Dog Sitting in Melrose Park

“Maddie is very responsive, reliable, and accommodating with last-minute requests. She’s great with Ollie and always leaves thoughtful notes and pictures after her visits. We really appreciate her help!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”

About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz

About: I am a huge animal person. I have had 2 cats and 2 dogs my whole life. They are all at different stages of life, one of my dogs and both of my cats being either senior citizens or leg- amputees. I have a very large, young, and energetic dog as well. I can take of pets at any age or with disabilities, and I love them all! I love to help animals. I’m currently home for the Summer without a full time job so my schedule is very open! I am pretty much open any day or any time needed! I love to play with dogs or cats and I want them to feel safe at all times! I can do whatever they may need on potty breaks or visits, and walks as well. I am very attentive on walks and such because I have a big dog who is quiet the puller on walks, so I am used to it!

“We always ask Chris to babysit our 3 cats and are secure in knowing she will take great care of them. She is always attentive and gives the best updates and photos.”

“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have raised 2 dogs since puppies until older age. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Love them all. I have no pets at the moment so any pet I care for will receive lots of love. Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy

“Rhianna goes above and beyond! She will care for your pets as if they are her own. She plays with them, give them loves and snuggles, even teaches them tricks! I would highly recommend her to anyone and will continue using her for as long as she’s available.”

About: 23 years of dedication & genuine love for what I do. I've pretty much done it all except for training. Primarily grooming but also have extensive experience with walking, boarding, day care, home/vacation visits & house sits. I've been a home groomer for the past 8 years but due to allergies, need to switch modes. Over those years I regularly attended workshops & seminars to continue to educate myself & hone my craft. Including certification courses in puppy handling, senior care, proper sanitization, business compliance, skin assessment, & CPR. This only means I have been educated on these subjects, I am not an expert. As mentioned, I was a home groomer so I'll be turning my grooming room into an area for daycare/boarding. I am home based and plan to stay that way. Pets in my home will have a designated area for eating & sleeping but will have freedom to walk about for the most part. I have a large, fenced back yard with plenty of space to run & play. The yard will be the primary potty area. Walks are available for an added charge. Caring for pets in the clients home will be based on the instructions given by owner.

“Carlee was great! She took good care of my girls and followed my instructions.”

“Cheryl was great with our dog Luna. She came to meet with her a week before and answered our questions. On the day of the visit Cheryl was great and provided us an update and pictures and Luna clearly had a great time.”

“Eren is awesome!! Very professional, warm and friendly! She is very communicative and great with my little guy! She ensured everything I asked her to do for him and my place was done right!”

About: I love animals and am passionate about giving them good, healthy lives. I have experience and am trained to work with animals, temper aggressive breeds, and administer medication if needed. I am active and have no problem with long or frequent walks. I work from home, so no animal will ever be left unattended in my care. I don't mind pets on the furniture and I have a wide open living room space for play time. Everything is per your instruction, just let me know any accommodations I can make and Ill have them arranged for your pup! Pet care is a daily part of my routine. I am with an animal every day and I love exercising with them and just generally spending time! I can easily crate a dog if needed, and have a large open living room for play time. I also dont mind pets on the furniture while boarding, but it is all up to the parents instruction

“We were really nervous about going on vacation for two weeks, that was the longest we had left our dogs behind. Thankfully Jarrett made us feel so comfortable knowing he could handle our energetic big dogs. The daily updates were awesome. Not only did he follow feeding, walking and daily instructions but he went above and beyond for our fur babies. We cannot thank Jarrett enough!”

Marilyn M.

“Rae was very reliable and on time! She took great care of our two cats, and was able to coax our shy boy out of his shell. I will absolutely be rebooking with Rae in the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have walked dogs for pretty much everyone in my family. Big dogs are my favorite! I have a pit/lab mix and a Maltese at home! My baby Maltese is old but I still love him. I am a big guy so I can handle your big dogs! I am a full time teacher, but dogs are a big part of my life. I get out of work at 4 pm so anytime after that can be dedicated to walking/caring for your baby! I am going to start with just weekends, but I will be looking to open my calendar more as I get used to it. If you urgently need a weekday, just let me know! We can make it happen. I have a large fenced backyard, and two loving fur babies myself. I keep them crated for the most part, especially to not overwhelm any new friends!

“Cristina helped me out with some short term dog care needs on very short notice and I'll be forever grateful. She dropped in on my pups several times a day and always took care of all of their needs. She did a great job of handling my excitable golden doodle. Thanks Cristina!”

About: I'm a teacher who is on summer break and I will have a lot of time to care for your pet! I have had dogs my entire life. I have experience training puppies and caring for senior dogs. I adopted my first dog when I was 15 years old and she my my companion for 15 years. I eventually adopted a senior dog named Angus and he was my companion for 5 1/2 years. They were both amazing dogs who helped me learn a lot about animal care. I hope to spend my time this summer hanging out with and caring for your pet! I will be available after June 3 every day of the week. I do not work during the summer regularly, so I have a lot of time to spend with your pet! I will be unavailable from 9:00am-11:00am Monday-Thursday during the month of June while I teach virtually. I will also be unavailable from July 27-August 5. I currently have no pets, so my home could be your pet's home away from home! I have a fenced in yard that is very secure. I would love to take your dog on walks in my quiet neighborhood. Also, there is a nearby forest preserve that your dog would love to visit.

About: I had a husky/German shepherd mix as a child and always had cats growing up. In my 20s, I had a retired greyhound. I adopted my current pup, a lab mix named Murphy, during the pandemic and he is my best friend. I work from home 3 days a week. Murphy mostly naps all day and I take him out for 4-6 potty breaks a day and we walk at least 2 miles per day. I take care of my pup daily and take him out on regular walks and potty breaks. I have an apartment but there is plenty of space for us to roam about comfortably. I allow my pup the comfort of roaming about the apartment freely. I would allow your dog the same comfort. If your dog prefers a crate, I have space to set that up.
