I have a large and small breed dogs and she handled them very well. Simba is a 60 pounds puppy and I am super impressed how she handled his excitement and reinforce his training. Looking forward to many walks and drop ins. Thanks Natalie 😊💜”

“If you’re looking for a compassionate, experienced, and reliable dog sitter, Tanya is the one to call! We have four energetic dogs ranging from 100 pounds to just 25 pounds, and she handles them all with ease. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or keeping them on their best behavior, Tanya goes above and beyond. Having her care for our pups gives us true peace of mind when we travel, knowing they’re in the best hands. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Kathleen was great in taking care of our two somewhat needy pups. She took them for a nice long walk and was very quick and frequent in communication. I will come back to Kathleen for future walks!”

“We starting using Lori about two weeks ago and she has been great. Chelsea, our dog, loves her. The weather had been rainy windy and cold lately but she is still taking great care of her and it truly puts my mind at ease while working knowing Chelsea is in good reliable hands. ”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of our family dogs for their care. I have years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I am a lover of all dogs. I am a college student and am free all Summer. I can watch your pets/home any day or time. I have a very flexible schedule. While watching your pets, their safety and well-being are my utmost priority as well as following owner's instructions. I provide a fun and loving companion for your pet while you are away.

About: I've grown up around animals of all kinds and have also provided care for many of them along the way. I take pride in ensuring any animal in my care is safe, happy and healthy from the day they arrive to the day they leave! (We have a female dog who we'd love to let meet more friends, if possible!) I am currently working a "choose your own shift" schedule, so I can dedicate as little or as much time as possible, to your beloved animal(s)! Schedule open to discussion, dependent on the individuals wants and needs. I have a fenced in dog park and a few walking trails where I reside. I am happy to provide walks and playtime to those in my care!

“My Labrador, Martha, adores Eddie. He’s been helping me with dog walking after I fractured my ankle. Eddie is great with communication and a cheerful, pleasant young man. I am very grateful for his help. I plan to continue the service after my ankle heals because seeing Eddie makes Martha so happy!”

About: I have had dogs since I was 10 , and I've always had a passion for them. When I was younger, I would read books about every type of dog I could get my hands on. I'll be good for your pets because I'm able to adjust to every individual need for your animals. I've watched dogs for friends and family for many years while they were on vacation. I have spent the last few years working in commercial pet care at various daycare and boarding facilities. This includes dogs, cats, birds and various small rodents. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make your dogs, and yourself as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to go on frequent walks of any duration or difficulty. I used to take one of my own dogs hiking so I'm willing and able to do whatever they are used to. I'm also happy to be at your home as frequently as you'd prefer, and I'd love to maintain open communication with you while you are away. I have also recently acquired a PACCC certification. I’m freelancing at the moment so I have an open schedule at the moment. I am available Mondays, and Wednesday - Saturday. Sundays are also available upon request. I always prefer to meet with pet parents so I can be aware of any potential safety problems in the home and when walking dogs I like to bring a secondary slip leash to use so that in case anything happens to the first leash/collar, your pet is unable to slip away from me.

About: I’ve had pet dogs for my whole life and truly love them. From puppies to elderly pets. As of last year I said goodbye to my pet and won’t be replacing her. But I’d very much like to borrow your pet dog! We can discuss your needs and requirements to be sure that your dog will receive the best care necessary. I work part time time and remotely but my schedule is flexible. I prefer not to drive after dark. Early mornings are okay. Mondays and Thursdays I have other commitments. In the past with my own dogs, our routine was out for pottying first thing in the morning. Breakfast feeding. Daytime walks. Evening meals and outdoor pottying before bed.

“Dunja was great! She was prompt, friendly, and gave me updates on Trixie's walk and behavior. Will book again.”

About: I am currently a 5th year PhD student studying Neuroscience at Loyola University Chicago. I’ve had at least one dog in my household my entire life. When I was 12, my family adopted another dog and I fully trained her. To this day, of the 5 dogs we’ve cared for, she is most obedient. I have a lot of experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. Three years ago, I adopted a 10 year old dog that was rescued from the dog-meat trade in China, she is living her best life now. My first pet was a 125lb Akita and the one I trained is under 50lbs. I am very comfortable with all types and sizes of dogs. Recently, my good friend rescued a cat and showed me how to play with them, pet them, slowly blink at them, and now every cat I’ve come across loves me. I work full-time on a very flexible schedule. So long as I can get my work done each day, I can bend my hours. This way I can plan work around caring for your pets. I live in an apartment complex and therefore take my dog for slow short walks everyday as she is arthritic and cannot walk very well. I would be thrilled to go on longer walks at a brisk or normal pace with your doggos. I live in the parking lot across from Doc Ryan’s Bar. I’m not hard to reach or find. I am a student, so I have a lot of free time to spend with your fluffers! I can take your pet on day walks or keep them company while you're out of town. I am a loving caretaker of all animals. Expect snakes, we just don't understand each other. I typically require a visit to introduce myself to your pet while you're there. That way you can witness us becoming best friends.
