate, and loving to animals. He truly enjoys his furry clients and we are as completely comfortable leaving our dog and two cats in his care now as we were leaving our menagerie of pets in his care when he was growing up in our home! Jacob goes above and beyond to make sure all animals are happy and comfortable. We know pets can pick up on who loves them and who is "putting in their time"; because of that, we would never worry when we were away because when we came home, all fur babies were relaxed and happy and well-cared for. Jacob is reliable, trustworthy, and communicates well, even sending updates and photos. This is a much-needed peace of mind for me when away from home. He is definitely a first-rate service provider. Anyone can leave home knowing their pets well be in good hands with Jacob.”

Sarah also helps with dog walking during the week when my schedule gets hectic. She’s incredibly reliable, kind, and clearly has a special bond with animals. I completely trust her in my home and with my dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible pet sitter.”
